Department of Demon Suppression.
Wei Fuguang looked at Jiang Changkong with a surprised expression.
A breakthrough so soon?
With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that with Jiang Changkong's martial arts foundation, it would take at least three months to break through to the second level of martial arts, even with the support of Zhuang Ti Powder.
But now, the breakthrough has occurred in less than ten days.
What magic elixir did you take?
"Are you here today?"
Perhaps because Jiang Biejie's influence in his heart had not faded, Wei Fuguang did not put on any airs about the "fake nephew" of his late apprentice in front of him.
But Jiang Changkong felt helpless in response to Wei Fuguang's questions.
It was here a few days ago that I personally told him that he could apply to become a trainee Black Guard if he met the conditions.
I didn't expect to forget it so quickly.
But his face was calm. He looked solemn, clasped his fists and said, "Back to your lord, this subordinate is here to assess the trainee black guards at your request."
"Are you going to assess the trainee black guards at my request?" Wei Fuguang was slightly startled.
Then I remembered.
At that time, out of sadness for Jiang Biejie's disciple, I casually said that I would give him, this 'fake nephew', a chance to become a Black Guard, including a trainee Black Guard.
I didn’t expect this kid to take it seriously.
But he never expected that this kid would break through to the second level in such a short period of time.
This was beyond his expectation.
But now that he has said it, he will not change his words or be perfunctory at will.
As the commander of the Demon Suppression Department, he still has this kind of tolerance.
"Yes, yes." Wei Fuguang nodded and said, "I told you at the time that you can apply to become a trainee black guard if you meet the conditions. I don't know if you can achieve it."
Brother, whether you can meet the standard or not is not a matter of your words. It actually needs to be assessed.
Jiang Changkong complained in his heart.
But his face remained calm, he clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please review."
Anyway, it's best if you can pass the exam. If you fail the exam, wait until you break through to the third level of martial arts next time, and then directly take the Black Martial Guard exam.
He would never let go of the opportunity to become the Black Armed Guard of the Demon Suppression Division.
This is both a system task and his plan.
Fighting alone in this dangerous world is far less convenient and safer than relying on an organization.
The largest organization in this country is naturally the government.
Therefore, even if he fails to pass the exam, he still has to show up often, at least to show his face.
He wanted the commander to always think of and remember his perhaps casual promise.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that the commander-in-chief would forget about it.
After all, he was just Jiang Bieli, the "fake nephew" of the dead Hei Wuwei, and he was just an insignificant person in the eyes of the other party.
This was also the reason why he came to try to assess the trainee black martial guards as soon as he broke through to the second level of martial arts.
Besides, what if it happens?
Wouldn't that please everyone?
Wei Fuguang didn't know about Xiao Jiujiu in Jiang Changkong's heart, so he nodded and smiled and said, "Since you are willing to try, I will give you this opportunity."
As he spoke, he pointed to a two-meter-high black stone in the yard and said, "This is a test stone. As long as you can strike with one blow..."
Having said this, he glanced at Jiang Changkong and said, "...Well, you used a sword. Well, not bad."
"Go and strike at the test stone with your sword. As long as you can strike three inches deep with one strike, you will pass."
Jiang Changkong looked at the black stone not far away. There were many marks of knife marks on it. It was obvious that it had been chopped by people frequently. It should be to test the sharpness of the knife.
But it also shows that this black stone is very hard.
Otherwise, it cannot be used as a test stone.
However, it was unnecessary for him to go in front of him and chop it.
Either don’t do it, or be high-profile if you do.
Jiang Changkong knew very well that he couldn't keep a low profile at this time.
Because people who are worthless will never be taken seriously.
Therefore, he not only needs to show value, but also needs to show super high value!
He stood there without moving, the sword intention surging in his body. He stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, took a step forward with his right foot, suddenly pulled out the green steel sword, and swung the sword——
Swish——
A flash of sword light flashed across the top of the test stone.
Clang!
The green steel sword returns to its sheath.
Wei Fuguang, who was a little unconcerned at first, was shocked. He looked at the test stone blankly.
what the hell? A second-level martial artist can actually draw a sword from a distance?
At this moment, a small part of the test stone slipped gently, revealing a flat and smooth cut.
The black stone that fell to the ground made a muffled sound, waking Wei Fuguang up, and his eyes suddenly widened.
He rushed to the test stone, touched the cut on the smooth surface, and felt the sword intent that had not had time to completely dissipate, and his heart beat wildly.
Sword intent!
This is the sword intention!
Wei Fuguang felt like his heart was about to beat out.
Isn't this a joke?
A boy who had just broken through to the second level of martial arts actually understood the meaning of the sword? ! !
If this were told, who would believe it? !
This scene completely subverted Wei Fuguang's cognition.
genius!
Absolutely genius!
This is the future great master!
It can be said that as long as one can understand the artistic conception, the road to become a great master in the future will be smooth.
Wei Fuguang was overjoyed.
Developed!
If such people are cultivated, the future will be bright!
He suddenly turned to look at Jiang Changkong, as if looking at a peerless beauty.
Those fiery eyes almost melted Jiang Changkong.
Like a gust of wind, he stepped in front of Jiang Changkong, suppressed his excitement and announced:
"Jiang Changkong, you are admitted!"
"From today on, you are a trainee of the Black Guards!"
"Furthermore, once you break through to the third level of martial arts, you will automatically become an official Black Martial Guard, and there is no need to take another assessment. I will log in the information and report it immediately."
"From now on, you are the supervisor of Nanping Town. If you have anything, you can report it directly to me."
"Thank you, sir!"
Jiang Changkong cupped his fists and bowed.
Wei Fuguang helped him up and said with a smile: "You're welcome. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Wei."
When Jiang Changkong heard this, he knew it, and Wei Fuguang was completely moved by his exposed strength.
He didn't hesitate immediately and said with a generous fist, "Uncle Wei."
"good!"
Wei Fuguang was overjoyed immediately when he saw Jiang Changkong taking the road.
"Since you call me uncle, I can't let you go empty-handed. This is a welcome gift."
As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it over.
"You are currently at the second level of martial arts, and you happen to be in the bone-tempering realm. I happen to have a bone-strengthening pill here. Come, give it to you, as a meeting gift for you."
Bone Strengthening Pill!
Jiang Changkong's eyes lit up.
When he was buying Zhuang Ti Powder, he heard it from the shopkeeper.
Bone-Strengthening Pill, as the name suggests, is a bone-strengthening pill. It is extremely effective for bone-tempering warriors.
A bone-strengthening pill is worth five hundred taels of silver, which is very expensive.
Unexpectedly, Wei Fuguang was willing to give him such a valuable gift.
Jiang Changkong was not polite. After receiving it, he cupped his fists and said, "I don't dare to say goodbye to this gift. Thank you Uncle Wei!"
"Hahaha, you don't have to be so polite. When you become successful in the future, just don't forget about uncle."
Wei Fuguang laughed.
Jiang Changkong looked solemn and said: "Uncle Wei, although I don't know much, I know the word "repay the kindness". Uncle Wei has helped me so much, how dare I be ungrateful!"
Who doesn't know how to draw a big cake? Besides, Wei Fuguang is a pretty good person.
He was given a position, an expensive bone-strengthening pill, and a promise.
This means that from now on, Wei Fuguang is the big boss supporting him.
If you don’t hug this thigh, it’s useless.
Wei Fuguang was very satisfied with Jiang Changkong's answer.
"By the way, Uncle Wei, yesterday Zhang Hu and the others fished out a rotting human head from the Lanshui River. They are currently freezing it in the dungeon..."
Jiang Changkong told what happened yesterday.
"Rotting heads..."
Wei Fuguang thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. You have just taken over Nanping Town. You are inexperienced in this kind of thing. I will ask Ji Rong to investigate this matter. You should still focus on cultivation."
Jiang Changkong nodded, "Okay."
Wei Fuguang walked into the room and took out an iron black sign from a cabinet.
Turning around and handing it to Jiang Changkong, "This is your identity tag. It's just a trainee now. I hope it will be replaced by the official Heiwuwei identity tag soon."
Jiang Changkong took it with both hands, clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Wei, don't worry, I believe it will be done soon."
With the Bone Strengthening Pill and three packets of Intermediate Body Strengthening Powder, according to the current cultivation speed, he is absolutely sure to break through to the third level of martial arts within half a month.
Of course, it was not convenient for him to say this to Wei Fuguang.
Seeing Jiang Changkong's confidence, Wei Fuguang looked pleased, "Heiwuwei's salary is fifty taels of silver per month. Although you are a trainee now, you should refer to the salary of Heiwuwei, which is also fifty taels of silver per month."
Jiang Changkong thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
This was Wei Fuguang's announcement to him as the commander, and he would naturally use the title 'Sir'.
"Okay, is there anything else you need my help with?"
Wei Fuguang smiled and said, "As long as I can provide it, I will not refuse it."
Jiang Changkong was about to say that he didn't need it, after all, Wei Fuguang had just given him a bone-strengthening pill.
But when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind.
He pretended to be a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Sir, can you advance your salary first?"
Wei Fuguang was stunned, "Have you used up Jiang Biejie's pension?"
Jiang Changkong nodded and didn't hide anything, "I was originally in poor health, so part of the money replenished my health, and part of it was spent on strengthening my body."
I see!
Wei Fuguang suddenly realized.
Being poor in literature and rich in military affairs is definitely not something you say casually.
The cultivation of warriors cannot be separated from a large number of resources.
Then he took out two hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and said with a smile: "This is your salary for four months, you don't have to pay it back."
Jiang Changkong was overjoyed and took the fist and saluted: "Thank you, sir!"
Wei Fuguang smiled and nodded, "What else do you want?"
"there is none left."
Jiang Changkong said.
It would be too greedy to ask for anything more.
"If Uncle Wei has no other instructions, I will go back first."
"good."
Wei Fuguang nodded.
Jiang Changkong immediately resigned and left.
Wei Fuguang stood in the courtyard, looking at Jiang Changkong's retreating back, the corners of his mouth raised.
"Second-grade martial arts, understanding the meaning of the sword, this is a dazzling piece of jade..."
Then he didn't know what he thought of. He clenched his fists and slowly turned his face to look in the direction of the capital. The corners of his mouth raised, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
