Chapter 997: Lost and Found

Wang Heng brought Wang Chen over, asking Gai Nie for guidance, and even implying that he wanted Gai Nie to take him as an apprentice.

However, none of the three had any intention of taking an apprentice.

"Prefect, you are too polite."

"Your son's spirit is naturally formed, and his heart is intelligent; this is a spiritual talent of the world. Unfortunately, we have not yet finished our apprenticeship, and taking an apprentice is a matter of great importance, which should also be known to our teacher."

Gai Nie did not speak, but Zhang Liang, seeing the atmosphere, hurriedly stood up and said.

Wang Chen's talent was considered not bad, but for Gai Nie and Zhang Liang, it counted for nothing at all; in Nanzhan Buzhou, they had encountered many people with strong talent.

Not to mention reaching the Spirit Refining stage at a hundred years old, there were many who became immortals at a hundred years old.

At most, this dignitary disciple being able to cultivate to this point at this age is indeed not simple.

Zhang Liang had seen too many dignitary disciples; most were not necessarily dissolute disciples who only knew how to indulge in pleasure, but many were living a life of dissipation.

Especially when Zhang Liang was a dignitary disciple of the Han state back then, he had seen too many of those of the same kind.

Wang Chen is not bad, but that is just "not bad." Wanting to become their apprentice is not enough.

Just his status as the son of a Prefect—so what? Now, the three of them, not to mention a Prefect, even Wang Jian, this Great General, they were not afraid of.

Zhang Liang's excuse was immediately understood by Wang Heng, who knew that the three did not look favorably upon his son; although he was a bit stifled inside, he would not show anything on the surface.

Deep city, this was the meaning revealed by the look Zhang Liang and Su Fan exchanged.

It was Wang Chen's performance that made Su Fan and the others somewhat surprised.

Originally, they thought that upon hearing Zhang Liang's words, this son would be very angry and stand out, but they only saw a trace of anger in his eyes, which quickly disappeared.

This forbearance and temperament made the two secretly nod in their hearts.

As dignitary disciples who have lived in luxury and have been superior to others since childhood, they usually develop a self-centered personality.

"This son's temperament is not bad."

"If he were in Nanzhan Buzhou and placed in the Sword Sect to be cultivated, he would have the potential of a True Immortal."

Su Fan transmitted his voice; the Sword Sect is not entirely sword cultivators; in fact, the Sword Sect is a sect formed by the union of multiple sects, ultimately with Gai Nie as the master.

Wang Chen's talent is not too bad; if his temperament is good, as long as he is well-cultivated, he still has a chance to reach True Immortal. As for after True Immortal, it depends on his own fortuitous encounter.

However, in the current situation, they are focusing on the rebels, and there is no time.

"If he practices the sword, I will provide guidance; as for taking an apprentice, forget it."

Gai Nie finally spoke, his tone still as stiff and unfeeling as ever.

However, his words made Wang Heng's face brighten with joy.

By now, he did not ask for the three to take an apprentice; having them provide a little guidance to make Wang Chen break through to the Earth Immortal realm more smoothly was already quite good.

"Prefect Wang, your son's talent for Dao cultivation is not bad. We will be staying in Nanjun for this period of time. When he has time, he can come over; providing guidance is no problem. As for whether he can break through to the Earth Immortal realm, he will have to look to himself."

"Everyone has their own fortuitous encounter, which cannot be forced."

Seeing that Wang Heng still had something to say, Zhang Liang hurriedly interrupted.

"The most important thing now is the rebels."

"I heard that the rebels have more than ten Golden Immortal martial generals. General Wang Jian, have you found out any situation? What is the origin of these ten-plus martial generals who suddenly appeared?"

Zhang Liang immediately changed the subject and looked at Wang Jian.

Wang Heng, seeing this, could only keep his words in his heart. Being able to get guidance from these three immortals was already not easy; there were immortals in Xianyang City, but it was very difficult for him to see them, let alone let Wang Chen apprentice himself to them and get their guidance.

It was still the prejudice of sects.

Wang Heng did not continue to push his luck; he also knew that the most important thing now was the rebels outside Nanjun, so he pulled Wang Chen to the side.

The crowd did not pay attention to his actions and turned their eyes to Wang Jian and his son.

They naturally knew about the changes in the rebels during this period.

If there was no support from Xianyang City, I am afraid Nanjun would really be unable to block the rebels' attack.

It was not the power of the army; in terms of the army, even if the rebels' numbers had exceeded Nanjun's, so what? In the hands of Wang Jian and his son in Nanjun were the elites of the Great Qin.

And the army in the hands of the rebels was mostly farmers; even if they wore armor, it would be very difficult for them to be opponents of the Great Qin.

The gap in quality between the two was truly very large.

Great Qin soldiers need to train for five years upon entering the army; five years of foundation—if they can break through, they can stay in the army; if they cannot enter the martial arts path in five years, they can only withdraw from the army.

It can be said to be very strict; for Great Qin soldiers, any frontline unit, the weakest soldier, has entered the martial arts path, which is more powerful than many Dao cultivators who practice "refining essence into qi."

Moreover, the Great Qin provides resources; the longer they stay, the stronger the soldiers become. In addition, the Great Qin does not talk about seniority; in the army, only strength is talked about.

Below the Five-Hundred-Man Commander, the low-level officers like Squad Leaders, Platoon Leaders, and Hundred-man Commanders all rely entirely on personal bravery; whoever is strong can be promoted.

Only after becoming a Five-Hundred-Man Commander will other abilities be slowly examined, especially the ability to lead troops.

After all, a Five-Hundred-Man Commander is already a mid-level officer; sometimes they need to lead troops, and a Five-Hundred-Man Commander does not just manage five hundred soldiers.

In fact, every Five-Hundred-Man Commander controls between five hundred and five thousand soldiers; those with strong ability control five thousand, and those with poor ability can naturally only control five hundred.

But whether it is five thousand or five hundred, leading troops is not that simple.

Some people, you lead one or two hundred people to charge the formation, maybe it doesn't matter, but once the number of troops is large, you cannot lead them at all; even if your martial power is strong, you can only act as a vanguard.

These vanguard generals are unique to the Great Qin army; according to strength, some powerful ones can act as officers, but they don't have many troops under their command; some are these vanguard officers. During a great battle, these people are the ones charging the formation.

Relying on their own powerful strength to charge the formation.

The Great Qin army, after thousands and tens of thousands of evolutions, has become extremely reasonable and will not have any unfair phenomena.

Even if you are a noble disciple, or even a royal disciple, entering the army, you have to start from the grassroots.

Of course, when they are promoted, it will be easier; this is a latent rule that everyone knows.

But this latent rule also has a bottom line; to promote you, the premise is that you need to have the ability and sufficient strength.

Otherwise, even if your background is big, you will obediently stay below.

It is precisely because of this that the Great Qin army is so powerful.

However, the army is powerful, but the rebels suddenly have more than ten Golden Immortals; these Golden Immortals charging the formation is quite terrifying—one person is enough to block a hundred-thousand-strong army. ===== CHAPTER 998 =====
