Chapter 56: Still Going Well
"Li Dingguo, are you going out for a while?"
"Where are you going? Do you want me to go with you?"
After breakfast, Li Dingguo came to the front courtyard and practiced the Tiger Roar Fist for about half an hour. Then he said something to Ai Nengqi beside him, and this guy asked curiously.
"It's nothing serious. Don't I have a younger sister in the city?"
Li Dingguo waved his hand calmly and said, "Well, I'll go see her today while I'm free."
"Let's go out of town and hunt a bigger beast so she can have some meat for a few days. She hasn't had meat for a long time."
"By the way, Archie, if the king comes and asks about it, you can help me fool him."
After saying that, he stood up, picked up the spiritual weapon spear beside him, put on the spiritual weapon bow and arrow on his back, and waved to Ai Nengqi.
Afterwards, he gave a few instructions to Tang Guangqiang who was nearby, asking him to be responsible for leading his team members today and to stay in the Wang family compound to train hard. Then he turned around and walked towards the stable.
"Dingguo, don't worry, I know the importance of this matter."
Ai Nengqi said loudly behind him, "You must remember to work harder! Otherwise, when I break through to the second level of martial arts in the next two days, I will really surpass you."
"When the time comes, don't let me beat you up and make you cry!"
He had gone through two actual combat training sessions in the past two or three days and had eaten a lot of monster meat. In addition, he had outstanding talent, and his major in the Big Dipper Tiangang Star Scripture had already reached a proficient level.
He successfully broke through to the peak of the first level of martial arts last night, and even felt like he had broken through the bottleneck of a higher realm.
This guy has a straightforward character and is telling the truth. He is not trying to provoke Li Dingguo.
"Haha! Archie, when the time comes, just come over and see who gets beaten to tears!"
Li Dingguo found it funny and turned around to reply. He no longer paid any attention to the fool and strode straight towards the stable.
It would not be surprising if he left the training ground like this today.
This morning, after breakfast, Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier led their two teams of warriors out of the city to look for level one monsters and continue their actual combat training.
It has to be said that in order to catch up with the cultivation progress of Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi, these two guys really tried their best.
As we all know, the best way for a martial artist to practice is to fight instead of train.
One actual combat experience will be more effective than two days of practice.
Especially for young geniuses like them who are just starting out, accumulating enough practical experience is more important than improving their cultivation.
The two times that Zhang Xianzhong led the team out for actual combat experience, Li Dingguo's performance was so outstanding that it really stimulated Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier.
How could these two very strong-willed people admit defeat?
A moment later, Li Dingguo, fully armed and riding his spiritual beast, a big black horse, left the Wang family compound and galloped along the main street towards the east city gate.
When he arrived at the east gate and saw that it was wide open, he nodded to the dozen or so soldiers guarding the gate, and without stopping, he rushed out on his horse.
It was probably because Zhang Xianzhong had already instructed yesterday that the soldiers from the Youth Camp should be allowed to leave the city without being stopped.
Li Dingguo now has a great reputation in this rebel army, and many rebel soldiers know him.
The dozen or so soldiers in charge of guarding the city gate have seen Li Dingguo several times in the past two days.
Especially Li Dingguo’s eye-catching sign: his spiritual beast mount, a black horse. They had seen it many times and must have recognized it.
When Li Dingguo left the city, they naturally would not come to stop him.
Li Dingguo walked out of the city gate, rode his horse at full speed along the official road leading to the southeast, and soon disappeared.
Just now, he did not see Cao Yongxiang, Xiao Douya and the others near the city gate tower. Obviously, Cao Yongxiang had completed the task he assigned and took Xiao Douya and the others out of the city smoothly.
He just galloped for a few miles and saw from afar on the right side of the road in front of him, a group of little girls, led by a young man in black tights, striding forward.
"Da da..." The sound of hurried horse hooves reached the ears of Cao Yongxiang, who was leading Xiao Douya and the others marching in front. He quickly looked back and saw Li Dingguo coming. His tense little face was immediately relieved and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not peaceful outside the city, and you may encounter unknown dangers at any time.
Although Cao Yongxiang successfully broke through to the middle stage of the first level of warrior yesterday evening, he was not sure he could protect Xiao Douya and the others.
Before Li Dingguo arrived, he was really sweating and very nervous.
Fortunately, Li Dingguo arrived in time, and Cao Yongxiang finally relaxed.
He had seen Li Dingguo's fighting ability with his own eyes and knew how powerful he was.
The first two actual combat experiences were probably not Li Dingguo's full strength.
In the previous two actual combat experiences, Li Dingguo easily killed the most dangerous and powerful enemies like a piece of dry wood and rotten wood.
This led to two complete victories, allowing this group of freshly-trained recruits to pass the actual combat assessment of the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong perfectly and without any damage.
"Big brother!"
“Boss!”…
Li Dingguo's arrival not only made Cao Yongxiang feel relieved, but also little girls like Xiao Douya and Hongmei relaxed their tense faces and greeted him one by one.
"Boss, luckily you have fulfilled your duty."
Cao Yongxiang came to Li Dingguo who had just jumped off his horse and said with a smile, "Those guards at the city gates would not dare to embarrass the soldiers of our Young Warriors Battalion, not to mention that they know me."
He had been worried that if something unexpected happened, it would delay Li Dingguo's plan.
It turned out that his efforts to make friends with the soldiers defending the city over the past few days had achieved certain results.
Who among the current rebel army does not know the importance of this battalion of young warriors in Zhang Xianzhong's heart?
Under normal circumstances, they would naturally turn a blind eye so as not to offend these young warriors who were highly valued by the king.
"it is good!"
Li Dingguo nodded and said to the little girls, "Our destination today, I believe Cao Yongxiang has just mentioned it to you all. It's still quite a long way to go."
"Let's work together and try to reach our destination before noon!"
"Cao Yongxiang and I brought you out this time because we want to teach you martial arts quietly!"
"You all know how chaotic this world is. In troubled times, it is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else!"
"Only by becoming a warrior can you have a certain ability to protect yourself in this dangerous world."
"Otherwise, you are no different from lambs to be slaughtered! If you run into any danger, you will die or be enslaved by others!"
"We orphans are born with low lives! But the future can be changed through our own efforts and luck!"
"Cao Yongxiang and I are the best examples before you!"
"After becoming a warrior, you can find ways to solve your food and clothing problems by yourself. You don't need to rely on begging for survival anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an inexplicable light in the eyes of these little girls.
That light is called hope.
Facts have proved that the spirit and energy displayed by people who have goals and dreams are completely different from when they are desperate and helpless.
These little girls have always believed in Li Dingguo and knew that he would not lie to them.
They felt full of energy, and their steps became lighter.
