"Before Origin Energy Tier 6, one's tendons, bones, skin, flesh, and internal organs are all trained. However, upon reaching Origin Energy Tier 6, one will be able to cultivate strength, speed, and dexterity cultivation techniques. The different types of cultivation techniques will determine whether you will be an infantryman, cavalry, or archer on the battlefield.
"There are all kinds of cultivation techniques in the training camp. You can learn them for free. However, of the strength, speed, and dexterity cultivation techniques, you can choose any one or two of them. I don't recommend you to learn all three at the same time.
"Don't bite off more than you can chew. Of course, there are some who learn all three at the same time. However, for most people, the more cultivation techniques they learn, the slower their progress will be. "
"Follow me. Below us is the cultivation zone! "
Zhao Qianqiu beckoned and led the group across the vast cultivation zone. After the cultivation zone was the cultivation zone.
"So this is what we saw at the foot of the mountain."
Zhao Jingdian said.
"Un."
Wang Chong nodded. Lifting his gaze, he looked at the massive flag that was nearly a hundred zhang long. The massive 'Kunwu' word on the flag was extremely eye-catching.
This huge flag tent was the training area. The massive palaces were the cultivation rooms.
"Follow me!"
With Zhao Qianqiu leading the way, the group followed behind him and stepped into the center of the palaces.
Walking in, Wang Chong realized that the palaces were made of metal. The ground was abnormally smooth, reminiscent of a mirror.
There were many inscriptions on the ground.
Wang Chong realized that even though it was only the first day, many of the students who had passed the examination were already seated on the ground and cultivating.
"The ground here is made of metal, and there are Qi-Gathering Inscriptions on it. Every single spot is a small Qi-Gathering Formation. From now on, you will be able to cultivate here every day. Cultivating here will be much faster than cultivating in other places. "
Zhao Qianqiu led the group through the cultivation rooms.
"Beyond the cultivation rooms is the cultivation technique zone."
In the depths of the training area, more than a dozen fully-armed Imperial Army soldiers stood in a row, separating the training area from the rear. They guarded the front of a palace.
"The cultivation techniques in the cultivation zone are categorized according to their cultivation realm. Origin Energy Tier 6 martial arts were divided into different regions, Origin Energy Tier 7 martial arts were divided into another region, Origin Energy Tier 8 martial arts were divided into another region … In the future, all you have to do is to choose the cultivation techniques according to your cultivation realm.
"The cultivation techniques here are reserved for the elites of the army, and it's difficult for you to learn them outside. However, as my students, you are different from others. You'll understand this in the future. "
Other than Wang Chong, who already knew, everyone else was confused.
But Zhao Qianqiu didn't say anything.
After which, Zhao Qianqiu brought everyone around to familiarize themselves with the area, and this was the end of the lecture.
"… Some of you might already know this, but there are some who are still not. But I will say it one more time. "
Beneath a massive and lush scholar tree at the peak of the mountain, Zhao Qianqiu began his final lecture.
"Origin Energy Tier 1, 1, and you will, and speed, and cultivation techniques, and you can. "Only upon reaching Origin Energy Tier 6 will you be able to release your inner Qi, forming a ring of Stellar Energy around your body."
"Only upon reaching Origin Energy Tier 9 will you be able to release your inner Qi and form a ring of Stellar Energy around your body, just like this."
Zhao Qianqiu's feet jolted, and weng, a milky-white ring of Origin Energy burst forth from beneath his feet. This ring of Stellar Energy didn't seem to be anything special, but regardless of whether it was Wang Chong, Zhao Jingdian, or the others, a grim expression appeared on their faces.
From this ring of Stellar Energy, everyone could sense an incredible strength, something that Zhao Qianqiu had never displayed before.
Clearly, Zhao Qianqiu hadn't exerted his full strength.
"By releasing one's inner Qi outside one's body, one's Origin Energy will be able to take on many forms, just like this!"
Zhao Qianqiu grabbed downward, and the milky-white ring of Stellar Energy beneath his feet rippled. A powerful surge of Origin Energy burst forth from it, and it condensed in Zhao Qianqiu's palm into the shape of a lion.
Under Zhao Qianqiu's control, the Stellar Energy began to morph into the form of a tiger, leopard, and wolf!
"Controlling one's Origin Energy freely isn't something that can be matched up with mere fists, kicks, or weapons. Thus, you must be wary of Origin Energy Tier 9 experts in the future. Such experts are extremely formidable, and you won't be able to deal with them easily. "
As Zhao Qianqiu spoke, he raised his palm, and the lion flew forward. Boom! Several hundred meters away, earth and stone flew violently, and dust filled the air, covering the sky and covering the earth.
Everyone couldn't help but shudder in fear.
"Beyond Origin Energy Tier 9, you will be able to break through the bottleneck and reach the True Martial realm. Origin Energy will gather outside your body and form a halo. However, that's a matter for the future."
After explaining all of this, Zhao Qianqiu left.
"Wang Chong, is this Wang gongzi?"
Almost at the same instant that Zhao Qianqiu left, several figures walked up to Wang Chong and bowed deeply before Wang Chong.
"I am Zhuang Zhengping!"
"I am Chi Weisi!"
"Paying respects to gongzi!"
…
These two were none other than the other two examinees who had passed the examination just like Wang Chong and Zhao Jingdian and joined Zhao Qianqiu.
From the bottom of the mountain to the top, the two of them had remained silent. It was only after Zhao Qianqiu had left that they took the initiative to pay a visit.
"Are you from the Zhuang Clan and Chi Clan?"
Wang Chong stared at the duo.
"That's right!"
The two of them bowed very politely.
Wang Chong didn't say a word, only assessing the duo. The Zhuang Clan and Chi Clan were two of the largest clans in the capital, and their strength far surpassed that of ordinary clans.
These two clans were extremely influential, and their business spanned across the empire. They wielded considerable influence in the military as well. The Zhuang Clan had more than a hundred years of history, and they had members all over the military, holding various positions. They wielded considerable influence in the military.
The members of the Zhuang Clan were known for their bravery, and the Zhuang Clan's steel cavalry was extremely famous in the empire as well.
As for the Chi Clan, its reputation was slightly beneath that of the Zhuang Clan. However, there were many experts in the clan. The experts of the Chi Clan were known for their valiant prowess on the battlefield, and the shadows of their experts could be seen on the frontlines.
The most unique aspect of the Chi Clan was their Steel Guards.
Whenever a member of the Chi Clan stepped onto the battlefield, there would be quite a number of Chi Clan Steel Guards by his side. These Chi Clan Steel Guards were dressed in Xuan metal armor that weighed three to four hundred jin, and they wielded massive axes that were taller than a grown man. Most of the time, they would be able to tear an opening in the enemy's defenses easily.
Even though these two clans couldn't compare to the Wang Clan, which was a clan of generals and ministers, they were still top-notch clans in the capital.
The fact that these two were able to pass through Zhao Qianqiu's assault showed how powerful they were.
"Given the strength of the Zhuang Clan and Chi Clan, shouldn't they be in the Longwei and Shenwei Camps?"
Wang Chong asked with narrowed eyes.
"To tell you the truth, we heard that gongzi is in the Kunwu Training Camp, so we came here. Our Zhuang Clan and Chi Clan have always been impressed by gongzi's righteousness. We hope that we can get closer to gongzi in the future. "
Zhuang Zhengping and Chi Weisi replied respectfully.
Given their strength, they weren't too far off from the current Wang Chong and Zhao Jingdian. What they were truly fearful of was the massive power standing behind Wang Chong.
The Wang Clan was a clan of ministers and generals, and Duke Jiu was a meritorious subject who had won the favor and trust of the Holy Emperor. Other than the Wang Clan itself, there was also the King of Song, the officials of the royal court, the Protector-Generals and Protector-Generals of the borders, and many other Conferred Generals and Generals …
It could be said that the storm not too long ago had allowed many people to see the influence of the Wang Clan. This kind of influence spread far and wide, from within the imperial court to outside, and then to the military world …
Even behemoths like the Zhuang Clan and Wei Clan were deeply fearful of the Wang Clan. From this incident, one could foresee that even if Duke Jiu were to pass away, the Wang Clan's fortune and influence in the royal court would continue for a very long time.
This was also the reason why clans like the Zhuang Clan and Wei Clan chose to send their offspring to the Kunwu Training Camp instead of Shenwei and Longwei.
Wang Chong was a member of the Holy Emperor's faction, and he was a true 'upstart' in the political world. What was even more difficult was that he was only fifteen, and the influence around him hadn't been fully formed yet.
If they were to step in at this moment and establish a relationship with him, it would be immensely beneficial to the future of their clan. More than half of the aristocratic families that had come here had the same idea.
The words of the duo were actually a taboo, indicating that their clans hoped to get closer to the Wang Clan.
"You're being too polite!"
Wang Chong chuckled, not minding their words at all.
"Since we've entered the Kunwu Training Camp under Instructor Zhao's name, we'll be classmates from now on. It's only right for us to interact more. "
The duo was delighted. Without a doubt, Wang Chong's words meant that he had accepted them.
"Wang gongzi, this is a token of our appreciation. We hope that gongzi will accept it! "
The duo took out a crimson silk box from their sleeves, bowed deeply, and passed it to Wang Chong. At this moment, they weren't just representing themselves anymore. They were representing their respective clans.
Wang Chong was silent for a moment, but he didn't reject them. He took the box from them.
"Gongzi, we won't disturb you anymore. If gongzi has any needs, feel free to instruct us. "
The duo bade farewell and left.
"Gongzi, the prestigious clans prioritize their own interests. Zhuang Zhengping and Chi Weisi are only third-generation disciples, so you can't trust them too much."
Gazing in the direction where the duo left, Zhao Jingdian suddenly spoke.
"I know."
Wang Chong replied calmly. It was doubtful whether the promises of the prestigious clans could be trusted. Not to mention, the two clans had sent out Zhuang Zhengping and Chi Weisi, who didn't carry much weight in the clan.
However, Wang Chong had his own considerations as well.
The cavalry of the Zhuang Clan and the infantry of the Chi Clan were valiant soldiers. In the future war, a just cause would gain plenty of support while an unjust one would find little. Only by gathering the strength of the prestigious clans and nobles, as well as all the forces that could be united, would they be able to change the fate of the Central Plains.
