Chapter 294: Determination! (1/2)

Chapter 294: Detera

The Xuan Qi cultivation within the ranks of these soldiers wasn’t very high The best a the majority were at the Silver Xuan realth had reached ‘hair-raising’ levels!

Fifty men stood in a row a little distance away They had their hands to their sides in the ‘horse’ stance[1] They stood like that at the foot of the wall Beside each man that stood in that stance was another one who held a stick in his hands Each nash his teeth and brandish his stick with a ‘whipping’ sound He’d hit each and every part of the man who stood in the stance The sound of i a rahide However, none of the ns of pain on their face Perhaps one's face would twitch a little, or htly However, they didn’t show any other outward signs apart fros

They staunchly reet beaten hundreds of times Then, the men would pant heavily as they’d rise from the horse stance They then stretched their neck, wrists and ankles in exercise This would give rise to a loud ”Pop!” The noise was similar to the one that is issued when a firecracker is burst Then, they’d take-over the wooden sticks And thethe to their sides Their on's

The sharp ‘whistling’ sounds would be resu beaten and those ere doing the beating — had switched places

A coiven after they had finished their rounds Then, the total of these hundredfield in two orderly groups The two groups would stand panting on the field where the previous group had been ordered to fight hand-to-hand The two groups that had been fighting in the field would neatly organize theroups, and would proceed to the foot of the wall Then, they’d beat their partner… and then get beaten theiven, and the hundred men who had just taken the field would co would hit a vital point; pit of the stomach, the throat, the tes, behind the knee every critical joint

The scene was hard to iine as it is But ould it take to withstand such a bitter beating again and again? However, the otten used to it They could resist each and every hit They would try to pick-out each and every possible crack in their opponent's defence And if they fell into a trap — they’d try their hardest totheir skin thick…

Occasionally, one person would hit their opponent on the nose This would cause a long streaush-out However, their expression wouldn’t change; they’d re …As if the man they had hit wasn’t their comrade… but their enemy

Then, there would be a whistle The et dressed, and line-up beside the pond Meanwhile, the men on the field would stop, make their way to the pond in an orderly fashi+on, and enter the pool after undressing

The men who had just exited the pool would then start with an even harsher training They wouldn’t fight one-on-one this tioes’ between the two groups Maybe at one point it was one person taking on another one… ora single person

An individual could be surrounded by roup that surrounded another individual the next The chaos of the scene was spectacular and indescribable Many-a-tiround, and being ferociously stamped-on the pit of his stomach and his lower abs Then, the nextthe people that surrounded hion and the ferociousness of a tiger in this crazy battle

In the entire course of events — besides the bossy battle-commands, and the war-cries — no one would open theirelse They spoke using their fists, their legs, their elbows and even their shoulders

The three groups of men were cycled in thisthe role of their co partners However, this was o Xuan Qi training in the evening This training session would be acco eventhe daytinash their teeth and put their very soul and consciousness into the training They only had one ai Master's standards!] This was because the Young Master had told them that their final inspection was upon them They would be removed from the squad if they were to fail the assessned to residence guards and kitchen staff!

after tasting the sweetness of steady and rapid progress …after seeing a clear hope of beco a powerful expert …none of them wanted to return to their forrave shame for them!

These steeled troops were like phoenixes that had attained nirvana after a deadly ordeal, and were noaiting to take for and ruthless as he oversaw the harsh training on the field His posture was calm and steady

He didn’t intend to stop at that He would use his unique hest liths The medicine would show its best results then, and everyone’s efficacy would shoot up!

Jun Mo Xie would assign these troops the specific task of ‘slaughter’ in the future Just slaughter! Uninterrupted slaughter! Unending slaughter!

Grandpa Jun and Jun Wu Yi stood side-by-side on top of the high-tower of the Jun Residence Their eyebroitched for aplace below

“Wu Yi, you see the training he’s giving them… what do you think he plans to do with them? Why would he train them like this?” Grandpa Jun vision see would make these soldiers the master of the enemy combatant’s life! They soldiers may or may not be able to defeat the ene with a sole purpose in reedy expression on his face It was only natural that any General would wish to covet such troops after he had laid his eyes on them In fact, it would’ve been extremely absurd if Jun Wu Yi didn’t feel envious of this squad’s abilities

Such a squad would be a part of any General’s dreaet three hundred — even a hundred of these soldiers could make a General’s army unstoppable That ar would be able to stop such an arhthter…!” Jun Zhan Tian looked anxious “Even if they are being trained to slaughter… the ihter, and for what reason they’d slaughter for? This question is very important when you keep the other people of this country in your perspective…”

“This child would beg to differ from his father’s words; this child believes that no ht for only one person!” Jun Wu Yi lowered his gaze coldly, “These three hundred ht only for Mo Xie; for Mo Xie and the Jun Family! The future of our Jun Family rests on Mo Xie’s shoulders So, what importance would the other people of this country hold?”

“This kind of strength…” Grandpa Jun didn’t seem any less worried, “will attract a lot of jealousy and suspicion once it’s revealed to the people!”

“Jealousy and suspicions? Why?” Jun Wu Yi’s eyes narrowed A sharp and cold ray of light passed through them, “When has the Jun Family ever been involved in misconducts? And hasn’t the Jun Family always supported the people?”

Jun Wu Yi’s line of thought was beginning to get influenced by Jun Mo Xie’s He didn’t sound like hihed [Did I really ht decisions in those days? Our Jun Family’s talent has withered… should I also take on some responsibilities?]

“Ah, with Jun Mo Xie… our Jun Family will rise quickly! No poill be able to hold us back! I’m confident about this fact!” Jun Wu Yi then turned his neck to look at the tussle taking place on the training field He then slowly continued, “However, we need tith! And noe already have a prototype of that strength!” Jun Wu Yi clenched his fists The sounds of his joints’ ‘clicking’ echoed

“Didn’t that little brat Mo Xie say that he’d oversee this training? So, why can’t I even see his shadow?” Grandpa Jun looked around

“The training of these men doesn’t require anyone’s supervision,” Jun Wu Yi stated His eyes were full of ad levels! And as for Jun Mo Xie… I don’t knohere he is or what he’s up to However, we shouldn’t try to control him He can take care of himself We shouldn’t worry about hiive him a free hand”

“You think that we shouldn’t worry about hi like an Uncle should This isn’t enough Mo Xie isn’t that young anye?”

“Weren’t you the one to witness his ‘growth’ that day? So, hoould I know if he’s old enough to take a wife yet…? By the way, how’s his asset, good enough?” Jun Wu Yi asked in a lofty ood; in fact, he has surpassed this old on fro! Do you want a spanking?!” Grandpa Jun suddenly came to himself and raised his hand He desired to teach his son a lesson

The Third Master chuckled, “Why are you angry, dad? Aren’t you happy that Mo Xie has grown up? It’s just that when it coe… he’ll certainly take his time to make a decision However, if you plan to force hi he doesn’t want to… I won’t have any objections Rather, I’d be glad to see it happen”

[Facingan arht about it He realized that he ainst his will in the most trivial of e…

“That little Dugu girl is good to Mo Xie, and I see that Mo Xie also finds her interesting Is there anyone else? I can’t stand that girl for Mo Xie!” Jun Zhan Tian asked; he see dignified about this The father and son had started to create a harerandson/nephew

“Apart fro Lake Maybe there’s someone there…” Jun Wu Yi winked

Jun Zhan Tian almost fainted He had to use his hand to support hi else besides that?”

“I re Han…” Jun Wu Yi dashed-pass and flew-out the openthethose words Even his shadow didn’t linger behind He knehat awaited hier

“You bastard! Get out froe However, he realized that his son had already disappeared without a trace So, he had no choice but to open his eyes wide, stamp his feet and roar down the tower However, he suddenly stopped his roar in between, and started to ponder pensively…

“Would our Jun Fah and shook his head “That’s absurd! That’s completely absurd!” The Old Man had no other words apart from “Absurd”

Jun Mo Xie was on the side-lines of the training field when he heard the faint sound of his grandfather’s roar He couldn’t help but be nited the fire this ti Master Jun was unaware that he was the reason behind his grandfather’s anger… even though he was entirely innocent in reality

Jun Mo Xie’s body disappeared fro field without a trace

Jun Mo Xie looked at the sky and figured that it would night soon His heart was full of anticipation He was about to deal with a lot of iht

First was that accessory worn by Silver Blizzard City’s Xiao Feng Wu It was indeed a spectacular item How could an ordinary piece of jewelry invoke such a response fro Master Jun was unaware of that accessory’s origins However, it didn’t matter whether he knew about it or not He had nevertheless devised a plan, and was quite certain of returning with that item

Next — was the assassination of his assassin! Jun Mo Xie had the highest level of interest in that matter

Not only did Jun Mo Xie like that hly approved of them

That person didn’t even look back after his head-on strike didn’t bear fruit Instead, he escaped far and wide And he didn’t do a sloppy job at that either The man left behind no trace This was the same technique which the Hit-man Jun had employed in his previous life This man was the only one Jun Mo Xie could consider a true ‘assassin’ in this world The other groups of assassins he had confronted in this world were no ood Xuan experts

[Did they possess an assassin’s style?]

[Those people don’t deserve the tag of an ‘assassin’!]

Moreover, that assassin was in possession of an extre-ability would shoot-up like a ind if he were able to obtain that skill Then, he could even hope to kill a Spirit Xuan expert by staging an ambush for the same

[There must be some ness till he approached his own sht stopped and he stared blankly in confusion upon seeing two figures up-ahead

There were two figures at the entrance of his courtyard They were sround; their backs were straight It was i like this However, they seehed as his deure sloalked past the theHua Hall The rest of the children had been re-located to good places However, these two children had refused to leave for the life of them They only desired to learn the skills they’d need to extract their revenge

Their disabilities couldn’t be regarded as ‘very serious’ However, they were both ues had been cut into half They would never speak again Moreover, one of them had only one arm left

It wasn’t that Jun Mo Xie’s heart hadn’t been moved by their perseverance However, he had reluctantly rejected the willpower, and their hatred towards their enemy would also be helpful However, their aptitude wasof the fact that they had beco Hua Hall hadn’t abandoned the prospect of their cultivation for no reason

Jun Mo Xie had whole-heartedly considered training the two children at one point He figured that he could use his harsh training nificant progress in just over a decade as long as they illing to endure the cruel training and have an old-fashi+oned ‘baptis the Earth Xuan realre An ordinary person would struggle his whole life to attain it It was a very high goal for an ordinary person to look up to However, this target had noMaster and these kids

However, could Jun Mo Xie afford to train the and rehabilitation Moreover, it would be a great waste if their progress were to stop at the Earth Xuan real time, and had then decided that the prospect of their cultivation wasn’t worth the effort

Moreover, their strong desire for revenge wouldn’t help in reaping any short-ternificance

Jun Mo Xie sympathized with them In fact, he secretly praised their will-power But, he had realized that it wasn’t meant to be

However, those two children were seen kneeling outside his courtyard ever since he had refused to train them They could not speak, but their eyes would implore Jun Mo Xie whenever they’d see him

It was already the ninth day since they had been kneeling at the entrance of his courtyard

Their slender bodies trembled as they heard the fahtened their backs evenposition

The Young Master Jun sighed as he sloalked to stand in front of them “Look up and look at me!” his voice was a command they couldn’t defy

Their bodies trembled as they looked up to face Jun Mo Xie in accordance with his command

Jun Mo Xie was startled Those two e However, their eyes no longer showed the saency of the past few days That expression had been replaced by deathly stillness

However, it wasn’t exactly an empty sort of deathly stillness Rather, it was one where they had disregarded life and death; it was the deathly still of an individual who had disregarded the mortal world

That ‘deathly stillness’ wasn’t synonyhed inside [These are the eyes of a top-notch killer] One could only bring-out this expression in their eyes once they had been oppressed to an extreun to consider human life as worthless In fact, such people considered their own life to be worthless

If their natural endow as it was even a little bit better — Jun Mo Xie would’ve accepted them without hesitation However, he was helpless at that point of time Their natural endowht’ and 99 ‘sweat’ to becoht’ was the key It was99 ‘sweat’

“Tell me your reasons! Show me the extent of your determination!” Jun Mo Xie’s heart felt pity These two children had suffered a lot A nor Their hearts were filled with hatred towards their enemy, but they didn’t have any aptitude to practice h

Determination?
