CHAPTER 628: CHAPTER 217: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! (6K)_4

For this, he even took the initiative to come to the border for training, but what was the result?

Those two brothers had already left him far behind.

Jiang Pojun, standing nearby, also felt a mix of emotions in his heart.

This scene, it was a repeat of their sparring that day.

It was just as clean and efficient.

Lu Jinghong, kneeling on one knee, stared blankly at Zhou Qing in the sky, his eyes full of confusion.

On his own turf, in front of so many people, how did he lose so muddled?

Especially with the five major corps commanders, who trusted him so much, betting over twenty top-grade Spirit Stones.

But soon, the pain and unwillingness on his face gradually faded, replaced by a look of calmness.

"Zhou, I lost, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly." Lu Jinghong cupped his hands, then exhaled a long breath, "Today’s battle with Brother Zhou has benefited me greatly, thank you!"

Though defeated, this battle was honorable, making him understand many of his own limitations.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing returned the gesture respectfully and said with humility, "Lu, you flatter me. If it were a life-and-death battle, I would have lost long ago. Thank you, Brother Lu, for showing mercy."

"Mercy my ass, a loss is a loss. I, Lu Jinghong, can afford to lose. No need to put gold on my face!"

Lu Jinghong waved his hand and laughed heartily.

He could take both victory and defeat in stride, for failure was not shameful; what was important was learning from it.

After saying that, Lu Jinghong turned and looked at Xuanyuan Shuo, who was seated at the main seat, his eyes flashing with a trace of shame.

After all, to lose on his own turf, in front of so many people, was to disappoint his master’s teachings and expectations.

At this moment, he pursed his lips, simply bowed, and then merged into the crowd.

Watching him, Zhou Qing felt a surge of admiration in his heart.

He appreciated people with such open-mindedness, those who were not pretentious or affected.

Lu Jinghong was one of them, so was Jiang Pojun!

But at this moment, Zhou Qing felt a sense of lingering unfinished business.

Especially after the recent fight, as if his realm had been further supplemented, moving towards the Great Success stage.

Each breakthrough after the Divinity Transformation Realm, besides one’s own Spiritual Power, required the advancement of one’s realm.

Just like back when Second Uncle took him, using scandals of various sect leaders or elders, forcing them to use their Great Success or Perfection realms to help with comprehensions.

Perhaps, coming to the border this time, apart from repaying Second Uncle’s Heavenly Dao Qi favor, there were unspeakable benefits for himself as well.

This feeling, only these fierce generals guarding the border could give him.

Because their realms besides being special, also contained a unique killing intent.

This feeling that suddenly emerged shouldn’t be missed!

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing felt a wave of excitement, then immediately drew a portion of Blood Qi and Spiritual Power from the golden flower.

Instantly, his entire aura returned to its peak, vigorous and vast.

Then, he cast his gaze towards the other two people in the field.

Cold Abyss Army’s Left and Right Vice Generals—Qin Liao and Xie Heng.

Moreover, they were also on Second Uncle’s list of people.

Over two banquets, introduced by the Seventh Prince, he had already become familiar with everyone.

"I’ve long heard of your great names, would the two of you care for a spar?" Zhou Qing said with a smile, his eyes shining with intense battle intent.

Hearing this, the two were stunned.

"Both of us together?" Qin Liao thought he had misheard.

Zhou Qing nodded, his eyes sharp, and made a challenging gesture.

For a moment, everyone present was shocked.

This was too arrogant. Just after an intense sparring, instead of resting and adjusting, he voluntarily challenged both of them.

And these two were the Left and Right Vice Generals of the Cold Abyss Army, both at Early-stage Divinity Transformation cultivation.

One was manageable, but if the two, as colleagues and senior brothers, teamed up, their combat power wouldn’t be inferior to a Mid-stage Divinity Transformation.

But thinking again, young people were always enthusiastic and full of vigor, especially after a victory, some momentum was understandable.
