Chapter 821

As soon as Xu Yan's voice fell, the 85,555 Heavenly Soldiers looked at each other.

"What? The deputy commander personally appointed by Lord Tang Ning! This person looks so young. Is he really that powerful? "

"If he becomes the deputy commander, won't one of the original three deputy commanders be demoted?"

"Damn it, a deputy commander dropped out of nowhere. Is he a powerful figure from the upper echelons of the Celestial Court?"

The Heavenly Soldiers were in an uproar. They were shocked by the news they had just heard.

"Lord Tang Ning actually wants that kid to be the deputy commander of Planet War Wolf and be in charge of at least 65,555 Heavenly Soldiers?"

In the crowd, You Xu's eyes were filled with jealousy when he heard that. He never expected that Gu Chen would become the second-in-command of Planet War Wolf without even participating in the recruit training!

"Big Brother Gu is going to be the deputy commander. That's great!"

On the contrary, Long Ao, Long Fang, and the others all revealed looks of surprise. Even Long Yun's lips curled into a smile.

Gu Chen stood at the front of the group. He had just learned of this news. He could not help but frown as a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Logically speaking, since Tang Ning had personally appointed him, there was no doubt about the legitimacy of his position. However, that Xu Yan seemed to have ill intentions!

"After Lord Tang Ning gave the order, I specially investigated this kid named Gu Chen. I found out that he disappeared for five years after passing the Heavenly Soldier selection. He didn't even participate in the recruit training!

"Is it reasonable for a person who can't even be considered a recruit to become the deputy commander of our War Wolf Heavenly Army? Is this fair to you? "

Xu Yan's voice became loud and clear. His words ignited the emotions of the 85,555 Heavenly Soldiers present, and they all spoke up.

"It's not fair! The deputy commander position should be selected from among the soldiers of Planet War Wolf! "

"Our War Wolf Heavenly Army has fought all over the world. Countless brothers have shed their blood and shed their lives. If we let a bigwig who came through the back door become the deputy commander, how can we convince the masses?"

There was a continuous stream of objections on the Drill Ground, as if they had long been prepared. They spoke in unison, putting Gu Chen in an awkward position, as if he was being cooked in a pot!

Gu Chen's expression turned ugly. He glanced at the surroundings and realized that Commander Xu had probably planned this a long time ago!

"Has Commander Xu gone mad? Big Brother Gu was personally appointed by Lord Tang Ning. Now that he's doing this, isn't he openly opposing Lord Tang Ning? "

When Long Fang saw that all the soldiers were looking at Gu Chen with hostility, she immediately became anxious. She did not understand why the commander was doing this.

Long Yun took a deep breath. He had a better understanding of Commander Xu. "Commander Xu has always been famous in the Heavenly Army for being upright and outspoken. He has strict discipline and hates those soldiers who go through the back door the most. Lord Tang Ning is deliberately pushing Gu Chen into the fire pit. No matter which army he sends Gu Chen to, it won't end up like this! "

"Then what should we do? Big Brother Gu is in trouble now. "Long Ao and the others were anxious, afraid that Gu Chen would become the target of public criticism.

"Let's keep watching. Even if Commander Xu doesn't want Gu Chen to take the position of Deputy Commander, he has to have an excuse. He won't dare to directly disobey military orders."

Long Yun said solemnly, his fists subconsciously clenched.

"Five thousand years ago, I, Xu Yan, passed the Heavenly Soldier selection on the trial planet. After that, I came to Battle Wolf Planet and worked hard to climb up step by step. I've experienced countless dangerous missions and countless battles, big and small, before finally standing in the position of commander!"

"There are thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers here. Apart from some rookies, everyone has participated in life-and-death battles and almost lost their lives."

"We are united and fought to defend Ancient Heaven. We shed our blood and shed our lives without a word of complaint!"

"I've seen all of your hard work. Therefore, if anyone becomes the Deputy Commander so easily, how can I, Xu Yan, explain it to you? How can I convince the masses? "

Xu Yan continued. His words infected a large number of Heavenly Soldiers. Many of them thought of their comrades who had gone through life and death with them, and their gazes toward Gu Chen became even more unfriendly.

Gu Chen stood expressionlessly. He had already understood Xu Yan's thoughts.

"Gu Chen!"

After Xu Yan's touching speech, he looked at him again, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

"You were sent here by Lord Tang Ning. As a subordinate, I have no right to refuse orders, but you've seen the situation on Battle Wolf Planet. If you're just a silver spearhead, even if you become the Deputy Commander, no one will obey you, and no one will listen to your orders!"

"Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Xu Yan seemed to be asking for Gu Chen's opinion, but his tone was aggressive. He held up an invisible knife, making it impossible for Gu Chen to dodge. He could only collide head-on.

As soon as he finished speaking, the 85,555 Heavenly Soldiers stomped their feet in unison. Their voices were deafening, and their anger soared into the sky!

Gu Chen smiled and looked up at Xu Yan on the high platform.

He stood with his hands behind his back, still calm and composed. He did not lose his composure under the aura of 85,555 Heavenly Soldiers.

"Commander Xu's words are extremely reasonable. In that case, according to commander's opinion, what should I do in order to have the qualifications to become a deputy commander so that everyone will submit to me?"

Xu Yan had already thought of an excuse and immediately said. "It's very simple. As long as you defeat any of the three Deputy Commanders behind me, I'll believe that you have the strength to become the Deputy Commander!"

Gu Chen smiled and turned to look at the 85,555 white robes behind him. "As long as I defeat one Deputy Commander, all of you will obey me?"

Only a small portion of the 85,555 Heavenly Soldiers answered yes. Most of them still looked unconvinced.

Even if Gu Chen was lucky enough to defeat one of the Deputy Commanders, in their opinion, he still did not have the qualifications to command them. After all, he had never fought alongside them before!

"Looks like even if I win against any of the Deputy Commanders, I still don't have any rallying power in the War Wolf Heavenly Army." Gu Chen shook his head regretfully.

"So you're saying that you want to give up?" Xu Yan sneered. If the other party gave up without even fighting, then it would be easy for him to explain to Lord Tang Ning.

"No, I want to change my opponent."

The corners of Gu Chen's mouth curled up. The golden cloak on his battle robe fluttered without any wind. The Kunlun Emperor Sword emerged from his left palm and was held in his hand. He pointed it at the Immortal King Xu Yan from afar.

"Commander Xu, why don't we fight? If I win against you, let me be the Deputy Commander. From now on, everyone will have to obey me! "

Gu Chen's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every Heavenly Soldier present, causing everyone to be dumbfounded.

He didn't look for a Deputy Commander to spar with, but directly challenged the supreme commander of Planet War Wolf!

How arrogant and confident was that?!

Xu Yan's expression froze. He never expected that the other party would not play by the rules!

"Stupid and ignorant!"

Soon, Xu Yan's expression turned gloomy. The vast Celestial Force on his body fluctuated, reaching the level of a Middle-stage Celestial King. His aura almost drowned the entire drill ground!
