Jack chuckled knowingly and said, "Colonel Lineker, you'd better reconsider. Pick someone else."

"Why's that?" Bill asked, clearly puzzled. +8 Pearls

"Well..." Jack frowned, carefully choosing his words. "General Whalen might not seem intimidating at first glance, but back in the day, he was the toughest fighter among the 12 of us. When he fought, he was unstoppable.

"Let me tell you something. About 23 years ago, during the battle at the southeastern border, General Whalen held off over a hundred enemies by himself, armed only with a combat knife. By the end, they were begging for mercy. "Want to know how it ended?"

Bill raised an eyebrow, curious. "Did he spare them?"

Jack's smirk was cold as he responded, "He killed every single one of them.

"The men he took on were some of the best, and he wiped them all out single-handedly."

Bill laughed dismissively. To him, it sounded like a far-fetched story, a tale meant to impress but lacking real weight.

Jack shook his head. "Let me put it this way: Even if all 11 of us teamed up, we wouldn't stand a chance against him. "Do you really think you could survive one of his blows

"So, my advice is to pick someone a bit easier to deal with-like me."

Bill gave Jack a once-over, taking in his muscular build before smirking. "Ha! You think I'm buying that?

"General Grayson, you're telling me you're the weakest out of all of us, with your size and strength?

"I know what you're trying to do, but I trust my instincts. I'm sticking with General Whalen.

"Besides, Commander-in-Chief Ramsey said that if I defeat one of you, I can skip the rest of the tests.

"I've been dreaming of competing in the international military competition, and this is my shot. I'm not letting it slip away."

Jack sighed and shook his head, grinning. "Alright, have it your way. Just don't come crying to us old guys when you regret this later."noveldrama

Bill stood firm, unwavering. "I won't regret it!"

Flint laughed, clapping Bill on the back. "That's the spirit, kid!

"Colonel Lineker, I'm rooting for you!

"Back in this very arena, Franco used to chase me around like a dog.

"Understood!" Bill's confidence soared as he heard Flints encouragement, though he completely missed the part about him being chased by Franco.

As Bill confidently walked to the arena, the other officers chuckled lightly, amused by his enthusiasm.

Bill climbed onto the platform, and Franco pointed to the crowd below. "Gavin, you're up too.

"All of you from the top three in the training base rankings, get up here!"

Bill hesitated for a moment. "General Whalen, I can handle this on my own. Why are you calling others?"

"You're too cocky!" Gavin snapped, stepping onto the platform.

At that moment, Gavin was eager to shove Bill off the stage. "You'll learn how foolish you are. I just hope you don't beg for mercy later."

Most of the officers knew what was coming. Franco was obsessed with fighting. Once a battle started, he wouldn't stop until his opponent begged him to.

Bill had just called Franco the weakest of the Twelve Great Warriors, and now it was clear that Franco would make an example out of him.

Back in the day, Gavin had trained with Franco, and he knew the man's relentless intensity.

Despite his lean frame, Franto was notorious for punishing his opponents until they begged for mercy.

And now, Bill-this fool-had chosen to face Franco.

It was nothing short of a death wish.

At this point, Gavin didn't care anymore.

He knew that even four of them combined couldn't defeat Franco.

But being beaten by one of Dragon Soul's fiercest warriors would be an honor.

Bill, Talia, and George, the top three from the training base, stood on the platform.

Gavin, the assistant chief instructor, joined their ranks, and the four of them stood before Franco.

Franco glanced at the clock. "Let's set a time limit-no more than 30 seconds. I don't want to lose control." Gavin was about to agree when Bill stepped forward. "General Whalen, 30 seconds isn't enough!" Gavin nearly lost his temper.

Franco had set the time limit to avoid overexerting himself and hurting Bill too much.

He would rather stop before he completely lose himself in the zone during battle.

Yet Bill was complaining about it being too short.

That was asking for trouble.

Rill continued. "You've been through a lot in these past years General Whalen and the intensity of the

fight might drain your stamina. But 30 seconds still is enough.

"Don't worry, though. If you can't keep up, I'll stop before it's too late."

Gavin wanted to say something, but Bill ignored him completely,

Franco, observing Bill's bold attitude, chuckled. "Alright, fine. One minute, then,"

Bill snapped to attention. "General Whalen, this fight is crucial.

"Maybe you're not at your peak right now, but this is about the international military competition in seven days.

"Since Commander-in-Chief Ramsey asked you generals to help us reach the finish line, I expect you to give it your all. One minute won't be enough." Franco frowned. "How much time do you think we need?"

Without hesitation, Bill replied, "General Whalen, I think at least ten minutes for this showdown."

Gavin nearly collapsed in disbelief.

Ten minutes?

If Franco decided to go all out for ten minutes, Bill would probably never forget it.

Meanwhile, George and Talia stood tall, eager for the challenge.

To face off against a legend like Franco was an honor.

What's more, it was an opportunity to prove themselves by taking down their idol.

They were excited just thinking about it.

The Senior Generals and the 11 Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, watching from the stands, were initially stunned by Bill's audacity, but then they all burst into laughter.

Flint nodded approvingly. "Well, he's young and reckless, all right! This is the kind of courage our successors need."

Franco, watching Bill's fiery determination, nodded. "Ten minutes is too long. Let's make it five."

Bill remained firm. "General Whalen, if you can't last ten minutes, how will you ensure we're ready for the final competition in seven days?"

Gavin snapped, "Bill, what are you doing?"

Bill stood resolute. "I'm taking responsibility for the success of this five-day intensive training!"

Franco's voice grew cold. "Colonel Lineker, if you insist on this, don't regret it."

"I won't regret it!" Bill answered, his voice joined by Talia and George in unity.

Franco smiled coldly. "Remember, if we don't fight for ten minutes, none of you leave the ring. Even if you

die here you'll keen fighting!"
