#285 - Chapter 285 Changing Route

After arriving at the Hong Sect and settling the Sword Hall disciples, Cheng Feng chatted with Wang Hu about the current state of the Hong Sect.

Currently, the Hong Sect disciples are saturated.

Besides the hundred Sword Hall disciples and the hundred Horizontal Training Hall disciples,

the other three halls each have a thousand disciples, and these are already the screened disciples with potential.

Those without courage, those who are timid and afraid to fight, have all been rotated out of the Hong Sect.

The Human Hall has over a thousand disciples, and the lowest level is a martial artist of the Strength Training Realm.

Previously, when Cheng Feng first opened the Hong Sect, he also placed several batches of disciples who were about to become martial artists.

At this time, they have all become Strength Training martial artists.

In addition, there are the martial artist disciples from other gangs that have been absorbed, forming the current Human Hall.

Only those in the Blood Refining Realm can enter the Earth Hall, and so far, they are all in the Sword Hall.

The Hong Sect's senior management is still not at ease, and since Wei Zhuang is not here, it can only be put on hold for the time being.

There are still five hundred people in the training camp, and Wei Zhuang said that this batch of people has great potential.

Everyone is waiting for them to officially enter the Human Hall.

This is the current Hong Sect. The more people there are, the stricter the assessment.

Those who can be cut back are directly cut back, leaving only the elite.

Even so, it requires the strong support of the Hong Sect.

Raising people also requires money.

Of the eighty thousand taels of silver that Cheng Feng left for the Hong Sect, there are still thirty thousand taels left.

Most of it was used to lay the foundation for the Hong Sect.

And now, the Hong Sect's income and expenditure no longer need to be balanced.

The protection fees and venue fees received from the three districts, as well as the commissions from some businesses, are enough to support this large group of people, and there will be a surplus.

Cheng Feng was not surprised. This was originally the path and direction he left for the Hong Sect when he stepped down.

After chatting with Wang Hu about the current situation of the Hong Sect, he will also bring a new direction of development to the Hong Sect.

"This time we went to the Prefecture City, it was really an eye-opener!

However, I found that if you want to gain a foothold in the Prefecture City, you must have enough strength. Our current strength is not enough.

So after Wei Zhuang comes back, he will only be allowed to lead the Sword Hall disciples to other counties to develop territory.

Let's not be greedy, just ask for a place in each county. In this way, even if the situation changes in the future, we will have a way out.

The timing to develop the Prefecture City is not yet ripe, let's work hard to improve ourselves first.

In addition, we can set up the task of developing other counties as a gang task, with two hundred people as a group, and go directly to the surrounding counties.

If we can successfully occupy the territory, we will give merit rewards. These merits can be used to exchange for gold, silver, jewelry, martial arts techniques, and anything that the Hong Sect has.

At the same time, we must also open branch halls of the Hong Sect. If someone can successfully occupy and gain a firm foothold, the Hong Sect headquarters will issue a branch hall order.

At that time, the head of that department will become the master of the branch hall and be responsible for managing the affairs of that county. Of course, as a branch hall, it must hand in 40% of its income to the headquarters every month,

Those who violate this will be beheaded and displayed to the public!"

Wang Hu was sweating profusely as he listened: "Sect Master, isn't this step a bit too big?

The highest strength of these department heads is only the Perfection of Skin Refining Realm, and they have not even reached the Blood Refining Realm. Isn't this plan sending them to their deaths?"

Cheng Feng smiled frankly. After developing the Hong Sect for so long, it was time to replenish his own strength.

He wasn't running a charity hall. How could he allow people to eat and drink for free without any gains?

However, Wang Hu was also an old man who had contributed to the Hong Sect, and he had to give him face.

So Cheng Feng changed his tone and said: "How about this, you call all the disciples who have reached the Perfection of Skin Refining Realm over, I want to personally examine them and see how the Hong Sect disciples are doing now."

Hearing this, Wang Hu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as the Hong Sect disciples were not sent out without any preparation, the Sect Master would definitely have his own considerations for the rest.

He quickly cupped his fist at Cheng Feng and said respectfully: "Sect Master, please wait a moment, I have a record of the disciples who have reached the Perfection of Skin Refining Realm here." After saying that, Wang Hu turned around and walked to the side, took out a record paper from the table next to him that recorded the realm of the Hong Sect disciples and handed it to Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng took the paper and looked at it carefully, and a hint of surprise could not help but rise in his heart. Wang Hu was indeed worthy of being the controller of Black Ear, the martial artist information recorded on this paper was so complete, allowing Cheng Feng to clearly understand the situation of these disciples at a glance.

From name, personality, realm to family, surrounding relationships and development potential, there are comments.

The fifteen people at the front are all martial artists who have reached the Perfection of Skin Refining Realm, with detailed information.

Cheng Feng had nothing to be picky about.

After a simple glance, Cheng Feng waved his hand: "Time is of the essence, you go and gather them at the training ground now, I will personally examine their quality."

Cheng Feng's order was straightforward, revealing his emphasis and urgency on the upcoming mission. Wang Hu heard this and immediately bowed to take the order, turned around and strode away, his heart full of anticipation and tension for the upcoming test.

Not long after, on the training ground of the Hong Sect, fifteen carefully selected Skin Refining Realm Perfection martial artists stood neatly and uniformly on the open space, each with a straight posture and eyes shining with confidence and tenacity.

The sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on them, as if putting a layer of golden armor on them.

Cheng Feng stepped into the training ground, his pace steady and powerful, and his appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention. He looked around and showed silent approval of Wang Hu's efficiency, then slowly walked towards the fifteen martial artists.

"Everyone, I am the former Hong Sect Master, Cheng Feng." Cheng Feng's voice was not loud, but it clearly spread throughout the training ground. His words carried an undeniable majesty and power. "Today, I have gathered you here because there is an important task that you need to complete together.

This task is very dangerous, but the rewards are also very generous. Before that, I need to personally test your strength."

After saying that, Cheng Feng's figure moved slightly, as if a gust of wind swept past, and he instantly appeared on the high platform in the center of the training ground. His eyes were like torches, scanning the martial artists below, and he continued: "Next, I will set up a series of tests, designed to test your abilities. Remember, please show all your strength, and Wang Hu next to you will score your performance."

As Cheng Feng's voice fell, the atmosphere on the training ground instantly became tense and solemn. The martial artists looked at each other, their eyes filled with apprehension about the unknown challenges, as well as a desire for victory.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng nodded slightly, satisfied with the fighting spirit of this group of young people. He then announced the specific content and rules of the test,

The first is martial force. As a martial artist, how can you do without enough martial force?

So the training display of two-on-two confrontation began. Paired training, there will always be one person who gets a bye.

As time passed, the test gradually came to an end. Each battle was like a life-and-death contest, with every punch hitting flesh, fierce and cruel.

However, these fifteen martial artists always maintained their firm belief and tenacious fighting spirit. With fearless courage and excellent skills, they defeated their opponents time and time again, showing extraordinary strength.

When the last martial artist defeated his opponent and hot blood was spilled on the training ground, all the strange gazes in the audience stared at Cheng Feng standing on the stage.

Cheng Feng walked down the high platform and came to them. His eyes were full of approval and expectation. "Very good, you didn't disappoint me." He said in a deep voice, his voice revealing his affirmation and trust in these martial artists. "The next task will be even more difficult, but I believe you will definitely meet the requirements!" His words were like a torch, igniting the fire of hope in everyone's hearts.
