Formally joining the Blood Cloak Guard did not mean that Wang Chen could immediately don the flying fish suit and carry the Goose-quill Saber to pursue the rebel fiends.
He still needed to undergo three months of training, and only after passing the assessment would he qualify to undertake missions.
On the fifth day after arriving in Jiangyuan City, Wang Chen went to report to the Iron Furnace Camp outside the city.
The Iron Furnace Camp was ten miles from Jiangyuan City, a large military camp built beside a mountain and near water, equipped with fortresses, barracks, martial arts fields, lookout towers, beacon towers, among other structures.
Here, Wang Chen, along with eighty-nine other apprentice members of the Blood Cloak Guard, began their arduous training.
The identity of the Blood Cloak Guard was special, possessing much authority; even the apprentice members ranked one tier above the lowest-level officials, making it exceedingly difficult to enter their ranks.
