Chapter 317 You Have to Call Me Boss
After leaving the Xiao residence, Xiao Mo went to the Ministry of War to report for duty.
The Ministry of War inquired about Xiao Mo's household registration and cultivation level.
When the official in charge of registration learned that Xiao Mo had already entered the early stage of the Cave Abode Realm, he couldn't help but look up, his eyes filled with surprise.
Finally, the Ministry of War gave Xiao Mo a token, instructing him to go to the Iron Tiger Army camp at the north gate of the capital.
Before long, Xiao Mo arrived at his destination.
Xiao Mo looked up and saw two stones, each three zhang long, and a wooden plank hanging high above.
The stone was carved with the following words:
"Those who wish to be promoted and make a fortune, please go elsewhere."
"Those who are afraid of death should not enter this gate."
The wooden board bore the three powerful characters written by the King of Qin: "Iron Tiger Army".
Xiao Mo withdrew his gaze and strode inside.
In Xiao Mo's view, especially since it was a military camp, it looked more like a huge fortified village.
Inside, there are rows of wooden houses.
Someone was running around the training ground shirtless, carrying a piece of ironwood weighing about a thousand pounds.
Someone with their hands and feet bound with black iron was punching a wooden stake.
Some people were even fighting directly with ferocious beasts inside a huge iron cage.
The entire Iron Tiger Army camp was filled with the violent bloodlust of martial arts cultivators.
It's likely that some wandering spirits wouldn't even have entered the military camp before being dispersed by the blood energy, even if they were just standing outside the gate.
Xiao Mo handed over the plaque from the Ministry of War in the wooden house called "Tiger Cub".
The Iron Tiger Army steward released a carrier pigeon and then told Xiao Mo to wait patiently.
Not long after, a muscular, strong man walked into the wooden house and said in a loud voice:
"So you're the new kid, Xiao Mo? The illegitimate son of the Prince of Zhenbei's Xiao family?"
“Exactly,” Xiao Mo replied.
The burly man scratched his head and muttered with a hint of resentment, "What's going on? Why did they send me such a weakling? He looks so frail, like a pretty boy."
Xiao Mo: "."
"Fine." As if accepting reality, the burly man scratched his head and looked at Xiao Mo seriously. "Kid, from today onwards, I'm your instructor. My surname is Chang, and my given name is Xin. Just call me Master Chang, understand?"
"Understood, Master Chang," Xiao Mo nodded.
"Alright, let's go. I'll take you to your lodgings." Master Chang turned and walked out of the wooden house, with Xiao Mo following behind him.
"You've probably heard of our Iron Tiger Army. To sum it up in one sentence—train until you drop dead! If I train you to death, you can only blame yourself for being too weak, understand?"
Chang Xin said as he led Xiao Mo forward.
"Understood, Master Chang."
Chang Xin continued to tell Xiao Mo about the events in the Iron Tiger Army:
"Although you have reached the Cave Realm at such a young age, don't be too complacent. I have seen far too many geniuses."
Kid, remember one thing.
Only those who are alive deserve to be called geniuses.
All those who died were fools.
Then, in our Iron Tiger Army, the most important thing is discipline! Any disobedience to military orders is extremely serious!
Everyone in the Iron Tiger Army comes from all over the Qin Kingdom, including the legitimate sons of kings and generals. You are the son of the King of Zhenbei. Although you are a son of a concubine, you are still a young master. You may not live a life of luxury, but you are certainly well-off.
But so what?
In the Iron Tiger Army, everyone is the same; there is no distinction between high and low. The only difference is whether your fist is hard enough.
Did you hear me clearly?
"I heard you clearly."
"Um."
Chang Xin was very satisfied with Xiao Mo's attitude.
"We've arrived. This is where you'll be living from now on. There are nine people living with you; they are all new students who have been here for the past two weeks."
Training will begin tomorrow when the bugle sounds. You'd better make your bed properly.
Finally, Xiao Mo stopped in front of a wooden house with the twelve Earthly Branches.
Chang Xin didn't say much, but simply tossed Xiao Mo a storage bag containing the Iron Tiger Army's uniforms, bedding, and some spiritual flowers and herbs before turning and walking away.
Xiao Mo entered the wooden house and found that he was the only one inside.
It seems the others are still training and haven't returned yet.
Xiao Mo put his clothes in the bedside cabinet and then made up the bedding.
Just as Xiao Mo finished doing all this, a horn sounded, indicating that it was lunchtime and everyone could take a short break.
Not long after, the door of the wooden house opened.
Nine people carrying a lunchbox walked into the wooden house.
Xiao Mo looked at his nine roommates.
Most people seemed to be doing fairly well.
However, the scarred man at the front didn't look like someone to be trifled with.
Xiao Mo estimated that he was three or four years older than him.
Everyone else was half a step behind him, giving him a "big brother" feel.
The other nine people were also taken aback when they saw Xiao Mo.
"Pretty boy, are you new here?" the scarred man said, looking at Xiao Mo.
“Exactly,” Xiao Mo replied.
"Since you're new here, I'll have to explain the rules to you. From now on, I'm the one who calls the shots in this room, and you have to call me Boss."
Furthermore, since you're the last one to arrive, you're in charge of washing all nine of our shoes, understand?
"Hehe." Xiao Mo chuckled.
"You son of a bitch, what are you laughing at? Did you hear me?! Answer me!" The scarred man spat and yelled at Xiao Mo.
But just as he finished speaking...
Xiao Mo's fist was already in front of him!
His pupils contracted as he tried to resist.
But Xiao Mo's punch was too fast, sending him flying two zhang away.
Just as the scarred man tried to stand up, Xiao Mo had already stepped on his chest.
The mountain-like fist pressure pressed down on the scarred man, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
The others were also terrified.
They never expected that such a young and frail boy would be like a lion, leaving their boss with no chance to fight back.
“From today onwards, I am the boss of the Twelfth Earthly Branch. You will be in charge of washing all my clothes and shoes. Do you understand?” Xiao Mo said coldly.
"You brat!"
"I'm asking you a question, answer me!"
The scarred man still tried to resist.
But when Xiao Mo exerted even a little more force, he felt as if his bones were about to break.
"I heard you clearly, brother, I heard you clearly," the scarred man quickly begged for mercy.
The punch and stomp he received just now had completely extinguished his will to resist.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Just then, Chang Xin entered the wooden house and saw Xiao Mo pressing his foot firmly on Zhao Wei's chest.
"It's 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 nodded quickly.
"Sparring? Do you think I'm stupid? If you have something to say, go to the martial arts arena and settle it. Now, all of you, run ten laps around the military camp! If I find you fighting in private again, you'll be severely punished!"
"yes"
Xiao Mo and the others responded and ran out of the wooden house one after another, starting to run laps around the military camp.
Chang Xin looked at Xiao Mo, who was leading the way, and couldn't help but rub his chin:
"This kid looks so refined, but I didn't expect him to be such a lion. He's interesting."
