Chapter 198: Su Hanshan! (1/2)
Regardless of whether it was his previous life or his current one, Wang Chong had never been good with bows. Thus, Wang Chong couldn’t really guide Chen Burang on this aspect.
Even so, he retained some memory of various archery techniques from his previous life. Perhaps, this might prove useful in helping Chen Burang raise his capabilities!
After separating with Chen Burang, Wang Chong loitered around the crowd a little longer before returning back to the mountain peak. However, to Wang Chong’s surprise, he saw a few more figures standing near Zhao Jingdian.
“What happened?”
Wang Chong walked over and asked with a hushed voice.
“These people came not too long after you left. They are all very strong, and based on my estimates, their cultivation is at least at Origin Energy Tier 7. Like me, they all used the method of mutual destruction to pass the test.”
Zhao Jingdian said.
He had been sitting here since Wang Chong left so he witnessed the entire proceedings from start to end.
“Oh?”
Hearing Zhao Jingdian’s recount, Wang Chong couldn’t help but chuckle.
“There’s nothing too surprising about that. There are many smart people here as well. Most probably, they were watching by some corner when we were taking the test so it isn’t too surprising for them to know about the method as well.”
The biggest mistake one could make was to underestimate others. Wang Chong could immediately tell that those people were imitating Zhao Jingdian’s method.
Furthermore, given how they resorted to it the moment they rushed up, not even bothering to test the waters first, it was clear that they were confident. If they hadn’t witnessed Zhao Jingdian’s fight, they wouldn’t have dared to do something so risky.
“Those two are still alright. I can sense that their cultivation is around our level. However, that man… Somehow, I feel that he’s even stronger than you!”
Zhao Jingdian said fearfully.
“Oh?”
Wang Chong’s eyebrows shot up and a grim expression appeared on his face. Zhao Jingdian had witnessed his fight with the instructor, and he wasn’t the type of person to exaggerate.
If Zhao Jingdian said that the other person was stronger than him, then it was very likely that that was the case.
“Who are you talking about?”
“That person over there!”
Zhao Jingdian pointed to the person standing behind the instructor. Only then did Wang Chong realize that he had overlooked a figure.
That person was standing around ten zhang behind the instructor so Wang Chong simply thought that he was just a spectating student.
(~30m)
On top of that, the person had an extremely cold face, and the aura he emanated was equally frigid. Even when standing amidst a crowd, his presence would make him exceedingly conspicuous. He seemed to have a natural disposition in inducing fear and creating distance against others.
——There wasn’t a single person within a perimeter of three zhang around him. The fact that the crowd was circling around him showed a lot.
(10m)
“It’s him?”
Wang Chong’s eyebrows shot up in astonishment.
“… That person is extremely formidable. If I’m not mistaken, his cultivation should be very close to Origin Energy Tier 9. On top of that, when he crossed hands with the instructor, the instructor was actually unable to defend against him and was left with a small cut.”
Zhao Jingdian spoke with a slightly apprehensive tone.
To be able to induce such apprehension within Zhao Jingdian, the other party’s strength was indeed extraordinary.
However, that wasn’t what Wang Chong was concerned about. At this moment, his mind was currently preoccupied with something else.
Wang Chong knew who that person was!
He was Su Hanshan!
Even among the future great generals in Kunwu Training Camp, this person was ranked amongst the top tier. He was one of the few from the Three Great Training Camps who was publicly acknowledged to be a talented general capable of standing his own ground on the battlefield!
But right until the very end, he was only considered to be a potential great general. He didn’t manage to become a grade-1 general like Wang Chongsi, Go Seonji, and Zhang Shougui.
There was minimal news on Su Hanshan out in public, and all that was known about him was that he had come from Kunwu Training Camp.
“… To think that he would be a student of this instructor as well!”
Wang Chong muttered under his breath.
Looking at that figure ten zhang away, a complicated expression appeared on Wang Chong’s face.
In Kunwu Training Camp, Su Hanshan was definitely ranked in the top.
In the future, the army that he personally trained and led would possess the greatest offensive ability in a frontal fight across the entire Great Tang.
No matter how many layers of defense the other party put up, the army that Su Hanshan led would be able to tear apart their formation as though a sharp blade, stabbing right into the core of the opposing army and tearing it apart from within.
In a frontal clash on the battlefield, Su Hanshan’s army was a subject of fear for hostile nations and foreign tribes.
The troops that he trained fought right down to their very last breath. No matter how powerful the enemies were, no matter how disadvantageous the situation was, his army was able to stand upright without the slightest fluster.
And Su Hanshan had always braved through death with his subordinates as well, thereby becoming their spiritual leader as well! In terms of belief, there wasn’t a single army who was as resolute and tightly-knitted as Su Hanshan’s army.
But it was a pity that there was no such thing as a perfect being. Su Hanshan possessed an aloof personality, and this resulted in his eventual defeat.
