Hearing this, Huang Zhihua immediately smiled. No matter who won or lost their duel, it had little to do with him. Three out of five people needed to win, and one had already been defeated. As long as one more person was defeated, Huang Zhihua could advance without fighting.
In the second match, the martial arts of both combatants were comparable. They fought for over a hundred rounds before Hu Biao finally brought out his bone sword. Even without Guo Shouren's control, the bone sword itself was a formidable magic artifact. It directly pierced Liu Wuming's chest, killing him on the spot.
The three matches thus concluded. The final three to be promoted to Major General were Lu Yang, Hu Biao, and Huang Zhihua.
Huang Zhihua's luck was incredibly good. If they had truly fought, he would have been the one killed or defeated. Among the final five, Huang Zhihua's cultivation and martial skills were the lowest. Fortunately, Lu Yang had killed Hao Xiaoxing, and Hu Biao had chosen Liu Wuming, allowing him to narrowly escape.
Soon, Ma Xiangqian presented the three with their Major General identity certificates and uniforms. The assessment was now officially concluded.
"Lu Yang, thank you! I really owe you this time. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago!"
"I'll treat you to a good time in Yanjing tonight!"
Huang Zhihua immediately ran to Lu Yang's side, smiling.
"Sure, I have nothing to do tonight!"
Lu Yang readily agreed. Having an extra friend was always a good thing.
Soon, Huang Zhihua brought Lu Yang along, driving an imported Maserati towards Yanjing City.
"Driving a car like this on this kind of road is such a waste. You'll have to replace the engine and electrical components before long!"
Lu Yang looked at the brand new Maserati being so carelessly treated and felt a pang of pain.
"It's fine. My family is in the coal business in the northwest; we have plenty of money. My monthly living expenses are hundreds of millions. This car is nothing. If we have a good time tonight, I might even give it away!"
Huang Zhihua said generously.
"Holy cow, that's awesome!"
Lu Yang didn't know what language to use to describe Huang Zhihua; "Holy cow, that's awesome!" was all he could say.
About two hours later, the two arrived in Yanjing. Huang Zhihua took Lu Yang to a six-star hotel for dinner, then to Yanjing's most luxurious private club. Two large foreign beauties from Snow Country immediately approached them and sat on either side of Lu Yang. XXS YI ER
The two women were very beautiful and elegantly dressed, which made Lu Yang's heart flutter.
"I didn't expect you to have such a hobby, but I... I'm still young. Don't corrupt me!"
Lu Yang said, quickly refusing as the two beauties were very forward.
"Brother Lu, let's have fun. My family owns shares in the hotel and this private club we're visiting tonight. You can do whatever you want, even if you set this place on fire, nothing will happen!"
Huang Zhihua said with a smile, looking at Lu Yang.
Despite Huang Zhihua's words, Lu Yang remained hesitant and didn't dare to act overly bold. Besides drinking with the two foreign beauties, he had no further intentions.
"Sir, do you dislike me?"
Seeing that Lu Yang was not showing interest, one of the women immediately asked.
"No, I just don't like this environment!"
Lu Yang quickly explained.
"Then how about we change the environment?"
The woman seemed to have read Lu Yang's mind and said quickly.
"No, it's fine here!"
"Come, let's drink!"
Lu Yang quickly picked up a glass of wine, clinked it with the two women, and drank it in one gulp.
They were drinking XO and Louis XIII, which cost hundreds of thousands per bottle. However, such bottles were lined up on the table, and they could drink as much as they wanted without any restrictions.
But Lu Yang's alcohol tolerance was too strong. After drinking three bottles, he felt nothing. The two women, however, were already a bit tipsy.
"Sir, your alcohol tolerance is too strong. I can't keep up. I'm already dizzy. Why don't you escort me to my room to sleep?"
One of the Snow Country beauties said to Lu Yang.
"Okay!"
Lu Yang nodded and helped one of the Snow Country beauties towards the room.
The private rooms were quite close to the guest rooms. Lu Yang wasn't sure what the design was for.
After Lu Yang placed the Snow Country beauty on the bed, he intended to leave. Unexpectedly, the Snow Country beauty grabbed Lu Yang.
"Sir, can't you stay and keep me company?"
As the Snow Country beauty spoke, her eyes twinkled, and she sent alluring glances, all in one fluid motion, as if possessing a charm that attracted men.
Most men would have been utterly smitten by such a beauty, but Lu Yang immediately recognized that there was something wrong with this Snow Country beauty. She had just used a charm technique, a method specifically designed to seduce men.
Lu Yang was surprised that people still mastered such techniques; it was truly unusual.
"You used a charm technique on me, right?"
"I'm sorry, but such methods have no effect on me!"
Lu Yang said directly to the Snow Country beauty.
Hearing this, the Snow Country beauty's drunkenness seemed to vanish. She was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sir, you are indeed formidable. But I did that because I like you. Although you are young, you are incredibly charming, making it impossible for me to resist. Can we spend a lovely night together?"
The Snow Country beauty asked directly, looking at Lu Yang.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you!"
Lu Yang stated directly.
"How can that be? Every man I meet immediately wants to spend the night with me. If you're a man, you definitely have that thought!"
The Snow Country beauty wasn't planning to let Lu Yang go and continued to say to him.
"You're right. Your charm, as well as your looks and figure, are top-notch. However, I can see from your eyes that you don't genuinely like me but want something from me. If my guess is correct, you're an assassin sent by the Zhao family of Yanjing!"
Lu Yang smiled faintly, making no move, and looked at the Snow Country beauty calmly.
"What?"
"You..."
"How do you know?"
Upon hearing this, the woman realized she had been exposed. Her face showed extreme panic. People exposed like them had only one fate: death.
"How do you plan to deal with me?"
The Snow Country beauty continued to ask Lu Yang.
"I won't deal with you. You can go. I won't make a move against women!"
Lu Yang glanced at the Snow Country beauty and smiled faintly. He could sense that this Snow Country beauty had no intention of killing him. Otherwise, she would have poisoned his drink earlier. Even now, on the bed, Lu Yang hadn't seen any daggers or anything similar.
