CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 169 APPOINTMENT OF THE CAPTAIN

One slash.

A streak of blood shot up.

-23000!

Ye Chen leapt into the air.

The Thunder Shocking Blade, infused with the Power of Thunder, slashed onto the Lion-headed Toad’s back.

"Celestial Fury Thunder Attraction!"

An explosion sounded on the Lion-headed Toad’s back.

A dazzling white light erupted at that spot.

The glare forced the five toads to close their eyes.

The Lion-headed Toad finally succumbed to the pressure, kneeling on the ground.

The Vajra Ape had already recovered.

With a roar, pounding its chest, it entered Frenzy.

The Heaven-Fixing Divine Rod instantly expanded four times larger, its shape even thicker than an ordinary utility pole.

The Vajra Ape gripped the Heaven-Fixing Divine Rod with both hands and smashed it directly onto the Lion-headed Toad’s head.

Bang!

A muffled sound.

The blow crushed the Lion-headed Toad’s head down.

The toads cursed angrily, "You four, get up!"

The four of them responded and hurriedly summoned their pets, which charged forward.

However, at this point, sending the four pets forward was no different than sending them to their doom.

Four level 10 pets posed no threat to Blood Asura’s five small companions.

The Vajra Ape stepped on the Lion-headed Toad’s head.

Leaped up with the force.

And smashed the Heaven-Fixing Divine Rod onto the nearest pet.

Bang!

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

In an instant, the spine of a small Black-footed Golden Leopard was shattered.

Roar! Roar!

The Black-footed Golden Leopard collapsed to the ground, letting out agonizing cries.

These four pets were already in a half-blood state, making it extremely easy for the Vajra Ape to deal with them.

(Most pets, as their blood volume decreases, their offense and defense gradually weaken)

The Vajra Ape looked at the Black-footed Golden Leopard groaning in pain with no trace of pity.

It raised the Heaven-Fixing Divine Rod high and smashed it down on the Black-footed Golden Leopard’s head.

One strike!

The Black-footed Golden Leopard’s blood volume instantly dropped to less than ten thousand!

Without hesitation, the Vajra Ape landed another blow.

The Black-footed Golden Leopard’s head burst open, splattering blood and brain matter all over the Vajra Ape.

The Black-footed Golden Leopard perished.

The Lion-headed Toad had also been besieged by the four companions to a residual blood state.

With a Shadow Assault from Blood Asura, the Lion-headed Toad’s life was ended.

The toads fell to the ground, eyes filled with disbelief, devoid of life.

The remaining three people were utterly shocked and panicked.

After dealing with the Lion-headed Toad, Blood Asura came to the side of the Vajra Ape and launched a fierce attack on the remaining three pets.

In less than two minutes, the remaining three also died.

The members of the Star Alliance, watching from the Huihai KTV lobby, erupted in excited cheers!

"Lord Blood Demon, so cool!"

"Lord Blood Demon, awesome!"

Their eyes shimmering with admiration and love, a group of girls exclaimed.

A daring one directly shouted.

"Lord Blood Demon, so handsome! I want to have babies with you!"

"Lord Blood Demon! I love you!"

Yu Nian and Lin Nuoyi turned their heads upon hearing this, their eyes filled with displeasure.

The girls quickly shut their mouths upon seeing this.

Yu Nian and Lin Nuoyi saw each other’s expressions, felt their cheeks heat up, and bowed their heads.

If observed closely, the two had already flushed to the tips of their ears.

A group of men looked on with envy at the five.

While envious, their hearts were filled with pride.

They felt proud to be part of the Star Alliance, for having such a powerful Alliance Leader and Vice Alliance Leader!

At the same time, they all clapped vigorously in unison.

Zhu Qiang stepped forward to gather the spoils and handed them to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen came before them.

The crowd immediately rushed over, forming a line automatically.

Ye Chen looked at the three level 10 individuals and one level 9 individual in the crowd.

He had noticed them during the battle.

The three level 10 fighters were extremely fierce; even when besieged by two members of the Cyan Alliance, they showed no weakness.

Moreover, their combat experience was relatively rich, displaying calm during the chaos.

As for that level 9 individual, more extraordinary still.

When a fierce tiger was poised to enter the lobby and hunt those inside, he astonishingly commanded his pet to use its body as a shield.

Ye Chen approached the level 9 individual and smiled, "What’s your name?"

"Alliance Leader, my name is Zhang Haonan!"

"Haonan?" Ye Chen thought of the leader of Tongluowan.

Ye Chen asked, "Why didn’t you dodge against the level 10 tiger, and instead resisted to the death?"

Zhang Haonan replied without hesitation, "Because behind me are my allies! They are also my family. If I dodge, it’s my family and my allies who’ll suffer the damage!"

Ye Chen felt a bit shocked in his heart, surprised that in such a short day, Zhang Haonan had developed such camaraderie.

It was only later that Ye Chen learned that Zhang Haonan had suffered from domestic violence as a child. After the turmoil, his family perished in the conflicts, leaving him without friends. Post chaos, he joined a small team where he was the weakest. His captain died before his eyes protecting him.

After the captain’s death, the team disbanded, prompting Zhang Haonan to vow to become a person like his captain.

Ye Chen looked at Zhang Haonan and took out a medal, inscribed with the word Captain, a blue medal.

"Zhang Haonan!"

"Here!"

Ye Chen said seriously, "I now appoint you as the captain of the first squad!"

Zhang Haonan stood there in a daze, staring at Ye Chen, while others looked at him with jealousy, but even more with admiration.

Seeing Zhang Haonan in a daze, Ye Chen found it amusing and called his name once more.

Only then did Zhang Haonan react, his eyes shining, accepting the medal with both hands.

Ye Chen patted Zhang Haonan’s shoulder with a smile, "I hope that in the future, you can protect your teammates as you did today and become an excellent captain!"

"Yes! I will not let the Alliance Leader down!"

Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

What Ye Chen didn’t know was that Zhang Haonan would eventually become an extremely powerful leader, commanding a team of stalwarts under him.

Ye Chen approached the three level 10 individuals.

He said, "What are your names?"

"Liang Yiqiang!"

"Li Xiangyang!"

"Yang Ming!"

Ye Chen took out three more captain medals and said, "In view of your brave performance, I now appoint you as the second, third, and fourth captains!"

"Yes!"

The three accepted their medals with excitement.

Ye Chen then took out four rare Three Star weapons and rewarded them to the four.

The four chose their preferred weapons, their eyes glowing, their expressions jubilant, their hearts filled with indescribable joy.

Those behind all looked on with envy.

They were envious but not jealous.

They knew that these were well-deserved rewards.

Ye Chen whispered to Lin Nuoyi, "Now it’s your turn to speak."

Lin Nuoyi quickly replied, "I don’t know what to say!"

Ye Chen continued, "As the alliance manager, you’ll be responsible for personnel arrangements in the future. You have to do these things!"

Lin Nuoyi nodded slowly, steeling himself to step forward.
