Under a low and stout tree with a trunk that required three or four men to encircle it, the five centurions were gathered together.

  "Qingshan brothers, the leader gave you a limit of ten days to investigate, but you found out this secret without even using half the time. The leader probably won't have an excuse to bother you again." Wan Fansheng said with a smile, while Du Hong whispered beside him: "Brother Wan, keep your voice down, if the leader hears you, you'll be in trouble."

  Wan Fangxiang immediately looked around and smiled: "What's there to be afraid of? Even if the commander is a formidable master, he's still a mortal man. He can't hear us talking from that far away. By the way, now that Bai Ze is crippled, who do you think will be our new commander?"

  "Newly appointed Governor?" The others looked at each other.

  Hong Qingshan was also moved in his heart.

  "The newly appointed commander should be chosen from among the five of us!" Tian Dan said, "In terms of strength, Qing Shan is the most powerful! In terms of seniority and experience, Old Du is the highest. However, when it comes to choosing a commander, it's all about loyalty and who they trust the most, that's who they'll choose."

  Several people nodded.

  "Wouldn't it be better to transfer a centurion from another camp to command us all?" Liu He said in a low voice.

  "Nonsense!" Wan Fanshang cursed, "The new commander-in-chief is to be elected, of course, we should elect from our own camp. Other camps also come to grab positions? I'm the first one who doesn't agree!"

  "I don't agree either!" Tian Dan also said.

  Hong Qing Shan smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, the sect won't make any trouble either. He also wants us to submit."

  "We five are all black armor army who have passed the assessment of entering the sect." Du Hong said coldly, "In the sect, in the positions of commander and leader, they generally favor core disciples! However, they usually choose the hundred captains from their own camp! I hope that within the sect, don't let us lose heart!"

  Teng Qing Shan also sensed that there were some contradictions within the Black Armors Army.

  All those who entered the sect assessment like him, consciously formed a clique, and had a hint of opposition to the core disciples of the sect. The core disciples all thought they were superior, looking down on outsiders. Because in history, the enemy sects of Guiyuan Sect infiltrated and annihilated, entering the Black Armor Army was not unheard of.

  "Let's choose one of the five as the leader, that's easy to say. If we casually bring over an inexperienced core disciple, it's fine if he has the ability. But if he doesn't have the strength, I'll secretly get rid of him." Wan Fanzhang sneered.

  "It's clear what you mean." Liu He also lowered his voice and sneered.

  Who is the good seedling?

  Tian Dan glanced into the distance, suddenly startled, and said in a low voice: "The Commander is coming!"

  Teng Qing Shan looked afar and saw, in the distance, Commander Ji Hong striding towards them. Instantly, all five hundred men commanders fell silent, saying no more.

  "Your Excellency!" The five men bowed.

  Ji Hong glanced at the five people, a rare smile appearing on his face: "Very good! Teng Qing Shan has done a great job this time, discovering several loopholes in the supervision and guarding of the Purple Crystal Mine area! Now that things are almost settled here, I should also leave. Before leaving, there is one thing that I must settle."

  Heng Qing Shan's five people moved in their hearts.

  "Bai Ze is now crippled and will definitely have to withdraw from the Black Armor Army! So, you people in this camp must also elect a new commander!" Ji Hong said.

  All five of them were excited.

  The entire Black Armor Army only has twelve marshals, and it's extremely difficult to compete for the four great marshal positions. For example, the current four great marshals, whether it's the first marshal 'Ji Hong' or the second marshal 'Pang Shan', or the other two marshals, are all inner disciples of the Guiyuan Sect.

  Among them, Ji Hong is the second uncle of the sect leader 'Zhuge Yuanhong', with a very high generation level, holding the position of first leader for decades.

  Pang Shan was a junior fellow apprentice of Zhuge Yuanhong and had also held the position of commander for over ten years.

  As for the third leader 'Zang Feng' and the fourth leader 'Guan Lu', they were all direct disciples of Zhuge Yuanhong.

  A leadership position is hard to come by!

  All right, still a little bit of hope left.

  "The new commander of your camp, this is personally appointed by the sect master, I am conveying it." Ji Hong said indifferently, Teng Qing Shan and the five others all secretly looked forward to it, Sect Master Zhuge Yuanhong personally appointing? Appointing who?

  "From today on, I am Hei Jia Jun's first leader, the commander of the third battalion, for..."

  Ji Hong's eyes scanned the five people and he said in a loud voice, "Teng Qing Shan!"

  Hong Qing Shan's eyes lit up! The other four people all felt a tremble in their hearts, and they were somewhat helpless and unwilling. However, they soon let it go. According to the rules of promoting people in the Guiyuan Sect, generally under equal ability, young people would be promoted. Just look at the third leader 'Zang Feng' and the fourth leader 'Guan Lu'.

  After all, young people have more potential.

  Teng Qing Shan was also one of them, who had passed the assessment to enter the sect. In addition, over the past few months, everyone's situation wasn't bad either, and Teng Qing Shan's strength was even more unquestionable. Everyone else also let go of their worries.

  "Mount Teng Qing." Ji Hong looked towards Mount Teng Qing.

  "Sir." Teng Qing Shan bowed his head.

  "From today on, you are the new commander-in-chief!" Ji Hong gazed at Cong Qing Shan, "This is an appointment by the Sect Master himself. Although I don't understand why the Sect Master appointed a young kid like you who has only been in the Black Armor Army for less than half a year to such an important position as Commander-in-Chief, however, since it's the Sect Master's order, I naturally won't disobey! And regarding the Cha Zi Jin theft case, you did quite well. I'm still somewhat satisfied... In the future, under my command, don't make me lose face. If you do poorly, I'll remove you just the same!"

  "Green Mountain is remembered." Teng Qing Shan bowed his head.

  Ji Hong's sternness was famous in the Black Armor Army, and even the Third and Fourth Marshals had been scolded by him before, let alone Chen Qing Shan?

  "Uh-huh." Ji Hong nodded, "The commander's war horses and heavy armor will be given to you when you return to the sect. Alright, you all continue to guard here until the three-month period is up, then go back. I'm about to take Bai Ze with me and head back to Jiangning Prefecture City first. You don't need to bother sending me off."

  Logically speaking, seeing off the commander should involve the entire battalion lining up to bid farewell.

  However, this time, only Qing Shan and the five of them led a small number of Hei Jia Jun soldiers to escort Ji Hong's commander, who was leading more than a dozen elite troops as well as Bai Ze, far away from the mountain.

  Teng Qing Shan and several others looked from afar as the dozen or so riders disappeared at the end of the official road, kicking up a cloud of dust.

  "That white horse may be crippled, but it still has inner strength, otherwise, with the warhorse running like this, how could he sit so steadily?" Wan Fanzhang laughed.

  Shirosaki's leg was broken, so to make him withstand the running speed, he directly fixed Shirasaki's body on the saddle. Shirasaki was a post-heavenly peak expert after all, and could still ride steadily on the warhorse.

  "Alright, let's go up the mountain," said Teng Qing Shan.

  "We haven't congratulated Qing Shan on becoming the leader yet." Tian Dan said, as soon as he finished speaking——

  "Your subordinate, paying respects to General Doudoung!" Liu He suddenly bowed his head and said to Tuo Qing Shan.

  Tian Dan also bowed and smiled: "Subordinate, pay respects to Commander-in-Chief." The other two did the same.

  "Among you guys." Teng Qing Shan burst out laughing, "Since there's no outsider around, just call me Qing Shan, let's not be bound by these stupid rules." Teng Qing Shan also understood the rules, in formal occasions, it was necessary to address him as Commander.

  "In private, we are brothers, but in public, we still have to follow the rules." Du Hong chuckled and said, "Qing Shan, my brother, you're so young, yet you've already reached the eighth level of the 'Wild Ox Power Technique' and your marksmanship is unmatched. Your future in our Black Armor Army will be boundless!"

  Tian Dan also nodded and said: "I think that Qing Shan will be able to become the leader in a few years!"

  "When the leader is good! Now all four leaders are core disciples, this rule also needs to be changed." Wan Fanzhang wishes for chaos in the world.

  "Qingshan, you're in charge now. How will you choose the captain of your team?" Tian Dan asked, "Or should we let your cousin, Xiong Qinghu, be the one instead?"

  As soon as Tian Dan's voice fell, the other three people furrowed their brows.

  "Discipline cannot be broken!" Commander Teng Qing Shan ordered, "Starting tomorrow, the 50 squad leaders of my camp will begin competing, and the ultimate winner will become the hundred-man commander!"

  Let Tabo become a centurion directly?

  Teng Qing Shan has the authority to do so, but you should know that the Black Armor Army recruits new members every half a year and eliminates the weak hundred officers, who become squad leaders. So now, even if you support your brother, it's useless. Everything depends on your brother's own efforts!

  "With Brother Teng's skills, he should be close to a top-notch martial artist." Teng Qing Shan thought to himself.

  ……

  In the next few days, in the Tie Lian Shan mining area outside Huafeng City, fifty Wu Chang began their trial.

  This is a real test of skill, one game decides victory or defeat, if you lose there's no second chance.

  Teng Qinghu excelled in the trial, after all, when entering the sect assessment, Teng Qinghu was not bad, and had even practiced 'Dagun Zhuang', skilled at listening to internal energy. His spear technique is fierce! And after joining the Black Armor Army, he also cultivated the "Mangniu Dali Jue", it's worth noting that Teng Qinghu has been practicing Tiger Fist for many years.

  Tiger Fist, is Xingyiquan's 'Tiger Form Fist'.

  Teng Qinghu has been practicing the Tiger Fist for six or seven years, and two of the eight extraordinary meridians have been opened. Teng Qinghu practiced the "Wild Ox Great Strength Technique" and achieved the third layer on the same day, starting to practice the fourth layer. Now, after several months, Teng Qinghu has opened three meridians and is starting to open the fourth one!

  The eight channels of the Qi Jing Ba Mai are all connected and unobstructed, which is the Great Completion in nine layers.

  Hong Qing Hu Tong Che three bars, is the fourth layer of Dacheng, start cultivating the fifth layer.

  Teng Qing Shan clearly said, "Brother is now cultivating the fifth layer, instantly bursting with internal energy, plus physical strength, also close to 10,000 jin! However, originally Brother's extraordinary meridians and other meridians' impurities were sparse, but Brother's rapid progress and gains, following the 'Mang Niu Da Li Jue' method to squeeze out, later wanting to break through will become increasingly difficult!"

  But Qing Shan was also helpless.

  If Uncle Tie isn't allowed to practice the "Fierce Bull Great Strength Technique", it's likely that even if Teng Qinghu was given another twenty years, he still wouldn't be able to reach the 'Master Realm' of internal school boxing. This Master Realm is just too difficult.

  Since there's no other way.

  Heng Qing Shan did not stop Big Brother from practicing "Mang Niu Da Li Jue".

  ……

  In the competition, Teng Qinghu's explosive power as a top-notch martial artist, combined with his swift and simple gunplay, led him to win all the way to the final match. In the final match, his opponent was a top-notch martial artist. In this battle, Teng Qinghu relied on his precise control over his body muscles and his swift gunplay to defeat his opponent in one move.

  Teng Qinghu finally becomes the new Centurion!

  "My brother's marksmanship is quite impressive under my guidance, and with his powerful technique, he's not to be underestimated. It's no surprise that he can become a hundred-man commander. However... the next recruitment of new members is approaching soon." Teng Qing Shan thought to himself, "With my brother's current abilities, it's likely that he'll become one of the weakest eight hundred-man commanders and get challenged again, which would mean getting demoted once more! Hmm, starting tomorrow, I'll teach him the 'Five Styles of Fierce Fire'!"

  The "Liu Huo Wu Shi" created by Teng Qing Shan is the five moves that combine the "Liu Huo Qiang Jue".

  These five moves are even more powerful than Bai Ze's "Morning Sun Nine Spears".

  Especially the strongest move 'Fire Extinction and Transmission', its power is even more astonishing.

  Big Brother Tuo Qinghu, if you learn this "Lihuo Wushi", even if you only master two or three of them, it's enough to secure the position of a hundred-man commander. If you can fully master all five moves, your strength will be no weaker than that of Bai Ze!
