Words : 1356 Updated : Sep 29th, 2025

Hearing the guard say that Xia Liu was living in the King of Soldiers District, Pan Jiang, Niu Zhenjie, and all the Spearhead members were shocked. The Heaven Slaying Base's King of Soldiers District! That's where only those within Heaven Slaying who had reached the King of Soldiers level could reside! And now, Xia Liu had actually moved into the King of Soldiers District, which was simply terrifying. "This is absolutely impossible! He definitely can't!" Niu Zhenjie couldn't accept this fact, Xia Liu was an ordinary person, how could he possibly live in the King of Soldiers District? "Right! It must be fake!" Jiang Wenqiang thought the same as Niu Zhenjie; both couldn't believe and accept this fact. "Haha, we're here, go and eat your meal," the two guards said without further explanation. Explaining to these barbaric recruits would be a waste unless one was really bored. "Captain! You don't believe that Xia Liu has moved into the King of Soldiers District either, right?" Sitting around the long table, Niu Zhenjie spoke to Pan Jiang. "Hmm, I hardly believe it, but it must be true." Pan Jiang couldn't believe it either, but he was willing to accept it. He even had some expectations; Xia Liu, who was deemed the ultimate weapon by Fang Huasheng, must have extraordinary skills and courage. "Brother Jiang, Brother Niu, I feel that Xia Liu relied on connections to move there," Jiang Wenqiang had been thinking all the way until he finally arrived at this thought. "That's right! I almost forgot, he is General Fang's designated ultimate weapon, it must be General Fang pulling the strings, otherwise how could he live there!" "Yeah! I also feel the same!" "Hmph, a commoner who relies on connections, even if he lives in a presidential suite, it means nothing." "Right, trash is always trash!" Niu Zhenjie and the many team members went from initial shock to now coldly mocking. In their hearts, they completely despised Xia Liu; they had all climbed their way up from weakness step by step. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire With no one's help, knowing the hardships involved all too well. Now seeing Xia Liu becoming the ultimate weapon only by relying on connections, they were nothing but furious. However, they never imagined that Xia Liu had reached his position today by climbing step by step on his own. Only he knew his own efforts. If not for being overly diligent, he wouldn't have sealed his own cultivation. "Alright everyone, don't say any more, eat up, and rest well when you go back. Show your best condition tomorrow!" Pan Jiang couldn't listen any longer. This team, all being Primary-Level warriors, discussing an ordinary person so unabashedly was particularly erroneous. Nevertheless, Pan Jiang felt restless inside; he had a feeling that this year's competition would have astonishing developments, perhaps Spearhead even defeating Heaven Slaying. Naturally, Niu Zhenjie and others didn't dare to defy Pan Jiang, not only because he had higher cultivation but also because he was the captain. However, Jiang Wenqiang and Niu Zhenjie, unwilling to be looked down upon by an ordinary person, went to the King of Soldiers District after their meal. They couldn't even enter before being blasted out by a Primary-Level Mysterious Rank Warrior. Niu Zhenjie and Jiang Wenqiang were planning to take him on two against one. If not for Xia Liu appearing at that moment, those two groups would probably have been wasted. "Hmph! Xia Liu, you wait, I'll show you what it means to tremble! What a true Martial Artist is!" Before leaving, Niu Zhenjie and Jiang Wenqiang didn't forget to leave harsh words behind. "Damn! Two idiots," the Mysterious Rank Warrior guarding the King of Soldiers District couldn't stop complaining. "Young man, you came from Spearhead, right? How are you finding it living here?" "It's okay, thank you for being merciful and not hurting them." Xia Liu responded with a light smile to the Mysterious Rank Warrior's solace. "That's good, call me anytime you need something," after saying that, the Mysterious Rank Warrior left. The reason he looked after Xia Liu was all because of the cautions from those two guards. Xia Liu didn't think twice and turned to head back to his room. That night, in the early morning hours with a slight chill in the air, a knocking sound arose. When Xia Liu stopped his energy practice and opened the door, there stood Fang Huasheng, the old fox. "Not bad, Xia Liu, managing to snag such a room," Fang Huasheng remarked, admiring the room's decor and furnishings. "Old man, you must have something important to say to come find me," Xia Liu didn't want to beat around the bush with this old fox, who had tricked him twice already. He would need to be more cautious from now on. "Hehe, as you heard today, Ouyang Xiong, that old guy, still doesn't know about you and Fei'er." "Mm, I can tell." Xia Liu nodded, knowing Fang Huasheng must have a solution as he was sharing this information. "I came here to tell you, you'll have to handle this matter on your own." "Old man, that doesn't seem right…" Xia Liu was about to complain, as the old fox was not offering him any help. "I will definitely intervene when it's the right time, but this time Ouyang Xiong will surely send Tianjue into the fray…" By the end, worry surfaced on Fang Huasheng's face. "Tianjue? The current Sect Leader of Taiji Sect?" "Yes, he's the chief instructor of Heaven Slaying and is qualified to compete, so be careful. With me here, you won't be beaten to death, but there will definitely be some pain," he said. Fang Huasheng knew more about Tianjue than Ouyang Xiong; after all, he was an Earth-Rank Warrior. His concern for Xia Liu stemmed from a phone call he had earlier with Ouyang Lingtian. Ouyang Lingtian said Xia Liu currently had only Mysterious Rank Mid-Level cultivation, and he didn't say much more than that. Mysterious Rank Mid-Level. If he were to face Tianjue, he would be mercilessly crushed. "Don't worry, old man. Tianjue is just at Earth-Rank cultivation. I could make him kneel with just my two hands," Xia Liu said with a confident smile. … "Ah, originally, I wanted to help you get away first, but Ouyang Xiong already knows about you and Fei'er, so this fight is inevitable." "It's okay, I can handle it." "This way, tomorrow's events are routine competitions, you don't need to participate, just prepare for the day after tomorrow's fight." Fang Huasheng made such arrangements, worried that Ouyang Xiong might become too emotional upon seeing Xia Liu. "Alright, I will prepare well," Xia Liu responded resignedly. He knew explanations would be futile; Fang Huasheng would never believe him. Once at the arena, he would naturally see the outcome for himself. "Alright, rest well. For Fei'er's sake, I won't let Ouyang Xiong and Tianjue go too far," Fang Huasheng said with unprecedented seriousness and determination before he departed. The next morning, the sound of horns echoed throughout the Heaven Slaying Base. This sound excited all the warriors participating in the competition. In less than ten minutes, both Heaven Slaying and Spearhead personnel arrived at the training ground to assemble. They stood face to face, each group eyeing the other intently. "Let me explain the rules of the competition: as long as it doesn't violate morality, any form of action is permissible to accomplish the task." After the referee announced the rules, members from both sides reached out and grasped each other's hands tightly. "There is a 100-kilogram backpack over there. The first round is a weighted forest cross; whoever reaches the 10-kilometer mark first and retrieves the mission symbol can return. This round tests both individual and team strength, and now it begins!"
