Chapter 246: Not Convinced? I'll Blast You!

"I don't accept!"

A deep, resonant voice rang out over the tranquil plaza.

For a moment, countless eyes turned toward the speaker.

A figure clad in white armor slowly rose, its gaze full of contempt.

He stood quietly, savoring the crowd's stare, then said.

"Su Yu becomes Young Marshal, I don't accept!"

At those words, many furrowed their brows slightly.

Especially the Mad King and the Shadow Ghost King.

To them, Su Yu, whether in talent or combat power, is undoubtedly the era's top prodigy, so his becoming a Young Marshal of the Slay Dragon Army poses no problem at all.

Moreover, facing the Overlord King, Su Yu remained calm, which says a lot.

Especially since the former Heaven Sword King, when he became the First Army's commander, was directly suppressed by the Slay Dragon King after someone opposed him.

And he was a Marquis, too.

Logically, no one should continue to oppose.

After all, killing a chicken to warn the monkey, no one foolish enough would still step forward.

The Mad King gave the man a casual glance and said.

"Luo Ping, what do you want to say? Su Yu has passed the trial and is qualified to become Young Marshal; you can't just oppose it arbitrarily."

Luo Ping, the one who opened the opposition.

He bowed to the Mad King and said.

"Army Commander, I'm not being unreasonable. The Young Marshal of the Slay Dragon Army should be chosen from within the army, right? Su Yu's talent is extraordinary, but he's still not one of our Slay Dragon Army members, is he?"

"Recall that the Commander also rose step by step from the Slay Dragon Army, didn't he? A person who never joined the army suddenly becoming Young Marshal—it's not just me; many brothers must feel aggrieved."

"If it's about the Commander's prestige, then consider me silent."

Luo Ping said blandly, looking utterly indifferent.

Yet his words resonated with many.

Indeed, someone not even in the Slay Dragon Army suddenly became their Young Marshal.

What is a Young Marshal?

It is the future leader of the Slay Dragon Army.

If a non‑member were to suddenly command the Slay Dragon Army, most would disagree.

"Indeed, Commander, although Su Yu is your disciple, he still hasn't joined our Slay Dragon Army; how can he be considered a Young Marshal?"

"Exactly, the Young Marshal must be one of my Slay Dragon Army members."

Many members of the Slay Dragon Army spoke up, clearly swayed by Luo Ping's earlier words.

The Slay Dragon King quietly watched the crowd, listening to the voices.

After a moment, the Slay Dragon King spoke.

"Do you mean... I'm no longer counted as a member of the Slay Dragon Army?"

At those words, many instantly changed expression.

Even Luo Ping furrowed his brow slightly, clearly not expecting the Slay Dragon King to speak that way.

The Slay Dragon King said calmly.

"Do I recall that all descendants of the Slay Dragon Army are considered its members? Did I say that any disciple of the Slay Dragon Army can become one in the future?"

"Your name is Luo Ping, right?"

The Slay Dragon King looked at Luo Ping.

Under the Slay Dragon King's gaze, sweat instantly formed droplets on Luo Ping's forehead.

He stepped forward only because he didn't want Su Yu to become Young Marshal.

He is the Slay Dragon Army's prodigy; now in his early twenties, he has already become a Star Ancestor Master. Though he lacks any formal lineage, this only underscores his terrifying talent.

To be honest, he covets the Young Marshal position!

Yet, under the Slay Dragon King's stare, fear rose within him.

"Seems someone hasn't taken my words seriously!"

The Slay Dragon King spoke again.

Just a mood shift, and a suffocating aura spread across heaven and earth; some weaker Slay Dragon Army members turned pallid.

"Indeed, I haven't overseen the Slay Dragon Army for years; you probably forgot me, the Commander, haven't you?"

The Slay Dragon King rose slowly, a phantom azure dragon soaring from behind him, its fierce head gazing down upon the world.

Roar!

The golden dragon howls.

The heavens and earth tremble.

"Then, the Slay Dragon Army shall simply disband!"

The Slay Dragon King quietly watched all the Slay Dragon Army below.

In an instant, everyone's complexion changed wildly.

Luo Ping turned even paler, his body beginning to sway as if he would collapse at any moment.

He truly hadn't expected his words to provoke the Slay Dragon King.

Who is the Slay Dragon King?

Although the Slay Dragon King hasn't managed the army for years, he has always been its spiritual leader.

Without the Slay Dragon King, what right does the Slay Dragon Army have to bear that name?

Gazes full of resentment fell upon Luo Ping, one after another.

They looked at Luo Ping hatefully.

If not for Luo Ping's words, how could the Slay Dragon King have said such a thing?

They had always taken pride in being members of the Slay Dragon Army, but now the Slay Dragon King actually spoke of disbanding the Slay Dragon Army, instantly shocking them.

Kuang Wang and Yin Gui Wang both hurriedly bowed to the Slay Dragon King.

"Commander, please calm your anger; Luo Ping only had the future of the Slay Dragon Army in mind and meant no offense to the Commander."

"Yes, Commander, the Slay Dragon Army cannot be disbanded; once disbanded, all of Daxia will have no power to contend with the myriad races."

The two of them were also somewhat anxious.

Having been by the Slay Dragon King's side for many years, they naturally knew his temper; once he said he would disband, no one could dissuade him.

Even Yin Gui Wang gave Su Yu a look, hoping Su Yu would persuade the Slay Dragon King.

Once the Slay Dragon King really made such a decision, all of Daxia would be shaken.

Su Yu took a deep breath; although he somewhat disliked Luo Ping's type, the Slay Dragon Army simply cannot be disbanded.

He bowed to the Slay Dragon King and said:

"Please, teacher, withdraw your order!"

The Slay Dragon King said nothing, merely gazing silently at Su Yu.

Su Yu felt somewhat helpless, then turned his head to look at the anxiously awaiting Slay Dragon Army in the square, and said calmly:

"I know many people do not accept my position as Young Marshal; even after defeating Bai Chen, in some eyes it's just that."

"The so-called members of the Slay Dragon Army are merely an excuse."

Su Yu said calmly, then turned his gaze to Luo Ping.

"Luo Ping, right?"

Luo Ping startled, not expecting Su Yu to actually speak to him.

Su Yu continued speaking.

"You seem unwilling to let me become this Young Marshal, or is it that my appearance has taken your position?"

Su Yu's mouth corner twitched slightly.

"Give you a chance: defeat me, and this Young Marshal position will be yours—what then?"
