Chapter 76: Shock (Part 1)

  Lei Xiang's words had barely left his mouth when Jiang Lie's figure appeared in front of Jiang Hao, "You're Lei Xiang? If you want to touch my fourth brother, you'll have to get past me first."

  "Second brother, don't worry, I can handle it, you can rest assured." Jiang Hao patted Jiang Lie's back and said softly.

  "Lei Xiang, Deputy Commander, I wonder if I can stay and become the Commander after defeating you?"

  Lei Xiang shook his head at Jiang Hao and said, "It's not that easy, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at us. We're used to being free and unruly here, so suddenly having an outsider come in and manage us is a bit unpalatable for the brothers. If you can beat me, maybe the brothers will agree to let you stay. Otherwise, even if Jiang Tianmiao comes out to support you, we won't submit to you."

  Jiang Hao smiled, "Very well, let's win first and talk later." When he first came to the military camp, Jiang Hao's idea was simple, just to cultivate himself well. However, after experiencing Ouyang Sheng's affair, Jiang Hao's idea changed. In the military camp, having only strength is not enough; you need to have people you can trust, and make others believe in you. Being low-key in the military camp doesn't work. So Jiang Hao took the opportunity to take over Ouyang's military department. If it were those who follow the rules, Jiang Hao might not have wanted to be the commander, but seeing these unruly soldiers, Jiang Hao decided to make this place his starting point in the military camp.

  Lei Xiang strode out of the crowd, walking slowly towards Jiang Hao's direction. As he took his first step, a fierce and sharp killing aura burst forth, like a meat grinder, distorting the surrounding air. The air was suddenly filled with an orange mist, and two orange water balls the size of human heads appeared in Lei Xiang's hands. Under this misty shroud, Jiang Hao felt his internal battle energy slow down, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

  "Teacher, what is this?" Jiang Hao asked in his heart.

  "Hiss, a water-attribute warrior, truly rare. It seems this guy has the strength of an eight-star warrior. Among the five elements, water overcomes fire, heh heh, you'd better be careful." The voice of Yi Tian lightly transmitted into Jiang Hao's mind.

  "Water attribute warrior, is it very powerful?"

  "Nonsense, I seem to have told you before that the five elements of combat are divided into wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Among them, fire is the most abundant while water is the rarest. Water, as the source of all things, has its own unique aspect. Just like fire, when a water-attribute warrior advances to the next rank, the color of their water changes, going through white, orange, yellow, green, blue, red, purple and black. His orange color is so deep, it should be close to that of a nine-star combat master."

  Just as Jiang Hao and Tian spoke, Lei Xiang moved. The Eight-Star War Master's peak was seemingly weaker than Ouyang Sheng's cultivation, but Tian's words also gave Jiang Hao a sense of security. As the water attribute spread out, Jiang Hao's soul power was hindered to some extent. Lei Xiang's figure seemed to be in the midst of a vast ocean, drifting and unpredictable.

  Jiang Hao, although not afraid, after all, only has four-star strength. When facing Ouyang Sheng, because the opponent couldn't use martial skills and was overconfident, he could win with one move. Wanting to use the same method against Lei Xiang is obviously unlikely.

  In almost a single breath, Lei Xiang had already arrived in front of Jiang Heng, the orange water ball in his hand slapping towards Jiang Heng's head from both sides.

  Jiang Hao smiled faintly and didn't seem to have any intention of dodging.

  Lei Xiang saw this, and his hands moved even faster. The water ball struck Jiang Hao's body fiercely, exploding rapidly, and a sticky war aura covered Jiang Hao's body surface tightly.

  Chen Hao and others saw this, their faces also relaxed a bit. Lei Xiang's move was one that even Ouyang Jun didn't dare to take head-on. The greatest advantage of the water attribute battle energy was its formlessness and adhesion. As long as it stuck to you, you'd be skinned alive if not killed. Seeing Jiang Huan being hit directly, everyone couldn't help but look down on him a bit more.

  Hmph!

  Lei Xiang's eyes were also fixed, and in the next moment, his hands had already become a fierce rear wheel.

  A loud muffled sound, Lei Xiang's shoulders shook, and his body was shaken forward one step, while a figure in the air slowly appeared, it was Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao's body also shook, and he retreated four or five steps back. Obviously, in a pure contest of strength, Jiang Hao ultimately fell short.

  Everyone was staring at Jiang Hao's slowly falling figure with a look of astonishment, wondering in their hearts how Jiang Hao had escaped Lei Xiang's water attribute battle aura.

  Lei Xiang waved his right hand, and the water attribute battle energy he had released earlier was actually all taken back by him. Below, it was empty and desolate, where was Jiang Hao's shadow?

  Lei Xiang's face was already filled with a sense of foreboding, and on the surface, it seemed like Jiang Huan had gained the upper hand. However, Lei Xiang had already used his battle technique, while Jiang Huan didn't seem to have used any internal energy at all. Moreover, Jiang Huan's movements were too strange and unpredictable. If not for the fact that Lei Xiang's released mist had a probing effect, he would probably have been caught off guard by Jiang Huan already. Lei Xiang narrowed his eyes as he gazed at Jiang Huan, feeling a deep sense of astonishment in his heart - was this guy really only ten years old?

  Don't think that Lei Xiang's body is not strong enough. As a water attribute warrior, apart from having great attacking power, his defensive power is also very strong. Using softness to overcome stiffness is one of the advantages of water attributes. Moreover, Lei Xiang has always paid attention to physical training, and even his skills are biased towards self-protection. So, when using combat techniques, his strength is only slightly stronger than Jiang Huan's, that is to say, in terms of physical strength, he is not as good as Jiang Huan.

  However, Lei Xiang can sit in the position of Lao Da here, and his actual combat experience is really too rich. Among the people Jiang Hao knows, even his own brother, may not be able to compare with this deputy commander who has been following Ouyang Sheng through life and death, struggling on the edge of life and death countless times.

  Although Lei Xiang was surprised in his heart, it did not affect his movements. With a slight turn of his body, the next moment, his figure had already flashed out again, transforming into a water bullet that shot straight at Jiang Huan. While in mid-air, thick orange water arrows suddenly burst forth from his body, their crystal-clear arrowheads spinning rapidly as they tore through the air, producing an ear-piercing sonic boom. The water arrows came from all directions, sealing off all of Jiang Huan's possible routes. There was no need to doubt the power of these water arrows; any one of them could directly pierce through a normal warrior's defenses.

  Unfortunately, Jiang Hao was not an ordinary war master.

  Jiang Hao did not dodge this time, his eyes suddenly fixed, a faint golden light burst out from his body, forming a thin layer of light on the surface. The light membrane was very thin, so thin that it could hardly be seen if one didn't look carefully.

  Boom!

  Jiang Hao's movements were swift, and the crowd only saw a flash of golden light. The next moment, those water arrows had all struck Jiang Hao's body. This was a real and solid impact, and the shockwaves that spread out from it caused Chen Hao and others to change color in fright.

  However, Lei Xiang's face became even more solemn, his eyes fixed intently on the center of the water arrow explosion.

  A figure slowly appeared in the eyes of the crowd, with a faint golden light emanating from it. Occasionally, a thread of black flame could be seen entwining around it. The mist surrounding Jiang Huan would rapidly recoil whenever it came into contact with the black flame, as if it was something extremely formidable. Lei Xiang's heart was filled with shock at this moment. His attribute was only one - water. As a result, his cultivation speed was much faster than others, and due to its singularity, he should theoretically be able to overpower Jiang Huan's fire attribute.

  "What's this flame?" Lei Xiang asked.

  Jiang Hao glanced at the stunned crowd and smiled, saying "Hei Yan".

  "Hei Yan, it's actually Hei Yan, the legendary dragon clan's unique flame. No wonder." Lei Xiang suddenly enlightened, and his eyes looking at Jiang Hao had a few more sparkles.

  "Heh heh, Deputy General Lei Xiang, it's my turn next. You'd better be careful." Jiang Hao chuckled lightly and his figure slowly dissipated the next moment.

  Roar!

  Jiang Hao's figure appeared above Lei Xiang's head, a dragon's roar suddenly rose, and the golden light surged violently, like a golden sun hanging in the air. A terrifying pressure spread out, and those ordinary soldiers were shocked by the dragon's roar and couldn't move. Chen Hao and others had cold sweat all over their faces.

  The golden light gradually dissipated, and Jiang Hao's figure reappeared. The blue long shirt on his body had disappeared, revealing his bare upper body, with a pale complexion, and fine dragon scales covering his hands. Even his chest was covered with a large piece of dragon scale the size of a palm. His originally black hair had turned golden yellow. In addition, Jiang Hao's eyes seemed even deeper, and a several-meter-long dragon aura coiled around his body. As the dragon aura churned, the sound of a dragon's roar faintly echoed through.

  "Lei Xiang, Deputy General, take my move, Flying Dragon Rising to Heaven!" Jiang Hao shouted loudly, with an even more intense light in his eyes. The next moment, the faint golden dragon energy on his body suddenly shook violently, broke free from his body, and rushed towards Lei Xiang with a loud roar.

  At that moment when the dragon's aura was released, Lei Xiang suddenly found that his body couldn't move. In the blink of an eye, the dragon's aura had already appeared in front of him.

  As an eight-star warrior, Lei Xiang would not sit idly by. With a fierce stomp of his right foot, several thick orange water curtains had already been set up. His body flashed with light and began to ripple like water, revealing a wave-like pattern on his skin.

  The next moment, the dragon energy had descended.

  Under the gaze of everyone's shock, the few water curtains laid down by Leixiang were only blocked for a moment before being pierced through by the dragon energy, which continued to charge forward with undiminished momentum and heavily struck against Leixiang's right chest.

  Hehe!

  Just like hot oil was poured onto the icy water, the ripples on Lei Xiang's body continued to spread out, and the strong water vapor formed a dazzling halo. However, the dragon energy also dimmed slightly, but with a flash of black light, the intense water attribute battle energy suddenly retreated. The dragon energy crashed into Lei Xiang's body with a loud bang, and in the next moment, Lei Xiang's not-so-sturdy body was already flying out, heavily falling into the crowd.

  Everyone's mouth was agape as they stared straight at Jiang Heng, who seemed like a god of war in the air, with sounds of swallowing saliva rising and falling.

  "Who else objects?"

  Jiang Hao's eyes, which were as black as ink, swept across the crowd, his indifferent voice echoing in everyone's ears like a devilish melody.
