My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 172: Martial Arts Promotion [Part ]

When he saw the golden image shining above Zeng Anmin's head.

The entire tent fell into silence.

Even Qin Shoucheng himself felt the same.

It's just cleaning out some small monsters.

Having Zeng Anmin, a fifth-rank Confucian scholar, is enough.

Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.

After a brief moment of distraction, the eldest princess' eyes flashed with deep admiration.

She looked at Zeng Anmin as if she was admiring a precious object.

"Ah."

The princess nodded slowly, and after pondering for a while, she said:
"In that case, then lead two teams of Yuanyang Army and go search for monsters with Li Le from Xuanzhen Division and the monster-hunting disk."

After she finished speaking, she slowly stood up, with a hint of coldness in her voice:
"Our army must occupy all of the important roads I just mentioned, so after searching for monsters, no fish can escape the net. We must complete the cleanup within three days."

Zeng Anmin frowned slightly.

Do you want to bring someone else with you?
That won't work.

I have to go alone to boldly display my martial arts skills and fight against the monsters...

Thinking of this, Zeng Anmin was about to speak.

But then he thought again, if he didn't bring anyone with him and went alone, the Princess and Qin Shoucheng would never agree.

"I will obey military orders!"

Thinking of this, Zeng Anmin no longer hesitated. His face became serious and he saluted the eldest princess.

"I allow you to lead the vanguard, with Li Le and the other two as deputies, and a hundred Yuanyang soldiers following, to search for the monster!"

Seeing Zeng Anmin agreed so readily, the princess no longer hesitated. She directly pulled out the military order from the table and threw it on the ground.

"Clap."

This military order was completed.

"Yes!"

After receiving the military order, Zeng Anmin lifted his robe slightly and walked out.

He gathered his troops and horses and headed towards the dense forest in the mountains without any hesitation.

The military order only gave him three days.

He had to act quickly.

…………

Baideng Mountains.

The way forward.

This is an extremely narrow mountain road.

It is also the only way to get from the Wan Yao Mountains to the plains in the north.

In between these endless winding paths.

A group of soldiers from the Great Saint Dynasty were marching slowly.

"Junior Brother Li, how do I display the monster search disk?"

Zeng Anmin was holding a short sword in his hand, walking at the front of the team. He slowly turned his head and looked at Li Le beside him.

As the deputy commander of the Yuanyang Army, he naturally has to act like a deputy commander.

At this moment, Zeng Anmin's eyes were extremely solemn, and his brows were as sharp as swords.

Although he is not very old, the power he exudes from his righteous spirit is extremely great.

The moment he opened his mouth, he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.

As an outer disciple of Xuanzhen Division, Li Le wore a black uniform with golden lines on his chest extending from his shoulders to his waist.

At this moment, he was looking solemnly at a black compass in his hand.

The compass was the size of a palm, and a faint green light could be seen on it.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz."

As the green light emerged and then disappeared.

Li Le's eyes flashed with a dark green aura.

After a long time, he slowly took a breath.

After raising his head, he replied with a resolute gaze:
"Brother Zeng, there are no monsters on this mountain path."

Hearing this, Zeng Anmin felt a little disappointed.

No demon race means no fighting.

How could he break through without fighting?

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin pondered for a while.

He slowly raised his head and looked towards the leader of the team:
"Wu Qianfeng."

"The general is here!"

When Wu Qianfeng heard Master Zeng's voice, his expression turned respectful. He came before Zeng Anmin and waited for military orders.

"I order you to lead fifty Yuanyang soldiers to wait for the main army to pick you up here on the mountain road."

Zeng Anmin's voice was solemn.

"Ok?"

Wu Qianfeng looked up in astonishment and subconsciously said, "Didn't Your Highness ask me to protect you?"

"Need not."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and said with a serious expression:

"Even though we have a powerful weapon like the Monster Searching Disk, treasures are dead, but people are alive. Although no monsters have been found here, if there are roaming monsters coming from outside, the fifty mandarin duck soldiers you lead can just stop them."

"Li Le and I will lead our men to search for monsters elsewhere. You must ensure that this place is clean and prepare for the army to station here in three days."

When he said this, his face was extremely serious.

"This is a military order."

Wu Qianfeng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was unable to refute.

Zeng Anmin is right.

"I will obey my orders."

After a while, Wu Qianfeng had no choice but to obey the order.

"Well, you don't need to worry about my safety. Not to mention that I am a fifth-rank Confucianist and Taoist Dharma Realm, don't I have Junior Brother Li, the little immortal from the Xuanzhen Division, by my side?"

Zeng Anmin smiled slightly and patted Wu Qianfeng's shoulder gently.

Then he sent out fifty soldiers and horses to stay in this mountain road.

He took the remaining fifty soldiers and Li Le and set off towards the new mountain road.

There were not many soldiers and horses, so they moved very quickly.

The fifty soldiers of the Mandarin Duck Army had also undergone rigorous training and were marching rapidly all the way.

Finally, we were almost at the next mountain path.

Zeng Anmin raised his head and looked at Li Le with a smile.

"Junior Brother Li, as a Confucianist and Taoist practitioner, can I use this demon-hunting disk?"

Li Le didn't understand, but he didn't suspect anything.

He chuckled and said, "Brother Zeng, this demon-hunting disk was made by our master. Before leaving, my disciple gave it to me. It is a combination of the strengths of hundreds of schools, so it can contain the auras of all schools."

"Oh?"

Zeng Anmin's eyes lit up, he looked at Li Le, and said excitedly:
"Can I give it a try?"

That eager expression made Li Le feel a little funny.

He nodded with a smile and handed the monster search disk to Zeng Anmin:
"Just hold your breath and concentrate, injecting your righteous energy into the monster-hunting disk."

"If the demon disk shows black air, it means there are demons here."

"Okay!"

Zeng Anmin excitedly took the monster-hunting disk in his hand.

As soon as I picked it up, I felt a weight in my hand.

His eyes showed curiosity.

This monster-hunting plate doesn't look heavy, but I didn't expect it to be so heavy.

After he took the monster-hunting disk, his eyes sparkled with brilliance:

"Can the black energy show the number and strength of the demon race?"

Li Le smiled and said, "Of course you can. The amount of black energy is proportional to the number of demons. The stronger the energy, the stronger the demons."

"Okay!"

After Zeng Anmin took the monster-hunting plate, he carefully touched the texture of the plate.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly.

The stone that had been prepared in his hand appeared silently.

"Snapped!"

He secretly fired the stone, which bounced to the side at an extremely fast speed and hit a tree in the dense forest in the distance, causing the tree and leaves to shake.

"what sound?!"

This voice just appeared.

Li Le and the fifty soldiers instantly became alert.

Look towards the source of the sound.

Zeng Anmin said solemnly, "Junior Brother Li, go investigate. I will protect you here."

"Ah."

Li Le did not hesitate. He took out a carving pen from the bag on his waist, carved a few formations on his body, and then rushed towards the source of the sound at a high speed.

After he leaves.

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the demon-hunting plate in his hand.

With a slight movement of his mind, the golden righteous energy slowly flowed into the demon-hunting disk. "Buzz."

As a green light flashed in front of him.

Zeng Anmin's eyes showed a hint of joy.

Dark air!!
Three balls of black air!

There are monsters here!
And according to Li Le's description, the density of these three black clouds is not very high.

The corresponding martial arts realm should be... the strength of a demon general!

It just happens to fit perfectly with the battle target that I want to choose!
"Brother Zeng, there is no unusual movement."

Li Le returned with a bewildered look on his face. He came to Zeng Anmin and pointed in the direction where he had just spoken.

"It's really a bit strange... I went there to use the Qi Vision Technique, but I didn't find anything..."

"It might be a bird flying in the forest. We were so nervous all the way here that we were like frightened birds at the slightest movement."

Zeng Anmin restrained his righteous spirit in time.

The Monster Hunting Pan returned to peace.

He gently handed the monster search disk in his hand to Li Le and said, "Oh, right, I just tried the monster search disk. There are no monsters here that need to be eliminated. Let's hurry to the next mountain path. Time is running out."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

Li Le did not doubt him and nodded quickly, his eyes becoming solemn: "If that's the case, then hurry up and get going. Don't waste time and get blamed by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin stood up, raised his arm, and waved at the fifty Yuanyang soldiers:
"Keep marching!"

"Yes."

…………

Another half day passed, and it was already completely dark.

In the dark forest.

In addition to mosquitoes, snakes and ants, there are also some dangers lurking in the dark.

This place is far away from the Great Saint Dynasty, and the power of Confucian and Taoist monks can hardly reach here.

Therefore, there are some ghosts or evil spirits in the mountains.

However, these are unlikely to cause fatal effects on ordinary people, let alone soldiers.

The evil spirit carried by the army can scare away these evil spirits.

Finally, the team led by Zeng Anmin arrived at the third mountain path.

"Junior Brother Li, it's up to you."

Zeng Anmin looked at Li Le with knowing eyes.

At this time, the mountain road in front of the team became even more rugged.

This is the nature of Mount Baideng. The deeper you go, the more rugged it becomes.

Li Le nodded seriously, took out the monster-hunting disk in his arms, narrowed his eyes slightly, muttered a few words, and then a ray of light flashed out from the monster-hunting disk.

"Buzz!"

Black air lingers.

Dozens of black air flashed with a rich aura.

Seeing this, Zeng Anmin thought to himself, as expected.

The deeper the forest, the greater the probability of finding monsters.

"A dozen or so scum from the demon tribe."

Li Le saw the black air and showed no concern. He took the initiative to ask Zeng Anmin:

"Brother Zeng, I can clean up these scumbags by myself."

"it is good!"

Zeng Anmin's face was solemn. He hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Li Le with burning eyes and said:

"But I cannot let Junior Brother Li Le fall into danger. You can take these fifty Yuanyang soldiers with you. Junior Brother Li does not have to refuse."

He looked at Li Le who wanted to wave his hand to refuse and said seriously:

"I'm just afraid that after this matter is reported back to Xuanzhen Division, Miss Sai will blame me for not paying attention to the disciples of Xuanzhen Division. Junior Brother Li Le must also understand my difficulties."

When Li Le heard this, an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.

He pretended to nod in realization, raised his eyebrows at Zeng Anmin and said:

"This is natural, haha, this is natural."

The relationship between Zeng Anmin and Sai Chuxue had already been circulated in the Xuanzhen Division as early as when he was taking the Illusion Array Imperial Examination.

Especially after Sai Chuxue did not deny her personal relationship with Zeng Anmin, various rumors about the two began to spread among the disciples in the entire Xuanzhen Division.

After all, when it comes to gossip, no matter how high your level of attainment is, you can’t help but be tempted by it.

"Well, I will meet Junior Brother Li here."

Zeng Anmin patted Li Le on the shoulder.

"it is good!"

Li Le had no doubts and called out to the remaining fifty soldiers, then headed deep into the mountain path.

Night has already fallen.

The moon reveals its brilliance.

Zeng Anmin was the only one left in this dense forest.

See Li Le and his men slowly disappear.

There was an extremely sharp gleam in Zeng Anmin's eyes.

"go!"

Without any delay, he headed back.

For a moment, his steps even left afterimages.

A few sudden moves.

His figure also disappeared from the spot.

…………

"Oh!"

Zeng Anmin jumped down from a tree.

He looked forward with a serious look.

"It's right here. On the Daytime Monster Searching Plate, the figures of the three fallen monsters are near here."

After half an hour of full effort.

Zeng Anmin's journey finally arrived here.

He slowly calmed the anxiety in his body.

After recovering some of his martial arts spirit, he searched the surroundings inch by inch with a burning gaze.

As his thoughts flowed slowly, a sense of righteousness appeared in his eyes.

With the emergence of righteousness.

A strong feeling of disgust emerged in Zeng Anmin's heart.

It was a kind of impatience to get rid of it as soon as possible.

At the same time, his eyes flashed with a faint golden light.

"The demon race, three of them, all of them are demon generals."

There was a gleam of light in Zeng Anmin's eyes.

And an irrepressible murderous intent.

The righteous energy in the body is also slowly gathering strength.

He walked forward.

Following the sense of righteousness, that disgusting aura was getting closer and closer.

at last……

After passing a corner.

His pupils slowly darkened.

Directly in front of him.

Three extremely horrifying monsters were greedily licking the animal corpses in front of them.

"Click, click, click."

The sound of sharp teeth chewing.

In Zeng Anmin's eyes, each of these three monsters exuded black energy.

It makes people want to kill him.

He even found it difficult to control the violent and righteous energy in his body.

"Boom!!!"

A breath of destructive power extended outward along Zeng Anmin's body.

The three monsters that were eating shook violently.

Then he raised his ugly, frightened face and looked in the direction of Zeng Anmin.

When they noticed the strong righteous energy in Zeng Anmin's body.

The bodies of the three demons were all trembling.

It is a fear that comes from the depths of the soul.

"Ow!!!"

One of the tiger monsters, which had the word "king" clearly marked on its forehead, had an even more intense look of fear in its eyes.

Without any hesitation, it dropped the food in its mouth and fled in the opposite direction like a frightened deer.

The remaining two wolf demons just stared at Zeng Anmin blankly.

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely weird.
