Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

An old general with a slightly gray beard spoke in a loud voice:

"Young one, battling and confronting the enemy on the battlefield isn't as simple as what you learned on the mountain. Though you are the Divine Martial Top Scholar cultivated by the Imperial Court, it's your first day here, so it's best not to be so rash."

"Who is this old general?" Chen Ku calmly asked.

The old general with the graying beard replied in a rumbling voice, "I am Cao Yu, the Deputy General of the Rear Army."

Chen Ku nodded and said, "The Emperor personally appointed me as the Right Army Vanguard. Since I am the vanguard, I naturally should lead the charge in a hundred battles. I just arrived at the camp, faced with the enemy knocking at our gates, and naturally hope to be the first to go out and confront them, not disappointing the Emperor and the Imperial Court's cultivation."

The old general's expression slightly stiffened. Even the Emperor was mentioned; what could he say? Besides, Chen Ku's position as the Right Army Vanguard indeed served this purpose.

"This young man..."

"Eager to establish merit just upon arrival?"

"That Yuan Wutian isn't easily driven back."

All the generals frowned.

The cadets behind Chen Ku, on the other hand, flushed with a touch of excitement as they looked at Chen Ku. They could naturally understand Chen Ku's actions.

In fact, they all had the same thought. Just as they arrived at the front, there was an enemy situation, and all wanted to go out and meet them. However, they dared not speak due to the solemn majesty inside the tent and their own status. Now, with the top of their class speaking up, they all began to request to fight:

"Military Advisor, we also request to join the battle and go out to fight Yuan Wutian with Chen... the Right Army Vanguard!"

"We request to fight!"

"We have cultivated on Divine Martial Mountain for a year to come to the frontier and kill the enemy for the country!"

For a moment, various youthful voices resounded inside the tent.

Finally.

Kneeling on one knee, Xiang Kunlun's expression changed. He didn't expect this Divine Martial First Phase Top Scholar to be so aggressive just upon arriving at the frontier, knowing full well that Yuan Wutian was the opponent who had defeated him.

Since the last defeat, he had always looked forward to another chance to challenge Yuan Wutian.

Especially after further advancing his Dragon King Scripture, entering the eleventh realm of the Martial Path True Body, and forging the Dragon King Treasure Body, he was very confident of having a fair match with Yuan Wutian.

This was also his chance to wash away the shame.

Thus, Xiang Kunlun suddenly spoke:

"Military Advisor, please give me a chance to redeem my failures!"

For a moment, everyone's gaze in the tent was focused on Chen Ku and Xiang Kunlun.

But the one who made the decision was Xie Xuanji.

After a moment.

Xie Xuanji looked at Chen Ku.

He slowly took down the horsetail whisk in his hand and said:

"Junior General, you've just arrived at the frontier, and are still unfamiliar with the battlefield. Let General Xiang face the battle first, and you assist from the side. If General Xiang is unable to hold, then you may engage. Is that alright?"

Xiang Kunlun's expression slightly changed.

But he said no more, as long as he could face Yuan Wutian again.

Although Chen Ku indeed wanted to make a name for himself at the frontier and establish his status and strength—since merely being appointed as Longyuan Major General by the Imperial Court wouldn't command great credibility on the battlefield.

But now, with Military Advisor Xie presiding over everything, he had to obey orders.

So, he nodded and said:

"I obey the military order."

"Very well, then let General Xiang face the enemy in this battle, and General Chen assist from the side. We will proceed to the city walls to watch the battle."

As the words fell, all the military leaders began to take action.

...

Dust billowed.

Outside the frontier, a massive army of Qi Cultivators like snowflakes stood still in the sky on various magic artifacts. Looking down at the ground, there were Qi Cultivators riding an array of demonic mounts.

Moo~~

A golden Divine Bull raised its head and bellowed before the frontier, its thunderous voice resounding like Heavenly Thunder inside and outside the frontier.

"What a strong aura! That golden Bull Demon is actually an eleventh realm demon!" On the city walls, the guards of Ji Country turned pale, their eardrums nearly shattered by the Divine Bull's call.

Upon looking again, on the Divine Bull's back was a blue-clothed youth sitting across it with crossed legs, his eyes indifferent, toying a bracelet on his wrist.

Beside him was a silver chariot with a woman in pink calling out to the city walls:

"Are Ji Country's mice all a bunch of cowards? So afraid of our Brother Yuan that you don't dare to come out and fight. In my view, you're not martial practitioners, just a group of turtles!"

Hearing this, everyone on the city walls became furious.

Yet at this moment.

Rumble!

The thirty-zhang gate below the city walls slowly opened. From it charged out two riders, followed by a stream of ten thousand troops.

The two at the forefront were Xiang Kunlun and Chen Ku, each clad in armor. Chen Ku wore an Immortal Treasure Armor casually taken from the Hero King Realm, holding the Prison Suppressing Stick.

Looking at Xiang Kunlun again, he wielded a Great Halberd.

The two reined in their horses less than a hundred zhang from the distant Qi Cultivator army, and Xiang Kunlun shouted:

"Yuan Wutian, long time no see!"

Sitting cross-legged on Qing Niu with his legs crossed, the blue-clothed youth glanced sideways at the black-armored Xiang Kunlun and said calmly:

"So it's you, the defeated general, daring to appear before me again. I see your wounds have healed."

As he spoke.

The pink-clothed girl also laughed sweetly, pointing at Xiang Kunlun and said, "So you're the top young genius general of Daji's army who was defeated by Brother Yuan last time, losing your helmet and armor. It seems Daji really has no one, sending a defeated general of Brother Yuan to battle again."

Xiang Kunlun snorted coldly: "Yuan Wutian, enough talk, let us fight!"
