Chapter 66: The Man at the Top
Hearing Shen Longteng's direct words, Peng Jie and Yu Chunsheng's expressions changed slightly.

In Yunzhao County, the status of the two of them is already at the top. They usually hear nothing but compliments. No one else dares to speak to them like that.

But this person happened to be Shen Longteng, so no matter what he said, the two of them had to accept it.

What's more, they came with bad intentions and were accustomed to causing trouble for the Longteng Escort Agency.

The higher you are on the top of the tower, the more you hope there is no one on the top.

Having enjoyed enough of the worship from below, how can you bear to look up to others?

Peng Jie saw that Shen Longteng finally agreed and smiled:
"Since this is a competition among disciples, there has to be some spur to it. Chief Shen, what do you think?"

"Master Peng is right."

Shen Longteng said calmly.

Peng Jie chuckled and said:
"Then I am willing to reward the disciple who wins this competition with a golden jade pill, no matter which side he comes from."

Shen Longteng glanced sideways when he heard this.

When the disciples outside the hall heard this, they immediately started talking loudly.

In the past, when disciples competed with each other, they would set a prize, which was a proper way to motivate the disciples.

But before, it was usually just ordinary rewards such as silver, sharp weapons, etc., which were mostly meant to encourage and reward, but not to have any actual effect;

However, the Jinyu Pill that Peng Jie took out this time can be said to be the core secret recipe of the Vajra Sect.

This pill is specially designed to assist a martial artist in his training. Taking this pill during physical training will greatly enhance the effect of external training. The Vajra Sect can become the number one sect of Yunzhao hard skills, and this pill recipe has played an indispensable role.

Therefore, although the Golden Jade Pill is not a rare treasure, it is given to disciples who have made meritorious contributions in the Vajra Sect, and Peng Jie has never taken it out before.

It seems like he came prepared this time?

Shen Longteng smiled indifferently:

"In that case, I will give the first place winner a top-grade medicinal bath for the physical training stage of our escort agency."

Upon hearing this, Peng Jie secretly exchanged a glance with Yu Chunsheng, and a flash of joy flashed across his face.

This old man who loves face so much really fell for it once he was provoked. He really doesn't want to be left behind!

He took out the Golden Jade Pill, wanting Shen Longteng to give him this top-grade medicinal bath.

Although Yunzhao is undoubtedly the best in Vajra Sect's hard skills and is even better than Longteng Escort Agency, the escort team of Longteng Escort Agency is always running around and fighting, and is often injured. Long-term illness makes one a good doctor, and the pharmacy in the escort agency has in-depth research on various medicines for injuries and martial arts prescriptions.

Especially for the medicinal baths in the first and second training stages, the recipes from Longteng Escort Agency are much more effective than those from other places.

He took out the Golden Jade Pills, the only comparable product of the same level at Longteng Escort Agency was a top-grade medicinal bath.

Of course, these rewards are given to the champions of the competition and do not fall directly into the hands of his Vajra Sect.

but……

Peng Jie smiled:

"Captain Shen, let the disciples begin."

Xie Yuan had already returned to the escort agency and was now standing outside the courtyard watching the excitement.

"This guy is so tall, I'm afraid he's more than two meters tall."

He was looking at a young man who stood out from the crowd in the Vajra Gate, when suddenly a young man in a blue robe came over. It was Zhao Xingyang.

"Xiao Xie, you should also go to the competition with the King Kong Sect later."

"I?"

Xie Yuan was a little surprised:

"Do new people have to come too?"

"Only newcomers will go. All the newcomers this year will go. You are the newest in the escort agency, so if you don't go, who will go?"

"That's daring."

Xie Yuan grinned.

Zhao Xingyang smiled and patted his shoulder:

"Fight well, I'm sure you'll get the reward."

"Is there any reward?"

Xie Yuan was already eager to fight with the Vajra Sect, and his interest increased even more after hearing this.

"Yes, the Golden Jade Pills from the Vajra Sect and the top-grade medicinal bath from the Escort Agency are just right for you, right?" Zhao Xingyang laughed.

Xie Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to tighten his clothes and shoes and warm up.

The Longteng Escort Agency acted quickly, and within a short while, the compound was cleaned up and divided into several competition venues.

This compound is originally a martial arts training ground, and the area is large enough, so it is no problem to hold several competitions at the same time.

There are not many newcomers in both teams this year, and with the rest time, half a day is enough to decide the final winner.

The disciples who were going to participate in the competition began to draw lots, and were paired up in pairs. Soon they went on stage to compete in order, and Xie Yuan was among the first batch.

Looking at the man in front of him with unusually developed muscles, wearing only a vest and a short coat in the middle of winter, Xie Yuan bowed:
"Longteng Escort Agency, Xie Yuan."

"Vajra Gate, Yang Li."

Yang Li held a whistle stick in one hand, which was a common weapon in the Vajra Sect.

He looked at Xie Yuan's inconspicuous figure, then at his handsome and calm face, like a nobleman, and snorted:
"Longteng Escort Agency also recruits gigolos? Don't cry later."

"it is good."

Xie Yuan nodded.

He certainly won't cry.

As soon as the referee gave the order to start, Xie Yuan stepped forward and drew his sword. The blade flashed like lightning and slashed at Yang Li's throat with an unstoppable force!

The first move of the Wolf Sword Technique is to draw the sword and slash quickly - Wolf Attack!
Yang Li's pupils shrank. He had never expected Xie Yuan's knife to be so fast. He only had time to raise his baton, but it was easily cut into two pieces. The copper-core baton seemed like a dead branch, unable to even block the attack.

His mind went blank, and when he reacted, the long knife had stopped at his throat.

At this time, the referee had just said "start".

Xie Yuan withdrew his hand, made a sword flower, and sheathed the long sword.

This pretty boy... this guy, his swordsmanship is so powerful?
Yang Li swallowed his saliva, dared not say anything, and left immediately.

Xie Yuan looked at the referee and said:

"No need to rest, let's go for the second game."

"Yeah, I can see that."

The referee was a senior escort from Longteng Escort Agency. He praised the performance with admiration.

Soon Xie Yuan's second opponent came on stage, and then the same process followed: Xie Yuan saluted, drew his sword, attacked like a wolf, and then sheathed his sword.

After his opponent left the stage in despair, Xie Yuan shook his head:
"Defeating the King Kong Sect is satisfying, but it's not worth fighting for."

He turned his head to look at the other side of the field, and saw the giant man over two meters tall holding a mace. He swept a slugger out of the field with one sweep, and the slugger spit out blood in the air. His eyes couldn't help but freeze.

"Ah Xing!"

"You barbarian, why are you so heavy-handed in a sparring match?"

The people from the Longteng Escort Agency were shocked and angry. They scolded the giant with fear in their eyes.

The giant had no expression on his face. He turned a deaf ear to the scolding and did not need to rest. He just waited for his next opponent.

"This guy deserves a good beating."

Xie Yuan stroked his chin and thought.

However, while he was staring at others, there were others staring at him closely.

In the hall, County Lieutenant Yu Chunsheng sat behind a table, his eyes roaming around the room.

Zhang Yufeng stood aside, bowing slightly:

"That one over there is Xie Yuan."

Yu Chunsheng looked in the direction of his finger, touched his mustache, and nodded slightly:
"He is indeed a heroic young man with extraordinary bearing. He deserves admiration. He deserves admiration."

He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, and his attitude towards Zhang Yufeng was obviously much better.

The white-faced county lieutenant was sizing up Xie Yuan when he suddenly saw Xie Yuan looking back and making eye contact with him.

Then Xie Yuan's face turned fierce, as if he had seen something disgusting. He swung his sword suddenly like thunder, chopping the Vajra Sect disciple who had exchanged a few moves with him in front of him, causing him to spit blood.

Yu Chunsheng paused, his eyes widened, and he smiled faintly:

“What a wild horse.”
