Chapter 296: Deflecting Blade Manor (1/2)

Chapter 296: Deflecting Blade Manor

As the first base constructed for the recruits of Kunwu Training Camp, Wang Chong was extremely particular about its renovation.

And fortunately, he had achieved the intended effect.

As the group was looking around the residence, Wang Chong turned around to look at an armored guard beside him. He vaguely recalled the other party's name to be Huang Qiu—Uncle Li Lin had once told him about him. Huang Qiu was an extremely reliable man, and everything in here was taken care of by him. ”Have you prepared what I asked?”

”Gongzi, everything is ready,” Huang Qiu replied respectfully.

Wang Chong nodded. ”Lead the way.”

A few pieces of six chi long white paper were placed just in front of the entrance of the main hall, and an old man stood respectfully there.

Placed beside the papers was a huge pail of ink.

When Wang Chong walked to the entrance of the main hall, he immediately caught everyone's attention. Zhao Jingdian, Zhuang Zhengping, Chi Weisi, Xu Qi, Gao Feng, Nie Yan, Chen Burang, and Sun Zhiming immediately joined him.

Their expectant eyes were all centered on Wang Chong.

”Bring me my brush!” Wang Chong said as he stretched out his hand.

”Gongzi!” A guard by the side immediately presented a huge brush into Wang Chong's hands.

The atmosphere abruptly became grave.

Since the construction and renovation were complete, going by the traditions, the owner of the residence should confer a name upon the residence.

But everyone knew that the significance of this event went further than that.

Holding onto the massive brush, Wang Chong fell into deep contemplation.

Ever since his reincarnation, this was the first time he was stepping forward to present the Wang Clan and himself to the world.

This residence, as well as base, held a deep significance to him.

As an idea came to his mind, Wang Chong dabbed the massive brush into the ink pail.

”Through military strategy, we confer the peace of the nation!”

”Through martial power, we toughen ourselves to guard the world!”

Seventeen massive words were sprawled majestically over the huge papers. Wang Chong's standard script was hard to look at, but his cursive script was another story.

The core to the cursive script was emotion, and skills played a secondary role.

These two lines consisting of seventeen words harnessed Wang Chong's ideology. Even though they couldn't be considered the work of a true master, they carried an air of grandeur about them.

”Those commanding an army must not be oblivious to military stratagem! Kunwu Training Camp is a cradle for generals, not soldiers. The main responsibility of a general is to deflect all blades directed toward the nation and usher in peace. Thus, this residence shall be known as Deflecting Blade Manor!” Wang Chong said as his brush flew across the paper, jotting down his beliefs.

As these words were written down, everyone's heart jolted as they felt the strong intentions behind those words.

Deflecting Blades Residence, a base built for fending off all attack!

Wang Chong failed to achieve this goal in his previous life, and this was one of his greatest regrets. That was why he returned here once more, to achieve what he had failed in.

Glory, wealth, prestige, power... None of this mattered to him anymore. He only had a single goal in mind, and he would pay any price to achieve it.

This was his purpose in life!

In that instant, a powerful aura suddenly burst forth from Wang Chong. It didn't come from the fifteen-year-old him, but the war god who dominated innumerable battlefields, the final Grand Marshal of the Central Plains!

In that instant, the entire Deflecting Blade Manor fell silent.

Seeing the words on the paper and the powerful disposition Wang Chong emanated, everyone fell into a momentary daze.

Even the Imperial Army guards were stunned for an instant.

The disposition that Wang Chong carried was simply too powerful. Even the foreign steel cavalry trembled in fear before the war god of the Central Plains, needless to say, these ordinary Imperial Army soldiers.

All of the guards, along with Zhao Jingdian, Zhuang Zhengping, Chi Weisi, Sun Zhiming, Chen Burang, and the others, trembled in fear, unable to utter a single word.

Nobody knew what was going on with Wang Chong, but the supreme authority that he commanded and the overwhelming majesty that he exuded was imprinted deeply into their minds.

This powerful might appeared for a split instant before disappearing without a trace. It was as if a massive glacier had shown the tip of its grandeur before submerging back into the ocean.

Wang Chong knew that this wasn't the time to reveal his other identity yet, so he quickly reined himself back.

Wang Chong turned to the old man who was invited here and said, ”Old mister, I'll be troubling you to help me paste this up.”

”Yes, gongzi.” The old man glanced at the two lines written on the paper, and a hint of commendation flashed across his eyes. He respectfully picked up Wang Chong's work and began to carefully paste it up.

Behind Wang Chong, the group finally awoke from their daze.

”Deflecting Blade Manor! A wonderful name!”

”It sure is fitting for a place such as this.”
