I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 84: The Outstanding Talent Han Zheng
Hearing Han Zheng's choice, Wen Tingyun nodded slightly and turned to the side, "Go call for Yang Tianqi."
Han Zheng then noticed that there was an exotic bird, entirely black, next to Wen Tingyun's desk.
The bird, similar to an eagle but not an eagle, was the size of a parrot.
Upon hearing her, the exotic bird nodded and flew out like a flash of black lightning.
Shortly after, a Xuanjia Guard in his twenties with unusually large eyes strode into the room.
"Wen, are you looking for me?"
Wen Tingyun pointed at Han Zheng and said, "He is the new Xuanjia Guard, directly assigned to the Kui Character Camp. You're clever, which makes you the perfect person to mentor him."
Yang Tianqi looked somewhat surprised at Han Zheng.
Normally, Xuanjia Guards joined the Kui Character Camp after being promoted from the Reserve Camp.
The Reserve Camp was also at the headquarters of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and he recognized everyone there, but Han Zheng was clearly a new face.
Being directly assigned to the Kui Character Camp without going through the Reserve Camp was indeed strange.
However, Yang Tianqi did not ponder too much on it. He flashed a brilliant smile at Han Zheng, "I am Yang Tianqi, I have been mingling in the Demon Cleansing Bureau since I was a kid. Brother, if you have any questions or anything you don't understand, just ask me."
"I am Han Zheng, and I shall be in your care in the future, Brother Yang."
Wen Tingyun raised an eyebrow slightly, "Mingling? Did you come to the Demon Cleansing Bureau to 'mingle'?"
Yang Tianqi gave himself a smack on the cheek and said with an apologetic smile, "Look at this mouth of mine, a slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue."
With a light snort, Wen Tingyun gestured, "Off you go."
After Han Zheng and Yang Tianqi left the hall, an old Garrison Captain wearing Profound Gold Swallowing Lion Armor with white hair and beard, looking to be in his sixties or seventies, walked into the hall.
"Little Wen, was there a new person just now?"
Wen Tingyun nodded, "Yes, he was recommended by Zhang Tianyang. You must have heard about the incident in Black Stone County with Yuan Longshan?
He is a survivor from the battle at Black Stone County, and he was the one who killed Yuan Longshan."
The old Capital Commandant sighed, "Zhang Tianyang has already gone to find Garrison Commander Chen. The news has already come back.
It's a shame about Yuan Longshan, I thought highly of him.
Even though his talent was limited, both his combat abilities and capabilities were strong, and the Mountain Character Camp had cultivated many outstanding individuals.
There were even two Garrison Captains who had come from the Mountain Character Camp.
It's unexpected that he ended up scheming against his own brothers for a Spirit Pill and met such a fate.
The Demon Cleansing Bureau indeed has secret techniques for rebirth and body remodeling. Why did he resort to such actions?
Such a pity, such a pity indeed."
Wen Tingyun spoke lightly, "He couldn't wait. The Demon Cleansing Bureau does have secret techniques and treasures for rebirth and body remodeling.
But with Yuan Longshan's status, he would not be able to accumulate enough Merit Points in a short period.
Yet he was unwilling to remain as he was for his whole life, so he had to take a drastic measure.
Not everyone has the Mental State like you, Elder Xu, to watch the younger generation surpass you and still remain indifferent about these things.
Garrison Commander Chen was once under your mentorship; you can call him 'sir' without any grudges, but Yuan Longshan could not do that."
Elder Xu shook his head, "That's why I say it's such a pity. Why couldn't he see the bigger picture?
In the Martial Arts path, the enlightened ones lead the way. This old man is content to have made it from a street beggar to this position in life. There are countless geniuses in the world; why should I compare with them?
Now look, after all his scheming, he has lost his life. It's truly a shame."
A hint of coldness flashed in Wen Tingyun's eyes, "Yuan Longshan's ambition to rise to a high position, his desire for power, there's nothing wrong with that.
He could have gone to Demon Suppression Pass to kill demons and earn merits, or eradicate the Smell Fragrance Sect, or suppress those Sect families.
Instead, he chose to scheme against his own people, needlessly wasting the lives of more than a dozen elite members of our Demon Cleansing Bureau.
From the moment he made that decision, he was no longer worthy of pity."
Elder Xu gave a dry laugh.
Although Wen Tingyun seemed gentle and amiable, in reality, her tactics were sharp, her actions decisive, and her heart was hard. She was quite a different person compared to her outward appearance.
It's just that those young Martial Artists of the Demon Cleansing Bureau were too easily deceived by appearances, truly believing that the head steward of Southern Mountain's Demon Cleansing Bureau, Wen Tingyun, was a gentle big sister.
"Right, that newcomer's qualities aren't bad and are indeed worth cultivating.
As Zhang Tianyang would say, this person, in terms of temperament, methods and combat understanding, is among the best of the younger generation, it's just that his natural talent is slightly lacking."
Old Master Xu frowned slightly, "Isn't this just another Yuan Longshan? When Yuan Longshan was young, he was also like this — good temperament, methods, combat understanding, but with just mediocre talent."
Wen Tingyun said nonchalantly, "The path is one's own to walk. Yuan Longshan chose the wrong path, and it's not known if he will make a mistake.
However, Old Master Xu, you are mistaken about one thing. This young man is even more outstanding than Yuan Longshan was back then.
He hadn't officially joined the Demon Cleansing Bureau before he killed the wanted Swallowing Ghost Child.
That guy possessed the Yin Ghost Secret Skill, and the evil ghost within him could trigger the fear in a martial artist's heart, very difficult to handle at a critical moment, and thus had not been dealt with.
Unexpectedly, he is now killed by Han Zheng's hand.
Although Han Zheng said he took advantage of the situation as his opponent was already severely injured, it's still impressive."
"He actually killed the Swallowing Ghost Child?"
Old Master Xu expressed slight amazement but soon sighed, "He's a promising seedling, but it's a pity he's born at an inopportune time. The world is becoming more and more chaotic.
The disturbances of the Smell Fragrance Sect have emerged in Huainan Road. Garrison Commander Mo Qianshan of Huainan and Garrison Commander Chen Zhenfu are sworn brothers. If Huainan is in trouble, he can't ignore it.
But here in Southern Mountain, there are no shortage of issues either. Those few areas are like volcanoes, ready to erupt at any time."
"The more chaotic the world is, the more opportunities there are."
Wen Tingyun narrowed her eyes, "Great Zhou has been established for three thousand years, whether it be the courts or the Martial World, numerous strong figures have emerged.
Yet, all these strong figures combined are not as many as during the last period of ancient times, at the beginning of Great Zhou's establishment.
In a chaotic world, heroes rise to compete, I truly wish to see that truly spectacular era."
Old Master Xu looked at Wen Tingyun somewhat speechlessly.
This child's worldview is a bit problematic, she actually prefers chaos on earth over peace.
Over the years, outsiders have always thought that Southern Mountain Garrison Commander Chen Baxian's actions are radical, even crazy.
But in reality, the person giving advice behind Chen Baxian is actually Wen Tingyun, who appears gentle, but in reality is full of crazy ideas.
Han Zheng followed Yang Tianqi out of the hall and looked around, asking, "Where are we going now?"
"You're new to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, so naturally, you need to first collect a set of Xuan Armor and a waist plate from the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
But in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, disciples are usually selected from the Reserve Camp. Whose connection did you use to join the Demon Cleansing Bureau directly?"
Yang Tianqi was somewhat curious about this.
The Demon Cleansing Bureau ensures the strength of its personnel by selecting from the Reserve Camp. They then undergo assessments before becoming true members of the Xuanjia Guard.
Ninety percent of martial artists in the Demon Cleansing Bureau entered through this method.
It was rare for someone like Han Zheng to join the Demon Cleansing Bureau directly.
"I was directly recommended by Lord Zhang Tianyang using his authority."
"So you were actually recommended by Lord Zhang Tianyang, no wonder Lord Wen personally summoned you.
It seems Lord Zhang Tianyang truly has high hopes for you to use his authority like that."
Han Zheng asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
Yang Tianqi explained, "Although the team leaders in the Demon Cleansing Bureau have the authority to recommend, once this process is used, the recommender and the recommended are both honored or shamed together.

To put it simply, if you make a mistake, he will also be punished, and punished even more severely since his judgment was wrong.
Even if you do no wrong, but your performance turns out to be mediocre and the merits you achieve are less than the average in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, the person who recommended you will also be punished.
Therefore, although martial artists above the rank of team leader in the Demon Cleansing Bureau all have the qualifications to recommend others, some have never used this authority in their lifetime.
After all, no one wants to gamble their honor and disgrace on someone else.
Given Lord Zhang Tianyang's character, for him to recommend you is truly uncommon."
"What about Lord Zhang Tianyang's character? Is he unpopular in the Demon Cleansing Bureau?"
Han Zheng also noticed that although Zhang Tianyang was just a team leader, he was quite famous in the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, and many people recognized him.
"The character of Lord Zhang Tianyang is quite good actually, he's recognized as having enough integrity, and you can trust him one hundred percent when you're on a mission with him.
As long as he's not dead, no matter how dangerous the situation, he wouldn't abandon you and flee first.
However, Lord Zhang Tianyang is just too earnest and strict, he can't tolerate any flaws, and working with him on missions you're likely to get scolded."
