(Five Updates) 924: Chapter 934: I Accept the Enthronent!
(Five Updates) Peng Yuan, the old general, rely glanced at the podium and imdiately flew into a rage.
Because what he saw on the podium was a group of entirely young people!
How could he possibly feel satisfied?
The title of General is a special honor granted by the foremost figure of Xuan Country, announced jointly by nurous prominent figures of the Martial Realm!
Now, those important figures were not present.
Instead, there was a group of juniors—how could Old General Peng possibly tolerate this?
The scene was exactly the sa as twenty years ago!
“We’re leaving…” Peng Yuan said coldly, flinging his arm, and dragging Tang Zhong toward the door.
Next to him, Tang Zhong hesitated for a mont upon hearing this, appearing confused: “Old General, we’ve already arrived.
Why suddenly decide to leave?
Didn’t you wish for to beco a titled general?”
“What I wish for is for you to gain more recognition, not to face sothing like this!” Old General Peng Yuan said angrily.
Tang Zhong’s gaze swept across the podium and quickly landed on the faces of Yan Long and the others.
His eyes narrowed to a line.
He almost instantly understood why Old General Peng Yuan was angry, though Peng Yuan’s fury seed excessive.
“It’s nothing, Old General.
Being a titled general is just a title!” Tang Zhong said with a smile.
“No…
This is clearly an attack against you!” Old General Peng sighed.
“It’s my fault for dragging you into this!”
“Not at all!
Without you, I would probably have died in Yun Country long ago.
You saved , Old General—how could I not be grateful?” Tang Zhong replied.
“No…
no.
Do you realize that today’s scene is identical to what I experienced twenty years ago?” Old General Peng Yuan sighed heavily.
Twenty years ago?
Tang Zhong’s eyes lit up.
“Could it be, Old General, that you were the seventh titled general?” Tang Zhong asked.
“Yes, I was known as the General of Galloping Cavalry!” Peng Yuan sighed, speaking of the title with an air of helplessness.
“That’s a good thing!” Tang Zhong said.
This revelation surprised him, but it raised another question—if Peng Yuan was once the General of Galloping Cavalry, why was he so insistent on Tang Zhong becoming the Divine Dragon General?
Suddenly, Tang Zhong recalled Peng Yuan’s earlier words about history repeating itself.
Surely, there must be a hidden story behind this.
“Old General, what exactly happened twenty years ago?” Tang Zhong asked.
“It’s nothing…
It’s nothing, just forget about it.
We don’t need today’s titled generalship!” Peng Yuan pulled Tang Zhong, prepared to leave.
“No…
we need it!” Tang Zhong said firmly, his resolve strengthening.
From Peng Yuan’s expression, it was evident he had been targeted twenty years ago.
And now, Tang Zhong was experiencing the exact sa scenario.
At this mont, on the podium, Yan Long and the others had already noticed Peng Yuan and Tang Zhong entering.
Originally, they thought the two would join smoothly, yet their actions suggested hesitation.
It seed the old man was overwheld by the mories attached to this place.
However, how could Yan Long possibly let them leave?
Twenty years ago, the Yan Family managed to humiliate Peng Yuan.
Today, they were equally prepared to strip the so-called Divine Dragon General of his dignity.
Their fathers had once joined forces to disgrace Peng Yuan.
Would their generation, honing their skills, fail to deal with one Divine Dragon General?
After all, the title of General was reserved exclusively for descendants of prominent families within the Martial Realm.
What business did a farr’s son, resorting to opportunistic tactics, have claiming such a position?
And the other candidate, though not of farming origin, ca from a minor family—how could they possibly compare to the elite families within the Martial Realm?
What right did they have to receive the title of General?
Seeing Peng Yuan and Tang Zhong about to leave, Yan Long rose from his seat.
Having already recovered from being struck by Tang Zhong, he spoke up.
“Old General Peng, you’ve arrived at last with the Divine Dragon General.
Let’s proceed with the conferral!” Yan Long said.
In an instant, all eyes in the hall turned to the entrance of the Martial Realm Pavilion.
Peng Yuan and Tang Zhong were just about to exit when soone called out to them.
“These scoundrels…” Peng Yuan muttered under his breath, cursing.
“These bastards intend to repeat history!
Truly a malicious bunch!”
“Old General, if they’re calling, why not stay?” Tang Zhong laughed.
“But these people clearly an to target you!” Peng Yuan said, agitated.
“Then let them co—what’s there to fear?” Tang Zhong said, grinning as he rubbed his nose.
Looking straight at the people on the podium, he spoke coldly once more: “Besides, have they ever mattered to ?
Today, as the Divine Dragon General, I am determined to claim this honor for the Dragon Group with glory!”
Peng Yuan froze and looked at Tang Zhong.
Twenty years ago, in this exact place, he had faced a similar situation.
His anger at the ti led to the General of Galloping Cavalry ceremony being hastily concluded.
As the son of a farr, he had been targeted by the heirs of the elite; facing them stirred feelings of inferiority.
Thus, the ceremony beca one of his greatest regrets—a shadow he longed to erase but never could.
Now, he had pinned his hopes on Tang Zhong, hoping he could stand proud where Peng Yuan had faltered twenty years before.
Yet fate seed to have repeated itself, subjecting Tang Zhong to the sa trials.
Back then, Peng Yuan chose to endure.
Today, Tang Zhong chose to resist.
“Good!” Peng Yuan gazed at Tang Zhong and nodded.
Perhaps this young man could truly deliver the shock he had long awaited.
After all, during their ti together, Tang Zhong had exceeded Peng Yuan’s expectations on many occasions.
anwhile, the entire Martial Realm Pavilion eagerly anticipated seeing who the new Divine Dragon General would be.
It was widely known that when the foremost figure announced the decision to grant the title, many families sent their heirs to compete.
Yet the final title went to soone entirely unknown, leaving them curious—it seed unlikely for this individual to possess extraordinary abilities.
Yet as they now took their first look at Tang Zhong, they froze in surprise—he was clearly a re youth.
At this mont, Bai Ruoxing’s gaze also turned toward Tang Zhong.
When his eyes landed on Tang Zhong, he grew increasingly certain he had seen this person sowhere before.
Suddenly, it struck him, and he hurriedly called his daughter: “Xiaochun, Xiaochun, look quickly at the Divine Dragon General!”
Bai Xiaochun, still annoyed by the informal nature of the conferral event, was looking at her phone.
Hearing her father’s eager call, she reluctantly looked up.
“Dad, what is it?”
“Quickly, look at that person!” Bai Ruoxing said excitedly.
“Look at who?
Who are you talking about?
Alright, alright, I’ll look.” Bai Xiaochun turned her head and locked eyes on the distant figure.
For a mont, her pupils widened—wasn’t that Tang Zhong?
Why was he here?
Seeing the brand-new military uniform Tang Zhong wore, Bai Xiaochun covered her mouth.
Could it be that the Divine Dragon General to be conferred today was Tang Zhong?
At this mont, Tang Zhong paid no further attention to Peng Yuan.
Today, the ceremony for the Divine Dragon General was not just his—it was for Peng Yuan as well.
No matter what the old general had endured in the past, today, Tang Zhong vowed to erase that sha!
He turned toward Yan Long and the others ahead and said with a smile, “Alright, I accept the conferral!”
