Time passed, and unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened.
"Bastard!"
"Bastard, how dare you steal my man!"
In a room on Black Tortoise Peak, Deng Mingxin's face was flushed red, and his expression contorted. With a ferocious punch, he shattered the table in the room.
Deng Mingxin had finally cleared the competition and entered the Kunwu Training Camp.
However, without Sun Zhiming's help, Deng Mingxin had no choice but to replace him with a loyal lackey. That lackey was eliminated from the mountain on the spot.
Deng Mingxin had two arms, and now that he only had one left, how could he not be filled with hatred?
"Gongzi, that Wang Chong interfered and poached Sun Zhiming over. Should we report this to Zheng gongzi? Should we get Zheng gongzi to stand up for us and deal with Wang Chong? "
The only remaining lackey said from the side. He was also in a bad mood.
"There's no need for that!"
Deng Mingxin was tempted, but he quickly shook his head.
"We've only just gotten in touch with Zheng gongzi not too long ago, and Sun Zhiming is a subordinate of our clan. If we can't even deal with a mere subordinate, wouldn't Zheng gongzi look down on us?"
The person whom Deng Mingxin had sought refuge with was called Zheng Xuan. He was also a subordinate of King Qi, but his clan was much more powerful than Deng Mingxin's.
It was through him that Deng Mingxin managed to get in touch with King Qi. Otherwise, how could he possibly have the capability to do so?
Zheng Xuan was a meticulous person, skilled in martial arts, and someone who had a reputation with King Qi. He was no ordinary figure. Deng Mingxin didn't want Zheng Xuan to look down on him.
"But what else can we do? Are we supposed to swallow this humiliation just like that? With so many people watching, Wang Chong stole our people in front of everyone. Young Master can endure this sort of humiliation, but I can't! "
The lackey said, trying his best to encourage him.
"Hmph, of course not."
Deng Mingxin harrumphed coldly. His gaze gradually turned cold.
"I might not be able to deal with Wang Chong and the Wang Clan, but do you think I can't deal with a mere Sun Zhiming? Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. Sun Zhiming is a shrimps. If he dares to betray me, then don't blame me. I want him and the entire Sun family to pay the price. "
Deng Mingxin's eyes were filled with hatred as he quickly wrote a letter and followed a Night Kite back to the capital.
"Sun Zhiming, since you dare to betray us, your father can forget about working under my father. Follow your father back to the countryside to farm! "
In the dark of the night, Deng Mingxin looked in the direction that Ye Kite had flown in, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
…
At the same time, unbeknownst to Wang Chong and the others, their instructor, Zhao Qianqiu, was currently walking toward the main hall of the Kunwu Training Camp.
This main hall was located in the middle, but it was not open to others. Even the Imperial Army on the mountain couldn't enter this place as they pleased.
"Chiaki, you're here."
The main hall was dark. There were no candles or oil lamps, but a dignified voice came from inside. At the top of the hall, there was a majestic figure clad in armor, sitting upright like a god.
On his body, waves of aura were like the mountains and the seas, giving people a deep sense of reverence.
"Chiaki pays respect to Lord!"
Upon entering the hall, Zhao Qianqiu bowed deeply to the figure at the top of the hall. It was clear that he was extremely respectful.
In truth, Zhao Qianqiu knew that the person seated in the main hall of Kunwu Training Camp was the one in charge. As well as his direct superior.
"How is it? Did you manage to find anything? "
Seated at the top, the figure asked impassively.
"Hehe, of course I did. I've managed to recruit quite a few good seedlings this time. "
Hearing those words, Zhao Qianqiu chuckled as he recounted the five recruits he had recruited during the day.
"I'm only giving this training camp a try because of the Sage Emperor's orders. I didn't think that I would manage to recruit quite a few good seedlings. That Su Hanshan might be young, but his fighting style is sharp and his ability to break through my defense is truly astonishing. My Ten Directional Lightning Might is impregnable, and very few people are able to break through it.
"But that young man actually managed to break through my defense head-on. His fighting style is so sharp that even I found it hard to bear. On top of that, he even managed to slash me with his finger.
"His cultivation isn't too high yet, but he was already able to force me into such a state. If he were to mature, his future would be limitless. "
Zhao Qianqiu exclaimed in awe. Clearly, Su Hanshan's performance had left a deep impression on him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such words.
"To be able to break through your Ten Directional Lightning Finger and injure you. This kind of ability is truly astounding. Does that mean that he is the leader of the students you recruited this time around? You should groom him then! "
The authoritative figure at the top of the hall said.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing those words, Zhao Qianqiu suddenly fell silent.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
The majestic figure in the main hall was slightly surprised. Zhao Qianqiu had always been a decisive person. It was rare for him to be so hesitant, and it wasn't his style at all.
"That's hard to say! I feel that there's a huge problem with Su Hanshan's personality. Standing beside him, I can feel that this child is cold and distant, keeping others at arm's length. Even standing there, he keeps a distance from others. This isn't a good thing. "
"What we need to select are talented commanders on the battlefield, not ordinary fierce generals, fierce generals, or lone men. As a commander, we have to manage the relationship between our comrades and subordinates well. Only when all of the troops are united will we be able to conduct a large-scale campaign. "
"However, Su Hanshan's personality is too cold and difficult to get along with. I fear that it'll be difficult for him to become a true commander on the battlefield."
Zhao Qianqiu hesitated.
If Wang Chong were here, he would surely be astonished. Zhao Qianqiu had only met Su Hanshan once, and they had only exchanged a few words. Even so, it was still a polite exchange. Yet, he was able to accurately predict Su Hanshan's future path.
"Arrogant and difficult to get along with. That's indeed a problem. "
The authoritative figure fell into a rare moment of silence.
"However, these children are still young, and they can still change in the future. Is this the reason why you are hesitating? "
"That's not it!"
Zhao Qianqiu shook his head.
"Oh?"
This time, the authoritative figure was truly surprised.
"Lord, do you still remember the offspring of the Wang Clan, Wang Chong, who caused a huge uproar in the regional commanders incident and was even imprisoned by the Holy Emperor?"
Zhao Qianqiu asked.
"I do. To be able to be so devoted to his country, as expected of a clan of generals and ministers, he didn't bring shame to Duke Jiu's name."
Clearly, the authoritative figure had a good impression of Wang Chong as well.
"Wang Chong is currently under my name."
Zhao Qianqiu replied straightforwardly. After which, he recounted the battle with Wang Chong to the authoritative figure. The Regional Commanders incident had caused a huge uproar, and Wang Chong had thought that he was concealing the truth. Little did he know that Zhao Qianqiu had already recognized him the moment he saw him.
It was just that Zhao Qianqiu didn't expose him.
"To be able to be so devoted to his country and possess such extraordinary cultivation, it's truly surprising. Even though he still can't match up to Su Hanshan, he's still not too bad. "
The majestic figure in the main hall said. Clearly, he had a very high opinion of Wang Chong.
"Lord, my feelings are different from yours!"
Zhao Qianqiu frowned. He didn't bring up this matter to the authoritative figure to tell him that he had accepted Wang Chong as his student.
"That child might have said that it was his intuition, but I don't think so. That's not the case for me. No one's intuition can reach such a level. "
"Intuition can allow you to sense potential danger. Intuition can allow you to sense the flaws in your opponent's moves. Intuition can also allow you to keenly capture impossible opportunities … However, intuition can never allow you to guide your opponent's Primal Qi and cause it to become chaotic in your body."
"Lord, you should be aware of my capabilities as well. I have cultivated the Ten Directional Lightning Fingers for a long time, but this is the first time my Origin Qi has clashed with one another, resulting in my movements being delayed by half a beat. It's fortunate that this is only a duel. If I were to be delayed by half a beat on the battlefield, I'm sure you know what the outcome would be. "
Zhao Qianqiu said grimly.
Wang Chong was using his intuition to fool him, but little did he know that even though Zhao Qianqiu seemed to accept this reason on the surface, the latter had already seen through it.
How could Zhao Qianqiu, who had received the orders of the Holy Emperor and the royal court to select talented commanders from the Kunwu Training Camp, be fooled that easily?
Wang Chong had underestimated him too much.
The hall was silent. That imposing figure stood motionless like a statue, and for the first time, a contemplative look appeared on his face.
The Ten Directional Lightning Fingers was a top-notch offensive and lethal secret art in the military. Even though Zhao Qianqiu had suppressed his cultivation and didn't exert his full strength, that didn't mean much.
The problem that Zhao Qianqiu raised had nothing to do with his strength or cultivation.
If Wang Chong could use that method to guide the Origin Qi in Zhao Qianqiu's body to clash with one another and cause his movements to slow down … Then, he would surely be able to use the same method to guide the Origin Qi in Zhao Qianqiu's body to clash with one another and cause his movements to slow down.
This was something that had nothing to do with one's cultivation.
This was the Kunwu Training Camp, a battle between the instructor and the student. Even if he were to slow down for a moment or suffer a stab from Wang Chong's sword, it wouldn't matter.
But if it was on the battlefield, this kind of negligence, a step delay, would only lead to death!
"Are you certain? Is it a coincidence? "
A long moment later, the authoritative voice asked.
"Definitely not!"
Zhao Qianqiu replied grimly.
"But this is inexplicable. Even a veteran who is two cultivation realms above you wouldn't be able to guide the Ten Directional Lightning Fingers to clash with one another. As a mere fifteen-year-old child, how could he possibly do it? This isn't as simple as writing a memorial to the emperor. There's no such thing as a martial artist! "
Even the other party was astonished.
The matter that Zhao Qianqiu spoke of was no small matter. Logically speaking, it was impossible for such a thing to happen. In fact, it was even more shocking than the matter regarding Su Hanshan.
"Lord, do you know why I hesitated now? Even though Su Hanshan's fighting style is sharp, he would still be at a disadvantage if he were to meet a formidable opponent. As for that Wang Chong … if he could reach even half of Wang Chong's capability in the art of war, I'm afraid that even I wouldn't be able to teach him anything. "
"This kind of person will be the best commander for us in the future. There's no one else like him! "
