Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

Lin Ye has been enjoying depleting Zhou Ru and the other's magical power these past few days, but he hasn't forgotten about the Divine Martial Army.

Judging by the time, it should be time for Wu Qing and Zhao Fei to settle their bet.

After thinking it over, Lin Ye ordered the eunuchs to summon them to the palace for an audience.

As the eunuch announced in a high-pitched voice, Wu Qing and Zhao Fei stepped into the hall side by side.

The two men were of different heights and looked completely different, but their expressions were surprisingly similar.

If I had to use just one word to describe it...

That must feel like a gentle spring breeze.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The two knelt down at the same time, their python robes spreading out like two red clouds.

Lin Ye's gaze swept over the two of them, and after gesturing for them to stand up, he slowly asked, "Have you decided who won?"

Zhao Feixian spoke first, saying, "Your Majesty, I entered the Dao Integration Realm the day before yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye nodded to himself and then turned his gaze to Wu Qing.

Wu Qing stammered, his voice unusually low, two octaves lower than usual: "Your humble servant..."

"Could it be that Wu Qing's cultivation hasn't improved at all?" Lin Ye wondered, seeing Wu Qing dawdling like this.

If that were the case, it would surprise Lin Ye. Although Wu Qing's martial arts talent was not high, he had experience, and he had always been diligent in practicing martial arts, so he should not have made no progress.

Wu Qing quickly waved his hand and said, "The cultivation technique given by His Majesty is extremely exquisite. Since I, Old Wu, started practicing the He Yuan Gong, I was previously stuck at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm. Not only did I suddenly break through, but I also skipped the late-stage of the Innate Realm and went directly to the He Dao Realm."

He paused, then scratched his head and chuckled, "It's just... I, Old Wu, only entered the Dao Integration Realm yesterday."

Lin Ye: "..."

It turns out it was all just a matter of time.

Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly, then he coughed lightly and said, "Very well, although there are different times when martial arts are mastered and different winners and losers in bets, the fact that they can both reach the Dao Integration Realm within a few dozen days makes them my pillars of support, and they deserve to be rewarded."

"Zhao Fei, I hereby appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Divine Martial Army."

"Wu Qing, you are appointed commander of the Divine Martial Army and will assist in military affairs."

Upon hearing this, the two replied in unison, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

"Zhao Fei, how's the selection process for the captains of the Divine Martial Army going?"

Although the leader of the Divine Martial Army was only decided today, his subordinate, Colonel Lin Ye, had been selected by Zhao Fei from the entire army a few days ago.

"Your Majesty, all twenty-eight candidates have been selected."

"Take me to see this."

......

Martial Arts Training Ground

Lin Ye stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back, watching the soldiers below engage in two-on-one battles.

At the same time, he was also listening to Zhao Fei introduce each of the twenty-eight people.

"..."

"Your Majesty, this man is named Ming Xinjing, twenty-five years old, and has reached the Acquired Realm of Martial Arts. He is the most skilled among these twenty-eight people, and also the fastest to master the divine skill Your Majesty bestowed upon him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye's gaze fell upon Mingxin Jing.

At first glance, he was handsome with clear features and a dashing appearance. Even from a great distance, Lin Ye could sense his imposing aura.

Wu Qing was standing on the field making battle arrangements at this moment.

At Wu Qing's command, Mingxinjing leaped forward like a tiger.

Mingxinjing's opponent was a burly middle-aged man.

When the middle-aged man saw Mingxinjing swing his palm with a fierce aura, he dodged it by tilting his body.

The two sides then exchanged several blows, and it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe in the back and forth.

However, Lin Ye could tell that Mingxin Jing had not used his full strength; so far, he had only been testing the opponent's moves.

Sure enough, after the two sides finished fighting, Mingxinjing seemed to be a completely different person when he made his move again.

With a flash, while the middle-aged man was still searching for Mingxin Jing, Mingxin Jing had already kicked him from behind.

Although the middle-aged man staggered forward several steps after being kicked, he quickly regained his balance thanks to his extraordinary martial arts skills.

However, the Mirror of Enlightenment would not give the middle-aged man a chance to catch his breath, and a storm of attacks followed immediately.

The middle-aged man was able to fight back at first, but later his face was beaten so badly it was almost deformed.

In the end, they could only suffer a crushing defeat and admit defeat.

This head-to-head battle was conducted with the winner continuing, so Mingxinjing will still be on the field in the next round.

"This Mind-Clearing Mirror is quite nice. Which military camp does it belong to? Why have I never heard of it before?" Lin Ye asked.

Zhao Fei: "Your Majesty, this Mirror of Enlightenment only entered my camp half a month ago."

"Half a month ago?" Lin Ye asked thoughtfully, gazing at Mingxin Jing's agile figure.

As time went by, the number of rounds of combat on the field increased.

But the person hasn't changed much; it's always Mingxinjing fighting against another person.

It remained the same until the very end.

Seeing this, Lin Ye suddenly became interested. "I'll go and meet him."

"Your Majesty, this..." Zhao Fei wasn't worried that Lin Ye would lose, but Lin Ye was, after all, of noble birth, and he had just witnessed the extremely cunning and ruthless moves used by Mingxin Jing. If he were to be injured...

Lin Ye clearly saw through Zhao Fei's concerns, so he pretended to question him, "What, you don't believe in my martial arts?"

"Your Majesty's skills are beyond question." Upon hearing this, Zhao Fei realized that Lin Ye could see things that he could see, and might even see more than him. This decision must mean that he already had a plan in mind.

"Go and get a mask."

Since it was a competition, Lin Ye didn't need his opponent to consider his status.

A moment later, Lin Ye appeared on the field with a golden mask covering his face.

When Wu Qing saw the newcomer, he initially felt that the figure was vaguely familiar, but when he saw Zhao Fei behind the newcomer, he understood immediately.

I never expected His Majesty to take action personally.

Wu Qing immediately felt a surge of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming battle.

"Mingxinjing, this is your last opponent."

After speaking, Wu Qing said no more and handed the situation over to Lin Ye completely.

When others saw someone suddenly appear out of nowhere, they couldn't help but have all sorts of guesses.

Some speculate that this person's sudden appearance must indicate an extraordinary identity, while others guess that Lin Ye is one of them, but simply hadn't shown up before for some reason...

But regardless of their speculations, they, like Wu Qing, were filled with anticipation for the upcoming battle.

They didn't know Lin Ye's skills, but Ming Xin Jing had defeated them all with every move.

Now another challenger has arrived, and they are waiting to see how Mingxinjing will defeat the "last opponent" Wu Qing mentioned.

A moment of silence fell over the scene.

Amidst the many gazes, Lin Ye spoke first, "Please."

Mingxinjing neither knew who the other person was nor cared.

All he knew was that he had to win.

After Lin Ye finished speaking, Ming Xin Jing appeared in front of Lin Ye in a flash.

He punched Lin Ye's mask. Although he didn't care who the person was, he didn't like people who "hide their heads and show their tails".

This punch from Mingxin Jing was extremely swift, a punch that seemed destined to achieve its goal.

Apart from Zhao Fei and Wu Qing, everyone else couldn't help but imagine the moment the mask shattered with that punch.
