Chapter Eight Hundred and Eighty One – The Terrible State of Affairs
Pu Pu’s Home for Battle Generals was desolate. This place had long been forgotten by others. In the past, there would be many low-level battle generals that would come to learn and discuss but following Pu Pu’s disappearance, the popularity of the place faded.
No one came any longer.
Liang Wei was excited. Earlier today, Zuo Mo toldhim that Pu Pu was going to meet him. When he heard this, his strong heart couldn’t help but suddenly jump.
Unlike Fei Lei, while Liang Wei obeyed Zuo Mo’s orders, Zuo Mo was not where his loyalty lied. In his heart, two people held special spots. One was the commander of Ice Frost Military Corps, his former commander that had favored him, taught him, and promoted him.
The other person was the mysterious Pu Pu.
He had met Pu Pu at his most dispirited moment. He had been relieved of his duties and was idle at home. At that time, wherever he went, he could hear mockery and disdain. Only days before he had been his most glorious. Charging across ten thousand li to accomplish a great victory and help reclaim the honor for the yao.
To trip and fall from the most glorious and blinding place, so completely…
If he hadn’t had a strong personality, the suddenly change would have completely destroyed him. But even so, he had been demoviated, and at that time, he had found Pu Pu’s Home for Battle Generals, and he encountered Pu Pu.
An astoundingly powerful battle general!
He still remembered his shock and amazement. He could not understand why such a powerful battle general would appear in such a little corner of the Ten Finger Prison.
But after that, he started to learn how to fight from Pu Pu.
He started to find his own shortcomings. He greatly anticipated each fight with Pu Pu even though he would lose terribly each time.
From the terrible defeats, he quickly grew. He started to become steady, he started to break free from relying on his instincts to fight. He started to learn how to control large military campaigns, he started to learn strategy.
He became stronger and stronger. He could clearly feel it.
When Pu Pu gave him a chance to go back to the battlefield, to lead his own battalion, he still remembered the feeling of his blood suddenly burning up.
For Fei Lei, the reason he waited 10 years was because of his mission and sense of responsibility.
For Liang Wei, his reasons were because he thought of Pu Pu as a teacher. Even though Pu Pu had never admitted Liang Wei as his student, and he had never called Pu Pu Teacher.
When that familiar figure appeared in his view, Liang Wei’s heart suddenly jumped.
Pu Yao detected Liang Wei’s arrival. He turned around and showed a small smile. “Not bad, I did not pick the wrong person in the past.” Then he examined Liang Wei up and down. “It looks as though you are much more steady than before. The hardships of these years were not for nothing.”
Liang Wei’s mind was completely blank. His wolf-like gaze disappeared. He was like a clueless child.
Pu Yao saw Liang Wei’s excitement and said in a gentle voice with a smile, “Tell me about your recent situation.”
His gaze held pickiness, comfort, smugness. Liang Wei was another of his accomplished students. He could see that Liang Wei’s presence had changed compared to in the past. Long ago, he had a high opinion of Liang Wei. In his eyes, as long as the excessive viciousness and impulsiveness was suppressed by his intelligence, the perceptive and eager young battle general would shine with astounding light.
Pu Yao was very satisfied with Liang Wei. He had thought that an outstanding student like Gongsun Cha was once in a lifetime. He hadn’t expected to encounter another one. What made him even more proud was that the two had completely different styles, but they were both strong and had outstanding qualities.
Pu Yao was very comforted
–He had to show off to Wei later!
When he spoke about the experiences of the past years, Liang Wei quickly calmed down. In a low voice, he described what he had experienced.
Pu Yao became silent and the smile on his face disappeared. He hadn’t thought that the days would have been so difficult. Pu Yao said emotionally, “This was really difficult for you!”
Pu Yao’s words came from his heart. He knew that it was a simple matter to rely onthis group of people and not starve to death. However, it was an extremely difficult matter to maintain the regulation and discipline of a proper battalion.
Liang Wei’s heart warmed but he only smiled. “It actually was alright, Fei Lei did much more.”
Pu Yao looked at his accomplished student. After some thought, he said seriously, “You have to be careful, the journey will most likely not be peaceful!”
The smile on Liang Wei’s face disappeared. His expression turned serious. “Will people be against us?”
Suddenly, Sand Puppet rose from the ground and appeared in front of Shi.
“The Hai Xin Bing contingency plan failed. Worse is that Jia Man’s strongest commander, Richard, has sided with Hai Xin Bing. Almost all of Jia Man’s faction has sided with Hai Xin Bing,” Sand Puppet said.
“Oh, that’s normal. At this time, other than Hai Xin Bing, no one would dare to accept them.” Shi did not seem to care.
Sand Puppet looked at Shi’s expression and was slightly puzzled. “You are not worried?”
“Worried about what?” Shi smiled. “Do not underestimate Zuo Mo.”
“I am not underestimating him,” Sand Puppet shook his head. “No one qualifies to underestimate him. He was able to lead us out of the Sealed Extinction battlefield and then enter god-level in such a short amount of time. However, he is not familiar with this area. Hai Xin Bing’s factions is powerful. If he cannot defeat Hai Xin Bing quickly, the Nether Realm may descend into chaos, and your wish will not be completed.”
