Due to the addition of twelve more youths, the atmosphere in the Four Sacred Valleys became even more harmonious, filled with laughter and joy. At this time, Li Xiaohan and Wang Jiao, the two girls, were learning to cook and sew from the women rescued from Black Wolf Mountain. They knew that they were the only two girls in the Four Sacred Islands, and they had to learn these skills to ensure the quality of practice for the other youths.
Not only did they learn how to cook and wash clothes, but they also gained the favor of the Vermilion Bird, who immediately took them as disciples. The Vermilion Bird not only opened their meridians and taught them the Mind Method but also purified their bodies, allowing both girls to catch up with Iron Bull's strength that very day, which left Iron Bull feeling quite frustrated for a while.
The Vermilion Bird aimed to teach the two girls not only the Mind Method and martial arts but also her alchemical skills. This made Liu Guanfeng very happy; if they were to seek revenge in the future, they couldn't possibly bring along the Vermilion Bird Master. However, with Li Xiaohan and Wang Jiao around, things would be completely different. Having two capable companions gave everyone a sense of security.
Song Haitao ultimately became a disciple of the Azure Dragon, while Du Zhenyang became the third disciple of the White Tiger. They all started training from the basics, striving to catch up with Bao Rui and others. Song Haitao and Du Zhenyang were very dedicated; their diligence was on par with that of Liu Guanfeng's eight personal guards. Every day, they focused solely on practice without engaging in anything else.
With careful guidance from Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird, Platinum Wen stood up again after a week, which brought him to tears because he realized that his chance for revenge was finally at hand. Thanks to Azure Dragon's efforts, Platinum Wen opened his meridians and began practicing martial arts. Liu Guanfeng gradually imparted some modern mathematical knowledge to Platinum Wen since Liu Guanfeng had already planned for Platinum Wen to be the first commander of his business empire.
Platinum Wen practiced martial arts in the morning and studied mathematics with Liu Guanfeng in the afternoon. He was very interested in the basic mathematical concepts taught by Liu Guanfeng. Fortunately, Liu Guanfeng had been a teacher before; although he didn't teach mathematics, he still had considerable insight into teaching.
Two weeks quickly passed. According to Liu Guanfeng's requirements, they were going to live on Desolate Island with their soldiers for two years. During these two weeks, Platinum Wen's task was to follow Liu Yongmin around to purchase supplies for the private soldiers on the island.
On the morning of their departure, Liu Guanfeng and others stood on a large ship waiting for a group of mysterious guests. Bao Rui and others asked Liu Guanfeng if anyone else was going to Desolate Island besides them.
Liu Guanfeng simply smiled without answering, saying, "You will know when the time comes."
Around 7:30 AM, there was a violent rustling in the bushes. When Bao Rui, Copper Bull, and others saw clearly, they found themselves surrounded by a group of Yinming Ghost Leopards. At that moment, a Ghost Leopard slowly stepped out of the pack and bowed towards Azure Dragon. This Ghost Leopard was none other than the leader of Ghost Leopards on Four Sacred Mountains—the Ghost Leopard King.
Azure Dragon nodded and asked, "Are all your people here?"
The Ghost Leopard nodded in affirmation.
Liu Guanfeng counted; there were fifty Ghost Leopards plus the Ghost Leopard King—fifty-one in total. After introductions from the leader, Liu Guanfeng learned that behind Ghost Leopard King stood ten Ghost Leopards who were guards of Ghost Panther King at Seventh Tier peak level; all behind them were Sixth Tier peak Ghost Leopards. Suddenly, a shadow dashed out from among the leopards towards them.
Liu Guanfeng was taken aback and was about to act to protect when he realized that the leader had already disappeared from behind him. The leader's target was precisely that incoming shadow. When both shadows collided, Liu Guanfeng saw that the one who pounced was also a black Ghost Leopard; however, this one was much smaller—clearly a cub. When Liu Guanfeng looked at Ghost Leopard King again, he noticed that there was no punishment in its eyes but rather endless affection. At this moment, Liu Guanfeng began to understand some things.
After a while, Dai carried the little Ghost Leopard and walked towards Liu Guanfeng. "Third Brother, this is my close friend. His name is Ghost Child, and he is the child of the Ghost Panther King."
Liu Guanfeng smiled at Ghost Child and reached out to pet him, but Ghost Child suddenly snapped at Liu Guanfeng, causing him to quickly retract his hand. At that moment, the Ghost Leopard King, standing at a distance, let out a roar towards Ghost Child. The little Ghost Child shrank its head into Dai's embrace, looking aggrievedly at Liu Guanfeng.
Dai gently stroked Ghost Child and said, "Little Ghost Child, you need to understand that this person is my master. I must listen to him, so you must also behave, understand?"
Ghost Child nodded in response to Dai and then stretched its head back out. Liu Guanfeng, still not accustomed to the resistance of such a small creature, reached out his hand again. This time, instead of biting him, little Ghost Child licked his hand. Liu Guanfeng also patted Ghost Child on the head.
Liu Guanfeng then looked up at the Azure Dragon beside him. "Master, can we leave now?"
The Azure Dragon nodded and said to the nearby Ghost Leopard King, "Bring your people onto the ship."
After saying that, he turned and boarded the large ship. Liu Guanfeng and the others followed behind him onto the ship. Once everyone was aboard, under the command of the Ghost Leopard King, all the Ghost Leopards also boarded the large ship.
Just like their first voyage, with the efforts of the Giant Claw Crab and Sea Serpent, they smoothly arrived at Desolate Island. At that time, all the soldiers on Desolate Island were diligently practicing their respective training programs, from physical fitness to combat routines.
Moreover, before arriving, Liu Guanfeng had already discussed with Copper Bull, Bao Rui, Iron Bull, Song Haitao, and Du Zhenyang that each person must formulate their own training plan. This plan could include techniques taught by the Four Sacred Beasts; however, the ultimate goal was solely to rapidly enhance the combat effectiveness of their subordinates.
Thus, the arrangement of personnel in these five teams was very reasonable. The team led by Copper Bull was the largest and strongest in terms of size and power, while Bao Rui and Du Zhenyang led relatively smaller teams. Liu Guanfeng's objective for these soldiers was clear: they were to become his long-range attack squad. Therefore, he required Bao Rui and Du Zhenyang to train their teams into skilled archers.
Additionally, Liu Guanfeng collaborated with Xuanwu to develop specialized weapons for them—each person would have a set of Sleeve Arrows along with eighteen throwing knives. The only difference was that each archer under Bao Rui would be equipped with a longsword while Du Zhenyang's soldiers would carry short knives.
This was also based on the martial arts routines learned from the Four Sacred Beasts. Liu Guanfeng required them to select three techniques from what they had learned to teach their subordinates.
As a result, each of the five teams organized by Liu Guanfeng had its own characteristics: Copper Bull's team was named the Giant Hammer Corps, primarily tasked with destroying walls and gates; Iron Bull's team was called the Golden Hammer Squad, focusing on close-quarters combat; Song Haitao's team was known as the Battle Axe Corps, responsible for group charges to break enemy formations; Du Zhenyang's team was named the Longbow Corps, tasked with suppressing enemy firepower from a distance; Liu Guanfeng created bows for them that were longer than standard ones for greater range and assigned them missions on how to perform long-range shots; Bao Rui's team was called the Short Bow Squad, responsible for precise kills at close range.
Meanwhile, Liu Guanfeng's Reinforced Battalion became his personal guard unit under his direct training.
The Ghost Leopards present today were those Liu Guanfeng had arranged when he returned to the Four Sacred Valleys. Once he had his private soldiers, Liu Guanfeng's first thought was to establish a true assassination team because there were no assassins in Knight’s World; all assassins could be considered temporary workers and were mostly amateurs—many acted like bandits from Black Wolf Mountain who simply killed and looted.
Liu Guanfeng understood well how crucial an assassin could be for a leader; assassins could not only take lives directly but also instill fear in opponents. More importantly, sometimes assassins could obtain information that many others could not access.
When Liu Guanfeng and his team returned to Desolate Island, they specifically brought along the Ghost Leopard King and his subordinates to handle the selection and initial training of the assassins.
As Liu Guanfeng gathered all his private soldiers at the training ground, everyone was filled with excitement. After all, since their arrival on Desolate Island, aside from the more rigorous training, the cultural and recreational activities, as well as the food, had improved significantly.
To keep the soldiers from getting bored on the island, Liu Guanfeng introduced them to modern activities like soccer, poker, and chess. The soldiers gradually grew fond of these games, especially soccer. After dinner, many soldiers would gather to enjoy themselves. They played with great enthusiasm, and sometimes the Minor Generals would curiously ask Liu Guanfeng if they would forget about training if they kept playing like this.
Liu Guanfeng shook his head. "Soccer is a great form of exercise. It trains both reaction and strength. Just look at how intense their matches are; sometimes they are more effective during soccer than in training."
All the soldiers were eagerly anticipating Liu Guanfeng's arrival. After a while, he walked onto the Command Platform with Bao Rui and others. Looking down at the excited faces below, Liu Guanfeng felt like a star.
"Brothers, you have worked hard," Liu Guanfeng said, unable to suppress a smile. This statement felt overly sentimental and cliché, yet the soldiers below did not mind.
"I am here today to live and train with you all. Furthermore, I will be reorganizing a new team here. You will gradually learn about its purpose and name. For now, let's invite the Chief Instructor of this team up." As soon as he finished speaking, a person and a beast walked up from the podium— the person was Dai and the beast was the Ghost Leopard King.
When everyone saw this duo, they assumed it was a knight accompanied by his mount, but the next statement left all the soldiers in shock.
Liu Guanfeng pointed at Dai and said, "This is Dai; he will be the highest commander of this team. Standing beside him is the Phantom Leopard King from Four Sacred Mountains, who will serve as the Chief Instructor of this special team."
The soldiers were astonished to learn that such a unique team's Chief Instructor was actually a magical beast—specifically, a Ghost Panther King. At that moment, all the soldiers looked up to Liu Guanfeng with admiration; this general was incredible! Not only could he fight but he could also command magical beasts to serve him. Following him was undoubtedly a wise choice. Many began to secretly feel grateful for their initial decision.
"Only those selected by the Ghost Leopard King can join this team, which will be named—Ghost Leopard Special Forces. We will now begin the selection process; all instructions must be followed according to Ghost Leopard King's arrangements." After Liu Guanfeng finished speaking, he left the center of the Command Platform for Ghost Leopard King and Dai. The private soldiers clenched their fists in preparation for this challenge.
