Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 274 - 276: The Lost Classics

"If you're all truly this pathetic, I don't even have the slightest interest in toying with you." Wu Tian was very disappointed. The 108 men lowered their heads in shame. They were actually inferior to a little girl, and that wasn't even the worst of it. A bird and a dog had both performed better than them, which was utterly humiliating. Wu Tian continued, "Now, all of you, stand at attention."

The 108 men immediately stood ramrod straight, doing their best to steady their breathing.

Wu Tian looked at the thirty-six men selected from the Underworld. "Vicious Dog's henchmen, step forward."

They stepped out proudly. Their performance this time wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. However, they were proud because they had been pitted against the guards of the Cui Family of Qinghe. At first, they didn't understand the significance of this, but after looking it up online, everything became clear. On top of that, they had also competed against the Wei Wu soldiers.

They were immensely proud of this achievement.

"The last three, step out as well," Wu Tian said.

Vicious Dog and two of his men reluctantly stepped forward. The two henchmen looked fine, just like everyone else, but Vicious Dog was staggering. He had tried his best, but he really couldn't outrun the others. He had only entered the Underworld this year. Before that, he'd been a good student, so how could he possibly compare to them?

Vicious Dog expected to be scolded, but he wasn't.

Instead, Wu Tian said, "You did very well. From my perspective, your stamina shouldn't have been enough to get you this far."

Vicious Dog nodded and said, "My... my stamina is poor. All I have is my intellect. I even looked up some special forces training methods yesterday."

"Oh? And what do you have to say?" Wu Tian's tone was flat.

Vicious Dog replied, "There's a lot to say, but it's useless without personal experience. The most relevant point right now is that you shouldn't drink water until you've fully recovered."

Wu Tian nodded, then looked at Vicious Dog's men and said coldly, "You all ran quite fast, didn't you?"

Wu Tian's tone was clearly hostile.

They sensed trouble, but they couldn't understand why. After all, they weren't in the last three.

Why does Mr. Wu Tian seem displeased with us?

Wu Tian said coldly, "From now on, you will wash everyone's clothes."

Upon hearing this, Vicious Dog's men were confused. The Cui Family guards and Xiao Liang's Wei Wu soldiers were also completely bewildered.

One of the men, though frightened, hesitated before stammering, "I... I object."

It was a simple objection, but saying it to Wu Tian's face was incredibly difficult. He shivered, taking a long, stuttering breath before he finally managed to get the words out.

"Object?" Wu Tian smiled. "What do you object to?"

The brawny man swallowed hard and summoned his courage. "Our... our speed wasn't any worse than the Cui Family guards or the Wei Wu soldiers. What's wrong with that?"

Vicious Dog's other men also nodded in agreement, their faces full of indignation, as if they had been deeply wronged by Wu Tian.

Wu Tian found it amusing. "Okay, I'll tell you the reason," he said coldly. "You are Vicious Dog's men, aren't you? Yet, with the exception of two people, the rest of you abandoned him. What does that tell you? It tells you that in your hearts, you don't consider him your leader! I put you through this test to foster unity, not for you to abandon your own. Do you understand now?"

Hearing this, they glanced at Vicious Dog shamefully before lowering their heads one by one.

Wu Tian said, "Remember, this is a one-time thing. From now on, when I tell you to do something, I have my reasons. You just do it. No questions asked. Understand?"

The sheer authority in Wu Tian's voice made them break out in a cold sweat, none daring to look up.

Wu Tian then looked at Vicious Dog's men, his voice so calm it was frightening. "Now, do you still object?"

All of Vicious Dog's men knelt, except for the two who had deliberately stayed back with their leader despite being faster than him.

"We accept your judgment, heart and soul."

Wu Tian nodded and finally began to explain the One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Combat Grand Formation.

Every word was profound and mysterious, leaving the 108 men completely baffled. Nevertheless, under Wu Tian's guidance, they committed his words to memory. Then, they began to practice the formation.

Whenever someone made a mistake, Wu Tian would immediately have Little Kirin bite them. The person who was bitten would instantly remember where they had gone wrong. Suddenly, the number of mistakes plummeted. No one wanted to be bitten by a dog. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Wu Tian had them practice a bizarre square formation, urging them to repeat it over and over.

After running through the formation just once, they all felt their limbs go weak. A short while later, however, they discovered that the muscles in their arms and legs felt more substantial.

If we can keep improving like this, becoming the best of the best elite soldiers or even powerful figures in the city won't be a difficult task at all!

With this realization, they stopped complaining, and the day passed just like that.

「That evening.」

Wu Tian returned home, carrying the little one, with Little Phoenix and Little Kirin in tow. Not long after he walked through the door, Xiao Liang and Cui Chong came looking for him.

I know they've completed the task I gave them. But they didn't text or call; they came in person. Something must have happened. Otherwise, these two elders wouldn't be in such a rush.

"Mr. Wu Tian, may we have a word?" Cui Chong and Xiao Liang asked respectfully.

Wu Tian nodded and went out with them to the courtyard.

Xiao Liang and Cui Chong were themselves major figures in the city, yet they looked at Wu Tian as if gazing upon a god.

Inside the house, Murong Yezi and Qin Yuhan were taken aback by the scene.

The little one giggled and said, "I've found my dream."

"What is it?" Murong Yezi and Qin Yuhan asked curiously.

A typical little girl's dream was to become a teacher or maybe a celebrity when she grew up.

But the little one was different. "I want to be the boss!" she declared.

Murong Yezi and Qin Yuhan were left speechless.

「Outside the house.」

Xiao Liang said, "Tianzan has investigated. The Sword Emperor has declared to the Jianghu that you are a heretic of the Martial Arts World. He is calling on the other members of the Seven Saints of Dragon Country to eradicate this evil. This means that, aside from the Sword Emperor himself, the other Saints are already in Yang City."

Wu Tian nodded, not particularly concerned.

The Seven Saints of Dragon Country... it certainly sounded intimidating. To think they'd actually call themselves 'saints'. But in my eyes, they're nothing more than ants. Whether in terms of cultivation or anything else, how could they possibly be worthy of the title 'saint'?

"Also, Mr. Wu Tian, about Wu Fa, whom you asked me to keep an eye on—he has a new development," Cui Chong said. "He's been searching everywhere for a Divine Doctor, but to no avail. So, he came up with a plan: he's convening a Divine Doctor Conference."

"On what grounds can he convene a Divine Doctor Conference?" Wu Tian asked.

"He claims to possess several lost texts, including the Green Satchel Book, the Thirteen Departments of Zhu You, and the Fetal Membrane Medicine Record," Cui Chong stated solemnly. "That's why even Huangfu Huisheng, the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, has reportedly come to attend."
