Chapter 227: Chapter 137: Breaking Qi and Will, Winds of Unrest

Chen Ping carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the fellow disciples in his Primordial Martial Arts Hall.

He appointed Han Xiaoru to lead the cavalry, not expecting her to quickly master the army’s Qi Gathering technique of the "One-Character Soaring Snake Array," but simply wanted the five hundred elite cavalry to be united.

This point, he believed, would not be too difficult to achieve.

Though Han Xiaoru appeared quite naive and seemingly carefree on usual days, Chen Ping discovered a great advantage in her.

That is, when she is interested in something, she does it very well.

Especially her physique and innate talent, her charisma and temperament, all of which make her a top-tier general embryo.

While sitting on a horse, she almost made Chen Ping overlook the fact that she was actually just a homebody girl inexperienced in the world, rather giving a subtle illusion...

That this person is an unmatched general adept at strategic maneuvering.

The natural charisma is undeniable.

Although, this formidable general is a woman, which is a bit peculiar.

But there’s nothing wrong with that.

Thus, when she volunteered to lead the cavalry, Chen Ping hardly hesitated and immediately agreed.

Not because he couldn’t bear to reject her due to their close relationship as fellow disciples, but he genuinely felt it was incredibly fitting.

...

As for appointing Zhang Gu to lead the infantry, it was based on the same reasoning.

Zhang Gu, in name, is the eldest senior brother of the Primordial Martial Arts Hall and has been diligently managing affairs for years.

He single-handedly manages everything inside and out, meticulously and excellently.

Having built the Primordial Martial Arts Hall, which lacks attraction in its fundamental cultivation technique, into one of the top four martial halls in Xingqing Prefecture.

Though ranked last among the four halls, it’s still quite an achievement.

Moreover, while managing the hall’s affairs, he continued to maintain his cultivation without falling behind, advancing the Primordial Golden Body Technique to the Silver Body Realm.

This not only proves his talent but also his capability.

Of course, capability is important, but trust is even more crucial.

As the oldest senior of the Primordial Martial Arts Hall, his character has long been verified.

Steady and reliable.

What Chen Ping needs most now is such talent for leading soldiers.

As long as the Xuanwu Guard doesn’t act out and follows commands, whether the combat power is strong or not is not too important to Chen Ping.

...

For the position of Commander of the Divine Bow Camp, Chen Ping appointed Li Yangguang.

This individual’s strength is on par with Zhang Gu, regarded as a top-tier expert in the Jianghu.

Conveniently, he had also studied archery, although his shooting technique wasn’t exceptionally outstanding, it was not too far behind Huang Shen.

The reason for appointing Li Yangguang as the camp’s commander was also to merge the disciples of the Primordial Martial Arts Hall and the Changkong Martial Hall.

After swallowing the Changkong Martial Hall, although the disciples of both halls didn’t have any personal enmity, they were clashing and fighting not long ago, and they couldn’t be very close, naturally.

Now, they’re diligently following orders, mostly due to Chen Ping’s strength and prospects.

They see Chen Ping as stronger and with deeper potential than Gao Yue, the former Hall Master of the Changkong Martial Hall.

Thus, they feel much more at ease.

In any era, following a powerful leader, or one destined to become a powerful figure, always provides a sense of security.

However, if this powerful leader harbors biases and cannot treat everyone equally.

It might cause disciples transferred from the Changkong Martial Hall to become discontent...

In disappointment, it’s not unusual for internal strife to break out. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Therefore, appointing the former Changkong Martial Hall’s senior disciple Li Yangguang as the Divine Bow Camp’s commander was not only a recognition of his strength but also an appeasement.

Chen Ping noticed that upon issuing this command, several disciples from the former Changkong Martial Hall accompanying him simultaneously showed joyful smiles...

Morale peaked at that moment.

Now, even if he were to ask these fellow disciples to fight to the death, they would probably be willing.

...

"This is great."

Chen Ping smiled, turned around, and entered the barracks, claiming he needed to rest, regardless of whether the environment was suitable and immediately worked on improving his skills.

’As I predicted, only by Breaking Tribulation can I capture fortune. If the danger isn’t great, the tribulation isn’t severe, the gains won’t be significant.’

Chen Ping glanced over and felt happy yet slightly regretful.

After charging the formation and killing Captain Zhang Lianshan of the Xuanwu Guard, subduing the Xuanwu Guard to unite the soldiers, he gained 32 Tribulation Points.

Not too much, not too little, he was already quite satisfied with it.

Compared to the unspeakable gains from killing Xu Baxian and Wu Changshui, this could be considered a big explosion.

However, after several validations, Chen Ping abandoned the idea of dedicating time to become a chivalrous figure only to kill some bad people.

"Killing people is useless, eradicating evil might not necessarily be helpful, the key is the tribulation."

Would this Attribute Column force me to become a troublemaker, facing enemies and attacks everywhere, even making foes with the whole world?"

"The more enemies there are, the stronger they become, the faster the growth..."

This mode does seem somewhat familiar.

Thoughts crossed Chen Ping’s mind, but he stopped thinking about it, he wouldn’t get involved in things for no reason, it’s tiring.

However, should anything arise, he wouldn’t evade it either.

If he saw hidden dangers, saw tribulations, he wouldn’t hesitate to actively face tribulations, break them, and seize fortune...

...

Tribulation Points have now reached as high as 88, and his cultivation in the fundamental Primordial Golden Body technique has reached the Mastery Realm, yet it can’t be fully utilized.
