“Do you have an interest in learning martial arts from me?”

“Yes! Are you willing to teach me?”

Qin Silong responded, “If you genuinely desire to learn, starting today, I will formally instruct you in martial arts.”

His excitement was so overwhelming that he was on the verge of kneeling to request apprenticeship.

Qin Silong reacted promptly, pulling him up and stating, “I’m willing to impart martial arts techniques to you, but I won’t assume the role of your master.”

“There are two reasons for this. Firstly, the martial arts techniques I’ve acquired are rather intricate, akin to amalgamating the strengths of countless schools. I have no allegiance to any specific sect.”

“The second reason is that I’ve never contemplated taking on a disciple. My intent in teaching you martial arts is to enable you to earn merits and achieve a higher status upon entering the military camp!”

“Typically, when new recruits join the military camp, they select a decurion within a month.”

“If a decurion prevails, they won’t need to make any contributions; they simply need to employ their strength to dominate their peers.”

“How did you become so knowledgeable about the military camp? Do you even know how to choose a decurion?”

Qin Silong elaborated, “What’s so challenging about that? If you have the determination to inquire, you’ll undoubtedly become well-versed in all the intricacies. ”

“Ever since I was young, my aspiration was to enter the military camp. I’ve long comprehended the inner workings of the military camp through insights from my uncle.”

“You need not ridicule my less than pure intentions, and you shouldn’t assume that I joined the military camp solely for personal advancement and wealth.”

“Perhaps you’ve heard the saying that soldiers who don’t aspire to become generals are not exceptional soldiers!”

“Hence, as we embark on our journey into the military camp, our duty extends beyond safeguarding our nation; we must also nurture lofty aspirations. We shall commence as decurions and ascend the ranks to achieve the status of a general! ”

“For only by occupying a significant position with genuine authority can we effectively contribute to our country’s welfare and protection!”

Upon concluding his words, Qin Silong appeared to exhale a sigh of relief.

Stirring within his heart the desire to pursue a career in government service and imbuing him with a clear purpose had not been an easy feat. Fortunately, his words had struck a chord.

“Brother Qin, you’re absolutely correct!”

“Listening to your wisdom is more enlightening than a decade of study!”

“I vow that upon entering the military camp, I shall begin as a decurion and steadily ascend the ranks!”

Qin Silong responded, “Precisely. That’s why I won’t instruct you in martial arts techniques.”

“Agreed. Upon entering the military camp, we shall not only support each other but also inspire one another to see who can progress more swiftly.” “Are you suggesting a competition between us?”

Qin Silong nodded. “Indeed, it adds an element of excitement!”

“Very well, it’s a pact!”

“With approximately two months remaining until the spring recruitment, I will impart all the martial arts knowledge at my disposal to you. The extent of your learning will depend on your diligence and fortune.”

He placed a hand on his chest and pledged, “I will give it my all. You won’t be disappointed!”

Qin Silong sought out Qin Zhenzhen.

To convey his thoughts…

“I hope this will completely alter his destiny.”

Only by changing his fate could he change the fate of his entire family.

Qin Zhenzhen remarked, “Honestly, I share your sentiment.”

“I can’t assure you that this approach will definitively alter his destiny.”

“Yet, aside from enlisting in the military camp, I’m hard-pressed to envision an alternative course.”

Qin Zhenzhen harbored concerns that he might opt to return to the Marquis Mansion and descend into a life of frivolity. In such a scenario, his companions might become his sycophants, steering him down a misguided path.

In such a case, it could very well align with the narrative outlined in the original book..
