His entire family perished in battle; he rose from the ashes to conquer the world.

"General, if you can train the elite of the elite in ten days and defeat my Tiger-Haired Army, you may use my head as a chamber pot or a football—it's entirely up to you!"

Seeing that Mu Yuan had taken the initiative to make a bet, Sun Yang also put aside the difference in rank and immediately responded, even pointing to his own head as he did so.

The bet between the two.

To everyone's surprise.

They only knew that Sun Yang was a serious person, but they didn't expect that Mu Yuan was just as serious.

In an instant.

Everyone sighed inwardly, unsure of what to say.

After Yang Daye and his group left, Qin Hongxiu could no longer contain herself, her tone full of reproach:

"Are you crazy?"

"Why do you say that?" Mu Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Sun Yang commands five thousand Tiger Warriors, each one incredibly brave and skilled. You actually challenge him to a duel?"

There were many people around earlier, so Qin Hongxiu didn't dare to speak up, lest it damage Mu Yuan's dignity. But now that it was just her and Mu Yuan left, she had no choice but to voice her displeasure.

In Qin Hongxiu's opinion, Mu Yuan was still not mature enough.

He acts somewhat recklessly.

Even if Mu Yuan possessed extraordinary abilities, he was able to train the elite of the elite in just ten days.

It also cannot be compared to the five thousand Tiger Flower Army under Sun Yang's command.

Little did they know, Mu Yuan had no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation. The elite troops he had built were responsible for surprise attacks and stealth, aiming to assassinate enemy leaders and achieve decapitation strikes.

Sensing the reproach in Qin Hongxiu's words, Mu Yuan didn't intend to explain.

The matter was accomplished in secrecy.

Only results can't lie.

Now whatever he says should change Qin Hongxiu's prejudice.

We'll have to wait until ten days later.

Everything will then be settled naturally.

into the night.

The various military commanders, led by Yang Daye, sent qualified personnel to Mu Yuan.

Lin Xueshang, the sixth sister-in-law, was also brought to the military camp by Qin Hongxiu.

A night breeze stirred.

Countless torches were lit all around.

On the training ground.

Mu Yuan's gaze swept over the soldiers present.

"I presume your commander has informed you of the situation. For the next ten days, I will personally train you!"

Having said that, Mu Yuan pointed at Lin Xueshang again: "Of course, there's her too."

"General, who is this woman?"

"Look at her skinny arms and legs, can she really do it?"

The soldiers began to question Lin Xueshang's abilities.

The Western Army was known for its proud and fierce soldiers, and these men were all the best under their respective commanders.

Naturally, he was even more arrogant than ordinary proud soldiers.

Mu Yuan knew that if he wanted to subdue these people, he had to let his strength speak for itself.

He turned to look at Lin Xueshang.

"Sixth Sister-in-law".

Lin Xueshang understood the meaning behind the phrase "Sixth Sister-in-law" immediately.

She took a step forward, her pretty face revealing an expression as cold as ice.

His cold, sharp gaze swept over them, and he said in a chilling voice:

"Anyone who disagrees may step forward!"

As soon as these words were spoken, six or seven people stood up from the crowd, each with a face full of dissatisfaction.

However, the next moment.

Lin Xueshang suddenly held several silver needles in her hand.

My arm jerked.

The silver needles transformed into several streaks of silver light and shot out.

The six or seven people who stepped forward instantly collapsed to the ground, falling silent.

In the blink of an eye, he took down six or seven people.

This scene.

This completely stunned everyone else present.

"Is there anyone else who disagrees?" Lin Xueshang asked coldly, her gaze sweeping across the entire room once more.

This time, the scene was completely silent.

Seeing everything, Mu Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

These selected soldiers were all extremely arrogant, and ordinary people were simply not worthy of their attention.

Now, let's use Lin Xueshang to give them a taste of their own medicine.

This can serve as a deterrent.

This will make it easier for them to follow my orders in everything I do.

"Since no one has any further objections, then for the next ten days, I and Lady Lin will train you."

After announcing these things, Mu Yuan turned to look at Lin Xueshang.

The latter quickly stepped forward and pulled the silver needles from the six or seven people.

The people who had collapsed and fallen silent soon woke up one after another.

Of course, after waking up.

The group had lost their previous arrogance.

Mu Yuan's previous composure vanished, replaced by a stern expression.

"Let me make this clear from the start: the training over these ten days will be extremely difficult. There will be injuries and fatalities, and there will be assessment standards. Those who fail will be dismissed. You can still withdraw now."

He wanted to explain the potential dangers before training.

This will eliminate some timid people.

"General, we are ready. We are at your command and will fight without fear of death!"

Not a single person withdrew out of fear of injury or death; instead, everyone was full of fighting spirit and ready to face the high-intensity training ahead.

Mu Yuan nodded in satisfaction and looked at Lin Xueshang:

"Sixth Sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble."

Lin Xueshang had already learned the whole story from Qin Hongxiu before she arrived.

As a daughter-in-law of the Mu family, she naturally couldn't sit idly by when the Mu family was facing a life-or-death crisis.

Even though they had many questions about Mu Yuan's behavior.

She still chose to believe unconditionally.

After all, during Mu Yuan's stay in the military camp these past few days, she had learned some things from Qin Hongxiu.

"I have been entrusted by Commander Mu to train you. So, I will teach you a little bit of my martial arts. How much you can learn depends on your own destiny."

Lin Xueshang's tone remained cold and unapproachable.

"We will definitely do our best."

The crowd, already impressed by Lin Xueshang's skill with flying needles and hidden weapons, responded enthusiastically.

Mu Yuan walked to the side and quietly watched Lin Xueshang explain the techniques of throwing needles and hidden weapons to the soldiers present.

Right now, let these people learn how to use concealed weapons, and then he will teach them tactics.

time flies.

It was soon midnight.

After Lin Xueshang's explanation and her personal demonstration of the flying needle hidden weapon, some of the selected people, who were particularly gifted, had already mastered the techniques.

What's even more surprising is...

One or two people were able to hit their targets accurately and quickly on their first attempt at using flying needles.

However, Mu Yuan was somewhat disappointed.

After all, the selected men numbered over a hundred, each one incredibly brave.

It can catch his eye.

But there are very few.

"Looks like we'll have to clear out half the staff tonight."

Mu Yuan saw all this and already knew the outcome in his heart.

The elite of the elite.

It's not that easy to build.

That night.

Up to half of them were ruthlessly dismissed by Mu Yuan and returned to their respective military camps.

Those who stayed behind.

Over the next nine days.

Not only do they face high-intensity training, but they also need to master various skills, and only qualified individuals can receive the tactics taught by Mu Yuan.

The crowd dispersed.

Mu Yuan led Lin Xueshang to the barracks where Qin Hongxiu lived.

"Sixth Sister-in-law, the military camp is simple, so please make do with your eldest sister-in-law squeezing in." Mu Yuan said with a slight smile.

"You're exaggerating," Lin Xueshang said coldly.

Before marrying into the Mu family, she wandered the world as a wandering knight-errant, and the places she lived were far worse than this.

"She's really aloof."

Mu Yuan shook his head secretly.

Just as he had settled Lin Xueshang in and was preparing to leave.

"Report!!!"

An anxious voice came from outside the barracks.
