Chapter 613 Training

General Ji, instead of finding Ji Wenxuan's words wrong, became somewhat displeased with his second son after being clearly trying to sow discord among him.

It's no wonder that General Ji was biased; it's just that Uncle Ji was too carefree and only knew how to fool around with his concubines when he got home.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw no one to carry on his legacy, he really wouldn't feel comfortable handing over all his hard work over the years to such a frivolous and unambitious person.

"Now that you're here, let's ignore him for now."

As General Ji spoke, he led Ji Wenxuan to the recruit training ground. In his eyes, Ji Wenxuan had been a complete good-for-nothing at home all these years.

Since he's a good-for-nothing, he should start from the bottom. If he can't even master the basics, then General Ji should seriously consider the issue of succession.

“These are all new recruits in our Ji Family Army. You can train with them first.”

In General Ji's eyes, there was no such thing as special treatment. To become a respected general, the first thing to do was to train, eat, and live with these soldiers.

Since Ji Wenxuan had already decided to come here, he naturally knew what the Ji family's rules were, so he nodded and stood with the soldiers.

To facilitate training today, he was dressed in a formal uniform, which made him look less casual and more dashing than usual.

Coupled with his already handsome appearance, he instantly attracted countless eyes when he stood in the crowd.

"Everyone's here, let's begin training."

The training officers had received instructions from General Ji yesterday, and upon seeing Ji Wenxuan join the team, they immediately directed the soldiers to take up their spears.

Jiang led by demonstrating the simplest assassination move, followed by a group practice session with the new soldiers.

Watching the repetitive actions, Ji Wenxuan washed the spear twice and then put it down.

"Ji Wenxuan, why aren't you practicing?"

To be honest, the spears used in the military camp were not light, because the tips were made of iron, and they were very heavy to hold.

The general glanced at Ji Wenxuan, assuming he was trying to slack off because he couldn't lift the weight. But Ji Wenxuan retorted, "What's the use of repeating these movements all day? When it comes to actually fighting, can you really kill the enemy with this?"

"What a joke! This is the first thing you learn when you join the Ji family army, and you're saying it's useless?"

General has been a member of the Ji family army for ten years, and he has met all the other young masters of the Ji family. But he is the first person like Ji Wenxuan to question his family's ancestors.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wenxuan looked at the new recruits who had just entered the military camp. This kind of exercise, which trains both arm strength and bayonet skills, was indeed useful for them.

But for me, this is undoubtedly a waste of time.

"I want to train with the veterans."

Ji Wenxuan did not answer the general's question, but instead looked at the training ground of the veterans in the distance and spoke.

"What? You're going to train with the veterans?"

It wasn't that the general looked down on Ji Wenxuan, but rather that in his eyes, a weak scholar like Ji Wenxuan was simply ignorant of his own limitations.

"Yes, I want to train with the veterans."

Ji Wenxuan nodded, looking extremely determined.

This amused not only the officers training the soldiers, but also the new recruits who had just entered the military camp.

In their eyes, Ji Wenxuan was so small and weak that he couldn't even beat them all, yet he wanted to train with the veterans. Wasn't he just asking to be beaten up?

"Young master, you'd better stay with us! Those veterans are reckless; they might hurt you," a kind-looking soldier advised.

Ji Wenxuan only glanced at him before turning his gaze back to the general.

Just as the general was at a loss for words, a voice suddenly rang out.

"What are you doing! Are you all watching the show?"

As soon as Uncle Ji arrived, he saw them standing there motionless, so he hurried over.

When he saw Ji Wenxuan standing in the crowd, Uncle Ji was delighted and immediately asked, "Wenxuan is here too. What's wrong? Can't you lift that spear? It's alright, take your time. When I first started practicing, I also found it difficult."

In Uncle Ji's opinion, the weight of the spear was enough to make Ji Wenxuan struggle.

Before he could finish speaking, the general said, "General, Young Master Wenxuan has requested to train with the veterans."

"What?" Uncle Ji thought he must be hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear such absurd words?

What kind of place is the Ji Family Army? Their training involves climbing through the ranks. Many people train for years but still don't dare to compete with the veterans. Has Ji Wenxuan gone mad? He actually dares to say he wants to train with the veterans.

"Young Master Wenxuan said he wants to train with the veterans," the general repeated.

Uncle Ji turned to look at Ji Wenxuan, and seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, he tentatively asked, "Are you sure you want to go with the veteran?"

"Absolutely, definitely, and without a doubt!"

He's said it so many times: he wants to train with the veterans. When will these people stop? Can't they just give him a straight answer?

Just as Ji Wenxuan was getting impatient with his answer, Uncle Ji agreed almost without thinking.

In his view, Ji Wenxuan was clearly just making trouble for himself, so why shouldn't he grant his wish?

Let those veterans teach him a lesson, preferably beat him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him, and see if he still dares to stay and compete with me for control of the Ji family army.

With Second Master Ji's approval, Ji Wenxuan quickly went to the veteran's place.

Seeing that things were not going well, the general told the new recruits to continue practicing and then hurriedly ran to find General Ji.

When General Ji rushed over, Ji Wenxuan was already surrounded by a group of veterans and fighting with someone.

General Ji thought Ji Wenxuan was just getting beaten up, but when he squeezed in, he saw a completely different scene.

Ji Wenxuan was caught by the veteran, but he nimbly turned around and broke free from the veteran's grasp. Then, with another turn, he knocked the veteran off balance and fell to the ground.

Yes, a guy who had been in the army for less than a day had just knocked down a veteran. The veteran was not about to give up, so he stood up and was about to attack Ji Wenxuan.

Unexpectedly, Ji Wenxuan dodged again, causing the other party to miss. Using his skillful strength, before the other party could fall to the ground, Ji Wenxuan moved slightly and calmly supported the old soldier.

The veteran dared not say anything more. He looked at Ji Wenxuan, who was obviously thin, and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Just lucky, that's just luck." Uncle Ji, who had witnessed the whole thing, said with resentment.
