Not only did Cheng Hao fail to intimidate them, but he also used this opportunity to establish his authority. When these arrogant soldiers looked at Cheng Hao again, they did not dare to raise their eyes.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go and rest first. By the way, has my residence been arranged?"
"Young Marquis, don't worry. Everything has been arranged. Wang Li, take the Marquis to rest!" Yan Zhen turned his head to look at the deputy beside him and hurriedly ordered.
After Cheng Hao and Hong Yi left, in the main hall of the Pacification Navy.
"Everyone, do you have anything to say about this Deputy Commander Cheng Hao?" Yan Zhen sat in the commander's seat and tapped the black iron table with his finger, making a dull thumping sound that was like the beating of a human heart.
"Commander, it seems that our intelligence was wrong. In the letter, Prince Yu only said that the Young Marquis's martial arts were extraordinary, but he did not say that he was a Martial Sage. If we had known this earlier, we would not have intimidated him. Now that our relationship is a little stiff, we are embarrassed!"
"Yes, this Cheng Hao also has some achievements. In the capital, it has always been said that he was just under the shadow of his father. He is neither good in literature nor martial arts, and has always kept a low profile. I didn't expect him to have such a terrifying strength quietly. To be honest, it is a waste of talent for such a strong person to come to our Pacification Navy."
"I think the Commander doesn't have to worry about anything. Cheng Hao has already made it clear that he came here to gain some military merits and cultivate without being disturbed. This person has such a cultivation at such a young age, he should be a martial arts fanatic. This kind of person is not difficult to get along with as long as you don't offend him."
The generals expressed their opinions one after another, but most of their opinions were the same. They did not want to be enemies with Cheng Hao. They did not care about his status as a Marquis, but his cultivation as a Martial Sage had already made them tremble with fear.
They were all people who had been on the battlefield for a long time. They all knew that the Marquis Ding was not a good person. When he attacked just now, he had a murderous intent. If they did not have eyes and acted recklessly, they would die!
"I understand everyone's concerns. Don't worry, I don't mean to make things difficult for him. For a martial arts maniac like him, there's no need for you to have any misgivings. Military affairs should be reported to him. If he wants to manage military affairs, then let him manage it. If he doesn't want to manage it, then don't force him. In short, this person is extremely important to Prince Yu.
Yan Zhen waved his hand, indicating for everyone to be at ease. Then, he changed the topic and talked about Hong Yi.
"This Hong Yi is the top scorer in this spring's Imperial Examinations. Now, he is a trusted aide of Prince Yu. It seems that his relationship with Cheng Hao is not ordinary. Don't make things difficult for him!" Yan Zhen rubbed his forehead. These two people suddenly appeared in the army, especially one of them who was abnormally strong. Even he felt a headache.
"But the rules of the army still have to be followed. Later, you will arrange for Hong Yi to go to the military's Martial Arts Hall to test his strength. Arrange his position according to his strength. Everything will be according to the military rules. I think that Deputy Commander Cheng will not be able to say anything."
.....
In the deputy commander's meeting room, Cheng Hao and Hong Yi sat on the chairs on both sides, leisurely drinking tea served by their subordinates.
"Cheng Hao, actually, we are new here. There is no need to offend these local tyrants." Hong Yi felt that Cheng Hao's earlier display of strength was unnecessary.
"You don't understand. If it was just you, Hong Yi, they would naturally not make things difficult for you. Firstly, you are only a High Scholar. Secondly, your strength is not yet at the Xiantian Master level. You do not pose much of a threat to their positions. Furthermore, with your relationship with Prince Yu, they would naturally not make things difficult for you."
"But I'm different. I'm a marquis, and I've even taken the position of deputy commander as soon as I took office. In the eyes of those generals, my arrival has blocked their promotion, and I've even become a threat to Great Commander Yan Zhen's position. If I don't use this opportunity to establish my might, there will be endless troubles in the army in the future."
Cheng Hao put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the gold medal, arrow, commander's seal, tiger talisman, cinnabar pen and other items on the large metal table in front of him. He smiled indifferently.
"I do not care about the authority in the army camp. I am also not afraid of trouble. However, I do not want these troubles to affect my cultivation. It is best to settle this once and for all."
Hong Yi thought for a moment and then nodded his head. "You are right. Sometimes, displaying one's strength appropriately can indeed save a lot of trouble. These years, I am used to being careful in the Wen Wu Marquis Household. I am too cautious and I lack some domineering aura."
"Haha, domineering aura and confidence increase with one's strength. When you have my strength in the future, I am afraid that you will be even more domineering than me."
.....
The two of them chatted for a while. Hong Yi was called to the Martial Arts Hall by the soldiers in the army. Cheng Hao, who had nothing to do, took off his armor and went to the courtyard of his residence to begin his daily cultivation.
Now that he had obtained the Dragon and Elephant Seal from Little Jinzhu and cultivated together with the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Technique, the speed of his marrow refining had increased a lot. Cheng Hao felt that if he persevered for another year and a half, he would be able to reach the realm of Blood Changing Martial Saint.
"Now that my Qi and Blood has reached the level of mercurial Qi and Blood, if I change my blood again and produce new blood in my body, I don't know how strong my Qi and Blood will be. I am afraid that even if I don't use the Undying Emperor's Fist, I should have the strength to fight with an expert at the early stage of the Human Immortal Realm."
Thinking that the Qi and Blood in his body would undergo another qualitative change and his strength could be greatly improved, Cheng Hao was even more motivated to cultivate. Fist shadows and seals were thrown out by him. From time to time, the violent friction between the air and the fist could be heard in the courtyard. If one looked carefully, one could see the shadow of a dragon and elephant in the air from time to time. Its power was astonishing and its Qi and Blood were everywhere. People with weak strength could not even get close to the deputy commander's camp.
Now Cheng Hao was very clear about his position. In this world called Sun God, he only knew the tip of the iceberg. The strongest people he had seen were the Demon Immortals and Martial Saints like Concubine Yuan and Bai Ziyue. He had not seen the more powerful Ghost Immortals and Human Immortals in Thunder Tribulation.
But not seeing them did not mean that they did not exist. Although he was not weak now, he had no power to fight back against Ghost Immortals in Thunder Tribulation and Peak Human Immortals. Before his strength was enough to suppress the world, he had to behave and focus on improving his strength.
