Chapter 136: Chapter 136

Zhao Letian, though having few interactions with Xiao Feng, could see that Xiao Feng was generous and broad-minded, making him easy to get along with, trustworthy, and with a strong talent. Although Xiao Feng was only at the True Martial Seventh Realm, he seemed capable of contending with those at the True Martial Eighth Realm. Hence, choosing him as the leader of the main team was undoubtedly the best choice.

"Brother Xiao, long time no see," Zhao Letian greeted as he approached Xiao Feng.

"Brother Letian, is there anything you need?" Xiao Feng replied with a slight smile, having a good impression of Zhao Letian, who he found to be bright and straightforward, courageous in action, vengeful yet grateful - qualities that he admired.

"I wonder if you have considered being the leader of the main team?" asked Zhao Letian.

"Well, I am considering it, but the competition is fierce. There are only a hundred slots available, yet there are two to three hundred high-level True Martial practitioners here. I'm not sure if I have the strength to recruit ten squads," Xiao Feng nodded.

"Brother Xiao, you're too modest. Although there are many high-level True Martial practitioners around, if we get serious, I'm afraid only a few could match you. Gathering ten squads would be a breeze for you. I'd like to recommend a squad leader to you; I wonder if you'd be interested," Zhao Letian said.

"Oh? A recommendation from Brother Letian must be exceptional. Could it be this lady?" Xiao Feng said, looking at Luo Yao who was wearing a blue dress.

"Correct, her name is Luo Yao. Though she's only at the True Martial Fourth Realm, she can certainly contend with those of the True Martial Fifth Realm," Zhao Letian introduced.

"Any recommendation from Brother Letian I trust, but we need to recruit ten squads first," Xiao Feng replied with a light smile.

"That's a given, many thanks, Brother Xiao," Zhao Letian nodded his head.

"Haha, why be so polite? As fellow disciples of Galaxy Sect, we should look out for each other," Xiao Feng said, shaking his head smilingly.

"Alright then, let's go recruit people first," Zhao Letian said.

"Sure, I'll reserve a squad slot for you," Xiao Feng nodded.

Afterward, Zhao Letian led Liu Wei and others to start recruiting subordinates.

"It's too chaotic here; everyone should split up and look around. Find three people first to form a squad. Remember, try to find those with Martial Realm cultivation and stay in touch. Meet back here once you've found someone," Zhao Letian told everyone.

"Alright," Liu Wei and the others nodded and then dispersed, asking everyone they met if they wanted to join their squad.

"You there, I see you're alone. How about considering joining our squad?" Zhao Letian was walking when a young man suddenly stopped him, enthusiastically speaking.

"Thanks, but no need," Zhao Letian looked at the young man and his several companions behind him, shaking his head with a smile.

The young man was only at True Martial First Realm, his aura was not strong, and his strength could not be very great. His companions were even at the Primordial Martial Realm; such a squad would likely be cannon fodder on the battlefield.

After hearing the rejection, the young man shook his head helplessly and turned to leave. Zhao Letian was using a secret technique to conceal his cultivation aura. The young man could not see Zhao Letian's cultivation and thought he was just a little guy from the Primordial Martial Realm, so it did not matter if he did not want to join.

"True Martial Third Realm? The aura is quite strong; the strength must not be very weak," Zhao Letian continued walking and suddenly found his interest piqued by a young man in white, stepping forward to approach him directly.

"Hello there, I hope you would consider joining my squad," Zhao Letian said directly.

"What?" The white-clothed young man was stunned, looking at Zhao Letian with a dazed expression, as if he couldn't believe that this young lad was inviting him, a peak True Martial Third Realm practitioner, to join a squad. Had he misheard? With his cultivation, even if he couldn't sweep all the squad leaders present, he was at least stronger than most of them. Who was qualified to be his squad leader?

"I mean, I hope you can join my squad," Zhao Letian repeated, considering the peak True Martial Third Realm sufficient to join his team. Anything weaker than that, he really did not want.

"Young man, are you making fun of me? What qualifies you to be my squad leader?" the white-clothed young man, Qin Hai, challenged.

"If you're not convinced, let's test it out on the stage," Zhao Letian replied with a calm smile, jumping onto one of the many platforms in the vast Martial Arts Arena designed for soldiers to practice and spar with no rules but absolute combat standards, while fighting was strictly prohibited off the stage, and violators would be executed without mercy.

"Fine, I want to see, you young lad, barely grown up, how you could possibly handle me," Qin Hai's eyes hardened, and he too jumped onto the platform.

"I'll let you strike first. Otherwise, you won't even get the chance to," Zhao Letian said, hands clasped behind his back, calmly.

"Young man, aren't you a bit too arrogant? I, Qin Hai from Dawan City's Qin family, despite being only a Middle Stage True Martial practitioner, can fight even with those stronger than me. You said I wouldn't have the chance to make a move unless you are a High-level True Martial practitioner. You take the first move then, I, Qin Hai, won't take advantage of a youngster," Qin Hai frowned.

"That said, it seems I underestimated you. Take this then, Demon Suppression Seal," Zhao Letian was slightly taken aback, not expecting a random pick to be a genius from a town, but in respect for the young prodigy, he launched an attack using Dao Seal Demon Suppressing Palm.

Before the Palm Seal even hit, Qin Hai was shocked, the mighty oppressive force within the seal making him feel unable to resist, almost crushing him straight to the ground. However, in the end, he gritted his teeth, flipped his hand, and sent out a palm seal to meet it head-on. Thiscontentoriginatesfrom*,MyVirtualLibraryEmpire.

The result was Qin Hai's palm seal could not withstand Zhao Letian's Demon Suppression Seal at all, disintegrating instantly while the Demon Suppressing Palm Seal continued unabated, blasting Qin Hai off the platform.

"Not bad, still capable of counterattacking. You indeed qualify to join my squad." Zhao Letian stepped down from the platform and helped Qin Hai up, having moderated some of the force in his palm, hence not injuring Qin Hai.

Qin Hai was speechless, looking at Zhao Letian as if he was a monster. Zhao Letian clearly had only True Martial Second Realm cultivation, how could his strength be so formidable? What level was that palm technique?

"What now, still not convinced?" Zhao Letian said with a teasing smile.

"Convinced, I am willing to join your squad," Qin Hai nodded with a gloomy expression, still a bit depressed in his heart, yet he was genuinely willing to join Zhao Letian's squad, believing that having a powerful squad leader would increase his survival rate on the battlefield.

"My lord, we've found two people, but one of them has slightly lower cultivation. I hope my lord will accept them," Da Hu suddenly sent a message through the Sect Token.
