Boom!
As his voice faded, he flicked his finger, and a Magic Star Card flew out. It then transformed into a giant golden hand. With a thunderous momentum and terrifying power, it enveloped Yan Que from all directions.
Yan Que's face instantly turned deathly pale as an indescribable fear gushed out from his eyes. Just as he was about to forcefully summon his Star Card, the palm had already descended.
Thump!
The sky shook as the giant hand descended. Everyone watched as Yan Que's figure plummeted from the sky like a cannonball.
Everyone cast their gazes over. Yan Que's eyes were empty under the palm, his aura completely gone.
Hss …
Everyone looked at each other when they saw this scene. Who could have imagined that Yan Que, who had been incomparably glorious in the past, would actually die in such a miserable manner?
"This … how can this be?" Xia Qiuming's expression instantly darkened to the extreme.
A month ago, when Luo Feng had first arrived at the Wind Pavilion, she had likely expected such a scene. But in her opinion, it would have taken at least half a year for such a scene to occur.
At that time, she had believed that it was already very difficult for someone like Luo Feng, who had appeared out of nowhere, to gain a foothold in Fufeng Province. Who could have imagined that he would not only gain a foothold, but also swiftly become a commander in the shortest time possible!
What was she going to do in the future?
Could it be that she had to change someone else to manage time with her and become a qualified time management master?
"Congratulations to the new commander!"
When Qin Ze's voice sounded, countless figures cupped their hands together in unison. The sky was filled with deafening congratulatory voices.
Everyone's gazes converged on Luo Feng, endless praise filling their eyes with respect and envy.
A month ago, they had still doubted the new commander who had appeared out of nowhere, believing that he had only been able to ascend to such a high position because he had someone backing him.
But who could have imagined that the Star Card master, who was not fit to be a deputy commander in their eyes, would be able to remove Yan Que from his position and replace him as the new commander within a month?
In the history of the four pavilions, only two people had been able to rapidly rise from a deputy commander to a commander within a month.
The pavilion master of the Thunder Pavilion, Zhou Sheng.
The pavilion master of the Fire Pavilion, Jiang Yan.
One had to know that the position of Commander was not low in the Four Pavilions. It could be said to be a mainstay.
Most importantly, he was able to become a commander at such a young age. His future was limitless.
Luo Feng, on the other hand, didn't seem to be surprised by today's result. He cupped his fists towards the surrounding people.
Chu Man heaved a long sigh of relief. She patted her chest lightly and said faintly, "That move of yours scared me to death."
"Master, don't worry."
Luo Feng smiled at her and said, "This disciple has always been very steady. It's impossible for me to get carried away and do something stupid like risking my life for another."
If it weren't for the Sky-Swallowing Whale, he wouldn't have dared to bet on the Shadow Queen. Only a fool would do that.
Qin Ze walked over and patted Luo Feng's shoulder. Then, he stared deeply at Luo Feng. He just stared at Luo Feng quietly. His stare made the latter's hair stand.
"Luo Feng, there's something I've wanted to say to you for a long time."
"Oh?" Luo Feng felt a chill run down his spine. "Deputy pavilion master, please speak."
"From the first time I saw you, I felt that you had the makings of a commander."
Qin Ze sighed. His eyes flickered as he said, "Yan Que is greedy and unworthy of his position. I've long wanted to replace him, but I didn't have a suitable reason."
"It's great that you can replace him."
"Your talent is outstanding and your future is limitless. Cultivate well. When I become the pavilion master in the future, I will certainly treat you well."
"Then, Luo Feng will thank you in advance."
Luo Feng's expression was indifferent, but he sneered in his heart. In the deputy pavilion master's eyes, killing Yan Que was a covert way to curry favor with him and extend an olive branch to him.
I still remember the show of strength you showed me that day.
After explaining some matters, Qin Ze was about to leave.
But at this moment, Han Xiang said, "Deputy pavilion master, please wait."
Hearing this, Qin Ze frowned slightly. "Han Xiang, what's the matter?"
Han Xiang raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Qin Ze in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. "I want to start the competition for the deputy pavilion master position."
Whoosh!
As soon as these words came out, it was like a sudden clap of thunder that suddenly exploded.
As if cold water had been poured into a pot of oil, it caused a monstrous boil.
All the Star Card Masters were shocked, and all the deputy commanders were a little dumbfounded.
"Is he finally going to start the competition for the deputy pavilion master position?"
"Damn, Commander Han Xiang is really something. He's usually so low-key, but it turns out that he's hiding his strength and biding his time."
"What's going on recently? The deputy commander wants to challenge the commander, and the commander wants to challenge the deputy pavilion master. Since that's the case, I'll lay my cards on the table and compete for the pavilion master position."
"You're thinking about Peach. Pavilion master? You'll be a deacon at most with your current strength."
"…"
Everyone's hearts were in turmoil, and their eyes were somewhat fanatical. Generally speaking, if one's strength was not enough, no one would dare to directly issue a challenge.
One must know that issuing a challenge was undoubtedly tantamount to publicly falling out with the current deputy pavilion master.
If one succeeded in the challenge and replaced the deputy pavilion master like Luo Feng, it would be fine.
But if one failed in the challenge, one would be in a lot of trouble for a long time in the future.
Fighting spirit rose in Han Xiang's eyes. He knew the consequences he might face.
However, as the saying goes, wealth comes from danger. Compared to the deputy pavilion master position, what was a mere commander position?
There were dozens of commanders in the four pavilions, and the commander position could only be regarded as a cornerstone.
Only by becoming a deputy pavilion master would one be considered a member of the upper echelon and become one of the most influential people in the Wind Pavilion.
Most importantly, if one became a deputy pavilion master, one would have the qualifications to compete for the pavilion master position.
Deputy commanders, commanders and deputy pavilion master positions had to accept challenges every month. If they failed, they would be replaced.
But once the pavilion master position was appointed, it would not change for several years without special circumstances.
Therefore, the pavilion master position was everyone's dream. After all, only by reaching this level could one be considered to have a firm foothold in the four pavilions.
Qin Ze frowned slightly. "If I recall correctly, you're still a late four-star card master, right?"
"If it was before, I would indeed not have such thoughts."
Han Xiang nodded. He was silent for a moment, before he said, "But today, when I saw Luo Feng challenge Yan Que, I suddenly felt …"
"I can do the same."
The atmosphere instantly froze, and the pressure was frightening.
Anyone could hear that these words were filled with a strong sense of provocation.
Pa!
Qin Ze clapped his hands together, and said with a smile, "I am very pleased that you have such courage. But according to the rules, you will need to defeat all the other commanders before that."
Han Xiang nodded. "Luo Feng has just been promoted to the position of commander, and I am unable to challenge him today. Since that is the case, I will challenge commander Lu first."
So, under the gaze of many, the two of them walked to the martial arts arena.
After about 50 book coins of battle, the competition ended, and Han Xiang won.
No one was surprised by this. Han Xiang's strength was obvious to all. He had always been the head of the three commanders.
Han Xiang looked at Luo Feng and said, "Luo Feng, you have to know that Yan Que is actually the weakest of the three commanders …"
Luo Feng's eyes flashed. He naturally understood what Han Xiang was implying.
After all, although according to the rules, he had to challenge all the other commanders, generally speaking, he only needed to challenge the strongest commander.
Just like when Luo Feng initiated the pavilion master battle, Liu Teng had said that as long as he defeated the strongest, Xia Qiuming, then he would have defeated him.
Therefore, he hoped that Luo Feng would have some self-awareness and admit defeat. After all, he had even defeated Lu Xiaowan, let alone Luo Feng who was slightly weaker.
Under the gaze of many, Luo Feng pondered for a moment, then stared at Han Xiang and said, "Although I am not talented, I would also like to see how powerful Commander Han Xiang is!"
Han Xiang was stunned when he heard this. He took a deep look at Luo Feng and said, "If that is the case, then I will offend Commander Luo Feng in one month's time."
There was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth. You even needed to rely on luck and the opponent's mistake to defeat the weakest commander, Yan Que. How dare you accept my challenge?
"I will wait." Luo Feng said with a smile. Their gazes met, and sparks flew in all directions.
"Interesting."
He sighed in his heart. He was still hesitating whether to directly initiate the vice pavilion master battle, but this Han Xiang had snatched the opportunity from him.
This was actually quite good.
Because even if he lost, it would not be shameful. After all, he did not initiate the challenge.
But if he won, perhaps he could directly take advantage of the situation and initiate the vice pavilion master battle.
"Luo Feng, you must prepare well for the competition in one month's time. I believe in your strength." Qin Ze patted his shoulder, and his eyes were full of admiration. Then, he turned and left.
If Luo Feng could defeat Han Xiang, then he would wake up laughing in his dreams.
"It seems that I have to work hard to cultivate." Luo Feng shrugged and stretched his body. Sure enough, men were tired.
"Commander … Commander."
At this moment, a timid voice quietly sounded behind him.
Luo Feng was startled when he heard the voice. He suddenly turned around and looked. Not far away, Xia Qiuming was looking at him with a nervous expression.
"Vice Commander Xia, is there anything?"
Xia Qiuming bit her red lips with her pearly white teeth and pondered for a moment. Then, she said, "In the past, Qiuming was blind and arrogant. I said some extreme words. I … I hope Commander will not take it to heart."
"If Commander is not satisfied, Qiuming is willing to compensate in any form …"
Luo Feng was startled when he heard this. He did not expect her to take the initiative to surrender.
"Oh." He looked at the latter coldly and did not say anything more. Then, he turned and left.
It was too late to pretend now.
Xia Qiuming was left behind in a mess.
"Oh?"
Xia Qiuming's pretty face was perturbed. Her heart was in turmoil. She muttered, "Commander, what do you mean by 'oh'?"
Luo Feng leisurely returned to the small building, opened the door, and saw the empress reclining on a couch that resembled a sofa.
She had a slender swan-like neck. Below it was her exquisite collarbone and towering breasts. She had a small waist and two long legs that were as smooth as jade were intertwined together. Her reclining posture perfectly outlined her exquisite curves.
At this moment, she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. What a beautiful sleeping beauty.
At this moment, Zhuo Ying's slender eyelashes trembled slightly. She lazily opened her eyes and looked sleepy.
"Is the competition over?"
She rubbed her head with her jade-like hands and stared at Luo Feng with her beautiful eyes. Her red lips parted slightly with a smile that was not a smile. "This character card of yours is pretty good."
"No wonder people say the Star Card is fun. Tsk …"
