Shui Wuyin’s Persistence

Based solely on Wu Ying's capabilities and skills, putting aside the possibility of producing an abundance of talents, it would not be an issue at all for him to foster prodigies fit to rule half the land of the Empire of Yutang if he were to open a class and take in students. The titles he had written and produced were evidence of that.

"How many do you need, in particular?" asked Leng Daoyin.

Wu Ying counted silently and answered, "I can select from a total of twenty people, but there can be no more than ten who can remain. Ultimately, I can only choose one successor each for the civil and military arms."

"Well, that doesn't sound like too many, does it?" Tie Zheng said.

Wu Ying rolled his eyes and scoffed.

The rest of the group understood what he had meant. This was a task of coaching the talents from scratch. Who could possibly know how much effort had to be put in; ten were already plenty, how could it be considered few?
