Chapter 280: The Branch Helm Expands
June!
The Sanjiang Branch Helm had carried out three rounds of recruitment before and after this, taking in more than two hundred probationary disciples from among the dock laborers. The total number of probationary disciples had now risen to over six hundred.
These people worked during the day. From the afternoon until evening, those who had time would go to the branch helm’s training grounds together to receive Zhao Heiniu’s instruction in 《Archery》, 《Basic Spear Technique》, and 《Hundred Paces Piercing the Poplar》. At the same time, they would also receive guidance from Yang Feiyue in cultivating 《Basic Saber Technique》, 《Basic Sword Technique》, 《Basic Fist Technique》, and several other First-Rank martial arts such as 《Wind-Splitting Sword Art》.
Yang Feiyue had originally belonged to the infirmary, but in the end he still could not endure the loneliness. So he took on the title of instructor within the branch helm and helped train its disciples.
On the one hand, this was to strengthen the foundations of the Sanjiang Branch Helm. On the other hand, it was to supply talent to the escort agency and help develop a second force.
Now, with the support of these two instructors, half of the Sanjiang Branch Helm’s probationary disciples had already broken through to become full-fledged Martial Artists. Their number had exceeded three hundred.
The number of First-Rank Martial Artists had also quietly surpassed one hundred.
Of the more than forty people Wangchuan had originally brought from the Huishui County hall, every single one had advanced into the ranks.
This included some of the Sanjiang Branch Helm’s original full-fledged Martial Artists, as well as part of the men under Li Qing and Fei Zai, all of whom had now entered the ranks one after another.
