Chapter 1722 - 1723: Tian Jiao Trains the Troops
On the second day, Zhang Xuan gathered all the martial artists within Vermilion Bird City together.
In the Vermilion Square, martial artists stood densely packed, numbering over two thousand.
Looking at these martial artists, Lin Chen couldn't help but furrow his brow.
Not only was their strength uneven, but each of them carried a disdainful expression.
Such disorganized rabble would hardly possess any real combat power.
Lin Chen thought for a moment and directly sent a message to Tian Jiao.
The next day, Tian Jiao arrived at Vermilion Bird City.
"Master, did you call for me?" Tian Jiao bowed and respectfully asked.
"You've broken through again?" Lin Chen looked at Tian Jiao with a faint smile.
Tian Jiao nodded: "Thanks to you, Master, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to break through."
Now, Tian Jiao's strength has reached the early stage of the God Realm.
Of course, such a quick breakthrough is also related to Tian Jiao's own efforts.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Tian Jiao, I need your help this time."
"Master, whatever you need, just order Tian Jiao," Tian Jiao said solemnly.
Lin Chen nodded and said to Tian Jiao, "Come over here."
Tian Jiao came to stand in front of Lin Chen, who pointed with one hand.
A golden light instantly shot into Tian Jiao's mind.
Tian Jiao felt mysterious runes suddenly appear in his mind.
As he perceived these runes, Tian Jiao's complexion turned extremely excited.
These runes included formations and tactics, encompassing a myriad of subjects.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Digest this knowledge, you should be able to become a renowned general."
"Master, whatever orders you have, feel free to issue them."
Lin Chen said, "The Immortal World is chaotic now, in such times heroes rise, we should do something earth-shattering."
"You mean..." Tian Jiao's expression slightly changed.
I have acquired Vermilion Bird City, those big shots in the Immortal World certainly won't let it go, so I must have my own forces.
"Are you asking me to train these martial artists?" Tian Jiao asked.
Lin Chen nodded, "I'll give you a month; I want to see a powerful elite force."
"Master wants me to train the soldiers, but I need some things," Tian Jiao nodded.
Lin Chen listened to Tian Jiao's words, a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, "Rest assured, whatever you need, I can provide."
Within the Tianyan space, two thousand martial artists looked at the unfamiliar world, their eyes filled with wonder.
Lin Chen appeared in front of the crowd, smiling slightly, "Everyone, welcome to the Starry Pavilion. From today on, you are members of the Starry Pavilion and will change the history of the Immortal World."
After listening to Lin Chen's words, many people showed some disdain.
"Tsk, just a kid in his twenties."
"Exactly, thought it was someone big, turns out to be a barely grown brat."
Sounds of ridicule echoed from the crowd.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, suddenly a domineering aura pressed onto the two thousand people.
Boom!
No matter their cultivation level, all two thousand martial artists instantly knelt on the ground.
Lin Chen still had a faint smile on his face.
"By joining the Starry Pavilion, you gain many benefits, like improving your cultivation by several levels in a short time, acquiring spiritual artifacts others don't have, and most importantly, you'll have a powerful backing, of course, the premise is you must be loyal to the Starry Pavilion."
Even though many people didn't believe it, the pressure Lin Chen just exerted was undeniable.
Any individual could be easily obliterated by Lin Chen.
In the Immortal World, where strength reigns supreme, no one dares to defy the likes of Lin Chen.
Seeing the awe in everyone's eyes, Lin Chen knew his purpose was achieved.
"Alright, let me formally introduce your commander, Tian Jiao."
At this moment, Tian Jiao, standing beside Lin Chen, stepped forward.
Noticing Tian Jiao, many people's expressions slightly changed.
If many respected Lin Chen, but Tian Jiao, with strength only at the early stage of the God Realm, was surpassed by more than half the people here.
But now these people have to listen to Tian Jiao, which made some of them quite dissatisfied.
Tian Jiao stood before the crowd, smiling faintly, "I understand your thoughts, but though my strength may not be strong, I have ways to make you all strong. From today, you'll undergo rigorous special training; I believe the process will be painful, but soon you'll thank me."
Listening to Tian Jiao, many couldn't hide a hint of disdain.
A peak God Realm expert, no matter how strong, can't do much.
Lin Chen displayed a smile knowing these people would soon regret their underestimation of Tian Jiao.
Tian Jiao smiled faintly and said to the crowd, "Everyone, gather in groups of six, we're going to play a game."
"Play a game?"
The martial artists were bewildered, but since Tian Jiao spoke, they self-organized into groups of six.
Tian Jiao nodded to Lin Chen.
With Lin Chen's mental focus, a large formation appeared out of nowhere before the crowd, encircling the two thousand martial artists.
Tian Jiao said with a smile, "Now each team of six should follow my command and cooperate well. Meet my requirements, and you can leave the Million Sword Array."
"Million Sword Array? What kind of ghost thing is that?" Everyone was confused.
Tian Jiao said plainly, "It begins now."
As Tian Jiao's voice fell, changes occurred within the sword array.
Countless sword lights descended from the sky, rushing toward the two thousand people.
The crowd, who had been disdainful moments ago, suddenly wore changed expressions; the sword lights came too fast for them to react.
"Crack, crack!"
Sword lights swiftly struck the crowd, eliciting cries of pain.
Tian Jiao remained indifferent, looking at the tormented crowd in the formation and said, "You seven must harness the power of the Seven Stars, stand firm in the positions of Yin and Yang, and resist the sword intent; otherwise, your fate will be miserable."
At first, some were defiant, but Tian Jiao was unconcerned.
He directly threw these individuals into the sword net Lin Chen specifically prepared.
Subsequently, screams echoed within the sword net.
Sword intent continually lashed those martial artists, carving blood-oozing sword marks.
Seeing those almost unrecognizable martial artists being tormented within the sword net, everyone trembled.
This seemingly delicate and shy person is far from the weakness they imagined.
His methods are cruel, his heart like stone, not concerning himself with human life; even the most defiant martial artists were obediently subdued.
The following day, in the sword array, no one dared to cause trouble; everyone trained actively, lest they were targeted by Tian Jiao.
Failing to complete Tian Jiao's assignments meant enduring the sword net's torture.
Seeing those martial artists rigorously training per his demands, Tian Jiao finally displayed a satisfied expression.
