The Human Emperor (200-400)

C320: New Winds (2)

The Deflecting Blade Manor was currently bustling with a huge crowd of nearly a hundred. This formed a stark contrast to how it was in the past when only the usual few consisting of Wang Chong, Zhao Jingdian, and a few others dropped this by area.

Wang Chong's initial intention was to bring in only the recruits of Kunwu Training Camp. The interest from Longwei and Shenwei were completely unexpected, resulting in the insufficient capacity of the Deflecting Blade Manor to house everyone.

"Gongzi!"

Beyond the door stood an ordinary-looking young man. He had a common square face and inconspicuous feature, making it easy to overlook him if not for the tenacity that shone through his eyes. Upon seeing Wang Chong, the young man bowed respectfully.

"We have finished organizing those who are here for the examination. If gongzi wishes to, the examination can be carried out anytime you wish."

His demeanor was neither excessively humble nor arrogant when he spoke. This young man was the talent whom Wang Chong brought in from Longwei Training Camp, Wei Anfang.

Wang Chong's judgement was spot-on, Wei Anfang was indeed currently tiding through the most difficult period of his life. Nothing seemed to be going well, and he was being snubbed by his comrades as well.

On top of that, Wei Anfang even offended the eldest son of his clan in Longwei Training Camp. As such, when he received Wang Chong's invitation letter, he literally leaped up in joy, accepting the request without any hesitation.

With just this single letter, Wei Anfang easily freed himself from the oppression of his clan and the eldest son.

——After all, the Wei Clan had been racking their heads over how they could build a relationship with the Wang Clan when Wang Chong's invitation letter arrived at this precise moment.

Wei Anfang's capability didn't let Wang Chong down either.

He wasn't particularly outstanding, but he was always able to arrange and accomplish the tasks which Wang Chong instructed him orderly and punctually.

With Wei Anfang around, Zhao Jingdian was finally freed from his duties. The first thing that Wang Chong did was to dispatch the latter to the spirit vein to train.

In Wang Chong's previous life, Zhao Jingdian didn't just play an auxiliary role, he was his most capable general. It would be a huge mistake if the other party's talent and fighting prowess were tied down over such miscellaneous affairs.

"Un, do as you deem fit."

Wang Chong nodded. Under Wei Anfang's lead, he descended a flight of wooden stairs, and after turning at a corner, two long flagpoles appeared before him. One of them bore the flag of the Deflecting Blade Manor whereas the other was just a wooden stick that had been stuck in recently.

Two recruits were currently standing beneath the wooden flagpoles, and a huge crowd was gathered around them.

"Come, which one of you dares to challenge me?"

"Hah, allow me then! Ten gold taels!"

"Deal"

Amidst loud cheerings from the crowd, the two men suddenly rushed up to the flagpoles and began scaling it.

Wang Chong chuckled as he gazed at the two nimble figures climbing the flagpoles. This was the place where he had planted the flag, but somehow, it had turned into an area where the crowd gathered for leisure and competed on their movement technique.

At another bend, he saw several figures clashing with one another in the garden, within the pond, above the fake mountains, and beneath the walls. Some of them were armed with wooden swords, some were armed with wooden sabers, and some were unarmed altogether.
