"Today, no one can stop me from becoming famous."

Sohan Yi stood on the city wall, repeatedly telling himself this.

At this moment, the majestic main city of Tianshui was densely packed with troops.

Although this city was not as large as the capital Jidu, it still had a circumference of twenty miles, walls four to five meters high, and a population of over a hundred thousand.

This was because it had once been the front line against the barbarians.

However, in recent decades, the southern barbarians had been continuously suppressed by the Anger Wave Kingdom and had fled to the south of the Ten Thousand Mountains. Therefore, the southwestern barbarians no longer dared to cross the Wilderness Canyon, and Tianshui City had enjoyed peace for decades.

Sohan Yi stood on the city wall, his eyes sharp like an eagle, staring at a few miles away outside the city.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Thirty thousand rebel troops surged toward Tianshui City like a tidal wave.

An army of over ten thousand is boundless, and thirty thousand rebels spread out on the ground, completely obscuring the horizon, truly like a surging tide.

This moment had finally arrived; the rebellion that had been brewing for nearly a year had finally come!

The root of this rebellion lay in the sudden severe injury of Baron Solong eight years ago, which forced him to leave Tianshui City to seek treatment in Jidu.

The entire Tianshui City had been without a master for eight years.

Of course, there was another reason: the future master of Tianshui City, Solon, was utterly incompetent. As a result, these high-ranking lords had completely lost their respect for their lord.

The rebels numbered thirty thousand, while the defending troops of Tianshui City numbered only ten thousand.

However, Sohan Yi was completely unconcerned, and he did not even take these thirty thousand rebels seriously.

Since he came of age, he had never lost a single battle, whether personal or military.

Facing the vast thirty thousand rebels, he felt no fear, only excitement.

This was a war he had long anticipated. After today, he would make the name of Sohan Yi, the undefeated, known throughout the entire Anger Wave Kingdom.

He wanted everyone to see, especially Soling Bing, that he, Sohan Yi, was the pillar of Tianshui City and the only savior of the So family.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

Thirty thousand rebels marched with整齐的步伐, approaching Tianshui City with an unstoppable momentum.

Anyone with weak nerves would collapse and be unable to breathe just from seeing this scene.

Suddenly, Sohan Yi's right hand tightened; it was his wife, Yang Hongyi.

Indeed, both of their names contained the character "yi." This was because both names were given by Solong.

Yang Hongyi was the daughter of a So family vassal. Her father, Yang Lie, died protecting his lord, Solong, in a battle. Therefore, Solong had raised Yang Hongyi as his own and trained her diligently.

To a large extent, Yang Hongyi was like a daughter to Solong, just like Sohan Yi. However, she had her own father and a prominent family, so she still bore the surname Yang.

Sohan Yi, Soling Bing, Yang Hongyi, and Solon had grown up together.

What Solon feared most from a young age was not Sohan Yi or Soling Bing. Sohan Yi was too proud and only looked down on him, not paying him any attention. Soling Bing was too gentle, but Yang Hongyi was very fierce and never hesitated to scold or beat Solon when necessary.

Like Sohan Yi, Yang Hongyi also had a strong sense of belonging and ownership towards the So family, so she subconsciously treated Solon as her younger brother.

Her fierce personality and high martial arts skills made it impossible for Solon to resist her beatings. Over time, Solon came to fear her like a tiger.

The reason Yang Hongyi became Sohan Yi's wife was twofold: first, Sohan Yi had proposed to Solong to marry Soling Bing, but Soling Bing already had a betrothal. Solong wanted to immediately dispel his adopted son's idea. Additionally, Yang Hongyi had always admired Sohan Yi deeply.

Thus, Solong decided to marry Yang Hongyi to Sohan Yi.

In his view, and in the view of the entire Tianshui City, they were a perfect match.

Yang Hongyi was tall and athletic, with a beautiful appearance and high martial arts skills. Although she was not as strong as Sohan Yi, she was already a high-ranking warrior.

In the entire Anger Wave Kingdom, it was rare for a woman to become a high-ranking warrior.

"Do not be afraid. I see these rebels as mere chickens and dogs. Today's battle will be the day I, Sohan Yi, become famous throughout the world." Sohan Yi held his wife's hand. Although he loved Soling Bing, he also treated his wife like family, as they had truly grown up together.

Yang Hongyi, dressed in armor, looked at her husband with eyes full of trust and admiration.

"I wonder how Solon is doing. Today should be his final exam," Yang Hongyi said.

Sohan Yi frowned and coldly replied, "Do you still have hope for that wastrel? The only person the So family can rely on is me!"

Yang Hongyi frowned slightly but did not argue with her husband.

"Sir, should I lead the cavalry to charge?" a fierce old general asked.

His name was Yan Nu, once the first warrior of Tianshui City, a second-rank dragon warrior, and the martial arts teacher of Sohan Yi, Yang Hongyi, and others. He was now the commander of the cavalry of the Tianshui City Guard.

"Not yet, Master," Sohan Yi said with a cold smile. "Our cavalry will be the final killer, tearing the rebels to shreds!"

"Thud, thud, thud..."

The rebels were getting closer and closer.

Five miles, three miles, two miles, one mile.

At this point, the defending troops on the city wall began to show some unrest, their eyes filled with tension as they looked down at the dense mass of rebels.

Seeing this, Sohan Yi waved his hand sharply.

Instantly, all the unrest ceased.

He had led this army for eight years. His orders were like mountains, his rewards and punishments were clear, he led by example, and he treated his soldiers like his own children.

Under his command, this ten-thousand-strong army had become a formidable ironclad force.

And he, Sohan Yi, was the sole soul of this army. The soldiers did not know who Solon was, and they were even beginning to forget Solong's name. They only knew one person, and they only recognized one silhouette: their invincible commander, Sohan Yi!

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters!

The rebels stopped, began to form ranks, and the archers prepared for the first wave of attacks.

Sohan Yi shouted loudly, "Soldiers, who is the pillar of Tianshui City?"

"Us!" the soldiers roared in unison.

"Soldiers, whose city is Tianshui?" Sohan Yi asked loudly.

"Ours." the soldiers roared.

"Do you fear these thirty thousand rabble?" Sohan Yi shouted hoarsely.

"Not afraid!"

"Do you fear them?"

"Not afraid!"

Sohan Yi roared, "Kill them all, kill them all, kill them all!"

"Today, no one can stop our glory. Today, we will become famous throughout the world!"

"Archers, prepare!"

Sohan Yi suddenly drew his massive sword and pointed it at the sky.

"Swish!" Instantly, three thousand archers drew their bows and nocked their arrows, acting as one.

"Fire!" Sohan Yi's massive sword slashed down.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

A black rain of arrows poured down from the city wall onto the rebels.

...

In the capital's academy, the archery range, the second half of the exam had already begun.

The second half of the exam was not conducted simultaneously for all three levels but in sequence.

The first level had nine candidates, the second level had six candidates, and the third level had only one candidate, Solon.

The first level candidates began with the moving target shooting exam.

Nine candidates drew their bows and aimed at the sky.

"Beep!" A whistle sounded.

Instantly, fifty meters away, nine circular clay discs flew into the sky, each spaced thirty meters apart.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The nine students shot their arrows. There was no time to aim, so they relied entirely on instinct.

"Crash, crash, crash..." Five clay discs shattered in the air.

Of the nine arrows shot by the candidates, five hit their targets, a hit rate of just over fifty percent.

The first arrows of the nine candidates were complete, and they rested for a minute.

"Beep!" The whistle sounded again.

Fifty meters away, another nine clay discs flew into the sky, in the same direction and at the same speed as before.

This time, five of the nine students hit their targets.

"Beep!"

"Beep!"

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded continuously, a total of ten times.

After fifteen minutes, the moving target shooting exam for the first level was over.

Each candidate had ten arrows, and they needed to hit at least five to pass.

Eight of the nine students passed the final exam, while one student failed, hitting only two out of ten arrows.

This girl was the one who had led Solon into the shooting range and was the first to rush to kiss him after he created a miracle.

At this moment, her heart was filled with emotion, and her mind was entirely on Solon. She had no interest in shooting.

Moreover, failing the exam was not a big deal; it just meant she would graduate a year later and get married a year later. Besides, she no longer wanted to get married.

...

Half an hour later, the second half of the second level exam began.

Six students chose the second level, using a 250-pound bow to hit a fleeing roe deer at a distance of one hundred meters.

Solon also focused all his attention, waiting for the whistle to start.

Although it was not yet his turn to shoot, he had never tried to lock onto a moving target using his mental power without seeing it, which was crucial for his success in the second half of the exam.

He took a deep breath, completely focused, and used the mental projection technique to release his mental energy to perceive everything around him.

Instantly, all the life energy bodies around him were perceived by his mental energy.

Mental energy is usually released through the eyes, but that is an illusion. In reality, it is released through the brain, especially the forehead.

However, for beginners in mental projection, using the eyes to release mental energy is more focused and visually intuitive.

Once the mental projection technique is mastered, the eyes are no longer needed. Therefore, even while sleeping, Ye Jingyu's mental energy can perceive everything around her, and she will immediately be alerted if an enemy appears.

Solon's mental projection range was three hundred meters, so all life forms within a hundred meters were within his perception.

Each person appeared as a faint shadow, each with a different color.

Then, he focused all his attention, waiting for the whistle to sound and the appearance of the second level moving target, the black roe deer.

Whether he could completely lock onto the target with his mental energy and aim accurately was the key to his ultimate victory.
