"So... what exactly do you want to say?" Lu Yang asked directly.
"The people upstairs want to conduct an assessment on the major generals who were specially promoted in the past two years. The pass rate is only ten percent. Do you understand what that means!" Ling Que Wang continued.
"I understand. The major generals specially promoted in the past two years include me!"
"It's just a small move someone made targeting me!" Lu Yang, being extremely intelligent, instantly grasped the underlying motives.
"That's right. Flying Tiger King asked me to inform you of this matter. He hopes you will take it seriously. He thinks highly of you and doesn't want anything to go wrong with you!"
"After all, you were promoted with great effort by Flying Tiger King. Don't embarrass Flying Tiger King because of this matter!" Ling Que Wang said calmly. He returned here entirely at the behest of Flying Tiger King to inform Lu Yang.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so close to Flying Tiger King that he would tell you this and have you notify me. Where is the location, and when is the time?" Lu Yang smiled slightly, not taking this competition seriously at all. With his current level, even a Grandmaster of martial arts would not be his opponent.
Even if he encountered a half-step Divine Realm expert, as long as they weren't exceptionally powerful, Lu Yang would have a chance to fight and perhaps even win. For example, observing the current Ling Que Wang, Lu Yang estimated that Ling Que Wang had already reached the half-step Divine Realm, but his cultivation was not yet stable, as he had only entered this realm recently. Furthermore, he lacked practical combat experience. Lu Yang believed he could defeat Ling Que Wang within a hundred moves.
Of course, Lu Yang wouldn't voice this. He still needed to give Ling Que Wang enough face.
"The location is Yanjing, and the time is the day after tomorrow. However, Flying Tiger King's intention is for you to go tomorrow so you have a day to get familiar with the environment!"
"This event is of great significance, and everyone participating is not ordinary. Some are even more powerful than me, so you must take it seriously!" Ling Que Wang said in a cold tone.
"More powerful than me? I'm also more powerful than you!" Lu Yang thought to himself but didn't dare say it aloud. Instead, he smiled and said, "Alright, thank you. I will definitely work hard!"
"Yes, it's good that you have this intention. If you really can't win, don't force yourself. Just make sure you don't get crippled. After all, you are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future!" Ling Que Wang continued, "If you need anything in the future, you can find me. I will help you if I can. However, regarding our engagement, I hope you won't mention it again. No matter how capable you are, I will not marry you because I have never liked you!"
"Don't worry, I haven't liked you either!" Lu Yang said directly.
Upon hearing this, Ling Que Wang was clearly angered, but she didn't erupt on the spot. Instead, she waved her sleeve and left Lu Yang's office directly.
"This little girl, instead of focusing on improving her own strength, only knows how to talk back. She's truly troublesome!" Lu Yang shook his head helplessly.
"Sigh, I just returned from Yanjing a few days ago, and now I have to go back. It's really a hassle. There's still a pile of matters to handle at the company. It seems I can only entrust everything to Old Lin!" As Lu Yang thought this, he stood up directly and walked out of his office. He needed to tell Shen Yiman about this, otherwise, Shen Yiman would truly suspect that Lu Yang had someone in Yanjing.
As soon as he reached the parking lot, Lu Yang suddenly sensed that the surrounding aura had become peculiar, and a sense of threat instantly enveloped him.
"Hmm?" Lu Yang snorted coldly and turned to look. He saw a burly man standing ten meters behind him, all the aura emanating from this man.
"Are you Lu Yang?" the burly man asked Lu Yang coldly.
"I don't know you!" Lu Yang replied directly.
"My name is Huang Zhongtian, and I am the president of the Hua Guo Hongmen General Association!" Huang Zhongtian said, introducing himself directly to Lu Yang.
"Uh-huh, I know!" Lu Yang said, then completely ignored Huang Zhongtian and continued walking forward.
"Knowing is all?" Seeing Lu Yang's reaction, Huang Zhongtian was instantly enraged. He took a step forward and blocked Lu Yang's path.
"Kid, you killed the president of the Hongmen Yanjing branch. Are you just going to leave like this? Believe it or not, I'll slap you to death with one palm!" Huang Zhongtian roared coldly.
"Slap me to death? With your ability, you're not strong enough!" Lu Yang sneered. Although Huang Zhongtian gave him a faint sense of threat, in a real fight, it was still uncertain who would win!
"You're courting death!" Hearing this, Huang Zhongtian was completely enraged and struck towards Lu Yang's face with a palm.
"Is this Iron Palm?" Lu Yang felt the power of this palm and instantly recognized it as Iron Palm. He quickly retreated two steps, dodging Huang Zhongtian's palm strike.
"Kid, good eyes! You actually recognized my palm technique. Not bad, this is Iron Palm, the number one palm technique. You are fortunate enough to experience the power of Iron Palm!" Huang Zhongtian said, and once again struck towards Lu Yang with a palm. Each of his palm strikes was majestic, possessing a sense of harmony between man and nature, and he could borrow the power of heaven and earth, his pressure being extremely powerful.
"To actually be at the half-step Divine Realm. No wonder you're so confident. The president of the Hongmen Hua Guo General Association is indeed different!" Lu Yang instantly became interested. After speaking to Huang Zhongtian, his body turned into a bow shape, and he rapidly lunged towards Huang Zhongtian, swift as lightning and fast as a galloping horse, as if he were a cannonball.
Lu Yang's hand also turned into a fist, aimed at Huang Zhongtian's temples.
"Yuan Strike Technique?"
"Isn't this a martial art that has been lost for half a century? Where did you learn it?" The moment Lu Yang attacked, Huang Zhongtian immediately recognized the martial art as Yuan Strike Technique. It was once prevalent in Hua Guo, but for some unknown reason, it was lost. To see Lu Yang perform it today truly shocked Huang Zhongtian.
"Why should I tell you? You just need to take the move!" Lu Yang roared, directly throwing a punch.
"Arrogant!" Huang Zhongtian snorted coldly and struck out with his palm. His Iron Palm instantly collided with Lu Yang's fist, emitting a shattering impact. Both were pushed back two steps. Huang Zhongtian felt an instant sharp pain in his palm.
"This kid's punch is so powerful that it even repelled my Iron Palm!" Huang Zhongtian was secretly astonished and dealt with Lu Yang with more caution.
