Eternal Sword

Chapter 90 Having fun
The nine Azure Dragon Guards in the hall burst into laughter upon hearing this.

They haven't seen such an honest boy for a long time.

Normal people who come to Qinglongwei would pretend to be nice even if they care about their monthly salary.

This young man was very direct and straightforward, and came straight to the point.

It’s really not Chen Tang’s fault.

I was really scared because I was cheated in my previous life.

Moreover, he had to find some time to go up the snowy mountains and learn some advanced martial arts from the mountain dweller.

Chen Tang's frankness accidentally caused several Qinglong guards present to nod secretly and develop a good impression of him.

These guys really don't like people who are good at dealing with people and who change their attitude according to the situation.

That kind of person would be able to thrive under the command of the other three guards.

Although Cai Yin said that it was excessive, he didn't care about it in his heart.

"In fact, Qinglongsi doesn't have much to do usually, so it's relatively easy."

The person who spoke was a man in his thirties sitting in the first seat. His name was Wei Qun. He looked relatively calm among the nine people. He said, "But if something really happens, we have to work quickly. We may not have time to rest for several days in a row."

"For example, the Qinglong Division was busy with the case in Changze County for a whole day."

Cai Yin continued, "After all, you are not an official Azure Dragon Guard yet, so the requirements are not high. Just come in every day and let me know in advance if you need to go out."

"Also, don't call me Lord Cai anymore. It's boring to call me Lord. Just call me Cai Tou like the others."

"Okay, Master Cai."

"..."

"Ahem, I'm used to it. I haven't changed it yet. I will definitely do it next time."

Cai Yin looked at Chen Tang and said casually, "You should have reached the ninth rank."

Chen Tang responded vaguely.

Cai Yin said, "Look at how you were able to catch an arrow shot from a two-stone bow without retreating a single step during the training ground. That kind of strength is impossible for someone who has just entered the rank."

"Let Xiao Wang take you to the armory later to learn the Qinglong Division's bone-changing technique. You must also learn the Qinglong sword technique."

Generally speaking, after reaching the ninth level of cultivation, if one wants to go further, one must switch to martial arts that strengthen the bones.

Ordinary martial arts can only be practiced to the level of skin and flesh, but not to the level of bones.

Chen Tang has already cultivated to the ninth level. Normally, he should also practice the bone-changing method.

"You can be as lazy as you want, but don't embarrass me during the mid-year exam!"

Cai Yin stared at him with his eyes wide open, and said, "I've already made a big promise. In less than half a year, you have to cultivate to the seventh level. Do you understand?"

"Boss Cai, half a year is too short a time."

Wei Qun frowned.

Several other people also nodded.

No matter how talented one is, and even if Qinglongsi has enough training resources, it is impossible to improve from the ninth level to the seventh level in just half a year.

"It's okay if you don't cultivate to the seventh level."

Cai Yin said: "If you can beat the Qinglong Guards under the command of other Weiwei, you can shut up others."

Ultimately, it’s strength that matters.

Wang Yanli shook his head and said, "That's not easy. I heard that other guards have several quasi-Azure Dragon Guards under their command, but their cultivation is all above the eighth rank."

Cai Yin chuckled, took a deep look at Chen Tang, and said, "Don't look at this kid's cultivation level as only ninth rank, but in terms of reaction speed, I'm afraid even an eighth rank cultivator can't beat him!"

In the training ground, if you want to catch the arrows shot by two stone bows, you need to have enough strength.

On the other hand, the reaction must be even faster.

Without any preparation, even an eighth-rank warrior might not be able to dodge the arrow, let alone catch it.

"You guys should get to know him. When you have nothing to do, practice with him more often. Don't let him always think about being lazy."

Cai Yin said this and stood up to leave.

After walking a few steps, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around, took the two unfinished pastries on the tray, and left with satisfaction.

After Cai Yin left, several Qinglong Guards present stood up and greeted Chen Tang.

"Brother Chen, I am Yue Shou."

"I am Mo Zilian..."

"Chi Yun..."

Everyone stepped forward, introduced themselves with a smile, and welcomed Chen Tang to join the Qinglong Division.

Some people are more enthusiastic.

Some people didn't say much, just nodded.

There was no exclusion or hostility as Chen Tang had imagined, but rather a happy atmosphere.

Amid the crowd's cheering, Wang Yanli put on the Qinglong armor and equipped Chen Tang with the Qinglong sword.

Wang Yanli snorted lightly, not caring at all about it.

Seeing this, Chen Tang accepted it calmly.

After putting on this outfit and looking at myself in front of the bronze mirror, my temperament has really changed!

Originally, Chen Tang only revealed a hint of roughness.

At this moment, the tall figure, wearing armor and carrying a sword, with tiger eyes looking around, added a bit of majesty!

You know what, this outfit is really nice.

Everyone chatted with Chen Tang for a while and then went their separate ways.

Wei Qun said: "Yan Li, Xiao Chen is now in your care."

"Do not worry."

Wang Yanli took Chen Tang away to familiarize himself with the Qinglong Division, and then went to the armory to learn martial arts.

On the way, we passed by a blacksmith shop. In this cold winter, several people in the shop were only wearing thin shirts, with their chests exposed, and they were hammering iron tools.

Chen Tang secretly sighed. The Qinglong Division really has everything.

"If your soft armor weapon is damaged, or if you want to forge some weapon, just come here and find Lao Zhang."

Wang Yanli pointed at a strong old man in the blacksmith shop and said.

"Are there new people here?"

Old Zhang saw Wang Yanli and the other person and greeted them.

Wang Yanli smiled and nodded, and continued to take Chen Tang around the Qinglong Division, introducing the various institutions of the Qinglong Division, the taboos, and the things that need attention.

"what?"

At this moment, several Qinglong Guards came over. The leader was a woman in her thirties, wearing the same bronze armor as Cai Yin, with a sword hanging from her waist. She had a plump figure and a charming look in her eyes.

Wang Yanli just introduced that in the Qinglong Division, anyone wearing bronze armor is at least a Weiwei.

The bronze armor weighs dozens of pounds. Although it has better defensive power, it has not reached the fifth grade. After cultivating internal energy, it is too heavy to wear the bronze armor on a daily basis.

"This is Qin Xiaomei, one of the four captains."

Wang Yanli nudged Chen Tang with his elbow and whispered quickly, then bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Qin."

Chen Tang followed suit and said something else.

"Is this the new little brother that Brother Cai recruited?"

Qin Xiaomei came closer, her peach blossom eyes wandering over Chen Tang, she stretched out her fingers and drew small circles on the soft armor on Chen Tang's chest, and said with a smile: "You look really handsome, how about being with me in the future?"

"My lord is joking."

Chen Tang took a half step back, his expression indifferent.

The feelings Qin Xiaomei and Qing Mu gave him were completely different.

Qing Mu was born with a charming temperament. Her every word, every action, every move was completely natural and effortless.

Even if you tease him occasionally, you are very tactful and it won't be offensive.

This Qin Xiaomei is different. Although she is also charming, she is vulgar in her bones.

"Humph!"

Before Qin Xiaomei could say anything, a Blue Dragon Guard behind him jumped out impatiently and scolded: "You are only a ninth-rank guard, not even a formal Blue Dragon Guard, don't be ungrateful!"

"Wei Dong, this has nothing to do with you, don't make things difficult for yourself!"

Wang Yanli sneered and said, "If you want someone, you have to talk to our Caitou."

On the surface, these words were directed at the Qinglong Guard, but in fact, they were also directed at someone else.

Qin Xiaomei could naturally hear it.

She was not annoyed, but just smiled and said, "It's just a joke, why take it so seriously? Look how anxious my sister Yan Li is, as if someone is trying to steal her man."

Wei Dong's Qinglong guards burst into malicious laughter.

Chen Tang asked: "Sister Li, didn't you say you would take me to the armory? Let's go."

"Ah."

Wang Yanli took a deep breath, ignored them, and left with Chen Tang.

Chen Tang asked, "What's the problem between Qin Xiaomei and Cai Tou?"

"That's not true."

Wang Yanli said: "She seduced Cai Tou before, but our Cai Tou ignored her."

After a pause, Wang Yanli glanced at Chen Tang again and reminded him, "You better be careful and don't fall into her trap. Also, between us Cai Tou, it's okay to address him casually, but you have to address others as adults and don't mess with the etiquette."

"Caitou comes from a poor family, so he doesn't care about these things. But other people are different, and they have very strict rules."

After walking for a while, they could see an independent courtyard in the distance, with two Qinglong Guards guarding the door.

Wang Yanli said, "The person living there is the captain of the Azure Dragon Division, Tan Wujiu, a fourth-rank officer."

In the Qinglong Division of Wu'an County, the colonel is the highest official.

Chen Tang asked, "How many people are there in the Qinglong Division of Wu'an County?"

"About a hundred people."

Wang Yanli said: "Including you, there are ten Azure Dragon Guards under Cai Tou's command, and more than ten under the command of the other three captains."

Chen Tang nodded. Together with other people in the company, such as those in the blacksmith shop, it should be about the same.

Wang Yanli said: "Although we have few people in the Qinglong Division in the county city, we have considerable power, and our overall combat power far exceeds that of the personal guards of some of the wealthy families."

"We are definitely not able to stop tens of thousands of troops, but we, the Azure Dragon Guard, are not afraid of anyone else."

After all, to become a formal Azure Dragon Guard, one must be at least seventh rank.

One hundred sixth- and seventh-rank warriors, plus four fifth-rank guards and one fourth-rank lieutenant, this group of people together definitely has unshakable strength in Wu'an County!
Arriving at the armory, Chen Tang looked around.

There were no vast quantities of martial arts secrets for him to choose from, nor were there any incomplete martial arts techniques hidden in corners for him to pick up on the sly.

There is only one exercise for cultivating bones, and it seems to be related to breathing.

There is also a Qinglong sword technique.

Of course, Chen Tang didn't feel any sense of loss.

He hadn't originally expected to rely on Qinglongsi's skills for cultivation.

Wang Yanli said: "Your cultivation is too low. In fact, there is a muscle-changing technique called "Green Dragon Claw" in the Qinglong Division. Your bones are not strong enough now, so you cannot practice it yet."

"When you reach the eighth level, you can practice the Azure Dragon Claw. This technique not only helps you to strengthen your muscles, but also contains the strongest grappling technique of our Azure Dragon Division. If you practice it to perfection, you can even snatch a blade with your bare hands!"

The skills in the armory cannot be taken away or passed on to others, and can only be practiced here.

After watching it twice, Chen Tang had already memorized the Bone Changing Technique and the Green Dragon Sword moves.

At noon, after saying hello to Wang Yanli and others, Chen Tang returned to the inn.

A family member nearly killed him.

He is thinking about it in his heart.
