Soul Emperor Martial God

Following Deputy Commander Lin, they arrived at the Martial Arts Room.

Here, dozens of people had already been waiting.

They were ones who had gone through multilevel screening to confirm their identities without issue.

And had passed various tests that proved their strength, qualifying them to serve as Flame Martial Guards.

The appearance of Xiao Yi and Deputy Commander Lin instantly drew their attention.

"Hey, who's that with Deputy Commander Lin? He looks quite young."

"I didn't see him during the assessment."

"He's probably a young master from some major power."

"He came in directly through connections with the Commandery Prince."

Several people discussed quietly among themselves.

However, they couldn't deceive the ears of Xiao Yi and Deputy Commander Lin.

Xiao Yi said nothing.

Deputy Commander Lin did the same.

The Flame Martial Guards were known for resolving matters through force.

Other titles had no relevance here.

"Cough, cough." Deputy Commander Lin coughed twice.

The room fell silent.

Deputy Commander Lin said in a deep voice, "You all are newly joined Flame Martial Guards."

"You haven't carried out any missions yet."

"Today, we will select four squad captains from among you."

"After that, you will be eligible to undertake missions."

"Deputy Commander Lin, how can one become a squad captain?" the people asked eagerly.

"It's simple," Deputy Commander Lin replied, "The position goes to the strongest."

"Oh? That sounds easy." A few martial artists immediately stepped forward.

"I'll be a squad captain, any objections?" they declared.

"I disagree." Suddenly, a chorus of dissent rose, and everyone seemed eager to prove themselves.

"If anyone disagrees, they can compete with each other," Deputy Commander Lin announced.

In the Flame Martial Guards, orders were followed without question.

The squad captain had to earn the complete respect and obedience of their subordinates.

His commands had to be executed without question.

Disarray and infighting during missions were unacceptable, low-level mistakes.

"Move aside," bellowed a burly man wielding an axe, as he leaped forward.

The Martial Arts Room was neither particularly large nor small.

It was a place where the trading company stored weapons.

In the center was a Martial Arts Arena.

It was adequate for everyone to have their contests.

"Ah? Heavy Axe Zhang Cheng," many murmured with a look of apprehension.

At one side, Xiao Yi sensed briefly.

This bulky man had a Mystic Breakthrough Eighth Layer cultivation.

Among these new Flame Martial Guards, he ranked quite highly.

"You weaklings, get down," Zhang Cheng swung his axe effortlessly, knocking down the few who had first come forward.

"I'll be the squad captain, any objections?" Zhang Cheng's rough voice echoed through the room.

The crowd below, each showing a look of apprehension, swallowed hard, none daring to speak further.

Zhang Cheng was massively built.

His explosive muscles provided a strong impact.

The giant axe in his hand was particularly intimidating.

"Hmph," Zhang Cheng sneered.

Just then, a sharp cry rang out.

"I'll have a word with you, mister."

A graceful figure leapt onto the Martial Arts Arena.

"Ah? Tang Huowu, Second Miss of the Tang Family."

"Zhang Cheng's in trouble now."

The crowd obviously recognized the woman, gleefully watching Zhang Cheng's reaction.

"Tang Huowu," Zhang Cheng frowned.

"Don't think I won't dare to hurt you just because you're a treasure of the Tang Family."

"In the Flame Martial Guards, such things carry no weight."

"If you know what's good for you, get down on your own."

"Otherwise, if you're hurt, don't blame me for lacking chivalry."

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng's gaze lingered inappropriately on Tang Huowu.

It goes without saying that Tang Huowu was beautiful.

What caught the eye most was her fiery figure.

Beneath her tight red outfit, her fair skin blushed faintly.

The short top and shorts revealed her slender white legs and fresh, jade-like arms.

This made one's thoughts wander.

"Vulgar." Tang Huowu wasn't only known for her explosive figure; her temper was even more volatile.

She wielded a long whip.

With a loud snap, fierce flames burst from the whip.

As the whip cracked, strings of fire tornados appeared out of thin air.

Snap… snap… snap…

A series of crackling sounds followed.

Zhang Cheng, without any resistance, was bound by the fiery whip.

Several seconds later.

The whip was retracted, and Zhang Cheng was covered in whip marks, thrown off the Martial Arts Fighting Platform.

"Impressive," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

He had heard the name Tang Huowu before.

She was a well-known super genius from Meteor County.

Only 20 years old this year, she already possessed Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Cultivation.

However, she hadn't joined the Sky-splitting Sword Sect of Meteor County.

She wielded a long whip.

The long whip, nimble yet complex in its entanglements.

It demanded extremely high agility from its user.

The reason she dressed so provocatively, in short clothes and shorts,

was largely to allow greater flexibility of her body.

Of course, perhaps her fiery temperament was also a factor.

Her Martial Soul was the Fire Dance Meteor Whip.

As for the Tang Family, it was one of the major powers in Meteor County.

With a Sword Master in the family, their influence was growing stronger.

Indeed, it was the Meteor Sword Master.

And Tang Huowu was the sister of the Meteor Sword Master.

To return to the matter at hand.

At this moment, on the Martial Arts Fighting Platform, Tang Huowu loudly said, "I am taking the role of team captain, any objections?"

Below the Martial Arts Fighting Platform, no one spoke.

After a while, Lin Chong said, "It's settled."

"Since no one objects, Tang Huowu will be the team captain."

On the Martial Arts Fighting Platform, Tang Huowu stepped down.

Another person leaped onto the Martial Arts Fighting Platform.

"I am taking the role of team captain, any objections?"

The newcomer was a man, about in his early thirties.

"Hm? Cold Blade Xu Qian?" fear was written on the faces of the people below.

Cold Blade Xu Qian, with Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Cultivation.

A well-known Independent Martial Artist in Meteor County, also a Demon Hunter.

Skilled with a curved blade, he was quite powerful.

After a while, no one came up to challenge.

Lin Chong announced, "The second team captain will be Xu Qian."

Xu Qian stepped down from the Martial Arts Fighting Platform.

Another person leaped up.

"Thunder Hammer, Tie Jiushan."

At this point, the crowd was no longer just wary, but fearful.

Tie Jiushan, nickname Thunder Hammer, his Martial Soul was also the Thunder Hammer.

One of the well-known Demon Hunters in Meteor County.

He was burly and had a fierce face.

But actually, he was a decent person.

However, the Thunder Hammer was a Fire Attribute iron hammer.

Every strike was overwhelmingly powerful.

The demon beasts he killed were either smashed into mush or blown into a bloody mess.

His methods were somewhat terrifying, coupled with his fierce face, naturally made people fearful.

"Uh... may I take the role of team captain?" Tie Jiushan scratched his head and asked.

"Uncle Jiu Shan, no one dares to compete with you for the role of team captain."

The crowd said.

Tie Jiushan, with Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Cultivation.

Rumored to have once killed a demon beast with nine-layered power with a single hammer strike.

He even barely escaped with his life under the pursuit of an Earth Element First Layer Martial Artist.

In terms of strength, he should be the strongest among all the newly joined Flame Martial Guards.

After a while, no one challenged.

Lin Chong declared, "The third team captain will be Tie Jiushan."

By the way.

There are many ways to join the Flame Martial Guard.

Being recommended by the Commandery Prince or the Demon Hunting Hall are among the ways.

Of course, the recommenders must pass numerous tests before becoming a Flame Martial Guard.

Then, they can come to the base and officially register.

At this moment, another figure jumped onto the Martial Arts Fighting Platform.

The previously formal Fang Cheng.

"I am taking the role of team captain, no objections now, right?" Zhang Cheng said indignantly.

In his view, the strongest individuals had already appeared and become team captains.

The last team captain spot should certainly be his.

However, a faint voice shattered his illusion.

"It looks like you're going down again."

The speaker was Xiao Yi, speaking indifferently.

"Who are you?" Zhang Cheng said sternly, "I haven't heard of you in Meteor County."

Xiao Yi smiled, not saying a word.

"Hmph." Zhang Cheng scoffed, "Be smart and get the hell down."

"Look at your puny arms and legs, not enough for me to chop in one go."

...

Second update.
