The Human Emperor (1-200)

C197: Chen Burang!

“Let’s go! I’ll help you to the side.”

Wang Chong supported Zhao Jingdian over to the side. After he consumed the pill and rested for a moment, Zhao Jingdian’s complexion gradually recovered.

“Gongzi, how do you know that I’m cultivating Horse Trampling the Barracks?”

After looking around and ensuring that there was no one within earshot, Zhao Jingdian finally asked Wang Chong the question that had been bugging in his mind.

Horse Trampling the Barracks was an ultimate technique of the Zhao Clan. It enhanced one’s agility explosively for a short period of time, allowing one to create three after images to confuse and break through an opponent’s defense.

Usually, when on defense, one’s attention would be focused on the enemy’s upper body. However, the crux of the ‘Horse Trampling the Barracks’ actually lay in the feet.

All it took was a momentary lapse in judgement for the instructor to fall for Zhao Jingdian’s ploy and be kicked on his chest.

However, even though this was a mystical move that was exceptionally useful in breaking through an enemy’s defense when the other party was unprepared, it was extremely difficult to cultivate. Hence, there were very few Zhao Clan members who had managed to successfully cultivate it.

In truth, Zhao Jingdian had cultivated ‘Horse Trampling the Barracks’ on secret. Even his grandfather was unaware of it. As he hadn’t completed his cultivation of the technique yet, he didn’t even consider using it in a practical battle. In truth, the mouthful of blood he spewed previously was mostly due to a backlash from his inner energy.

“Heh, my grandfather had once told me about the Zhao Clan’s Horse Trampling the Barracks and gauging from your Origin Energy Tier 7 cultivation, I guessed that you might have started cultivating this secret art.”

Wang Chong said.

“So it’s Duke Jiu!”

Zhao Jingdian was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization. Any bizarre occurrence could be explained if Duke Jiu was involved. He might have been able to hide the fact that he was cultivating Horse Trampling the Barracks from others but he didn’t think that he would be able to conceal it from Duke Jiu’s sharp eyes.

Seeing Zhao Jingdian’s expression, Wang Chong couldn’t help but chuckle internally.

Was there even a need for him to ask grandfather on Zhao Jingdian’s affairs? In his previous life, the two of them had fought alongside and conquered many battlefields together. He couldn’t be any more familiar with the other party’s martial arts.

Whether Zhao Jingdian had cultivated ‘Horse Trampling the Barracks’ or not and how far he had progressed in it, Wang Chong could tell in a single glance.

“There’s a reason why I insisted for you to come under him. Even though those who graduate from the training camp in the future would eventually reach great heights in the future, that instructor is different. While others have to spend several years toiling at the bottom layer, we’ll be able to take on the role of a lieutenant straight and lead an army to a battlefield. By then, you’ll know that this mouthful of blood was worth it.”

“AH!!”

Zhao Jingdian exclaimed in astonishment as he abruptly raised his head.

Wang Chong nodded silently. One who learned the ‘Art of Commanding’ couldn’t possibly walk on the same path as the others.

Other graduates, including those from Shenwei and Longwei, usually started out from the smallest section commander. On the other hand, those who studied the ‘Art of Commanding’ were given the position of a lieutenant as soon as they graduated.
