My Cultivation Starting from Archery

"First, let's start with the Selected Point,"

Chen Sansi said, "Choose the Selected Point carefully, you may even rank higher than me."

Those who could participate in the banquet all possessed outstanding qualifications and realms.

"Then I will follow you! General, even if you rank lower, it's only temporary, and I believe you will definitely win!"

Bai Tingzhi firmly said, "General, I'm sorry about today! I'll catch you an Exotic Beast later as an apology."

Chen Sansi was slightly surprised, "You know where to find an Exotic Beast?"

"Yes."

Bai Tingzhi said, "I've been in Liangzhou for three months, with no money on me. To improve my Cultivation, I could only rely on the mountains; after two months of exploring, I finally found traces of the Exotic Beasts a few days ago."

"That's good."

Chen Sansi agreed, "Come to my residence tomorrow, and we'll go up the mountain together."

"Yes, General!"

Only then did Bai Tingzhi cease following him.

"What is this, my fanatic fan?"

Chen Sansi looked at the other's fervent gaze, somewhat unaccustomed.

With the trouble at the Hongze River and the old Emperor's proclamation to the whole world, he seemed to have truly become a celebrity.

It's just that his Cultivation realm was too low.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but this year every genius from all over had swarmed to Liangzhou, raising the standards of the Selected Point by more than double, making it seem somewhat insufficient.

Upon returning to his residence, Si Qin and Mo Hua had already arranged everything properly.

Chen Sansi only needed to eat and practice martial arts.

[Progress: 423/1000]

At night, naturally, it was time to fulfill the duties of a husband and wife.

Early the next morning.

Bai Tingzhi was waiting at the door.

But before they could leave for the mountain to hunt, they were found by Li Qianzong: "Both of you, please come with me to the Eight Camps first. General Fang will announce the first major task of this assessment."

"Isn't the Selected Point starting in ten days?"

"Mr. Chen will understand once you're there."

The Eight Camps, unlike the garrison troops, comprised the elite of the elite. The place they resided was naturally not mere tents but a specially designated area, you could say a city within a city.

Along the way, the patrolling soldiers they encountered were all dressed in exquisite armour, wielding fine weapons, and each one full of vigor. One glance was enough to know they possessed extraordinary combat strength.

There were several dozens of Martial Arts Arenas, large and small.

In the Central Army Martial Arts Arena, Fang Qingyun sat on a high platform, below which the Reserve Generals for this Selected Point were gathered.

Everyone was given a Map of the Array.

Chen Sansi held the Map of the Array, easily recognizing it as the Four-Door Sinking Formation.

This Formation was aligned according to the Bagua, typically once deployed, each square's soldiers would interlock, gradually becoming unified, crossing each other regardless of where the enemy was positioned, making them feel completely surrounded.

It was a top-tier difficult Formation, testing greatly the cooperation and tacit understanding of the soldiers, as well as whether they could maintain it.

"Gentlemen!"

Fang Qingyun spoke slowly, his voice clear, "Selected Point chooses Generals who command troops. If a military officer can't even deploy troops and arrange formations, then he will forever only be responsible for charging into the formation, being a mere warrior.

"So, the first assessment of the Selected Point is deploying the Formation!

"Among you, those who have studied military strategies should have already recognized this Formation as the 'Four-Door Sinking Formation', a top-tier difficult Formation.

"Coming up, Liangzhou's General Zhao will pull a group of troops from his command, all being the elite of the elites from Liangzhou garrison troops. Each of you will be able to personally select troops from them.

"Afterwards, you have nine days to arrange and practice the Formation. After nine days, we will conduct the assessment here.

"At that time, the Commander, governor, supervisor, and several Generals will come to observe the Formation. Whoever trains the smoothest and most solid Formation, that doesn't disperse in chaos, will be victorious!

"Okay, you may now go to General Zhao to receive your troops. The training starts today!"

With that, the announcement of the rules was complete.

The Selected Spear Generals, one by one, headed towards General Zhao, preparing to go to another Martial Arts Arena to select their troops.

Deploying the Formation!

Chen Sansi, having the [Training Soldiers Skillfully] trait, was confident that even if he was given raw recruits, as long as they had learned Pile Work, he could train the Formation in nine days to ensure it was smooth.

However, he wasn't sure how sturdy the Formation would turn out to be and by what means it would be tested.

Compared to that, he trusted his own men more.

Those men, they all possessed the [Sinking Formation Death Will].

Thinking this, Chen Sansi stepped forward and asked, "General Fang, may I use the troops I brought from Po Yang?"

"Oh? Of course, you can."

fFang Qingyun nodded, "But you may want to think it over, the rest are using the elites from the Liangzhou Guard, who just recently battled barbarians outside the Great Wall. The people you brought from Po Yang..."

"I'm certain!"

Chen Sansi declared firmly.
