Joining Jiang Qing, the team gradually becomes more complete!

After listening to Stone Victory’s words, several of the strongest individuals in the class spoke up.

“You don’t need to entice us with words. We came here today with the intention of joining Jiang Qing. Even if you hadn't said anything, we were already preparing to do so.

We have a bond as former classmates, and we’ve all seen Jiang Qing’s character and how he handles things. Joining Jiang Qing’s command will surely lead to a good future.”

Lin Ming glanced at Stone Victory and said.

“That’s right. When we encountered problems in Cultivating at school, Jiang Qing would always patiently answer them. He wasn't arrogant because of his extraordinary strength; instead, he could get along well with us.”

“He’s good to his friends, capable and talented, and Jiang Qing is the leader of our class. Although we are all Prodigies, our military talent is only average. We can't serve as commanders, only as vanguard generals.”

“Jiang Qing was appointed as a Cavalry Thousand-Man Commander as soon as he joined. His military talent was clearly recognized by the commander of Demon Suppression Pass. Just look at the soldiers he trained, and you’ll know that Jiang Qing is different from us; he has the potential to become a great commander.”

Zhou Yan said, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

“From the start of school until now, Jiang Qing has always been able to redefine our understanding step by step. Whether it’s his strength that far surpasses other Prodigies, or the military talent he now displays, such a person is rare in the world.”

“Although we Prodigies are all proud and unwilling to serve as subordinates to our peers, how is Jiang Qing like our peer? Whether it’s his words and tone, or his style of doing things, he is unbelievably steady.”

Liu Qi sighed, then stated his position,

“Anyway, I came today intending to join Jiang Qing. You all can weigh your options.”

Jiang Qing, standing far behind them, listened to their words. The content of their conversation was not beyond his expectations.

The few people who spoke all wanted to follow him, join his command, and become generals.

Long before this, Jiang Qing had anticipated the current situation and had prepared for it.

Jiang Qing’s strength already far surpassed that of his classmates, and the potential he displayed was enough for them to follow him.

If his strength was only slightly higher than theirs, they would only feel jealousy and be unwilling to set aside their pride to follow him.

But now, he possessed strength that crushed them, and his military talent was something they couldn't even compare to.

With such a large gap, they no longer felt jealousy, because it meant that the two sides were not on the same level at all.

In this situation, their best choice was to follow Jiang Qing. Providing help when needed is always better than adding to what is already abundant.

Currently, Jiang Qing commands two thousand men, but they are only ordinary soldiers, making it difficult to select suitable generals from among them.

Jiang Qing’s classmates, however, are different. They are already Martial Artist Prodigies who studied military books in high school. They may not become great commanders, but they are fully qualified to serve as vanguard generals.

By joining Jiang Qing early, they could become core high-ranking members of his command. In the future, as Jiang Qing expands, as long as they keep pace, their high-ranking positions will remain secure.

Jiang Qing watched the several people converse, and he could essentially confirm that all of them would ultimately choose to follow him.

There were nine people in the class in total. Besides Jiang Qing himself and Su Yue, the strongest were the four who had spoken earlier.

Stone Victory, Lin Ming, Zhou Yan, and Liu Qi—the four of them were evenly matched in strength. The other three, besides them, were slightly inferior in strength.

Since the four strongest individuals all expressed their desire to follow Jiang Qing, the other three naturally followed suit.

As Jiang Qing expected, after these four spoke, the other three also expressed their willingness to follow.

Jiang Qing understood that it was now his turn to make an appearance.

Jiang Qing stepped forward, deliberately making some footsteps.

Everyone’s senses were already extremely keen. Previously, they hadn't noticed him because Jiang Qing had deliberately restrained his aura. Now that Jiang Qing intentionally made some footsteps, they immediately turned around.

Seeing that it was Jiang Qing, several people exchanged glances.

After a brief moment ofstunned, Stone Victory was the first to step forward, looking at Jiang Qing and saying solemnly,

“Jiang Qing, you heard what we just said, so there’s no need for further explanation. We have made up our minds to join your command, to become your followers, and from now on, to fight and advance together.”

“We too.”

As Stone Victory spoke, the others also responded one after another.

Jiang Qing pondered for a moment, then said:

“I will apply for Centurion positions for you, to be assigned under my command. But let me say this upfront: in the military, talent is paramount. If you want to be a general, you must demonstrate sufficient capability. My command does not support idlers.”

The group exchanged glances, then said in a deep voice, “Yes!”

With seven Prodigies joining his command, Jiang Qing’s military core was initially formed.

He only needed to Cultivate these seven individuals, and in the future, they would all become Jiang Qing’s mainstays, becoming sharp swords for him to conquer the battlefield.

Leading the seven into the training ground, Jiang Qing diligently taught them his experience in training soldiers.

These seven individuals were already Martial Artist Prodigies, so their Comprehension Ability was not lacking. What they lacked was only military experience.

Jiang Qing had over ten years of military experience, making it easy for him to teach these few people.

As long as these people stayed by his side and were influenced by him, they would all become great generals capable of defending a region in the future.

After the teaching was completed, Jiang Qing let them contemplate on their own in the training ground, while he went to the Military Arts Arena to apply for general status for them.

He was now a Cavalry Thousand-Man Commander with independent authority, and the Centurions under his command could be selected and appointed by himself. Promoting Stone Victory and the others to Centurion positions was no problem at all.

The procedures were quickly approved, and seven Centurion military tallies were obtained.

Handing the Centurion military tallies to everyone, from this moment on, their interests were linked with Jiang Qing’s.

Just like the soldiers under Jiang Qing’s command, from now on, they would share in glory and loss.

In the evening, Jiang Qing’s soldiers ascended the city wall to participate in the city defense battle, while he led his seven Centurions to the Purple Lightning Remains.

Since they had become his subordinates, Jiang Qing was absolutely not stingy in cultivating them. Aside from things that could not be exposed, everything else could be arranged.

The Purple Lightning Remains was an Opportunity that could further their Martial Dao foundation. He only needed to use the Purple Extremity Profound Lightning to refine their Physical Body and enhance their Cultivating talent.

After sending them to the trial levels of the Remains, Jiang Qing let them clear the levels on their own, while he sat cross-legged in the center of the Remains and began to Cultivate.

The Martial Dao Will in his Dantian shone brilliantly, and its power grew stronger.

Ten days had passed since Jiang Qing's Breakthrough to the Martial General Realm, during which his cultivation steadily increased.

Martial Artist and Civilization Master paths advanced side by side.

His Civilization Master cultivation had reached the advanced stage of Spirit Nurturing, with his Mental Energy sea filled to 61%. As long as it reached 100%, Jiang Qing could begin his Breakthrough to achieve extraordinary status in the Civilization Master Dao.

His progress in the Martial Dao was even faster. The core of the Martial General Realm was to enhance Martial Dao Will. This Realm tested Comprehension Ability, and those with quick Comprehension Ability progressed faster in cultivation.

Jiang Qing had already cultivated to the Perfection of the Martial General Realm during the deployment process, achieving Perfection in his understanding of Martial Dao Will. Now, he was reviewing the old to learn the new, not only progressing quickly in cultivation but also gaining other insights.

At this rate, when Jiang Qing reached the Peak of the Martial General Realm, he would surely Cultivate to the extreme Realm, refining his Indomitable Will to a perfect state.
