Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 648: Chapter 303: Overpowering the Competition_2

But now…

“How long has it been? Just over two months?”

Jing Jing couldn’t believe it. Two months ago, he was just a newly awakened Four Senses user. Had he really reached the Fifth Sense in just two months? Was this some kind of international joke?

Such speed, damn it, how was this possible?

Even the offspring of the first generation Divine Son, with the potential for bloodline reverting to the ancestors, didn’t have such a promotion speed!

Meanwhile, in a building at the edge of the distant plaza, several competent Spiritual Ability Users were also watching from a window.

“Is that… Lord Di Yun?”

“His lordship truly possesses a celestial nature, the grace of dragons and phoenixes. He will undoubtedly lead us to victory.”

“You speak well,” Bai Ya, dressed in a charging outfit, said with a smile as he watched the Divine Chosen One in the distance.

On the other side, Li Yelai naturally didn’t know the spectators’ attitudes. He ascended the stairs and arrived beneath the Hero Monument, standing in front of the doll.

In such a solemn occasion, the doll wasn’t dressed in its usual costume but had switched to this attire, less gentle and cute, and more severe and valiant.

But Li Yelai could still see the girl’s slightly curved eyebrows through the gap in the helmet.

“Congratulations, Xiao Ye,” the girl whispered gently.

“Thank you,” Li Yelai replied quietly.

Then, after Li Yelai swore an oath to the Hero Monument,

The doll took a set of lamellar shoulder guards out of a wooden box beside her.

These were shoulder guards crafted from Extraordinary Material, their value not in their defensive power but in what they symbolized.

Each recipient was a powerful warrior on the human side, a reliable comrade.

The doll stepped forward on tiptoe and draped the shoulder guard over Li Yelai.

Her movements gentle, like a wife fixing a tie for her husband as he leaves home.

But the moment the shoulder guard settled, all the spectators’ expressions changed.

Many Spiritual Ability Users suddenly stood up, their eyes reflecting disbelief.

It was a Golden Woven Armor!

In the tradition of Border City, those who wore Golden Woven Armor over their black coats were Captain Level powerhouses!

“Golden Woven Shoulder Guard!”

“He is a Captain Level powerhouse?”

“A Fifth Sense Captain Level?”

“So it is! The last one who gained Captain Level authority and status at Fifth Sense was the doll. So, she is passing on the new Fifth Sense Captain Level power!”

“Nigth General, actually has Captain Level power?”

“What is his background, why haven’t we found out about him before? Does he hail from some family?”

The spectators were extremely surprised, even the official members were somewhat amazed.

Starfire and others who had come to watch the ceremony hadn’t expected that their good buddy would transform into a captain.

“This… as a captain, can he still take private jobs?” the Detective stammered.

“Give it a rest!” Starfire said with a headache, “Stop worrying about your damn private jobs! Brother Ye has become a captain, would it still make sense for him to accept them?”

It wasn’t until someone quietly mentioned, “The point is, he comes from Champion Team One! He’s a Captain Level in Champion Team One!”

Being a Captain Level in the Champion Team meant, did that not signify, he was the Champion Agent!

Many now looked at Li Yelai with different eyes, a Captain Level powerhouse possessed not only immense strength but also significant authority.

And being a captain of the Champion Team meant having the authority to command the team.

A Fifth Sense achieving such an honor, this Night General was definitely not a common being!

“Very good!” someone chuckled softly, “Now, with a Fifth Sense acting as a Champion Agent, it will definitely provide an opportunity for the youths to compete properly!”

“Let’s challenge him to see the worth of the Champion Agent!”

Some young talents from distant families or giant cities appeared eager.

A graceful young lady took out a guzheng, and a naïve young boy gripped his treasure sword.

A suave family heir drew a massive war blade from the Soul Well…

Challenging the Eighth Generation Champion, naturally, they couldn’t. That was a title for overlords, the strongest contenders.

But this Fifth Sense Night General, who was of similar age to them, was an optimal choice!

Moreover, as a Fifth Sense known as a Captain Level, he possessed strength comparable to the Sixth Sense.

This inspired many youths with competitive ambitions.

Jing Jing’s face was extremely ugly, his expression fluctuating wildly.

She had never imagined that this wretched boy could grow to such extents!

Fifth Sense Captain Level, and even a Champion Agent… Could it be that he was the hidden Champion Inheritor of Champion Team One?

Yet he was clearly no more than wastrel, how could he achieve such honor?

There must be some mistake!

Of course, some also directed their gaze toward Champion Team One. They hoped to discern some secrets from their expressions.

The comrades from Champion Team One were equally surprised.

As the newly promoted Sixth-sense Expert with deputy captain authority, Zu Chao was completely dumbfounded.

Immediately, this Sixth-sense Expert led a round of applause.

It seemed he didn’t care that a status he, as a Sixth-sense Expert, couldn’t attain was obtained by the Five Senses Night General.

“Aren’t you upset, Mr. Zu Chao?” a Spiritual Ability User from another Giant City asked, “You are the strongest under the Champion; it should have been you who became the captain.”

“What’s there to be upset about?” Zu Chao chuckled, “You don’t know how outstanding he is. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and naturally, the greater the authority! He truly deserves it!”

Meanwhile, inside a distant building, the people of the Ember Church were stunned.

“Lord Di Yun… became a Champion Agent?” an elite church member rubbed his eyes and binoculars hard, unbelievingly.

The others still wore stupefied expressions, but after a brief shock, what followed was ecstasy!

That’s Champion Team One, the greatest enemy of the Blood God Faction!

As a result, Lord Di Yun, acting undercover, became the Champion Agent! He directly gained power over their greatest enemy!

Hahaha!

Lord Di Yun had just returned to Giant City, and he already became the boss of Team One. How could the Chaos believers not be thrilled and excited?

“Quick, send the news back!” Bai Ya felt an overwhelming surge of emotions, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Both Chosen of the Dual Gods had become Champion Agents, thus success was just around the corner!

“Let’s celebrate for the great Emperor’s Fall Chosen!”

…

On the other side, Li Yelai was similarly feeling overwhelmed.

What’s with the Golden Woven Shoulder Guard?

Li Yelai only knew that today was his Armament Ceremony, and after the ceremony, he would be among the elite of the Elite Night Patrol.

He would be the cream of the crop in Champion Team One.

During this special time, it was quite possible that challenges from other families and Giant Cities would arise.

After all, with the reputation and track record of Champion Team One, who wouldn’t want to experience a match with Team One?

Yun Yan had specifically analyzed with him that he might be challenged on the spot.

If possible, it would be best for Li Yelai to accept and win.

After all, since the officials were holding the Armament Ceremony so solemnly, they likely had this in mind.

They wished to make a name for Li Yelai.

Li Yelai, as the Night General, indeed did not have a notable reputation within Giant City.

If he accepted a challenge and secured victory, his name as the Night General would also enter the sight of major families and Giant Cities.

Of course, Li Yelai did not want to lose; representing Champion Team One, he would strive for victory.

But now, this surprise was a bit excessive, even somewhat scary.

He, as the person involved, was the last to know that he had become a Champion Agent.

Does… Captain Yang Chen know? Are the other comrades satisfied?

Li Yelai, having become the esteemed Chosen of the Dual Gods, could be indifferent. After all, he thought all of it was fake since he was going undercover.

But becoming a Champion Agent put great pressure on him.

That’s Champion Team One, the blade of humanity!

“Come on, Captain Night General,” the Doll whispered.

This calling brought Li Yelai back to his senses.

Yes, he had already made up his mind…

Li Yelai chuckled and pulled out the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd from the Soul Well.

As he turned to look at the crowd below, his eyes glittered with gold, resembling an ancient giant dragon gazing down on the masses.

“So, who is the challenger?”

His calm voice fell from the high platform, causing many challengers’ eyelids to twitch.

“What a guy!” Ye Han from Kunlun Giant City showed a smile.

Jing Liang, a descendant of the Divine Blood of the Jing Family, also brightened up.

Before, Li Yelai’s demeanor was quite ordinary and inconspicuous.

But the moment he grabbed his weapon, the overwhelming unmasked intent to battle swept over everyone like a tsunami.

The air was thick with the scent of blood as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood were right in front of them!

This was a battle intent forged through carnage!

This Champion Agent was no simple man!

Those who would lose, would lose miserably!

The elegant young girl put down her zither, and the innocent young boy released his treasure sword.

The graceful family young master cut a fruit with his saber and then returned it to the Soul Well.

For a moment, no one responded to his battle intent.

He…

Dominated the strong!
