Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 467 Belonging! (Two in One)

Tang Leshan's face was calm, and he performed normally, easily defeating his opponent again.

Ever since he overestimated his own abilities last time and had a sparring match with Song Changming, Tang Leshan has fallen from the peak to the bottom.

From the initial high spirits and high self-esteem to the subsequent frustration and decadence.

Now, many years have passed, and Tang Leshan has finally regained his spirits. His temperament has become calmer and he is no longer so easily swayed by his emotions.

In general, after experiencing a severe setback, Tang Leshan survived and grew.

Now he truly possesses the temperament of a strong man, and in terms of strength, he has basically secured his title as the number one flag bearer in the military.

The only person who could compete with him was Xu Yuan, who came from behind and controlled the power of thunder.

"Thank you." Tang Leshan said calmly, then looked at Song Changming on the high cliff, and then stepped aside.

Tang Leshan's match ended quickly, but he was not the fastest to win in this group.

When he retreated, the young prince Hu Fanyi had already stood aside with his arms folded across his chest, quietly waiting for the third round of the duel.

Seeing Tang Leshan approaching, Hu Fanyi nodded to him, as a greeting and also a recognition of Tang Leshan's strength.

At the end of the second round, most of the original 78 candidates had been eliminated, leaving only the final 20 to proceed to the third round.

The arrangement of the confrontation list is still done by military officials.

This is not a random draw, but an intentional arrangement based on the level of cultivation and performance on the field.

It can't be said to be fair. After all, this is a selection for the Marshal, not an ordinary martial arts competition. Through rounds of screening, everything is just to keep the strongest four to the end and send them to the position that should belong to them.

Of course, if a dark horse emerges during this period that is beyond everyone's expectations, Song Changming would also be happy to see it.

But in reality, such cases are very rare.

Basically, many people in the military have a rough idea of ​​who can become the commander-in-chief, and they rarely make mistakes.

That time when Song Changming became the commander-in-chief, many people in the military were caught off guard.

But a person like Song Changming is rare in the military in a century.

The third round of fighting started again after an hour's rest, and this time the fighting was even more intense than the previous two rounds.

After all, having fought to this point, he is not far from the position of Marshal.

The rest of the people were also very clear that among the four marshal positions, the designated Hu Fanyi, the powerful Tang Leshan, and the promising Xu Yuan who was in charge of Thunder would surely occupy three of them if nothing unexpected happened.

As for this last commander position, theoretically, each of them has a chance to compete for it. After all, the gap in cultivation strength among the remaining people is not that big.

This has also led to fierce competition.

Hu Fanyi, Tang Leshan and Xu Yuan were still the first to win, while Yang Zhen met a tough opponent in this round, fighting against Yu Ruizhi from the third army.

Song Changming actually had some impression of this person.

Like Su Qingqing, Yu Ruizhi has some demon blood and is said to be an ape demon.

He has a strong physique, extraordinary strength and speed, and was the number one figure who could rely on his powerful body and bloodiness to compete head-on with Song Changming.

His strong fighting ability soon put Yang Zhen into a tough battle.

The two sides fought for hundreds of rounds, and in the end Yang Zhen won by half a point by relying on the burst of a set of first-grade gun techniques.

The tip of his spear was pointing at Yu Ruizhi's heart, while Yu Ruizhi's claws, which were wrapped in internal energy, were only a few inches away from Yang Zhen's face.

"I lost." Yu Ruizhi withdrew his hand, sighed, and shook his head, with a hint of unwillingness on his face.

Obviously, he was not satisfied with losing in this round, and he was actually the strongest contender for the fourth coaching position.

It’s a pity that he missed the target by one move and was doomed to lose the position of commander this time.

"Thank you." Yang Zhen also put away his spear with a resolute expression.

Although this step was difficult, fortunately it was taken.

"Thanks to Chang Ming, if I hadn't learned this spear technique, I would be the only one who lost today."

There are several sets of first-grade gun techniques in the military arsenal. Logically speaking, the merits he has accumulated are still a little short of being able to exchange for first-grade gun techniques.

He originally estimated that it would take another three to five years, until he had accumulated enough personal merit, before he could hope to learn the first-grade spear technique that he had set his eyes on in the armory.

But who would have thought that his good brother would suddenly become the head of the military.

As the saying goes, it's nice to take shelter under a big tree. In the past, Yang Zhen had always protected Song Changming, and now Song Changming has become their big tree.

Song Changming himself is not an upright person, so taking care of his own people is naturally not a big deal, and it is just a small matter for him.

After learning about this, he found an excuse to let Yang Zhen learn the gun tactics in advance.

Now it has come into play, bringing Yang Zhen one step closer to the position of marshal.

After the third round, only the final ten people were left.

After half a day's rest, the fourth round began.

Hu Fanyi, Tang Leshan and Xu Yuan won easily again, and Yang Zhen also won this round without any danger. The process seemed even easier than the fight with Yu Ruizhi.

In this way, the ten people became the final five.

Song Changming took a step forward, and his figure came into the air, facing the five people in front of him.

The fifth person was Dou Xuan, the small flag leader of the Sixth Army, holding a heavy iron sword.

Dou Xuan came from the Dou family in the second urban area, and was considered a descendant of a prominent family.

"The five of you are excellent candidates for the position of commander-in-chief in all aspects. Now I ask you, who is willing to lead an army?" Song Changming asked directly.

"I'm willing to accept!" Hu Fanyi looked directly at Song Changming and spoke first.

There is a faint aura of kingship about him. Although it is not as strong as that of the Green King, it is also a temperament that ordinary people cannot possess.

This is what he learned from following his father since he was a child.

Under this kingly power, few people would dare to contradict him.

But the five people who were decided today are all extraordinary people!
"I'm willing to accept it!" Tang Leshan stepped forward, looked at Song Changming, and said without changing his expression.

"This"

The small flag owners and officials who were watching looked at each other, surprised that Tang Leshan would stand up at this time.

It was almost a foregone conclusion that Hu Fanyi would be the commander-in-chief of an army.

Tang Leshan's interference seems somewhat unwise.

"I am originally a soldier of an army, and I was promoted by Marshal Hu Donghuo. This time I came for the position of commander of an army!" Tang Leshan said with a bow, his voice loud and powerful.

He stated the reason for his intervention, causing everyone to be silent.

Song Changming raised his eyebrows. He thought that the person who did not play by the rules might be Xu Yuan, but he did not expect that Tang Leshan would dare to make such a choice.

In his opinion, Tang Leshan didn't have much chance of winning against Hu Fanyi. "You two both want to be the commander of an army, which is easy to do. Just fight another round." Song Changming smiled lightly, not intending to let Tang Leshan back down.

In the military, the one with the most powerful fists has the final say. If Hu Fanyi really lost, he would not protect this little prince.

Just in case, he had already gone to King Cui to find out.

In fact, the decision to go to the military to take up the post of commander-in-chief was Hu Fanyi's own decision and had nothing to do with Queen Cui.

Prince Cui also bluntly told Song Changming not to worry about his face and just do his job impartially. It would be best if Hu Fanyi could have more opportunities to hone his skills in the military in the future.

It was also with King Cui's instruction that Song Changming didn't need to worry about anything.

"Okay." Hu Fanyi agreed directly.

In his opinion, it was best if someone wanted to fight him. He just wanted to take the position of commander in a fair and just manner, not by relying on his status as a young prince.

Let’s fight!

Thus, the two strongest candidates started fighting each other.

Tang Leshan is indeed very powerful. With the support of the top family, Tang clan, he is also the next promising candidate of the Tang clan to break through to the Grandmaster realm.

He won easily in the previous few rounds.

Only in this confrontation with Hu Fanyi did he have the opportunity to show all his abilities.

His cultivation level of the innate perfection realm alone was far ahead of the other small flag owners, and the onlookers shook their heads.

What would be the use even if they could hold on for a few more rounds? In the end, facing an opponent of Tang Leshan's level, they had no chance of winning at all.

They had to face the reality that they were completely outnumbered this time.

In the field, after fifty rounds, the two were evenly matched.

But after a hundred rounds, Hu Fanyi began to gain the upper hand, and Tang Leshan could only defend himself.

Although both of them have achieved innate perfection, Hu Fanyi is obviously stronger.

After three hundred rounds of fighting, Tang Leshan was finally stabbed by a sword and vomited blood and retreated.

"I lost." Tang Leshan took a deep breath, looked at Hu Fanyi who stood proudly in the clouds, and shook his head.

"You are very strong, thank you." Hu Fanyi said, put away his sword and looked at Song Changming beside him.

"From today on, you will be the commander-in-chief of the army." Song Changming didn't waste any words and directly decided on the candidate for the first commander-in-chief position.

Hu Fanyi absolutely deserves the title, and the strong strength he has demonstrated has made people no longer talk about the internal appointment in private.

As for Tang Leshan, although he lost again in the final competition for the position of Marshal, his mentality is now much more resilient than before, and he quickly accepted the result.

"Who is willing to take the position of commander-in-chief of the Thirteenth Army?" After the position of commander-in-chief of an army was settled, Song Changming looked at the remaining four people again.

"Brother Tang, why don't you try again?" Xu Yuan suddenly smiled and looked at Tang Leshan.

Tang Leshan stood aside in silence. Although he failed in the competition for the position of commander of one army, he could still continue to compete for the remaining three positions.

However, he had already fought a fierce battle with Hu Fanyi before, and was exhausted and even injured. When he continued to compete for the position of coach, his strength would inevitably decline.

Tang Leshan, who had lost his original goal of becoming the commander-in-chief of an army, learned his lesson this time. He did not continue to fight for the position of commander-in-chief, but chose to take a break and recover from the consumption of the recent battle.

In his eyes, except for the position of military commander, the other three positions made no difference to him. He only needed to get one of them, so there was no need to rush.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan muttered to himself that it was a pity, then he stepped forward, saluted to Song Changming and said, "I am willing to accept it."

Although the two of them have a good relationship in private, they still need to be considerate of the proper manners in public, otherwise they will only lead to gossip.

Song Changming nodded. There was no one competing with Xu Yuan for the position of commander-in-chief of the 13th Army, so Xu Yuan got the position so easily.

Song Changming then asked, "Who is willing to take the position of commander-in-chief of the 19th Army?"

The 19th Army was the army previously led by Song Changming.

Now that Song Changming has become the Grand Marshal, the position of commander of the 19th Army has naturally become vacant.

Since it was a newly established army with no foundation, there was naturally no suitable candidate to replace the commander-in-chief.

Xiao Peibai, who has the most potential, is now far behind in terms of cultivation strength, achievements and qualifications. He is not even on the list of candidates for the position of commander, let alone others.

"I am willing to accept it."

"I am willing to accept it."

Yang Zhen and Dou Xuan spoke almost at the same time, while Tang Leshan was still sitting cross-legged on the clouds with his eyes closed to recover from his energy consumption, and it seemed that he had no intention of getting involved in the competition for the position of commander.

In this way, it will be clear who the competitors are.

Yang Zhen took a deep breath and suppressed his fluctuating emotions.

This time, he is only one step away from the position of Marshal that he has always dreamed of!
As long as he defeats Dou Xuan, the position of commander of the 19th Army will be his!
At the same time, Dou Xuan had the same feeling, tightly gripping his heavy iron sword, the cold iron hilt becoming hot in his grip.

Among all the small flag owners, who wouldn't want to go one step further, take the commanding position, command the entire army, and become the backbone of the human race?

Although this small flag owner and the commander-in-chief seem to be close to each other, there is a huge gap in their status and power.

The simplest and clearest comparison is that in a large army, there is only one general, but there can be several small flag owners.

"Brother Yang, I'm sorry for the offense in today's battle!" Dou Xuan said to Yang Zhen first, his tone full of determination.

Apologize first, because he will try his best in this battle, even if it means seriously injuring Yang Zhen, he will not hesitate!

He knew that the opportunity before him was too rare, and if he didn't try his best, he would regret it in the future!

"Brother Dou, I feel the same way, don't blame me!" Yang Zhen said slowly with a serious expression, raising the spear in his hand.

"Get ready and start." Song Changming stepped aside and said.

Yang Zhen and Dou Xuan are actually very close in strength, so it would not be surprising if either of them wins in the end.

Yang Zhen first fought against Yu Ruizhi and then faced Dou Xuan. If he could finally ascend to the position of commander by stepping on these two people, no one would doubt Yang Zhen's strength.

"please!"

"please!"

After the two men finished speaking, they remained in a stalemate for only a moment, and then their internal energy burst out, and the spear and sword energy collided in one place, and a war broke out.

As everyone expected, the two were evenly matched and fought for hundreds of rounds without a clear winner.

"Brother Yang's strength has increased so quickly, we really can't underestimate him." Xu Yuan, who had already secured a position as a marshal, watched the duel and felt his blood boiling, causing arcs of electricity to surround his body.

After two hundred rounds, both of them were injured, and their injuries were serious, but their attacks did not decrease in the slightest, and the clash of internal energy was still intense, with no intention of stopping at all.

Seeing this, Song Changming didn't want to interrupt the two of them.

It's just that he is always ready to take action to prevent any accidents from happening under his nose.
