Wednesday replied: "The selection has been made. [Heishui Tower] has been adopting some orphans over the years and giving them some work to do. Counting there are thousands of them."

"But according to your requirements, brother, there are only 218 people who are between thirteen and fifteen years old, agile, loyal, and literate."

Hong Kang was surprised: "There are so many? I thought there were only a hundred people at most!"

"Who taught them how to read? You~?"

Wednesday shook his head and said, "It's the fourth child."

Hong Kang nodded, feeling a little relieved.

He asked Wednesday to select these young people in order to train a group of guardians for [Blackwater Tower], but to practice martial arts, you must understand the secrets!

Although it is not necessary to master the Four Books and Five Classics, literacy is a must.

Hong Kang didn't want to teach people from scratch.

"Send them here! In the following days, I will train them personally, and all kinds of resources will have to keep up."

"Also, you and the fourth child have to train together. Qingyang can take care of these chores for the time being."

Zhou Zhou asked doubtfully: "Qingyang has outstanding talents, so if she is asked to take care of chores, won't this affect her practice?"

Hong Kang said: "This girl's current state can no longer be broken through hard work. She needs to come into contact with all kinds of people from all walks of life."

"Sometimes, management is also a kind of practice."

After figuring out the martial arts skills of the two men on Wednesday and Thursday, Hong Kang modified the sword skills he had given them before.

In Wednesday's "Canglang Sword", Hong Kang once again raised its power by two levels. At the same time, he happened to be in Dongting Lake. Practicing swordsmanship in Dongting Lake every day became Wednesday's daily homework.

Hong Kang said: "Learn from heaven and earth, understand the changing water potential, and integrate it into your own sword skills. From now on, this Dongting Lake will be your best teacher."

"The softest water can ride on the strongest water in the world!"

Then he pointed his finger at the center of Zhou Zhou's eyebrows and conveyed all his insights about this sword technique.

Hong Kang didn't treat Thursday any differently.

There are seventy-two peaks on Junshan Mountain, and there is an unnamed valley, which is just at the intersection of the four peaks. The mountain wind roars and dances every day. This is an excellent place for the practice of "Walking on the Wind" on Thursday.

At the same time, Hong Kang asked the two of them to start practicing "Thunder Sound Stake" to strengthen their physical bodies.

In the past, two people could not get started.

Now, the two people's martial arts cultivation has improved, and Hong Kang also has the ability to "imprint the heart with the heart" to convey insights, so he can naturally practice this [Yi Marrow] martial arts!

………………

As for the 218 selected people, Hong Kang put all his energy into training them.

The study of various martial arts theoretical knowledge, the response to various martial arts moves, and the dismantling methods...

It's not the traditional master-disciple inheritance, or the streamlined practice in the army.

After laying a good foundation for them, Hong Kang spent nearly a month designing a personalized martial arts training program for them based on each person's exercise habits, length of hands and feet, physical aptitudes, personality preferences and other characteristics.

All aspects including internal strength and lightness strength, evolution of true energy attributes, etc. are taken into consideration.

Fists, feet, legs, claws, swords, sticks, whips, spears, hooks and forks, strange hidden weapons...etc.

Then, on the premise of not harming life, the "cultivation of gu" type of practice is carried out.

These two hundred and eighteen people were orphans before and had no worries. Moreover, they had already experienced the hardships in life before being adopted by [Blackwater Tower], so they cherished this opportunity very much.

Although the homework assigned by Hong Kang was very heavy and gave them almost no time for leisure, none of them complained about being tired and they all persisted.

Because Hong Kang said: "You have to have a small competition every three months and a big competition every year."

"The competition at the end of the year will decide whether some people will stay or go. In the end, I will only keep 108 people!"

"Among the one hundred and eight people, they will be divided into "Thirty-six Tiangang" and "Seventy-two Disha" according to their merits, and they will become my most elite trump card in [Heishui Tower]~!"

The eyes of these boys and girls all shined with desire.

Their lives were all saved by [Blackwater Tower], so they were naturally willing to dedicate their own efforts.

At the same time, I was also worried that only 108 people were left in the end~!

Hong Kang added: "In addition, those who are unsuccessful should not be discouraged. The two teams of "Tiangang" and "Disha" are not static. If someone feels that they have made rapid progress in the future, they can also challenge them."

"In a word——"

"The capable ones go up, the mediocre ones give way, and the mediocre ones go down!!"

The boys and girls below were full of ambition and shouted in unison:

"The rivers are endless, the lakes and seas are endless; the black water is surging, covering the whole world!!"

……………

Lin Pingzhi met Hong Kang.

Lin Pingzhi, dressed in white, stood in front of Hong Kang, feeling the aura that seemed to exist but also seemed not to exist. In his heart, he was curious and longing for the state of Hong Kang's cultivation.

Hong Kang looked at Lin Pingzhi in front of him. His clothes were as white as snow and his figure was as straight as a sword.

He smiled and said, "The child who was hiding behind the pillar has now grown into a handsome young man. Time flies so fast!"

Lin Pingzhi bowed his hands and said, "Pingzhi has met Mr. Hong."

"I haven't seen you for many years. Mr. Hong is even more charming than before!"

Hong Kang asked: "Master Lin came to see Hong this time for something important?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "Firstly, it is to thank Mr. Hong for his kindness; secondly, it is of course for the exchange of martial arts at [Heishui Tower]."

He took out two booklets: "Mr. Hong has already seen the "Evil Sword Manual". This is "One Hundred and Eight Styles of Heaven-shaking Palm" and "Silver Feather Arrow Technique" passed down by my great-grandfather Yuantu. Please ask Hong. Take a look, sir."

Suction force appeared in Hong Kang's palm, and two books immediately flew into his hand.

After a rough browse, you can roughly understand its level, which is about the level of C middle school.

However, Hong Kang gave him a copy of "Lei Yin Zhuang" in exchange for it.

"You have a high level of swordsmanship now, but your martial arts body is similar to that of an ordinary warrior. This book "Thunder Sound Stake" can help you change your marrow and obtain a powerful martial body."

Lin Pingzhi looked excited but also worried.

He has only heard of Shaolin Temple's "Yi Jin Jing" about martial arts that can change marrow and blood. Is this "Thunder Sound Stake" a martial arts of that level?!

It's hard to accept such a heavy gift.

"Mr. Hong, this..."

Even though his heart was extremely excited, Lin Pingzhi would inevitably feel uneasy if he didn't ask clearly.

Hong Kang saw his situation and said: "Master Lin, don't worry too much. Hong just wants to do business with your escort agency. After all, Fuwei Escort Agency's business is spread all over the southern provinces."

When cooperating with [Heishui Tower], if it were Lin Zhennan, he might have to consider the ideas of fellow Jianghu people, but Lin Pingzhi has experienced Jianghu for several years and has clearly seen the essence of this Jianghu. Strength is the foundation.

"Thanks to Mr. Hong for being considerate, Pingzhi agreed."

"Don't you need to go back and ask your father for instructions?"

"Dad said that no matter what decision Pingzhi makes during this trip, he will support it."

"In that case, Mr. Lin, would you like to join me in [Heishui Tower]?"
Chapter completed!
