After saying those words, Marchioness Yi left.
Only Wang Chong was left in deep thought.
"Young master, who is that Zhou Zhang?"
Zhao Jingdian asked. He couldn't understand what Zhou Zhang was talking about. He only felt that Zhou Zhang was formidable, but he couldn't understand why.
"Zhou Zhang is the head of the capital's Nine Gongzi, of the same generation as my second brother. He crossed blows with my second brother before, and they ended in a draw. "
Wang Chong said.
"Ah!"
Zhao Jingdian couldn't help but exclaim. Even though he didn't know who Zhou Zhang was, Wang Chong's second brother, Wang Bei, did.
In the Wang Clan, Wang Bei was once viewed as one of the most likely candidates to inherit Duke Jiu's legacy. Be it in terms of talent or martial arts, Wang Chong's second brother was an outstanding candidate.
In the capital, Wang Bei's name resounded like thunder. Even the Yao Clan's gongzi, Yao Feng, was taught a lesson by him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have vented his anger on Wang Chong, sending a hoodlum, Ma Zhou, to frame him.
Wang Bei was an existence who could do whatever he wanted in the capital, and it was publicly acknowledged that he had a bright future ahead of him.
Regardless of whether it was the scions of nobles, nobles, or prestigious clans, no one dared to provoke him. … If he didn't suffer from the Berserker Syndrome!
Wang Chong lowered his head silently.
He knew far more about Zhou Zhang than what he had told Zhao Jingdian. Zhou Zhang might look honest, but he was actually a vicious person.
Furthermore, he possessed incredible talent and strength.
Second Sister Wang Zhu Yan and Marchioness Yi were already extremely powerful in the capital. But compared to Zhou Zhang, they were still lacking.
They weren't on the same level.
Not only so, even though Zhou Zhang didn't seem to have any background, there were rumors that he had been adopted by King Qi. Zhou Zhang had never admitted to this matter, but he didn't deny it either.
However, there was no doubt that Zhou Zhang could enter the King Qi Residence freely.
On top of that, King Qi treated him exceptionally well. At the very least, Zhou Zhang's martial arts were imparted to him by King Qi.
If not for that, given Marchioness Yi's background, she wouldn't have been so fearful of him.
— — Someone who was on par with his second brother, Wang Bei, was definitely no ordinary person.
"By the way, Young Master. Where did that girl come from? Marquis Yi? How old was she to be conferred the title of Marquis? Does our Tang dynasty have such a young Marquis? And it's a woman? "
Zhao Jingdian rubbed his chest where Marchioness Yi had injured him.
"Haha, Jingdian, you weren't in the capital before, so you don't know. This is Little Marchioness Yi, the daughter of Marchioness Yi. Among the nobles, Marchioness Yi was the only female marquis, and she was the only one whose title could be inherited. Back then, Great Ancestor Gao had decreed that as long as the Tang dynasty existed, Marchioness Yi's position would be passed down from generation to generation. He also passed down the Alchemy Book Iron Voucher as proof. "
"Thus, even though she's Little Marchioness Yi, everyone still calls her Marchioness Yi. Because her position was almost set in stone. From the moment she was born, she was destined. "
Wang Chong smiled.
In the Tang dynasty, the hereditary titles were basically all at the level of a duke. Furthermore, they were the descendants of those who followed Great Ancestor Gao to establish the Tang dynasty.
Nobles were not qualified to be hereditary.
In the Tang dynasty, Marchioness Yi was the only one who could inherit the title of Marquis.
"I see."
Zhao Jingdian nodded in realization.
Wang Chong smiled and didn't say anything else. Wang Chong didn't expect Marchioness Yi to appear in the Kunwu Training Camp. At the very least, it didn't happen in his previous life.
In this life, many things had begun to change. But no matter what, Marchioness Yi joining the Kunwu Training Camp was definitely beneficial to him.
Furthermore, Marchioness Yi's appearance also reminded Wang Chong of something.
The establishment of the Three Great Training Camps was a major event in the history of the Tang dynasty. He wasn't the only one who was interested in it. Experts of Marchioness Yi's caliber were also interested in it.
"Let's go! We'll head up the mountain to take a look. There's a limit to the number of people in the Three Great Training Camps. If we go too late, we might really be eliminated. "
Wang Chong beckoned Zhao Jingdian over, and the two of them headed up the mountain.
The Kunwu Training Camp was astonishingly huge. Based on the surface area of the mountain, it probably covered more than a hundred square meters. The entire mountain was filled with tents and people.
The first day was the most bustling.
"Let's go. Let's clear the first test first."
Wang Chong said.
There were many Imperial Army soldiers stationed on the mountain, and there were many primary selection tests set up in the areas guarded by the Imperial Army. To enter the Kunwu Training Camp, there was a basic requirement for one's cultivation and strength.
This was known as the basic requirement.
If one couldn't even meet the basic requirements, there was no need for him to participate in the subsequent tests.
The primary selection test was divided into three parts.
The first part was to test one's strength. One had to lift a huge boulder. Those who couldn't lift it would be filtered out.
The second part was to test one's fists. In order to pass this test, one had to know a set of fist arts. This was the most basic requirement.
The third part was slightly more profound, and it was a requirement for a fighter to deal with it.
"I just have to withstand three punches?"
Amidst the crowd, Wang Chong easily passed the first two tests and stood before the last examiner.
"Yes! As long as you can dodge three punches from me! You will be able to pass this test. "
The man who spoke was in his twenties. His face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to be an Imperial Army soldier. Instead, he seemed to be someone hired by the royal court to be in charge of this test.
"I understand."
Wang Chong smiled. This test was to test one's agility.
"I'm ready!"
The moment the man spoke, he suddenly punched out. Boom! Raging winds howled. At the instant the man punched out, a metal fist appeared before him. It was just a hair's breadth away from his face.
The surroundings were silent. Everyone stared at Wang Chong, dumbfounded. On the other hand, the man's face was pale, and his expression was incredibly awful.
"Please go ahead. You have passed the primary selection test. There are no more questions. Please proceed up the mountain. "
With a reddened face, the man bowed and obediently retreated to the side.
"Thank you for going easy on me!"
Wang Chong flung his robe, and with a smile, he walked out of the crowd.
If it was in the past, it would have been difficult for him to clear a test of this level. At the very least, he would have had to spend some time on it. However, that was then, and this was now. After several months of hard work, this primary selection test was no longer difficult for him.
Even though Wang Chong hadn't cultivated any speed-type or agility-type cultivation technique, his Serpentine Dragon root bone granted him speed, endurance, reflexes, and agility far surpassing that of an ordinary human.
With just the speed of his movements, he could easily clear a test of this level.
Turning around, Zhang Xuan saw that Zhao Jingdian was still queuing up for the test. Wang Chong glanced at him, and without any hesitation, he headed up the mountain.
Now that he had cleared the primary selection test, the next step was the most important one.
The selection of instructors!
There was a limit to the number of people who could enter the Kunwu Training Camp. At the peak of the mountain, the instructors stationed by the royal court held the 'life and death' of everyone.
Every instructor could only take in a certain number of students, and once they reached their quota, they wouldn't accept any more. By the time all of the instructors were filled, the recruitment for this batch of Kunwu Training Camp would be over.
There was a certain technique to joining the Kunwu Training Camp. Most people would simply pick an instructor and head up the mountain. Little did they know that the selection of instructors was the most important part of the Kunwu Training Camp, as well as the most crucial part.
Different instructors had different styles. Some specialized in charging through enemy lines, some specialized in killing on the battlefield, some specialized in one-on-one combat, and some specialized in cavalry charging …
Many people didn't know that the instructors of the Three Great Training Camps were elites handpicked from the various battlefields, and they possessed rich combat experience.
It was only many years later when certain things were revealed that the students of the Three Great Training Camps finally understood the significance of these instructors.
Choosing the right examiner would be as beneficial to one's future as a top-notch cultivation technique.
This was also the reason why Wang Chong asked Wei Hao to look for the fat instructor. Wei Hao's Mountain Ascension Force, coupled with the fat instructor's extremely ferocious charging through enemy lines, would be able to unleash the greatest power.
Wang Chong was also looking for an instructor that was suitable for him.
"The Kunwu Training Camp is already different from what I remember. I wonder if that instructor is still around!"
Wang Chong thought to himself.
There was actually a knack for choosing an instructor. There were all kinds of instructors in the Three Great Training Camps. However, the instructor Wang Chong was looking for was a very special one.
He didn't teach charging through enemy lines, nor did he teach invincibility of cavalry, nor did he teach physical combat … This instructor taught the highest level of 'Art of Commanding'.
In other words, this instructor was the hidden 'hero' among all the instructors.
Other than Wang Chong, there was probably no one on the mountain who knew of this.
In Wang Chong's impression, this instructor was rather low-key. Moreover, he would only teach for three years. After three years, there would no longer be anyone teaching this type of art in the Kunwu Training Camp.
When that instructor's identity was exposed, many people in the Kunwu Training Camp regretted it bitterly.
However, despite keeping a low profile, it was not easy to join this instructor's team.
Among all the instructors, this instructor had the highest requirements when it came to recruiting students. Many students who passed the test of other instructors were rejected by him. This was also considered a hidden requirement.
However, the reason why Wang Chong wanted to join his team was not because of the Art of Commanding. It was because among all the instructors in the Kunwu Training Camp, this instructor had the highest authority.
In the Three Great Training Camps, there were a few lost skills that could only be learned through him. Not only that, the Three Great Training Camps had strict rules.
Once you joined the camp, you had to attend all the training, morning exercises, and homework. This was the same for all the instructors.
For others, this rule might not mean much. However, Wang Chong was different. The difference was that neither the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art nor the Art of God and Demon Obliteration could be taught here.
Wang Chong's level had long surpassed this level.
Wang Chong didn't want to be restricted too much.
Among all the instructors, only that instructor was the most lax. As long as one could pass his test, there was no need to attend morning exercises, training, or daily homework. There were no restrictions at all.
