On the drill ground, the Black Armoured Corps discussed quietly in groups of twos and threes.
"The centurion challenge has ended! The eight new centurions are Teng Qingshan, Niu Zhan, Gong Yangqing, Hong Xingyang, Yue Song … "The black-robed elder announced the names of the eight victors from the high platform.
"Eight centurions, come to the front." The black-robed elder said loudly.
Teng Qingshan and the other seven walked forward side by side.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Eight heavily armored Cyan Mane Treading in Snow Horses were led over by eight Black Armoured Corps sergeants. Each Cyan Mane Treading in Snow Horses had a set of dark red heavy hematite armor on its saddle.
"Every centurion of the Black Armoured Corps has a Cyan Mane Treading in Snow Horse and a set of hematite heavy armor. As for the weapons you need, you can use the ones you carry, or you can ask for them from the sect. "The black-robed elder said coldly.
"Teng Qingshan." The black-robed elder suddenly looked at Teng Qingshan. "From today onwards, you will be the centurion of the spearmen under the First Commander of the Black Armoured Corps, the Third Commandant!"
"Yes." Teng Qingshan replied loudly.
"Receive the warhorse and heavy armor!" The black-robed elder said coldly.
Immediately, a sergeant of the Black Armoured Corps at the side led the Cyan Mane Treading in Snow Horse to Teng Qingshan's side. Teng Qingshan solemnly received the Cyan Mane Treading in Snow Horse and the hematite heavy armor. "The Black Armoured Corps is really rich. A centurion will use the Cyan Mane Treading in Snow Horse and hematite heavy armor."
The Cyan Mane Treading in Snow Horse was the king of the Cyan Mane Horses and was worth five thousand taels of silver.
The hematite heavy armor was not any lower than the Cyan Mane Treading in Snow Horse.
If the heavy armor on the warhorse was included, the equipment alone was worth more than ten thousand taels of silver. It was truly extravagant.
"Niu Zhan!" The black-robed elder spoke again. "From today onwards, you will be the Third Commander of the Black Armoured Corps, under the First Commandant …"
…
The eight centurions all put away their warhorses and heavy armor. The large group of Black Armoured Corps soldiers below could not help but feel a little jealous.
"The centurion competition has ended. The nine First Rated Warriors who failed will directly become sergeants. Now, let's begin the fight for the position of corporal. " The black-robed old man indifferently said before he sat back down. As the First Commander, he couldn't even be bothered to take a look at this competition.
Compared to the battle for centurion, the battle for squad leader was obviously weaker.
But the whole drill ground was even more lively.
"Qingshan, just wait and see. I'll be able to get the rank of corporal easily. Even if you get the rank of centurion, I can't embarrass you." Teng Qinghu smiled confidently, and Teng Qingshan also had some confidence in Teng Qinghu's strength. Among the second-rate martial artists, his cousin should be considered average.
Because he practiced the Great Spear Stance and the Tiger Fist.
His cousin's spear technique, speed, and listening skill should be on par with the centurion 'Niu Zhan'.
"There shouldn't be any problem in getting the rank of corporal." Teng Qingshan secretly said in his heart.
"Teng Qingshan." A clear voice sounded.
Teng Qingshan turned around and saw that the person who came was Wu Man. Wu Man blinked her eyes and said, "Teng Qingshan, I really couldn't tell at first. You're actually so powerful. Even Yue Song was defeated by you. How did you train your spear technique? Who's your master? "
"I created it myself. Do you believe me?" Teng Qingshan teased.
"Tsk tsk, you're still bragging." Wu Man snorted. She then looked at the Cyan Mane Treading on Snow Horse that was being led by Teng Qingshan. Her eyes revealed a look of envy. She then glared at Teng Qingshan and said, "Hmph, you bunch of monsters. There are actually quite a few experts this time. Otherwise, I would definitely be one of the eight centurions. Ah … … When can I have a Treading on Snow Horse? "
"Senior Sister, even if you get this Treading on Snow Horse, it won't be easy to tame it." Zhuge Yun and his sister Zhuge Qing walked over.
"Brother Teng, it's fine for you to lead this Treading on Snow Horse. But it's not easy to sit on its back and make it listen to you." Zhuge Yun smiled and reminded, "The more precious it is, the harder it is to tame it. You have to be patient."
"Hmm … … Brother, look, that Teng Qinghu won." Zhuge Qing suddenly said.
Teng Qingshan turned around.
Sure enough — —
Teng Qinghu, who was holding a long spear, was roaring loudly and proudly. But in the noisy drill ground, it was almost inaudible.
*****
In the evening, the crescent moon hung high in the sky.
It was now the twelfth month of the winter, and the night was still very cold. In the barracks of the Black Armoured Corps of the Gui Yuan Sect, every centurion had their own courtyard. And the new centurion, Teng Qingshan, was currently in his own courtyard.
"The soldiers of the Black Armoured Corps are really good at drinking." Teng Qingshan recalled this day and sighed.
During the day, it was the centurion and corporal competition. At night, it was also the celebration of drinking. As Teng Qingshan became the new centurion, the soldiers under his command naturally had to toast him. And the other experts of the Black Armoured Corps also respected Teng Qingshan as an expert, so they also came to toast him.
Luckily, Teng Qingshan's internal organs were extremely strong, so he didn't get drunk.
"There's still one thing I haven't done today." Teng Qingshan looked at the corner of the courtyard, at the war horse, 'Cyan Treading on Snow Horse'.
"Taming a horse?"
Teng Qingshan smiled and walked over.
The Cyan Treading on Snow Horse's eyes looked at Teng Qingshan, then lowered its head again, not paying attention to Teng Qingshan at all.
"Whew." Teng Qingshan pressed his right hand on the saddle.
Suddenly, he exerted force!
The Cyan Treading on Snow Horse lost its balance and knelt down.
The Cyan Treading on Snow Horse was instantly enraged. Its four hooves stomped the ground, desperately trying to stand up, and at the same time, it let out an angry neigh.
Teng Qingshan only used his right hand to press on the saddle. No matter how angry the Cyan Treading on Snow Horse tried to resist, it couldn't stand up … It was as if Teng Qingshan's hand was a mountain. No matter how mad it was, it couldn't move Teng Qingshan's right hand even an inch.
Teng Qingshan looked at the Cyan Treading on Snow Horse coldly.
Gradually, the Cyan Treading on Snow Horse gave up resisting and lowered its head.
Animals were very simple. If you were stronger than them, they would choose to submit.
"Hmm?" Teng Qingshan's ears twitched.
"Creak!" The courtyard door opened, and Teng Qinghu walked in, reeking of alcohol. He smiled and said, "Qingshan, haha, the place where a centurion lives is better than where I live. I only have one room at my place, and I don't even have a courtyard. I'll sleep here. "
"Sure, no problem." Teng Qingshan replied with a smile. Today, his cousin had also obtained the position of corporal with his strength.
"I heard a horse neigh just now. Why? Are you taming this Cyan Treading on Snow Horse?" Teng Qinghu asked.
"Yes."
"How is it?" Teng Qinghu asked. "I heard from the brothers that this Treading on Snow Horse isn't that easy to tame."
"It's already tamed." Teng Qingshan smiled and took out a pot of tea from the central room. "You reek of alcohol. Drink some water to sober up." As he said this, he went to the corner of the courtyard. The two brothers sat at the stone table, drinking tea and chatting.
"Hmm, that's right. Qingshan, you could kill the Wolf King at the age of ten. Taming a Treading on Snow Horse is nothing." Teng Qinghu's eyes lit up. "Qingshan, do you know what the mounts of the Commandant and Commander of the Black Armoured Corps are? And what is the Heavy Armor? "
"What?" Teng Qingshan really didn't know.
The Black Armoured Corps has a total of four Commanders, twelve Commandant, and sixty centurions.
"I heard from the brothers in the Black Armoured Corps that the centurions have Treading on Snow Horse and Hematite Heavy Armor. Sir Commandant, that is a Scarlet Blood Horse that is worth twenty to thirty thousand taels of silver, and an equally precious Coldsteel Heavy Armor! I heard that a Scarlet Blood Horse can travel more than two thousand Li in a day. "Teng Qinghu lived with the ordinary soldiers, so he had heard a lot of news.
Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up.
Scarlet Blood Horse?
Teng Qingshan had also heard that the sweat of this kind of warhorse was blood red. Its running speed was extremely fast.
Of course, the Coldsteel Heavy Armor wasn't completely made of Millennium Coldsteel. Wearing it would feel cold to the bone. It was just that part of the material was Coldsteel. This Coldsteel Heavy Armor's defense was naturally very high.
"What about the four Commanders?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"The four Commanders' mounts are the 'Black Dragon Horse', also known as the 'Dark Demonic Horse', one of the three Dragon Horses in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. It is said that it can travel five thousand Li in a day! When they run, it is said that they will only feel a gust of black wind blow past them, and then they will disappear. Although the four Commanders are qualified to own the Dark Demonic Horse, it is said that only two of the four Commanders have tamed the Dark Demonic Horse. The other two younger ones have not succeeded. "
Teng Qingshan secretly exclaimed.
Five thousand Li in a day?
One must know that warhorses can't run for twenty-four hours non-stop. Horses also need to rest. Even if the Dark Demonic Horse was a Dragon Horse, running for twelve hours in a day was considered very powerful. Five thousand Li in twelve hours was equivalent to four hundred Li in an hour.
"Two hundred kilometers per hour? This is a sustained speed. If it is an explosive speed, it should be able to reach four hundred kilometers per hour in an instant. This is even faster than the top speed of the supercars in my previous life. "Teng Qingshan was shocked.
As expected of a Dragon Horse!
Five thousand Li in a day. Terrifying! Only in an era with abundant Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth could it be born.
"The more powerful the horse, the harder it is to tame it. Although this Dark Demonic Horse has been tamed by the ancestors of the Gui Yuan Sect, its wild nature has been reduced. However, it is still not something an ordinary expert can tame. "Teng Qingshan secretly thought.
"The four Commanders' armors are Darksteel Heavy Armors! Their defense is also very high. "Teng Qinghu said.
"Yes." Teng Qingshan did not care much about the so-called Heavy Armors.
Because …
Heavy Armors are powerful in group battles. However, in a fight between experts, they have fatal weaknesses!
1. It is impossible for Heavy Armors to not have any gaps. There are many gaps on the body. Experts can easily kill their enemies through the gaps.
2. The most fatal part of Heavy Armors is that it affects speed and agility!
As an expert, in a life and death battle, agility is very important. If you wear Heavy Armors, your movements and agility will definitely be greatly reduced. It is fine if you are in an army of thousands. However, in a one on one fight, your opponent can easily dodge and easily trample on you.
…
The two brothers talked until late into the night.
"Alright, Cousin, it is late. Rest early. We still have morning training tomorrow." Teng Qingshan said.
"Yes." Teng Qinghu suddenly felt a little lonely. "Yes, we still have morning training tomorrow … Qingshan, from today onwards, we are real members of the Black Armoured Corps. I am really not used to it. I don't know how the clansmen in Teng Jia Village are doing. "
Teng Qingshan's heart trembled slightly.
Yes, from today onwards, he was also a member of the Gui Yuan Sect and a centurion of the Black Armoured Corps.
"Work hard. Don't let your family down." Teng Qingshan encouraged.
"Yes." Teng Qinghu also took a deep breath. "We brothers will work hard in this Gui Yuan Sect. In the future, we will go back with glory!"
