C2 The end of the year is approaching

"Young Master is so capable!" The crowd below the arena cheered.

They were all Escort s or warriors from the Shen family, and not warriors from the Escort. Their martial arts were all inferior to the Escort's, so without the Escort Flag, they could only be a epigynous hand in the escort company.

And the "Uncle Dao" Li Yidao, who the youth did not exchange moves with, was a Escort. Different from epigynous hand, Escort was divided into strong and weak according to their individual escort flags. The weakest Escort was the First Flag Escort, then the Second Flag Escort, all the way until the Five Flag Escort was also called Standard Flag Escort. And Li Yidao, who was over forty years old, was already a Three Flag Escort. A Three Flag Escort was not weak, and those of the same generation that were able to fight to a standstill could be considered few. But today, a Three Flag Escort had fought with a youth for a hundred moves, and the youth did not lose, which caused everyone to be shocked, and they all gasped in admiration at the youth's ability. Even though they had been together with this young man from morning to night, this scene still caused them to cry out in alarm!

It could be said that the youth's growth was a testament to their own, and that the youth's extraordinary strength was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The young man was called Shen Kai, the adopted son of the Shen family's patriarch Shen Xing. He was a natural born genius in martial arts, and was famous for being a genius.

When Shen Kai was thirteen, he had already reached the standard of a one-flag Escort. At the age of sixteen, he defeated all the Second Flag Escort s in the large and small escort companies of Hu City, which could be said to be no different from the real deal. Even though he had already been in charge of epigynous hand for a few years and possessed the strength of a Second Flag Escort and his father, Shen Xing, had never allowed him to lead his team over there, Shen Kai still used his status as a epigynous hand to do the same. After that, Shen Kai's reputation gradually sank. Other than the people in Taixing Escort Office, there were very few people who had heard of Shen Kai.

After all, from time to time, talented young Escort s as well as strong and powerful Escort would appear in the escort groups from different continents. As time goes by, people would rather pay attention to those powerful Escort who have been famous for a long time. Falling reputation tends to be forgotten!

"Master Li, Second Young Master, the boss has summoned you to the main hall." A guard respectfully said.

Shen Kai nodded, then gestured for Li Yidao to follow him towards the hall.

Arriving at the main hall, he saw more than a dozen people sitting in the hall. Each of them was as strong as a bear and had resolute expressions on their faces. Everyone had a solemn face. A sense of killing intent that had long been seen in the martial world was being emitted from them.

These were all Escort s of the Taixing Escort Office. Li Yidao bowed towards a middle aged man sitting in the middle of the hall before sitting down in an empty seat.

"Xiao Kai greets Father, position head, and all masters." Shen Kai performed a junior's salute and stood to the side.

"Brother." Shen Kai walked to the side, and asked while nodding to a young man. He was Shen Kai's elder brother, the young master of the Taixing Escort Office, and the biological son of Shen Xing, who was three years older than him. In the face of Shen Kai's greeting, Shen Feng did not reply.

This was not the first time Shen Kai had seen someone with that kind of attitude. Ever since Shen Kai turned twelve, Shen Feng had never smiled at him, nor did he have a good expression. Shen Kai rubbed his nose and quietly stood to the side without saying a word.

At the center of the hall sat Taixing Escort Office's manager and Chief Escort Head Shen Xing, as well as the two vice escort leaders. Although Shen Xing was not tall, with a medium build, but she still had an imposing manner, even though she was not angry.

Shen Xing smiled and praised his adopted son.

Withdrawing his gaze, Shen Xing did not say anything unnecessary, and went straight to the main topic, "The Annual Entrance is about to begin, and the Annual Escort Assembly will soon also begin. The reason I called everyone here this time is to see how everyone is preparing."

"The Escort's Great Assembly is a gathering that the Hundred Escort Alliance holds every year. The people from the Escort and the martial artists from all over the place will spar with each other, and there will even be a test by the Escort. The various trading companies would also send representatives to test the strength of each escort team. If our Taixing Escort Office can display his prowess in this conference, the business of the Escort Office will definitely flourish next year. " Beside Shen Xing was, the second in command of the escort company, who was responsible for the accounting office and communication with the various factions. Martial power could only be considered average among the Escort, but since he was good at handling matters based on strategy, he was in charge of the escort team's money and outreach work. He was deeply trusted by Shen Xing, and half of the credit for Taixing Escort Office's performance today was because of him.

"What is your boss's plan?" His name was Jia Kui, and he was the Escort with the highest level of martial power other than Shen Xing and the two secondary bodyguards, Standard Flag Escort.

"I agree with the Second Leader and the few position head s that you should participate in the Escort's martial arts competition. I don't want you to get first place, but you must at least enter the top three in each group. Shen Xing said passionately.

"Head, this mission isn't ordinary." The Escort had a bitter look on her face.

"Boss, there are at least a hundred home escort office s in different parts of the country. Not to mention me, there are also ten great escort offices above Taixing Escort Office. There were also many martial arts experts within the ten escort groups. "This …" Jia Kui did not continue, but he knew that Shen Xing had already understood what he meant.

Shen Xing faintly nodded his head as he sipped the tea in his cup, and then closed the lid of the cup once more. "Alright, regardless of anything else, you must enter the top three in this group of yours."

Hearing that, the corner of Jia Kui's mouth twitched, and for a moment he did not know what to say. He knew very well Shen Xing's character, these words were not like a joke, and Shen Xing's action of closing the teacup had also let him understand that he had finished, so there was no room for discussion.

In the end, Jia Kui could only bitterly smile and accept this difficult mission. Through a large gathering, he would test the strength of an escort team, and the most direct method would be to test the top combat strength of the escort team. There were clear rules stating that the head of the escort team and other characters above the escort team could not participate in the competition, so Standard Flag Escort was the representative of the power of this escort team, and Jia Kui knew that he had a heavy responsibility.

"The old one is done. Let's talk about the young one now." Shen Xing's originally expressionless face revealed a faint smile as he looked at Shen Kai.

"Kai'er, Feng'er, this time, the two of you should come as well and participate in the Escort's assessment."

"Yes." replied excitedly. Becoming a Escort was his dream since he was young. Since he was twelve years old, he had been following the various Escort s in the escort company for dozens of times. Every single time, they would look with envious eyes at Escort, who was riding on a horse and walking in the center of the troop. He also hoped that one day he would be able to rely on his own abilities to safely escort a dart.

Unlike Shen Kai's excited attitude, Shen Feng still had a calm expression, only, he had a complicated look in his eyes as he looked at Shen Kai, who was beside him, and then, shifted his gaze away in disgust. No one had noticed his gaze, and no one could guess what he was thinking in his heart.

"Good fortune for the leaders. The two young masters have outstanding aptitudes and already have such cultivation at such a young age. As for the second young master, he is even more extraordinary. He truly makes us envious."

Some of them were already the same age as Shen Feng, but in terms of martial arts, they were not even close to Shen Feng, let alone compare with the younger and stronger Shen Kai.
