Chapter 223: Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi! (1/2)
Chapter 223: Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi!
“The war against the Goguryeo Empire and the Eastern and Western Turkic Khaganate is none of our business at the moment. Since everyone is here though, I have something to give you all.”
“Wait here a moment.”
Speaking thus, amidst everyone’s perplexed gazes, he stood up and walked into the next room in back.
“What is gongzi up to?”
Everyone turned their heads questioningly to Zhao Jingdian. It was clear from the recent incident that Zhao Jingdian and Wang Chong had a close relationship. If there was anyone who knew what was going on, it had to be him.
But, Zhao Jingdian simply shook his head, an equal confusion written large on his face. While he was a vassal of the Wang Clan, Wang Chong’s actions still remained unfathomable to him.
Through the holes in the wall, everyone could see Wang Chong’s arms moving around with his back facing them. The latter’s arms remained in motion for a significant period of time, and slowly, they realized that he must be writing something.
“Alright, these are my gifts to you all. There’s a book for each of you. I don’t have any string to bind them, but do take care of them and read through them carefully.”
Wang Chong had finally finished what he was doing and returned back with a stack of paper in his hands, which he quickly divvied up and passed out to his waiting audience.
“This is… cultivation technique?!”
Initially, everyone was still perplexed by his actions and wondering what he was up to. However, as soon as their eyes beheld the content on the papers they’d received, agitation immediately overwhelmed them. What Wang Chong had given each of them happened to be cultivation technique secret manual!
“I’ve picked these out based on your strengths, so do look through them at your leisure.”
Nodding his head, Wang Chong replied to their agitation impassively.
The assault yesterday night had made them all, including Wang Chong, realize their powerlessness. It was already a huge blessing that they could survive such an assault.
Initially, Wang Chong was intending to only pass the techniques on some time later. This way, it would look more natural on his part.
But now, there was no longer a need for that.
Without having time to prepare beforehand, Wang Chong could only jot everything down on the spot.
“Gongzi, there are some for us as well?”
Xu Qi, Gao Feng, and Nie Yan looked at the small stack of paper in each of their hands in disbelief. Wang Chong’s birth was much nobler than theirs, and a gift from him couldn’t possibly be anything ordinary.
What shocked the trio most was that despite having only just gotten acquainted with Wang Chong, the latter actually gave something valuable to them. After all, unlike Zhao Jingdian and that lot, the time they’d spent with him was severely limited.
“Un!”
Wang Chong nodded his head. Given how Xu Qi, Gao Feng, and Nie Yan were able to survive amidst the chaos last night and even take the initiative to help others, there was little that needed to be said about their fighting prowess and capability. In truth, he had another reason for his actions, these were also future great generals from Kunwu Training Camp.
While Xu Qi’s other capabilities might not be as outstanding as Su Hanshan’s, his ability to command troops was extraordinary—Wang Chong had a clear glimpse of this yesterday night.
On the other hand, Gao Feng and Nie Yan would go on and become mighty generals on the battlefield. They would hold pivotal roles in the future wars with Ü-Tsang.
One would be a defensive general while the other would be an offensive one! They would become a pair of heroes who made up for one another’s weaknesses!
Other than Wang Chong, not a single one of them was aware of this. While the future Gao Feng and Nie Yan would not require his help, the current duo had yet to mature and grow into their strength. The same was true for Xu Qi.
“Thank you, gongzi!”
Delighted, the trio bowed respectfully to Wang Chong in gratitude.
Wang Chong just nodded his head silently in response. What he imparted them with were the most formidable ultimate techniques he had in his possession from his previous life, carefully selected to complement their strengths. These ultimate techniques were much stronger than those they were currently learning, and it could help them construct a solid foundation.
This was a huge boost to them. Even Wang Chong couldn’t estimate how far they would go in the future at this rate.
The future had already changed, and Wang Chong was aiming to shape it to the form he desired. He hoped to strengthen the future great generals till they could become a powerful pillar propping up the empire.
Zhao Jingdian, Zhuang Zhengping, Chi Weisi, Xu Qi, Nie Yan, and Gao Feng all left in satisfaction. Chen Burang stayed back a moment.
“Thank you, gongzi!”
Right after the six of them left, Chen Burang bowed deeply to Wang Chong. Unlike the others, he was born and raised by a family of mountain hunters.
Given his experience with the bow, he could easily tell that the archery technique Wang Chong had given him was formidable.
In terms of quality, it was probably far above what Wang Chong had given to the other six. In fact, he could sense that it was a technique whose might went far beyond the True Martial realm, reaching a level unimaginable to him!
Chen Burang was still able to tell this much despite his tender years.
“Ah, there’s no need for you to thank me. Chen Burang, I’ve my own reasons for imparting you with this archery technique.”
Wang Chong alluded.
“Oh?”
Chen Burang was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing something.
“Gongzi, if you have anything you need, feel free to command me!”
He spoke with a deep voice.
“You’re misunderstanding here, I don’t mean for you to become my subordinate. It’ll suffice as long as you practice this archery technique and grow stronger—the empire will have need of you in the future!”
Wang Chong smiled and laughed it off.
