Chapter 161: Selection Begins! (1/2)

The next day was a very important day for the Cheng Family. If Cheng Yu was able to become the military instructor of the new mysterious unit in Huaxia, then this would mark the start of the Cheng Family entering the military world. However, not many people knew of this. Today, only Cheng Ruilong and Cheng Yu went for the selection.

“Old Cheng, you are very punctual, huh? Just on time,” Cheng Yu and his grandfather arrived at the Capital’s military headquarters and saw Xu Zhongze and Xu Zhongfu walking over.

“Haha! Old Ze and Old Fu, this time, you must take care of my Xiao Yu,” Cheng Ruilong laughed. Even though Cheng Ruilong had been here before, he was not someone from the military world. Therefore, he was not able to enter the competition grounds. However, Xu Zhongze was also not able to enter as he had already retired.

“Naturally. However, I believe that Xiao Yu will be able to accomplish his goals easily,” Xu Zhongfu looked at Cheng Yu and smiled. Seeing how calm and composed Cheng Yu was, Xu Zhongfu was very appreciative of him.

“Big grandpa Xu and Second grandpa Xu,” Cheng Yu greeted the two old men.

“Good. Xiao Yu, it’s been two years since we last met and you have changed a lot. Not bad, you finally look like someone from the old Cheng Family now. Here. Let me introduce someone to you. This is my son, you can call him Uncle Xu and this is my grandson, Xu Ruosong,” Xu Zhongze introduced those around him to Cheng Yu and Cheng Yu greeted them as well.

“Xiao Yu, I heard that you are here this time to participate in the selection competition. I was really astonished. I truly do not believe that you are stronger than me. If you really are able to become my military instructor, I will definitely compare notes with you,” Xu Ruosong smiled and said to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Ruosong had been acquainted with Cheng Yu since young, but Xu Ruosong had entered the military since he was young. Therefore, the relationship between them also grew more distant since then. He also knew about Cheng Yu’s past deeds. It had only been two years, so he really did not believe Cheng Yu would change so much. Let alone his fighting power.

“Haha! There will be a chance,” Cheng Yu did not bother to elaborate.

“Alright, it’s about time. Let’s head in,” Xu Zhongfu looked at his watch and said. Among all of them here, only Xu Zhongfu and Cheng Yu were able to enter the competition grounds. The others would have to wait for them at the testing lounge.

Cheng Yu followed Xu Zhongfu and entered the competition grounds. There were very few inside because only the chairman of the Central Military Committee and the high ranking committee members would be able to enter. The remaining ones would be the contestants.

“Xiao Yu, the competition this time is to select the strongest military instructor among all of you. There are also some of them who are like you, experts, who were recruited by others. Therefore, you must definitely be extra careful,” Xu Zhongfu warned Cheng Yu.

“Ok. You can be at ease. It’s just a competition. I have never viewed those contestants as my equals,” Cheng Yu said nonchalantly. However, the tone he used was extremely domineering and not something everyone would be able to use.

“Ok. I believe in you,” Seeing how confident Cheng Yu was, Xu Zhongfu was also very happy. The Xu Family and the Cheng Family had always been on friendly terms. If Cheng Yu was able to seize the position, it was definitely beneficial for them as well.

“Old Xu, this is the little boy from Old Cheng’s house?” At this moment, an old man and a middle-aged man walked over as they smiled at Cheng Yu.

“That’s right. Cheng Yu, this is the chairman of the Central Military Committee. You can just call him Grandpa Song,” Xu Zhongfu introduced them to Cheng Yu.

“Grandpa Song,” Cheng Yu greeted indifferently because Cheng Yu was able to feel that this surnamed Song was not as amiable as he seemed to be. As a cultivator, Cheng Yu’s six senses were very sensitive. He could easily feel the unfavourable vibe emitting from Song towards him.

“Good. I once expected the Cheng Family to have someone choosing to enter the military since they have always been pursuing the political side for generations,” These words may seem to be complimenting Cheng Yu, but it was actually showing his displeasure towards Cheng Ruilong for wanting to get a share of power in the military.

“As long as its for the country, it does not matter whether its the political side or the military side. It’s all the same,” Cheng Yu said calmly.

“Haha! Good! Well said! Young men are always filled with ambition. I wish you luck in being able to obtain a good result then,” Song Tianlin narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Yu as he smiled. After that, he brought the man beside him and left. That man turned around and looked at Cheng Yu. He smirked. It was quite obvious that he was trying to provoke Cheng Yu.

“The Song Family has always been on bad terms with both of our families. You must be careful of the man beside him. If I have not guessed wrongly, that man should be an expert he recruited. He must have definitely watched your video before. Probably, the person he found would not be any worse than you. Be extra cautious,” Xu Zhongfu said somewhat worriedly.

“Grandpa Xu, be at ease. That man is an expert, but not someone I would see as my equal. The military instructor selection this time, I will definitely win!” Cheng Yu looked at that man’s back curiously. Because Cheng Yu was able to tell that the man actually possessed a cultivation of Qi Training Realm late stage! He couldn’t help paying more attention to him.

Cheng Yu heard from the senior monk that there were a few sects that would move around in the Secular World. Could it be that man was from one of those sects?
