The Hidden Dragon Battalion was the gathering place of military geniuses.
When Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue stepped into the Hidden Dragon Battalion, they immediately realized this.
The people here weren’t very old, the oldest they encountered being under 30.
Among the Hidden Dragon Battalion’s martial artists, the worst cultivation base was Initial Rank Five Martial Vein.
Didn’t this sound amazing?
In the Ling Clan, one of the four big clans of Heavenly Peak City, as long as your cultivation base reached Rank Five Martial Vein, you would definitely rank within the top ten or even the top five.
Here, those with a cultivation base of Initial Rank Five Martial Vein were just ordinary disciples. Without good talent, one’s cultivation would reach Rank Five Martial Vein Realm and still be unable to enter Hidden Dragon Battalion.
As for the strongest martial artists, Ling Xiao didn’t know exactly who they were, but just after stepping into the Hidden Dragon Battalion, he found four or five above Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Masters.
These people must have been be the instructors of the Hidden Dragon Battalion since they were all older, but they too didn’t exceed 30.
“Ling Xiao, Ling Yixue, these are the rules of the Hidden Dragon Battalion. The better your grades, the better your meals, residence, and teachers.”
Lin Chen introduced while walking: “Generally, martial artists that have just entered can learn from an Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master. If you perform well, you can get guidance from a Rank Eight or even Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master without any problems.”
“Understood!”
This was not a problem since it was impossible for any place or organization to be equitable.
Geniuses needed special consideration, so it was normal to abandon mediocre martial artists.
The more abilities you hde, the more resources you would get. This was fair.
Fairness was not equality. If everyone were given equal resources, that would be unfair.
“Those are the living quarters of the Hidden Dragon Battalion. I believe you can already see the differences, right?”
Lin Chen pointed with a smile.
Ling Xiao nodded.
Even a fool could see that the living quarters were clearly divided into three grades.
One was a big joint lodge where a number of people stayed. All the bottom martial artists of the Hidden Dragon Battalion and those who had just come stayed in tile-roof housing.
Another were seperated, beautiful, brick buildings. Everybody here possessed their own house. Although it was not big, it had its own separate space and a servant.
Looking forward, there were actually three independent courtyards each with three entrances. Inside each were rooms, a kitchen, a training room ,and so on. There was no lack of supporting facilities. In addition, there were three maids and three servants to serve the owner.
“I won’t explain much. The Hidden Dragon Battalion is not a place for cultivating loafers. This is a place meant to cultivate talented individuals. Those three independent courtyards and brick houses are rewards for outstanding martial artists.”
Lin Chen said with a smile.
“I heard that there are twelve Young Generals under General Lin Ze. Among them, the youngest is just 16-year-old, and the oldest is below 30. Did they also come from the Hidden Dragon Battalion?” Ling Xiao asked.
“Yes, those twelve Young Generals are all from the Hidden Dragon Battalion. Some of them are good at leading troops, some are good at martial skills, and some can appear and disappear unpredictably. They have taken many enemies’ heads in war.”
Lin Chen continued: “Outside, they are known as the Twelve Tiger Guards!”
“The Twelve Tiger Guards should all be Martial Master level experts, right?”
Ling Xiao asked.
“Yes, they all are top geniuses from the Hidden Dragon Battalion and our models. I hope that you and I can become Tiger Guard Generals!”
While Lin Chen said this, he was clearly excited. He truly admired these Tiger Guard Generals.
Ling Xiao just smiled without replying.
Becoming a Tiger Guard General was just his first stage goal.
In fact, since he had learned of the Transcendent Realm, he had strived for that goal.
As for what was after Transcendent Realm, he didn’teven know, so there was no need to think about it.
It wouldn’t be too late to think about it after reaching the Transcendent Realm.
Now, it was best to stay in the Hidden Dragon Battalion and improve his strength.
Even the most ordinary martial artist here could get richer resources and better guidance than the best martial artists in the Ling Clan.
Therefore, he could improve faster here, so he was determined to stay.
“Lin Chen, are you bringing newcomers this time?”
Along the way, many people recognized and greeted Lin Chen.
“Yes, these two geniuses were personally selected by the General!”
Lin Chen answered with a smile.
Every time Lin Chen said this, those young martial artists would stop and examine Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue with not-too-friendly eyes.
“Brother Lin, your words made a lot of enemies for us.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“No matter! In any case, you can’t hide this matter from the Hidden Dragon Battalion. They will know of it sooner or later. In fact, they do not plan to antagonize you two. They just heard that you two were personally selected by General Lin Ze, so they all must be curious why. Just show your hands to frighten them.”
Lin Chen said nonchalantly, “In the Hidden Dragon Battalion, it is impossible for you to keep a low profile unless you are willing to accept the worst food, accommodation, instructors, and resources.”
“That is true.”
Originally, Ling Xiao had thought to keep a low profile as newcomers, but after hearing Lin Chen’s words, he realized the error in his ways.
If he chose to keep a low profile, he would be at a disadvantage versus others.
He was not stupid. Wouldn’t he be a fool if he wanted to abuse himself?
“It’s good that you understand.”
Lin Chen added, “There is one more thing I want to remind you of. Although the Hidden Dragon Battalion is General Lin Ze’s territory, there are a lot of people of Heavenly Ren Academy and White Cloud Governor Wan Ben mixed in here. If they learned about the matter in Heavenly Peak City, they will definitely target you, so you must be careful.”
“I know.”
“Aren’t you surprised?”
Lin Chen asked with surprise.
“There is nothing surprising. With the capability of the Ren Race, it is not difficult for them to infiltrate the Hidden Dragon Battalion. In addition, with the help of White Cloud Governor Wan Ben, it would be even easier.”
His complexion suddenly became cold as he added: “It’s fine if they are obedient, but if they dare to provoke me, I’ll help General Lin eliminate these hidden troubles.”
If a person possessing the Landscape Martial Soul didn’t have this confidence, he was not worthy of it!
He didn’t dare to say anything about Martial Master level martial artists, but he truly didn’t fear those below Martial Master.
What genius? In front of him, they were all ordinary people!
Although he looked calm and indifferent, his heart’s ambition was not inferior to anyone else’s.
He would never forget the humiliation he had suffered as a beggar.
He would never forget his beggar brothers being killed.
He would never forget Ling Xiaotian being besieged and pressed to desperation.
Everything was related to strength.
If he were strong enough, he wouldn’t be humiliated.
If he were strong enough, he could have protected his dear ones.
If he were strong enough, who would have dared to attack his clan?
Strength was everything. The rest was an illusion.
“Hahaha, so domineering! I like people like you.”
A person strode over. Although he seemed to be walking, he crossed several hundred meters in an instant to arrive before them.
