THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 71

After dispelling his frustrating thoughts with great difficulty, Ling Tian looked at the group, and asked them another question, “When does the recruitment of troops for our country begin?”

The crowd was stunned for a moment, before Feng Mo replied, “Recruits? Recruitment what?”

Now it was Ling Tian's turn to stare in shock. “No recruitment for new army?”

Everyone shook their heads as Feng Mo replied again, “The world is so peaceful right now, what use are we to recruit soldiers?”

Whoa!

Ling Tian was stunned speechless, “Only because of peace, no need for recruitment?”

The group replied as if it was natural, “Ordinary recruits are done once every five years and there are recruitment held last year. Since we are not at war at the moment and the military does not face a shortage of manpower, there is no need for recruitment! Unless we are in a state of imminent war, or there are too many old and sick soldiers, whether recruitment will begin once again to fill the old with new ones.”

Feng Mo also added, “In my strange ten years in the army, I only saw recruitment held twice!”

No war means no recruitment? Recruiting soldiers once every five years?! Ling Tian covered his face with this and had absolutely no words to describe it! No wonder dynasties change so often and no wonder why this continent has seven kingdoms living in it! The reason is because of this! Managing their military like that, if the empire did not die, then it would be strange!

There is no misfortune in getting ready! What do the Kings and Officials do every day? Do they think they can live happily ever after after they establish a kingdom? No worries at all? No awareness of difficulties? Ling Tian felt that his mind was unable to keep up with the times.

Ling Tian's original thought was to borrow the state recruits, keeping some new recruits secretly with the influence of their families. Then, he would give them his own training turning them into his personal soldiers. However, this plan had now completely failed! Five years of recruitment! How could Ling Tian wait? It goes without saying that the plan needs to be changed.

Looking at Feng Mo and his friends, he said, “The Ling Family Page will be completed in about three months. Based on my own plans and estimates, at least we can have ten thousand men inside training at the same time. Since the Empire is not recruiting soldiers, I will leave this section for you to do. My requirements are those who are over 15 years old but under 25, take as much as you can. This will be your first mission. Feng Mo, you are responsible for handling this, whatever method you wish to use, I will hand it over to you. However, when you get those people, you should take them inside the Ling Family Page without any news spreading. Ling Tian thought for a bit longer before continuing, “One recruitment might be too big and attract too much attention, so you can break it down into several groups.

Feng Mo stood up straight and cupped his fists, saying, “Yes! I will obey Young Noble's orders!”

Ling Tian considered the scenario once again before sighing, “Feng Mo, I want you to choose another pair to take over the Violent Wind Gang. In three years, I want all the underground forces in the capital to be under our control! Dear friends, you can help at any time! Any matter can be decided of your own accord, there is no need to go through me. Oh, by the way, do not touch the Blood Rose Hall, it is reserved for Ling Jian!”

Ling Jian lifted with gratitude, “Thank you very much, Young Noble!”

Everyone's faces sparkled in excitement, knowing that Ling Tian would start teaching martial arts. They all rushed out like a swarm of bees.

The piled snow was pure white, with moonlight resembling flowing water.

Ling Tian stood casually in the courtyard, holding a knife, saying, “All of your martial arts actually have no style to speak of. It was only created after countless grinding processes on the battlefield. However, it will never be enough for all of you to wander around unhindered, and to protect your life if you only rely on it. Watch and learn.”

Pulling out his blade, Ling Tian stood up tilting towards the sky. His own person seemed to exude a terrifying aura, making it difficult to breathe even for those around him.

Slowly tilting his blade down, he immediately followed up with the entire set of blade work. At that moment, the snow exploded indefinitely, and blade energy flew into the sky. Even though they only faced one person with one sword, in the heart of the 36 Iron Blood Warriors, they seemed to have been teleported back to the battlefield, witnessed the momentum and killing intent of a thousand cavalry and ten thousand foot soldiers as they fought for supremacy!

One blade moved, and the souls of all present were poured over!

Very quickly, Ling Tian finished and stored his sword while straightening himself. Staring at the enchanted expressions of all present, he laughed, “Set of this sword work is named ‘Slaughter of a Thousand Soldiers!’ In addition to using it for close combat, it is best suited for a confrontation between two camps, where one of them is surrounded by many enemies. In the future, I will give to you all here this set of working swords, for the internal art of its complement, I will also pass it on to you. ”

The faces of those present simultaneously appeared expressions of ecstasy! They all hurriedly bowed in gratitude. For such a ferocious and powerful sword job, if it were to be successfully passed down to them, the overall strength of everyone here would definitely be greatly increased! Furthermore, from what their Young Nobles had said, there was also a set of internal arts that could complement it. Everyone present knew that any form of internal art was a secret among secrets. To think that they have the opportunity to learn it and become one of the very powerful individuals in fairy tales. All of their hearts could not help but race as their blood boiled in excitement!

After dispersing the crowd, Ling Tian looked at Ling Jian and Ling Chen who were staring at him with wide eyes, and laughed out loud. “Why are you looking at me like that? No need to worry, I must have something good for you two. Follow me!”

After Ling Tian finished imparting the mnemonic of the Divine Shocking Dragon Formula and the Divine Ice Formula to Ling Jian and Ling Chen respectively, he then used his internal strength to guide the two of them on how to twist the energy within their bodies. By the time he finished, it was already bright outside. Looking at each other, the three of them could not help but laugh, even though they had not slept for one night, the three of them were suddenly filled with energy, without the slightest bit of fatigue.

Casually stretching his waist, Ling Tian slowly walked out of his door and narrowed his eyes, staring at the sunrise in the far east. His face loosened into a carefree smile.

The rising sun seemed to accommodate Ling Tian's petite body, bathing him in countless golden suns.

Behind him, both Ling Jian and Ling Chen looked at Ling Tian as he immersed himself in the sunlight, with admiration and adoration in their eyes.
