1261 Single Handedly Suppressing a Team!
All the martial warriors in the field looked at the approaching figure.
They were curious about what their new regiment commander looked like.
Many rumors had been passed around over the past few days, most of them regarding Wang Teng and Huo Qiyas battle.
Huo Qiya was defeated by a landslide!
They heard that their new regiment commander was ruthless, so they were all extremely careful. No one wanted to offend him on the first day.
They finally saw the person in the flesh!
Young!
Insanely young!
He looked like a freshly enrolled newbie in the military, not the famous regiment commander of the Tiger Strike Force.
They couldnt link Wang Tengs image and the commander role.
The latter walked in and glanced around.
Sun Junda quickly ran forward and said to Wei Tong and the others, Deputy Regimental Commanders, this is our new commander.
Wang Teng and the others had already noticed the official attire, so they stepped forward and saluted.
Commander!
Only Marly seemed a little unwilling. There was doubt in his gaze, but he still went through the motions.
Youre too polite. Im new here and will need a lot of guidance from you in the future. Wang Teng saluted back and smiled.
They heaved relieved sighs when realizing that their leader was easy going.
Youre too kind, said the only female martial warrior among the deputy regimental commanders with a smile.
You must be Commander Jira. Wang Teng looked at her and smiled back.
You recognize me? Jira exclaimed with delight.
Ive read through your information, Wang Teng explained.
That means we dont have to introduce ourselves, a middle-aged man chimed in.
Deputy Feng Gang. Wang Teng recognized him immediately.
He looked at the others and called their respective names.
Once he reached the last person, he paused for a second and said, Deputy Huo Qiya, hows your injury?
The other deputy regimental commanders gloated as they looked at the fellow.
Thank you for your concern. Im fine, Huo Qiya said sternly.
Wang Teng smiled and said, Youre very powerful. I went a little hard on you that day because I forgot to hold back. I hope you dont mind.
The corners of Huo Qiyas mouth twitched.
A little hard?
Arent you aware of how heavy handed you were that day?
He didnt seem to be complimenting Huo Qiya; it was more like self praise.
The other deputy regimental commanders chuckled silently in their hearts when they noticed Huo Qiyas frustration.
Huo Qiya took a deep breath and replied, I admit my defeat. I wont take it to heart.
Thats good. Were comrades from now on, so I hope no grudges come between us. Wang Teng gave him a meaningful look before turning to the others. His gaze paused on Marly.
There were no expressions on the latters face, as he merely stared at the ground.
Commander, do you want to say a few words since the entire force is here? Wei Tong asked.
All right, let me say a few simple words. Wang Teng nodded. He walked onto the platform with Wei Tong and the others in tow.
He looked down and saw the five thousand celestial-stage martial warriors properly lined up at ground level. They gave off a thick and ferocious aura, just like a prone wild tiger. Their presence was oppressive.
As Wang Teng sized them upthe martial warriors suddenly tapped their feet in unison and greeted him loudly. The ground shook and their voices resounded in the sky.
Commander!
Their aura exploded in full, mixing to blast toward their new leader.
The combined aura of five thousand martial warriors was terrifying.
A normal martial warrior could pale in front of such pressure, not even daring to speak.
Wei Tong and the others stared at Wang Teng. They werent waiting for him to flounder, but they wanted to see how strong their new commander was.
All of them would stay unconvinced if he couldnt resist their collective aura.
An opening gambit!
That was the welcoming gift the Tiger Strike Force had prepared.
It was a common act in any powerful troop.
This was a means to display their strength to their superiors, as well as to test the new commanders ability and courage.
Peggy and the others were appalled, their faces turning slightly pale as they were shocked by the aura.
They looked at Wang Teng in worry.
Should the fellow make a fool of himself, he would have a difficult time managing those fierce tigers in the future. He would probably be forced to leave a couple of days later.
Such a thing had occurred before.
Renowned, powerful troops werent easy to handle.
Wang Teng remained calm under everyones gazes. Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from his body.
Boom!
There was an intense killing intent hidden within the aura, gushing out of his body and charging at the martial warriors below.
The five thousand martial warriors turned pale and their auras collapsed. They were flabbergasted, words getting stuck in their mouths.
What a strong aura!
Even the deputy regimental commanders couldnt help but take an involuntary step back. They stared at Wang Tengs back in bewilderment.
They stood extremely close to their new leader, so they had to withstand a much greater pressure than the martial warriors below.
Marly squinted, all his confidence shattering at that moment. He clenched his fists for a long time, but then released them dejectedly.
Peggy and the others stared at Wang Teng in disbelief. Although they werent experiencing the aura blast, they noticed the change in expressions on everyones faces.
He managed to suppress five thousand celestial-stage martial warriors on his own!
What kind of concept was that!
They felt that what they knew of Wang Teng wasnt deep enough; it barely scratched the surface.
That wasnt an aura that a normal martial warrior could have. It was likely that not even a cosmos-stage martial warrior would have that capability.
What did he go through?
Wang Teng would be rendered speechless if he knew what was going through their minds.
They were thinking too much.
He didnt go through any special experiences. He had just collected more bubbles.
The new leader kept on releasing his aura for some time. There was no sign of it dispersing any time soon.
Everyone realized that the tides had turned.
At first, they were the ones testing Wang Teng, but now, he was the one testing them.
Wei Tong and the others looked at one another with forced smiles.
Wang Teng then gave the group a smile of approval and said, Not bad.
Once he said that, the pressure above everyones heads disappeared as if it never existed.
Everyone heaved sighs of relief. Then, they felt a little helpless.
They were only not bad in the eyes of their new commander?
Wei Tong and the others felt troubled as well. Their new commander was too powerful, so much so that they couldnt raise their heads.
Huo Qiya was entirely convinced, finally understanding the power gap between them. It wasnt just his ability; he would never be able to create such pressure.
Everyone looked at Wang Teng with admiration and respect.
