Chapter 509 I, Ju Qingden, just want to collect my talents like crazy!

"Your strength is not good, your basic skills are too poor, you have neither outstanding swordsmanship skills nor excellent physical fitness that can impress me, so you are unqualified, it's as simple as that."

Aoto's sharp comments made Mantaro Taniguchi's face turn red immediately.

He planned to argue again, but was interrupted by Qingdeng:

"Taniguchi Mantaro, I advise you to stay down. If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, it will not be good for you."

As he spoke, Qingdeng showed off some of his "power".

Although the "power" he released was really only "a little bit" compared to the total amount, it was already an unbearable burden for a young man who was just starting out.

In an instant, Mantaro Taniguchi's face turned pale and his legs became weak.

The angry expression and unconvinced eyes disappeared immediately.

No matter how much the rabbit glares or bares its teeth, it is nothing but a joke in front of the deep dragon's roar.

He did not dare to stand in front of Qingdeng anymore, so he staggered and ran away down the stage.

"Next! Hitaro Arakawa!"

…

"You are not qualified, go down."

"Next! Jiro Hojo!"

…

"You're qualified! Go over there and fill in your personal information!"

"Next! Ryuzaburo! Ryuzaburo from Mizuwa Village!"

…

"You are not qualified, go down."

"Next! Asakura Hanshiro!"

…

"You are not qualified, go down."

"Next! Asaburo Hirata!"

…

"You are not qualified, go down."

…

…

The selection process was extremely fast.

Because almost every applicant who takes the stage, whether civilian or warrior, cannot stand on the high stage for a long time.

Everyone was first attacked by Qingden and then subdued by one blow, without exception.

On average, Qingdeng can evaluate 1 or 2 people in one minute - if it weren't for the fact that it takes a certain amount of time for applicants to line up, pick up weapons, and walk up to the high platform, otherwise the selection speed would be even faster.

In addition to the surprisingly fast selection speed, the selection criteria are also jaw-droppingly strict.

So far, very few people have passed the examination, and on average only one out of every ten people has walked off the stage with a smile.

Those words "You are not qualified, go out" are like a heavy hammer, hitting the heart of every applicant.

Many warriors who were relatively good in the eyes of others were ruthlessly brushed aside by Qingdeng.

As for those who have been eliminated, some are unwilling and some are angry.

But they only dared to complain and did not dare to openly question Qingdeng's decision, let alone openly challenge Qingdeng.

Just kidding! He is a benevolent king!

If a three-year-old child laughs at your mediocre skills, you will probably be angry.

But if Nioh says that you are not strong enough... what else can you do besides holding your nose and admitting it?

What's more, this is the "Zhenfu Army Recruitment Site", and the Edo Shogunate endorses and stands for Aoto.

In other words, disrespecting Ayoto here and now is tantamount to disrespecting the shogunate.

Although the shogunate has declined, it is still slightly more powerful than ordinary people.

After seeing Qingdeng's severity, many people who thought they were not strong enough retreated. Even if they heard the officers calling their names, they pretended not to have heard them and did not dare to go forward.

In addition, what stunned everyone was Qingdeng's physical strength.

Fighting against the thousands of applicants present one by one... Many people thought Qingdeng's move was crazy.

It wasn't until they saw Qingdeng's abnormal physical abilities with their own eyes that they realized belatedly that he might really be able to turn "crazy ideas" into "sane judgments."

Although Qingdeng always kills everyone with one blow and the victory is over in ten seconds, after all, he has fought dozens of people in a row!

Even if you don't do anything, just stand and swing the bamboo sword mechanically, you should still feel weak in your hands and sore in your feet, right?

However, the reality presented before everyone's eyes was that except for a few drops of sweat on Qingdeng's forehead, his breathing was not disturbed, his breathing was still steady, and his steps were still solid and powerful.

"Nioh-sama is so dedicated!" - I don't know who it was, but he suddenly said this with emotion.

Immediately afterwards, the recognition of "The King of Ren is diligent and conscientious" and "The King of Ren is diligent and conscientious" quickly spread among the crowd like the wind.

People...especially those who already admired Qingdeng, took it for granted that Qingdeng must have personally done it to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Suppression and Fu Army, and went to great lengths to personally test the strength of each applicant.

He is indeed a good official who fulfills his duties!

Thinking of this, more and more people cast increasingly admiring glances at Qingdeng on the high platform.

In this way, without Qingdeng's knowledge, his personal image became even more majestic.

If these people who think about it without authorization and worship without authorization know the real purpose of Qingdeng's choice of team members in this way, they will definitely be very disappointed.

After sending the 28th man off the field, the mechanical sound that Qingdeng had been waiting for for a long time finally sounded in his mind:

[Ding! Talent scanned]

[Successfully copied talent: "Whitening"]

[Talent Introduction: Skin is not easy to tan]

Qingden raised his eyebrows sharply.

Finally copied the talent!

And it’s a new talent that I haven’t seen in a long time!

Although this new talent is useless, it is better than nothing.

Yes.

The reason why Qingdeng adopts this method to select team members is just to naturally gather talents!

Don't miss every opportunity to gather your talents - this is a way of life that has long been integrated into Qingdeng's flesh and blood.

As early as the day he accepted the commission to "raise troops to Luo", Qingdeng planned to take advantage of this great opportunity to "make a lot of money"!

Recruitment and selection will last from January 3 to January 20.

A full 17 days... God knows how many talents he can gather in these 17 days!

There are thousands of applicants gathered here today alone!

Of course, Qingdeng doesn't expect that he can copy many talents from now on, let alone how awesome he is.

There are always only a handful of people with outstanding talents.

The vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people with nothing to gain.

Aoden had been living a life of "talking and laughing with great scholars, but never coming and going". The people he saw and fought were all martial arts wizards headed by Souji, and top men headed by Boss Kiryu.

Because of this, he was able to frequently copy those god-level talents with terrifying effects.

Most of the people who came to apply for the Zhenfu Army were civilians and middle- and lower-level warriors who either dreamed of becoming famous or had a hard time living and wanted to fight for their lives.

Are there any hidden talents among them who look ordinary at first glance, but actually possess top talents?

Maybe, but Qingdeng doesn't have strong expectations.

If you can copy useful talents, that would be the best. If you end up copying only some subtle talents, then it doesn't matter - this is Qingdeng's current mentality.

However, to say that Qingdeng personally reviewed the strength of the applicants was not to ensure the quality of the Suppressing Army, that is not the case.

Under Tokugawa Iemo's series of preferential policies, the Zhenfu Army was basically Aomori's personal tribe.

Since these people will be our soldiers in the future, there is no reason to treat them casually.

Another reason why Qingdeng took the trouble to compete with the applicants one by one was that he wanted to use his plug-in to check whether there were really bright pearls lost in the ocean.

His system is an excellent tool for distinguishing who is a loser with superficial appearance and who is a truly talented person.
