Chapter 0791 – Selection Battle for the Banner Leader

The crowd was bustling in the Green Nether drill grounds today.

On top of the four Hall Masters of the Green Nether Hall, Li Qingpeng, Li Jinpan, and Zhao Xuanming from the other three halls were present as well. The Green Nether drill grounds had suddenly become the focal point of the Dragon's Fang Mountain Range.

This was only the surface of things. Beneath it, there were many that were also discreetly keeping track of the happenings here today. This included some of the elders from the other four lineages that were monitoring things through special means.

Under ordinary circumstances, a selection battle for the Banner Leader would not have attracted the interest of so many elders from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. However, this time was different. This was the first time Li Luo would be displaying his true strength in battle since his return.

Although he had shown his capabilities during the Fiendish Devil Cave expedition, that was not his individual strength. And everyone was bound to leave the Twenty Banners one day.

As such, his display of individual might was what was truly important.

Everyone was watching in anticipation of Li Luo's performance. Could he live up to his father's reputation in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li?

At the west side of the Green Nether drill grounds, on a huge training ground.

There was a lively crowd gathered here. Apart from the eight thousand members of the Green Nether Banner, the Sub Leaders of the other three banners had also arrived, led by Li Jingtao, Li Fengyi, and Deng Fengxian.

Search " for the original.

On the left side of the training ground was a tall platform where the Hall Masters sat. Zhong Yushi, Li Rouyun, and the other Green Nether Hall Masters were sitting in the center, as this was a Green Nether Hall event after all, while Zhao Xuanming, Li Qingpeng, Li Jinpan, and the other halls' Hall Masters sat by the side.

However, there was no sign of Li Jingzhe. After all, it was not befitting of his status to come to spectate a mere battle for the Banner Leader. In fact, his appearance would show his favoritism for Li Luo, and this might not be something that Li Luo wanted.

Nonetheless, the Hall Masters all knew that he was watching without being noticed by others. That would be an easy feat for him.

A moment later, Zhong Yushi stood up amidst the endless chattering of the crowd. He lifted his hand up, and the crowd quietened down immediately.

With a warm smile, he began, "Who would have thought that an ordinary selection battle for the Banner Leader would attract so much interest? It's been a long time since the Green Nether Hall has been so lively. Hahaha. Alright, no more nonsense. The Green Nether Banner's Banner Leader position has been vacant for a long time. It is not a good thing for us to have no leader, and today, it's finally time to select the representative who will lead us into the future. According to the rules, any Sub Leaders from the five divisions are eligible to compete for it. Those who are interested, please step forward." He ended with a gaze that swept over the front of the Green Nether Banner. At this moment, the others' attention had turned towards the front as well. It was where the five Sub Leaders were standing.

But the Sub Leaders of the second, third, and fourth divisions stayed silent without much emotion. They all knew that the position of Banner Leader was not meant for them. Before the arrival of Li Luo, they knew that Zhong Ling would be the one to become the Banner Leader, and he had been merely waiting for the time to come before he took up the position officially.

However, no one expected a dark horse like Li Luo to suddenly appear right before he could become the Banner Leader.

Although they were surprised with Li Luo being merely at the Fiend Palace Tier, his special background did make him a close competitor for the spot.

He had also shown them his capabilities over the past two months with the spectacular results achieved by the fifth division under his leadership. Clearly, he was not just relying on his illustrious background.

As such, Zhong Ling and Li Luo were the highlights for the selection fight. If they tried to intervene, they would only be asking for trouble.

Without any actions from their side, Zhong Ling of the first division took a step forward and flew up onto the stone platform. He stood upright like a spear with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Zhong Ling from the Green Nether Banner's first division, competing for the Banner Leader position!" he shouted in a deep voice.

At this instant, the first division banner members burst out in cheers for their leader.

Over at the fifth division side, Li Luo stretched his body a little.

"Come on, Sub Leader!" Zhao Yanzhi cheered with a charming smile. Today, she was donned in a purple satin dress that displayed her sexy and hot curves to the fullest. Like a gorgeous, blooming flower in the field, she attracted a lot of gazes from the crowd.

However, she paid no attention to them. Instead, she leaned close to Li Luo and whispered in his ear, "Sub Leader, if you win this, maybe I'll give you a surprise tonight."

When the crowd witnessed this, some were left pondering. Previously, this beauty among the four banners of the Dragon's Fang Lineage had always maintained a distance from others. But she was so close to Li Luo now. Could the two of them be together?

Usually, such words from an enchanting beauty would have given any man butterflies in their stomach. However, Li Luo was unfazed by this and simply responded, "You're lucky my fiancee is not around to hear that, or you would be deader than a doornail."

"I have serious doubts about whether this goddess of a fiancee you mentioned really exists, Sub Leader," Zhao Yanzhi replied as she curled her lips.

Li Luo took another look at her and replied with a smile, "I don't mind you using me to block the shots from the men that lust for you. As I have said, as long as you do things for me faithfully, we will be on the same team. But since you dislike contact with the opposite sex so much, there's no need for you to do it so deliberately and in the open. I won't want to have you secretly complaining when you head back."

Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhi's charming face turned slightly stiff, and she replied with dodgy eyes and a sarcastic tone, "Sub Leader, you are really a sensitive man, aren't you?"

Li Luo had no intention to blame her. After all, Zhao Yanzhi had grown up in an unpalatable environment and carried a lot of unpleasant memories. She was lacking a sense of security and was just trying to use him as a form of deterrence towards others lest anyone covet after her beauty.

"Actually, I don't feel so disgusted towards you as compared to other men," she explained.

"Thanks for the compliment," Li Luo responded with a grin. After this, he stopped chatting with her, and thunder suddenly flashed beneath his feet, propelling him forward. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing opposite Zhong Ling on the platform.

"I am Li Luo from the fifth division, and I would like to compete for the Banner Leader position as well," he said slowly.

Zhong Ling stared at him coldly as he retorted, "Sub Leader Li Luo, you are indeed talented, but you are too impatient. If you trained hard and waited for another six months, I would have had to give up the Banner Leader position to you."

"My time is too precious to wait another six months," Li Luo replied with a laugh.

If he wanted to rise up within the Dragon's Fang Lineage, he would need to secure the Green Nether Banner and get more opportunities for himself.

While half a year might be an insignificant time to others, it was much too long for him.

Seeing how his persuasion had failed, Zhong Ling responded with a hint of hostility in his eyes, "Well, let me see how you are going to fight against me with your Fiend Palace strength, then."

At this moment, Zhong Yushi stood on the high platform as he watched the two of them. With a wave of his hands, his powerful voice resonated through the audience.

"Zhong Ling from the first division and Li Luo from the fifth division will participate in the selection battle for the Green Nether Banner's Banner Leader position.

"I hope that the two of you will do your best and showcase the might of the Green Nether Banner to the crowd.

"Let's begin."

When he ended his sentence, the selection battle for the Banner Leader position officially kicked off.

The atmosphere in the crowd was boiling with excitement.
