"No, why is there suddenly an additional qualifying round? Why didn't I know about it?" Chen Xi said puzzledly to Liu Bei who was pulling him into the car with one hand.
"I added it. After all, there are some veterans with lower smelting levels but good at actual combat, right?" Liu Bei, who came back from Jizhou by rail train, said happily. Although the beef had a strange smell because of riding with cold fresh beef all the way, Liu Bei was very satisfied with the carrying capacity of the rail train. Compared with the rail train, the previous carts were simply funny!
"No, we didn't say that veterans with low smelting skills are not allowed to participate." Chen Xi looked puzzled. "If you sign up with third or fourth level smelting skills, you can also pass."
"That way the number of people will be several times more." Liu Bei said seriously, "Building a small world, as well as the rituals and formations that connect the worlds, requires a lot of resources. Even though Qiantang Hou led the team to take out some important resources from the inner side of the world, I don't think you will deliberately waste them on this aspect."
"In fact, I have thought about expanding it. After all, there are many old soldiers who have grudges against each other, and the path of smelting is not easy. For most soldiers, it takes about ten years from joining the army to reaching dual talents, and then to mastering the talents to be smelted, until completing the smelting of the first talent." Chen Xi said with a sigh. Those who can complete the smelting of a talent are already elites.
You know, up to now, the Han Dynasty has completed the reconnection of severed limbs for all veterans who have reached the fifth level of smelting and above. However, including those veterans who have just recovered, the Han Dynasty currently has less than 210 veterans who are equivalent to the sixth level of smelting and above who can go to the battlefield, and the current total population of the Han Dynasty is over million. In other words, these people are real elites that can only be found in hundreds of thousands of people.
The fifth level of smelting is a little more, about 1,300 to 1,400. In other words, only one top elite can be found among 60,000 people.
This is also the way many immortal veterans are tempered. For normal soldiers, it is not even worth learning from. Take Jiang Guang as an example. Not to mention the issue of his great talent, just talking about smelting, he completed the adaptive smelting in just one year. And Li Jiong, who possesses the heaven-defying finishing move of Lugo Returning to the Sun and has fully mastered the Southern Army's talent of Oath Binding, a super immortal who has recovered to the young state of 25 years old, took him a full nine years to complete the smelting.
Of course, you can say that Li Jiong does lack talent in adaptability, but Li Jiong himself is already a top veteran. Even if he lacks qualifications in adaptability, his shortcomings are already a luxury for ordinary people.
After all, the saying that genius is just the threshold to meeting me is true for those who can make it to the end in any profession, because what you think is talent is already standard for those who have reached that level.
All the veterans of the Han Dynasty who have been melted down now, add up to just over 100,000. In other words, even the first-level melted guards who cannot even be named are already one in a thousand.
Take compulsory education as an example. Please think back to your middle school days. At that time, in most schools, there were only a few hundred to nearly a thousand students per grade. Don't mention anything like screening, because there are good schools and bad schools. As far as universal compulsory education is concerned, the most ordinary and medium-level schools, with a stable first place, are actually the standard of one in a thousand.
After entering the society and having other analogy conditions, we can continue to look at the so-called one in a thousand. To be honest, these are already very outstanding backbones, but I am afraid that only Liu Bei can remember their names one by one. Chen Xi basically doesn't know any of these backbones.
This is how different the world is.
Sometimes Chen Xi felt that he was standing too high. In the beginning, he let Liu Bei get in touch with these soldiers, not only to master the army from the root, but also to understand the country from a more basic level and to recognize the impact of policies.
After all, they are standing too high, unable to see or hear, and can only get reports from below. The bureaucratic system's ability to whitewash and the misalignment of interests at all levels mean that the authenticity of this report will always be questionable.
That is why Liu Bei continued to increase his scope of contact, seeing with his own eyes and hearing with his own ears, and then brought back some things that Liu Bei found interesting or unsatisfactory to share with Chen Xi. Then Chen Xi combined these things and the summarized materials to outline a relatively real side and dealt with it by referring to old historical precedents.
Of course, this still has some shortcomings, so there was the East Tour, and there was also the West Tour that Chen Xi had been planning but had not carried out. Chen Xi had actually always been confused about the affairs of Xinzhou. Chen Xi was also clear about Sima Lang's ability. It would have been fine if it had happened once or twice, but it was still like this now. The other party was not stupid!
Therefore, a western tour was imperative for Chen Xi. Some things could only be understood by seeing them in person, otherwise, omissions were inevitable.
As for Liu Bei's intelligence channels, how should I put it? There is no problem with the accuracy, and the breadth of the information is also worthy of recognition, but Liu Bei's intelligence system is upgrading autonomously - the veterans of the first level of smelting are already elites among ordinary people, and their risk resistance is completely different from that of ordinary people. After ten years of development in Yuanfeng, these people have already opened up a substantial gap with ordinary people.
After all, if an elite selected from a thousand or even ten thousand cannot make a difference with ordinary people after ten years of hard work, then there would be a big problem.
Fortunately, Liu Bei has been observing everywhere for so many years, and because of the improvement of roads and Xu Chu's incredible mobility compared to ordinary people, Liu Bei often randomly parachutes to various places across the country, observing and chatting. And unlike when he was young and would take action directly when he found a problem, the current Liu Bei, when he sees something, as long as it is not very serious, will bring back the news and have someone analyze it for him before taking action.
After all, for some things, right and wrong may vary depending on your standpoint.
Liu Bei has seen a lot, and his tolerance for certain things has also increased. After all, there is no such thing as a perfect person.
Therefore, when Chen Xi mentioned that it would take ten years for an ordinary soldier to become a royal guard under the current circumstances, Liu Bei already understood what Chen Xi meant.
"Too many, and senior veterans can bear these heavy responsibilities. You know, entrusting your trust to others is also a way to lighten your load." Liu Bei said seriously, "So the third and fourth level smelting still need to be tested. Even if they have ideas, they must entrust them to strong people if they don't have enough strength."
Similarly, those strong men must also bear these responsibilities. In Liu Bei's opinion, overly independent veterans are not good. They still need to unite as one, even if they are a little indifferent. At least they are a group and humans are social creatures.
"Okay, I can understand that." Chen Xi nodded, "But in this case, it is inevitable that some veterans will go to fry fish."
"Zichuan, do you think I wouldn't be aware of the situations of those low-melting veterans whose actual combat skills are comparable to or even surpass the sixth level of smelting?" Liu Bei said calmly.
"So what?" Chen Xi's eyes lit up. He had already guessed what Liu Bei would say.
"So there will be fish bombings, but there will also be people who get bombed by the fish." Liu Bei said with a smile. This was the reason why he brought Chen Xi here, because there would really be a battle between strong people!
"But speaking of fish, I think of Ding Quan and the others." Liu Bei continued Chen Xi's words and mentioned the term fried fish, and he thought of Ding Quan and his group of guys who were dragged by the big carp in the Yellow River to make a nest. That was five years ago in Yuanfeng. At that time, the animals that could achieve the ability to leave the body with internal energy were all very ferocious.
"Ah, I remember that Zhang Chen and Jiang Chen who survived in Nanpi seemed to have signed up for the martial arts performance. They both seemed to be at the fifth level, right?" Chen Xi said after thinking for a while.
"Yes, if Ding Quan and the others hadn't been dragged away by the Yellow River carp, they would have reached the fifth level by now." Liu Bei said with a sigh, and then he seemed to remember something and patted Chen Xi and said, "With their situation, if they really reached the fifth level of smelting, I'm afraid you would arrange them to be water officials. And compared to other water officials, they must be on the river dam every day."
Chen Xi couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly when he heard this, but this was the truth. If Ding Quan and others were alive today, they would definitely be at the fifth level of smelting. If they were not on the front line of the Ganges River and were still living in the rear, they would probably be the water officers. Compared to being the city gate commander, sleeping all day and carrying a boat to go fishing at night, if they really became water officers, Ding Quan and the other four would probably have to sit on the river dam all day long.
If other bureaucrats do this, it will be somewhat of a dereliction of duty. If it's not a big deal, then it's fine. But if something really happens, they will definitely be dealt with. However, these are mostly things that the people don't report and the officials don't investigate.
But it’s different for the Du Shui official. He sits on the river dam every day and he is really diligent in his work.
"But if they become water officers, I'm afraid their strength won't improve," Liu Bei said with a sigh.
Why was Zhang Chen, the only one still alive among the few fishermen, able to reach the fifth level of smelting? How should I put it? Every day he carried a small boat weighing more than 200 kilograms and ran 200 kilometers back and forth. After doing this day after day for several years, it was natural for him to have the talent of overweight adaptation and agility.
If Ding Quan and others were alive, this group of people would definitely be carrying a two- or three-ton boat together for a round trip of 200 kilometers. Zhang Chen might be even stronger than he is now. After all, to carry it like this, one must at least have some constant strength blessing or something like that, otherwise it would be impossible to do so.
"Strength is something that's just about right." Chen Xi said with a smile, "After all, it's not easy to have your own life and pursuits in this era."
"What a pity, it's been fed to the fish." Liu Bei slapped his thigh with some anger, ending the conversation.
"Speaking of which, how is this competition system arranged?" After talking about the previous topic to death, Chen Xi changed the topic, "Actually, it is just to eliminate the veterans of the third and fourth levels, requiring those with the fifth level of smelting and below to participate, and select two thousand people who pass."
"How did you pass?" Chen Xi asked in confusion.
"Actual battle, second brother, third brother, Zilong, Zijian and others are all here." Liu Bei pointed to the military camp outside Chang'an and said, "In addition, some officers who have been awarded the rank of marquis through progressive military merit have also arrived in Chang'an. We will all make the selection together then."
"I didn't even hear any news about it." Chen Xi shook his head repeatedly, and then suddenly realized something, "Could this be a spur-of-the-moment idea?"
"Like you said, we need to test the army's responsiveness from time to time, so this was indeed a spur-of-the-moment decision, but we did spread the word before it was finalized." Liu Bei stroked his beard and said proudly, "Overall, the performance was very good. Whether it was personnel management or logistical support, the military completed it in a very short time."
"I remember now. The qualifiers were indeed mentioned before, but I didn't take it seriously." Chen Xi recalled and roughly remembered that Liu Bei did spread the rumor some time ago, but Chen Xi's attention was not on this aspect at the time.
"It doesn't matter. I'll just take you to see it. Since it's actual combat, we've found a group of excellent doctors from the Medical Academy this time, and Jiangdong has come up with a pretty powerful thing." Liu Bei said calmly.
Because it is a real battle, even if the promotion is mainly based on the scores of the big guys, some risk factors are inevitable, so a group of excellent surgeons were specially mobilized from the Medical Academy.
However, it was also said before the actual combat preliminaries that intentional homicide would be dealt with according to military law, and Xuande Guild would come to watch.
However, it is difficult to say whether it was a mistake or not. However, with Guan Yu and others present, it is still possible to tell whether it was a real mistake or a fake one.
"What has Jiangdong come up with?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
"When we were in Qunu City, Jiangdong snatched a spiritual relic, and the core of this spiritual relic is the Medical God Visualization. Jiangdong spent a lot of effort and came up with a successful one." Liu Bei explained, "It's amazing. For the emergency doctor who has completed the Medical God Visualization, external injuries can basically be healed with just two touches. It's incredible."
"I seem to have some impression, but if I remember correctly, there seem to be only a few people in Kushan who have completed this visualization? And the strongest one was killed by Zhou Gongjin during the naval battle in order to take care of Celian." Chen Xi said with some memories, "Is this thing really powerful? What is the principle?"
"I don't know. Jiangdong is also studying it, and they don't understand it either. But it works wonders for external injuries. A wound several inches long healed quickly under the opponent's power. I found a few veterans with super-speed regeneration, and they said it was somewhat like super-speed regeneration, but it seemed different from theirs." Liu Bei thought for a while and said.
"Wait, a few veterans with super-fast regeneration?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei with a strange expression. Why are there veterans with super-fast regeneration? Except for that freak Sun Liang, shouldn't the rest of the veterans with super-fast regeneration be the demons released by Wu Qi?
"Because someone developed a super-speed regeneration route, a few veterans who were stuck at the limit of super-speed recovery learned from it and developed it." Liu Bei explained with a smile.
"Can I ask, who developed it?" Chen Xi had an expression of being unable to hold back. What does it mean that someone has developed super-speed regeneration? So several veterans who were stuck at the limit of super-speed recovery followed suit, and then they had super-speed regeneration. This thing is not something that humans should have!
"Zhang Liang and Sun Er, they read the secret mirror related to low-level super-speed regeneration in the Medical Academy some time ago. After thinking hard, they mastered super-speed regeneration. Zhang Liang also recovered to his full strength and made further progress." Liu Bei said with some emotion.
Chen Xi was silent for a while, thinking, let's not say that super-speed regeneration should not be possessed by humans. Zhang Liang and Sun Er have already broken through the limit of super-speed recovery. In other words, can humans actually do it? Can they do it?
"However, Zhang Liang and Sun Er have just broken through the limit of super-speed recovery and entered the field of super-speed regeneration. I have specially checked it out. Neither of them has the ability to grow new bones, but their body recovery ability has been greatly improved. Recently, Zhang Liang is undergoing self-mutilation training. The Shaofu has a medicinal diet for replenishing qi and blood, which I gave to Zhang Liang." Liu Bei thought for a while and said. He didn't think there was a problem.
Compared to Sun Er, Zhang Liang is a macho man who relies on his body for a living. Super-speed regeneration greatly improves his tolerance for errors in actual combat. It also allows Zhang Liang to temporarily break through his physical limits and burst out with stronger power - at worst he'll be seriously injured, but the super-speed regeneration will hold him up!
After all, Zhang Liang's fighting style is a subsonic 100-ton king going down the mountain. The reason why it is subsonic is that the body can't withstand the impact and backlash. Now the backlash is focused. Take two deep breaths and you can continue. Although super-speed regeneration does not increase the value, it increases the limit explosive power.
"Could it be that you have been practicing super-speed regeneration every day these past two days?" Chen Xi had a confused expression on his face.
"Yes, it seems that now it can forcibly close a wound of more than ten centimeters in just a dozen seconds, and then form a scab, and then heal in about ten minutes. Sun Er is a little worse than this, after all, his focus is not in this aspect." Liu Bei said with some emotion.
Although he had no idea what happened to Zhaowu and the others because he had voluntarily deleted some memories, Guan Yu had explained it to Liu Bei in another way that avoided the corpse feast ceremony. At least this allowed Liu Bei to understand that Xiong Yi and the others were not ordinary people. But regardless of whether they were ordinary people or not, it was a very good thing to be able to learn this kind of super-speed regeneration from them.
As for why he didn't learn from Sun Liang, Sun Liang's advanced super-speed regeneration made Liu Bei feel like he was watching a horror movie. What a joke! He completely understood his own veterans.
After listening to Liu Bei's explanation, Chen Xi roughly completed Zhang Liang's situation in his mind. The wound, which was more than ten centimeters long, was forcibly closed within a dozen seconds, and then quickly scabbed over and healed in more than ten minutes. With such an exaggerated recovery ability, the injuries caused by the violent collision and the broken capillaries in the body could probably be mostly recovered in one breath.
"Lord Xuande, what do you think is the possibility that Zhang Liang can defeat Zena now?" Chen Xi suddenly spoke up. Chen Xi and Liu Bei actually knew that Zena was in the Weiyang Palace, but this matter was not something they should intervene in at their level. It was something that the veteran should handle himself.
"If it is the current incarnation of Zena, Zhang Liang will have no problem defeating him. Even though this incarnation has shown the strength of the seventh level for some reason, facing the current Zhang Liang, at most Zhang Liang will be slightly injured, and the Zena incarnation will die directly." Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Considering the super-speed regeneration, the injury will have no effect on Zhang Liang."
"Zena's will form is in a state of breaking limits and performing martial arts in the small world. We are willing to provide some extra resources so that he can rebuild it. He can reach the strength of his original body." Chen Xi said very seriously. He was also paying attention to the Weiyang Palace. After all, those were the backbone of the Kushan Empire.
"It's probably difficult to win. But if a fight breaks out, it won't be easy for Zena to kill Zhang Liang because of his super-speed regeneration. Even if Zhang Liang can get a chance..." Liu Bei thought for a while and said. To be honest, it was really beyond Liu Bei's expectation that an old soldier from Beigui could be so strong. To kill such an old soldier under the clouds, it would almost require a warrior of Zhang Fei's level. This surprised Liu Bei.
As for the officers who are weaker than Zhang Fei, they can defeat Zena on the battlefield. It is not easy to kill Zena. After all, the opponent is a soldier, and if you can't win, you can just run away at the speed of light.
Well, it has been confirmed that Zena's light and shadow manipulation may be half a level higher than Bone Laili. Bone Laili is already in the top 50 in terms of light and shadow manipulation talent. So according to the analysis of the intelligence team, Zena is likely to have a rainbow-like running away finishing move.
"No, we have got the chance. Unless we can smash Zena to death with one blow, Zena will try to escape and Zhang Liang will have no way to stop him." Liu Bei shook his head and said.
"In that case, forget it. I also said that if we can win, we can make some arrangements and let Zhang Liang bet on Zena." Chen Xi sighed.
"Spend some resources to allow Zena to demonstrate his peak strength and see if we can meet him then." Liu Bei thought about it and felt that it was acceptable to spend some resources on this.
"The Princess Team's chances of winning the championship have greatly increased." Chen Xi complained from the sidelines.
"I don't think so." Liu Bei said with a smile, "There are some ridiculously strong veterans among the scattered teams, and some of the participating veterans really don't come here to win. To be honest, the environment of the Grand Martial Arts Show is indeed suitable for them to develop new talents and new self-destruct finishing moves."
It sounds outrageous, but in fact, many veterans who don't have much obsession discovered that the Taiwei team does not exist, the members of Chen Hou team were all formed by luck, the Prince team does not exist either, and when asked again, the Princess team was also formed. This group of people was embarrassed and directly used the small world of this grand martial arts performance for a test.
Just like Xia Yi had to use the Heavenly Demon before he died in the Nordic world.
