Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

366 - Convinced

“Commander, I am willing to join the team. I am different from them. I am a rogue cultivator with no ties.”

I originally came here to improve my cultivation and make contributions. As long as I fight for the commander, I don't care what I do.

Besides, you wouldn't just push us into a fire pit, especially since you're throwing away such valuable equipment and supplies without batting an eye. Heh heh... I, Yu Zhiwen, am selling my life to you..."

A stir ran through the crowd as they turned their attention to Yu Zhiwen, a thin man with a small mustache.

“Me too, Brother Yu. From today onwards, you and I will be the two henchmen of the Commander. I’m just a rogue cultivator, what am I afraid of? Haha…” Lu Quanshui laughed heartily and stood next to Yu Zhiwen.

The other eight started whispering among themselves, looking like they were ready to be beaten up by the two traitors!

Shangguan Yun nodded. "Alright, since you two heroes have come to this conclusion, I will naturally keep my word. Here... each of you take a set of equipment and try out the armor to see if it fits."

As he spoke, Shangguan Yun waved his hand, and two sets of equipment, including pills, a black iron sword, a black iron shield, and a storage bag, were placed on the table in front of the two of them.

Overjoyed, the two quickly followed the most basic method in the cultivation world, each dripping a drop of blood onto their armor and then infusing it with their magical power.

The armor flashed with a golden light and was instantly fully donned, from the helmet to the neck guards, breastplate, back armor, belt, shoulder guards, wrist guards, elbow guards, knee guards, and all the way down to the boots, all shimmering with a golden-blue light.

"Hahaha...This is amazing..."

Yu Zhiwen and Lu Quanshui instantly gained a powerful aura, like golden-armored gods. Despite only having the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining, they now felt as if they could fight an opponent who was at the late stage of Qi Refining without being defeated.

The two then put the Xuan Tie sword, Xuan Tie shield, and three bottles of pills into their storage bags, clasped their hands in a fist salute to Shangguan Yun, and flashed to stand on either side of Shangguan Yun, looking quite imposing.

This was quite a surprise. Those who had originally hoped to get a good price couldn't sit still anymore, and Wang Xueli rushed forward in one stride.

“Commander, our Huashan Sect doesn’t have so many rules. I can join our cultivation team on my own behalf.”

But... hehe, you know, after I reach Foundation Establishment, could you get me a decent flying sword? You know, we Huashan sword cultivators value flying swords the most... I..."

"Get out of my way, you're still a long way from Foundation Establishment, stop talking nonsense..."

Liu Zhilei and Zhao Guangyu kicked Wang Xueli away, then turned around and immediately changed their expressions, drooling as they approached him.

"We're both fine, but I was wondering how many sets of your armor you have left? Is that enough to count the points?"

The remaining people were shocked to hear this, thinking how they could have forgotten this point. Such a precious item, even the commander might not have enough. What if there weren't enough to go around?

Damn, then the group, including Kong Lingchen, stopped being gentlemen and charged forward like wolves, not forgetting to kick the comrade next to them.

Ten minutes later, each of the ten people received a set of equipment and finally went off to admire themselves, completely satisfied.

Zheng Xin finally couldn't hold back any longer and fidgeted, twisting her waist as she moved closer.

"Ahem, um... Commander..."

"Oh? Young Master Zheng, is there something you need...?"

"Um... I think I just heard you mention something about a Silver Team, flying swords, and stuff like that..."

Hehe... As you know, this sword of mine... I've been using it for quite a while, and it's a bit malfunctioning. Also, my cultivation has improved recently; I've just reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Ah, hehe..." Zheng Xin stammered a bit.

"Oh! Congratulations, Young Hero Zheng! You've actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage! Congratulations!"

Alright... everyone try out your equipment. If everything's okay, go back and rest. We'll assign you tasks later, and you really need to focus on training the parachuting... Alright, everyone disperse..." With that, the crowd scattered.

Shangguan Yun also began packing up the tents and tables and chairs, leaving Zheng Xin staring wide-eyed with a sullen expression.

It wasn't that Shangguan Yun was stingy; he just wanted to tease this little girl.

Since Shangguan Yun was assassinated at Dashiqiao, and Zheng Xin intervened and followed Shangguan Yun back, the two haven't really had much interaction.

Moreover, Zheng Xin often felt resentful because Shangguan Yun's cultivation level was higher than hers, and secretly looked down on Shangguan Yun, this kind of young master.

The two lacked in-depth communication, so Shangguan Yun took the opportunity to spend more time with her and chat about everyday things.

Because if any major events happen in the future, Zheng Xin, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, can be of great help to Shangguan Yun.

And to be honest, Shangguan Yun still had a good impression of Zheng Xin. How should I put it, since Song Xiaoyun fell into a coma, Shangguan Yun hadn't been with a woman for a long time.

This feeling... goes without saying... everyone understands...

As for the equipment, although exchanging for a set would require a lot of merit points, Shangguan Yun didn't care when it came to important matters!
