Xu Yi-qin's face paled, and she felt like her lungs were about to explode. She was the proud daughter of the Longwei Training Camp, and many young masters of aristocratic families would bow their heads and respectfully call her Sister Qin, but she didn't even bat an eye at them.
Every single one of these men was lustful, and their talent was mediocre. They weren't worthy of Xu Yi-qin's attention at all.
Who said that women were inferior to men? She, Xu Yi-qin, wanted to trample all men beneath her feet.
She was used to being arrogant, and she was used to looking down on men. Xu Yi-qin could never have imagined that she would be humiliated by Wang Chong in the tiny Deflecting Blade Manor.
"What are you trying to do?"
With a flash of light, a white silhouette appeared between Wang Chong and Xu Yi-qin. Huang Qian-er carried a silver greatsword on her back, and her expression was as cold as an unmelting glacier as she stared at Xu Yi-qin.
She couldn't tell that Xu Yi-qin was a woman disguised as a man. In this aspect, women seemed to lack the ability to distinguish between men and women. Huang Qian-er only knew that if anyone dared to touch Wang Chong, she would send them flying out of the window.
This handsome young man seemed to be quite strong, but he was definitely not a match for her!
Xu Yi-qin didn't even look at Huang Qian-er. Her eyes were red, and she felt like she was about to explode.
"Wang Chong, you're going too far!"
Xu Yi-qin's chest heaved. She had never suffered such humiliation before. If Wang Chong didn't give her an explanation, he shouldn't blame her for beating him up into a pig's head and hanging him on a flagpole.
"Hehe!"
Seeing Xu Yi-qin explode in anger, Wang Chong's lips curled up into an almost imperceptible smile. Xu Yi-qin wasn't mistaken about one thing.
He had indeed purposely not allowed her to pass.
Moreover, there was one thing that she didn't know. Wang Chong was deliberately provoking her and making her fly into a rage.
As the most talented woman in the Tang dynasty and the best in logistics, Xu Yi-qin's ability had reached a certain level.
In the Tang dynasty, almost no one could compare with her.
If anyone could obtain the help of Xu Yi-qin and the Xu Family, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. At least in terms of logistics, there was nothing to worry about.
"Before the troops and horses move, the rations and fodder move first." A war that would last for two months would require two years to prepare the logistics and rations.
The importance of logistics was obvious.
In the other world that Wang Chong came from, that fellow called 'Napoleon' had failed on the verge of success precisely because of a lack of logistics. A great undertaking had been wasted, and decades of effort had been wasted.
Logistics was too trivial. It involved countless aspects and was innumerable. It needed wisdom, but not just wisdom! In this aspect, even if one's martial arts were higher than the heavens, it would be useless.
Wang Chong knew that he had no talent in this aspect. In his last life, when the army was defeated, he was basically in a state of no rations, no pay, and no logistics.
If he really had a formidable logistics expert like Xu Yi-qin, he wouldn't have lost so quickly.
It was a rare opportunity for the talented daughter of the Xu Clan, Xu Yi-qin, to disguise herself as Xu Chong and come to Deflecting Blade Manor to challenge him.
If Wang Chong were to let go of this opportunity, he wouldn't be Wang Chong!
"Xu Chong, you seem to be very unconvinced?"
Wang Chong said calmly.
"Convinced? About what? There isn't a single person here who is a match for me. All of them have been utterly defeated by me. Tell me, other than you, who else here is more formidable than me? Him, him, him … or him? "
Xu Yi-qin pointed at the examinees around her, unable to restrain her anger.
Those who were weak had passed, while those who were strong had failed. How could there be such a logic in the world? She could sense that Wang Chong was intentionally making things difficult for her!
Even if she had to expose her identity, she would still teach this bastard a lesson.
"Hehe, do you think that they are weak? Or perhaps, do you think that you are very strong? "
Wang Chong looked at Xu Yi-qin, the smile on his face infuriating.
"Am I not?"
Xu Yi-qin countered with a question. Don't think that she is a three-year-old child. Wang Chong's excuses can't fool her!
"Hehe, let me ask you, how long have you been playing chess? How long have they been playing chess? "
Wang Chong said calmly, as if he couldn't see the rage on Xu Yi-qin's face.
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing Wang Chong's question, Xu Yi-qin suddenly calmed down.
"If I'm not wrong, Xu Chong, you have been playing chess since you were young, right? By now, it has probably been more than ten years, right? But these people … "
Wang Chong turned around and swept his gaze across these students.
"The longest they have been playing chess is one or two years, and the shortest is only one or two months. Although their chess skills are very poor right now, they have great potential. "
"Potential? What do you mean? "
Xu Yi-qin said.
This time, even Huang Qian-er's attention was drawn. Although she wasn't participating in the match, she could clearly see everything that was happening at the entrance of the Chess Hall.
Even she could tell that Wang Chong had something against this' Xu Chong 'fellow. But this was also his fault for being too arrogant.
Huang Qian-er had thought that Wang Chong would find a random reason to deal with him. Or perhaps use his identity as the master of Deflecting Blade Manor to order him to leave.
But from the looks of it, Wang Chong wasn't just spouting nonsense.
"It's very simple. Think about it. One is a grown shrub, and the other is the seed of a nanmu. If you want to build a house, do you want a bush or a seed of a nanmu tree? "
Wang Chong stared at Xu Yi-qin.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm that shrub? "
Xu Yi-qin's eyes blazed with fury.
"Hehe, although it's just a metaphor, that's more or less what I mean. Although the students I chose aren't good at chess, they are like nanmu seeds. As long as they are nurtured properly, they will have limitless potential. Even you … Although your chess skills are very high, this is basically the limit of your achievements. Your potential has already been completely unearthed, and there's no more room for growth. This is the reason why I eliminated you! "
Wang Chong said calmly.
"Bastard!"
Xu Yi-qin finally exploded. Although Wang Chong had said so much, he was basically saying the same thing. Your strength has reached its limit, and there's no more room for you to grow.
How could someone as proud as Xu Yi-qin be able to stand it?
"I'll kill you no matter what!"
Xu Yi-qin was on the verge of insanity. Without a second thought, Stellar Energy surged from her body as she reached out to grab Wang Chong. This casual grab had actually created a thunderous roar, and even Wang Chong couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Boom!"
But in the next moment, there was a loud boom, and a slender palm as translucent as white jade slashed in, accurately striking Xu Yi-qin's arm. Boom! Stellar Energy shot out in all directions. Xu Yi-qin's furious strike had actually been blocked by Huang Qian-er.
"Young Master, I advise you to conduct yourself with dignity!"
Huang Qian-er said coldly, a dangerous glint in her eyes. Even now, she had no idea that she was facing a girl just like her.
Like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, Xu Yi-qin suddenly calmed down.
"Who are you … hmph, I was wondering who it was. So it's you, Fairy of Dainty Hands. When did you run over and become someone's servant?"
Xu Yi-qin hadn't recognized her at the start. But when she realized that the icy beauty at Wang Chong's side was the famed Fairy of Dainty Hands, Huang Qian-er, her entire face changed.
Many people believed that beauties would have a good relationship with each other, but it was the exact opposite. Beautiful women hated other women the most, especially women as beautiful as themselves!
"Who are you? You recognize me? Hmph, I don't care who you are, but if you dare to touch him, don't blame me for being rude. Even though I don't like him either! "
Huang Qian-er coldly said.
"… …"
Wang Chong speechlessly rolled his eyes. Why did she add that last line? Wouldn't it have been better if she hadn't? He really couldn't understand these women.
"Xu Chong, it's useless. You won't be able to do anything here. Moreover, as I said, your potential has reached its limit, and that's it. If you're not convinced, you can leave now! "
Wang Chong didn't miss this opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"You … bastard, you want me to leave? I'm not leaving! "
It would have been better if Wang Chong hadn't said anything, but now that Wang Chong had said it, Xu Yi-qin actually didn't want to leave. Her personality would never allow her to be led away by Wang Chong.
Furthermore, with Fairy of Dainty Hands, Huang Qian-er, around, she knew that she couldn't do anything rash. Of the direct descendants of the great clans of the capital, Huang Qian-er was ranked third.
Although Xu Yi-qin wasn't convinced, she had to admit that Huang Qian-er's strength was probably above hers. In a fight with her, she wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.
"Hmph, don't get too happy. Aren't you trying to say that this is all I'm capable of and that I can't defeat you? Just you wait, I'll definitely trample you beneath my feet and return the humiliation you gave me a hundredfold! "
After saying that, Xu Qiqin turned around and left, not staying for a moment longer.
"Gongzi, should we chase him out? There's no need for such a person to remain here. "
Wei Anfang suddenly approached from the side and whispered.
Hearing those words, Wang Chong couldn't help but smile. Wei Anfang was indeed a blockhead who didn't know how to flirt. Why would he chase away a beauty like Xu Yi-qin?
He couldn't wait to stay.
"There's no need to bother with him. Men, clean up the place. Also, arrange for the students who just passed to be sent to the Spirit Vein. "
"Yes, gongzi!"
Wei Anfang nodded his head and agreed to it.
After leaving the Chess Hall, Wang Chong headed straight for the training camp. After so long, it was about time for him to meet his instructor, Zhao Qianqiu.
…
Passing through more than half of the training camp, Wang Chong finally met with Zhao Qianqiu at the main peak of Kunwu Training Camp.
"Hehe, you're finally back!"
Upon seeing Wang Chong walk in, Zhao Qianqiu's eyes lit up. He immediately stood up from his seat and walked toward Wang Chong with widened strides.
Upon seeing Zhao Qianqiu, Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh.
Once upon a time, Wang Chong had only gone there for the sake of Zhao Qianqiu's reputation in his previous life and the Halo of Dusk Stallion under his name. But unknowingly, a deep bond had been forged between the two of them.
If not for Zhao Qianqiu's Thousand Li Fragrance, he might have really died in that forest.
Weng!
Taking in a deep breath, just as Zhao Qianqiu was about to walk over, Wang Chong suddenly got down on one knee and bowed respectfully to Zhao Qianqiu with the most solemn military etiquette.
"Teacher, thank you!"
Wang Chong's voice echoed in the hall.
From this moment onward, regardless of whether it was in terms of status or heart, Wang Chong viewed Zhao Qianqiu as his teacher, a teacher for life.
