"Qin Yong, dont you hurry to thank General?" Xu Haifeng hastily called out. He deeply knew that Qin Yong didnt understand archery at all, so he had no interest in the Sky Opening Bow whatsoever. But if such a good thing were to be used by Zhebie, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Its just unknown whether Zhebie could draw this bow with his current strength, but since Zhebie was able to absorb the effects of the Blood Wine multiple times, he should one day reach Qin Yongs standard.

  "Yes, thank you, General." Qin Yong took his bow and, without making a bow, walked directly to stand behind Xu Haifeng.

  "What a good and honest man." Gu Daos gaze followed Qin Yongs figure, not minding his rude behavior at all: "Qin Yong, do you have any other requests? Feel free to make them, I will try my best to satisfy them."

  "Really?" Qin Yong suddenly jumped out and shouted: "Can any request be made?"

  "Haha, as long as its within my capabilities, even if you want to lead an army on your own, thats fine."

  As soon as this was said, it caused a stir, and even the corner of Xu Haifengs eyes jumped involuntarily. To lead an army is an honor that only generals can get, just like Xu Haifeng reorganizing the Fifth Army at this moment, which is leading an army. No one had expected that Gu Dao would value Qin Yong so much, and even had the idea of promoting him to general.

  If it were someone else, of course, he would be eternally grateful and never forget the kindness. But Qin Yong, after drinking the blood wine, only had a loyal heart towards Xu Haifeng, and as for these fame, wealth and material possessions, he didnt care about them at all.

  "I dont want any leaders, I only want two pieces of equipment." Qin Yong said loudly. His voice was extremely loud and clear, echoing far and wide, and the tens of thousands of people on the school grounds heard it clearly.

  "Ah..." The old Taoists face flashed with disappointment, but he immediately smiled and said: "Alright, in this great martial arts arena of mine, I have all eighteen types of weapons. Take whatever you want."

  "Thank you, General." This time Qin Yong was truly sincere in his thanks, and the words revealed a joy that he couldnt hide. Except for Xu Haifeng, everyone on stage was over thirty years old, and with their experience, they could naturally hear the difference between Qin Yongs two expressions of gratitude. They were puzzled in their hearts, wondering what kind of weapon had made him so happy. Was this weapon even more powerful and precious than the Heavenly Bow?

  Qin Yong thanked him and walked to the edge of the platform, which was nearly ten meters high, and jumped down with a whoosh.

  All the generals were shocked in their hearts, secretly thinking that this person didnt look like a master of lightness kung fu at all. But suddenly he jumped down from a height of ten meters. Wasnt he trying to kill himself? Just then, there was a loud "thud" sound from below the stage, and Qin Yongs figure appeared in front of the stage, waving his hand to the crowd that was applauding and cheering for him as he walked towards the main entrance.

  They couldnt see him on the stage, but the soldiers below could see clearly. Qin Yong jumped down from the 10-meter-high podium and scared everyone, but they saw his tall and sturdy body fall like the wind, landing with a loud thud. Just as people were worried, he walked forward nonchalantly, as if he had just stepped down from a small step instead of a 10-meter-high platform, and again erupted into thunderous applause.

  Seeing the direction he was heading, Xu Haifeng and Tong Yifeng almost simultaneously had a thought, suddenly remembering something. The two of them looked at each other, both seeing what the other was thinking, but one pair of eyes was filled with embarrassment and helplessness, while the other was full of shock and astonishment.

  Qin Yong ran all the way, pushing through the crowd, and along the way, he didnt know how many people patted him on the shoulder or called out to him. All of this was external to him and not worth paying attention to. At this moment, his eyes only had two things in them, and it was for these two things that he had especially made the request earlier.

  Arriving at the school gate, Qin Yong chuckled and walked to the bronze lion on the left, stretching out his right hand to press on the lions neck. His hands were exceptionally wide and thick, fully extended, and surprisingly, they were just a bit smaller than a palm-leaf fan.

  Seeing his movements, people with quick minds had already guessed what kind of weapon he was talking about earlier. However, except for Xu Haifeng, everyone who guessed it only had one thought in their mind - has this guy gone crazy? Such a heavy thing, even if you can lift it up, how are you going to swing it around, let alone use it as a weapon?

  But then Qin Yong raised his right hand, and with a light and easy motion, he lifted up the bronze lion. He turned around and came to the right side, and in the same manner, he picked up another bronze lion. He swung the two lifelike bronze lions back and forth several times, and then with great force, he threw them into the air. The thousands-of-pounds-heavy bronze lions flew high into the air for over four meters before heavily falling down. Qin Yong took two steps forward, and without waiting for the bronze lions to hit the ground, he stretched out his hands and caught them in a steady and level motion. After that, with an excited look on his face, he clashed the two bronze lions together several times, producing a deafening "clang clang" sound. The dozens of soldiers near the gate who were not mentally prepared were frightened and fell to the ground.

  Qin Yong burst out laughing and slung the two bronze lions over his shoulders, running swiftly towards the rostrum.

  When Qin Yong came out, everyone was smiling and looking at him, and the friendly ones even patted him on the back to show their affection. But when he now carried two huge bronze lions and rushed towards the crowd, it triggered a series of reactions.

  Anyone who is not blind can see that the two bronze lions are extremely heavy, and if they are touched, its not a joke. As soon as Qin Yong approaches, everyone subconsciously takes a step back. But the people in the back want to move forward a bit to witness the heroic demeanor of the brave warrior. With a loud crash, the scene suddenly becomes chaotic, but fortunately, the road leading to the podium is once again opened up in another way, and more quickly this time.

  Qin Yong didnt care whether the chaotic situation below was caused by himself or not, he carried two bronze lions to the stage and rushed up the stairs with a "thud thud thud" sound.

  The staircase to the podium was made of solid fir, and this was specially used for high-level inspections. No one dared to cut corners, but the two bronze lions plus his own weight had apparently exceeded the limit that the stairs could bear. Every step Qin Yong took, the wooden board emitted a sharp cracking sound, and it actually cracked open.

  As he walked up to the podium, the stairs became uneven and looked terrible. He put the bronze lion on the platform, and it made a loud noise, making everyone feel like the platform was shaking too. The less courageous generals took a step back involuntarily.

  "General, I want these two pieces of military equipment."

  At this moment, the entire stadium was silent, with tens of thousands of people holding their breath, their eyes fixed on Qin Yongs body. Everyones heart let out a burst of astonished screams at the same time - Is this still human?

  Gū Dào Méng didnt respond, and Xǔ Hǎi Fēng found it extremely strange. He thought that in this situation, it would be very refreshing for a superior to give him an answer, which would have a great benefit in boosting morale. Could it be that Gǔ Dà Shuài was so petty?

  He didnt think that he was used to Qin Yongs divine power, and the so-called "familiarity breeds contempt" made him feel that there was nothing wrong with it. However, this kind of power is indeed a very difficult thing for people who see it for the first time to accept. Especially for these soldiers who are good at fighting and think they are the best in the world, the impact is even greater.

  "What a mess! These two objects are the guardian gods of the military camp, how can you use them as weapons? Take them back immediately!" Xǔ Hǎifēng saw no one else speaking up, so he had to step out himself.

  "Yes, General." Qin Yong obviously didnt want to part with these two things, but he still moved the bronze lion without hesitation and was about to turn around and leave.

  "Hold on." Gu Dao Yan suddenly raised his hand and said.

  Who would have thought that Qin Yong seemed to be unaware, and continued to move forward without paying attention. Xu Haifeng saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Fool, come back quickly, didnt you hear the general call you?" After finishing speaking, he knelt down on one knee, and said to Gu Daoxiong: "I beg the general to forgive my subordinate for his lack of manners. He has only a little strength, but has never learned any etiquette, and is rough and unrefined in his actions and behavior."

  Qin Yong heard Xu Haifengs voice and immediately turned around, walking back to the original place, but the two bronze lions were still holding on without putting them down.

  "No harm done, such a sincere person, I only have affection for you, how can there be punishment?". Gu Dao Yan waved his hand at Xu Haifeng, letting him get up. He then said: "Since Qin Yong likes these two lions, Ill make an exception this time and give them to him as weapons."

  Under Xu Haifengs indication, Qin Yong bowed his head in gratitude.

  "Qin Yong, Commander Zhai asks you again, are you willing to lead an army for me?" Gu Daoxu asked suddenly once more.

  "No need, Im now following General Xu and living a good life." Qin Yong bluntly refused, his words devoid of any respect.

  Gu Dao didnt say a word, he stared at Qin Yongs face for half a moment before turning his head to look at Xu Haifeng. Xu Haifeng nodded and bowed to meet his gaze, but unexpectedly found that in those piercing eyes, a hint of murderous intent was revealed. This shock was not trivial, Xu Haifengs cold sweat instantly soaked through his undershirt, he felt his hands and feet turn cold, his mind was in chaos, and he didnt know what to do.

  "Gentlemen, I have just received a decree from the Ministry of War. After our last great victory, it was reported back to the capital and His Majesty has issued an order, with rewards for each of you. Furthermore... " Gu Dao Yan swept his gaze over the crowd below, and Shi Po Tians voice trembled as he said: "His Imperial Majesty has already left the capital, this time he will personally lead the campaign, and come to the front lines in person. I hope that all of you can go all out, devote your hearts to killing the enemy, and under His Majestys wise guidance, we will completely drive the Romans back to their old home."

  "Oh......" The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they all shouted together, following Gu Daos lead in bowing down to the east, shouting: "Long live your majesty...long live...long long live..."
