(Second Update) 926: Chapter 936: Public Opinion Vote!
(Second Update) “In the end, I am the Divine Dragon General.
Are you envious?” Tang Zhong said with a smile.
As soon as these words left his mouth, the crowd erupted in uproar.
It did seem to be true.
No matter how these family disciples targeted one another today, it was all futile.
After all, Tang Zhong was undeniably the Divine Dragon General, personally endorsed by the First Figure.
After speaking, Tang Zhong smiled broadly and looked at Yan Long and the others.
Yan Long didn’t even want to exchange words with Tang Zhong.
Yet Tang Zhong continued to ask, “How do you feel about all this?”
Yan Long and his group were almost about to explode with rage.
Indeed, they were furious, but there was nothing they could do to change the outco.
Just like twenty years ago, when their families’ elders tried all they could, they still couldn’t strip the title of Cavalry General—because the First Figure had officially bestowed it!
“Doesn’t it make you all incredibly uncomfortable?” Tang Zhong pressed further.
“You…” Yan Long stared at Tang Zhong’s figure ahead, his face visibly darkened.
“Your face, why has it suddenly turned so red?
Could it be you’ve contracted so illness?
And the rest of you, if you’re unwell, you should seek treatnt!” Tang Zhong said with a grin.
Lei Tian, Cheng Wu, and Li Ao clenched their fists in utter fury, itching to rush forward and tear Tang Zhong apart.
Peng Yuan, seated in the audience, had initially been worried about Tang Zhong, but upon hearing these words, he secretly chuckled.
Back then, it was the heavy psychological pressure that had made him so aggrieved.
After all, no matter how those guys targeted him, Tang Zhong was indeed an officially appointed general!
Bai Xiaochun also smiled.
She felt satisfied and was genuinely happy for Tang Zhong.
Yan Long squinted his eyes, initially believing that with the backing of his family’s influence, he could completely suppress Tang Zhong to the point of silence.
Even if Tang Zhong beca a titled general, he thought he’d be nothing more than a disgraced one.
But to his surprise, Tang Zhong had chosen the exact opposite approach.
“What are you waiting for?
Proceed with the ceremony!
Or could it be that you’re foolishly bold enough to defy the First Figure’s orders?” Tang Zhong roared at Yan Long.
“Foolishly bold!”
The surrounding crowd couldn’t help but flinch in astonishnt.
Calling Yan Long a dog—it was tantamount to calling the entire Yan Family dogs!
This man certainly wasn’t afraid of stirring up trouble.
Opposing the authority of multiple families was shocking enough, but such insults?
Soone like this wouldn’t survive long in this circle.
“What did you just say?” Yan Long’s entire body bristled with rage.
Just like when Tang Zhong had previously ordered him to get lost, anger surged uncontrollably within him.
“I said your foolishly bold defiance knows no limit.
Why, don’t you agree?
The First Figure had you co here to bear witness to the appointnt of a titled general, which was intended for your family to assist in carrying out the First Figure’s will.
But instead, you ca here to question his decisions.
The First Figure chose as a titled general for a reason.
Yet your Yan Family dares to resist—do you think the First Figure’s decision is wrong?
Or, perhaps, you fancy yourselves capable of altering his judgnt?
Looks like I’ll need to report this matter to the First Figure.
It’s clear your Yan Family harbors impure thoughts,” Tang Zhong said with a sneer.
Yan Long didn’t dare to respond.
That accusation was too heavy to bear.
If Yan Long dared to accept it, it would an certain death—openly defying the First Figure?
He wouldn’t risk it!
The gathered crowd fell silent, watching Tang Zhong as if he were a deity.
This man truly feared nothing, wielding the First Figure’s authority as leverage.
Indeed, the Yan Family couldn’t utter a word now, but what about the future?
Everyone knew that being appointed Divine Dragon General ant serving within Xuanguan Sea.
The Yan Family wielded imnse power there—even Yan Chihuo alone was formidable, let alone the countless Yan Family successors.
Their influence could easily shake Xuanguan Sea.
This newcor was far too reckless.
If only he lay low for a few years to build substantial strength, the Yan Family might still remain intimidating, but at least he wouldn’t need to fear them.
Now, though, many foresaw no promising future for him.
Seeing Yan Long remain silent, Tang Zhong kept pressing.
“What are you waiting for?
Hurry up with the ceremony!
Have you lost your tongue?”
“You…” Yan Long’s face grew even darker.
The atmosphere on the scene instantly reached a fever pitch, the tension palpable like a taut bowstring.
“Don’t push your luck…” Yan Long growled through clenched teeth.
“Threatening ?” Tang Zhong replied icily.
“Don’t think that just because you’re the Divine Dragon General—a title endorsed by the First Figure—you can act without restraint.
Kid, don’t get too arrogant.
Besides, if I threaten you, what can you possibly do about it?” Yan Long retorted coldly before stepping forward to face Tang Zhong directly.
The surrounding crowd was stunned.
What should have been a peaceful appointnt ceremony had escalated to this level—they didn’t dare to speak, opting to watch silently.
Intervening now would be pointless!
Suddenly, Tang Zhong grinned.
“What I detest most are those who try to threaten .
Generally speaking, with people like that, I’ll crush them!”
“Crush ?
You dare lay a hand on , and you’ll lose your position as general…” Yan Long had only begun to laugh coldly when he was cut off.
A sharp pain erupted in his chest.
In a swift motion, Tang Zhong lifted his leg and stomped down fiercely, aiming directly at Yan Long’s head!
The imnse force drove Yan Long straight into the ground—all of him buried below, with only his head visible.
The sheer strength tore at his body, snapping several ridians.
Now lying underground, wailing in agony, Yan Long was utterly humiliated.
Tang Zhong could have killed him, but he didn’t.
After all, this was his Divine Dragon General appointnt ceremony.
“Consider this a lesson… next ti, I’ll kill you!”
None of the onlookers could have anticipated such an event.
They were all dumbfounded.
This man had to be one of those legendary Martial Artists; otherwise, such power was impossible.
And yet, despite being a Martial Artist, he dared to strike soone—an heir of the Yan Family, no less!
Didn’t he realize the Yan Family was practically synonymous with the Martial Arts Family in Xuanguan Sea?
This was no different from courting death.
The Yan Family elders were infamously protective of their younger generations.
Cheng Wu, Lei Tian, and other descendants of various families were also left speechless.
They were privileged family heirs, unaccustod to anyone challenging them, let alone laying a hand on them in combat.
Yan Long scread in pain, humiliated by Tang Zhong yet again—and in front of everyone.
He dismissed Tang Zhong’s claim of killing him, finding it laughable.
“Help !” Yan Long cried out.
Cheng Wu attempted to pull Yan Long out of the ground but couldn’t budge him.
The only way to free Yan Long would be to dismantle the surrounding area.
This deepened Yan Long’s sense of disgrace, his eyes blood-red as he roared, “You’re finished!
My Yan Family will never let you off!
You’re just a Divine Dragon General, don’t forget—you aren’t confird yet.
Whether you can officially beco the general is still up to us.
My Yan Family holds significant influence, as does everyone here.”
Yan Long wasn’t so entitled wastrel; he was a true elite.
But for so reason, standing before Tang Zhong, his brilliance dimd to nothing.
Cheng Wu and the others, hearing Yan Long’s words, suddenly recalled sothing—the democratic veto power!
In a titled general appointnt ceremony, a democratic vote could be initiated.
If half the attendees believed the appointee was unfit to serve as a titled general, the appointnt could be revoked.
That had been tradition for years.
After all, titled generals were extraordinarily rare, so their selection involved democratic checks and balances.
Of course, this rule had never been invoked before.
The First Figure’s orders were usually unquestionable.
Even if soone felt the appointed general was unworthy, they would simply undermine him behind the scenes.
But today, Yan Long was determined to exploit this rule.
“You assaulted here!
Do you have any respect for law and order?
A person like you—how can you possibly deserve to be a titled general?” Yan Long shouted, then bellowed, “I now call for a democratic vote!
Those who believe this man is unfit to serve as a titled general, raise your hand now!
Let see!”
“But before raising your hands, I urge everyone to think carefully.
Avoid making a mistake!”
Upon hearing this, the entire room held its breath.
