After all, they’ve been working closely together for a long time.
Although Xu Feng failed in command during that operation in the Willpower Country, in other everyday matters, he truly demonstrated what a captain should do and the responsibilities he should bear.
People like Huang Hai and Wang Xinqi,
are troublemakers no matter where they are placed.
But under Xu Feng’s leadership, they are quite obedient.
This also indirectly shows the restraint Xu Feng has over them.
Sometimes, restraint is also a reflection of one’s abilities.
"I don’t know,"
Yin Mengwei said nonchalantly.
Just after she said this, Wang Xinqi immediately chimed in.
"How can you have so little faith in our captain?"
"In fact, I’ve researched Oizaki’s Eight Challenges too. While this climbing isn’t the easiest, it ranks among the top three easiest challenges."
"I guess Captain Xu Feng wants to use this to test the waters, to see how he measures up now."
"After all, our minister challenged Oizaki’s Eight Challenges in one go back then. If even a simple climb is so hard, then the captain might just want to give up."
"I think the same."
Yin Mengwei nodded in agreement with Wang Xinqi’s statement.
Huang Hai rolled his eyes when he heard this.
When he spoke earlier, Yin Mengwei said she didn’t know.
But when it came to Wang Xinqi, Yin Mengwei agreed with him.
What a group favorite.
But Huang Hai dared not offend her, otherwise if Xu Feng knew when he returned, he definitely wouldn’t spare him.
Not to mention if Xu Feng knew, even if Zhang Beixing knew, he would probably slap him twice.
Yes, there is such a double standard.
After all, now.
There aren’t many Grandmasters, but in terms of numbers, there are quite a few male Grandmasters.
But as for female Grandmasters, they are as rare as pandas.
Globally, female Martial Artists who are Grandmasters probably don’t even add up to one hand.
Anyway, there are no female Grandmasters in Great Xia now.
It seems there is one in the Lijian Country.
Others...
There doesn’t seem to be any mention.
However, it’s heard that Zhang Beixing’s disciple Chen Rourou is about to become a Grandmaster.
She could be the third female Grandmaster worldwide.
It just shows how strong the women around Zhang Beixing are.
Not only approaching Grandmaster realms,
but also capable of concocting potions that upgrade someone to a Grandmaster level.
Incredible.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Huang Hai saw a figure in a corner of the task hall.
When he saw this figure, his eyes lit up instantly.
This is...
Leng Bing!
The other Great Grandmaster besides Xu Feng.
He quickly walked over.
"Captain Leng, now that Captain Xu is off challenging Oizaki’s Eight Challenges, when are you going?"
Huang Hai usually had a bit of a sarcastic tone.
Though it was a normal question, from his mouth, it sounded a bit mocking.
Leng Bing glanced at him, not taking it to heart.
"I’m not in a hurry. You know my physical condition. I didn’t become a Great Grandmaster through normal means."
"Whether I can challenge Oizaki’s Eight Challenges is still uncertain."
Leng Bing’s expression was very calm, showing no emotion.
His eyes were fixed on the figure on the screen.
Does he not want to challenge?
Of course, he wants to!
But his body is in a special condition.
He was forcibly enhanced to this strength with potions.
He has no solid foundations.
No need to talk about challenging Oizaki’s Eight Challenges now.
Even if he faced Xu Feng in a direct fight, he would surely lose.
They sparred once before on the training ground.
Both were eager to compete.
In the end, both were a little disappointed.
Not because of any other reason, but because Leng Bing was too weak.
Even though Leng Bing became a Great Grandmaster before Xu Feng.
But, since his power was forcibly enhanced externally,
his whole person couldn’t compare at all.
Zhang Beixing was observing then and directly told Leng Bing he needed to build a stronger foundation.
Although Leng Bing’s current strength would easily crush a Grandmaster, facing Xu Feng was different.
There’s a fundamental difference between a Great Grandmaster and a Grandmaster.
But even within the Great Grandmaster realm, there are vast differences.
Hearing Leng Bing say this,
Huang Hai thought for a moment.
Previously, he heard Minister Zhang Beixing brought back some potions from the Lanxi Kingdom researcher Marina.
He initially considered it.
But seeing Leng Bing like this, he knew he could dismiss the idea.
Now, for him, following a path like Xu Feng’s is the best route.
With the cultivation technique Zhang Beixing developed, as long as he follows it, although he might not reach the Transcendent level,
Huang Hai believes he could certainly become a Great Grandmaster, which isn’t too much to ask.
Just as Huang Hai was thinking,
he suddenly heard an exclamation.
He quickly snapped back to reality and looked up, seeing on the screen that Xu Feng had already climbed over a thousand meters high.
Just as he intended to continue climbing,
there was a tree on the cliff.
Seeing a tree growing on a cliff isn’t that surprising.
But it was outrageous to see a python coiled around the tree!
The python appeared quite large.
It seemed to be over ten meters long!
Moreover, its diameter was as thick as a barrel! It looked outrageous!
Zhang Beixing was dumbfounded at the sight.
Yes, even Zhang Beixing was shocked.
In what season is this?
Though it’s not winter,
the weather is still cold.
There shouldn’t be snakes at this time, and during his climb, in the scorching sun, nothing like this happened.
Could it be that Xu Feng is just that unlucky?
As for Xu Feng, the event left him with a cold sweat.
If he encountered a python like this on regular days, it wouldn’t be too alarming. He would proceed cautiously, but not overly frightened.
However, encountering the python now, if it attacked him,
he might have to abandon the climb.
Over a thousand meters high.
Forget about catching the snake;
even descending safely from this height is a significant challenge.
"The captain’s luck is truly terrible this time."
"Yes, absolutely awful."
"He’ll definitely fail this time, and will have to try again later, I suppose."
"I also think he’s going to fail this time."
Huang Hai and a few others said.
They had no expectation that Xu Feng would successfully continue the climb.
Handling such a python without hot weapons is challenging, even on level ground for Grandmasters.
Zhang Beixing was ready for rescue.
The next second, just when everyone thought Xu Feng would give up, Zhang Beixing suddenly saw Xu facing the python without dodging.
He rushed directly towards the python.
Taking the initiative!
The python had noticed Xu Feng but was cautious, constantly flicking its tongue yet avoiding an attack.
However, its aggressive stance was ready.
It didn’t expect this sudden human on the cliff to dare attack it directly!
In an instant, it was infuriated.
It opened its maw wide and lunged to bite the oncoming Xu Feng.
In that moment, two figures, one human and one serpent, collided.
