Chapter 8: The Great General Lei (Part 2)

  "Are you Niú Shísān?" In a stone chamber the size of a basketball court, Hǔ Dà Tǒng Lǐng sat stably on a stone chair, carelessly looking at Léi Háo who came to receive the Grand Leader's cloak and waist plate.

  "Yes, I am Niu Thirteen." Facing this tiger leader Lei Hao who had lashed himself with a whip, he couldn't pretend to be a gentle grandson. He could only pretend to be calm and composed, as if he hadn't seen the tiger leader's careless expression.

  The Great Tiger Leader's face turned gloomy as he looked at Lei Hao's calm demeanor, "Is this weak little demon who relied on a bit of luck to kill a small snake like Snake Flash thinking of being on an equal footing with him just because he has recently risen to power? What is he worth? Shouldn't he be trembling with fear and speaking to him with a flattering face?" The Great Tiger Leader thought angrily as he looked at the calm Lei Hao.

  "You little brat, what are you? How dare you speak to me like that. Have you never been whipped before?" The Tiger General growled, baring his teeth at Lei Hao.

  As soon as the Tiger General mentioned the whip, Lei Hao's anger, which he had been trying to suppress with great effort, suddenly surged up. This tiger demon was a Great General, and so was Lei Hao - who was afraid of whom? Who was intimidated by whom?

  "Hmm, Tiger Grand Marshal is quite arrogant today. Are you thinking of whipping me? Who do you think you are? Your Majesty?" Lei Hao replied, pausing between each sentence, especially emphasizing the words "Grand Marshal" and "Your Majesty". This wasn't just directed at Tiger Marshal, but also at Fox Seven beside him, who was a subordinate of the Demon King. If Tiger Marshal continued to bully Lei Hao, it would be equivalent to not putting the Demon King in his eyes. If this were to reach the Demon King's ears, Tiger Marshal would be in trouble. As for those who could become Grand Marshals among the demon world, which one wasn't more cunning than humans? Lei Hao's words contained a small trap that Tiger Grand Marshal shouldn't have been unaware of.

  So the face of Hu Dati, the Great General, became increasingly ugly, and he secretly made up his mind to make Lei Hao look good later. However, he didn't say another word, apparently, the demonic king's pressure was not only effective on small demons, even Hu Dati, the Great General, did not dare to disobey after the Demonic King promoted him to a higher position. Hu Dati turned around and ordered his subordinates to bring Lei Hao's cloak, then waved his hand and a yellow energy shot towards Lei Hao quickly. Lei Hao was not afraid, he had calculated that Hu Dati would not dare to attack him now that he had just been promoted by the Demonic King. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the energy, as soon as he did, Lei Hao knew he had made the right bet.

  This air was the waist card of Lei Hao's great general, a copper-made waist card that was much better than Lei Hao's previous small team leader wooden waist card. Soon, several little monsters brought over the pendants belonging to Lei Hao, and Lei Hao took them directly without even looking at Hu Tongling, then walked out with Hu Qi. Since they had already made an enemy of each other, why bother talking so much? Hu Tongling didn't dare come openly, at least not now, as for what tricks this tiger monster would play, Lei Hao couldn't care less.

  "My brother has an IQ of 120 and scored 520 on the college entrance exam. Are you afraid that this wild beast will turn into a turtle?" Lei Hao muttered to himself.

  "Brother Niu, no, Great Leader Niu... after I met you at twenty, I have been loyal only to you. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west; if you tell me to go west, I will never go east..." Just as Lei Hao returned to his stone chamber, Bao Ershi arrived with news and began to fawn over him. This Bao Ershi was also a unique individual - when Lei Hao had potential, he would curry favor with him and directly make him the small team leader to consolidate his own position; now that Lei Hao's potential had become real power, Bao Ershi flattered him without any awkwardness of having been a superior turned subordinate, nor did he show any jealousy. Lei Hao considered promoting him due to Bao Ershi's past treatment of him being not bad.

  "Leopard leader..." Lei Hao had just opened his mouth when Leopard Twenty immediately bowed down, "Great Leader Niu, you're being too polite. You can just call me Leopard Twenty." In Leopard Twenty's eyes, this was a sign that Lei Hao didn't want to accept him.

  "Alright, Leopard Brother, from now on I'll be called Lei Hao. Remember that, and don't call me Niu Thirteen again. And do you know which great general died in the Snake Demon Cave this time?" Seeing Bao Er's fearful appearance, Lei Hao didn't press him for his position and instead used a more familiar title. As a great general, he was now qualified to give himself a name, so Lei Hao took the opportunity to formally introduce his own name - he wasn't Niu Thirteen, but Lei Hao.

  Upon hearing Leihao's words, Bajie let out a sigh of relief. "Reporting to General Leihao, the one who died in battle was Wolf Great General. I heard it was in that huge pit created by Qing Snake King, not even a complete corpse was found." This information was apparently only known to these great generals from Water Worn Cave, as the Battle of Qing Snake Cave had passed for so long, yet Leihao didn't know that Water Worn Cave had lost another Great General.

  "How many demon troops are under the command of the Great Wolf Commander?" Lei Hao thought for a moment and then asked again about the demon troops he was going to take over.

  "There are four great leaders in the Water Cavern, with Tiger Great Leader being one of the three inner dan realms. He is in charge of everything within the cavern except for the other three great leaders. The other three great leaders each have ten small leaders under them, and each small leader has two squad captains under him, with fifty demon soldiers in each squad. We were previously part of Wolf Great Leader's team." Lei Hao finally understood how the ruling hierarchy of the Water Cavern was structured, as he had never been told about these things before as a lowly squad captain.

  "Alright, pass on my orders. Gather all the demon troops that were under Wolf Great General's command to the training grounds outside the cave." Knowing he had a great deal of power in his hands, Lei Hao immediately gave orders to Bao Er Shi.

  "Yes sir." Bao exited the stone chamber with a bow.

  Lei Hao sat alone on the stone bed, pondering for a long time. He had already made up his mind and put on what was known as the "Great General's Armor", a set of armor that Lei Hao believed to be a demonic king's unknown origin from some human country, modified by a demon craftsman. With the wolf-toothed club in hand, he walked out.

  When Lei Hao arrived at the school field, he saw five or six hundred demon soldiers below, and frowned, but after thinking about it, he understood that many must have died in the great battle of Qing She Cave. It's also understandable, with a way of fighting that kills one million enemies but loses eight thousand of their own, it's not surprising that so many demon soldiers died.

  "I am your great leader, previously known as Niu Shi San, now known as Lei Hao." As soon as Lei Hao stepped onto the dueling platform, he let out a loud roar.

  "Have seen Lord Lei's leadership." The voice was loud but uneven.

  Lei Hao's gaze swept over the group of demon soldiers, his furrowed brow growing increasingly tight. Only when he saw his 23rd squad did his expression slightly improve. These demon soldiers had not received any regular training since their transformation, and their foolish appearance and chaotic formation made Lei Hao understand what it meant to be a mob.

  Lei Hao couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he simply stopped watching and shouted loudly: "The small commander steps forward!" The demon group stirred, and then 7 powerful demons stood out, with Bao Er in the lineup. Lei Hao took a glance, and then shouted again: "The squad leader steps forward!" Another commotion ensued, and 50 or 60 outstanding but ordinary demons stepped out, making Lei Hao frown again. The squad leaders were of this caliber, not even comparable to his own former demon soldiers... no wonder Bao Er had always said he looked up to him...

  The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The former Lei Hao only focused on improving himself and his subordinates' strength, although he knew that the Shuigou Cave's demonic army was trash, but didn't have a concrete understanding of it. Now he knows. These demonic troops are fundamentally unusable under him and must be remade from scratch.

  "The 23rd squad, fall in." Lei Hao didn't even bother to glance at those demon troops again.

  Upon hearing Lei Hao's loud shout, Niu Jiushi and Hu Baishi led the brothers to quickly disperse the demonic soldiers in front of them, charging out with neat steps. These fifty brothers trained by Lei Hao had undergone the baptism of war, their auras becoming even more condensed, emitting a thick and sharp aura like a heavy backslash knife. Moreover, the auras of all fifty brothers were gathered together, moving as one like an iron plate. This was the demonic army in Lei Hao's heart. The other demonic armies compared to them were like water and oil, clearly distinguishable, making Lei Hao feel waves of comfort in his heart.

  After the team stopped, all the cow ninety-two, tiger eighty-seven and other brothers looked at Lei Hao with fervent eyes. They were a group of enlightened demons with Lei Hao, and due to proper training, their intelligence was higher than that of ordinary demon soldiers. Therefore, they also knew why the demon soldiers who had transformed together in the past were now dead or crippled, while they had all survived and become even stronger. Others thought Lei Hao's strength was just luck, but they saw how Lei Hao had step by step reached his current state, and their worship of him had already surpassed that of the Demon King.

  "Niu ninety-two and Hu eighty-seven take the lead, the others each take eleven yao soldiers from the Yao army..." Lei Hao pointed to the 23rd squad towards the Yao army.

  "Roger that, Commander Lei!" The 23rd squad responded in unison, though they didn't quite understand.

  After the 23rd squad dispersed and walked into the demon army, Lei Hao pointed to the seven small commanders and a group of small team leaders who had just left the formation and said to Niu Jiuer and Hu Baishi: "From now on, you two will be their commanders. Niu Jiuer is the main one, and Hu Baishi is the deputy." He didn't care about the expressions of those small commanders who changed color at the same time. The strongest of these small commanders was also higher than Lei Hao's current strength by one or two points, but what does that matter? Lei Hao is the great commander, they are not. No one in Shuixudong dares to disobey the Demon King and the Mixed World Demon King for the time being. Moreover, Lei Hao believes that his strength will soon surpass theirs, and the distance will become greater and greater.

  Lei Hao finished speaking and stopped talking, looking at the noisy and quarrelsome demon army in front of him, secretly thinking about something. This wait lasted for nearly half an hour, until the brothers below finally selected all the demon soldiers, and Lei Hao casually assigned the remaining ones to each small team.

  "From now on, they will be your squad leaders, responsible for your training. All you need to do is obey, obey and obey again. Those who disobey, kill." Lei Hao looked at the demon army below, hardened his heart and shouted loudly, when he shouted out the word "kill", a strong murderous aura burst out from his entire body. Although unwilling, Lei Hao had after all killed countless snake demons, so naturally there was a strong murderous aura on his body, this strong murderous aura directly made all the demon soldiers below feel a shock in their hearts.

  "My brothers, I trained you in the past and now it's your turn to train them. In half a year, I want to see the results of your training. Those who qualify will return to be my Thunder Guards, while those who don't will continue to serve as squad leaders for me. Do you want to be squad leaders?"

  "I don't want to." The fifty shouts rose to the sky, and the answer did not disappoint Lei Hao.

  "Training begins." With a wave of his large hand, Lei Hao's grand training session had officially commenced.
