Those are my soldiers, I know them well. You’re bound to lose this round,\" a nearby commander said gleefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Older Brother, you’re being happy too soon.\" Xing Tiexin responded a bit displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, Younger Brother Xing, how was that?\" That commander, seeing his centurion had won, asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Tiexin’s face fell a bit, and he said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Yuan scratched his face and exchanged a glance with Song Changming, also feeling embarrassed, especially as they were dominated by the opposing commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the first round ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The losers, with heads hanging low, left the stage and gloomily returned to the phalanx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the victor stood proudly on the stage, enjoying the moment of being in the limelight in the entire army, while waiting for the next opponent to come up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who won could stay on the stage as long as he wanted until someone defeated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, to stand out and get more noticed among the plethora of soldiers, one needed to last as many rounds as possible on stage; naturally, over time, more people would take notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the Flag leader on the high platform took interest, this martial contest would be considered a success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, after the first round, names didn’t need to be called again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers could freely get on stage to try and replace the person on the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after the first round, the atmosphere became even more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining centurions under Xing Tiexin, following their defeat in the first round, also couldn’t sit still, each picking an opponent to fight on stage, determined to secure a position for the general and plant their team’s flag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, under Xing Tiexin, four centurions succeeded in holding the stage, which was quite decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Xing Tiexin could feel relieved, two of them were soon knocked off by other centurions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several more rounds, of the ten centurions, only one remained on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That man was Zhao Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the centurions, Zhao Li’s strength was notable; otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of challenging Song Changming for that Deputy General position back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of strength, among Xing Tiexin’s ten centurions, Zhao Li was the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Song Changming hadn’t intervened, Zhao Li, given a few more years of honing, would have had a high chance of securing the Deputy General position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possessing near Vice General Level martial skills, Zhao Li also gained some fame in the centurion contest today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, he couldn’t maintain sole dominance in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among other centurions, there were also those close to Vice General Level in strength, and even stronger ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, no matter how hard he grit his teeth, he couldn’t hold out until the end on the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Younger Brother Xing, that guy’s not bad, a potential Deputy General,\" a commander noticed Zhao Li and remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, him? He’s a branch member of the Zhao Family, indeed not bad,\" Xing Tiexin nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in his heart, he didn’t quite value Zhao Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he knew that guy always regarded Zhao Linxin as his leader, and compared to him, Zhao Li would be more loyal to the Zhao Family and Zhao Linxin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a soldier was destined not to become his trusted subordinate or be heavily utilized by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these true thoughts of his heart weren’t something he would casually tell others, so he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Originally, I intended to support him as my Deputy General, but later I found more suitable candidates, and his character is still too impulsive; his strength is also a bit lacking, needing more refining...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, another commander’s gaze fell on Song Changming, smiling, he said: \"It’s the young man behind you, right? He became your Deputy General right out of Recruit Training Camp, thinking he’s quite the talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When guarding the Spirit Crystal Vein, I saw it for myself, indeed impressive in strength, more suitable than that Zhao family’s kid, even Flag Master Wang praised him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This commander’s attitude was more amicable, and the glimpse in his eyes at Song Changming carried appreciation, obviously acknowledging him a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, General, for your praise,\" Song Changming cupped his hands politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally so, this young man has been by my side for more than a year and is sure to achieve great things in the future.\" Talking about Song Changming, Xing Tiexin finally showed some traces of a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If asked which talents dug up over the years made him most satisfied, it would be Fu Yuan and Song Changming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones truly capable of amounting to something were only these two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blowing the trumpet so much, let’s see how this young brother of yours performs next; I also have a tough one here.\" Another commander, Hu Xiangnan joked happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, you’re talking about that Ma Lie Feng by your side, right? Let’s have some stakes then, Old Hu,\" Xing Tiexin replied without any fear, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their relationship was evidently good, though verbal exchanges were fierce, neither had any intention of real conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, fifty pieces of middle grade Spirit Crystal, how about it?\" Hu Xiangnan touched his scratchy stubble-covered chin and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Tiexin readily agreed and then turned to Song Changming, saying, \"Did you hear that?
