Little did they know that their conversation had already reached the ears of the officers chatting outside...
Everyone's eyes flickered for a moment...
One of the officers whispered quietly, "Did you guys just hear that? Jiang Wuyue seems to be challenging the new recruit to a duel, we've got to go and watch!"
Another officer frowned and said, "Hiss... This isn't really appropriate, right? An old soldier who's been with the Ferocious God Legion for so many years bullying a new recruit, isn't that a bit too much?"
"Hey, I reckon it must be because that new recruit has gotten too close to Major Long recently, so much so that they're angry and embarrassed and have issued a challenge!"
"It's possible. After passing the assessment, this new recruit was exceptionally promoted to Second Lieutenant, you know. It's already good enough for a new recruit to get to Private First Class!"
"No matter what, let's just enjoy the show. If Jiang Wuyue wins, it's all good. But if he loses, it would be a disgrace for all of us!"
Of course, there were also some officers who didn't mind making a big deal about it and spoke of the duel to take place in the underground training ground...
...
Soon, the arena where Tang Wulin and Jiang Wuyue were located was suddenly filled with many officers coming to watch...
And that soldier was completely dumbfounded, "This... wasn't it just a sparring between two people? Why have so many officers suddenly poured in? And even a general has come!"
That's right, besides Gu Yue and others, even Major General Long Tianwu had personally arrived!
He was just an ordinary soldier, when had he ever seen such a scene!
Jiang Wuyue's face couldn't hide his surprise either, but he managed to suppress it well, thinking to himself, "This battle, it seems I can't go easy now. If I lose, I'm afraid I'll lose all face in the Ferocious God Legion!"
He hadn't expected this duel to draw such a crowd!
Especially with Long Tianwu's presence, just standing there increased the pressure he felt!
As for Tang Wulin, however, he maintained his calm and had absolute confidence in the upcoming battle!
He casually said, "Officer, you don't look very well. Shall we continue the duel?"
With so many spectators watching, it didn't matter much if he lost. But if he won, Jiang Wuyue would be deeply embarrassed!
Jiang Wuyue glared at him, "Of course we continue. Even General Long has come; we can't just stop this duel now!"
With that said, he turned to the soldier beside him, "You there, act as the judge for this duel!"
The soldier didn't dare refuse and responded somewhat flattered, "Yes, officer!"
Then, gathering his courage, he announced loudly, "Please, both competitors, stand ten meters apart! And then release your Martial Souls!"
"The duel will officially commence in five seconds!"
The moment the words dropped, both Tang Wulin and Jiang Wuyue swiftly retreated to a safe distance.
Without any hesitation, the latter released his Martial Soul, and instantly a fierce killing intent surged out from his body...
To the naked eye, a T-rex about dozens of meters in size appeared behind him, with six Soul Rings rising beneath it...
He was unmistakably a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse!
This scene caused Tang Wulin's pupils to shrink sharply as he thought to himself, "It's the Overlord Dragon Martial Soul! Although it's not as good as the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon, it is still a top-tier Martial Soul! No wonder he is so confident in his own strength!"
Seeing him unmoved, Jiang Wuyue urged, "Kid, release your Martial Soul!"
Without further ado, Tang Wulin released the glistening deep blue Bluesilver Grass in the palm of his hand!
Six Soul Rings also rose up beneath him...
...
But the attention of everyone present wasn't on his Soul Rings, but on the seemingly frail and powerless Blue Silver Grass in his hands!
Their beautiful eyes widened as they said, "I must be going blind, right? The new recruit's Martial Soul is actually the useless Blue Silver Grass?"
"You're not blind. It's indeed Blue Silver Grass. Can such a Martial Soul truly be cultivated by a person?"
"I thought our Special Forces received a promising new prospect, but to think it's a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, sigh! It's really disappointing!"
"Yeah, with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, how can he possibly spar with Jiang Wuyue and his top-tier Beast Soul, the T-rex? He probably won't last three minutes, right?"
"I feel it's not necessarily the case. To cultivate Blue Silver Grass to the rank of Soul Emperor certainly isn't simple!"
Jiang Qiyue's beautiful eyes looked somewhat complex, "A Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, truly unexpected..."
The man who could overpower her own brother in terms of strength, his Martial Soul was actually Blue Silver Grass!
Not just her, even Long Yuxue was silent, unable to hide her look of disappointment...
A Martial Soul as Blue Silver Grass, even if one's soul power rank could be cultivated to the Titled Douluo, their strength was sure to be quite average, with almost no future to speak of!
Having witnessed all this, Jiang Qiyue teased, "What's wrong, Yuxue? Are you very disappointed that this handsome guy's Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass?"
Long Yuxue sighed, "A little, yeah."
But the next second, she looked skeptically at the other and said, "Qiyue, don't tell me it was you who instigated your brother to settle accounts with Tang Wulin?"
Jiang Qiyue showed an innocent look and giggled, "Hehehe, Yuxue, isn't it interesting that two men are fighting over you? Besides, don't you want to find out Tang Wulin's real strength?"
Long Yuxue held her forehead with her hand and rolled her eyes, "I knew it was you, always stirring up trouble!"
She started to doubt whether she had been unwise in her friendships. She had no particular feelings for Jiang Wuyue, yet here was Jiang Qiyue causing issues!
Jiang Qiyue took Long Yuxue's arm, coquettishly saying, "Come on now, Yuxue, you'll forgive me, won't you?"
Long Yuxue turned her head away, huffing, "Just this once, never again!"
Major General Long Tianwu alone, felt interested as he said, "This new recruit's Martial Soul is actually Blue Silver Grass, interesting!"
Most importantly, he saw no trace of fear in Tang Wulin's eyes, even a bit of eagerness to try!
This was enough to suggest he wasn't as weak as he seemed!
...
In a corner nearby, Gu Yue glanced sideward at Xu Sheng and asked in surprise, "Teacher Xu, did you come to watch Wulin's duel with Jiang Wuyue, too?"
Xu Sheng crossed his arms, speaking in a relaxed tone, "Yeah, to cause such a stir upon joining the Ferocious God Legion, naturally, I have to come and see!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue instinctively explained, "Teacher Xu, it's not Wulin's fault. It was that Jiang Wuyue..."
Xu Sheng smiled calmly, "Mhm, I know!"
He then said meaningfully, "But Gu Yue, why are you so eager to explain things for Tang Wulin?"
Gu Yue's cheeks instantly turned red, "I... I just don't want you to misunderstand Wulin."
Xu Sheng patted her head, "Don't worry, I understand the kid well. But what about you? Can you tell me why you decided to join the military with Tang Wulin?"
At those words, Gu Yue's face suddenly changed, falling into silence...
