Capítulo 1110: Chapter 92: Recruitnt
“In that case, why don’t you tell the story of you and your sister?”
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s words, Gongshu Ban slowly sank into his mories.
Gongshu Ban and his sister Gongshu Lin had always lived in the Yangshan Plane of the Thunder Realm. Speaking of this Thunder Realm, it is an extrely small world located in the vast land of the Sky Domain, consisting of only three planes: Yangshan, Yanglin, and Yanghai. One can imagine how small this world is with just the three planes making up its entirety.
Thus, the world’s entrance to the Thunder Realm is very small and located within a natural sea of thunder in the Sky Domain continent. Because the sea of thunder pours down Thunder Power year-round, most people who venture there are there to practice Lightning Magic. The sea is dangerous, ho to thunder beasts with unique features, so even if Cultivators enter the sea of thunder, they don’t stay long, nor do they wander around idly.
So, although the Thunder Realm is a world of its own, it is as remote and undiscovered by those living in the Nine Domains as the Star Sea Plane used to be.
The three major families residing within the Thunder Realm strictly adhere to the ancestors’ policy of isolation, and over the centuries, almost no clan mber has left the Thunder Realm. Their complete severance from the outside world has made them quite complacent, turning internal strife into the main the of life in the Thunder Realm.
The three planes are respectively inhabited by the Gongshu Family, the Shangguan Family, and the Nangong Family, three compound surna families.
Moreover, each of these three families masters a particular path of cultivation. The Gongshu Family masters the path of rituals, with a particular passion for Thunder Rituals. The Shangguan Family is devoted to Lightning Mage practices, while the Nangong Family opts for the Lightning path, cultivating Magic Fighters. This is the sa career path Lock Fan pursues, allowing the simultaneous cultivation of multiple magic systems, or focus on one.
The reason all three families are fond of the Lightning path is owing to their living environnt.
In the Thunder Realm, located in the sea of thunder, thousands of bolts of lightning constantly surge into the plane through the world portal.
Hence, the activity level of lightning elents in the entire Thunder Realm is hundreds or thousands of tis higher than other elents, making progress in Lightning cultivation the fastest.
Choosing Lightning for cultivation, one can almost break through the First Transition in a breath, swiftly reaching the Second; whereas, choosing another path, one may struggle to break through the Second Transition even over a century. So, what choice is there but the Lightning path?
The three families living in the Thunder Realm have waged constant warfare against each other, seeking to annex each other’s territories; but due to the tripartite stand-off, this balance has yet to break.
Gongshu Ban and his sister Gongshu Lin were originally outstanding talents within the Gongshu Family, following the young prodigies of their family to the portal of the Thunder Realm, bathing in the might of heavenly thunder to deepen their Lightning cultivation.
However, they were unlucky enough to encounter an ambush by the Nangong Family. As misfortune loves company, amid fierce combat, so relatives within the Gongshu Family, who had always opposed Gongshu Ban, chose this mont to act against the siblings, simultaneously attacking them. Gongshu Ban and his sister were imdiately gravely injured.
Fortunately, the Nangong Family was temporarily repelled, and the treachery was exposed within the Gongshu Family.
Having lost their parents early, Gongshu Ban and Gongshu Lin were raised by their elderly grandfather, who had little influence within the family.
The relatives who ambushed Gongshu Ban and Gongshu Lin were actually from the ruling echelon of the Gongshu Family.
It was unsurprising that the matter was turned upside down, causing Gongshu Ban and Gongshu Lin to be expelled from the Gongshu Family.
Having been driven out of the Gongshu Family, they resolutely decided to leave the Thunder Realm.
Barely escaping alive from the Thunder Realm, departing the sea of thunder, Gongshu Ban and Gongshu Lin learned from a Scavenger of the Hua Family’s martial arts tournant.
The Gongshu siblings, having grown up within a family, naturally knew the benefits of a family as a pillar, thus chose to co to Central City and join the Hua Family.
Along the way, they encountered multiple ambushes, and Gongshu Lin was once again severely injured in such ambush, with the injury from the Thunder Realm compounded by the new wound, leaving Gongshu Lin’s life hanging by a thread.
This led to the later challenge issued to Lu Hong in the arena.
After hearing Gongshu Ban’s straightforward recount, Lu Hong turned to glance at Gongshu Lin, who had already fallen asleep.
Gongshu Lin looked cute and delicate, appearing about twelve or thirteen years old, her cultivation reaching the Second Transition Level 4. Although much lower than Gongshu Ban, she could also be considered a prodigy, given her age.
Having carefully sensed Gongshu Lin’s body, Lu Hong said to Gongshu Ban, “Your sister should be fine now. The physician you found is quite skillful.”
“That’s good,” Gongshu Ban replied with a smile, nodding slightly. Then he added, “Benefactor, I can never set foot in the Thunder Realm again, but I can take you to its entrance, if you would agree.”
After Gongshu Ban’s introduction to the Thunder Realm, Lu Hong had lost interest in the Gongshu Family. A family mired in internal strife—what use is it?
“Forget it, I’ve just learned about it. Your Gongshu Family reverses right and wrong; I’m not interested in going,” Lu Hong waved his hand and said to Gongshu Ban, “Even though you lost the arena battle, the Hua Family has recognized your strength and talent. I believe soone from the Hua Family will soon co to discuss your joining the family. So, relax and focus on recovering.”
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s words, Gongshu Ban was sowhat puzzled, “I lost, will the Hua Family still actively recruit ?”
“Of course,” Lu Hong responded. “Most participants in this martial arts tournant are from families with none or small family backgrounds. They lack the support of family heritage; their strength is entirely self-earned. Without systematic cultivation, how many extraordinary prodigies can erge? So, the outco of the arena challenge is secondary. The Hua Family uses the arena challenge to assess each person’s abilities, selecting those with potential to join the family and invest resources for their cultivation.”
Understanding Lu Hong’s explanation, Gongshu Ban grinned and said, “Then doesn’t that an my benefactor can join the Hua Family with ? If the Hua Family finds appealing, then the benefactor who easily defeated surely is a key recruitnt target.”
“?” Lu Hong replied with a slight smile, “The Hua Family doesn’t qualify to recruit , and I’m rely traveling for leisure, not joining any family or force.”
Judging by Lu Hong’s tone, Gongshu Ban, not being foolish, imdiately realized Lu Hong must be a core disciple of so major family, and he chose not to pursue that topic further.
After chatting with Gongshu Ban for a while, Lu Hong left.
Not much ti had passed when Gongshu Ban’s door was knocked again.
“Is Brother Gongshu in?”
“The door’s unlocked, co in,” Gongshu Ban called out.
Soon, Hua Xiong, accompanied by two skilled mbers of the military, entered Gongshu Ban’s room.
Seeing Gongshu Ban still lying in bed, Hua Xiong was not surprised. After all, the elite nurtured by the Hua Family had struck hard, causing Gongshu Ban to vomit blood during the battle. The fact that he’s recovering in bed with a good complexion is quite fortunate.
Noticing the trio, Gongshu Ban couldn’t help but admire Lu Hong’s accurate prediction. He then asked, “You three, I can’t move well due to my condition, and couldn’t open the door, please forgive .”
“Haha, what are you saying, Brother Gongshu. Your performance on the arena was clear to us. Although you lost, I believe a talented person like you shouldn’t be wasted in the ordinary worlds. Brother Gongshu, I hail from the military and have no knack for roundabout words, so let be straightforward. Would Brother Gongshu be willing to join my Hua Xiong faction, enlist in the military, and beco my right arm?”
“Military?” Gongshu Ban asked with so surprise, “Isn’t it joining the Hua Family as an external disciple?”
Addressing Gongshu Ban’s query, Hua Xiong explained, “Indeed, this martial arts tournant aims to select external disciples for the Hua Family. But the Hua Family prospers in various fields, also making considerable achievents within the Nine Realms Dynasty. Therefore, I specifically represent the Hua Family’s military, extending a recruitnt offer to Brother Gongshu. If you accept, you’ll beco a mber of the Hua Family’s military, which is not the sa identity as the external disciples. Moreover, I can responsibly tell you, Brother Gongshu—the military identity stands far above that of external disciples.”
