Everyone looked at this picture speechlessly.
A total of 40,000 troops knelt down at the same time, like a frenzy that reached its peak, and fell silent in front of Li Tianlan in an instant.
Forty thousand troops.
Li Tianlan.
Kneel and bow.
The lingering sound of shouting for Your Highness was filled with suffocating power.
No one dares to comment on this seemingly normal scene that is actually extremely abnormal.
Even Gu Xingyun didn't dare.
Even the most elite army of 40,000 now looks more like the private army of the Dongcheng family.
Thinking of the Border Guards Corps, everyone thought of a title that could be regarded as taboo, or at least very taboo.
Dongcheng Legion.
Neither the Dongcheng family nor the authorities deny this title.
But isn’t this scene right now the Dongcheng Legion
It’s not even just the Dongcheng Legion.
The light of the big screen rotates.
The scene in the exercise area disappears.
The image of densely packed troops kneeling in front of Li Tianlan appeared on the big screen.
On the field. Off the field.
Inside and outside Middle-earth.
Countless people have seen this scene.
Compared to the little scar left by Li Tianlan's sword intention on Wang Tianzong's hand.
The scene before him was truly shocking.
Because the meaning of this picture is too rich.
The military super wealthy family where the giants of Central Continent sit, the most elite 40,000 troops among the hundreds of thousands of troops, bear the responsibility of the Li family, the invincible combat power of only twenty-two years old, the City of Sighs, the academy.
Gu Xingyun, who was seriously injured, had left Wang Tianzong, who still had murderous intentions.
Everything is blended together invisibly.
Li Tianlan completely proved his potential today.
The performance of Dongcheng Invincible and the 40,000 troops also completely proves that the Dongcheng family has regarded Li Tianlan as the core of their future.
The academic party expressed a certain degree of support for Li Tianlan.
Wang Tianzong suddenly left despite his murderous intent.
Gu Xingyun did not take action because of his injury, but it was obvious that he would not let Li Tianlan grow up.
All contradictions and conflicts appeared in front of people.
And it is foreseeable that as Li Tianlan and Donghuang Palace become stronger and stronger, such conflicts will continue to escalate.
This is completely a whirlpool that can swallow up Central Continent.
And Li Tianlan was standing in the center of the whirlpool.
There are still not many people who are optimistic about Li Tianlan, but most of the people who really think that Li Tianlan can't succeed have disappeared.
As the young city lord of the City of Sighs, he possesses an invincible combat capability, and he also has the full support of the Dongcheng family and the leaning attitude of the academics.
Now everything about Li Tianlan may still be relatively weak compared to the Wang family in Beihai and Kunlun City.
But there is no shortcoming.
No one dares to say that Li Tianlan has no background.
The Dongcheng Family, Sighing City, and even the Academy will become his powerful force in breaking the Li family's imprisonment in the future.
Li Tianlan slowly stood up straight.
"stand up."
His tone was calm.
The forty thousand troops stood up and saluted him again.
When they knelt down they called Your Highness.
Li Tianlan understood what Dongcheng Wudi meant, so he knew exactly what he should do.
"Evacuate Sky Academy first. The exercise is over."
The exercise is not over yet.
But for Li Tianlan, the next exercise was meaningless.
Donghuang Palace is already number one.
The different exercise subjects that follow are meaningless to many people.
Today is the first day of the exercise.
For too many people, the real exercise has actually ended.
It ended like this.
Forty thousand troops maintained an orderly formation and began to walk out of the Sky Academy.
Fighters and helicopters landed slowly in the sky.
Tanks and armored vehicles returned to the arsenal.
The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated as the army left.
The sun is still shining in the sky.
The clouds are calm and the wind is gentle.
But all this seems to be the calm before the storm.
Li Tianlan, from the Wang family in Beihai, Kunlun City.
They are still there.
The contradiction will not disappear.
Li Tianlan walked towards the high platform in front of the stands.
Applause erupted from the packed stands.
Everyone was applauding, those who saw Li Tianlan, those who were not optimistic about it, people from the Wang family in Beihai, and even Gu Xingyun were applauding.
No matter what is going on inside.
There should be applause here.
Applause is dedicated to the young man who stepped up to the high platform in an unhurried step but down-to-earth.
He is twenty-two years old.
very young.
But he is His Highness.
... ...
Dongcheng Hanguang also applauded.
Naturally, the applause from Luo Jing in the Central Plains could not reach Sky Academy, and it was impossible for Li Tianlan to hear it.
But all Dongcheng Hanguang's applause fell on the ears of the old man opposite him.
The old man was wearing a purple Tang suit, and his white hair had just been dyed black. He had a slim figure, and even his appearance was 45% similar to Dongcheng Hanguang's.
But compared to Dongcheng Hanguang's usual gentleness and leisureliness, the old man was always tense and looked particularly majestic sitting there.
He and Dongcheng Hanguang watched the exercises of the two houses of Zhongzhou together. When he heard the applause, his attitude was a little subtle.
"how?"
Dongcheng Hanguang looked at the other party's delicate face and asked with a slight smile.
"fine."
The old man nodded.
"most."
Dongcheng Hanguang said without hesitation.
The old man shook his head, seeming helpless.
"You don't agree?"
Dongcheng Hanguang asked.
"Does it make sense?"
The old man shook his head, with a complicated expression on his face: "This was your choice back then. I didn't agree with it back then."
"But you didn't object."
Dongcheng Hanguang's expression became serious.
He is the old patriarch of the Dongcheng family, but except for some new families, no one can have absolute dominance in a large family. Even the patriarch is quite restricted in many aspects.
The Dongcheng family is a brave and loyal family. They have gained their current status through several generations of their own lives, and they are still willing to dedicate themselves to Zhongzhou.
There were several brothers and sisters of Dongcheng Hanguang's generation, but most of them died on the battlefield. The only ones who survived until now were Dongcheng Hanguang himself and the old man in purple in front of him.
Dongcheng Hanjian.
Dongcheng Hanguang's biological eldest brother.
Li Tianlan has told everyone with his performance how terrifying his future will be.
As the ideal next-generation core figure in Dongcheng Hanguang's heart, with the help of his great power after this exercise, he definitely wants to use all his power and resources on Li Tianlan, and this requires Dongcheng Hanjian's approval.
This attitude is extremely important.
"He's doing well."
Dongcheng Hanjian was silent for a while and nodded slightly.
This is recognition.
But it was only his performance that was recognized.
Dongcheng Hanguang seemed to know what his elder brother was thinking.
He smiled: "Don't worry, there is still a lot of time."
Dongcheng Hanjian pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Let's see again."
He stood up and slowly left the hall.
... ...
President Li Huacheng also applauded.
Hua Qingfeng, the master of the Zhongzhou Shadow Sect who is closely protecting his visit, has already arranged his itinerary.
He, like Li Huacheng, witnessed this exercise.
Watching the president applaud, Hua Qingfeng also had a smile on his face.
"president."
Hua Qingfeng said softly: "I helped you turn down the dinner for the President of Star Kingdom. Our special plane will take off at eight o'clock."
"okay, I get it."
Li Huacheng turned around.
There was a smile on his face, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be still immersed in the drill just now.
The president doesn't understand martial arts.
But he could see the results.
He was very satisfied with Li Tianlan.
Very satisfied.
"good."
Li Huacheng burst out laughing without hiding his feelings at all.
This is already his seventh year as President of Central Continent.
In three years' time, Central Continent will usher in a turbulent big change, and some undercurrents began to surge as early as last year and intensified.
Li Huacheng is worthy of Zhongzhou.
In recent decades, Li Huacheng has been regarded as a very accomplished president among all previous presidents.
But he still has not completed the layout of the academic school, which is undoubtedly a worry for him.
The appearance of Li Tianlan seems to be a good medicine.
Especially after today, his influence will not be limited to the special operations system.
This is what Li Huacheng wants to see most.
"Thank you for your hard work, Qingfeng."
Li Huacheng glanced at Hua Qingfeng and smiled.
Hua Qingfeng smiled and shook his head, turned around and walked out of the room.
Walking in the corridor of the White House, he thought for a while and took out the phone again.
The call went directly back to Zhongzhou, to a powerful senior executive at the Shadow Gate headquarters.
"Have you seen the final exercise?"
Hua Qingfeng asked in a straightforward tone.
"Looked at it."
A somewhat emotional voice sounded on the phone: "His Royal Highness, who is twenty-two years old... tsk tsk, among the younger generation, that person is probably truly invincible."
"Let's find a chance to get in touch."
Hua Qingfeng said.
"cooperate?"
The person on the other end of the phone was a little surprised.
"if not?"
Hua Qingfeng laughed: "Is it possible that if we see that he is too powerful, we will become his enemy? There is no conflict of interest."
"Over there with the Sword Emperor..."
On the phone, the man hesitated.
He actually wanted to cooperate with Li Tianlan.
But Wang Tianzong's murderous intention towards Li Tianlan was obvious.
No one thought that he would give up his murderous intention after answering the phone.
This time Li Tianlan was able to end up with a minor injury, it was just because some things were delayed. Now that he is working with Li Tianlan, it is difficult to have a clear future, and instead he offended Wang Tianzong.
The Sword King of Central Continent.
In the hearts of all the masters in Central Continent, this is a mountain, an insurmountable peak.
Those who dare to cooperate with Li Tianlan before a clear situation emerges. In Central Continent, there are basically behemoths who are not afraid of the revenge of Kunlun City and Beihai Wang Family. The Shadow Sect, which has almost no background, obviously does not have the confidence at present.
"fine."
Hua Qingfeng's face looked gloomy for a moment, but he still insisted on his opinion.
He knew very well that those who dared to cooperate with Li Tianlan at this time were behemoths who were not afraid of revenge, but similarly, such behemoths, except for the Dongcheng family, would not fully support Li Tianlan.
Most of what they do is just to invest for predictable profits.
Today, Li Tianlan already has an absolutely strong background and strength.
There was a whirlpool around him.
But in Hua Qingfeng's view, it is also an opportunity for blockbusters.
... ...
Following the most basic exercise procedures, the principal of Sky Academy, Zhuang Huayang, accompanied Li Tianlan on the high platform in front of the stands. After giving a very routine speech and praise, he announced that the Donghuang Hall was the venue for the team exercise in the final exercise of the two academies. First place.
This is actually equivalent to announcing that Donghuang Palace has become the first in the total credits of the two houses this year, and there is no suspense.
But the exercise isn't over yet.
Next, there will be different exercises such as electronic intrusion, mechanical control, and one-on-one actual combat.
If this year's team exercise is a competition between the top young talents, then the content of the next exercise is a time for ordinary students to compete for credits and calculate against each other.
The two colleges combined have nearly 4,000 students.
The exercise officially ends on August 10th.
There are still ten days left.
Ten days later, the two colleges will announce the first place in total credits and the first place in various exercises. At the same time, the credits will be calculated, a graduation ceremony, a commendation meeting will be held, and graduation medals and various awards will be awarded in different grades.
The two houses of Congress will also hold something similar to a press conference.
But there will be no reporters on site.
In addition to the heavyweights from Kunlun City, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Security and the General Staff, various departments of the military and special operations systems will probably attend to select the students they need.
So even though everyone knows that this session of the exercise between the two houses is actually over.
But according to the process, today is actually just the beginning.
But all this has nothing to do with Donghuang Palace.
On the last day of the exercise, Li Tianlan only needed to send a representative to determine with the Ministry of National Defense and Security the future development direction of Donghuang Palace and what kind of support Zhongzhou would give Donghuang Palace.
His mind had already flown to the battlefield in Snow Country that was doomed to be chaotic, and to the collapsed Palace of Reincarnation.
"Tianlan, do you have anything to say?"
Zhuang Huayang finally finished speaking what he himself thought was nonsense, and handed the microphone to Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan took the phone and looked at the packed stands in front of him with a dazed look in his eyes.
He saw many familiar people.
Gu Xingyun looked gloomy but forced a smile.
Ye Fengcheng had a complicated expression.
Li Baitian, who was laughing loudly and beaming with joy, sat in his wheelchair and spoke eloquently as if there was no one around.
Members of the Donghuang Palace gathered around him.
Han Donglou, the founder of Shengshi Fund, smiled and waved.
Han Xinyan looked a little surprised.
The same is true for Dongcheng, whose face is bright and clear and proud.
Different people, different moods.
But compared to the whole audience, there were only a few people he was familiar with.
More people are destined to have more moods.
Li Tianlan watched silently.
The applause in the stands once again became more and more enthusiastic.
Everyone was clapping.
Li Tianlan was stunned for a while, and then finally understood.
Finally, this day came, and Li and himself gradually no longer had to worry about what other people thought.
Here he stands.
There will definitely be flowers and applause ahead.
Li Tianlan laughed.
"The Li family is worthy of Zhongzhou. I am also worthy of the Li family."
His voice was clear and indifferent, and some of the content he said was still very reserved.
But everyone understood what he meant.
The Li family is worthy of Zhongzhou.
This is naturally talking about the treason case many years ago.
Li Tianlan paused and continued: "In the dark world of the next hundred years, there are three words that are destined to be called great names. Zhongzhou. Donghuang Palace. Li Tianlan."
He looked around the room: "The greatest word."
At this moment, Li Tianlan felt extremely calm.
But with unparalleled arrogance.
Under the sun, his whole body was covered with light, and he looked a little bit arrogant.
This is Li's first external declaration after years of silence.
It was also Li Tianlan’s first declaration to Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou, Donghuang Palace, Li Tianlan.
All will be great.
Applause broke out again.
Regardless of whether they feel like it or not, everyone is applauding vigorously.
At this moment, Li Tianlan may not know that because of this exercise, he has set countless records in the Li family of both houses.
For the first time in previous final exercises, the game was killed early, ending all suspense.
In all previous final exercises, he was the youngest and most powerful person in first place.
In all previous final exercises, the most people were killed and the most injured.
The total number of credits is the highest among all previous final exercises.
There are many firsts.
On this day, Li Tianlan, who was only twenty-two years old, stood here, sweeping away the joint efforts of several young talents in Central Continent with an absolutely invincible attitude, and single-handedly destroying the cooperation of the six major teams.
to be exact.
He is alone.
Shattered the entire era!
That was the time to come.
The genius rises.
Is it the luck of Zhongzhou
Or is it a disaster in Zhongzhou
