After a battle, Han Lang and his three companions all advanced.
Following this battle, Ma Long and Tang Qin became even more famous.
Especially Tang Qin, with her "Can Ying" technique, coupled with her high颜值, and the claw-type spirit artifacts and martial skills that seemed out of place with her image, left an even deeper impression on everyone.
In an instant, Tang Qin's battle became the focus of discussion in the recruit camp, and even among the veteran soldiers, it became a topic of lively conversation.
The happiest person was Han Lang's new recruit squad leader, Huang Yuhua. With 3,000 qualifiers emerging, in the new recruit squad he led, Han Lang, Tang Geng, Ma Long, Tang Qin, and even Zhao Wu all performed exceptionally well. Therefore, facing the congratulations from many fellow camp comrades, he couldn't stop smiling.
"Old Huang, among the comrades leading new recruits this year, you have the best luck. It's good if the new recruits we lead can produce one or two seedlings for the finals, but you, you've got five all by yourself!"
"Exactly! And according to everyone's speculation, your new recruits might be more than just qualifiers for the finals! If you occupy half of the top ten spots in the new recruit arena competition, wouldn't you soar to the heavens and build a phoenix nest!"
Huang Yuhua was naturally overjoyed to hear these words.
"Where, where! You all flatter me! The new recruit arena competition has just begun, and you're already making such pronouncements. What if these little rookies in my squad don't meet expectations later? Where would I hide my old face!"
"Heh heh, don't pretend to be modest after getting what you want! Regardless, when you get promoted later, don't forget us old comrades! Haha..."
"How could I? Old San, you're too kind! Not to mention anything else, that Golden Core stage new recruit in Old Kuang's squad is a truly solid seedling. Compared to him, I'm far behind, far behind! Heh heh..."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.
In their opinion, the appearance of a Golden Core stage cultivator in the recruit camp was almost a predetermined champion in the history of the new recruit arena competitions.
Therefore, even though a few people in Huang Yuhua's team performed exceptionally well, they could hardly shake everyone's perception of strength.
But at this moment, Liu Xiaoxiao, who had been standing coldly to the side, couldn't help but speak.
"I think the winner of this year's new recruit arena competition might not be decided yet. At least, Zhao Wu from our squad has indeed reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Coupled with his Profound Tier high-grade术法, he might not be without a fight against that Golden Core stage new recruit from Old Kuang's squad!"
Hearing this, Old Kuang was instantly displeased.
"Xiaoxiao, aren't you being too biased? Although you and Old Huang lead the same recruit camp, and this achievement is partly due to you. But based on a late-stage Foundation Establishment new recruit who cultivates Profound Tier high-grade术法, to shake the Golden Core stage seedling in our squad, isn't that still a bit insufficient!"
The others immediately echoed his sentiment.
"Yes, yes. Although Profound Tier high-grade术法 is not common, that darling of Old Kuang, since he managed to break through to the Golden Core stage, his术法 probably wouldn't be bad either, right?"
Old Kuang became even more smug.
"Heh heh, I'm not afraid to tell you. The术法 cultivated by the new recruit in my squad is also a solid Earth Tier low-grade术法! Compared to your Zhao Wu, Xiaoxiao, I estimate he's still not enough to see!"
Hearing this, Huang Yuhua's heart sank to the bottom.
With Golden Core stage cultivation and Earth Tier low-grade术法, let alone the recruit camp, even among many veteran soldiers, he might be able to put up a fight.
And just as he was filled with worry, Liu Xiaoxiao spoke again.
"Old Kuang, don't be too arrogant. Even if you are so confident, I still reserve my opinion. The championship of the new recruit arena competition is not necessarily destined for your Golden Core stage new recruit!"
Seeing Liu Xiaoxiao's persistence, everyone present, including Huang Yuhua, was stunned.
They all knew Liu Xiaoxiao well and knew that she was not someone who spoke without basis or made boastful claims.
However, without actual evidence, everyone naturally did not have much faith in her words.
Huang Yuhua even cautiously pulled Liu Xiaoxiao aside and asked in a low voice.
"In our squad, is there anyone else who has the strength to fight against a Golden Core stage cultivator?"
Liu Xiaoxiao replied noncommittally.
"Yes! That Han Lang, I think he might be able to!"
Hearing this answer, Huang Yuhua suddenly realized.
"Right, right. His cultivation is only half a step behind Zhao Wu. If he can compensate in other aspects, he might indeed be a notch above Zhao Wu. But in terms of fighting a Golden Core stage cultivator, isn't it still a bit..."
Seeing Huang Yuhua's lack of confidence, Old Kuang became even more confident.
"Xiaoxiao, aren't you tricking me with your words? In your squad, I remember there was only one new recruit in the late stage of Foundation Establishment in the strength test. If he's not confident, can others be more confident? Could it be that you've been with Old Huang for too long and learned his habit of bragging? Haha..."
Hearing this teasing, Liu Xiaoxiao immediately retorted.
"Old Kuang, I just want to ask you, is the Golden Core stage cultivator in your squad capable of fighting me?"
Old Kuang thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"His starting point in all aspects is indeed not low, but compared to you, he will probably lose due to lack of combat experience! What? Does your squad have someone who can defeat you?"
Liu Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"I'm not very sure about that. But what I can be sure of is that he can at least fight me. If he still has something reserved, I think your Golden Core stage new recruit might not have an easy time!"
Old Kuang was somewhat shocked, but he quickly reacted.
"If that's the case, then all of this is just your speculation! In the end, you don't have more convincing evidence, do you?"
Liu Xiaoxiao was momentarily speechless, and then she replied again.
"I didn't say the victory definitely belongs to us! I'm just saying that the championship of this new recruit arena competition is still up for debate! No matter what, I can't boost your morale and dampen our own spirits! Don't you agree, Old Huang?"
With things said to this extent, Huang Yuhua certainly wouldn't back down, so he quickly agreed.
"Of course! My soldiers, Huang Yuhua's soldiers, can they be inferior?"
As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter and started joking.
"Old Huang, based on your words, I support you this time!"
"I support you too! Ever since that Golden Core stage new recruit appeared in Old Kuang's place, he's been incredibly arrogant these past few days. You must help your brothers deflate his arrogance!"
"Haha..."
Old Kuang was laughing uncontrollably at this moment, completely disregarding the camaraderie of his comrades because he had a good seedling in his hand!
