Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1232: A Born Commander
Tang Xiu calmly observed the pale brat and looked extremely fragile on the bed. The boy's face was red and green veins protruded on his forehead, while his hair was drenched by his own sweat. However, his eyes were very special and very calm like a puddle of water that would not rustle despite being swept away by the strong wind.
Is it because of his intelligence?
Tang Xiu took out a cigarette. The click of a lighter rang out as he lit it up, causing Ah Lang to turn his attention to him. Under Tang Xiu's gaze, the boy was shocked and hesitated for a while, before he sat on the bed with difficulty with Wang Hu's help. After sitting on the edge of the bed and fixing her clothes, she put on slippers and walked a few steps towards Tang Xiu.
“Should I call you Divine Doctor Tang or Boss Tang?”
A smile crept on Tang Xiu's face and he asked, “Which one did you choose to call me, then?”
Ah Lang thought for a while and then replied, “For me, the most appropriate address to call you is Divine Doctor Tang, whereas my brothers will call you as Boss Tang.”
“Peduli told me why?” The smile on Tang Xiu's face grew thicker.
Ah Lang raised his hand to cover his mouth before he coughed again. Then, he slowly explained, “I was sick when you were the famous Divine Doctor of Chinese medicine. You can cure my illness, so the most appropriate one for me to call you is Divine Doctor Tang. But my pathetic brothers have lived a miserable life. For now, shelter, food, and clothing will not be a problem, but their future will be greatly affected due to the delay of their studies. You are the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Company. With you reaching out to help them, they will have a bright future, so the most appropriate address for my brothers to call you is Boss Tang. ”
Tang Xiu nodded calmly in response and said, “What do you choose to call me, then?”
Ah Lang thought for a moment and then replied, “Divine Doctor Tang.”
The smile on Tang Xiu's face grew thicker. The question he had just given Ah Lang was about these two addresses. If this brat called him Divine Tang, it meant that he respected him a lot, whereas calling him Boss Tang meant that he valued his brothers.
However, there is also an implicit meaning of exception here.
Tang Xiu reflected the smoke and asked again, “Complicated.”
“I'm not afraid of problems behind if my brothers die. But I could die at any moment now, and leaving them would make me face death in regret and unwillingness. On the other hand, I believe I can give my brothers a bright future if you can heal me. It is far better to have them under me than to give them to someone else. ”
Tang Xiu took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and flicked it into Ah Lang's hand. Then, he asked again, “Last question. If you can answer it and your answer satisfies me, I can treat you for free. I will also give you and your brothers a great opportunity. ”
Ah Lang's expression changed slightly. “Please say, Divine Doctor Tang.”
“Say you have become an official in the department of the country where you hold high positions and strong authority so that your decisions can determine the life and death of countless people,” Tang Xiu began to speak. “On the one hand, your country is under attack by the enemy, while your brothers who have been with you through fire and water are hunted relentlessly and can meet their deaths at any time. In such a situation, will you continue to defend your country against those foreign enemies, or will you save your brothers and sisters? ”
Ah Lang's brows furrowed tightly. It was a problem he had never thought of before and now he was suddenly faced with a choice. He needs to think about it seriously.
Time passed quickly and more than 20 minutes had passed. Different thoughts kept clashing inside his head for these 20 minutes. He kept thinking and fighting. He would, without a doubt, choose his brothers if he were in his current situation because they were his closest people in the world. However, when she placed herself in the position of the figure depicted in the world that Tang Xiu had just mentioned, the clash between the choices she would make in her heart became even more intense.
Puah …
Ah Lang's body temperature continued to rise and he ended up spewing out a mouthful of blood. If not for Wang Hu's quick response in catching him, he would have fallen to the floor.
Tang Xiu himself was unaffected and he continued to observe Ah Lang's increasingly unsightly expression. Then, he spoke lightly, “I'm still waiting for your answer.”
Ah Lang tilted his head with great difficulty. His eyes looked at Tang Xiu steadily, then he spoke in a hoarse voice, “If someone is in that position, what he should look for is his country. Since it is my duty to protect the country, then I must protect the lives of the many people living in it. I want to save my brothers because they are in danger, but I will never destroy the fate of the country just for the sake of brotherhood because of my own selfishness. If my brothers die in battle, I will shoulder my own revenge and visit their graves to apologize. I believe they would understand me even if they were dead! ”
A beaming smile appeared on Tang Xiu's handsome face. He walked forward and supported Ah Lang's body with his fingers grasping his wrists to feel his internal condition. Then, he smilingly said, “Clean and pack your things. You go with me! It was easy to get thousands of troops, but they would never be a formidable lion without a leader to lead them. Tang Xiu needs someone like you. ”
The smile on Tang Xiu's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a very serious face. “I want you to help lead the army, become a commander worthy of the respect of millions. As long as you go through my trials, and as long as you can fly up into the sky to the point that your performance can endure to my satisfaction; glory, splendor, wealth, and rank are only trivial. State whatever you want, be it the unrivalled power of the individual and the endless life, I'll give you all as long as it's within my abilities! ”
“Are you teasing me?” ah Lang asked with a strange expression.
Tang Xiu smiled faintly and released his strength to wrap around Wang Hu's body and directly sent him outside the room. Shortly after, all the doors and windows in the room were instantly shut. He then took out a bottle of Sacred Healing pills from the interspatial ring and released his Primal Chaos energy to wrap around Ah Lang's body. He quickly inserted a few Sacred Healing Pills into the boy's mouth and used his strength to help him catalyze the efficacy to adjust his physique.
It was the process of tailoring one's endowment to the best complementary organization.
With his massive increase in strength, it was easy for Tang Xiu to change one's physique, and he could tell that Ah Lang's condition was caused by the overwork of his brain which also weakened his mental strength. It then causes a constant high fever, deteriorating health, and a fragile body.
“Defend! Pain and Difficulty is your friend if you want to turn into a man with strength, and you have to be persistent no matter how much pain and suffering you face!
Tang Xiu's voice was instantly transmitted to the depths of Ah Lang's heart. Although the boy's body floated in the air and trembled violently, there was neither mercy nor mercy in Tang Xiu's eyes. In his eyes, it was truly a great wealth for that boy who was even countless humans, living beings, and demons who would never be able to obtain no matter how excited they wanted to be.
Time passed quickly and two hours passed while Tang Xiu's eyes continued to blink. Amidst Ah Lang's miserable cries, Tang Xiu immediately withdrew his hand and stopped releasing his inherent strength to the boy before letting him fall on the bed.
A few moments passed without a sound.
Half a minute later, Ah Lang climbed out of bed with great difficulty, feeling dizzy and hazy. The pain that made him wish it was better to die than to live quickly like a wave. He was surprised that he could feel the surging power from all parts of his body and the temperature in his body constantly increasing. Slowly, he leaped off the bed and clenched his fists to release a few punches and kicks into the air. Afterwards, she moved to Tang Xiu in disbelief and muttered, “My body feels different.”
With a smile that didn't look like it, Tang Xiu replied, “It's only natural that you feel different. I'm trying hard for you. I'd be mad if you stayed the same! The Holy Healing Pill, a drop of ferocious beast blood essence, a drop of Body Refining Liquid, and a stalk of Serpent Orchid Herb. Each expert would increase their strength to a higher level after taking all these types of items. ”
Ah Lang suddenly recalled the previous scene and retreated quickly with a face full of vigilance. Then, he asked in a heavy tone, “Who exactly are you?”
“Now, now. Have you forgotten what you just said? ” Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “You just called me Divine Doctor Tang, didn't you?”
Ah Lang shook his head and replied, “No. There's no way you could do such an act if you were only a Divine Doctor. ”
Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and replied, “Take my ordeal now and I'll let you know if you can get through it. But you are not qualified to know my true identity if you fail. ”
“Tes what kind?” Ah Lang looked hesitant for a while before he replied with a nod, “I accept!”
Tang Xiu took out a book from the interspatial ring and threw it at the boy. “You should be able to read. This manual is a record of cultivation techniques. My request to you is very simple. There are a total of 4,786 characters written in it, excluding punctuation marks and the like. If you can memorize everything in half an hour and can recite it in person, you can consider yourself to have passed the first small exam. ”
“Quite fair.” Ah Lang nodded and accepted the cultivation technique manual. He read the title “The Art of Tempering Souls, Hearts, and Roh” on the cover. But after he opened and read the first page, he looked dumbfounded and surprised.
“Start ... now,” says Tang Xiu.
“I don't think I can do this.” Ah Lang shook his head and said, “I wouldn't feel much pressure if this was written in a common language and I could do it with great difficulty. But these are written in classical Mandarin and some of them are simply. I can't do this. ”
Tang Xiu's complexion turned cold and he said in a heavy tone, “You better remember one thing from now on. You're a man, and a man never says he can't do it! No matter how difficult it is and regardless of how many failures you feel, you should give it a try! ”
Ah Lang looked at Tang Xiu and knelt down suddenly before he tilted his head and said, “If ... if I can memorize it, can you .. regard me as your disciple?”
Tang Xiu gently waved his hand and a stream of energy pulled Ah Lang off the floor. He then lightly said, “If you can pass this exam, I will not accept you as a disciple, but I will regard you as my disciple. A teacher may have many students, but a Teacher only has a few students. ”
