The matter of the Halo of Dusk Stallion was a secret in the training camp. Not even the other instructors knew of it, needless to say, the students.
In the entire training camp, there were probably less than three people who knew of the existence of this cultivation technique.
But this wasn't the main point. The main point was that the war halo was a taboo in the training camp. In fact, the higher-ups hadn't even decided whether they would impart it or not.
And Zhao Qianqiu had never mentioned it to anyone either.
In the training camp, this was a secret. Where in the world did Wang Chong learn of the existence of this cultivation technique?
Wang Chong smiled silently.
The matter of the Halo of Dusk Stallion had always been a secret in the training camp. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for no one to learn it.
Of course, Wang Chong wouldn't say that he had learned it through his second reincarnation.
"Instructor, am I wrong? Is there no such cultivation technique in the training camp?"
Wang Chong asked.
Zhao Qianqiu's brow creased as he seriously looked at Wang Chong.
"Wang Chong, you said that you wish to learn the Halo of Dusk Stallion, but do you know what this halo represents?"
"Of course I do."
Wang Chong smiled.
The Halo of Dusk Stallion was the strongest war halo in the world, as well as the strongest war halo in the entire training camp. It was created for the sake of battle.
Unlike other secret techniques, this secret technique had to be complemented by a war steed in order to display its might. More importantly, this secret technique could be evolved!
"Wait a moment!"
Without saying a word, Zhao Qianqiu turned around and left. In just a few moments, he had already left the hall. Leaving his living quarters, Zhao Qianqiu passed through the main hall and soon arrived at the most central room of Kunwu Training Camp.
It was dignified and solemn, reminiscent of a bottomless abyss.
In this hall, there was only one person who was qualified to sit here. Of the thousands of instructors in the training camp, only a handful of high-ranking instructors were qualified to enter this room.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Qianqiu revealed what Wang Chong had told him.
"Halo of Dusk Stallion?"
In the hall, the tall and burly figure hidden in the darkness sat up slightly. He supported his chin with one hand and frowned at the same time.
"The Halo of Dusk Stallion was bestowed upon us by His Majesty. Besides you, me, and His Majesty, the number of people who know about this matter can be counted on one hand, definitely not more than five. Also, the training camp has just opened, how did Wang Chong know about it? Could it be that the Wang Clan's one … "
"This subordinate thinks so too."
Zhao Qianqiu hurriedly interjected.
"If it was the elder of the Wang Clan who reported it to him, then everything can be explained. The old duke has always had a deep meaning behind his every move, and he is extremely close to His Majesty. Perhaps it was His Majesty's intention to have Wang Chong learn the Halo of Dusk Stallion. "
If Wang Chong were here, he would definitely be shocked. This was because the content of their conversation was completely different from his understanding of what they were talking about.
Both of them actually thought that it was Wang Chong's grandfather, Duke Jiu of the Tang dynasty.
"Since it's the old duke's intention, he should understand that His Majesty doesn't want us to impart this ultimate art lightly and must choose suitable candidates. It's definitely not because this ultimate art is too powerful and can't be imparted lightly or because we want to keep it to ourselves. Instead, it's because this is a very important matter and involves a lot of people. Even His Majesty has to tread carefully. "
"Since Duke Jiu knows this well, why would he still allow his grandson to learn it?"
The brows of the tall and burly figure in the hall shot up, as though he had just heard a difficult question.
"I don't know. Perhaps His Majesty and the old duke have other intentions. Besides, I've asked Wang Chong, and he said that he knows what it means. "
Zhao Qianqiu revealed the conversation between him and Wang Chong.
These words played a decisive role. Perhaps not even Wang Chong could have imagined that his words would be interpreted by Zhao Qianqiu and that person.
"Since the old duke doesn't mind, let's do as he wishes. Zhao Qianqiu, follow the rules. "
That person said.
"Yes, lord. I understand what I should do."
Zhao Qianqiu nodded before respectfully backing out of the room.
…
Wang Chong waited outside the room for a very long time. Just as he was wondering what Zhao Qianqiu was up to, Zhao Qianqiu finally stepped over the doorsill and walked in.
"Wang Chong, I can impart the Halo of Dusk Stallion to you. However, you have to think it through carefully. The Halo of Dusk Stallion is different from other martial halos. Firstly, it needs to be paired with a steed, and you already have this. Secondly, the cultivation of this secret art is much more difficult than any other martial art. Cultivating the Halo of Dusk Stallion will cause your martial realm to regress, and it will consume a large amount of Origin Energy. Those of the same cultivation realm as him might have already reached Profound Martial realm, but due to the Halo of Dusk Stallion, you are still stuck at True Martial realm Tier 1 or Tier 2. Are you willing to accept this? "
Zhao Qianqiu said grimly.
There was a reason why the Halo of Dusk Stallion was not taught to others. Cultivating this secret art would place a huge burden on a martial artist, and it wasn't something that just anyone could cultivate.
"I'm willing."
Wang Chong replied without any hesitation. No matter what, he had to learn the Halo of Dusk Stallion.
"Also, even if I impart the Halo of Dusk Stallion to you, you might not succeed. You might not even be able to meet your expectations. Even so, do you still want to learn it? "
Zhao Qianqiu asked. This was the truth. The Halo of Dusk Stallion had an extremely high requirement on talent and diligence. Even so, one might not necessarily succeed.
The more powerful a secret art was, the harder it was to cultivate. This was a fact.
The Halo of Dusk Stallion was not a new technique.
Before this, there had been other cultivators who had cultivated it. However, those who had managed to cultivate it to the highest level were few and far between. To be more precise, there had not been a single one!
Because they had spent a large amount of time on the Halo of Dusk Stallion, they had failed to get on the good side of both sides, resulting in their achievements falling far short of expectations. This was a common situation.
As Wang Chong's instructor, Zhao Qianqiu had to be responsible for him.
These were things that had to be made clear.
"Un."
Wang Chong nodded.
"Very good!"
Zhao Qianqiu nodded in satisfaction.
"Then the rest is simple. The Halo of Dusk Stallion is a top-notch secret art in the training camp, so it can't be imparted lightly. Make your preparations. Three days from now, you should prepare to undergo a trial. As long as you can clear it, I will impart the Halo of Dusk Stallion to you. "
"Trial?"
Wang Chong was surprised. He wasn't too sure about this.
"Un, let me tell you this first. Even I can't change the rules of the training camp. Once you accept the rules, you will be under the responsibility of the other instructors, and even I can't do anything about it. This is the rule of the training camp.
"Also, I know that you have established the Deflecting Blade Manor and recruited quite a few students from the training camp. However, the rule of the training camp is to test your individual ability. Thus, other than yourself, you are not allowed to bring anyone else. This includes the guards of the Wang Clan. If anyone were to violate the rules or cheat, their academic records will be revoked and they will be expelled from the training camp. "
Zhao Qianqiu said seriously.
The consequences of violating the rules were severe, so he had to explain this to Wang Chong. Being expelled from the training camp wasn't a big deal, but having one's academic records revoked meant that one would never be able to enter the military again.
Similarly, this stain on one's academic records meant that one would never be able to enter politics or become an official.
As a scion of a prestigious clan, this meant that one's entire life would be ruined.
Zhao Qianqiu had no choice but to explain this severe consequence to Wang Chong.
"I understand."
Wang Chong nodded.
In other words, in order to obtain the Halo of Dusk Stallion, one had to display the corresponding ability.
"Go."
"Un."
After leaving the main peak, Wang Chong settled the matters in the Deflecting Blade Manor and began preparing for the training camp's trial three days later.
Wang Chong didn't know much about the training camp's trial, only a rough understanding of it.
When the students in the training camp reached a certain level or when their cultivation reached a certain level, the royal court would assign them randomly.
However, the assignment wasn't fixed, and most of the time, the chief examiners weren't even from the training camp. On top of that, there was no way to control it.
More importantly, these missions were all real, and they were all difficult problems that the royal court couldn't resolve. They weren't intentionally arranged by the training camp.
This also meant that there was a certain degree of danger to these missions.
Even though the royal court would try its best to control the danger,
"I wonder what kind of mission it will be?"
Wang Chong thought.
This was the first time Wang Chong was participating in such a mission.
… …
Time flew, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Neigh!"
Suddenly, the crisp neigh of a horse reverberated through the air. In the blink of an eye, a black silhouette darted through the forest and landed on the peak. It circled around Wang Chong, and at the same time, it approached Wang Chong and rubbed its head against Wang Chong's body. At the same time, it stuck out its tongue and licked Wang Chong's palm in an extremely intimate manner.
Wang Chong's palm was tickled, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Haha, Little Shadow, long time no see."
Stroking Blackshadow's glossy mane, Wang Chong passed over a handful of beans and watched as Blackshadow's lips squirmed as he ate them one by one. Wang Chong couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy.
The White-hoofed Shadow had a personality that was extremely fond of freedom and freedom. This was not obvious in the palace, but now that it was out of the capital and in the presence of nature, the White-hoofed Shadow's free and unrestrained nature could no longer be controlled.
When Wang Chong first realized this, he had long ago released it into the wild.
Unlike what he had imagined, not only did this not alienate the relationship between the owner and the White-hoofed Shadow, it actually made the White-hoofed Shadow feel closer to its owner.
This was because the White-hoofed Shadow could sense that its owner had given it something that no one else could.
Freedom!
"Little fellow, let's go. It's time for you to be of use. "
