NOVEL NEXT Chapter 316: Defeating Yang Suxin
The other Great Generals in the army quickly intervened to intercept Yang Suxin's ultimate skill.
There was a loud bang, and a storm of Magic Power erupted on the parade ground.
Under the joint suppression of the three army Great Generals, the raging storm was quickly quelled and returned to calm.
After resolving this matter, everyone's gazes directed at Lu Hong were filled with hostility.
Yang Suxin was particularly furious, gritting her teeth. Had the other Great Generals not acted in time, the Yang family army would have suffered unimaginable losses from just that one blow.
"Shameless!" Yang Suxin cursed angrily at Lu Hong.
"Hey, hey, don't accuse me without evidence. I never said I would endure your attack head-on."
Upon hearing this, Yang Suxin was momentarily speechless. If Lu Hong hadn't acted as if he was determined to resist, she wouldn't have kept her lock on him, causing her skill to lose its tracking ability.
"It was your own misjudgment; someone as reckless as you, I really don't understand how you became a Great General." Lu Hong shrugged and smiled, "Do you want to continue?"
Yang Suxin's response to Lu Hong was a single word: "Kill!"
Seeing Yang Suxin charging forward, Lu Hong decided not to toy with her any longer, considering she was someone that old Wu favored. He had to show some respect.
The Earth Element Power surged crazily within Lu Hong's body, and a disturbing fluctuation of Magic Power gathered on his raised fist.
In the next second, his fist struck the ground.
"Earth Impact!"
This was the strongest attack skill of the warrior Third-Transformation Grand Marshal class.
As the Earth Element entered the ground.
The trembling earth caused the area within a thousand meters to shake, and the sturdy ground of the parade ground instantly turned into an ocean of Earth Element.
Yang Suxin also knew she couldn't step into it, so she stepped through the air, treading on the Magic Power she summoned to approach Lu Hong.
Just when she was three meters away from Lu Hong, a massive earth dragon burst out from beneath the earth element ocean.
It slammed fiercely into Yang Suxin from the side.
Yang Suxin responded quickly, using Magic Power to construct a defense.
In the next second, a silver-white projectile shot through the parade ground, flying for ten thousand meters and smashing through rows of majestic buildings.
This time, even Yang Lin couldn't sit still. He abruptly stood up, his gaze at Lu Hong filled with uncertainty.
Lu Hong pointed at the collapsed buildings in the distance and asked Yang Lin, "I shouldn't have to compensate for that, right?"
"Good, very good." Yang Lin couldn't care less about these trivial matters; he was extremely satisfied with Lu Hong's strength: "From today onwards, you will serve as the Left Front Spiritual Guardian of my Yang family army, taking the position of Deputy General of the Yang family Spiritual Guardian army."
"Can I refuse?"
"No." Yang Lin waved his hand: "Cancel the morning training today!"
After saying this, he turned and left, not giving Lu Hong a chance to say more.
As the crowds dispersed, Tian Shengwu approached Lu Hong and said, "Brother Lu, aren't you playing a bit too big?"
"Big? This is my lowest-level class." Lu Hong glanced at Tian Shengwu: "Who knew that Yang Suxin was so weak?"
"It's not her weakness." Tian Shengwu smiled wryly, "It's your strength that's overwhelming."
Lu Hong himself had good talent and aptitude; after obtaining the Earth Element Heart, he started training intensively with the Great War Master and Steel Guardian classes every spare moment.
Especially the Steel Guardian class, under the assistance of the Earth Element Heart, his progress was rapid. Each time he absorbed earth-type elements, it was Divine Grade refined bit by bit by the Earth Realm Celestial Gods. Although he had just advanced to Third-Transition Second Level, the quality of earth-type elements this high was enough to crush all Third-Transition prodigies.
After some time, Yang Suxin slowly woke up, "Where am I...?"
Just as Yang Suxin tried to sit up, the intense pain throughout her body caused her to collapse back onto the bed.
"Sister Suxin, don't move, just rest." At that moment, Yang Xiuxiu popped her little head out, comforting her: "Sister Suxin, the doctor said you're fine, it's just bone fractures all over your body. A few days of rest and you'll be okay."
"My whole body has fractured bones? I remember I was fighting that Lu Hong guy, wasn't I?"
Apparently, that collision had left Yang Suxin disconnected, and she couldn't remember what happened afterward.
Yang Lin then received the news and entered the room, asking with concern, "Are you okay, Suxin?"
"I should be okay." Yang Suxin looked at Yang Lin and asked, "I remember I was aiming a shot at Lu Hong, what happened afterward?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Lin opened his palm, and a recording crystal started playing the scene from that time.
As the dragon flipped and collided, Yang Suxin was stunned, realizing she had been injured in just such a way.
"Haha, Sister Suxin, aren't the people I recruited impressive?"
Although she had already seen that powerful blow, Yang Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel happy watching it again.
Seeing Yang Xiuxiu's bragging attitude, Yang Suxin didn't know what to say, "Xiuxiu, we've been sisters for so many years, don't you have any sympathy for me?"
"Of course I do, Sister Suxin, but the doctor said you're fine, so I'm not worried, hehe!"
Yang Lin then interjected from the side, "Suxin, just rest quietly for these days. I've arranged other duties for Lu Hong; you don't need to worry. Once you're healed, I remember there's someone named Wu Sheng you haven't tested yet. Find a day, and probe his strength yourself."
"Understood, godfather."
After instructing Yang Suxin, Yang Lin turned his gaze to Yang Xiuxiu and said, "Stay away from that Lu Hong in the future, don't get too close to him."
"Why?!" Yang Xiuxiu asked with dissatisfaction and anger.
"Because that boy certainly has nefarious intentions!" Yang Lin said solemnly, "Do you think a mere Scavenger could have such strength? How much resources and effort did Suxin invest to reach this point? Scavengers roam ancient paths with insufficient Spiritual Energy, and slow cultivation, plus they have to compete and fight for their resources. At such a young age, who would believe there's no force backing him?"
"I believe!" Yang Xiuxiu said firmly, "I've heard Brother Lu's story; he walked through countless battles, always kind to others, surviving the brink of death dozens of times. Who are you to question his achievements today?!"
Facing Yang Xiuxiu's angry retort, Yang Lin felt the sensation of blood rushing upward again; for an outsider, the daughter he had raised for eighteen years was actually defying him?
"You... you get out!" Only this precious daughter could make Yang Lin lose his mind. He shouted loudly, "Someone! Take the lady away and lock her in her room. Without my orders, no one is allowed to let her out!"
"As you command!"
Two guards promptly entered the room and lifted the struggling Yang Xiuxiu.
"Let go... let go of me... how dare you... how dare you..."
Watching Yang Xiuxiu being dragged away, Yang Lin slumped into his chair, drinking three large bowls of tea to barely calm down.
At this moment, Yang Suxin spoke, "Godfather, Xiuxiu didn't mean to defy you."
"She actually defied me to defend an outsider she barely knew for less than half a month?"
"Xiuxiu has probably been deceived by that sly guy."
"She actually defied me to defend an outsider she barely knew for less than half a month?"
"Godfather, I'm thirsty..."
"She actually defied me to defend an outsider she barely knew for less than half a month?"
Yang Suxin was speechless, realizing Yang Lin hadn't listened to a single word.
Seeing Yang Suxin fall silent, Yang Lin moved closer again, "She actually defied me to defend an outsider she barely knew for less than half a month?"
Yang Suxin rolled her eyes, thinking that her godfather had become obsessed.
But it's undeniable that Yang Xiuxiu had always been sheltered by Yang Lin and rarely went out, making her exceptionally naive. Considering how Lu Hong had easily dodged instead of defending, it was evident that he was sly and untrustworthy. Clearly, Xiuxiu must have been deceived by this person's sweet words.
With this thought, Yang Suxin silently vowed in her heart that she would definitely make Xiuxiu see this person's true nature, and she, Yang Suxin, would eventually expose this person's malicious intentions in entering the Yang family!
But as of now... might as well make use of him first to help the Yang family take over the ruling power.
If Yang Lin ascended to the position of King of Lin'an, Yang Suxin's status would naturally rise, allowing her to snatch more resources for her fading family branch.
