Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 258: Their respective plans (New book has been released, please support!)

Jiang Xuan had just seen this captain in Qizhou City. Not long after he and Instructor Liu left the Qizhou Martial Arts School, he saw this captain in a street market.

At that time, the captain behaved very politely and even greeted Instructor Liu with a bit of attentiveness. However, his greetings were ignored by Instructor Liu.

After that, Jiang Xuan saw a kind of helplessness on the captain's face, and then Jiang Xuan sensed a kind of subtle hostility in his expression when he looked at him.

After being ignored by Instructor Liu, the captain quickly walked in front of Jiang Xuan and Instructor Liu, and then disappeared.

It was not until he saw the captain here that Jiang Xuan realized that the captain had actually arrived here in a hurry.

However, at that time, the captain was not wearing full body armor, so when Jiang Xuan saw him at the observation post here, it took him some effort to recognize him.

"How did he know that I was going to the forest north of the city?" Jiang Xuan had this question in his mind.

However, Jiang Xuan at this moment could not care about this question and could only put it aside temporarily.

He was expecting the captain to continue the previous topic.

"Since Junior Brother Ling just had a duel with the observation sentry here, proving that he truly possesses the strength of a Heavenly Rank warrior, it's natural that he has the potential to enter the Great Forest north of the city."

"However, in order to ensure Junior Brother Ling's safety, and also considering the extremely dangerous situation in the Great Forest at this time, if Junior Brother Ling cannot reach the peak of the Heavenly Rank, it is best not to go there."

This captain has always called Jiang Xuan "junior brother", which means he does not acknowledge his identity as a top warrior.

However, because Jiang Xuan had anticipated this, he was not surprised, nor was he angry. He just wanted to take advantage of the situation and have a good fight with the captain.

In fact, even if there was no danger in the forest at this time, the captain, as the commander of the observation post, was qualified to decide which warriors could enter and which could not.

Now, it seems that something really happened in the forest. Although it was not as exaggerated as what the captain said, it did give the captain a good excuse.

However, Jiang Xuan didn't care about these at all. What he cared about was how the captain said that.

"Thank you for your concern, Captain. In your opinion, can I enter the Great Forest north of the city at this time?"

Jiang Xuan took another step forward and decided to put some pressure on the captain.

"Since he knows my identity, he still refuses to acknowledge my strength as a top warrior. His intentions are obvious." Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

"As I just said, Junior Brother Ling needs to have the strength of a peak warrior to safely enter the Great Forest. This is definitely for Junior Brother Ling's consideration. Please don't blame me."

The captain still looked as if he was concerned about Jiang Xuan and said to him.

"I am deeply touched by your careful consideration. I wonder if you have any way for me to prove my strength?" Jiang Xuan looked very touched.

"Look, what should we do?" The captain looked to be in a dilemma.

Suddenly, the captain came up with an idea: "I am a peak warrior. If Junior Brother Ling is willing, I would like to have a brief sparring match with Junior Brother Ling so as not to waste too much of his time. How about that?"

"Well... then let's do as the Captain says." Jiang Xuan was ecstatic, but his face showed a bit of embarrassment. "The fun is about to begin!" Jiang Xuan shouted excitedly in his heart.

The captain probably felt the same as Jiang Xuan at this moment, and both were very happy.

He was a top martial artist and had participated in the Five States Martial Arts Show. Although he had not personally watched the competition of Ling Honghe, a martial artist from Fuzhou, he had heard some news about Ling Honghe at the Five States Martial Arts Show.

However, when he participated in the Five States Martial Arts Competition, he signed up as a top-level warrior. This means that although he and Ling Honghe are both top-level warriors, they are in completely different situations.

This captain had long been promoted to the ranks of top warriors, and in his opinion, Ling Honghe was just lucky enough to be promoted to the ranks of top warriors during the Five States Martial Arts Show.

In this way, he thought that Ling Honghe was just a name, and compared with himself, a warrior who had already reached the peak level, Ling Honghe was still far behind.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Ling Honghe because of some things before, at this moment, the captain was ecstatic as if he had gotten a great bargain.

"As both of us are peak warriors, Ling Honghe's strength is definitely far inferior to mine. This way, I can teach him a lesson openly and honestly, and no one will accuse me of bullying the weak."

The captain's mind was already calculating.

Although Jiang Xuan couldn't hear what the captain was thinking at the moment, he could vaguely guess what it was.

"This guy must have underestimated me a lot. I will let him taste the feeling of underestimating his opponent later." Jiang Xuan thought of this and felt secretly happy again.

"Junior Brother Ling, please." The captain's face was full of politeness again, but within this politeness, it was difficult to hide a hint of excitement.

"Please come in, Captain." Jiang Xuan seemed extremely calm at this moment, as if he didn't care.

The captain slowly walked to the position where the soldier was before and stood there calmly.

Somehow, within a few breaths after the captain stood still, the soldiers standing in the distance all moved away from their original viewing positions.

The two soldiers holding spears returned to the entrance of the canyon, while the remaining soldiers walked further away to disperse some warriors who had gathered nearby.

Some warriors were led by the soldiers directly into the canyon, while another group of warriors who were unwilling to enter the canyon immediately were guided to a street market farther away, or even back to the inn.

Soon, all the warriors nearby were evacuated.

At this moment, there was no one else within a mile of Jiang Xuan and the captain.

And all this seemed to have nothing to do with the captain.

He just stood there quietly, as if nothing had happened.

"Junior Brother Ling, please come in." At this moment, the captain's tone also underwent some obvious changes.

Jiang Xuan naturally heard the change, but he didn't care. He looked at the captain in the distance and said casually, "Captain, please."
