Chapter 6: Victory Through 100 Battles

Yuan Lang, not far from the military tent, suddenly shook and a fiery light began to shine in his eyes.

"Set up the General Selecting Platform? Who is trying to take command?"

"It’s Young General. Could he be trying to take command?"

"Is that even possible? Although Young General is a descendant of the Yun family and has the best qualifications to take the command flag, what about his cultivation?"

…

Qian Luoyun’s voice was filled with innate Spirit Qi, and every soldier in the square could hear him clearly.

The standard of the Yun Family Army has always existed, but even Qian Luoyun dared not truly raise it, merely holding it temporarily. Now that Yun Yi has arrived, Qian Luoyun must prepare the General Selecting Platform. It is clear that Yun Yi has come to seize command and raise the standard.

However, raising the standard is not so easy, even though Yun Yi is a descendant of the Yun family and carries the bloodline of Cloud General Feilong.

The army’s standard represents too much and carries too heavy a burden.

To raise the standard, one must win the support of others.

But how can a loser who cannot even Open Spirit achieve that? What can they use to gain support?

Is it just because he is Yun Feilong’s son?

The title of Young General reflects the feelings of the Yun Family Army towards Yun Yi, or their feelings towards the Yun family. As long as the Yun family exists, the Yun Family Army will not disperse.

But this feeling cannot be the reason for Yun Yi to raise the banner of leadership.

The General Selecting Platform is solemn and grand; it cannot be reached merely by emotions.

"Everyone listen, immediately build the General Selecting Platform."

Yuan Lang strode into the square and shouted loudly.

"Yes."

The soldiers of the Yun Family responded in unison, with strict discipline.

For the two thousand well-trained soldiers, building any Battle Platform is an easy task.

And during the process of building the General Selecting Platform, news began to spread that Yun Yi had Open Spirit and defeated more than a dozen men in black. This news was like a thunderbolt for the Yun Family Army, but it thrilled them to the highest degree.

"The Young General has opened Spirit; heaven has taken notice."

"I said, how could the descendants of the Yun family be useless? They are truly worthy of being General Yun’s son."

"The Yun family has gone through such a change, and the psychological impact on the Young General must be great. However, it is in this situation that the Young General can grow quickly. I wonder how the standard for the Bloodcoat General is set this time; I am very excited to see."

"The standards for the Bloodcoat General have always been strict. If the Young General can pass the test on the General Selecting Platform and successfully capture the Standard, from then on, I would willingly follow the Young General."

…

The soldiers of the Yun Family Army changed their mood, each one filled with energy. Yun Yi Open Spirit was not just a thrill for the soldiers shrouded in gloom; it was also a hope.

The spirit of the Yun Family Army can only truly move forward when it rests on the Yun family people.

Under Yuan Lang’s leadership, it didn’t take long for the Yun Family Army to build two high platforms.

One of them is completely made of hard rock, standing ten feet high and measuring thirty feet around. Although it has just been built, its hardness is not inferior to that of the Battle Platform in the army’s training grounds.

The other platform is entirely made of black hardwood, known as Black Spirit Wood. This wood is three times harder than cast iron, and many weapons crafted in the army include Black Spirit Wood to enhance the weapons’ own hardness.

This high platform was built according to Qian Luoyun’s standards, with nine steps from top to bottom. The top step has a wide surface with a golden flag flying on it.

The flag flutters, and the word "Cloud" dances beautifully, shining brightly.

At that moment, Qian Luoyun and Yun Yi walked out of the tent and came to the square.

More than two thousand soldiers stood solemnly, their fiery gazes all focused on Yun Yi, making him the center of attention.

Yuan Lang strode up to Qian Luoyun and Yun Yi and said, "General, Young General, the General Selecting Platform is ready."

Qian Luoyun nodded, his eyes scanning the two high platforms, clearly quite satisfied with the efficiency of the Yun Family Army.

"Yi’er, have you thought about it? Are you sure you want to go up to the General Selecting Platform?"

Qian Luoyun looked at Yun Yi beside him.

"If I say no, won’t that chill the hearts of the Yun Family Army’s soldiers? If I say no, how can more than twenty thousand heroes of the Yun Family Army find peace?"

Yun Yi’s eyes sparkled as he spoke, taking confident strides towards the Battle Platform. By the time he finished speaking, he had already reached the base of the Battle Platform.

He did not know what challenges lay ahead, but the fluttering General Yun flag gave him the determination to move forward.

With Yun Yi’s wisdom, it was clear that to claim the title today, he would have to face two tests. The first test was to ascend the Battle Platform, and only by passing this test could he step onto the Black Spirit Wood steps.

Yun Yi leaped effortlessly onto the one-meter-high Battle Platform, like a clever rabbit.

"Bloodcoat General, what is the test? Bring it on."

Yun Yi stood tall on the Battle Platform, one hand behind his back, his black hair flowing in the wind, and a resolute look on his handsome face.

Just this demeanor made people nod in approval.

The soldiers of the Yun Family Army seemed to see the shadow of Cloud General Feilong in Yun Yi, filled with great ambition and unmatched charisma.

In the eyes of the people, that once-privileged young master was gone; the youth standing before them had completely transformed.

He must carry the flag, carry the heart and spirit of the Yun Family Army, and carry the hope of the Yun family.

"Okay."

Qian Luoyun praised him, saying that today’s Yun Yi truly made him see him in a new light. He understood that these ten days had been very cruel for this young man, but such growth in adversity is something most people cannot imagine.

"General, how can we capture the flag?"

Yuan Lang asked.

Qian Luoyun’s gaze was deep as he looked at the determined Yun Yi on the Battle Platform, then he said four words: Victory Through 100 Battles.

The words "Victory Through 100 Battles" coming from Qian Luoyun’s mouth made everyone present, including Yuan Lang, gasp in shock.

This is too cruel!

The so-called Victory Through 100 Battles means to fight one hundred opponents continuously on this Battle Platform without stopping.

This is undoubtedly cruel for Yun Yi, who has just opened Spirit. Even though Yun Yi has the record of defeating a master of the seventh grade of the Open Spirit Realm, fighting a hundred battles is still not a game.

Fighting a hundred battles in a row is a huge drain for anyone. A master of the fifth grade of the Open Spirit Realm probably does not have enough spiritual power to last through a hundred battles.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Yun Family Army are well-trained and cannot be compared to those from Marquis Yang Mansion.

"General, this is too cruel, isn’t it?"

Yuan Lang frowned and said.

"Cruel? Isn’t what the Yun family is facing already cruel enough? Isn’t his current situation cruel enough? Isn’t the Yun Family Army facing enough cruelty?"

Qian Luofeng said with righteous words.

Yuan Lang fell silent and stopped speaking.

"Come on, what’s a thousand battles? Yun Yi is not afraid."

Yun Yi felt a surge of power as dark energy surrounded him. The might of the Innate Dao Body spread out, and he knew this was Qian Luofeng’s true test of him. He understood how heavy the burden he carried was.

Ten days of life-and-death escape had completely forged Yun Yi’s spirit of resilience.
