But during this process, his marksmanship skills also increased rapidly.

"The Undying Golden Serpent?"

Sun Li recognized the marksmanship: "Junior Brother is really not bad. He has mastered the Undying Golden Serpent technique, yet his speed and strength have not diminished at all, hmm?"

"Dang-dang-dang-dang-"

The boy didn't speak, nor did he intend to stop. He focused on training his marksmanship, treating her as a living training dummy.

"..."

Helpless, Sun Li could only continue wielding her sword to deal with the increasingly rapid spear attacks.

Her knife was shaped like a rice seedling knife, with a long, blood-red mark in the middle of the blade. When she swung it, the blade flashed, like a fiery red lotus blooming in mid-air.

Under the moonlight, a silver snake and a lotus flower.

A thoroughly enjoyable training session lasted until late at night.

"are not you tired?"

Sun Li began to regret agreeing to be her sparring partner.

It's been an hour.

What martial artist who has mastered the art of blood cultivation has such stamina?

"We can practice a little longer."

Chen Sanshi's moves remained as sharp as ever.

Another half hour passed before he finally stopped.

[Technique: Undying Golden Serpent Spear - Part 1 (Beginner)]

【Progress: 88/100】

[Effect: Blood of the Dragon and Elephant]

Getting closer and closer.

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister Sun!"

Chen Sanshi ate quite a lot of bear heart that evening and was still a little unsatisfied, but he could tell that Senior Sister Sun wanted to rest, so he didn't continue and went back to his room to rest.

"call!"

Sun Li wouldn't suffer from qi and blood depletion, given the vast difference in their cultivation levels.

She's been traveling through the night for the past few days and is very tired.

Sheathing her sword, Sun Li lay down on the bed in the guest room, pondering the current situation in Poyang County.

“Father is right, His Majesty has indeed sent people.”

"There are reports in the court that His Majesty recently met secretly with barbarian envoys."

"It's not surprising to see the envoy at this critical juncture, but the fact that he's acting so furtively is clearly suspicious."

"Is it related to the Witch God Cult?"

"I wonder how Sun Buqi's investigation is going."

"Forget it, let's take it slow. We'll just have to wait until spring anyway."

After several days of arduous travel, she was already exhausted.

Just as I was about to close my eyes to rest, I heard indescribable sounds coming from the direction of the master bedroom in the main house of the courtyard.

"..."

Doesn't he feel tired?

-

Two days later.

Chen Sanshi habitually gets up early to practice shooting.

Sun Li has been staying at his home these days.

But he left early and returned late every day, rarely saw anyone, and never found another opportunity to train with someone.

After breakfast, Chen Sanshi went to the military camp to clock in for work.

Many people greeted him along the way.

He managed over a hundred people, making him more than a hundred-household commander. Apart from Xiang Tingchun, no one in the thousand-household garrison could control him.

"I wonder how many elite soldiers and how many battle soldiers will emerge after the recruit assessment period ends."

Chen Sanshi called over the old scholar: "Xu Wencai, gather everyone together."

"okay!"

About ten minutes later, the soldiers gradually arrived, many of them still yawning.

'We need to take the time to properly supervise them; we can't let them continue to be so undisciplined.'

Chen Sanshi frowned slightly: "Zhu Tong, lead them to practice stance training for an hour first."

"it is good!"

Zhu Tong did as instructed.

Chen Sanshi practiced shooting alongside him, occasionally stopping to rest and personally instructing those whose movements were off. He had been training them in this way for some time now.

Finally, the panel fluctuated.

[Skill: Commanding Troops (Beginner)]

【Progress: 0/500】

[Effect: Backbone]

[Core Leadership: Wherever the commander-in-chief is, all soldiers will remain calm and composed in the face of danger!]

Looking at the explanation of "backbone" on the panel, Chen Sanshi quickly understood the effect of the term.

Remain calm in times of danger.

Four simple words, seemingly unremarkable.

In fact.

If any army in the world wants to become a fierce and powerful force, the first quality it must possess can be summed up in these four words!

Chen Sanshi understood this point when he studied military strategy books.

What's the use of an army, no matter how well-equipped it is, if it trembles at the sight of the enemy?

There are also military formations.

No matter how exquisite the military formations trained in peacetime are, they can never unleash their full power if one cannot remain calm and composed in the face of danger.

Most ancient armies would collapse if their casualty rate exceeded 20%.

Chen Sanshi had heard Xu Wencai say that the reason why the Eight Great Camps were so invincible was that they could maintain their formation even when half of them were killed or wounded, and remain in formation even in dire straits.

Half the casualties did not lead to a rout—what a terrifying statistic!

In the fifty-seventh year of the Longqing reign, the Battle of Xuanwu Camp took place in the south. It is said that they had the opportunity to retreat, but they chose to face the difficulties head-on and fight to the last man.

Of course, some people would survive, but since it is recorded this way, it means that at least 90% of them really died in battle.

They must have their own beliefs.

Chen Sanshi's ability to serve as the backbone of the soldiers means that sooner or later an elite force will be built.

The prefect surnamed Ji caused him trouble.

Isn't it because he's easy to bully?

One factor is their own strength, and another is their lack of power.

He doesn't need many men; even if he has a thousand loyal followers, who would dare to provoke him?

After the morning drills, Chen Sanshi went to the shooting range to practice archery.

While prioritizing martial arts training, he strives to master every skill.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

The 15-stone bow produced a deafening roar with each arrow that struck its target, causing the targets made of straw rope to fall one after another.

[Skill: Archery (Minor Mastery)]

Progress: (205/1000)

It is worth noting that although his proficiency level did not advance, his archery skills did not stagnate.

Now, Chen Sanshi can shoot an arrow through a willow tree from within 150 paces.

With a precise range of 150 paces, nearly 200 meters, it is many times more powerful than an ordinary pistol.

"Chirp—"

A loud cry rang out overhead as two eagles flew over the firing range.

Chen Sanshi used it as practice material and also sold it for some money.

Two eagles can sell for a few taels of silver.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!

The further he progresses in martial arts training, the greater the physical exertion becomes, but he won't complain.

Chen Sanshi stared intently at the sky, waiting for the two eagles to reach the right height and angle. Then, a three-pronged armor-piercing spear shot out, killing two birds with one stone without any suspense!

"Chirp—"

With a mournful cry, the two eagles fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Just as Chen Sanshi was about to retrieve his prey, he saw a boy of similar age running toward him with an incredulous look on his face.

He has a photographic memory and is certain that this person is not in the military camp; he is a complete stranger.

"My friend, how did you do that?"

The boy also held a bow and arrow in his hand, and he imitated the action of drawing a bow: "Those two eagles were at least forty feet off the ground just now, how did you do that!"

Chen Sanshi was baffled: "What? How did you do that?"

"What I mean is, how do you shoot so accurately?"

The boy was very excited: "How heavy is your big bow? Ten stones or fifteen stones? Can I borrow it to shoot an arrow?"
