Chapter 14: Convinced
After class, Li Ye and his three companions did not leave immediately. As expected, four people from the Wang family gang walked towards them.

Before they could speak, Li Ye took the lead and said, "You are the Wang Clan Gang, right? Who among you is Wang Wulong?"

The voice was arrogant and unbridled, as if it didn't take the four of them seriously at all.

Wang Wulong is tall and strong, with messy short hair and a scar on the right cheek, which adds a hint of ruthlessness to the boy's appearance.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I am Wang Wulong, and you are Li Ye?"

"It's me. No need to waste time. If you are a real man, go to the fighting arena and compete with me."

Li Ye took the initiative to propose a duel on the Island of Dead Souls. This was not only because he was confident in his own strength, but he also intended to defeat them with his strength.

Wang Wulong was stunned at first, then turned to look at the tall young man beside him, and saw him nod. He replied to Li Ye, "Okay, let's go. Who's afraid of who?"

Li Ye laughed secretly, "They are still children, they can't stand provocation."

The two teams walked towards the fighting arena.

The fighting spirit arena is not far to the east of the genius class teaching building, on a small island in the middle of a lake.

There is only one passage leading to the island, and there is no spirit-suppressing stone on the island, so you can summon guardian spirits freely.

When we arrived at the island, there was a big gate. Standing at the gate was a young man in white clothes with long pure white hair. He gave people an extremely gentle and peaceful feeling.

"My name is Bai Lingze, you can just call me Teacher Bai. Do you want to use the fighting spirit arena to duel?"

Everyone nodded. Teacher Bai glanced at them, then opened the door and let us in.

Inside is a huge circular platform with a diameter of several hundred meters and multiple stairs leading up.

Li Ye took the lead and jumped onto the platform.

The four members of the Wang family gang were whispering, as if they were discussing who would go first.

Seeing this, Li Ye said directly: "You don't need to discuss who goes up first, you all go up together."

Li Ye thought that if he wanted to win, he had to win with an absolute crushing victory.

The four of them seemed to be enraged, and the tall young man in the lead said coldly: "Your Excellency really doesn't take us seriously!"

Gao Chong, Yang Tianyu and Fang Shuwen also felt worried. After all, they were outnumbered one against four, and these four were all outstanding geniuses.

Li Ye shrugged and said nonchalantly: "It's not that I don't take you seriously, but I have full confidence and absolute certainty in myself."

"Humph, come on then. I want to see if your strength matches your arrogance, and see if Li Cunxiao can really suppress our four guardian spirits!"

Four people also went up to the platform.

"Li Cunxiao!" Li Ye summoned Li Cunxiao directly.

Li Cunxiao, who looked like a god or demon, appeared behind Li Ye. The terrifying murderous aura came like a tide, making the people present feel as if they were in a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

The faces of the four people opposite suddenly became solemn, but they were not too panicked. They summoned their guardian spirits in an orderly manner.

"Wang Zhongsi!" Wang Shichuan summoned the guardian spirit Wang Zhongsi.

A golden figure appeared behind Wang Shichuan, more than five meters tall, wearing golden armor, holding a lance, with a large bow on his back. He looked extraordinary and heroic. He was none other than Wang Zhongsi, the most famous general in the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

Wang Zhongsi, the first god of war in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, was the adopted son of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji. He was a god of war and had extraordinary fighting power. He pacified Tuyuhun, suppressed Tubo, and destroyed the Later Turkic Khaganate. He once fought to the point that there was no war in the north. He was once the governor of Shuofang, Hedong, Hexi and Longyou.

"Wang Yanzhang!" Wang Wulong summoned the guardian spirit Wang Yanzhang.

A huge figure over five meters tall appeared behind Wang Wulong, holding a long iron spear, with several scars on his face and wearing dark blue armor.

Wang Yanzhang was the second most powerful general in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and the most powerful general in the Later Liang Dynasty. Wang Yanzhang joined the army when he was young and followed the Liang Taizu Zhu Quanzhong to fight. He was famous for his bravery and was always the vanguard in every battle. He charged into battle with a spear and made many military achievements. He was defeated and captured, but he would rather die than surrender.

"Wang Meng!" Wang Boren summoned the guardian spirit Wang Meng.

Wang Meng was also over five meters tall, wearing white armor, holding a spear, with a sword at his waist. He had an upright figure but was not burly, and looked like a Confucian general.

Wang Meng, a famous general and prime minister of the Former Qin Dynasty, was born in poverty and was handsome. He lived in Wei County in his early years. He liked to read military books, was good at strategy and military tactics, and was both civil and military. He had strict military discipline, quelled the rebellion of the Five Dukes, led troops to capture the capital of the Former Yan Dynasty, and supervised the military affairs of the six states in Guandong. He was a general and a prime minister, helping Fu Jian unify the north. He was even called "the first person to surpass Zhuge Liang in achievements"

"Wang Yue!" Wang Sheng summoned the guardian spirit Wang Sheng.

Wang Yue was more than 18 feet tall, holding a three-foot-long sword, wearing a black linen shirt, exuding a cold temperament, like a peerless sword that could cut through gold and iron. Wang Yue, the Sword Saint of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was known as the "No. 30 Sword of the Three Kingdoms". His birth and death dates are unknown, but at the age of , he rode into the Helan Mountains and took the head of the Qiang leader alone. At the age of , he traveled around the states and fought all over the world. Not only that, at the age of , he opened a martial arts school in Luoyang. He was very famous during the reigns of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling. According to legend, he was Shi A's teacher and Cao Pi's master.

The four guardian spirits are extraordinary.

However, Li Cunxiao and Li Ye were not timid or afraid at all. Instead, they felt extremely excited.

Li Cunxiao took the lead and galloped towards the four guardian spirits.

He swung the King Yu's Spear and slashed towards Wang Yanzhang.

When Wang Yanzhang saw Li Cunxiao rushing towards him, he turned pale and quickly dodged.

Wang Yue suddenly appeared behind Li Cunxiao and swung his sword at Li Cunxiao's back. The sword collided with Li Cunxiao's back, but a sound of metal hitting metal was made.

This is exactly the talent that Li Cunxiao was born with. He has trained the Thirteen Guardians and has a body as strong as steel.

Wang Yue was slightly stunned. Li Cunxiao's counterattack had already arrived. Bi Yanlao appeared in front of Wang Yue in an instant. Wang Yue was knocked dozens of meters away. The huge wound on his chest almost made him lose his combat capability.

As an assassin-type guardian spirit, Wang Yue is almost defenseless once he is attacked.

Then, Wang Zhongsi and Wang Yanzhang attacked Li Cunxiao together. Both of them stabbed Li Cunxiao. Li Cunxiao's Yuwang Spear slapped left and right successively. The huge force directly shook Wang Zhongsi and Wang Yanzhang away.

But soon, the two men raised their spears at the same time and attacked Li Cunxiao from top to bottom. Li Cunxiao held up the Yuwang Spear horizontally and took the attacks from the two men.

The three magical weapons collided violently in the air, causing sparks, and then thrust upwards, and the weapons of the two men were directly blown away.

Immediately, Li Cunxiao swung the Yuwang Spear and stabbed the two men. Wang Zhongsi and Wang Yanzhang were also seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

Wang Meng summoned a large number of black cavalry and charged towards Li Cunxiao. Li Cunxiao showed a cruel smile on his face and rushed towards the black torrent alone.

He alone is a legion!
The black-armored cavalry suffered heavy losses under Li Cunxiao's charge, and were slaughtered and routed. Li Cunxiao's every blow could kill several soldiers, but the soldiers could not hurt him at all. With just one swing of his hand, he could destroy an entire army.

Li Cunxiao easily rushed in front of Wang Meng.

"We surrender. We are indeed no match for you." Wang Shichuan quickly admitted defeat, and soon the four of them recalled their guardian spirits.

Li Ye also took Li Cunxiao back into his body.

"Are you convinced?" Li Ye came up to the four of them and said lightly.

"You are really strong. We have no words to say and are sincerely convinced after losing to you." Wang Shichuan and his men had to accept the defeat even if they were unwilling to. Four people fought against one person, but were defeated by the opponent with a crushing force.

"Are you willing to follow me?" Li Ye felt that the time had come and asked the four people.

"what?"

"I say, I want to accomplish great things. Are the four of you willing to follow me and build an unprecedented achievement together?" Li Ye spoke again very seriously.

The scene was very quiet for a while.

The four of them were thinking with frowns on their faces, and Li Ye watched quietly without disturbing them.

After a long while, Wang Shichuan nodded firmly and said, "I, Wang Shichuan, am willing to follow my lord!"

Then, Wang Wulong also nodded, "I, Wang Wulong, am willing to follow the lord."

"I, Wang Boren, am also willing..."

"Me too."

Hearing the four people's answers, Li Ye smiled and said happily: "Thank you all for your trust. If you don't let me down, I, Li Ye, will not let you down either."

"Also, you don't have to call me Lord. From now on, you can just call me Boss."

At this time, Fang Shuwen, Gao Chong, and Yang Tianyu also came over. Fang Shuwen saw this and knew what had happened. "Congratulations, Boss, you got what you wanted."

Li Ye smiled, feeling hot inside.

Now, he already has a preliminary team of forces, just like the entrepreneurial teams of those founding monarchs in ancient times have already taken shape.
