Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Gao Zhao has a strong inner drive and spares no effort in achieving his goal of one foot and two inches!

Now facing external threats, he is fighting even harder to save face!

People who climb up from the bottom naturally have a ruthless streak in their bones. The crazy level of Gao Zhao's training even frightened Zhou Ang!

Fully armored, wielding weapons, and running with heavy loads—this is the training method for the elite of the Imperial Guards!

Even elites can't train like that every day; their bodies can't take it!

But Gao Zhao persisted!

The scorching sun made the armor scalding hot, and being inside felt like being in a steamer. Let alone training, most people couldn't even stand still.

Gao Zhao, on the other hand, started running around the training ground. He wasn't fast, but he was very steady. Zhou Ang initially chased after him with a stick, but he soon realized there was no need to chase him anymore, because Gao Zhao had already reached his limit!

This disappointed Zhou Ang somewhat. He was training the soldiers, but they were so self-motivated that they didn't need his prompting at all, making him seem a bit superfluous...

At the same time, I felt gratified and secretly pleased, it seemed that my method of increasing pressure had worked!

This kid was scared by Gong Sheng. He felt ashamed and that's almost courageous. Not bad, not bad. He's a good prospect!

However, his smile quickly vanished. During a jumping exercise, Gao Zhao ran out of energy and crashed headfirst into a low wall, instantly losing consciousness!

Zhou Ang was terrified and rushed over to check. As soon as he took off his armor, sweat poured out of his body like a spring!

His whole body was red and burning hot; he was clearly suffering from heatstroke!

He hurriedly pinched his philtrum and called for the army doctor to come and treat him, feeling extremely distressed!

This is no ordinary soldier; this is Gao Qiu's son. If Gao Qiu finds out that I have ruined his son, the consequences will be unimaginable!

The military doctor arrived quickly, fanning the air and administering medicine. Zhou Ang was extremely anxious, cursing himself for his recklessness and the disaster he had caused!

However, the military doctor had obviously dealt with many similar situations before. After a flurry of activity, Gao Zhao slowly woke up!

"Ouch, where are my clothes? Old man, what are you trying to do!" Gao Zhao woke up feeling a chill on his body. Looking down, he saw that his clothes had been taken off!

Then he noticed a sleazy-looking old man beside him, and he was immediately terrified and furious, cursing loudly.

Zhou Ang had been watching this situation closely. Seeing that he had woken up, he hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Young Master, this is a military doctor. You suffered from heatstroke, and I asked him to treat you!"

Gao Zhao turned his head again and saw the old man smile slightly, looking even more lewd.

Gao Zhao quickly pulled up his clothes, feeling that his body was indeed a bit weak. Just as he was about to add some points to refresh his physique and continue training, he noticed that Zhou Ang looked quite nervous. He was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.

"Ouch, I can't take it anymore, I feel so awful!" Gao Zhao immediately abandoned his plan to increase his skill points and weakly wailed, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

Zhou Ang became even more anxious, grabbing the old military doctor and shaking him urgently, "You must save him!"

The old military doctor stroked his beard and smiled, "Instructor Zhou, don't panic. This young master was running around in the scorching sun when he suddenly suffered from heatstroke and collapsed. Now that he's awake, he's fine. After drinking a few doses of herbal medicine and resting for a few days, he'll be fully recovered!"

Gao Zhao glared fiercely at the military doctor, thinking to himself, "When I finally have power, the first person I'll deal with is you!"

Seeing Zhou Ang's expression relax, he wailed again, "Quickly go and call my father, I want to tell him my last words..."

Zhou Ang's expression changed again. He suddenly realized that even if this young master was not in mortal danger, Gao Qiu would certainly not be happy if he made him suffer from heatstroke and fall into a coma!

If he thinks I have a problem with him and is deliberately trying to punish his son, then that would be troublesome!

"Hurry up! I need to see my father now!" Gao Zhao urged again.

Zhou Ang looked conflicted, struggling with his inner turmoil. He naturally didn't want Gao Qiu to know about this, lest there be a misunderstanding. But now that things had come to this, even if he kept it a secret, Gao Qiu would find out anyway!

But knowing it then and knowing it now are completely different things!

The situation will only get worse!

After much hesitation, he finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to invite Gao Qiu over. But he hadn't gone far when he saw Gao Qiu walking towards him!

Zhou Ang was startled and realized something was wrong; someone must have tipped him off!

Seeing Gao Qiu's sullen face, he dared not say anything and simply followed behind silently.

"My lord!" Gao Zhao was surprised by Zhou Ang's speed. Upon seeing Gao Qiu arrive, he quickly refreshed his physique, stood up, and bowed.

Gao Qiu frowned upon seeing his disheveled appearance and asked in a deep voice, "What happened to you?"

Gao Zhao glanced at Zhou Ang, noticing his anxious expression, and chuckled inwardly, but outwardly remained calm as he patted his chest and said, "I have made some progress in my training, and I have specially invited you, sir, to come and give me your guidance!"

Gao Qiu glanced at him and said indifferently, "We'll talk about this later. I need to speak with you. Come with me!"

Gao Zhao was taken aback; this was not what he had expected!

It seems we'll have to find a different solution!

Seeing Gao Qiu leave first, he hurriedly went to Zhou Ang's side and whispered, "Old Zhou, I misunderstood something just now. If my master finds out I fainted on the training ground, I'm afraid he'll be angry with you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ang was shocked and looked at Gao Zhao in disbelief.

"Hurry up!" Gao Qiu shouted as he turned around when he saw that Gao Zhao hadn't followed.

"Coming!" Gao Zhao quickly replied, then hurriedly said to Zhou Ang, "You and I should keep this a secret, lest someone try to harm you!"

After saying this, Gao Zhao staggered and chased after Gao Qiu.

Zhou Ang stared blankly at his back, never expecting that this young master who always scolded him would be so righteous at the crucial moment!

I thought I would be punished by Gao Qiu and that the crisis would even affect my future, but it was resolved just like that!

Seeing Gao Zhao struggling to run despite his heatstroke and weakness so as not to arouse Gao Qiu's suspicion, Zhou Ang was deeply moved and almost shed tears.

......

[Gratitude points from Zhou Ang +1]

You have gained the skill Berserk!

Gao Zhao watched the pop-up window flash by, feeling extremely excited. Good people really do get good rewards!

We should always be kind!

But what kind of skill is this Berserk? Why is it different from the one Lin Chong and the others dropped?

Gao Zhao tapped the screen, and a line of text popped up under the skill description: "Forcefully activates Qi and Blood, temporarily boosting all attributes!"

This explanation is way too simplistic!

He seems to have a bit of a berserker vibe!

Sorry, I'm a brain-eater, this isn't really for me!

However, this skill would probably be quite effective if used to ambush someone!

As he walked and pondered, he unknowingly arrived at Gao Qiu's camp.

Gao Qiu suddenly spoke up: "The dispute over righteousness and profit within the Biyong Hall has already alarmed Grand Tutor Cai!"

"Ah!" Gao Zhao exclaimed in surprise, not expecting things to have really gotten so serious!
