C8 Xue Rengui

After watching Xue Rengui leave, Zhu Houzhao returned to his room and began to cultivate. After all, this world was a superb fusion world. If one's strength was insufficient, they would be killed sooner or later.

He sat down cross-legged and held the seal with both hands. His inner force started to circulate slowly from his Dantian. Then, he started to circulate his inner force over and over again according to the circulation route of the Emperor's inner scripture.

At this point, Zhu Houzhao had just opened his Ren Meridian, and he believed that his hard work and continuous cultivation would soon be enough to open his Du Meridian. At that time, his strength would have another qualitative improvement.

As Zhu Houzhao continued to cultivate, the system's beep kept ringing in his mind. After operating for a period of time, his proficiency in the cultivation technique had increased. Zhu Houzhao would listen to the system's prompt and continue practicing.

"..."

The imperial guards' training field!

At this moment, the ten thousand soldiers of the imperial guards had already gathered here after receiving Zhu Hou's royal decree.

"Let us announce His Majesty's decree again. This time, we will promote Xue Rengui to become a thousand member of the imperial guards. We will form the tenth thousand-member residence and select the personnel from your imperial guards. If there's anyone who doesn't cooperate, then it would be dishonoring the king!" The young eunuch's sharp voice spread throughout the entire martial arts practice field.

"Who's Xue Rengui? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

"This Xue Rengui is really lucky to be favored by His Majesty!"

As soon as the sharp voice fell, the entire Martial Arts Practice Field became noisy. Countless soldiers started whispering to each other, discussing Xue Rengui.

"Silence!" The general of the imperial guards didn't look too happy. When he heard the commotion, he immediately shouted.

He had nine thousand men under his command, and each of them were his trusted aides. This time, Zhu Houzhao had promoted a thousand men, and this Xue Rengui was not his man, but Gao Lian seemed to know that the Emperor was going to reorganize the imperial guards, so he looked a little embarrassed.

"Xue Qianhu, please!" The eunuch spoke to Xue Rengui humbly.

The emperor had broken the rules to promote Xue Rengui. This showed that the emperor was appreciative of Xue Rengui. Even though they were not trying to befriend him at the moment, their attitude and goodwill might be of great use in the future.

"Thank you, Eunuch!" Xue Rengui spoke politely before slowly walking to the edge of the stage with steady steps.

"I, Xue Moyan, have received Your Majesty's appreciation and have been promoted to the 10th clan. I hope that those who have not been chosen will not mind, and they will all work together to serve Your Majesty in the future. At the same time, I thank everyone and General Gao for their support!" Xue Rengui loudly said.

With the support of his inner force, his voice spread throughout the entire training field. Everyone on the field could clearly hear it!

"Xue Qianhu, you're welcome!"

"They are all here to share His Majesty's burdens!"

Gao Lian and the other nine thousand man captains laughed heartily as they spoke.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Xue Rengui jumped off the high platform.

Boom!

He landed steadily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. A gentle breeze blew past and the smoke dispersed!

After landing on the ground, Xue Rengui slowly walked in front of the nine square formations. His eyes swept across the area at the same time. Since he was a child, he had been familiar with the art of war and naturally knew what a good soldier was.

"You! You! You two! "

"..."

Xue Rengui started picking. After two hours, the thousand people had been picked and lined up separately. They seemed to be more spirited than the other arrays!

The soldiers Xue Rengui had chosen were all strong, muscular, and tall, with gleaming eyes. Their arms were too long and their waists and shoulders were broad!

Apart from the ones he was familiar with, he had heard of them in the imperial guards. As for the trusted aides of the thousand, Xue Rengui wouldn't choose them no matter how powerful they were.

"Hiss!" When they saw the people Xue Rengui had chosen, the nine thousand man captains sucked in a breath of cold air. All of them were elite soldiers!

"This Yu Xue's eyes are quite sharp!" Gao Lian said in a low voice.

"General, should we show him some colors?" A Qian Hu asked in a low voice!

"Let's wait and see!" Gao Lian said in a low voice. Strength was respected in the army, and Xue Rengui's sudden rise in status meant that the other soldiers definitely wouldn't accept it. Gao Lian wanted to see how Xue Rengui was going to subdue these proud soldiers.

Indeed!

I, Xue, have only joined the army for a few months, and have been promoted by chance. Brothers, I'm sure that you all have thought that I have taken a detour, but I can guarantee that my actions will take me through the back door, and military strength will always be respected. If you brothers do not agree, then please come up on stage, I will naturally accompany you, and I promise that I will not cause any trouble in the future! Xue Rengui's voice sounded as he leapt onto the high platform, waiting for the challenge!

Hearing Xue Rengui's words, the people of the Tenth Thousand House began to converse in a low voice. Some of them were eager to give it a try, but none of them wanted to be the first to come up.

"No one came up?" Xue Rengui asked again a moment later!

"This is a rare opportunity. If no one challenges you, then Xue Rengui will be the tenth thousand-man commander of the imperial guards. In the future, all of you will listen to Xue Qianhu!"

As Xue Rengui finished his sentence, Lu Qihu said with a smile.

If Zhu Houzhao were here, he would have discovered that the generals of the imperial guards were basically controlled by the most trusted subordinates and confidantes of the Water Progenitor's world.

"I'm Li Yong."

"Alright, come up. Anyone else can come up." At this time, Xue Rengui spoke again. In order to establish his might, he had to fight against many enemies by himself. Only then would he be able to display his strength.

As Xue Rengui's voice fell, five more soldiers came up one after another.

"Let's attack together." Seeing that there were no more challengers, Xue Rengui spoke to the six of them.

These six people all had the strength of second-rate pinnacle. However, in Xue Rengui's eyes, they were nothing.

"Qian Hu, sorry for offending you!" Li Yong and the other six people cupped their fists in salute before dispersing in all directions, encircling Xue Rengui in the middle.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The six of them raised their spears and pointed them at Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui took out his halberd from behind him and held his breath, waiting for them to enter the palace.

Boom!

After a moment, the six soldiers moved. They infused their inner strength into their long spears, stabbing towards Xue Rengui. Their spears were as fast as lightning, and spear shadows enveloped the area.

Xue Rengui was even faster. He brandished his halberd, creating gusts of wind. The crowd only saw a shadow appear before them, then their hands lightened.

It turned out that Xue Rengui had directly cut off their weapons.

"Puff puff puff!"

While everyone was still in a daze, Xue Rengui's halberd was placed on the ground. His entire body was floating in the air, with the halberd as the center, he spun around and at the same time, kicked out nonstop.

The six were kicked in the chest and sent flying.

The match was over in an instant. Xue Rengui had won perfectly.

"What?" The six people could not believe it and were shocked.

Gao Lian, Lu Qian, and the others were also surprised by Xue Rengui's strength.

"Are there any more challenges?" Xue Rengui's tiger-like eyes glared as he swept his gaze over the Tenth Thousand House. Under his gaze, the crowd lost their courage to challenge them. Li Yong's group of six were usually stronger. They had all failed, so the others naturally didn't have the courage to challenge them.

At this moment, there was only a thousand-man army, and they were all looking at Xue Rengui with a surging fighting spirit.
