The Overseer's eyes swept across the group of children, hesitating slightly on Xu Min as he saw the bruise on his chest. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to move on to alternately observe every child on the field.

After showing the proper stance, Overseer Tian started walking around, constantly correcting one student after another. His eyes were firm and filled with tenderness while dealing with some kids, but scornful when dealing with others.

Looking around, the eyes of Overseer Tian turned kind as soon as they landed on Xu Min. Although the boy's body was filled with bruises, he worked harder than anyone. Sweat was gushing down his body because he was holding the exact pose that Overseer Tian had taught them earlier.

All the children were working hard, but many of them were on the verge of collapsing; their faces were twisted in pain from enduring in the same position for a long period of time, and sweat trickled down in streams from their bodies.

Seeing this, Overseer Tian suddenly stopped and shouted loudly. His voice rang through the fields as every child listening to his voice was filled with amazement, completely forgetting the pain they were in from holding the position.

"Listen, you youngsters! You are not just training to become guards, you are training to become Warriors! You are training to become cultivators! Look at the young master and Xu Min, both of them are already Student Warriors! They are soon going to step into the world of cultivators! They are both going to become real Warriors!"

A smile adorned Overseer Tian's face as he saw how everyone around him focused on himself and the two youngsters. The many black eyes were filled with astonishment as they looked from the young master to Xu Min, and from Xu Min back onto Overseer Tian. Smiling like this, the overseer continued with his speech.

"Becoming a Student Warrior is the first true step to become a real cultivator! After the Student Warriors come the ranks of the real Warriors! To become a real Warrior, you need to work hard!"

"The Warriors are divided into nine stars: the first three stars are for the early stage warriors, then we have the next three stars for the middle stage warriors, and when you all manage to get through these stars, you will finally be capable of becoming an advanced stage warrior, much like the Zhong family leader!"

"Train hard and become Student Warriors! When you are a Student Warrior, you need to train even more to become a real Warrior, and as a real Warrior, you will bring fame and wealth to your families!"

After hearing these motivating words, every boy in the field was filled with veneration. The two young boys were both eight years old, both of them were only children, but at the same time, both of them were working hard to become Warriors, even though neither of them was close to that goal.

Seeing the two young boys working hard, looks of determination filled the eyes of all other children, and they gritted their teeth as they attempted to persevere, an act that caused Overseer Tian to smile with satisfaction.

While the young master was taken in by being in the spotlight in front of all his peers, Xu Min paid no attention to anything that was being said, focusing solely on training instead. Overseer Tian was astonished when he looked at Xu Min's impassiveness and concentration.

The entire air around the boy was filled with golden specks of light, and his entire focus was given to training; nothing else seemed to matter to the young boy. This was what true talent and hard work looked like.

Watching this young boy for some time, Overseer Tian hoped that he would be capable of reaching the rank of a one star Warrior by the time he was twenty years old. Although twelve years seemed to be quite a long time, it was not that long for cultivators.

A Student Warrior was one who had managed to successfully refine the essence of the heavens and the earth, however, it was not enough to truly become a Warrior. To be a Warrior of the first star, one needed to refine a decent amount of Qi, which was why it usually took about twenty years of training to reach the rank of a first star Warrior.

Because the path to becoming a Warrior was quite difficult and strenuous, Warriors were venerated throughout the land. Even one star Warriors were far above the commoners who did not cultivate. The moment one reached the first star Warrior rank, one would have an average lifespan of three hundred years, and as one reached the second star, another hundred years were added, and so on. This would continue in a pattern of adding a hundred years of longevity until the ninth star Warrior. Upon reaching that rank, one became unable to die from old age, and they were often referred to as immortals.

Sighing, Overseer Tian stopped thinking about when Xu Min would reach the Warrior rank, and looked at the many children who were currently training instead. Although his speech had made them more motivated and determined, many of the students were unable to keep maintaining their stances and gave up one after another. In contrast, Xu Min continued training the exact pose with his eyes full of determination. Only after most of the children gave up did Xu Min finally give in too, and allowed his tired body to collapse on the ground.

Looking around, only a few boys who were around three to four years older than him were still standing strong, their teeth gritted with determination since they were dead set on being the last man standing.

Glancing behind him, Xu Min saw how the young master and his friends were looking at him with eyes filled with hate and anger. The young master swept his hand in a cutting-like fashion across his throat as his eyes locked on to Xu Min, telling him that the young boy was in for a world of pain afterwards.
