However, he possessed a heart that pushed forward relentlessly and a steadfast pursuit of the Way. He clearly remembered what his master had once told him: the path of cultivation was fraught with thorns and obstacles, but as long as one held firm beliefs and made unremitting efforts, success would eventually come.
Unfortunately, he found himself unable to cultivate at all!
With this thought in mind, Chen Moxuan took out more than a dozen bottles of medicine from his Na Ring and handed them to Chen Feng. As soon as they were revealed, the fragrant aroma wafted through the air, instantly reminding all the Yin Yang Guard soldiers of divine beings from the past.
This body refining potion was specially prepared for Chen Feng. Although it was not as potent as the Breakthrough Pill, it was sufficient for his needs. This medicine was primarily designed for body refinement, serving as a foundation for physical cultivators.
However, when Chen Feng saw so many bottles of medicine, he hesitated, unsure whether to accept them. Ancestor, this is far too much! The Ancestor has already sacrificed enough to help me win people's hearts. He politely declined Chen Moxuan's goodwill.
Hearing this, a playful smile crept onto Chen Moxuan's lips. He then pulled out another one or two hundred bottles of Breakthrough Pills from his Na Ring and gently placed them in front of Chen Feng.
Did you think I only had a few Breakthrough Pills? Look at these; they are all spoils from my years of battles across the land. While this medicine is crucial in the Mortal Empire, to me, it is merely trivial trinkets, he said casually.
Chen Feng's eyes widened in shock. A wave of astonishment and reverence surged within him. He realized that Chen Moxuan's strength and background far exceeded his imagination. He never expected to be so astounded; just how many Chen Families could these pills buy?
Ten? Twenty? No! Even thirty or forty would be enough!
Chen Moxuan directly tossed the medicines into his arms: You too! If you can't advance two levels in a month, just wait and see how I deal with you!
On the other side, most people did not take this month-long deadline seriously; they merely regarded it as a joke to share over tea and meals.
Chen Moxuan had been closely observing Zuo Qiu Tian Yong and the three Thousand-Man Teams for an entire month. He paid attention to Chen Feng and the changes within the teams, finding joy in every slight improvement.
Chen Feng's transformation was particularly remarkable. In just this short month, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, solidifying his already strong foundation. Chen Moxuan understood that this was not merely a rise in cultivation but also a profound change in character. It was as if he were watching an eaglet gradually spreading its wings, preparing to soar into the sky.
Under Chen Feng's leadership, the three Thousand-Man Teams underwent a tremendous transformation. They had once been ordinary soldiers, but now each of them seemed infused with a new spirit. Their formations were more organized, their cooperation more seamless, and each drill was filled with an air of menace and power.
Chen Moxuan recognized that with the integration of seasoned veterans and new recruits, this was no longer just an ordinary Eagle Wing Guard; it had become a truly elite force.
However, as the month drew to a close, a sudden change swept through the front lines. With only three days left, the Azure Wolf Kingdom's Qita Legion—an ever-ominous presence—finally made a significant move. News spread like wildfire throughout Anque City and reached Chen Moxuan's ears.
He immediately summoned the five Captains of Di Sha Camp, Longxiang Riders, Tiger Wing Guard, Xiong Bi Wei, and Eagle Wing Guard to discuss countermeasures.
Di Sha Jiang Jun spoke gravely: "According to the latest intelligence, the Qita Legion has begun mobilizing their army, targeting Anque City. Their movements are swift and stealthy; they clearly come prepared. We must respond immediately; otherwise, the consequences will be dire."
The other four Captains' expressions turned serious upon hearing this. They understood that the Qita Legion was formidable; if they managed to breach the city walls, the aftermath would be catastrophic.
At that moment, however, the Captain of Di Sha Camp suddenly spoke up. "I propose we send the Eagle Wing Guard ahead to scout enemy movements and disrupt their army's advance toward Anque City. The soldiers of Eagle Wing Guard are well-trained, and Captain Chen Feng possesses exceptional talent and potential. I believe they can accomplish this mission."
He added with a hint of mockery, "I've heard they've been training diligently lately; let’s see if they can deliver."
The other four Captains couldn't help but smile knowingly at his words. They realized that the Captain of Di Sha Camp intended to humiliate Chen Feng while possibly echoing Di Sha Jiang Jun's sentiments, given their close ties.
One of the Captains, a man with a sinister face and flickering eyes, spoke up.
"Hehe, Captain Chen Feng, this is quite an opportunity! If you can complete the mission, don't forget to tell us about your heroic deeds when you return."
Another Captain, a slender man with a stern expression, chimed in.
"Yes, Captain Chen Feng, we are all looking forward to your performance. However, you must be careful; the Qita Legion is not easy to deal with."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's expression remained calm; he had confidence in himself and his subordinates. He raised his head and looked firmly at General Di Sha Jiang Jun.
"General, I accept this mission. I will lead the Eagle Wing Guard to investigate the enemy situation thoroughly and disrupt the enemy Army's movements."
General Di Sha Jiang Jun appeared quite satisfied.
"Good, Captain Chen Feng. I trust you. You should set off immediately with the Eagle Wing Guard and be sure to exercise caution. We will be waiting for your good news here."
With that, Chen Feng turned and left, quickly summoning the soldiers of the Eagle Wing Guard to prepare for departure. The other four Captains remained in place, watching Chen Feng's departing figure, each with their own thoughts.
They knew that this battle would be a test for Chen Feng.
After Chen Feng left, General Di Sha Jiang Jun and the other Captains began to get busy as well. They organized troops and strengthened city defenses in preparation for the potential large-scale battle ahead.
The entire Anque City was engulfed in tension and busyness as everyone prepared for the impending fight.
Returning to the camp, Chen Feng felt a weight on his mind. He understood that the current calm was only temporary; a greater storm was brewing, but he hadn't expected it to arrive so quickly.
He swiftly summoned the entire battalion to inform them of General Di Sha Jiang Jun's orders and announced that they would be setting out.
After waiting for a while, when Chen Feng stood on the command platform and scanned the ranks of soldiers below, he noticed that Ma Xingyu and Wei Yuanjing had not arrived as expected.
His brow furrowed slightly as an ominous premonition surged within him.
Could these two be so reckless as to abandon their posts at such a critical time? Were they really willing to risk their lives? Chen Feng was taken aback.
