Chapter 458: Gun God Tong's Strength (Thanks to You 555 for the generous support!)
September 25, 2017
After subduing Wen Chen, Lu HaiKong turned his gaze towards Zhao Yun.
The three individuals previously subdued by Lu HaiKong, were all different cases. One had been in Lu HaiKong's plans from the start, another was an admirer, and the last was a refugee who had wanted to join Lu HaiKong from the beginning.
Subduing them had been relatively easy, but subduing the young Zhao Yun would not be so simple.
As a martial artist, the current situation should have stirred his blood, and young Zhao Yun was no exception.
It was clear that the young man was eager to try his hand, but he was blocked by Gun God Tong. His precious disciple couldn't be allowed to be taken away by Lu HaiKong so easily.
Gun God Tong had witnessed the previous scenes, and the sight of three generals entering the tent one after another had even stirred his own blood. If his disciple went up and was taken away by Lu HaiKong, who would he have to complain to?
"Governor, my young disciple is mischievous and unruly, unlike that young friend from a military clan. This old man doesn't have many years left, and I was hoping he would inherit my legacy. I beg the Governor to be magnanimous and not recruit this young fellow into the army."
Lu HaiKong frowned upon hearing this, feeling dissatisfied. "The purpose of setting up this arena was clearly stated. Now that he's on the stage, he's saying he doesn't want to participate anymore. What do you mean by this, old man?"
"Governor, it is my fault. I didn't understand the rules and allowed my disciple to go on stage without proper preparation. Please forgive my recklessness." Gun God Tong bowed to Lu HaiKong again.
Seeing Gun God Tong's unwavering attitude, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but sigh.
"This isn't a major offense. I just find his talent extraordinary, and he seems to have the potential to be a great general. It's only natural to be interested in such talent."
As Lu HaiKong spoke, Gun God Tong couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, thinking Lu HaiKong had given up.
"Since Mr. Tong doesn't permit him to join the army, there's nothing I can do. However, I have long admired Mr. Tong's reputation as the Gun God. I've wanted to meet you for a long time. May I invite you to be the head instructor of my army?"
Gun God Tong was taken aback, not expecting Lu HaiKong to make such an offer. He politely declined, "Thank you for the Governor's kindness, but I'm already old and unable to take on such a heavy responsibility. I suggest you find someone more suitable."
As Gun God Tong repeatedly declined, Lu HaiKong hadn't even become angry yet, but several of the other generals couldn't bear to watch anymore.
In their eyes, Lu HaiKong had sincerely invited Gun God Tong, and his repeated refusals seemed like he was being ungrateful.
Pan Feng, who had arrived at some point, spoke up, "My Lord, this old man is clearly afraid that he can't live up to his reputation as the Gun God, so he's making excuses to leave."
"How dare you!" Lu HaiKong's eyebrows furrowed, his anger rising.
"Please forgive me, Governor. I truly lack the talent, and I don't deserve the title of Gun God. I'm just an old man who has some knowledge of spear techniques."
As Gun God Tong spoke, he suddenly remembered his little disciple.
Glancing over, he noticed his precious disciple looking a bit disappointed, his gaze fixed on Wen Chen.
Gun God Tong's eyes narrowed, "May I ask if this old man can lend a hand to this general?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone became alert.
They had all witnessed the battle between Wen Chen and Lu HaiKong, and Lu HaiKong's strength was already formidable. That guy was even more terrifying, making Wen Chen the strongest presence in the training ground at the moment.
This old man had been acting cowardly, but now he suddenly showed courage, specifically challenging Wen Chen by name. How could those present not be excited?
Everyone's attention was on the old man, curious to see what he was up to.
On Wen Chen's side, he had long been annoyed by the old man's delaying tactics, and now that the old man had specifically called him out, he was more than happy to teach the old man a lesson.
However, Wen Chen did not immediately rush out. Instead, he looked towards Lu HaiKong.
Wen Chen's subconscious action was quite impressive, proving that he had already regarded Lu HaiKong as his lord and had entered a state of readiness.
Over on Lu HaiKong's side, Gun God Tong suddenly made a request that left him puzzled.
But he did not refuse, and not only did he not refuse, he even sent two elite-level long spears to the two of them.
Since Gun God Tong had not brought any weapons, and Wen Chen's previous spear had been damaged in the earlier battle,
After the two of them took up the long spears, their surroundings were cleared, and everyone began to anticipate the upcoming duel.
The duel began quickly, and Wen Chen, who had long been eager to fight, took the initiative and attacked first.
Wen Chen's Wind God Spear Technique was unleashed, and his long spear moved like a raging storm, aiming at Gun God Tong's entire body.
Wen Chen went all out from the start, and although he was unaware of Gun God Tong's true strength, the fact that someone had witnessed his combat and still dared to challenge him indicated extraordinary power.
Gun God Tong's strength was indeed extraordinary, and it was even freakish.
As the First Swordmaster, Wang Yue had a combat strength of 98, and Lu HaiKong had to use his full power, combining sneak attacks and strategies, to defeat him.
Could it be easy for Gun God Tong, who was on the same level as Wang Yue?
In a 6-9-1-9-1 book, there was no wrong version!
Just as Wen Chen's attack landed, Gun God Tong displayed his exceptional strength.
Wen Chen's spear technique immediately suppressed Gun God Tong, and although it was not as overwhelming as Lu HaiKong's suppression of Zhang Liao, it was indeed a suppression.
Everyone could see that Wen Chen was firmly suppressed by Gun God Tong.
The duel between Wen Chen and Gun God Tong was quite frustrating, and Wen Chen couldn't even manage a decent attack.
With each thrust of his spear, Gun God Tong quickly found his weaknesses, forcing him to retreat and defend instead of attacking.
The battle was frustrating, but it was also advantageous for Wen Chen.
"This old man wants to give Wen Chen some pointers." Zhao YueEr, who was by Lu HaiKong's side, was the first to realize Gun God Tong's intention in suddenly challenging Wen Chen.
"Hmm, he not only wants to give Wen Chen pointers, but he also wants to show off his strength and display his martial prowess. It seems this old man has no respect for the court."
Lu HaiKong could sense that Gun God Tong vaguely rejected him, or perhaps the court that he represented. This was one of the reasons why Gun God Tong agreed to Lu HaiKong's request without hesitation.
However, Lu HaiKong had made a slight mistake in his guess. The old man was showing off his muscles for the sake of his beloved disciple.
"So, what should we do? Should we tie him up like we did with Wang Yue?" Zhao YueEr eagerly awaited the answer.
Upon hearing these words, Lu HaiKong broke out in a cold sweat. Did he really give off such a violent impression?
"We can't tie up everyone. Besides, even if we tie him up, it probably won't work. Let's take it slow."
"Oh." Zhao YueEr felt a sense of loss when she heard that they wouldn't tie him up.
While Lu HaiKong and Zhao YueEr were conversing, the duel between Wen Chen and Gun God Tong was also coming to an end.
After Gun God Tong pointed out the flaws in Wen Chen's spear technique, the old man directly ended the duel with a beautiful display of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix.
In just a few dozen rounds, everyone was left in awe as they witnessed the means by which a top-notch expert was swiftly and effortlessly defeated...
