Seeing the various returned pills appear in his mind, Liu Bai smiled—sure enough, Luo Li was his lucky star!!
At this moment, Liu Bai wished he could bring all the treasures in the world and give them to Luo Li. Unfortunately, he didn’t have that ability yet.
But he believed that as long as he treated Luo Li well enough, one day, he would possess the whole world!
Looking at the pile of pills in her hands, Luo Li’s mouth opened slightly in astonishment. Even though she was born into the prestigious Luo family in the capital, this was her first time seeing so many exceptional pills at once!
“There are way too many pills…”
“You should keep some for yourself, just in case,” Luo Li said, worried that Liu Bai had given them all to her.
Liu Bai smiled lightly. “Don’t worry, A’Li. I have even better ones with me.”
That was true—the returned pills were far superior to the ones he had originally gifted.
Luo Li felt reassured after hearing that.
Just then, a female soldier entered the tent to report some military matters, but when she saw Luo Li holding a pile of pills and Liu Bai standing nearby, realization dawned on her.
“Young Master Liu treats the General so well. He’s giving away all those pills like it’s nothing.”
Luo Li then put the pills away and resumed her duties.
Liu Bai stood to the side, watching Luo Li focus intently on her military tasks. Her serious expression carried a unique charm that made her even more attractive in his eyes.
“Brother Liu Bai, are you feeling stifled in the tent? Do you want to take a walk?” Luo Li asked with concern, thinking he might be bored.
“Hmm, sounds good,” Liu Bai nodded. It was his first time in a military camp, and he was curious too.
So, before the army set out, Luo Li took him on a tour around the camp. The female soldier had already stepped away.
On her way out, she ran into other soldiers and couldn’t help but sigh, “Who said Young Master Liu doesn’t like our General? He’s clearly head over heels for her.”
“What happened?”
“Young Master Liu’s worried about the General’s safety on the battlefield. He’s handing her bottle after bottle of pills!”
“Tsk tsk, I’m so jealous…”
In no time, news of Liu Bai and Luo Li’s affection spread through the army.
Husband and wife heading to war together—it was a romantic tale.
It even boosted morale.
…
Liu Bai walked through the camp with Luo Li. The soldiers were all preparing for deployment.
Suddenly, something caught their attention. A group of soldiers had gathered in one area, watching two others wrestling inside a circle, while the onlookers shouted and cheered.
“Come on, Vice General Li! Push him out!”
“Old Wang, hold your ground!”
Luo Li explained, “This is the most common game in the army. They draw a circle, and within it, soldiers aren’t allowed to use weapons. It’s all about using physical strength to push the opponent out of bounds to win.”
Liu Bai nodded.
He had heard of this game before.
In the army, strength determined respect. It was only natural that such competitions gained popularity.
Eventually, the man called Vice General Li roared and shoved his opponent several meters out of the ring.
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
Liu Bai glanced at Vice General Li. His cultivation was decent—almost at the Battle Spirit Realm.
In the Great Zhou, military ranks were divided as follows: Decarch, Centurion, Chiliarch, Myriarch, then Vice General, General, and finally Grand General.
There weren’t many Grand Generals in the Great Zhou.
Luo Feng was the strongest among them.
In terms of rank, Vice General Li was already quite high.
He looked at Liu Bai standing next to Luo Li and grinned, “I heard Young Master Liu is pretty strong. Want to give it a try?”
The surrounding soldiers looked on with excitement.
In truth, Luo Li was the brightest and most admired female general in the army, and many soldiers had feelings for her.
When news broke that she had married Liu Bai, many hearts were broken. Now that they saw him in person, some of them—especially those unwilling to accept it—wanted to test his strength.
Vice General Li was the most unwilling of them all.
“Let me see what makes you worthy of the General!” Vice General Li thought, his eyes burning with the desire to win.
Liu Bai smiled faintly, “Sure.”
He was about to step onto the battlefield, and he knew that in the army, respect could only be earned one way…
By showing strength!
Liu Bai slowly stepped into the circle. Vice General Li stretched his limbs and grinned at him, “Young Master Liu, watch yourself!”
With that, he rushed forward and grabbed for Liu Bai’s waist.
He quickly got a grip and smiled—he hadn’t expected it to go so smoothly.
Then he braced himself, feet planted, and pushed with all his might, aiming to force Liu Bai out of the ring.
But…
Liu Bai didn’t budge.
Vice General Li felt like he was pushing not a man, but an immovable mountain!
“Out you go!!” he roared, unleashing his full strength.
Still useless.
Liu Bai stood firm, as if his feet were fused with the ground. No matter how hard Vice General Li pushed, he couldn’t move him an inch. The source of this chapter is g.com.
“Vice General Li, be careful,” Liu Bai said calmly, then reached out and grabbed his opponent’s arm.
With a single arm, he lifted him. Vice General Li suddenly felt the world spin—his body was completely out of control.
He was thrown clean out of the circle.
The crowd gasped.
What the hell!
He casually tossed a soldier nearing the Battle Spirit Realm out of the ring.
What kind of strength was that?!
“So powerful! Vice General Li looked completely helpless against him. They’re not even on the same level!”
“Too strong!”
“So this is the strength of the youngest Battle Spirit in the Great Zhou?”
“Absolutely terrifying…”
The soldiers looked at Liu Bai with a trace of fear in their eyes.
The strength he had just displayed demanded respect from everyone present.
Vice General Li looked at him, expression complicated.
Though he didn’t want to admit it, he had no choice—Liu Bai’s strength far surpassed his own.
He and Luo Li were indeed a perfect match.
He felt miserable at the thought.
But he truly admired Liu Bai.
“Young Master Liu, I’ve learned my lesson,” Vice General Li said, cupping his fists.
In the army, survival was simple—strength was everything.
If you were strong enough, you could win everyone’s respect.
“Heh, this game’s quite fun. Anyone else want to try?” Liu Bai smiled.
He looked around.
The crowd exchanged glances. Vice General Li was the strongest among them, and even he lost. The rest didn’t stand a chance.
Seeing no one respond, Liu Bai’s lips curled.
“Actually, you can all come at me together.”
Today, Liu Bai was going to make these soldiers completely convinced—mind and body!
