"Isn't it a bit bullying for Alliance Leader Gao to challenge Commander Zhou?"

"Although we are all martial arts scholars, Alliance Leader Gao has already broken through the barrier four times, while Commander Zhou is probably still far behind."

"It's understandable that Alliance Leader Gao is dissatisfied, as the city guard commander who has broken through the barrier three times is indeed difficult to convince the people."

The crowd whispered among themselves, some expressing sympathy, but most of them gloating.

The fact that a martial arts scholar from a family of artisans, whose skills had only broken through the gates three times, became the commander of the city guards had long aroused the jealousy of many people.

They couldn't be happier to see Zhou Yuan embarrass himself.

Dong Hailou continued drinking his wine as if he hadn't heard anything.

Gao Liang stared intently at Zhou Yuan, even beckoning him with his finger.

"never mind."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand, "Alliance Leader Gao is very powerful, and I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as him."

There's no need for a competition; I concede.

-

As soon as Zhou Yuan said this, a chorus of sighs erupted from the audience.

This is just a friendly sparring match; even if I lose, my life won't be in danger.

Moreover, Zhou Yuan only broke through the barrier three times, so it's not shameful for him to lose to Gao Liang, who broke through four times.

But Zhou Yuan didn't even dare to go on stage; he really is someone who can't be brought to the table.

If you don't even have the courage to fight, what's the point of practicing martial arts? You might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!

"I heard he passed the test three times before, and I thought he was someone important, but it turns out he's a coward."

"Is it strange? He only passed the martial arts exam by relying on a woman. He was able to pass the test three times because he climbed up to Elder Luo. This person is used to taking shortcuts. He doesn't have any real skills."

"The truth has been revealed—"

The speed at which these people changed their tune was astonishing. Just a few days ago, they were praising Zhou Yuan to the extreme, but now they were full of sarcasm, spewing out all sorts of hurtful words, without caring whether Zhou Yuan could hear them or not.

With the new county magistrate in office, it was clear he wanted to establish his authority by targeting Zhou Yuan, and everyone tacitly chose to take sides.

Although Cheng Hengjiang and Zhang Jun did not make any sarcastic remarks about Zhou Yuan, they could only remain silent and dared not speak up for him.

"If the city guards are all cowards, how can they defend the city and suppress riots?"

Gao Liang said coldly, "If you don't even have the courage to spar with me, who can believe you can protect the people of this city if Gaoshan County is threatened in the future?"

His eyes were sharp and aggressive.

"If you don't have the ability, you might as well step down and hand over the position to someone more capable."

"presumptuous!"

Dong Hailou retorted angrily, "The commander of the city guards is a government official; how can you dismiss him just like that?"

Gao Liang kept quiet, but his neck was stiff and his face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Commander Zhou, please don't take offense. My junior brother is straightforward by nature and doesn't know how to speak properly."

Dong Hailou turned to Zhou Yuan.

"It's alright."

Zhou Yuan said calmly.

"Am I wrong? If he doesn't even dare to spar, wouldn't he run away faster than anyone else in a life-or-death struggle? If the city guards are all such useless people, then we might as well hand over the city defense to our Martial Alliance."

Gao Liang sneered.

"Who says the city guards are all cowards? If you want to fight, I'll fight you!"

Suddenly, a voice came from below the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a burly young man strode out.

"Gundam, what's wrong with you? Get down here!"

Zhang Jun's expression changed drastically, and he quickly reprimanded him.

As if he hadn't heard his master's words, Gao Da stared intently at Gao Liang.

"Deputy Commander Gao Da of the City Guard, please enlighten me, Alliance Leader Gao!"

He cupped his hands and shouted.

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly. Gao Da had come to the banquet with his master today, but Gao Da was a junior and did not have the right to sit down. He had been waiting in the hall with the other young people.

He didn't expect that Gao Da would take the initiative to stand up in the face of Gao Liang's mockery.

But then he realized it.

Although Gao Da is lazy, he is quite proud at heart. Most of the current city guards were trained by him.

Gao Liang's words insulted the entire city guard, which Gao Da, with his pride and arrogance, could not tolerate.

"Ha ha."

Gao Liang sneered, "At least you have an egg, so I'll give you some pointers!"

Zhang Jun looked anxious and tried to stop him, but Dong Hailou silenced him with a look.

Although Gao Da was furious, he knew that his strength was vastly different from Gao Liang's, so he took the initiative to attack.

He lowered his center of gravity, his spine swung violently, his hair stood on end, and with a sudden burst of strength, he pounced on the attack like a hungry wolf hunting its prey.

Gao Liang sneered and blocked with his arm, causing the muscles on his arm to explode.

"Not bad strength."

He spoke with disdain, his arm flexing around Gundam's arm as if it were boneless.

Gao Da gritted his teeth and delivered a clean and swift punch to Gao Liang's face.

If Gao Liang continues to attack his chest, he will definitely be hit in the face. Although he may not be injured, being hit in the face by a martial artist who has broken through three times would be a huge loss of face.

With a cold snort, Zhou Liang took a step, moved to the side of Gao Da, bent his knees, slightly arched his body, rubbed his palms into the shape of a snake's head, and bit at Gao Da's waist.

Fast, ruthless, and swift.

Gao Liang's martial art is called the Serpent Fist, which is insidious and vicious. If this strike succeeds, Gao Da's kidneys will be shattered by the force.

Gao Da was, after all, a famous genius in Gaoshan County. Although his level was not as high as Gao Liang's, he had mastered the Five Thunder Palm technique to perfection.

In the critical moment, he lunged forward, rolled on the spot, and then did a somersault backward.

Although he looked disheveled, he managed to break through Gao Liang's fatal attack.

Gao Liang snorted coldly, and the blue brick under his feet shattered with a crack.

He pursued forward with an elusive and unpredictable movement, like a venomous snake slithering through the weeds.

Gao Da roared, his arms bulging with muscles, and with a wave of his hands, he stirred up a gust of wind that sounded like thunder.

He brought out the essence of the Five Thunder Palm to its fullest extent.

If it were in a different setting, someone would probably have already come forward to congratulate Zhang Jun on having a worthy successor.

But now, there was no joy on Zhang Jun's face; instead, there was deep worry.

Gao Da has exceptional talent, and his Five Thunder Palm technique surpasses even his master's. However, he is still young and has only broken through the barrier three times.

The gap in strength cannot be bridged by boxing techniques alone.

Moreover, Gao Liang's boxing skills have also reached a level of perfection.

To be honest, Gao Liang comes from the Beast Taming Sect. Although the Beast Taming Sect is not famous for its fist and foot techniques, the fist and martial arts passed down in major sects are certainly no weaker than the Five Thunder Palm.

No sooner said than done.

Gao Liang swayed his body, changing positions several times in succession, making Gao Da dizzy and disoriented.

Just then, Gao Liang's arm, like the white snake Ye Xin, swiftly struck Gao Da's left rib.

This punch is the essence of the Serpent Fist, containing the immense power of Gao Liang's four breakthroughs. Wherever the fist passes, the air emits a piercing explosion.

A visible white wave of air rolled in.

Gundam only had time to cross his arms to block.

Click!

With the sound of bones breaking, Gundam was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

Gao Liang followed closely, his hands like venomous snakes, slashing ruthlessly at Gao Da's shoulders.

If this move, Silver Serpent Probing the Sea, were to land, it could instantly snap Gao Da's shoulder blade along with his tendons.

With his arm broken and all his strength exhausted, Gundam had no strength left to resist.

At the critical moment.

Suddenly a dark shadow flashed and blocked Gao Da's path.

boom!

With a swing of his arm like a hammer, he accurately struck Gao Liang's snake head.

With a muffled thud, the two men simultaneously took a step back and stood still.

Gao Liang's pupils suddenly contracted.

"It's you?!"

He stared intently at the figure blocking Gao Da's path, his eyes filled with hatred.

Zhou Yuan was a little puzzled. This was the first time he had met Gao Liang, so why did the other party seem to have a deep-seated hatred for him?

Although he was the commander of the city guards, he had no intention of blocking their way.

"Leader Gao, the battle is over. We've lost. There's no need for us to resort to violence anymore, is there?"

Zhou Yuan suppressed his doubts and said in a deep voice.

"He lost, but you haven't. Take another one!"

Gao Liang shouted, his body slightly bent, his waist twisting gently from side to side like a long snake, and he slid forward like a snake lying in the grass.

At the same time, two fingers, one in front and one behind, shot out like two white snakes spitting their tongues, aiming straight for Zhou Yuan's eyes and throat.

The combination of feint and real attacks almost completely blocked all of Zhou Yuan's evasive angles.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Previously, Gao Liang had only been sparring and had been holding back, but now, facing Zhou Yuan, he immediately used his killing move.

A strong gust of wind rushed towards him, and Zhou Yuan's pupils contracted sharply.

He sighed inwardly, his fighting spirit surging instantly, and his expression turned fierce.

Faced with this murderous attack, Zhou Yuan's blood and qi surged, and he swung his arm out in a fierce sweep.

boom!

As the hammers collided, Gao Liang's arm was deflected several inches by the force of the hammer blow, grazing past Zhou Yuan's ear.

Zhou Yuan took a step forward and his shoulder slammed into Gao Liang's chest.

Gao Liang swung his hand to brace himself, his palm colliding with Zhou Yuan's shoulder.

A dull thud of flesh colliding was heard, and the force was released.

Gao Liang took a step back, and Zhou Yuan was pushed backward by the immense force.

He slid for a full ten feet before regaining his balance, leaving two clear skid marks on the ground.

"Alliance Leader Gao's skills are truly impressive; I am far inferior to you. I have learned my lesson."

Zhou Yuan straightened up, cupped his hands, and said, "You won."

After saying that, he helped Gao Da walk outside.

"Please forgive me, Lord Dong, my brother is injured. I will take him to receive treatment. I will take my leave now."

The sound came from afar, and Zhou Yuan had already helped Gao Da out of the county government office, not giving Dong Hailou a chance to stop him.

Gao Liang stood there, his brows furrowed, his expression grim and uncertain.

Congratulations, Alliance Leader Gao.

"Alliance Leader Gao's strength is extraordinary; apart from the County Magistrate, no one in Gaoshan County can match him."

"Chief Gao has won a great victory; let us drink a toast to him."

Everyone offered their congratulations and best wishes.

A gentle breeze blew by, and a piece of Gao Liang's right-side clothing was suddenly blown off, scattering into a shower of fragments that danced in the wind like butterflies.

Everyone's gaze instinctively fell on Gao Liang's right side, where they saw a hole in his clothes, about the size of a palm, as if someone had cut a handprint into it.

The entire room fell silent.

It's easy to shatter clothes with a palm strike, but to leave a palm print on clothes without harming other parts requires a masterful control of power.

It is only possible to reach the Blood Transformation Realm without breaking through four levels.

Of the three who just fought Gao Liang, Chen Huojia had broken through the barrier four times, but he couldn't possibly be showing off his skills like that.

Gundam only cleared the game three times, clearly no match for Kora.

That leaves only Zhou Yuan, the commander of the city guards.

That down-on-his-luck guy who only managed to become the commander of the city guards by sheer luck in their eyes?

"Breaking through the barrier four times, I never imagined that our Commander Zhou was hiding his true strength so well."

Dong Hailou spoke in a chilling tone, the flickering candlelight making his expression appear sinister and ghostly.
