“What do you all think of my trained army?”

At the stage, Lu Yuan smiled and asked the surrounding officials and gentry who had been stunned and slandered him for selling official titles these days.

“A true iron army.”

“In just a few days, with such military power, the County Captain Lu’s ability to manage the army is admirable.”

“With this army, Sun County Magistrate can rest assured on his trip to Wugang.”

Even if they were not well-versed in military affairs, just seeing this momentum, the officials and gentry at the scene knew that this was absolutely an iron army that dared to fight and dared to kill, so they couldn’t help but praise it.

“Haha! Thank you for your high praise.”

Lu Yuan couldn’t help laughing loudly when he heard the praises. At this time, he wore armor and a red cloak.

With a wave of his wide sleeve, the cloak fluttered, and he leaped onto a well-prepared steed.

On horseback, the steed let out a long roar while Lu Yuan loudly said, “The soldiers are in full spirits, making everyone amazed. As the County Captain, I’m not too shabby either. Please watch!”

With that said, he rode his steed, running back and forth on the drill ground, holding a two-stone Iron Bow in his hand.

While galloping, he aimed at the targets on the drill ground and shot seven continuous arrows. Under perfect archery skills, every arrow hit the bull’s eye.

This divine archery immediately caused a sensation on the stage.

Not only the officials and gentry but also the soldiers lined up below were dumbfounded at the sight.

These soldiers were Mountain People, and they often went hunting in the mountains, so they were well-versed in archery.

At this moment, seeing their County Captain’s divine archery, they were all greatly shocked. Only those who were insiders knew how difficult it was to achieve such archery skills.

Instantaneously.

Their awe of Lu Yuan shifted from fear of his official position to respect for his strength.

It was like this in the army – everything was based on strength.

Among the more than 300 soldiers on the scene, none could achieve Lu Yuan’s level of divine archery when asking themselves.

With that being the case, it was only natural for them to feel admiration and awe.

Even the catch officers and inspectors who had bought their way in were not useless. Among them, there were quite a few capable martial artists from Jianghu.

Originally, they respected the cunning Lu Yuan, who had entered through Sun

County Magistrate’s back door, on the surface, but scoffed and cursed at him in private, lamenting that Sun County Magistrate’s reputation had been ruined by his treacherous friend.

But now, seeing his divine archery, they were all amazed with their mouths hanging open.

A villain who they thought relied on connections suddenly became a powerful person relying on his own ability, and such a huge change of image was bound to be surprising.

It was as if their worldviews were being overturned.

At this time, any contempt they had in their hearts vanished into thin air.

Any small thoughts they had were also restrained.

But that wasn’t the end.

After showing his superb riding and shooting skills, Lu Yuan patted the horse’s back, and then the whole person soared into the air. At the same time, the Long Sword was drawn out from his waist and slashed diagonally toward a huge bluestone on the drill ground.

The sword’s aura was cold, and with a flash of white light, the huge, heavy bluestone was split in half and rolled to both sides.

Looking at the smooth cut in the middle, one could see that it was as smooth as a mirror, without any flaws.

The soldiers knew how heavy the bluestone was from their daily training in the drill ground. It was a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds.

But now, such a heavy object was easily split by their County Captain’s sword.

This level of swordsmanship, for the ordinary soldiers, was shocking and incredible.

It was hard for these people of Mountain People origins, with their limited experience, to imagine that there were people in the world with such strength.

Didn’t this seem no different from the immortals in the legends?

After breaking the bluestone with his sword, Lu Yuan returned his sword to its sheath, glanced at the expressions of the soldiers, smiled slightly in his heart, and secretly delighted.

The reason he put on this show today was not merely to show off his martial arts prowess.

‘After seeing my strength, the originally restless and disobedient military hearts should be much more stable. From now on, it might be a bit exaggerated to say that I will have full control over their actions, but defiance of military orders is basically out of the question.’

This extraordinary world has this advantage.

You don’t need to control power directly. As long as you have a strong force, even the most ambitious people can only restrain their thoughts and obediently follow orders in the face of the gap in individual strength.

It was like this now.

‘And those gentry and masters, their attitudes should change a bit too, right?’

Lu Yuan glanced at the stage and walked towards it, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Unlike the opinions of ordinary people.

Those who practiced martial arts or had slightly more experience, after seeing Lu Yuan’s swordsmanship, recognized what level of power it was and were even more shocked.

“Brother Zhang, you are a third-rate expert in Jianghu. Can you figure out what level Lu County Captain’s swordsmanship is?”

In the crowd of officials and gentry on the stage, an old gentleman dressed as a gentry pushed a nearby catch officer and asked curiously.

Inspector Zhang had always boasted that he was the number one martial expert in the county and had a low opinion of other martial artists in the county. He was incredibly arrogant.

But after seeing Lu Yuan’s swordsmanship and hearing the question, he swallowed his saliva and said dryly, “If we only talk about swordsmanship, County Captain Lu’s sword skill isn’t even an entry-level.”

However, discussing his inner strength, it can be described as the first in Changning County, no, the first in Hengyang Prefecture.

When the specialist spoke, the people nearby couldn’t help gasping and being awed.

As gentry, they naturally knew that the chief catcher and commander of Hengyang Prefecture were second -rate experts in Jianghu, who were capable of establishing their own sects.

But even these two, in Zhang the Catch Officer’s eyes, had less inner strength than County Captain Lu.

Doesn’t that mean that County Captain Lu belongs to the very strong group among second-rate experts?

What a second-rate expert represents, no one knew better than them.

That was a position in Jianghu comparable to or even surpassing that of county magistrates.

They had always thought that Sun Siwen forging a friendship with Lu Yuan was a step down and self-degradation.

But now, it seemed that it wasn’t self-degradation at all.

This was nothing short of recognizing talent, like a dragon refusing to dance with snakes. Only these two outstanding young men could play together and become good friends.

With such a powerful friend, what danger could there be on this trip to Wugang County?

If only relying on County Captain Lu, he could directly crush his opponents with his immense strength, right?

In contrast, they were short-sighted and made fools of themselves.

Everyone’s minds were turning, and unconsciously, after Lu Yuan successively demonstrated his powerful archery and inner strength, many people’s impressions and attitudes had changed..
