Chapter 1585: The Second Commendation Assembly (3)

Zhao Chi already was very strong.

But still not strong enough.

Two months ago, in the battle before he joined the World-Breaking Army, Zhao Chi had seen his uncle Zhao Qizong's strength.

At that time his combat power was already 39,707 points.

And at that time, having been successively weakened by the Heavenly King Army and the werewolves, the Zhao family was at its weakest.

Even at such a time, his uncle's combat power still remained close to 40,000 points.

And now, with two months of rest and reorganization, plus the addition of a dragon to the family, his uncle Zhao Qizong's combat power probably already exceeded 50,000.

If hidden combat power were added in, breaking through 60,000 would not be impossible.

But what about Zhao Chi?

Perhaps he had 20,000 combat power now?

He himself had absolutely no confidence in being able to defeat his uncle; at most he could match second clan-brother Zhao Huang.

And Zhao Qizong was only one of the Zhao family's leaders.

Stronger than the Zhao family was the Xiao family; above the Xiao family was the entire Stream Village Squadron, and Stream Village Squadron was only an ordinary, newly formed squadron. Not to mention comparing it to the Phantom Squadron and the Jade Squadron, it couldn't even match several established squadrons like the Eternal Squadron and the Blaze Squadron.

Zhao Chi knew he was formidable now.

But still not formidable enough.

He could reveal part of his strength, but could not reveal all of it.

The World-Breaking Army was no gathering of saints and good men.

Within this Binghe General Corps, there was the rivalry between Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting. And the dispute between those two was still considered polite.

After all, this kind of contention was all on the surface, directly visible.

There was far more mutual deception and scheming lurking deep beneath the water, far beyond such childish squabbling between these two women.

Although Shangguan Ting's personality was very tough, she was very straightforward, rarely resorting to roundabout plots.

The contest between the two of them seemed fierce, but was ultimately mostly verbal squabbling; the two squadrons had never had real combat clashes.

Moreover, both Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting were beauties of the first rank, so everyone treated the conflicts and disputes between them as entertainment.

Like watching beauties on stage perform for them.

Entertainment, that's all.

Just watching the show, nothing more.

Smiling cheerfully on the surface, but not taking it to heart behind the scenes.

What was truly terrifying was political struggle.

That was the kind that killed without spilling blood.

That was the cruelest of all.

The other party had no quarrel with you at all, yet you were simply dead, and even before dying you didn't know who the enemy was.
