Chapter 203 - 191 Battle of Xibo
"Duel."
Lu Hong shouted in a low voice.
"Alright."
Xibo didn’t waste words. As the leader of the first squad, he had to establish his authority, especially over these reserved warriors from Roland. If he didn’t keep them firmly in line, who knew what kind of chaos they might cause on the battlefield by acting on their own accord.
"Follow me." Xibo led his squad members to a clearing outside the camp. A duel naturally required space, and it also served to show those self-perceived exceptional youngsters the strength of the Harnix Army.
The unusual activity of Xibo’s squad naturally drew the attention of others, who teased them, "Xibo, are your new recruits disobedient? Give them a good beating. If there’s trouble, we’ve got your back!"
Aside from the taunting Harnix soldiers, the reserve warriors from Roland also sneered at Lu Hong. Compared to the valiant Harnix warriors, these young men had a long way to go. Now one fool was actually challenging the squad leader—a sure path to doom.
Once outside, Xibo got straight to the point. Holy Light surged, inscribing a golden circle with a hundred-meter radius on the ground: "I won’t take advantage of you. I’ll lower my level to match yours. Whoever steps out of the circle first or loses the ability to fight will be deemed the loser, agreed?"
"Agreed." Lu Hong nodded. Xibo had hidden his intentions well. The condition of losing the ability to fight could mean many things, and he knew Xibo would surely strike with full force, keen on making an example out of him.
"Captain, go easy, yeah? It’d be awkward to explain things to the commander if trouble arises." Xibo’s teammates looked at Lu Hong with sympathy.
