Hearing Zhou Ruo'an's explanation, a hint of interest appeared in Ling Tianwang's eyes.

"He's quite a smart person."

Zhou Ruo'an smiled.

"Since you don't want to return to the Zhou Family, what plans do you have for the future?"

A plan? Glimmers danced in Zhou Ruo'an's eyes.

She was used to living one day at a time, licking blood on the tip of a knife. Now that she mentioned the plan, she really couldn't think of anything for a while. But there was one thing without a doubt, and that was the Zhou Family!

Thinking about Zhou Family, killing intent surfaced in Zhou Ruo'an's eyes.

"If Your Highness trusts me, leave me some food to eat. Once I take down the Zhou Family, the army in the capital will be nothing more than a word of mouth to you. "

"Oh?" Ling Tianwang raised his eyebrows, "How can This King believe you?"

Zhou Ruo'an laughed at herself.

Indeed, there was not a shred of credibility in her words.

She was merely an existence that could be beaten and scolded by anyone within the Zhou Family. Just a day ago, she was still imprisoned in the dungeon, and had been beaten black and blue by someone. With such a character, how could he make others believe in her? One day, would she even be able to topple Zhou Family?

"Then let's take a gamble."

"Tell me about it." Ling Tianwang smiled and was very interested in Zhou Ruo'an.

Zhou Ruo'an got up from the bed while enduring the pain. She looked outside at the drill grounds and saw a large group of soldiers standing there. They were holding long spears in their hands and shouting slogans as they trained.

"Give me twenty men. Seven days later, I will return a squad of elite soldiers to you."

Of course, there was a prerequisite.

That afternoon, Zhou Ruo'an stood on the drill ground, looking at the soldiers with a serious expression.

She did not intend to spend too much time on the selection. The fastest way was to let these soldiers compete in pairs.

She first picked out a group of strong and strong people who didn't look clumsy. She was prepared to choose the ones qualified to join her squad from these people.

"Those I choose, step forward."

The dozens of young people were obviously unconvinced, but because Ling Tianwang was here, they couldn't openly defy this seemingly weak woman.

Zhou Ruo'an knew these people wouldn't be convinced by her, so she sneered.

"I know that you all are not convinced by me. If anyone can step out and defeat me, I will leave without a word."

Her tone was extremely arrogant. Many soldiers revealed signs of ridicule. However, due to Ling Tianwang, they did not dare to brazenly laugh out loud.

As soon as Zhou Ruo'an said that, a muscular man stood up.

"Little girl, you're still wounded. Next time, don't say that I, Old Jia, am bullying you!"

Then he laughed.

However, Zhou Ruo'an did not give him the chance to laugh. Almost at the same time the brawny man threw his head back and laughed heartily, Zhou Ruo'an used one move to defeat him. She quickly and ruthlessly beat him to the ground.

The brawny man could not laugh. His face was flushed and he was so angry that he wanted to curse.

"You sneak attack! Not really, let's do it again! "

Zhou Ruo'an shrugged and let him go.

This time, Zhou Ruo'an purposefully let the strong man have his way. At first, she avoided direct confrontation with him, but in the end, she only dealt with the enemy with one blow.

After witnessing Zhou Ruo'an's capabilities, this time, no one dared to question her.

The people she had chosen were all looking at her with admiration. After all, the strong man she had defeated was one of the most tyrannical men among them. They had all been taken advantage of by him before.

"Who else wants to try?"

Zhou Ruo'an was full of energy. Her cold tone was like ice in winter, making people tremble.

Zhou Ruo'an was satisfied that no one questioned her ability any longer.

"You guys, split into groups of two and choose your own partners. There's only one move you can make to defeat your opponent, so you can stay. After one move, both sides will be standing, and you can leave together."

The people who were chosen looked at each other, while the other onlookers also started to whisper amongst themselves.

This was a rule of elimination that they had never experienced before.

In the end, only twenty-three players remained.

"Anyone else who wishes to issue a challenge, come at me. Similarly, if you defeat them with one move, you will take over his position. Everyone only has one chance to issue a challenge. "

With that, Zhou Ruo'an pointed at the 23 young men behind her.

Amongst the crowd, some of those who did not get selected at the beginning were eager to give it a try.

There were people coming forward to challenge him. Some were successful, while others were failed.

After eliminating most of the afternoon, only twenty-three people remained on stage.

"From now on, I will be in charge of your training. "He Bin, you'll be the leader."

He Bin was a young man whom Zhou Ruo'an thought highly of.

"Yes sir!"

The first task Zhou Ruo'an had given them was to jog three lances around the huge drill ground. The first person to reach the finish line could rest for an hour while the rest of them would put down their lances and run three lances. As for the last person, he would run five laps.

At first, this group of young people didn't care about this mission. However, when they reached the second lap, their stamina gradually decreased.

At this time, the benefits of being first place became a huge benefit. Everyone was trying their best to compete for first place.

After running three laps, He Bin obtained first place and an hour of rest. Although it was called resting, it was actually to supervise the others in continuing to run in circles.

Many of the soldiers who had finished their training also came over to join in the fun, but after running a round, they all dispersed.

During dinner time, Zhou Ruo'an didn't listen to Ling Tianwang and went back to her room to eat. Instead, she stayed on the training field with the soldiers under her feet to nibble on the white mantou.

"Hehe, don't mention it. Running laps around like this is tiring, but I have never felt so good before!"

The one who spoke was a rough looking man, but he had a straightforward character and was quite familiar with the people around him.

The others also joined in, chatting merrily.

Zhou Ruo'an sat in the middle of them, listening to their conversation with a smile on her face. She didn't participate in their conversation.

After the meal, Zhou Ruo'an let He Bin lead them around the small training field a few times while she went around to a remote corner to carefully examine the place.

"What are you looking at?"

Ling Tianwang's voice came from behind. Zhou Ruo'an turned around and met his gaze.

"Nothing."

She didn't plan to tell Ling Tianwang more details. After all, this was her bargaining chip, so she had to do all the training secretly.

Seeing that she didn't want to say it, Ling Tianwang didn't force her. He walked forward a few steps and stood by Zhou Ruo'an's side.

"Your training methods were researched and developed by the Zhou Family?"

Zhou Ruo'an frowned, then sneered coldly.

"Of course not. Just based on them alone, you don't have the brains to do so. "

"So, you're the one who created it?"

Zhou Ruo'an shook her head. It wasn't her creation, but her own experience.

In her previous life, when she was still an ignorant child, she was forced to undergo training after training until she became a qualified killer and left the "cradle".
