"Sir, you should..."

"I told you, in two days, you can't understand human language, can you?!"

Sensing the anger in the other person's tone, Chen Sanshi dared not say anything more, obediently cupped his hands, and left the tent.

Wait two days?

I'm afraid it won't be two days later and then another two days.

By the time the ten-day assessment period ended, it was too late.

"Others are willing to teach even if they pay, but I'm not willing to teach even if I pay?"

Even a fool would know that they were being deliberately targeted.

Chen Sanshi has never offended anyone since joining the army, so why would anyone want to make trouble for him?

Two possibilities.

First, Qin Xiong's younger brother!

He was wearing a military uniform, so Qin Feng didn't dare to touch him. However, he was also afraid that Qin Feng might achieve something in martial arts, so he used this method to target him.

However, Qin Xiong's younger brother doesn't seem to have even become a true disciple, so he shouldn't have such great power and connections with the centurions.

Therefore, the second possibility is Luo Baihu.

Luo Baihu's nephew is currently ranked second in the speed of practicing stance training.

He was worried that he was taking away Song Yan's future.

That makes sense.

Chen Sanshi felt immense pressure.

Climbing up is truly an hurdle at every step!

"So, who taught you? I heard that Commander Liu was the most patient and the most cost-effective in teaching you."

Zhu Tong came over to inquire, and upon learning the result, he was furious: "What the hell? He took money but didn't teach?! I'm going to confront him!"

"Old Zhu, you can't go."

Xu Wencai advised, "This Brother Chen has probably offended someone!"

"This……"

Zhu Tong scratched his head: "Then what should we do? Among this group of people, Shi Tou is the fastest at practicing martial arts, so he should be the one to be selected!"

"Or should I teach you secretly? No one should know."

"Old Zhu, you really don't need to."

Chen Sanshi didn't want to implicate others.

Even though the others have breathing techniques, he is still the fastest person to practice stance training.

It's not necessarily hopeless.

With that in mind, he took a plum blossom spear from the orchid tree next to the training ground and began to practice.

"marksmanship?"

Zhu Tong was shocked: "Shi Tou, you've started practicing marksmanship?!"

Not only him, but everyone in the training ground was taken aback.

"fine!"

Zhu Tong said loudly, "Shi Tou is so powerful, and everyone isn't blind. If even one military officer sees him and reports it, some magistrate will surely be willing to value his talent."

Xu Wencai looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a child and shook his head slightly.

Obviously, this is not the case.

The adults weren't around, but there were quite a few small flags, though no one was planning to get involved.

Including Xu Bin, who was passing by.

As soon as he arrived at the military camp, he heard the clerk in the armory say that his fellow villager was a great archer and that he was likely to become a soldier. So he thought he would come and take a look.

Then, we see Chen Sanshi being targeted, unable to learn the breathing technique even after spending money.

"This kid has already offended someone as soon as he arrived."

Xu Bin glanced at the direction where Commander Qianhu usually worked, took a step in that direction, but quickly withdrew, sighed, and went home.

"Your second uncle! It has to be your second uncle!"

Zhu Tong grabbed Song Yan's collar: "It's your second uncle who's making things difficult for Shi Tou."

"I...I don't know!"

Song Yan's face flushed red: "I didn't tell my second uncle to do that!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Tong cursed, "In my opinion, there's no need for an assessment. Just give you the qualification to choose the benefits directly."

"I'm going to find my second uncle."

Song Yan broke free and ran straight out of the military camp.

Inside the tent, he found his uncle and voiced his question.

"how?"

Luo Baihu, who was sitting at his desk reading military books, looked up and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Looking into his nephew's clear eyes, he put down the military treatise and continued:

"I do have this plan, but let alone the fact that I haven't been promoted to deputy commander yet, even if I were promoted, the other centurions, especially Fatty Wang, wouldn't all be willing to listen to me."

"Actually, it was yesterday. Lord Qianhu sent us to cooperate with the martial arts school to search the whole city for the barbarian assassin. After it was over, the young master of Tianyuan Martial Arts School invited us to drink. At the dinner table, he mentioned that kid's name."

"God knows how he offended the martial arts school."

"Everyone has benefited from Tianyuan Martial Arts School for many years, so we should naturally give them face."

"This……"

Song Yan lowered his head: "Isn't this too unfair to him?"

"Your Highness..."

Luo Dongquan felt helpless about his naive nephew and put down the military book he was about to throw: "Yan'er, why do you care about others? Focus on your training to get the qualification to be selected as a vanguard. Entering the Governor's Mansion in the future is what you should be worried about!"

Do you even realize that without a master and a powerful family background, you'll never be able to wear the crimson robe embroidered with cranes! Joining Governor Sun's ranks is your only hope! Get out of here and don't bother me again.

……

Meanwhile, two or three centurions were gathered in Wang Baihu's tent.

"Hey Fatty Wang, you're ruthless enough."

Xiong Baihu joked, "It's one thing if you don't teach people, but why did you also take their money?"

"Hahaha, I'll treat the brothers to drinks later."

Wang Zhi was very pleased with himself.

"but……"

Liu Baihu said in a deep voice, "I remember that Chen Sanshi, he seems to be the fastest in this batch of people to practice stance training. It's a pity that such a good seedling was wasted."

"When has the army ever lacked good prospects? I learned stance training in just one day and one night back then."

Wang Zhi scoffed, “What the army lacks are true geniuses. Half a day of stance training and three days of marksmanship are what make them worth training.”

"That's true. After all, in our desolate place, if we give more resources to others, we'll have less for ourselves."

Liu Baihu stroked his chin: "But if this kid isn't up to par, I reckon the selection spot will fall to Luo Baihu's nephew. If he can really be selected into the elite of the Eight Great Camps, he might be able to get Luo Baihu over there in the future, and that would be a real meteoric rise!"

"Speaking of which, Fatty Wang, if you could bring along a genius, you might be able to return to the Eighth Camp. You wouldn't be content to stay in this wretched place for the rest of your life, would you?"

"I'd love to, but where the hell am I supposed to find a genius?"

Wang Zhi toyed with the silver ingot in his hand, thus ending the conversation.

……

A martial arts arena.

Chen Sanshi began practicing his marksmanship.

With his exceptional memory, he seemed to have a slideshow in his mind, which could play the scenes of Wang Baihu demonstrating his marksmanship on a loop.

Standing meditation is already very physically demanding.

Adding the gun technique to the mix, Chen Sanshi suddenly felt as if his internal strength had been drained by a water pump. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and managed to persevere.

Every time he swung the plum blossom spear, his heart would race, his lungs would feel tight and uncomfortable, as if he had reached his limit while running, and he would taste blood in his throat.

Breathing techniques are most likely used as an aid, to alleviate pain and accelerate the cultivation process.

but!

If it's just an auxiliary technique, it means that even without breathing techniques, it's not impossible to learn the complete shooting technique.

It simply means having to endure more suffering than others.

As for speed, as long as you are fast enough, it's not a big deal to slow down a bit.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!

Chen Sanshi gritted his teeth and continued to swing the iron spear in his hand.
