He wouldn’t waste effort doing things that the lackeys could handle!
What the heck, what kind of domineering attitude was that?
Hearing his words, everyone completely broke down.
One must know that normally speaking, in the warrior department, it was always the Honorary Aristocrats themselves who were the strongest. Therefore, during challenges, they would definitely fight personally. If they depended on their subordinates to fight for them, whose fault would it be if their subordinate lost?
“This Hong Dali, he isn’t really planning on asking his lackey to fight, right? That’s too daring of him.”
“That’s right, normally speaking, no matter how strong the subordinate is, the Honorary Aristocrat himself is still the strongest, right? Those are the Double Aristocrats, the lowest level that he has to challenge is already the Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrats. It can’t be that this Hong Dali will think that his lackeys are a match for them, right?”
“Who knows, but honestly speaking, I am indeed quite curious. Hey, do you think that his lackeys will really win?”
“Win your bird, the Yellow and Green-level Honorary Aristocrats are at least Fourth-Order Planet Warriors and even practiced the martial arts secret manuals. Although they haven’t learned to control the dark energy yet, they are definitely not weak. If he asks his lackeys to fight, isn’t that akin to asking them to suicide?”
Of course, although some of them were discussing this, most of them were just curious.
They were curious if this Hong Dali really dared to ask his subordinates to go and fight the other Honorary Aristocrats?
“Dali.” Jiang Dongliu knew that Dali’s combat might was quite good because he had seen the battle between Dali and Feiyun with his own eyes. However, Hong Dali’s intention seemed to be to ask his subordinates to fight instead? Would that work? Jiang Dongliu hurriedly asked, “Are you sure that you want to ask your subordinates to fight for you? This is the advancement assessment, not something unimportant.”
“Of course, my lackeys are very reliable.” Hong Dali grinned and said, “Grandfather Jiang, just tell me if this is doable or not. You don’t need to worry about other matters.”
“This…” Jiang Dongliu touched his beard. Normally, the Aristocrats would fight personally during the advancement assessments, but there was indeed no rule that said that their subordinates couldn’t fight for them. Therefore, Jiang Dongliu could only nod and say, “Since you have already decided, then so be it.”
Since Jiang Dongliu nodded, it was taken that Hong Dali had agreed to Li Xuancheng’s request too. Then, there wasn’t a need to hesitate anymore, everyone moved started to move to the battle arena!
Leaving the hall for the assessment for the business department, Hong Dali shouted for his lackeys, “Lackeys, hurry up and gather. We shall start the next event now, let’s go to the battle arena!”
After he shouted this, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, Ling Xiaoyi, and the others all gathered around. They grinned and asked, “Dali, how is it? Did anyone bully you?”
“Young Master, is everything okay?”
“Of course it’s okay.” Hong Dali grinned and took a look at Ling Xiaoyi. “With Sister Xiaoyi’s arrangement, how would I suffer any loss?”
This was Hong Dali’s team.
All of them were very trustworthy. Because of Ling Xiaoyi, Hong Dali knew that there wouldn’t be any problem in defeating the others from the business side. After all, Hong Dali was the clearest of Ling Xiaoyi’s capability.
“Hehe, thank you for your compliment, Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi smiled, looking a bit shy. “It’s good as long as you didn’t suffer any loss.”
When their relationship was to such an extent, money was actually not important anymore—other than their spouses, they could just take whatever they needed from one another without any restrictions.
Therefore, Hong Dali only just nodded, smiled, and said, “With all of you here, I can always be so carefree and easy. Alright, next up is the assessment for the warrior department. Which one of you plans to participate?”
Was there a need to ask? Everyone’s eyes turned and looked at Levis.
Since this was a combat duel, Levis was naturally the most suitable candidate. He was definitely a formidable person who could defeat all of his opponents!
“Young Master, let me go.” At such timing, he naturally wouldn’t give this chance to the rest. After the special training at Thunder Battle Arena these past few days, Levis’s strength had increased too. Therefore, he was quite confident in joining the competition.
“There’s no need to kill a chicken with an ax.” Hong Dali sniffled and said, “Brother Levis, you take a rest first, let Li Yang go and play first. Those are just a bunch of useless trash, there’s no need to be so serious.”
Those were the Honorary Aristocrats, but in Hong Dali’s eyes, they had become a bunch of useless trash…
“I promise to complete the mission!” Li Yang didn’t expect that he would actually have a chance to participate too, he was so excited that his mouth couldn’t stop smiling. “Young Master, do you think my image is okay? Will I throw your face? If there isn’t any problem, I shall go up first later, hehe.”
It was as if he wasn’t going to fight, but to go on a blind date…
Everyone laughed, Hong Dali nodded and said, “Yup, not bad, this is the feel I want. Awesome, this is just how willful I am!”
“Hehe, Dali, I can even imagine the looks of the opponents now.” Tang Muxin hugged Hong Dali’s arm and said, “Their expressions later will definitely be very interesting. Brother Li Yang is very formidable too!”
“That’s for sure.” Hong Dali quite agreed with this too. “It definitely won’t be a problem for our Brother Li Yang. Everyone, let’s go now!”
The venue for the advancement assessment for the warrior department was in a separately allocated place in the virtual world. Overall speaking, it was similar to the Super Mecha Wars. Simply put, this place could stimulate everything from the real world.
After all, the main base of the Honorary Aristocrats was still in the real world. If the equipment and gemstones had no effect in the virtual world, their combat strength would be greatly dampened. Therefore, in this battle arena, everything would be similar to the real world. It could be said that other than not being able to die here, the rest were the same as the real world.
Very quickly, they came to the battle arena where the advancement assessment for the warrior department would be held. This was quite a large building, the style was slightly similar to that of the ancient Roman arena. While Hong Dali came with a large group of people, the other Honorary Aristocrats practically all came themselves.
Although the competition hadn’t started yet, just from appearance alone, Hong Dali’s side had already won over the rest.
Very quickly, everyone had walked into the battle arena through the entrance. Once they came in, they could hear the cold background voice saying: “Upon entering the battle arena, all of your attributes will be synchronized to that in the real world. You will be able to feel pain and feel tired. Other than not being able to really die here, your battle will be the same as that in the real world. Additional explanation: After each duel, the conditions of the participant will be completely recovered.”
The meaning of this was very simple. It just meant that there wouldn’t be any difference between fighting here and in the real world. They would be able to feel pain, tiredness, but wouldn’t really die. Which means to say that that they could fight all out here…
At this moment, all of the participants had entered this place, the arrangement was similar to before. Only one thing was slightly different—Hong Dali brought quite a lot of people with him, he was the only fellow in the entire place who brought friends and family here…
Since everyone was here, the assessment directly started.
After all, the fights in the warrior department wouldn’t be very short. This was not the same as the competition in the business department where the result was out in just 10 seconds.
If the two people fighting were on par, they might even fight for a few hours—not that they couldn’t fight even longer, just that it would be declared a draw if this happened. If not, who could wait for them to fight for a few days and nights? Just looking at them fight would tire the rest to death.
Therefore, since he already knew what everyone was thinking and also because he was really curious too, Jiang Dongliu directly announced: “Then, next, we shall directly start with Hong Dali’s challenge. If not, by the time the others are done competing, the month will probably already be over soon. I think none of us wants to wait so long, right?”
His suggestion gained everyone’s praise. Everyone shouted, “You are the best, hahaha. That’s right, we just want to directly see Hong Dali’s challenge! The other challenges are not interesting at all!”
“That’s right, let’s see if Hong Dali can defeat all of the others first. There is no rush for the rest of them to start competing!”
As for Li Haokong, he squinted his eyes and looked at Hong Dali’s side, secretly thinking. “From his subordinate’s strength, I may be able to predict how strong Hong Dali himself is. I have already lost one time just now, this Hong Dali is indeed not to be underestimated.”
“Okay. Everyone, get ready.” Since they were preparing to start Hong Dali’s challenge now, Li Xuancheng naturally wouldn’t be courteous and said, “Then, both parties can enter the arena now. On one side is the Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrat, Nanhu. On the other, Hong Dali. Which of you is fighting?”
“Me!” Just after Li Xuancheng asked this question, Li Yang directly stood up.
This venue was quite big, but luckily, there was an enlarged holographic projection on top, allowing everyone to be able to see the fight clearly. Therefore, Li Yang directly jumped into the center of the arena, placed his palm and fist together, then bowed and loudly said, “Young Master’s number two lackey, Li Yang, fighting in place of the Young Master!”
Upon hearing his words, especially after seeing the words on the back of his cape, everyone couldn’t help but burst out laughing—
“Hahaha! He actually really called himself a lackey, this is too interesting, hahaha!”
“That’s right, it’s normal for the master to call his subordinates his lackeys, but this person actually called himself a lackey too, this is really incredible!”
“Hey, quick, look at his clothes, see what’s written on the back? Grand League.Lackey! Hahaha! He is really fit to be a lackey!”
“A lackey challenging a Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrat, this scene can practically only be seen once in a few thousand years, right!?”
Li Yang didn’t mind their discussions at all. He just looked around at the spectator stands and asked loudly, “Which of you is Nanhu? Shall we start now?”
“Humph!” Nanhu was about 25 or 26-years-old and had blue-colored short hair. Hearing Li Yang’s words, he humphed coldly, then directly jumped into the arena!
