Chapter 158: Really Sorry (2/2)

Su Yi handed over the martial notes to him just made up for this deficiency of Shiqi’s, which was even more valuable than the Xuan-grade middle-grade merit cultivation method.

Once the ten days were up, Shiqi prepared to leave for Cloud Capital CIty with a letter and four hundred men and three soldiers who were going to represent the military in the Southern Cloud Kingdom’s Elite Tournament.

Coming to this world for a few years, Chen Hao found that this world was not like what was written in mysterious fantasy novels, where various martial arts competitions were prevalent.

The martial competition was indeed important, families and clans would hold it internally, families and clans that have formed alliances would also hold exchanges, and even countries would hold …… but martial competitions held across countries were rare.

Even if it was held, it was only limited to a few countries within the alliance.

Between rival countries, between rival forces, almost would not hold any martial arts competition …… even if it was held, the enemy side of the kingdom did not dare to send people over.

Mmmmmm…… this was similar to the fact that in Chen Hao’s previous life, polar bears would not conduct military exercises with bald eagles. (*note: USSR vs. the USA)

The first time he went to the enemy country to compete, the road was far, in the ring, and it was impossible not to reveal the real name. After the competition, if there were some accidents, that was normal!

Even Lan Shiqi had done nasty things in the Lan family before attacking and killing geniuses of other families. Do not think that the demon path martial artists were the most dangerous!

This world’s most powerful, not the righteous, not the devil’s way, but those flexible in the righteous and the demon path to switch roles between the gray forces.

They were superficially righteous and harmless, but behind the scenes, they were vicious and cruel. Most people did not hate them, and they could use all means to seize the most benefits.

The four hundred soldiers that Shiqi brought with him were elite and good under him. Most of the remaining soldiers were still resting. Su Yi mentioned that when Shiqi comes back, the veteran soldiers he had will still be assigned to him.

This reveals an unmistakable signal, Shiqi was likely to be a real power general when he returns.

The Purple Thorn Army still hadn’t stopped recruiting soldiers, and he didn’t have to crowd other powerful generals’ positions.

In line with the principle that soldiers were valuable, only three soldiers represented the Purple Thorn Army in the Talent Competition.

Shiqi opened his mouth and said, “You three report your names, ages, and strengths!”

Shiqi was still curious about the geniuses of the Purple Thorn Legion. He had only joined the army not long ago and was not too clear about many things.

The first one to come forward was a strong, sturdy, black-faced man with a height of two meters, but he was still a small man in front of Shiqi!

“Your subordinate Zhou Zhenyong, eighteen years old, First Army Commander, strength peak of True Origin Realm!”

“You have comprehended the Killing Intent Realm?” Shiqi noticed him the first time he saw him. To be precise, he noticed the aura of the Killing Intent Realm on him.

Zhou Zhenyong replied, “Yes General!”

“Well, it’s not bad!”

Not bad, right?

If someone else evaluated him like this Zhou Zhenyong, he would definitely jump up and fight with the other party, but if it was Shiqi who evaluated him, he could only nod his head in agreement.

Compared to the young general in front of him, he was indeed nothing!

“Your subordinate Chen Xudong, eighteen years old, the third army thousand-man commander, strength late True Origin realm, comprehended the fire intent!”

“Your subordinate Chu Tianning, eighteen years old, Thousand-man Comamnder of the Fifth Army, late True Origin Realm, comprehended the Wind Intent!”

Then Chen Xudong and Chu Tianning similarly told about their comprehension of the realm of intent, and it could be seen that the three geniuses were secretly competing with each other!

Shiqi could see that the Great General was serious about selecting people. The Talent Competition required that martial artists not exceed eighteen, and three eighteen-year-old martial artists were just stuck on the age line.

The majority of the 150,000 soldiers of the Purple Thorn Army were civilian martial artists, but there would always be a few top-notch ones.
