Chapter 74: Establishing Prestige
"The Mountain is High~"
"The Water is Long~"
"The Angry Whale~"
"The Powerful~"
< br>
Accompanied by the sailors' loud slogans one after another, the warships moored at the dock raised their sails one after another.
One long oar thrust into the water and rowed backwards in unison.
Woo~
Then, the majestic horn sound spread in all directions!
Under the gaze of countless people, warships filled with sailors and warriors left their berths and filed into the Tianma River.
The most eye-catching one among them is undoubtedly the Jinglan, which rushes to the front.
Its huge hull is like a towering hill, riding the wind and waves all the way, with its battle flags flapping in the wind.
Everyone knows that the dispatch of this battleship means that a big war is coming!
I don’t know which family will be in bad luck.
Click!
An unsightly fishing boat happened to block the Jinglan's channel. The fishermen on the boat hurriedly tried to change direction, but the former crushed it mercilessly.
The Jinglan's bow was equipped with a metal ram, and the fishing boat was shattered like paper under its impact.
The fishermen screamed and fell into the fast river.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was silent, and even the nearby fishermen did not dare to help.
It can only be left to save itself.
As the well-deserved overlord of the Tianma River, the Raging Whale Gang once again showed its sharp fangs.
This is a warning and a demonstration!
Zhang Yuan, together with dozens of disciples from the Zhantang Youth League, watched the fleet go upstream and disappear from sight.
As a low-level member of Linhe Branch, Zhang Yuan’s news channels are very narrow.
His understanding of the movements of the gang's upper echelons was limited to his own observations and the few words revealed by Chen Zhize.
Linhe's big move was foreshadowed before.
However, the scale is really unexpected.
Although the whereabouts and goals of this fleet were not disclosed above, it took away most of the combat power of Linhe Branch.
The plot must be huge!
After the fleet left, Zhang Yuan and others also returned to Whale Castle.
Since the morning, Whale Castle, together with Wuzhuang and Riverside Wharf, have all entered a state of alert.
The ten teams of the Zhantang Youth League patrol in different areas at different times.
Now Zhang Yuan's life is no longer as free and relaxed as before.
Although the patrol task is not tiring.
But you can't rest after finishing it. You have to practice the sword formation in the grand martial arts arena.
The Wrathful Whale Gang's Wave-Cut Sword Formation is famous, and it once had a very brilliant record. It has been passed down for hundreds of years, and now it has formed a strict training system.
The Wave-Chopping Sword Formation is not limited to the specific number of people. Three or five people can form an formation, and a hundred or ten people are also no problem.
The Seventh Patrol Team where Zhang Yuan belonged, under the leadership of captain Zheng Hong, practiced sword skills over and over again.
After two days, the teenagers gradually developed a tacit understanding.
The sword formation showed its power.
But whether it can be used at critical moments still needs to be tested in actual combat.
On the third day after the Raging Whale Fleet left, there was still no news coming back.
The teenagers of the 7th Guards were practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts arena and were very upset and agitated. Several of them looked like they were not in their right mind.
In fact, we can’t blame them.
Because many of these people’s relatives and elders followed the fleet to participate in the war.
There has been no news so far, which inevitably makes me feel uneasy.
Although the Raging Whale Gang is powerful, it is not invincible and has encountered huge crises in the past.
The origin of the enemy this time is unknown, and no one dares to say that he will be able to defeat him.
In contrast, Zhang Yuan, who is not a direct descendant, is much calmer and calmer.
"Zhang Yuan!" Xu Zhengchao from the same team suddenly jumped out, pointed at Zhang Yuan and said, "Do you dare to compete with me?"
Xu Zhengchao is Xu Zhengyang’s cousin. The relationship between the two is very close, not much different from real brothers.
Some time ago, Xu Zhengyang was so suppressed by Zhang Yuan, a boy from the mountain village that he could not hold his head up. It almost became a laughing stock within Linhe Branch and made the Xu family lose face.
Although Xu Zhengyang vowed to use his own strength to wash away his shame, the elders of the Xu family did not have the shame to bully a new disciple.
But as Xu Zhengyang’s elder brother, Xu Zhengchao disliked Zhang Yuan no matter what.
He believed that his strength was superior to that of Xu Zhengyang, so he couldn't help but want to show off with Zhang Yuan.
I can’t bear it now!
The captain Zheng Hong saw this and did not stop him.
First of all, normal discussions between disciples are not only allowed, but also worthy of strong encouragement.
Secondly, the Xu family is powerful, and Zheng Hong is not even the incense owner, so naturally he does not dare to offend easily.
In addition, he was also prepared to intervene at the end.
As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone!
Seeing that Zheng Hong was silent, other teenagers immediately gathered around him.
They basically sided with Xu Zhengchao, and most hoped that the latter could teach Zhang Yuan a lesson.
In the Seventh Patrol Team, Zhang Yuan does not fit in with others and has no friends!
"Discussion?"
Zhang Yuan put away the Yanling knife and glanced at Xu Zhengchao who was eager to try.
To be honest, he hated this Xu family member who wore his arrogance on his face even more than Xu Zhengyang.
Zhang Yuan was isolated in the 7th Guards, and it was entirely Xu Zhengchao's fault.
Zhang Yuan didn't care about this - lions don't associate with hyenas.
"Are you sure?"
Zhang Yuan's teasing expression immediately angered the arrogant Xu Zhengchao.
He took a step forward and asked in a cold voice: "Are you afraid?"
Zhang Yuan smiled: "I'm afraid that others will say that I bully you!"
Part 2 For a moment, he tightened his grip on the long knife in his hand.
The muscles all over the body tightened instantly, and the tyrannical strength penetrated into the bones and muscles, instantly showing on the surface of the muscles!
Clang!
The Yan Ling Dao in Zhang Yuan's hand trembled.
This sword is not his own hundred-forged long sword, but a weapon without an edge that is specially used for practice.
However, under Zhang Yuan's sudden burst of force, it actually showed its sharp edge!
"Second level dark power!"
Zheng Hong blurted out, the shock in his eyes was indescribable.
The captain never expected that Zhang Yuan's cultivation level would reach the second level.
In fact, he himself is also a dark warrior.
Zhang Yuan has been under Zheng Hong for several days. If you observe carefully, you can definitely see the clues.
Zheng Hong immediately realized that he had made a mistake.
Or maybe he didn’t pay attention to Zhang Yuan, which led to such an omission!
But what shocked Zheng Hong even more was that Zhang Yuan actually made the unsharpened Yan Ling Dao resonate with his strength.
This means that Zhang Yuan also has profound attainments in sword skills.
Zhang Yuan said just now that he was afraid of criticism from others, but he was really not bragging!
Xu Zhengchao is at the peak of Ming Jin's strength.
Although this descendant of the Xu family is not far from a breakthrough, there is still a gap between the first level and the second level.
He was completely humiliating himself by sparring with Zhang Yuan!
Of course Xu Zhengchao himself understood this, and his face turned blue and red, red and blue again.
He really wanted to fight Zhang Yuan at all costs.
But a challenge that is doomed to fail will never be rewarded with admiration and appreciation.
Xu Zhengchao suddenly realized that he might have become the target of Zhang Yuan's power.
But he asked for it!
The other teenagers were completely dumbfounded at this moment.
