Chapter 874 - 406: Lei Chong Shows His Might—You Call Me a Scoundrel? Lend Me Your Ears and Hear My Thunder Sound!

Chapter 874: Chapter 406: Lei Chong Shows His Might—You Call Me a Scoundrel? Lend Me Your Ears and Hear My Thunder Sound!

Lei Chong clenched his fist, yet could not find his words. His heart was ablaze with fury, feeling that the dignity of "Lang General" was being greatly challenged. He was usually kind and friendly to the noble family disciples, with jokes and banter occurring from time to time. But he was especially harsh towards those from poor backgrounds, not smiling easily, and scolding and reprimanding had become the norm, often cloaked in the guise of "for your own good."

Those from humble origins either out of helplessness or fear or belief, without exception, showed utmost respect. Over time, Lei Chong felt his words were as authoritative as mountains, tried and tested. Now, someone was opposing him, the anger at this moment was imaginable.

Lei Chong quickly composed his speech, saying: "Fine! Since you want me to speak plainly, I won’t shield you. Let me ask you, what Martial Arts realm are you in?"

Li Xian replied: "Martial Arts Second Realm."

Lei Chong said: "Although you are new to the Gold Appraisal Guard, you have the capabilities of the Martial Arts Second Realm. The Chest Drum Thunder Sound is a characteristic of the Martial Arts First Realm. Yet you, a Second Realm Martial Artist, shamelessly compete with a group of First Realm Martial Artists. If this is not the petty villain causing mischief, what is it? You dare to argue!"

The noble family sons suddenly realized, and all took this as reason. The humiliation of being overshadowed earlier was completely swept away.

In truth... within the army camp, strength ranks above all. Those with higher Martial Arts realms and deeper prowess naturally rise to the top. How can one demand fairness everywhere? Each person’s family background, unique traits, and martial arts differ, how can they be compared equally.

Moreover, the Second Realm strengthens the bone structure. The Chest Drum Thunder Sound does indeed enhance, yet Li Xian’s twelve shocks in an instant, and a hundred and thirty-two sounds in one breath, is an exceptional performance. With Lei Chong’s secret criticism, it all turned into "trickery and disgrace," from a stunning emergence to a steep fall.

Just more laughter bait.

Li Xian remained calm, mocking words were ignored, curses did not reach the heart, and he asked: "Then I dare inquire, Lei Chong, General Lei, what Martial Arts realm are you in?" His voice was calm, yet contained an imposing aura.

Lei Chong squinted slightly, inwardly laughing angrily, and said: "I am in Martial Arts Second Realm, fifth progress in Bone Shaping and Embryo. What does it mean? You think... your performance is enough to challenge me?"

Li Xian filled with intent, faced boldly, and replied: "Yes. General Lei Chong is also in Martial Arts Second Realm, and has reached the fifth progress. Competing with General Lei should not equate to a petty villain causing mischief, but rather pressing with the Martial Realm!"

The whole scene was in uproar. Li Jian, Shen Langyang, Zhou Zheng, and others were dumbfounded. The noble family disciples, wealthy sons discussed endlessly. This matter was rare throughout history, destined to become a rumor in the future.

That Bai Bolong, Bai Zhenglong, Su Kaitian and others felt curious, eagerly urged: "General Lei, this child is newly arrived, and might not be aware of your divine power. Since he has actively sought guidance, you should show him what it means when there’s always heaven above and men above others."

"Indeed, indeed. We have entered the Gold Appraisal Guard for some time and have not had the fortune to witness General Lei’s remarkable prowess."

"Hehe, let this boy open his eyes, General Lei."

"What is this boy so high and mighty about? To dare challenge you like this, General Lei, if you don’t put him down right then, others might think you’re easy to bully!"

...

Upon hearing this, Lei Chong too felt his blood boiling, raising his hand slightly to quell. All Gold Appraisal Guard immediately quieted. He looked at Li Xian and said: "Fine! You are the second to dare challenge my Chest Drum Thunder Sound!"

Li Xian asked: "Who was the first?" Lei Chong replied casually: "A petty nobody, not worthy to remember." He untied the silver armor on his chest and threw it to the ground, with a "boom," dust rolled up.

All Gold Appraisal Guard were secretly amazed. They knew Lei Chong in the recent past exchanged accumulated military merits for a martial skill called "Triple Body". An extremely profound martial art focused on tempering the body.

All noble family disciples sought such "Triple Body" eagerly, yet lacking sufficient military merits, still needing accumulation. Lei Chong’s slight reveal already displayed impressive momentum.

Lei Chong shouted loudly: "Those newly in the First Realm, retreat ten feet away! The rest retreat five feet away. Circulation of Qi, secretly shock the Chest Drum Thunder Sound to protect ears! If mistakenly injured, don’t blame me for not warning you!"

His voice was like thunder. All Gold Appraisal Guard troopers retreated one after another, standing several feet away to observe. In the field, only Li Xian and Lei Chong remained. Lei Chong stood firm, began Qi Condensation.

An invisible force released, stirred up dust storms, the training ground filled with wind and sand, silently infused with a murderous atmosphere. Lei Chong stood within the sandstorm, his burly figure already tall, his shadow cast within the sand mist seemed even taller, like a giant in the dust veil.

Lei Chong abruptly shook out "Chest Drum Thunder Sound", the dust floating in the air suddenly fell like rain with "swish swish swish", the training ground became clear and bright. This Chest Drum Thunder Sound was extremely loud, its momentum directly pressed towards Li Xian.

As thunder exploded, all Gold Appraisal Guard felt their eardrums shaken, pierced unbearably. Only by secretly shaking the Chest Drum Thunder Sound, countering with Thunder Sound against Thunder Sound, could they barely feel better.

Lei Chong trained the "Chest Drum Thunder Sound" to the extreme, the thunder sound contained inner Qi, martial arts evolution. The frequently heard Thunder Sound already possessed a formidable killing momentum.

Fifteen shocks in an instant, the speed, magnitude, and ferocity of the shock sounds were the most seen. This Lei Chong, though lacking unique traits, surpassed others with his chest cavity. The sound was loud and rugged.

He has served in the Gold Appraisal Guard for several decades, rising through the power of Chest Drum Thunder Sound. Later exchanging military merits for martial arts, he specially trained several skills benefiting the Chest Drum Thunder Sound. His Thunder Sound can be called unparalleled.

Among the dense thunder sounds, everyone struggled to withstand its power, forcing themselves could hurt their lungs, chest cavity, and ears, thus retreated further with discretion. With each step back, they unanimously shouted the number of thunder sounds.

One hundred thirty-nine, one hundred forty-five, one hundred fifty-nine...

The drum sounds grew more terrifying, none without a sense of admiration. Bai Bolong, being one of the best in terms of strength among the troopers, resisted with Chest Drum Thunder Sound, lasting for a moment within five feet, yet could not help but retreat repeatedly, already seven or eight feet away from Lei Chong.
