Chapter 1512: Chapter 168 Who is He_2Gao Zhe: …
Fuck your mother. When it comes to choosing between literary and martial challenges, where is the “literary” aspect? It’s all about fighting to the death!
But how does he dare to fight Lei Zhanqian to the death?
Don’t be fooled by Jiang Wang beating Lei Zhanqian like he’s a child; this person is also qualified to vie for a position on Guanhe Platform!
Gao Zhe felt so embarrassed that even his face started to feel sore, but luckily, he had already felt embarrassed yesterday, so he wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with this feeling.
Forcing a smile, he reluctantly said, “What literary and martial challenges, life and death with no grievances, it’s laughable. There are still two positions for the main generals; we can each take one. There’s no need for mutual destruction; it won’t look good.”
By saying this much, he was already conceding, barely maintaining a façade.
It’s somewhat pitiful, despite being laughable.
But slicing the positions decisively like this, how could Wen Lianmu and Tian Chang possibly agree?
“I can’t say whether Brother Lei can obtain a position,” Tian Chang said calmly, “but Brother Gao, completely excluding me is still up for discussion. Otherwise… literature versus martial arts, why don’t you pick one with me?”
This person, usually so low-key as to be almost dull, suddenly revealed his fangs, flashing with cold gleams!
Wen Lianmu smiled and said, “If it comes to leading the army in a charge, I don’t mind facing anyone.”
No one was willing to yield!
Gao Zhe quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart and decisively said, “Since Brother Tian says so, I’ll compete for a spot with you. Brother Lei and Brother Wen will vie for another spot. We’re all working for Daqi here; win or lose, no one should hold grudges!”
He’s not a complete fool; he has some wit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought to use Jiang Wang’s influence to intimidate Lin Xian.
These words seem fair, but in reality, he’s turned a situation of four competing for two spots into two competing for one spot each.
He considers his cultivation inferior to Lei Zhanqian and his ability to lead troops inferior to Wen Lianmu; if it’s four competing for two, he’s likely to end up empty-handed.
But two competing for one is different because the easiest “persimmon to pinch” among the four has naturally been placed in the same group as him.
This is the choice he thinks is most advantageous for him in the short term.
Lei Zhanqian remained silent because he didn’t care who he faced. Wen Lianmu also kept quiet; he has his pride when it comes to leading the army in a charge, and he believes he won’t lose to Lei Zhanqian.
Tian Chang was even more silent; Gao Zhe treating him as a soft persimmon was very satisfying to him.
But just then, Zhongxuan Sheng’s voice rang out: “No, you actually only have one main general position left.”
Shocked and angered, Gao Zhe looked over.
Zhongxuan Sheng didn’t look at him but leaned back on a specially made large chair, glancing around leisurely, saying, “Everyone already knows about Jiang Wang, I reckon. I initially advised him to focus on cultivating, but since the world now knows, it’s only right to come to Star Moon Plain and return a favor to the People of the Jing Nation…”
“I’ve already sent someone to invite him, he should be here within two days.”
He smiled as he spoke, “The first Inner Mansion in history taking a camp, I don’t think anyone would oppose that, right?”
“Of course not!” someone immediately responded, “With Jiang Wang here, what’s Xu San compared to? How does Wang Kun stand? What does Pei Hongjiu have to fear?”
The speaker was Yi Kingdom’s genius Lin Jie.
Zhongxuan Sheng glanced at him, surprised at how aptly he flattered him.
Yi Kingdom is a small nation south of Chang Country, not far from the Cliff of Celestial Punishment, and is deeply influenced by Legalist thought. The people of this country quite admire the qualities of being upright and incorruptible, widely possess a spirit of seriousness.
The names Lin Jie mentioned are all famous Inner Mansion Realm geniuses of Jing Nation.
Calling it arrogance wouldn’t actually be considered too arrogant, as Jiang Wang has achieved the name of the greatest Inner Mansion, and within the Inner Mansion Realm, there really is no need for modesty.
If Lin Jie were to mention someone like Jing Nation’s Chen Suan, an Outer Building Environment genius, it would indeed seem like trying to kill with flattery. The current scale is very subtly handled… he’s quite talented.
Zhongxuan Sheng took the time to comment on people, but Gao Zhe’s mood was ruined by one sentence.
Looking at Zhongxuan Sheng, he forced a smile and said, “Ah Sheng, stop joking. Jiang Wang isn’t even here yet.”
Zhongxuan Sheng smiled and squinted at him, “I never joke with people I’m not familiar with.”
With this sentence, the stance was clear and the boundaries defined, from then on, no longer including Gao Zhe in the group.
Gao Zhe froze for a moment, unable to react.
“Jiang Wang might have a big name, but he’s not here in person, taking a spot as a main force isn’t appropriate, right? This is the battlefield, not a place for child’s play. We are here to determine life and death, victory and defeat, not drawing on a sand table and placing chess pieces. If he wants to take a spot… couldn’t he come earlier?” A voice suddenly said from a few rows back.
“Who is this person?” Zhongxuan Sheng asked the people around him.
“Zhao Country’s Gu Yan!” A young man with a stubborn expression said loudly.
He glared resolutely at Zhongxuan Sheng, refusing to back down.
Among the countries in the Eastern Region, if you were to rank the small countries that most admire Qi Country, Zhao Country would certainly be high on the list. It’s even more aligned with Qi Country than Yang Country was back in the day. Regardless of those in power, most Zhao Country citizens are eager to be merged into Qi Country.
No one expected such a temperamental person to emerge from such a country, someone daring to challenge a famous genius from Qi Country.
Li Longchuan stood up directly, walked to this person, and raised his chin slightly: “Step outside, let’s talk.”
So straightforward, such overwhelming momentum.
Gu Yan was visibly stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but turn his head to glance at Madam West Crossing.
