Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Early morning, outside the military camp.

When Zhou Ang arrived, Gong Sheng had been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings, General Zhou!" Gong Sheng jogged forward and saluted. He was a newly transferred instructor from the Imperial Guard outside the capital to the capital. His foundation was still shallow, so he dared not be negligent towards Zhou Ang, the highly decorated deputy chief instructor.

"Hmm!" Zhou Ang nodded slightly without stopping, "You will be sparring with Gao Zhao today. Are you ready?"

Gong Sheng lagged half a step behind him, smiling, "I have no problem with that, but I wonder how the general would like me to compete?"

Zhou Ang paused, turned his head to glance at him, and laughed, "You're being a bit too confident. Gao Zhao has been practicing hard these days, and Lin Chong has even found a weakness in your martial arts. You'd better be careful, or you might end up in a mess."

"Heh, I haven't been in the capital for long, but I have heard of Lin Chong's name. Everyone says that his marksmanship is unparalleled. I should spar with him sometime."

When Gong Sheng said this, his face was full of contempt.

They already looked down on these instructors who were just coasting along in the Imperial Guard. They had never even been on the battlefield, yet they claimed to be highly skilled in martial arts. Now, they even boasted that they could find the flaws in his marksmanship!

Ha, what a boastful statement!

Since ancient times, there has been no first place in literature, but there is no second place in martial arts. If Zhao Kuo hadn't stepped into the arena to compete, would he still have been considered an unparalleled general?

If Lin Chong were truly capable, why would he still only be a head instructor?

It's nothing more than him being senior and having a good relationship with the Grand Commandant...

As Gong Sheng pondered, his expression suddenly changed. In the capital, there were many powerful and influential people with complex relationships. For example, Gao Zhao, who wanted to fight him, could get Zhou Ang to personally come to him, which clearly meant that he had a powerful background!

So what did Zhou Ang mean by "capsizing in a ditch"?

Is this an implication that he is going to lose this game?

This won't do! It concerns the very foundation of his livelihood!

"General Zhou, what preparations have you instructed me to make? Please enlighten me!"

Seeing the troubled look on his face and noticing the change in how he addressed himself, Zhou Ang immediately guessed what he was thinking and shook his head, saying:

"Don't overthink it. I'm not trying to make you lose this match, I just want you to fight him a few more rounds and then narrowly win!"

Gong Sheng was taken aback at first, then understood, and cupped his hands, saying, "General, do you want him to see the results of his many days of hard training, so as to motivate him?"

Zhou Ang nodded and said, "As military instructors, when we instruct soldiers in martial arts, we must also pay attention to their personalities. Some people need constant suppression to make them feel ashamed and then strive harder, while others need constant encouragement to inspire them to forge ahead!"

"General, your insight is profound!" Gong Sheng quickly bowed and saluted, "This humble servant has learned a great deal!"

"Go and get ready!" Zhou Ang smiled slightly, waved his hand, and walked straight towards the training ground.

Upon approaching, the soldiers had not yet begun their morning exercises; only Gao Zhao was practicing his marksmanship in the rising sun.

Zhou Ang stood at a distance, watching with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Before Gao Zhao entered the military camp, it was clear from his physical condition that he had never practiced martial arts. However, in less than a month, he underwent a rapid transformation.

Take his marksmanship for example. He has only been practicing for a few days, but he has already reached the level of a beginner!

Although marksmanship is easy to learn, it's not that easy!

There is only one explanation for this: talent!

That's right, Gao Zhao is a martial arts prodigy!

Not only is she naturally gifted, but she also has the perseverance to overcome any hardship!

It's hard for someone like this not to succeed!

When Zhou Ang was ordered by Gao Qiu to train Gao Zhao, he was extremely unwilling!

Playing along with these privileged kids is a waste of your time, but if you really train them seriously, you'll offend people!

How could they possibly endure such hardship? If they went back and complained, they would inevitably be blamed.

So when he first started training Gao Zhao, he wanted to train him to the point where he couldn't take it anymore, so that Gao Zhao would go back and complain, and then end his unpopular job.

Surprisingly, Gao Zhao not only persevered but also made rapid progress!

As a coach, I feel an immense sense of accomplishment when I can train these soldiers!

He now regards Gao Zhao as his most outstanding disciple, which is why he sought out Gong Sheng to cooperate in this charade!

Over this period of time, he had already figured out Gao Zhao's temperament. This guy really needed encouragement, but you couldn't encourage him too much, otherwise he would get arrogant.

The best solution is to let Gong Sheng narrowly defeat him!

After pondering for a moment, Gao Zhao on the training ground had finished a set of marksmanship. He took a breath, faced the rising sun, and stood with his gun in hand!

Seeing this, Zhou Ang slowly stepped forward. When he got closer, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, and he said indifferently, "You don't practice your skills regularly, and you only cram at the last minute. Do you think you can beat Gong Sheng?"

Gao Zhao was very dissatisfied with his pre-battle ridicule, and thought to himself that when he mastered his divine skills, the first person he would beat would be this scoundrel!

"Even last-minute preparations can be effective, and now that I've done everything I can, it's up to fate! This is what they mean by 'Man proposes, God disposes'... Never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway, you brute!"

"Heh, not much skill, but plenty of nonsense!" Zhou Ang sneered. "Alright, since I have nothing better to do today, I'll officiate this competition for you!"

Gao Zhao glanced at him sideways, then raised his chin and said, "Lead the way!"

Zhou Ang didn't argue with him and led the way to another training ground for practicing marksmanship.

When the two arrived, hundreds of people had already gathered on the training ground.

Gao Zhao looked at the soldiers holding long spears and suddenly realized that they were the ones who had been watching when he knocked Gong Sheng unconscious last time!

It seems that Gong Sheng is going to get revenge on them this time!

How can someone be so petty and hold such a grudge!

Gao Zhao said he simply couldn't understand it!

When he arrived, everyone made way for him and gathered around him, their faces full of excitement!

Seeing that so many people had gathered here, soldiers from other battalions also came to watch.

Military camps are usually dull and monotonous; it's rare to see such liveliness!

Gao Zhao tightened his grip on the spear. Damn it, they want me to lose face in this kind of situation? I'm too thin-skinned to accept this!

Upon seeing him enter, Gong Sheng brandished his spear and declared loudly, "I didn't expect you to actually dare to come! You do have some guts. Let me see what you've accomplished in the past month!"

Gao Zhao realized that it was time to make some tough remarks, and he became very anxious. He was not good with words and had no idea how to make any tough remarks!

After struggling for a while, he finally managed to squeeze out, "A month? Wasn't that supposed to be for you to recover?"

An uproar erupted around them; this was a blatant slap in the face! Those who didn't know the reason began to ask questions, and the scene was filled with discussion.

Gong Sheng's face darkened, and he raised his gun, pointing it directly at Gao Zhao.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Zhou Ang glanced at Gong Sheng and then shouted, "Begin!"

Gong Sheng made the first move, his spear flashing like a dragon.

Gao Zhao swung his spear to block, while simultaneously looking at the "Berserk" skill!
