Liu Guanfeng opened the wine jar and poured a full cup for himself and Black Eagle. He raised his wine bowl and said, "General Black Eagle, this bowl of wine is my apology to you."
Black Eagle looked at Liu Guanfeng and lifted his own wine bowl. "I accept your apology, but if you're trying to persuade me to surrender, you can save your breath." With that, Black Eagle tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp.
Liu Guanfeng understood well what a powerful Divine Knight valued most. In this world, what fascinated martial artists the most was martial arts techniques, and the Chinese Martial Arts that Liu Guanfeng and his companions practiced were undoubtedly the most attractive. Therefore, Liu Guanfeng was not in a hurry to persuade Black Eagle.
He poured more wine for both himself and Black Eagle, smiling slightly. "General Black Eagle, what you said is unnecessary. I came here just to hear about your past with Your Majesty, the Harsh Winter. I believe you've missed him these days."
Black Eagle sighed deeply, looking up at the sky for a long while before regaining his composure. "President Liu, to be honest with you, when I met Severe Winter, I had just broken through to Advanced Knight. At that time, he was already at the peak of Advanced Knight. He saw potential in me as a martial artist and took me under his wing, personally guiding my training along with Bai Yu.
As a result, our strengths advanced rapidly. Five years later, Severe Winter became a powerful Divine Knight while both Bai Yu and I had reached the intermediate level of Advanced Knight. During that time, he spent ten years solidifying his cultivation while also elevating our strengths to Peak Senior Knight.
It was then that Severe Winter's personality changed; he became obsessed with power. Not only did he organize people to overthrow the original king, but he also sought to expand his territory by including Said Island in his domain. He may have been cruel to the common people, but he treated Bai Yu and me very well.
Under his personal guidance, both Bai Yu and I eventually became powerful Divine Knights. From that point on, we became Severe Winter's personal guards."
Liu Guanfeng listened attentively, nodding frequently. "Black Eagle, as far as I know, Severe Winter treated you quite well. Those heinous acts were all assigned to Bai Yu while your task was simply to stay by Severe Winter's side."
Black Eagle nodded while shedding tears. "That's because I opposed many of Severe Winter's actions and often voiced my opinions against him. He feared that I might mess up any tasks assigned to me, so he always sent Bai Yu instead."
"That's precisely why Leader Zhang wants to recruit you; he sees that you have a kind heart."
Black Eagle shook his head. "I understand that the New World aims to overthrow Severe Winter's rule, but after all, Severe Winter has shown me kindness. I will not take an official position in the New World; President Liu, there's no need for you to persuade me further."
Liu Guanfeng smiled wryly and shook his head, thinking to himself: I originally wanted to slowly evoke Black Eagle's nostalgic feelings to persuade him, but unexpectedly before I could even speak it out loud, he blocked me off.
After Liu Guanfeng filled Black Eagle's wine bowl again and took a sip, he needed to think of another way. Since he couldn't let Black Eagle become an official, settling for something else would have to do.
So Liu Guanfeng changed his approach: "Black Eagle, you should be a Junior Divine Knight now, right?"
Black Eagle nodded in agreement: "Then let me ask you, if one day Cui Zhongyi becomes a Divine Knight, do you think you could defeat him?"
"Are you talking about that Advanced Knight I fought two against one that day?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded: "What do you think of that person's skills?"
Black Eagle did not deny it: "That kid named Cui Zhongyi is quite skilled. When I went down to fight him, it was under the orders of Severe Winter. If that kid really becomes a Divine Knight, in an equal situation, I would definitely lose, and I wouldn't have any chance of winning."
"Then do you want to learn such martial arts?"
Black Eagle looked at Liu Guanfeng warily: "I've already said it before, I will not surrender to the New World. If you're trying to persuade me with martial arts manuals, then don't waste your breath."
"Black Eagle General, you're being too cautious. I don't think I've ever said anything about you surrendering to the New World since I walked in. Since you don't want that, I won't waste my saliva on it anymore. However, I will have Zhang Leader spare you, but I hope you can agree to one thing."
"As long as it's not about surrendering to the New World, go ahead and say your other conditions."
"Although Black Eagle General, you don't want to surrender to the New World, you're still a member of Luo Heng Island, right?" Black Eagle nodded in acknowledgment.
"Since that's the case, if there is danger on Luo Heng Island, can you stand up and protect the safety of the entire island when it matters?"
"That is an obligation."
Liu Guanfeng nodded: "That's exactly what I wanted to hear. So what are your plans for the future?"
"I don't know either, let's take it one step at a time."
"Have you ever thought about taking on disciples?"
"Disciples? I haven't considered that yet."
"Then what about your plans? Right now, on the entire Luo Heng Island, you and Zhang Leader are the only two experts among the Divine Knights. You should contribute to the strength of Luo Heng Island."
"What does Liu President think I, Black Eagle, should do in the future?"
"If General Black Eagle is willing to listen to Liu, then I hope General Black Eagle can establish a sect and cultivate more talents for Luo Heng Island to resist external enemies."
"My martial arts are limited, how can I take on disciples? All I have are the cultivation insights that Your Majesty, the Harsh Winter, gave me back then."
"General Black Eagle, as long as you are willing, these are not problems."
"Liu President, do you mean..."
Liu Guanfeng chuckled: "This book is a basic Water Type Mind Method. Take a look and see if it helps you." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng handed a book to Black Eagle. Black Eagle carefully took the book and saw that the cover was titled "Water Cloud Technique." He cautiously flipped through the Water Cloud Technique in his hands and began practicing it continuously.
In Liu Guanfeng's eyes, this Water Cloud Technique was nothing special; he had even better Mind Methods in his possession but chose not to reveal them.
Seeing Black Eagle's focused expression, Liu Guanfeng couldn't help but smile as he poured himself a drink while watching Black Eagle. After about half an hour, Black Eagle finally put down the book. When he saw Liu Guanfeng, he looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Liu President. I got too absorbed in reading just now."
"That's alright, General Black Eagle. I noticed that the weapon you used before was created by yourself?"
Black Eagle nodded: "When I was training in martial arts, I felt that swords were too short and knives couldn't stab like a broadsword could. So I thought of using an extended sword handle."
"General Black Eagle, I have a set of techniques for the Three-Pointed, Two-Edged Blade. I wonder if you would like it." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng tossed a book to Black Eagle. Black Eagle picked up the book, which was titled "Mountain Blade Technique." After throwing this bombshell, Liu Guanfeng knew that Black Eagle would be engrossed in the book for a while, so he sent Little Black to inform Cui Zhongyi that he would be staying at Black Eagle's place tonight.
Liu Guanfeng also wanted to get closer to Black Eagle because after he left, the safety of Luo Heng Island would still rely on Black Eagle's help.
Black Eagle was deeply absorbed in the book, as the technique was exceptionally suitable for him; it was as if it had been tailor-made. Liu Guanfeng only had this one book on the Three-Pointed, Two-Edged Blade since few people used such a weapon, but at least he still had this one.
Black Eagle remained engrossed in the book until it was time to light the lamps. He looked up and saw Liu Guanfeng still smiling at him. Feeling embarrassed, Black Eagle placed both books back in front of Liu Guanfeng.
"What? Are you not satisfied with these two books?"
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied; it's that I like them too much," Black Eagle admitted honestly.
"Then why are you returning them to me?" Liu Guanfeng asked, puzzled.
"These two books are too precious; I feel unworthy of receiving them."
"General Black Eagle, didn't I say that the purpose of letting you see these two books is so you can learn well and continue to protect the safety of Luo Heng Island? As long as you can ensure that you will act when Luo Heng Island is in trouble, then you don't need to worry about anything by keeping these two books. Moreover, with these two books, you will be able to teach your disciples better. Once they become capable, they can serve the new world. Isn't that better? This way, you won't go against your conscience while also contributing to the new world and helping the people."
After thinking for a moment, Black Eagle solemnly took the two books back: "Since that's the case, I, Black Eagle, will accept them. Here and now, I swear to heaven that as long as I live one day longer, Luo Heng Island will always be my home. I will give everything for the peace of my home, including my life. If I go against this oath, may heaven punish me."
Liu Guanfeng did not stop Black Eagle from swearing because he understood how much oaths were valued by everyone on the Knight Continent and those forgotten by the Supreme Deity. Only by having him swear could Liu Guanfeng feel at ease returning home.
After seeing Black Eagle's oath, Liu Guanfeng took out some basic Mind Methods and martial arts manuals. When he set out to sea initially, the Four Sacred Beasts hoped that through Liu Guanfeng, they could systematize martial arts across the continent. Therefore, they prepared a large number of Mind Methods and martial arts manuals for him and classified them based on quality. What he presented to Black Eagle today were all fundamental materials; however, each of these books could be considered priceless outside.
Liu Guanfeng took out four Mind Methods: "Flame Technique," "Wood Leaf Technique," "Golden Sand Technique," and "Land Decision." In addition to these four Mind Methods, there were also several manuals on boxing techniques and weapons. When Liu Guanfeng revealed these books, Black Eagle was astonished.
Black Eagle couldn't understand why this young man possessed so many manuals and why these were things he had never seen before.
"Liu President, what is this..."
"Black Eagle General, didn't I just tell you? I hope you can take on disciples and establish your own sect. Since you are forming a gang, it’s unlikely you would lack martial arts Mind Methods and secret manuals. These four books are Mind Method manuals, and the one in your hand corresponds perfectly to the five elements. This basic manual includes techniques for both fist fighting and weaponry, covering knives, swords, axes, staffs, and more. I hope they will be helpful to you."
Black Eagle looked at Liu Guanfeng: "Aren't you afraid that I will use what you've given me to train a group of my own people and then overthrow the new world's rule?"
"If you could do such a thing, you wouldn't be Black Eagle anymore," Liu Guanfeng replied decisively.
At this moment, Black Eagle could no longer sit still. He stood up and deeply bowed to Liu Guanfeng: "Liu President, your trust in me is overwhelming. If I, Black Eagle, were to betray again, I wouldn't even be worthy of being called a human. I assure you here that the sect we establish will be the strongest guardian of the new world."
Liu Guanfeng got up and helped Black Eagle to his feet. He then said to Black Eagle: "Black General, take a look at the Three-Pointed, Two-Edged Blade technique first. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to come find me. It will be a few days before Big Leader ascends to the throne; I'll be staying here with you during this time. Tomorrow I'll have them bring your Mount over."
After speaking, Liu Guanfeng found a small room for himself to stay in. He also sought out Elder Yu: "Elder Yu, just leave this to me; you should go back and rest. Just leave a few servants behind."
With Liu Guanfeng here, Elder Yu was naturally very reassured and bid farewell. Before leaving, Liu Guanfeng told Elder Yu to inform Zhang Diba that they would return Black Eagle's Mount tomorrow.
Liu Guanfeng rested in his room while Black Eagle hardly slept at all that night. Several times he lay in bed but couldn’t fall asleep; instead, he got up to continue studying the sword techniques.
Early the next morning, someone brought back Black Eagle's Tsunami Master. Seeing his old partner made Black Eagle exceptionally happy; however, when Tsunami Master saw Liu Guanfeng, he wore a wary expression and kept baring his teeth at Liu Guanfeng.
