194: C194 Drumming

C194 Drumming

The military gradually arrived at the drill ground. They lined up neatly without any disorder. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of footsteps and the floating armor on the drill ground.

Lin Feng's gaze turned towards the soldiers in the drill grounds, and his heart trembled slightly.

Endless amounts of soldiers were grouped into three great factions, forming a giant phalanx. The sun shone down on the three colored armor, reflecting a dazzling light that pierced one's eyes.

Three Armored Soldiers. Bronze-Armored Soldiers, Silver-Armored Soldiers, Gold-Armored Soldiers.

The golden armored warriors were placed at the very front, while the bronze armored warriors were ranked at the very back. It was obvious at a glance just how high their ranks were.

On the other hand, the general armor that Duan Tianlang was wearing was jet black, it was extremely terrifying, and filled with a biting cold, making people fear him.

"Sha, sha, sha!"

Footsteps sounded out as a row of bronze-armored warriors lifted up their battle drums, walking towards the soldiers. This drum was as tall and heavy as a man, and only the four of them could lift it.

BOOM!

A heavy sound rang out as the bronze armored warrior raised his battle drum, placing it in front of the soldiers. Behind him, another group of bronze armored soldiers lifted up their battle drums before landing on the ground.

There were five rows of nine-sided battle drums. From the front to the back, they were like five straight lines, each of which had nine sides.

"What is this?"

Lin Feng's gaze turned serious, he did not know why the bronze-armored warriors had brought out the battle drum, but many of them remained indifferent, as if they were used to such situations. Their eyes shone with excitement, eager to give it a try.

Also, I have another piece of news to announce, for this time's expedition, Heavenly Wolf King will be led by my elder sister Duan Xinye, and will be led by her sister Duan Xinye as the vice commander-in-chief. Today, she will also come, and will accompany the rest of the people to the battlefield, and today, the more battle drums the more talented people have, the more they will be in charge of protecting Xinye.

Duan Wuya said indifferently, following that, a beautiful figure walked out from behind the curtain. Even though she was wearing an armor, it was still unable to cover her face, and was Princess Duan Xinye.

Everyone's eyes congealed, Princess Duan Xinye was the assistant marshal? Why is that?

However, regardless of the reason, excitement could be seen in the eyes of the young geniuses. Whoever sounded the most drums would become the personal bodyguard of the princess. Such an opportunity to approach her was simply too rare.

Lin Feng's eyes flickered. Duan Tianlang was the commander?

Lin Feng was confused now. What was the relationship between Duan Wuya and Duan Tianlang? Also, what did he mean by making Duan Xinye to be vice commander-in-chief?

"Which five people will go first?"

Duan Tianlang shouted, and instantly, someone's figure flashed, and directly arrived in front of the battle drum, saying, "I'm willing to go first."

In just an instant, there were already people standing in front of the five drums.

The bodies of the five of them moved at the same time. A powerful aura burst forth from their bodies; it was extremely cold.

Boom!

The fist of a person slammed onto the battle drum, the battle drum reverberated in the air. However, the drum didn't budge an inch, and there was even a hint of rebound, causing him to slightly retreat as he groaned in pain.

Instantly, this person's face became extremely unsightly, with his head lowered, he quietly returned to his seat. Unexpectedly, he didn't even sound the battle drum.

The eyes of the second person sank as an extra sense of seriousness appeared within him. Kuang Ba punched out with his fist, accompanied by a booming sound, causing the battle drum to explode. That person's eyes also revealed a hint of excitement as he punched out with his fist without any hesitation.

A battle drum wasn't something that could simply be sounded, but rather something that would cause the battle drum to explode. Only the buzzing sound of the battle drum could stimulate the morale of the troops.

A battle drum was also known as a general. Only officers with a certain status were qualified to hit the drum. This was also when a soldier established their prestige. The more battle drums they sounded, the more reverence they would garner for their soldiers.

However, when this person rang the third war drum, he did not shatter the battle drum, and his face couldn't help but reveal a moment of dejection.

After that, the third person rang out three times, the fourth person rang out two times, and the fifth person only rang out three times.

When they returned to their seats, the bronze-armored warriors immediately went out to fill up the drums. There were a total of five rows of nine-sided battle drums.

Lin Feng's eyes were flickering as he stared at the battle drum. He discovered that the battle drum seemed to have some rules, and generally speaking, people with Second Level of Spiritual Martial Stage could sound two or three battle drums. The nine battle drums seemed to correspond to the ninth level of the Spirit realm.

Of course, this was not absolute. For example, a person at the Third Level of Spiritual Martial Stage level just now had only sounded two battle drums, and the first person, who was at the First Level of Spiritual Martial Stage level, had not even rung a battle drum.

"Who's next?"

Duan Wuya said again as he looked at the crowd with a faint smile.

"I'll go." Yuan Shan stood up and walked towards the battle drum.

"Big Brother Yuan, I'll go with you." Duan Feng stepped forward, following behind Yuan Shan.

In just a short moment, five people had gathered in front of the war drums.

Another set of drums sounded. Amongst the five of them, the most powerful one was Fourth Level of Spiritual Martial Stage. After the fourth set of drums rang, that person also left with a smile.

Yuan Shan, with Third Level of Spiritual Martial Stage strength, had beaten three battle drums, and Duan Feng, with Second Level of Spiritual Martial Stage cultivation level, but what was shocking was that he had also beat three battle drums, causing many people to look at him in a different light.

The crowd changed many times, but there wasn't a single person who could sound a five sided battle drum.

At this moment, a figure stood up and said to the crowd in Tianyi Academy, "I am the butcher of the Sacred Courtyard. Who is willing to compete in Tianyi Academy?"

"Butcher!"

Lin Feng looked at the burly man in front of him, his gaze focused. In the past, the butcher was the same as him, a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect.

The eyes of the people from Tianyi Academy and Snow Moon Holy Academy all flickered with a bright light.

"Tianyi Academy, are they all cowards?"

Seeing that no one from the Tianyi Academy responded, the butcher could not help but sneer.

"Shameless traitors, how dare you speak bravely?"

Lin Feng said coldly, causing the butcher's gaze to congeal, after that his eyes landed on Lin Feng's body.

"The victor will suffer and the loser will perish. The strong will eat the weak, the Martial Dao's laws and the Heavenly Wolf King's Cloud Sea Sect will be destroyed because of the weak Cloud Sea Sect. Of course I have to follow the trend. This is called being sensible and being a hero."

The butcher shouted coldly, he stared at Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, if you are willing to join Snow Moon, I will plead with Heavenly Wolf King for mercy, maybe, Your Highness will be willing to accept you in."

"A traitor can still be so righteous." Lin Feng looked at the butcher, his tone cold, before turning his gaze onto the man carrying the Bronze Mask: "Go."

"Alright." The Bronze Mask man nodded and stepped forward. He looked at the butcher indifferently and said: "Let me."

After which, he walked straight towards the battle drum.

The butcher's eyes darkened as he strode towards the battle drum and asked, "Who wants to go first?"

"You go first." The Bronze Mask spoke indifferently. The butcher slightly nodded as he arched his back and took a step forward.

Boom!

A loud explosion shook the eardrums of the crowd, and the first drum was shattered into pieces.

The actions of the butcher didn't stop. The tyrannical fist slammed forward, the second and third drums instantly ruptured, and the sound of explosions shook the entire area.

"Haaargh!"1

The butcher used up all his energy in a single breath, then with a loud roar, he threw out another punch and shattered the fourth war drum.

"Crack."

The butcher stomped on the ground violently as he threw out both of his fists. That fifth battle drum, which no one dared to shake, was shattered once again.

Then, the butcher seemed to still have some energy left in him. With a slight twist of his feet, his body was sent spinning backwards, crashing towards the sixth battle drum.

"Weng, weng!"

The battle drum shook nonstop and a wave of spatial ripples appeared. The powerful rebound forced the butcher's body back a hundred meters. However, the battle drum also had cracks on it.

"Fifth Level of Spiritual Martial Stage cultivation, almost beating the sixth war drum, as expected of the former genius of Cloud Sea Sect. What a pity, he's a traitor."

Lin Feng looked at the cracked war drum and muttered, but he did not pay attention to it. Now, Fifth Level of Spiritual Martial Stage cultivation, in his eyes, was nothing.
