Gacha pull: I obtained a god-level talent.

"Even I've only ever seen him on the news. He's the idol of all of us soldiers!"

"Oh, let's go then." Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, without much emotional fluctuation.

With his profession as a sword array master, he was confident that he could climb to the top of the world in the near future.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan's expression hadn't changed, Xia Chaoyang couldn't help but admire Zhang Yuan even more. He then drove Zhang Yuan to the city defense garrison in Xihu City.

Wan Chang'an has been teleported from Kyoto to Xihu City via the teleportation array and is currently waiting at the Xihu City Defense Command Headquarters.

At this time, the city's defense forces were on extremely tight guard. Xia Chaoyang led Zhang Yuan through numerous sentry posts and arrived outside the headquarters, where they saw two tall and straight soldiers standing outside the door.

Zhang Yuan used the Eye of the Abyss to investigate and found that the two soldiers at the entrance were both level 60 elite professionals.

'What a grand display!'

Zhang Yuan sighed inwardly. At this moment, Xia Chaoyang stepped forward, saluted, and reported loudly, "Reporting to the commander, Zhang Yuan has been brought here."

"Bring him in."

A strong voice came from the headquarters. Xia Chaoyang suppressed his excitement and whispered to Zhang Yuan, "Kid, let's go in. This is a great opportunity for you. Make the most of it."

"Ah."

Zhang Yuan nodded calmly and walked into the headquarters. Inside, he saw several soldiers in dark green uniforms, one of whom, a middle-aged man, exuded an unparalleled and terrifying aura.

The moment Zhang Yuan saw the middle-aged man, he knew that he was Wan Chang'an, whose strength was no less than Bai Zhengguo's.

Even if the Abyss boss Odis were here, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a slap from Wan Chang'an!

Just by turning around, Wan Chang'an's sharp gaze made Xia Chaoyang's legs go weak.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan remained unmoved, Wan Chang'an nodded slightly, "Not bad."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Chang'an suddenly raised his hand, and a sharp longsword appeared out of thin air, turning into a golden light and piercing towards Zhang Yuan, its terrifying power sweeping outwards!

"Chi Xiao."

Zhang Yuan let out a soft utterance, and Chi Xiao appeared out of thin air.

Skill: Parry Instinct!

clang! ! !

Wan Chang'an's sword was deflected by Chi Xiao.

A deathly silence fell over the headquarters.

At that moment, everyone was stunned, including Wan Chang'an.

No one could have imagined that Zhang Yuan, who was only level 18, could perfectly block Wan Chang'an's attack!

This is absolutely outrageous!

“Zhang, Zhang Yuan, you…” Xia Chaoyang, who was standing to the side, was pale. He stared blankly at Zhang Yuan, his mind completely blank.

At this moment, Wan Chang'an was also unable to hold back. He originally wanted to test Zhang Yuan's reaction. If Zhang Yuan could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he would take the opportunity to praise Zhang Yuan a couple of times and give him a reward to win Zhang Yuan's favor.

But to his utter surprise, his sword was deflected by Zhang Yuan!

Although Wan Chang'an knew that Zhang Yuan must have used some kind of skill that guaranteed a perfect block, with so many subordinates watching, he couldn't possibly make amends for himself.

"Cough cough..."

Wan Chang'an coughed twice to ease the awkwardness, then nodded to Zhang Yuan and said, "Good lad, you are indeed impressive. You were able to block my sword. No wonder Old Bai praised you so highly."

"I only used a skill that guarantees a successful block; it was all by chance, nothing to brag about," Zhang Yuan replied with a slight bow, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I see."

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Xia Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief.

The towering image of Wan Chang'an in his mind almost collapsed.

At this moment, everyone else in the command post also had an expression of sudden realization.

That makes sense. If it weren't for skill, Zhang Yuan would never have been able to block Wan Chang'an's sword.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan had taken the initiative to explain and helped him save face, Wan Chang'an was more and more satisfied with Zhang Yuan. He immediately took out a pair of boots from his storage space and handed them to Zhang Yuan, saying, "Although you blocked my sword with your skills, your performance has far exceeded my expectations. These boots have been with me for many years, and now I'm giving them to you."
