"A promise? That's quite a promise!"
"Then should I thank you for your kindness!"
Speaking to this point, Lu Yang was already a little angry. If it weren't for the Black Dragon Token, he would have died in the Mountain of Death by now.
"Lu Yang, don't be angry. This is also a test for you. There are two more rounds. I hope you won't disappoint King Feihu. After all, he doesn't have much time left. If he can't see you grow, I'm afraid he won't be at peace even after a hundred years!"
King Lingque directly dropped a bombshell that instantly caused ripples in Lu Yang's room.
"What? King Feihu doesn't have much time left? What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Lu Yang immediately looked at King Lingque and asked.
"King Feihu was severely injured in his early years and never recovered. As he got older, his internal injuries worsened. He started making arrangements for his funeral a while ago. It's estimated he won't make it through this winter!"
King Lingque also sighed and said to Lu Yang.
"Internal injuries?"
"Why didn't he tell me? Our Lu family's ancestral medical skills might be able to help him with his internal injuries!"
Lu Yang shook his head and continued speaking to King Lingque.
"It's useless. King Feihu has consulted renowned doctors all over the world, and no one can cure his injuries. At most, they can only suppress them with medication, but now these medicines are becoming increasingly ineffective. The reason he didn't come to find you personally this time and asked me to come is because his injuries are already beyond..."
At this point, King Lingque didn't continue.
"After things here are settled, you must take me to see King Feihu. Just because the world has no solution doesn't mean I don't. Don't forget, King Heilong is invincible, and his medical skills are also invincible!"
Lu Yang's eyes flickered with a cold light as he looked at King Lingque. At this moment, his aura was like that of King Heilong standing at the pinnacle of the world, overpowering everything. Even King Lingque felt a wave of pressure.
"Okay, I promise you!"
King Lingque was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright, I know what to do next. You can go back now. I'll take care of the remaining two rounds, and I guarantee I won't disappoint King Feihu!"
Lu Yang said indifferently. In fact, after confronting Ma Xiangqian yesterday, Lu Yang had already considered retreating. He didn't like being manipulated like a chess piece. However, after hearing the truth from King Lingque, Lu Yang changed his mind and decided to pass the remaining two rounds to become a Chinese general, fulfilling King Feihu's expectations. After all, his growth was inseparable from King Feihu.
Now, he could not let down King Feihu's earnest hopes.
"Yes!"
King Lingque nodded, understanding Lu Yang's thoughts, and finally felt relieved. He left.
The next day, the ten people who survived yesterday arrived at the training ground. The second round was very simple: a two-on-two duel. The winner would proceed to the next round. Only five people would survive this round. No matter what method was used, as long as the opponent was defeated, it was fine.
Lu Yang knew that this round wasn't difficult, but it was also very cruel. Since no moves were restricted, some people might resort to insidious and vicious methods, such as hidden weapons or poisoning, to achieve victory.
Lu Yang, of course, didn't take these methods seriously. With his month of experience learning in Youdu Prison, these methods were child's play.
Soon, the ten people began to draw lots. Lu Yang didn't know if it was deliberate manipulation or just his luck, but he drew the most formidable expert among them, the undefeated General Guo Guangyi.
Guo Guangyi was also from the Guo family, but not from the direct lineage. He was a death warrior cultivated by the Guo family patriarch, always prepared to sacrifice himself for the Guo family. Because of this, he could learn all the methods and martial arts of the Guo family. At only thirty-eight, he was already a Grandmaster realm expert. Such skill and status made him one of the best in the entire training ground.
Furthermore, this person was extremely insidious and vicious. He never spoke, as if he were mute. However, everyone knew that this person was not mute, but disdained speaking to opponents, because every word could be the key to defeat.
"This kid is finished. He actually went up against Guo Guangyi. Who is Guo Guangyi? He's notoriously ruthless. He once challenged the Yan Jing Martial Arts Hall and broke all four limbs of the hall master, even sparing his most vital part. This shows how brutal this person is!"
"Yes, it is said that since Guo Guangyi entered the martial arts world, he has never lost. Every time, he made his opponents suffer, and they could only spend the rest of their lives in bed!"
"This kid really has bad luck. He ran into such a brutal opponent in the first round. He'll probably die here today!"
"..."
The others, realizing that Lu Yang had drawn Guo Guangyi as his opponent, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and were also gloating.
But Lu Yang was completely indifferent to all of this. A mere Guo Guangyi was nothing to him. Let alone Guo Guangyi, even the Guo family patriarch would be no match for him. The current Lu Yang was already incomparable to his former self. With his half-step Divine Realm cultivation, and after being tempered in Youdu Prison, he was practically a combat machine. No one could gain any advantage from him.
Of course, no one knew about this except his cheap father, Lu Tianfeng.
The competition officially began. All participants were assigned combat arenas for two-on-two duels. Before the match, they had signed death waivers. Even if one unfortunately died, it had nothing to do with the opponent. After all, this was a public duel. To prevent accidents, Ma Xiangqian had made thorough preparations.
Standing beside Ma Xiangqian was Guo Shouren, the person who had found Ma Xiangqian and instructed him to intercept and eliminate Lu Yang.
At this moment, Guo Shouren was specifically there to observe. If their Guo family's death warrior was no match for Lu Yang, Guo Shouren would secretly intervene and eliminate Lu Yang.
Guo Shouren's cultivation had lasted for sixty years, and he was only a step away from the half-step Divine Realm. His martial arts were naturally formed, extremely fierce. Coupled with the Guo family's unique secret technique, as soon as he activated it, Guo Shouren could instantly enter the half-step Divine Realm to kill Lu Yang.
However, his clever plan was flawed because he didn't realize that Lu Yang's cultivation had already reached the half-step Divine Realm, and his martial arts were exquisite.
Soon, Lu Yang arrived at his designated combat arena. Guo Guangyi was already waiting. Seeing Lu Yang stand firm, he immediately launched an attack.
He was dressed entirely in black, with a black hood covering his head, making it impossible to tell where his eyes were looking. The moment he attacked, his figure disappeared from the arena like a ghost.
