We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 317: You Have to Call Me Boss
After leaving the Xiao Manor, Xiao Mo went to the Ministry of War to report.
The Ministry of War asked about Xiao Mo’s household registration and realm.
When they learned that Xiao Mo had already entered the early stage of the Cave Mansion realm, the official responsible for registration couldn’t help but raise his head, his eyes carrying some surprise.
Finally, the Ministry of War gave Xiao Mo a token and had him go on his own to the Iron Tiger Army camp at the northern gate of the imperial capital.
Before long, Xiao Mo arrived at his destination.
Xiao Mo raised his head and saw two stone slabs three zhang long and a wooden board hanging high above.
On the stones were carved,
“Those seeking promotion and wealth, please go elsewhere.”
“Those who fear death, do not enter this gate.”
On the wooden board were written three powerful characters by the Qin Kingdom’s ruler, Iron Tiger Army.
Xiao Mo withdrew his gaze and strode forward.
In Xiao Mo’s view, rather than calling it a military camp, it was more like a huge fortress.
Various wooden houses stood throughout.
Some people were running bare-chested around the training ground carrying sections of mountain ironwood weighing about a thousand jin.
Some had their hands and feet bound with black iron and were punching wooden posts.
Still others were inside large iron cages, directly fighting fierce beasts.
The entire Iron Tiger Army camp was filled with the violent blood energy of martial cultivators.
Even if some wandering ghosts and spirits hadn’t entered the camp yet, just standing outside the gate, they would be scattered by the blood energy.
Xiao Mo submitted the token given by the Ministry of War at the wooden house named “Tiger Cubs.”
The Iron Tiger Army steward released a carrier pigeon, then had Xiao Mo wait obediently.
Before long, a burly man with solid muscles all over walked into the wooden house and said with full vigor, “You’re the new little guy called Xiao Mo? A concubine-born son of the Northern Pacification Prince’s Xiao Manor?”
“That’s correct.” Xiao Mo replied.
The burly man scratched his head and complained in a low voice, “What’s going on here? Why did they send me a weakling? He looks so frail, just like a pretty boy scholar.”
Xiao Mo, “…”
“Forget it.” As if accepting reality, the burly man scratched his head and looked seriously at Xiao Mo, “Boy, from today on, I’m your instructor. My surname is Chang, given name Xin. Just call me Instructor Chang. Got it?”
“Got it, Instructor Chang.” Xiao Mo nodded.
“Alright, let’s go. I’ll take you to where you’ll be staying.” Instructor Chang turned and walked out of the wooden house. Xiao Mo naturally followed behind him.
“You’ve probably heard about our Iron Tiger Army. To sum it up in one sentence, if the training doesn’t kill you, then we’ll train you to death! If you get trained to death by me, you can only blame yourself for being too weak. Got it?”
Chang Xin said while leading Xiao Mo forward.
“Got it, Instructor Chang.”
Chang Xin continued telling Xiao Mo about matters in the Iron Tiger Army, “Although you’ve reached the Cave Mansion realm at such a young age, don’t be too complacent. I’ve seen too many geniuses. Boy, remember one thing. Only those who survive deserve to be called geniuses. All those who died are idiots without exception. Then, the most important thing in our Iron Tiger Army is discipline! Any violation of military orders is extremely serious!”
“Everyone in the Iron Tiger Army comes from all over the Qin Kingdom. There’s no shortage of legitimate sons of princes and high officials. You’re the son of the Northern Pacification Prince, though a concubine-born son, you’re still a young master. If not living in luxury, at least you’ve had no worries about food and clothing. But so what? In the Iron Tiger Army, everyone is the same. There’s no distinction of high and low. What matters is whether your fists are hard enough. Did you hear clearly?”
“Heard clearly.”
“Mm.”
Chang Xin was very satisfied with Xiao Mo’s attitude.
“We’re here. This is where you’ll be living from now on. There are nine people living with you inside. They’re all new recruits from the past half month. Tomorrow when the horn sounds, training begins. Go settle your bed properly.”
Finally, Xiao Mo stopped in front of one of the twelve Earthly Branch wooden houses.
Chang Xin didn’t say much more, only tossed Xiao Mo a storage pouch containing the Iron Tiger Army uniform, bedding, and other things, as well as some spirit flowers and spirit herbs, then turned and walked away.
Xiao Mo walked into the wooden house and found he was the only one inside.
The others must still be training and hadn’t returned yet.
Xiao Mo put his clothes in the cabinet at the head of the bed, then laid out his bedding properly.
And just as Xiao Mo finished doing all this, a horn sounded. It should be lunchtime, when everyone could rest briefly.
Before long, the door of the wooden house opened.
Nine people walked into the wooden house carrying lunch boxes.
Xiao Mo observed his nine roommates.
Most of them looked relatively normal. However, the person walking at the very front with a scar on his face didn’t look easy to provoke.
Xiao Mo estimated he was three or four years older than himself.
The other people all followed half a body length behind him, giving off the feeling of a “big brother.”
The other nine people were also stunned when they saw Xiao Mo.
“Pretty boy, are you new here?” The scarred man said looking at Xiao Mo.
“That’s correct.” Xiao Mo replied.
“Since you’re new, we need to explain the rules to you. From now on in this house, what I say goes. You have to call me Boss. Besides, seeing as you came last, you’ll wash all nine of our shoes. Did you hear me?”
“Hehe.” Xiao Mo chuckled.
“Son of a bitch, what the hell are you laughing at? I asked if you heard me! Answer!”
The scarred man spat and shouted at Xiao Mo but just as his words fell, Xiao Mo’s fist had already appeared before his eyes!
His pupils contracted as he tried to block it but Xiao Mo’s punch was too fast, directly sending him flying two zhang away.
When the scarred man tried to stand up, Xiao Mo had already stepped on his chest with one foot.
The mountain-like fist energy pressed down on the scarred man’s body. Cold sweat couldn’t help but break out on his forehead.
The others were also extremely shocked.
They hadn’t expected that this young, frail-looking youth would be like a lion. Their boss didn’t even have a chance to fight back.
“From today on, I’m the boss of Earthly Branch Twelve. My clothes and shoes will all be handed over to you to wash. Did you hear me?” Xiao Mo said coldly.
“Boy, you!”
“I’m asking you a question. Answer!”
The scarred man still wanted to resist but when Xiao Mo applied slightly more force, he felt his bones were about to be crushed.
“Heard clearly, Big Brother, heard clearly.” The scarred man hurriedly begged for mercy.
That one punch and one stomp had completely eliminated his will to resist.
“Hey, what are you all doing?”
Just then, Chang Xin walked into the wooden house and saw Xiao Mo firmly stepping on Zhao Wei’s chest.
“Nothing, just sparring with him.” Xiao Mo released his foot.
“That’s right, that’s right. We were just sparring.” The scarred man named Zhao Wei hurriedly nodded.
“Sparring? You think I’m an idiot? If you have issues, go to the martial arts arena to settle them. Now, all of you run ten laps around the camp! If I catch you fighting privately again, you’ll be severely punished!”
“Yes…”
Xiao Mo and the others responded and successively ran out of the wooden house, beginning to run laps around the camp.
Chang Xin watched Xiao Mo leading the run and couldn’t help rubbing his chin, “This boy looks refined and scholarly, but I didn’t expect he’s also a lion. Quite interesting.”
