Ye Fan's words reverberated in the room.
Lei San nodded and never brought up the request of allowing his son to join the Green Dragon Force again.
That was the end of the farce.
In the coming months, Ye Fan divided his time between his own martial arts cultivation and training the Green Dragon Force.
Two months passed in a blink of an eye.
One morning, Lu Tian-He appeared in Yunzhou, outside Ye Fan's mansion in the western suburbs.
That was the moment when Ye Fan knew that it was time for the Green Dragon Force to show the world what it was made of.
That afternoon, he gathered the members of the Green Dragon Force.
"You've worked hard for many months. A single moment is all it takes to show whether your efforts have paid off. All that hard work's going to be put to the test and it's time for you to take that test. You'll follow General Lu to Jiangbei and take part in the National Special Troops Contest. I have only one last instruction for you. You are not to unleash the Five-Point Attack that I've taught you unless you have no other choice. Will you remember what I just told you?"
Ye Fan had his hands folded behind his back.
The members of the Green Dragon Force bowed deeply and replied in unison. "We thank Instructor Chu for his blessings. We will take his words to heart. Unless we have no other choice, we will not unleash the Five-Point Attack."
"Good. You should be on your way. It's time to settle your grudge. I will be here awaiting your triumphant return," said Ye Fan with a faint smile as he nodded and waved at Lu Tian-He and the Green Dragon Force.
The wind rushed past them with a roar. In the distance, one could hear a stream sing.
Beyond the city gates of Yunzhou, the members of the Green Dragon Force fell onto their knees and kowtowed to the man who was sending them off. Their heads thudded on the ground three loud times.
"The Green Dragon Force won't let Instructor Chu down."
"We won't return from Jiangbei unless we win the contest!"
"We will return as champions!”
Their voices rose to the heavens in unison, their loudly proclaimed promise lingering in the air long after they had spoken.
Ye Fan watched as the Green Dragon Force headed off and in the direction of Jiangbei to participate in the National Special Troops Contest.
They weren't fighting for fame or riches. They were fighting to settle a personal grudge.
They were going to let everyone know that the Green Dragon Force whom everyone had trampled upon like losers and good-for-nothings had transformed into a true dragon!
"Mr Chu, are you really going to let them travel to Jiangbei alone? They're just children. They know nothing of the world out there and how to deal with other people. They wouldn't know the consequences of their actions until it's too late. I'm worried...” Li Er stared worriedly down the road as he stood next to Ye Fan.
He was well aware that for a martial artist, danger lurked behind every corner.
In order to earn fame and glory, every martial artist had to risk his life!
In the past, Ye Fan had always been around to watch the backs of the Green Dragon Force and that had allowed Li Er to sleep easy at night.
But this time, the Green Dragon Force was going to journey to Jiangbei on their own. Li Er was naturally worried about their
safety.
Ye Fan simply laughed softly.
"Why are you worried? I created and trained the Green Dragon Force personally. I taught them the Green Dragon Technique so that they may defend themselves and the Five-Point Attack so that they may take their enemies down. I can say with confidence that there are few that can rival the Green Dragon Force. They are safe no matter where they go. All you have to do is to go home and wait patiently for news of their victory," said Ye Fan coolly as his confident laughter rippled across the skies.
