Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 272 Tell me, what about Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King, and Han Xin...?

"Where's that kid named Di Xiao? Come out here right now, Cheng Yaojin! I, Old Cheng, have high hopes for you, you'll take after me..."

"Fatty Cheng, this kid Di Xiao should belong to me, Yuchi Gong. I will definitely train him into a divine general."

"Get lost. You're just a roughneck, while I, Old Cheng, am at least somewhat educated. Leave it to me..."

"Stop arguing. I, Li Jing, also think highly of this kid."

Well, countless powerful generals from the Tang Dynasty emerged, all eager to recruit Di Xiao. After all, Di Xiao was recognized by Han Xin as a future divine general and possessed the legendary double pupils. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he was destined to become a powerful figure among the human race.

Moreover, according to the rules, before Di Xiao reaches the Great Luo realm, he is a subject of the Tang Dynasty. It will take countless years for Di Xiao to cultivate to the Great Luo realm. During this period of growth and becoming a powerful figure, whoever wins him over will have their family and descendants secured for them.

Especially for great generals like Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty, if they reach the Great Luo Realm, they will have to leave their families and enter the Fire Cloud Cave. At that time, they will not be able to concern themselves with worldly affairs and aristocratic families. If their families decline in the process, they can only watch helplessly.

If they support Di Xiao when he is weak, then when Di Xiao grows up, he will be able to take care of their family.

Because of this, they also wanted to befriend Di Xiao.

But now, Di Xiao has already left using the teleportation array.

The border of the Tang Dynasty, the Two Boundaries Mountain.

Di Xiao's figure reappeared, and he saw Xue Dingshan's figure in his line of sight.

However, standing in front of Xue Dingshan was a handsome general dressed in silver armor, with an elegant demeanor.

The general stroked his beard and laughed. Upon seeing Di Xiao arrive, his eyes gleamed: "Haha… this prodigy, valued by the military genius Han Xin and bestowed with double pupils by the Hegemon-King Xiang Yu, is now a member of my White Tiger Army. Good, good…"

The general was delighted and strode forward, observing Di Xiao's entire body. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Di Xiao had some vague suspicions about the general's attitude. Xue Ping, however, had already clasped his hands in greeting: "This humble general, Xue Ping, pays his respects to the Great General."

"Haha... Xue Ping, you're not bad either. You've managed to find such a talented descendant for our White Tiger Army and our Xue family." The general praised him, and his identity was self-evident; he was clearly the legendary Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui, the general of the White Tiger Army, is said to be the reincarnation of the White Tiger Star Lord, commanding the White Tiger Army of the Tang Dynasty and guarding its western border. Even within the Tang Dynasty today, he would be a highly renowned and prominent figure.

Now, Xue Rengui looked at Di Xiao with great admiration and said, "Di Xiao, don't be nervous. Since you are a soldier of our White Tiger Army and have such talent, I, as the Great General, will naturally not treat you unfairly. From now on, you will stay in the White Tiger Army and cultivate diligently, with a status equivalent to that of a young general."

"Thank you, General." Di Xiao was not surprised at all by Xue Rengui's words. After all, the higher one's aptitude, the more preferential treatment one would receive. His current status, comparable to that of a young general, already spoke volumes.

A junior general in an army represents not only status, but also power and resources.

Di Xiao now craves both power and resources. Power would grant him access to more secrets, while resources would ensure he has no shortage of cultivation opportunities.

"Very good. From now on, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and cultivate diligently. I look forward to the day you grow stronger!" Xue Rengui laughed again, his face beaming with joy as he looked at Di Xiao. Such a talented young man, ending up in the army, was truly fortunate.

Thinking of the messages from some old friends, Xue Rengui couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, I'll go deal with those old bastards, Cheng Yaojin, first. You go back with Ding Shan; he'll take care of everything."

Having said this, Xue Rengui led his personal guards away. Xue Dingshan, however, regained his liveliness and immediately ran over, putting his arm around Di Xiao's shoulder and patting him on the shoulder: "Haha...good, good! Brother Di Xiao, this trip has truly been very fruitful. And what Brother Di Xiao did has truly impressed and made me proud. At the same time, I also envy how exhilarating it must be to command all the battle spirits and fight against Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King."

Upon hearing this, Di Xiao smiled and said, "I am very grateful to the young general for giving me this opportunity."

"Alright, stop calling me Young General. From now on, you are also a Young General in the White Tiger Army. We'll address each other as brothers! Also, you'll temporarily belong to my Black Tiger Army. Once your cultivation has improved, Father will definitely give you command of an army."

"But don't worry about waiting too long. With your comprehension, the aptitude brought by your double pupils, and the training from our White Tiger Army, you will grow up quickly. After all, being a young general in the White Tiger Army has many benefits." Xue Dingshan smiled, showing no emotion about Di Xiao becoming a young general, but rather being very happy.

Di Xiao had some doubts about the young general's power and status, but Xue Dingshan carefully answered them for him.

As Di Xiao listened, he gradually came to understand what this so-called young general meant.

The young general of the White Tiger Army signifies the future successor of the White Tiger Army. To become this successor, what matters is not bloodline or connections, but one's own ability and qualifications.

After becoming a junior general, he was second only to the commander in the White Tiger Army. Besides the increased status and power, the junior general also gained access to more resources.

However, the White Tiger Army won't directly provide you with resources. Instead, they will offer preferential treatment based on the current merit system of the Tang Dynasty army.

For tasks that are easy but rewarding, the young general will be assigned to them. This is a way of giving the young general merit points, which he can then exchange for resources to accelerate his growth.

In addition to the White Tiger Army, many armies of the Tang Dynasty had a similar system. Within each army, there was no limit to the number of soldiers who could be appointed as junior generals, but the number of generals who could ultimately inherit the position of grand general depended on the individual generals.

As Di Xiao listened, he vaguely felt that this was the same as the Holy Son system in some fantasy novels he remembered.

However, the Holy Land has now become a large army, and the Holy Son has become a junior general. As for resources, due to the merit system of the Tang Dynasty army, resources are no longer given directly, but are given in a special way.

Well, after listening to many of the benefits of the young general, Di Xiao knew his own future.

"Brother Di Xiao, I've told you all about the young general. Now it's my turn to ask. Tell me about Xiang Yu, the Overlord, and Han Xin..." Well, Xue Dingshan was still a hot-blooded young man, and he was already excited upon hearing about the legendary Overlord.

Upon seeing this, Di Xiao could only offer a wry smile and recount the events that had transpired.
