The Third Lieutenant

Xu Mo finally got serious when facing Leng Qun. He took a step back and poured the Chongming Bird's strength. Then, he pushed forward and landed a punch.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the two fists collided in midair without any fancy moves!

Both sides retreated.

However, Xu Mo only took a step back before he stopped. Leng Qun took a full twelve steps back before he stopped retreating.

The outcome of the collision was clear.

"You... You're not just 1-star Silver-ranked, you..."

Leng Qun's face was flushed red with disbelief. He could no longer clench his right fist.

After becoming an Inheritor for so long, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation!

"I'm 9-star Silver-ranked." Xu Mo did not hide anything and told the truth.

"9-star Silver…" Leng Qun's expression froze, and he felt like spitting out blood.

"Thank you, Lieutenant Leng!" Xu Mo stopped while he was ahead. He cupped his hands at the other party and looked calm.

Leng Qun's lips trembled for a long time, but he did not know what to say. His expression was a little awkward.

He had thought that with his 6-star Silver rank, it would be easy for him to probe into Xu Mo's background.

However, the truth was beyond his expectations!

The young man standing opposite him was actually three stars stronger than him!

To avoid further embarrassment, Xu Mo paused on the stage for a moment. Seeing that Leng Qun was still standing there in a daze, he turned around and walked off the stage.

Seeing this scene, Leng Qun subconsciously reached out to stop Xu Mo, but in the end, he retracted his hand.

After a long time, he shook his head with a bitter smile and turned to leave the stage.

Below the arena, the crowd that was prepared to watch the show had yet to recover from their shock.

Whether it was Xu Mo's battle with Wang Lei or his battle with Leng Qun, it was all decided with one punch.

The two duels had probably taken less than ten seconds to decide the final winner.

"Even Lieutenant Leng is not his match?" Wang Lei, who had just gotten off the stage, was stunned.

Behind him, the other division's leaders and members were also flabbergasted.

Among them, Zhu Jian, the Blue Dragon Division's leader, was the most shocked. He was completely dumbfounded.

"That kid lied to me. He clearly said that he was only at 1-star Silver rank yesterday. That punch just now definitely had more than the strength of that level!"

Leng Qun was also Zhu Jian's immediate superior. He had seen the punch Leng Qun had exchanged with Xu Mo.

The superior that he had always regarded as his idol and goal was actually defeated by a new recruit in one move. This was unacceptable to him in every way.

"Another punch and Leng Qun was defeated just like that?"

Beside Zeng Rong's, the other lieutenant named Zhang Jun had a solemn expression.

He watched the spar in the arena just now. He was certain that Leng Qun didn't hold back.

Based on the strength Leng Qun had displayed with that punch, even Zhang Jun couldn't say he would be able to make the former retreat more than ten steps!

Even if he could do it, the price he had to pay wouldn't be as simple as taking a step back like Xu Mo did.

But if that was the case, could it be that he himself wasn't Xu Mo's match? Zhang Jun fell into deep self-doubt.

The sparring match ended just like that.

Everyone returned to the conference room and looked at Xu Mo, who was sitting next to Zeng Rong, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

Until now, there were still people who couldn't believe that he was a new recruit who had just inherited a bloodline.

However, this newbie's strength had already far surpassed everyone present.

Thinking of this, everyone, including Zeng Rong, had ugly expressions on their faces.

This was because anyone could imagine that a person as strong as Xu Mo would definitely not be able to stay in the admiral's mansion for a long time. 

His future wouldn't be limited to his current achievements.

However, no one expected Xu Mo to be sitting in his seat, still reminiscing about his battle with Leng Qun.

As expected of a 6-star Silver rank. Leng Qun's attack was the strongest he had ever seen so far.

Moreover, Leng Qun had fought him without using his bloodline, so it was obvious that the other party didn't use his full strength. Xu Mo thought it was a good thing he had won.

If it was really on the battlefield, he wasn't sure if she could take down Leng Qun as easily!

If Leng Qun knew what Xu Mo was thinking about now, he would've vomited blood.

This is because he did use his full strength, but due to this special situation, he was even stronger when he didn't use his bloodline beast's power.

However, no one in the mansion, including Zeng Rong and Zhang Jun, knew about this.

"I'm holding today's meeting to announce one thing." Zeng Rong slowly stood up, looked around, and solemnly announced.

"From now on, Xu Mo will be the third lieutenant in our jurisdiction. Does anyone have any objections?"

The meeting room was silent. No one raised any objections, and everyone was pulling their heads, looking listless.

When Zeng Rong saw this scene, he could not help but feel angry and also amused.

Everyone was in the same camp, but they looked so defeated from the spar.

Fortunately, no powerful monsters had joined during the monster tide yesterday. Otherwise, who knew how miserable these people in front of him would look?

"Did you hear that clearly?" Zeng Rong suddenly raised his voice, jolting everyone awake.

"We heard you clearly, Admiral!" Everyone stood up and looked at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo quickly stood up, but before he could say anything, the system suddenly sent a notification in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for conquering everyone in the admiral's mansion. The reward is +5% fusion rate!]

After Xu Mo read the notification, his eyes widened. He didn't expect such a surprise!

"Lieutenant Xu, from now on, we'll be comrades who eat from the same pot. Let's go, come with me to make the arrangements today. I'll welcome you and introduce you to our defense zone…"

Before everyone could react, Zhu Jian stepped forward and dragged Xu Mo away. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the mansion.

"F*ck, Zhu Jian that b*tch. He's really a thief!"

"Out of everyone, that guy really makes sure he's the first to bootlick!"

"Seems like only that fellow can get close to Xu Mo. I'm aafraid Old Leng won't be as popular anymore in the future!"

"Get lost!"

On the city wall, Zhu Jian pulled Xu Mo to look around while pointing everywhere.

"Lieutenant Xu, look at this area. In the future, it will be under our supervision!"

"Just now, the admiral mentioned that you have the highest law enforcement power. In the future, you can move around freely in the four gates."

As Zhu Jian introduced the situation in the area to Xu Mo, his eyes couldn't get any more envious.

The highest law enforcement power was almost equivalent to that of the admiral. Zeng Rong had publicly given Xu Mo that authority.

Giving Xu Mo that power meant he had the right to do whatever he wanted in the mansion in the future, and he can intervene in everything.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Jian was so polite and flattering toward Xu Mo. After all, no one would suck up to a person if it didn't come with benefits.
