As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present revealed envious expressions!
Chen Feng, hearing this from the side, felt happy for Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan quickly cupped his fist in salute, "Thank you, Centurion!"
Yang Tianfeng laughed heartily and patted Wang Xuan's shoulder.
"Perform well, and I hope you won't disappoint me!"
"As for the matter of joining the camp next, Chen Feng, you handle it!"
Chen Feng immediately cupped his fist, "Yes, sir!"
After Yang Tianfeng left, the entire training ground instantly became lively.
Many soldiers from the Archery Battalion came forward to greet Wang Xuan, and Wang Xuan responded with a smile.
These people would be his colleagues and companions in battle in the future, so he naturally wouldn't offend them easily.
However, Wang Xuan also noticed that some people were watching him coldly from a distance, their expressions not looking good.
Especially some of the Banner Officers wearing armor, their eyes were filled with coldness.
After Wang Xuan greeted everyone, he couldn't help but ask Chen Feng, "Brother Feng, why do those guys over there look at me with such strange eyes?"
Hearing this, Chen Feng glanced at the Banner Officers of the Archery Battalion not far away and explained, "It's normal, they're just jealous!"
"You don't know, the position of Banner Officer in the Archery Battalion is highly sought after!"
"The benefits are at least twice as good as those of Banner Officers in other camps!"
"The number of Banner Officers in each camp is fixed. If you join the Archery Battalion and become a Banner Officer, then someone will definitely be squeezed out!"
"If it were you, would you be happy?"
Hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Wang Xuan immediately understood.
"So that's how it is."
Wherever there are people, there is strife. Once it involves one's own interests, the strife becomes even more obvious.
Chen Feng put one hand on Wang Xuan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry about them, anyway, they're the ones who should be worried, not you!"
Wang Xuan nodded.
"Let's go, I'll take you to register and report first, and by the way, I'll tell you about the military camp!"
Then, the two left the Archery Battalion and went to the place where new recruits registered in the military camp.
With Chen Feng's guidance, Wang Xuan quickly completed the registration of the new recruit.
"Brother Feng, what exactly is the assessment for the new recruit camp, is it very difficult?"
Wang Xuan suddenly asked.
Chen Feng immediately explained, "The assessment for the new recruit camp is actually not difficult for you, it can only be regarded as a formality."
"As for the content of the assessment, it's very simple, that is, to cultivate the army's basic cultivation technique. If you can master it within seven days, you can become a Martial Soldier."
"You are already a martial artist, and your Blood Essence is abundant. Seven days is definitely enough to cultivate the army's basic cultivation technique. As for what level you can reach, it depends on your talent."
Wang Xuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"Then if I don't pass the assessment, will I be eliminated?"
Chen Feng continued, "That's not the case. If you don't pass, you will become an ordinary soldier, which is basically cannon fodder."
"You get three hundred coins a month. Although the salary is not high, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you can also subsidize your family."
"As for archers, even the most ordinary archers must be martial artists at the bullhide level, and they get one tael of silver per month."
"Not to mention the Banner Officers above, who get ten taels a month, so many people want to join the Archery Battalion, but it's too difficult."
Hearing this, Wang Xuan also understood why those Banner Officers of the Archery Battalion had such a big opinion of him.
Ten taels of silver a month!
Enough to meet the living needs of ordinary people for half a year!
"Of course, the basic assessment of the new recruit camp is not what you should be worried about. What you should pay attention to is the special assessment!"
"Special assessment, what's that?"
Wang Xuan frowned.
Chen Feng explained with a solemn expression, "Special assessment, as the name suggests, is more difficult, but once you pass the assessment, the treatment will be completely different!"
"For example, if a new recruit passes the ordinary assessment, he will become a Martial Soldier and start to be promoted from a common soldier, just like me. It took me two years to become a Banner Officer."
"But if you pass the special assessment, you can be said to be a reserve Banner Officer. It is possible to become a Chief Standard Bearer or a Company Commander in the future!"
"The army will cultivate you doubly, and both resources and cultivation techniques will be different from ordinary soldiers!"
"Centurion Yang told you just now that he hopes you will pass the new recruit assessment. Strictly speaking, it should be the special assessment!"
"If you don't pass it, although the Centurion will still promote you to be a Banner Officer, the degree of importance he attaches to you will probably be very ordinary."
"But if you pass the special assessment, with your current martial arts strength and archery skills, the Centurion will definitely focus on cultivating you!"
"With Centurion's cultivation, not to mention a Banner Officer, even a Chief Standard Bearer or Company Commander might be possible!"
Hearing this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but nod.
The special assessment was, in essence, prepared for the geniuses of the recruit camp.
The army wouldn't allow geniuses to be affected by resources, cultivation methods, and other factors.
Wang Xuan nodded emphatically. "I understand, Brother Feng."
"I'll do my best."
Chen Feng put his arm around Wang Xuan's shoulders and laughed. "Don't be stressed. Your brother believes in you!"
"I'm really looking forward to the day you become a Company Commander. That way, I'll have someone to rely on in the army, and I can swagger around."
Wang Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Let's go, let's go to the county town to buy some things."
"Then let's go home together!"
Whitestone Town.
Zhou Estate.
"You good-for-nothing!"
"You can't even handle a small matter. What use are you to me!"
Zhou Bapi looked furious at this moment, slapping Manager Qian across the face and knocking him to the ground.
The latter's face was swollen like a pig's head.
However, Manager Qian didn't dare to resist, and could only kneel and beg for mercy. "Master, it's really not that I'm incompetent."
"Who knew that little bastard would actually gain the appreciation of the Centurion in the county town, and even have the money to pay taxes!"
"That Banner Officer who killed Hou Feng yesterday was also there, and I didn't dare to forcibly take action and bring him back!"
Manager Qian felt very wronged.
He couldn't be blamed for what happened today. Who knew that Wang Xuan, a commoner from the mountains, would actually gain the appreciation of the Centurion in the county town!
And he didn't know where he got the money to pay off his debts.
Zhou Bapi's chest heaved violently with anger, and he raised his foot to kick Qian Tong again, but stopped in mid-air and lowered his leg!
"What bad luck!"
Zhou Bapi also knew that Manager Qian couldn't be blamed for what happened today. It was purely that little bastard from the Wang Family was lucky.
"But speaking of which, how did that little bastard get noticed by the Centurion?"
Zhou Bapi calmed down and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
A hunter who hunted in the mountains was suddenly favored by the Centurion and brought to the county town's military camp. He couldn't figure out the reason.
"Master, could it be... because of Hou Feng?"
Manager Qian reminded him at this time.
Zhou Bapi's eyes narrowed.
"You're right. If Hou Feng's death is related to that little bastard, that would explain it."
"Could it be... this kid has become a Martial Soldier?"
Zhou Bapi frowned even deeper.
"Then what should we do now, Master?"
"The Blood Sacrifice is still missing a key person. If we use a substitute, I'm afraid..."
Before Manager Qian could finish speaking, Zhou Bapi interrupted him, saying, "The Blood Sacrifice must not go wrong!"
"As long as we can complete the Blood Sacrifice, I will be able to break through to the Dragon Serpent Realm in one fell swoop, and even the Entangling Serpent Realm is not impossible!"
"As for the sacrifice..."
"Anyway, we'll leave here after the Blood Sacrifice!"
"Qian Tong, tonight you take people to bring back that sacrifice, even if you have to kill that little bastard!"
"As long as you bring the person back, we'll start the Blood Sacrifice immediately, so even if the people from the army find out, it will be too late!"
Hearing the words "Blood Sacrifice," a strong sense of surprise and fervor surged in Manager Qian's eyes!
"Yes, Master!"
"I will definitely not fail this time!"
