Chapter 925: Chapter 935 I Am Ultimately the Divine Dragon General! (One more)

"Fine, I accept the conferment!" Tang Zhong said as he walked up with measured steps under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Behind him followed General Peng Yuan, silent, for this was Tang Zhong’s ceremony, and it was time to trust Tang Zhong to handle things.

A large group of generals simply watched Tang Zhong enter.

Soon, he was seated on the dais, next to Yan Long and his group.

The scene quickly quieted down. A ceremony to confer the title of General was a rare occurrence, and it was obvious that this time, the General-to-be was being targeted.

And the leader of this hostility was none other than Yan Long and the Yan Family. So now, everyone was focused on the front, wondering how things would unfold.

Some older generals in attendance, who had witnessed a similar ceremony twenty years ago for the appointment of the Cavalry General, felt an eerie familiarity. Back then, it was also the Yan Family leading the way, though the person being appointed was different.

And now, the protagonist from two decades ago was also present.

"Ah, it seems today’s conferment ceremony will play out just like it did twenty years ago. The one being appointed will have to swallow their pride!"

"Oh well, nothing exciting to see again this time!"

Bai Ruoxing and Bai Xiaochun were together, unable to believe that the person on stage was Tang Zhong. Of course, they had heard that Tang Zhong had returned to Xuanjing City and had revitalized the Crown Prince’s Club, but they never imagined he would now be conferred the title of General Divine Dragon.

"Dad, do you know what merit Tang Zhong achieved?"

"No... I’ve never heard of anything. Otherwise, I would have known long ago. But Tang Zhong must have accomplished something significant. This time, it was General Peng Yuan who secured this for Tang Zhong, with approval from the top leader no less!"

"Oh!" Bai Xiaochun nodded.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

She only knew that things didn’t look good for Tang Zhong this time.

Yan Long smirked sinisterly as he watched Tang Zhong settle in his seat. "Kid, I’ll make you regret this!"

He immediately produced a document in his hand.

Normally, a ceremony for conferring the title of General would be held with great formality. Yet, the major family clans had sent their younger generations here, a clear statement of their stance. In essence, even if Tang Zhong became General Divine Dragon today, it wouldn’t hold as much esteem as even a regular General from one of their families.

Yan Long glanced at the document briefly before tossing it onto the table.

"Too many words; I won’t bother reading it!" Yan Long said.

All eyes were on the stage.

It became clear that the Yan Family was out to target Tang Zhong.

And it wasn’t surprising. A title of General should never fall into the hands of someone without a proper background. It should clearly belong to members of the Four Great Families.

In Xuan Country, the military talents always emerged from the fresh blood of these prominent families!

Soon, the intentions of the major families were understood by everyone. People could only sigh deeply—this world catered only to those with connections and backing. Those without it, or with weak connections, were fated to be trampled upon!

It seemed the conferment of General Divine Dragon was bound to become an enormous scandal today.

At this moment, General Peng Yuan, standing to the side, clenched his fists in anger at Yan Long’s words. The younger generations of these families were utterly shameless. Twenty years ago, it was Yan Long’s father presiding over his conferment ceremony, and it had played out exactly the same way. Today was essentially a repeat of history!

Suppressing his rage, Peng Yuan decided to wait and see what Tang Zhong would do!

Tang Zhong, having heard Yan Long’s comment, understood that the real game had begun. He sat motionless.

In this kind of setting, Yan Long’s intent to suppress Tang Zhong was merely a test. When he realized Tang Zhong wasn’t reacting, he chuckled to himself.

Then, ramping things up, he started making a greater show of superiority. "So, you’re Tang Zhong?" Yan Long said.

"That’s me!" Tang Zhong replied serenely.

"The conferment of the title General is no trivial matter. I think this requires careful deliberation!" Yan Long said.

Careful deliberation!

Everyone in attendance immediately understood—the heirs of the major families were gearing up to make things difficult for the new General Divine Dragon.

"I’d like to hear exactly where this ’careful deliberation’ is coming from," Tang Zhong said, smiling.

"Oh, it’s simple. You have no noteworthy achievements. What qualifies you to be conferred the title of General?" Yan Long replied with a sneer.

There was a reason for his remark. Just moments ago, Yan Long was planning how to best attack Tang Zhong, when he observed the other man’s records and almost laughed to death.

An empty record, with only a few minor things listed.

For example, reorganizing the Three Dragon Units into Dragon Hidden.

And then some trivial matters during his time with the Dragon Group.

Beyond that, nothing was recorded.

From Yan Long’s perspective, if such meager accomplishments could earn the title of General, the Yan Family could have done it long ago.

What he didn’t know, however, was that Tang Zhong’s achievements were classified, documented only in confidential state records.

"Even if your title was granted as a special exception by the top leader, your accomplishments don’t justify it. Therefore, the Yan Family opposes it!" Yan Long declared.

Younger representatives of other families echoed their agreement.

To them, a title of General was something only their family members deserved. Anyone else simply wasn’t qualified.

Those present, upon hearing their remarks, realized the confrontation had truly begun.

"These bastards..." Bai Xiaochun clenched her fists tightly. She believed firmly that Tang Zhong was qualified.

Peng Yuan nearly stormed up to argue with the younger generation but held himself back. To Tang Zhong, these privileged heirs were nothing.

Yet Tang Zhong remained utterly calm, looking at Yan Long with indifference. "So, you’re all opposing me?" he asked.

"Yes!" Yan Long replied, astonished. He hadn’t expected Tang Zhong to be so agreeable. Could he really have talked the man out of it this easily?

It only reaffirmed his belief that Tang Zhong was unworthy of being General Divine Dragon. A man like this—surely he’d just gotten lucky enough to stumble into this appointment.

"But I was granted this title by the top leader himself. Your opposition—what good does it do?" Tang Zhong replied, his tone still calm.

As soon as he spoke, Yan Long and his group looked visibly unsettled. Indeed, the title of General Divine Dragon was a special exception granted by the top leader.

"And are you jealous? But even if you are, what can you do about it?" Tang Zhong added with a faint smile.

"You..." Yan Long ground his teeth angrily.

They had come intending to humiliate this man, yet he had the audacity to fire back, leaving them speechless. After all, the appointment had come from the top leader himself.

Bai Xiaochun, along with Peng Yuan, watching from the audience, were stunned. Bai Xiaochun had been full of worry before, yet now she couldn’t help but laugh in secret at Tang Zhong’s retort.

Onlookers were even more dumbfounded.

Sometimes, connections are everything, particularly in the Martial Realm, where the most powerful families dominated the dais.

For this General Divine Dragon to act so arrogant—he was finished. A man so clueless as to his surroundings couldn’t last long in a position like this. People were openly targeting him, and showing deference was clearly the smartest play.

But this man had the audacity to argue—was that not courting death?

And to everyone’s astonishment, Tang Zhong suddenly stood up, his posture proud, and declared with a smile, "No matter what, I am still General Divine Dragon. You must envy me, right? In that case, keep envying me!"
