As the days passed, the mainland returned to its former peace. Each sect also took advantage of this period of time to work hard to restore its strength and recruit talented warriors to join the sect. Since all the sects in the mainland recruited a large number of disciples at the same time,
As a result, potential warriors from all the sects in the entire continent, who were originally too crowded to recruit, suddenly became hot commodities, and even more so, the talented warriors in each sect's own territory could not meet the needs of their sects at all.
Especially for the big sects, the number of disciples they need is even more terrifying. The number of disciples they recruit on their territory alone is far from enough to meet their needs. As a result, the small sects will be in misery. The big sects rely on their powerful
With their strength, they suppressed the small sects and forcibly recruited disciples in their territory.
Small sects are naturally unwilling to watch their outstanding disciples being snatched away. In this way, although small sects do not dare to compete with large sects in terms of force, they can still use some tricks secretly, such as threatening those talented people.
Good family members, tell them that if they dare to join other sects, their whole family will be destroyed.
As a result, entering various sects to practice martial arts was a good thing for everyone, but it suddenly turned into a bad thing. Any child who was detected to have a talent for practicing martial arts, each family would hide them tightly and would rather die.
Nor do they want them to practice martial arts.
The above is only what happened between two sects with a huge difference in strength, and those sects with similar strength even fought for some potential disciples, and even suffered casualties. Once the feud was settled, it would naturally be difficult to let go.
As soon as it came, the mainland, which had just been peaceful, was suddenly turned into a mess by various sects.
The reason why this situation occurs is because everyone understands that now the strength of each sect has suffered heavy losses, and the original huge gap has suddenly narrowed a lot. If we can't take advantage of now to recruit more talented disciples and train them, it will be very difficult.
Maybe it will be compared to other sects.
The mainland is in chaos, but there are still some pure lands, such as the city where the five major guilds are located. No one dares to go there to recruit disciples. All the talented warriors produced there belong to the five major guilds. Whoever dares to go there to recruit disciples
, that is a slap in the face of the five major guilds. With the strength of the five major guilds, no one in this western continent has the courage to do such a thing.
In addition to the five major guilds, the Supreme City and its surroundings can also be regarded as a piece of pure land. The Supreme City was originally the territory of the Shuiyue Sect, and the territories of the Liuyun Sect, Shuiyue Sect, Yin Sect, and Baihua Valley can all be connected together.
Everyone knows that the four sects are no longer what they used to be, and there is a Supreme City as a backing. Other sects do not dare to randomly go to their territory to recruit disciples, which allows the four sects to avoid conflicts with them.
The four sects are also recruiting disciples. They were not strong at first, but after relying on Wen Hao, their strength continued to increase. Now they also want to take advantage of this opportunity to rise. After all, no one wants to be a weak one, and a sect is not willing to become a talker.
The weak and small sect that can't afford to talk, this is their chance.
Everyone is recruiting disciples aggressively. The big sects want to rely on these new disciples to maintain their status, while the small sects want to take advantage of this opportunity to rise.
However, Wen Hao did not recruit anyone. Even the Supreme City, which was still recruiting students, actually announced that they would no longer accept disciples for the time being after they started accepting disciples from the four sects.
This approach puzzled Wu Yong and the others. When they asked about Wen Hao, Wen Hao just smiled at them and said: "I just don't want to conflict with the four sects."
On the surface, Wen Hao seems to be indifferent to the world and has no ambitions. In fact, he also has his own little calculation in his heart. Some time ago, due to lack of manpower, he forcibly recruited the entire Nansha Kingdom's warriors into the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. Then
But there are thousands of warriors above Sword King level.
Moreover, these warriors have good talents. Although they were very dissatisfied with Wen Hao's methods in the past, when they learned about Iron-Blooded's treatment, their dissatisfaction had long since disappeared.
After stopping immigration, Wen Hao simply let them go home, but most of them stayed because of Tie Xue's generous treatment.
These people can cultivate to the level of Sword King and above, and their talents are very good. However, their cultivation level is too low, and they do not have good elixirs, so their strength improves very slowly.
And it turns out that the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group has more than 10,000 warriors. Those who can enter the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group are not weak in talent. In addition, they also recruited some casual cultivators before. Now counting, Wen Hao has no less than
Twenty thousand warriors.
So many warriors are already enough for Wen Hao to use. There is no need to recruit any more. Besides, if you recruit too many, do you have so many resources to train them?
Take the current over 20,000 warriors as an example. If you select one out of a hundred, you can also select more than 200 warriors with the best talents. If you can train these two hundred warriors, it will be extremely difficult. Why bother to fight with them?
Each sect is robbing people, and even if you do, you don't have the resources to train them, it's a waste of talent.
Therefore, while everyone was fighting to recruit disciples, a disciple selection competition was going on within the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. In addition to talent, Wen Hao also valued their actual combat experience and
Combat reaction.
The competition lasted for ten days, and finally one hundred and twenty warriors with excellent talents, rich practical experience, and loyalty to the Iron Blood were selected. What satisfied Wen Hao most was that the weakest of these warriors were all Sword Emperors.
, after having these foundations, it will be much easier to cultivate.
As soon as these warriors were selected, they were secretly sent to the underground pulse spirit by Wen Hao, and all of them immediately modified the Five Elements Sect's authentic methods. In addition, Wen Hao also prepared a large number of elixirs for them to use. I believe
When they come out, they will definitely become Wen Hao's trump card.
Many people know about Wen Hao's selection of warriors, but no one knows the purpose of these warriors being selected by Wen Hao. After all, this is only Wen Hao's business, and everyone is focused on competing for disciples at this time.
, how could he care about Wen Hao's business.
Time passes day by day, and it’s March in a blink of an eye.
A few clouds suddenly floated into the originally clear sky that day. Then, the sky suddenly became turbulent, and the heavenly energy within a hundred miles suddenly surged towards the Supreme City. In just a moment, a circle was formed over the Supreme City.
The huge energy funnel, the majestic energy pours from the top of the funnel into the small courtyard below.
Such an incident suddenly alarmed all the warriors in the Supreme City and within a hundred miles. They all quickly gathered towards the small courtyard under the energy funnel, wanting to see what was causing such a big commotion.
"Captain, what's going on?" Hua Ling came to Wai Wenhao's side in the small courtyard, glanced at the small courtyard, and said softly: "Isn't this where Senior Yaodan and the others live?"
"Grandmaster Wen Da, do you know what's going on?" Shui Nitian also came to Wen Hao's side and asked Wen Hao with a lingering fear.
"Look at this formation, it seems like someone has broken through!" Wen Hao looked at the energy funnel in the sky, then looked around, and then said in a low voice.
"Breakthrough?" Hearing this, Hua Ling was stunned for a moment, and then said with an extremely excited look on his face: "You mean, Senior Yaodan and the others have broken through to the Sword Master?"
"It's very possible." Wen Hao nodded and said: "Other than breaking through to the Sword Master, who can break through and make such a big noise? All the vitality of the world within a hundred miles has been sucked in by him."
"Sword Master?" Hearing this, everyone present took a breath. When everyone looked at the small courtyard, their eyes were much more complicated. Some were envious, some were jealous, some were excited, and some were frustrated.
Afterwards, everyone looked at the small courtyard with all their attention and said nothing. Even if someone spoke, they would discuss it in a low voice, as if they were afraid of disturbing the people inside who were making breakthroughs.
Everyone had been standing outside for most of the day, and the energy funnel in the sky began to dissipate. After everything returned to its original state, everyone clearly felt that the vitality of the surrounding world was much thinner than before. It would not be possible to return to the original state within a few days.
.
After everyone waited for about half an hour, Yao Dan finally walked out with the other six sword masters from the five major guilds with flushed faces.
Because the seven people from Yaodan didn't make any move, although everyone outside saw them coming out, they all wanted to come forward to congratulate them, but for a moment they didn't know which one of them had succeeded in making a breakthrough. As a result, everyone was unable to come forward, because
Everyone was busy and made a mistake, which would cause embarrassment.
Unusually, as soon as Wen Hao saw the seven people coming out, he stepped forward and congratulated Yao Dan with a smile: "Respectfully, Senior Yao has taken a step forward in strength and become the first strong swordsman in the Western Continent in ten thousand years.
"
After all, the seven Yaodan people have been practicing under the guidance of Wu Xing Jian Hui during this period. As an old sword master, Wu Xing Jian Hui naturally knows their situation well, and Wen Hao is with Wu Xing Jian Hui every day, so naturally
I also got a lot of information.
"Grandmaster Wen is so polite." Yaodan quickly returned his hand and said, "This is all because of seniors. If it weren't for seniors, I, Yaodan, would never be able to get this far even if it takes ten thousand years."
Saying that, Yaodan looked at Wen Hao, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I wonder, senior now..."
Before Yao Dan finished speaking, a white light flashed, and Five Elements Sword Brilliance appeared beside Wen Hao. He glanced at Yao Dan and nodded: "Not bad, it's about the same as I expected. You finally broke through this step."
As soon as he saw the Five Elements Sword Glory, Yao Dan was excited. He immediately knelt down to the Five Elements Sword Glory and kowtowed: "Disciple thanks the teacher for his teachings..."
"Disciple thanks the teacher for his teachings..." At the same time, Tianlong and other six old men also knelt down towards the Five Elements Sword Glory.
"Wait a minute." Before everyone could finish their words, Wu Xing Jian Hui stopped him and said, "I'm not accepting you as my disciples. Don't shout randomly. Don't forget that you are all people with teachers.
