Weapon Master C1577

Chapter 1577 – Summoning the City Lord

“Yes sir!”

Tang Huan and Fan Yuan Jia retreated at almost the same time.

However, Tang Huan’s expression was calm. He walked to a spot not far behind Li Xinghan at a moderate pace and stood there, Fan Yuan Jia had returned to Tian Xiang’s group, his brows furrowed with intense dissatisfaction. Among those hundreds of cultivators, many of them had expressions of unconcealable depression and anger.

In the past, during the Martial Arts Competition, the strongest at the peak of the second step would always be the third level, the Sky Emperor, who would become the new commander.

But this time, the first commander to appear was a newly advanced first level Heaven stage.

This caused so many peak-level first-level, second-level and third-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns in Milky Way City, how could they endure this? If this news were to spread out, how would the cultivators in the other cities look at them, the commanders of the Heavenly River City? They would definitely laugh at the fact that there was no one in Tianhe City.

Unfortunately, no one could do anything to Qiu Jian who had just made a name for himself. They could only helplessly accept the fact that he was the new commander. It was impossible to teach him a lesson in public. It was even more impossible to strip him of his title of commander, unless there was another Martial Competition.

And this, was obviously impossible.

“Seems to be true. If you defeat any of the previous commanders in the Martial Competition, you can become a new commander. You don’t have to suffer five more victories to become a commander.”

“This is probably the first time that a first level Heaven stage commander is capable of doing this, let alone in Heavenly River City, even in the entire Domain, right?”

“After the Martial Competition ends, the thirty commanders will be assigned a hand … I hope that we can be lucky, I do not wish to be assigned to this Qiu Jian. “

“…”

Around the plaza, the tens of thousands of Heavenly Lords all had different reactions. Some of them were sighing emotionally, some of them were exclaiming in surprise, some of them were shaking their heads with bitter smiles, and some of them were wailing endlessly.

“Continue with the Martial Competition!”

Li Xinghan’s emotionless voice suddenly resounded in the field.

Many of the ministers had no choice but to calm their hearts. Not long later, another one of them stepped out and stood in the center of the square, becoming the new arena master.

With the huge commotion caused by Tang Huan earlier, in the following period of time, no matter if it was the two or three hundred people in the sky, or the tens of thousands of spectators, all of them were somewhat absent-minded. In the evening, after deciding on the thirty new commanders and distributing them, the Martial Competition had hastily ended.

Under Tang Huan’s command, there were now nine new Heavenly Generals and a thousand and forty new Heavenly Lords.

“Brother Qiu Jian …. “No, Commander Qiu. From now on, we will fight side by side.”

The night was getting deeper and deeper. was newly allocated a courtyard, which was brightly lit with lights. Xiong Zhuang was beaming with joy, and he was grinning widely, excitement overflowing from his face. Although he hadn’t completely recovered from the injuries he’d suffered in the Martial Competition, on the surface, he didn’t seem to have suffered any major injuries.

“I’ll need Brother Xiong’s help in the future.”

Tang Huan cupped his hands and smiled.

Apart from Yu Rui and Xiong Zhuang, who were martial brothers and of their own free will, the rest of the nine people were unwilling. All nine of them were at the first level of the Sky Origin Stage, not a single one of them was at the second level.

It was normal for such a situation to occur.

After all, the heavens were different from the gods. In the distribution of the heavens, they would respect their own wishes to a certain extent. Therefore, when the other twenty-nine squads had all filled the quota, the remaining unlucky few could only helplessly join Tang Huan’s party.

The heavens are like this, and so is the gods.

However, they had no choice. They would choose wherever they were allocated, unless they lived until the next Martial Arts Competition to change their commander.

“Brother Qiu, don’t laugh at me.”

Xiong Zhuang blushed as his head drooped down, “With my strength, I am unable to help you.”

Tang Huan had just stepped into the first level of the Sky Realm, but he had already won against Dou Bin, Cao Yu, and Wei Anlan in a short period of time. He could be said to have made a name for himself in Milky Way City, and it wouldn’t be long before all the cultivators in the other cities in the “Domain” knew of his name.

His cultivation was higher than Tang Huan’s, his Dao crystal was higher than Tang Huan’s, but in the end, he was heavily injured by Dou Bin. To him, this was an incomparably huge blow.

“Brother Xiong, there’s no need to belittle yourself.”

Seeing Xiong Zhuang’s dejected look, Tang Huan could not help but laugh, “Your strength is not bad. The reason why you lost to Dou Bin is because you just arrived at the ‘Domain’, and are still not used to the environment here. “In another month or two, if you were to fight Dou Bin again, you will undoubtedly win.”

Xiong Zhuang’s eyes lit up, he scratched his head, and just as he was about to speak, a low voice sounded out from outside the door: “Commander Qiu Jian, the City Lord has seen you!”

“Brother Qiu, you should go quickly.” Xiong Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then said with some excitement, “Like I said, since your performance in the Martial Arts Competition today is so outstanding, the Mayor will definitely meet you and give you a reward. See, aren’t you here already?” Xiong Zhuang smiled with a proud look on his face.

“Alright then, I’ll be leaving first. Please do as you wish, Brother Xiong.”

“…”

Tang Huan smiled and left the room.

Du Yue must have wanted to meet him because of his performance on the plaza today. However, Du Yue’s motive for seeing him was definitely not as Xiong Zhuang had guessed.

Du Yue knew that he came from the “Spring Dragon’s Door”, and also knew that his purpose in coming to the “Domain” was to cultivate. In such a situation, it was natural that the more low-key and inconspicuous he was, the better. In the Martial Arts Competition, regardless of being challenged or being challenged, the best way for Tang Huan to do so was to deliberately lose one round.

At the beginning, Tang Huan had indeed held this kind of thought, even when he was severely injured and humiliated by Dou Bin, his thoughts hadn’t changed.

However, the moment Dou Bin came looking for him, Tang Huan suddenly had a different plan.

If he were to secretly leave in the future, it would definitely arouse suspicion. After he found the ‘Grandmist Celestial Elixir’ in the future, it would be rather difficult for him to return to the sect.

However, if he became a commander, it would be much easier to leave Du Yue’s line of sight.

Even if Du Yue didn’t want to send him out, he had no choice. If the other twenty-nine squads took turns carrying out missions, and only one of them remained on guard in the city, it would definitely arouse the displeasure of the other cultivators in the city.

If he left the Heavenly River City, he would definitely be able to find a better opportunity to enter the ‘Domain’.

When he could fulfill his wish and enter into the eyes of Du Yue and the rest again, Tang Huan could easily find an excuse to get away with it. With such an even better method, why wouldn’t Tang Huan be happy? Furthermore, it wasn’t his style to endure humiliation while being stepped on.

Thus, Dou Bin, Cao Yu, and Wei Anlan became his stepping stones.
