Time never lingered; the seasons flowed like water.
Once he shut himself away, time passed especially quickly.
In the blink of an eye, another twenty days had gone by.
The weather in the northern border grew ever colder.
Fortunately, after the pay increase, the soldiers of Poyang Thousand Households Command had money in hand and did not have to suffer the cold.
On the Training Ground.
Chen Sanshi was sparring with General Flag Fang.
Only when the sparring partner stood a whole realm above him would the training be effective.
General Flag Fang, who had been brimming with confidence, looked exceedingly grim before five exchanges had even passed.
The hell was this Minor Accomplishment in Blood Refining?
Strength, speed, endurance—which of them was inferior to his?
It should be said that he was far stronger than General Flag Fang, who had already achieved major accomplishment in Blood Refining!
By the tenth exchange, General Flag Fang had barely held on. The tiger's mouth of his knife-wielding right hand had split open, blood pouring incessantly from it. His arm had gone numb and stiff, and he had nearly forgotten how to use the saber techniques he had learned.
Soldiers crowded around to watch, most of them his own subordinates.
Seeing that he was about to be unable to hold on, General Flag Fang hurriedly said, "No more! A draw, a draw!"
Chen Sanshi withdrew his spear. "Thank you for your guidance, General Flag Fang."
General Flag Fang hid his trembling right hand behind his back. "Kid, you're about to reach major accomplishment in Blood Refining, aren't you?"
"Within the next few days."
Chen Sanshi did not deny it.
