Chapter 9: Tournaments
"Theoretically, that's true." The little girl nodded: "Huoyun is a sixth-level ability, but he has seventh-level spiritual power, he should be a spirit-type ability, and he should also be a sixth-level peak, but unless his special ability just restrains you, you should be able to defeat him." ”
"The genes of Yagu's predecessors are really strong." Beichen clenched his fists and said, "I am a fourth-level wanderer, and I can defeat the sixth-level peak!" ”
"Stupid master, come on! Your target is the Universe Strong! Now this kind of strength is far from enough! And if you want to wander outside, find Li Tian and Dr. Gao, and protect them, you must at least reach the peak of the sixth level, and after you have the strength to face the seventh level, you can do it! The little girl said.
"Well, you can't be proud." Beichen nodded.
……
In the following days, Beichen no longer went out, claiming that he was going to retreat and no longer meet customers.
It wasn't until the third day, when an important guest visited, that Beichen saw outsiders for the first time.
The people who came were two elders of the Huoyun Army, one named Jaston and the other named Lu Yan. On his first day as an elder, Beichen had seen the two of them at a banquet.
"Ha Lu Ha! Polaris. "Lu Yan is a rather bold person, about thirty years old, with bronzed skin and a very strong body.
As soon as he saw Beichen come out to greet him, he greeted him with a smile.
"Beichen." Jaston smiled and said hello.
Jastone was a very good-looking young man with long hair over his shoulders and wearing an ornate robe. Unlike Lu Yan, his whole person seemed very calm.
"Elder Lu Yan, Elder Jeston." Beichen looked polite, greeted the two with a faint smile, and welcomed the two into the living room.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Lu Yan said: "Since you moved in Beichen, we haven't visited yet, it's really rude, I hope you don't be surprised!" ”
Beichen smiled: "Lu Yan, you are outside." I'm new to the city, so I should have visited you first. ”
"Stupid master, when you first came, although you were an elder, after all, you still lacked qualifications, and now that your reputation in the Fire Cloud Army is getting bigger and bigger, they are also beginning to want to have a good relationship with you." The little girl's voice sounded in Beichen's mind.
"Hmm." Beichen replied secretly, but did not show it, and smiled and chatted with Lu Yan and Jeston.
After a while, Jaystone suddenly changed the topic and said to Beichen: "Beichen, I'm not afraid of your jokes, when you first became an elder, there were still many of us who were not convinced!" ”
When Beichen heard this, he smiled and didn't say anything.
"However, when I heard that you were assassinated by the Black Panther, not only did you not die, but you also killed the other party. We are naturally convinced, it is really worthy of the legendary nightmare of the year, and we are qualified to be on an equal footing with us! Lu Yan also laughed at this time.
"It's just luck." Beichen smiled lightly and said modestly.
"By the way, now that you have joined us, it has been a while, I think, soon, the leader will assign you some elder rights, I wonder what you want to be responsible for when the time comes?" Jaston asked suddenly.
"Ha Lu Ha! Boss, here's the point! At the moment of the Huoyun Army, the rights assigned to the elders should be almost saturated, and they must be worried that you will share their rights! The little girl suddenly snickered at this time.
Beichen also knew it and smiled faintly.
"What? Isn't power assigned by the chief? Beichen asked the two.
Jeston said: "You don't know this, although the rights are assigned by the leader, but what rights are to be allocated, the leader will still listen to your opinion, after all, you are an elder." ”
"Oh, that's right!" Beichen nodded.
"That'...... Have you figured it out? What do you want to be responsible for? Jaston then asked.
Beichen didn't answer face-to-face, but said: "I don't care, when the time comes, just listen to the leader, I will be responsible for whatever the leader assigns to me." ”
"Oh!" Jaston smiled and nodded, and asked again, "What about ...... What are you good at? Such as internal affairs, command? Another example of surveillance, planning, and assassination? Or is it about managing finances or something? ”
Beichen knew that he still didn't give up, and replied with a smile: "I know a little bit of everything, I am not particularly good at it." Anyway, I just listen to the chief! ”
Jace informed Lu Dao that he couldn't ask, so he gave up and nodded quietly.
Lu Yan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the table and said, "Hey! Say so much and do what? I think that those who can live in it, as long as they do better than others, then it will be fine. Beichen, I won't hide it from you, my position is a vanguard general, go into battle to kill the enemy, take the lead! But if you want to take the position, just ask the chief! When the time comes, as long as you can beat me, I will obey you! ”
Beichen smiled lightly, this Lu Yan is straight. But this kind of person is best to make friends, and there is no scheming.
"Lu Yan, you are serious. In short, I will do whatever the chief tells me to do. Beichen smiled lightly: "Maybe, when the leader asks me to take your place, I really want to fight with you!" ”
"Ha Lu Ha! Readily! Just come! I only serve those who have strength! Lu Yan said with a smile.
Beichen was also full of smiles, and he had a good impression of Lu Yan.
"Okay, we know that Dao Beichen is cultivating you, so we won't bother." Jastone stood up at the right time and said goodbye to Beichen.
Lu Yan also got up, Beichen stood up to see the two of them away, suddenly laughed at himself, and said to the little girl: "They already regard me as a strong rival." ”
"Stupid master, what are they, they don't accept two tricks!" The little girl hummed confidently.
"Those elders are very powerful, it seems that I am not very surprised to kill the black panther, although they are all fifth-level powerhouses, they should also be able to kill ordinary sixth-level powerhouses." Beichen Road.
"This is true, being able to be an elder of the Fire Cloud Army is very special in itself." The little girl replied.
"Okay, continue to cultivate." Beichen didn't think much about it anymore, and walked into the practice room again.
Today, when Sha went out shopping, he was rarely quiet, and he began to relax and devote himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation.
……
As expected, two days later, seven elders, including Beichen, were summoned to the fortress of the fire cloud.
"Everyone should also know that Beichen has been here for so many days and has won everyone's trust." Huoyun sat on the first seat, and the sound as loud as a bell spread through every corner of the conference hall.
"Since you are an elder, you should take on the heavy responsibility." Huoyun said, then turned to an elder and asked, "Lewis, you are the general affairs elder, let me ask you, at present, are there any important positions to be vacant?" ”
The white-robed elder named Lewis replied respectfully, "Chief, there is another important position, which is the chief food safety officer. ”
Hearing this, Huoyun frowned.
If it was before, maybe Huoyun wouldn't hesitate, but since Beichen killed the Black Panther, he also understood that Beichen's strength was not weaker than the other elders. Moreover, as the captain of Beichen, he used to be the one who led the troops, and Huoyun wanted Beichen to manage the military and politics.
"Food safety is important, but it's enough to have a veteran adjudicator in charge. In the army, there are no more vacant positions? Huoyun suddenly asked.
At this time, the two elders became nervous.
One of them is a marshal, and the other is a superintendent. The two most important positions have already put them in charge.
Of course, there is another one that seems to be nervous, that is, Lu Yan, the pioneer, not only charges into battle, but also often takes on some killer tasks, which is also a very important position. However, Lu Yan was not nervous, but sat with a big grin, looking at Huoyun very confidently.
"Chief." Lewis said respectfully: "In the army, there are only some small positions left, and it is a bit overkill to let Elder Beichen be in charge. ”
"Hmm." Huoyun nodded and groaned. Of course, he would not deprive the other elders of their positions and pass them on to Beichen, which would make the other elders feel cold.
"Chief!" Suddenly, a person shouted, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Beichen also looked at this person in a daze.
It was Lu Yan who spoke, he was watched by everyone, his face was still grinning, and he said to Huoyun: "If Elder Beichen can beat me, I don't mind abdicating to make way for Xian to be a deputy general under him." ”
"Oh?" Huoyun smiled, "Really? ”
"Of course! You know my character, I only serve people with strength. Moreover, I really want to fight with Elder Beichen! Lu Yan smiled confidently.
"Elder Beichen, what do you think?" Huoyun looked at Beichen again.
"This ......" Beichen hesitated, he had a good impression of Lu Yan, and he always felt that he was a little reluctant to seize power like this.
The other elders smiled and looked at each other. They all held the posture of watching the play, in their opinion, Beichen hesitated, should be afraid. Although it was just a competition, it was quite embarrassing to lose. Lu Yan's strength is recognized by everyone, although Beichen can kill the black panther, but Beichen also injured his entire arm at that time, they don't think Beichen can win against Lu Yan.
"Elder Beichen? Don't you dare? Lu Yan suddenly used the radical method, his eyes were full of war, and he obviously couldn't wait to fight with Beichen.
"Beichen, what do you say?" The corners of Huoyun's mouth curled slightly, looking at Beichen.
"Good! Since Elder Lu Yan has said so, I will naturally accompany him! Beichen nodded without hesitation.
"Ha Luha, good!" Huoyun laughed, "Then the time is set for three days, and you will solve it in the tournament platform!" ”
Soon, Huoyun announced the adjournment of the meeting.
"Who's going to win, you say?" As he walked out of the fort, an elder suddenly asked Lewis beside him.
"This is not exact, but Elder Lu Yan's strength is very strong." Lewis's answer was pertinent.
"In my opinion, Lu Yan has won!" Another elder said.
……
The next day, the news of Beichen's battle against Lu Yan spread throughout the entire military camp.
"I heard that the new Beichen Elder is going to compete with Lu Yan Pioneer!"
"Isn't it? Can Elder Beichen win? ”
"That is, our vanguard has almost no opponents except for the leader."
"However, Elder Beichen is a very good person, and it's not bad that he wants to take us with him."
"Yes, but only if he can win the vanguard!"
"Win the vanguard? Joke! ”
In fact, these topics are just a matter of fun, and the soldiers all think that it is almost impossible for Beichen to win against Lu Yan.
