Chapter 162 True Strength
Unable to wait for Qin Ruo's response, Jiang Wu slowly lowered his head. Asan stood beside him, not daring to breathe.
"From today on, Asang will be the leader of the current team of Jiuyoumen, and you, Jiang Wu, will be responsible for assisting Asang in the future." Qin Ruo retracted her gaze and announced the new decision lightly.
"Thank you, master. Asang will definitely live up to your expectations." A hint of unexpected joy flashed across Asang's face. He took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Qin Ruo.
Qin Ruo's words sounded like a thunderclap in the sky to Jiang Wu.
He looked incredulous and his face gradually turned pale.
It was obvious that his performance was much better than Asan's. Ever since he entered Jiuyou Hall, Brother Song had always been optimistic about him and even made him the team leader.
He was clearly better than Asan in martial arts, and he didn't understand why his master made such an arrangement.
Jiang Wu gritted his teeth tightly, and the blue veins on his forehead revealed his forbearance.
He remembered the first rule of Jiuyoumen: subordinates can never question the decision of their masters.
Qin Ruo seemed not to have seen Jiang Wu. She smiled and said a few words of encouragement to Asan, then let her leave first.
"Jiang Wu, are you feeling very dissatisfied?" Qin Ruo put down the teacup in her hand, with an unclear expression on her face.
"I dare not!" Jiang Wu's voice was hoarse, but his eyes turned red quietly.
When he became a beggar and his life was hopeless, it was Qin Ruo who pulled him out of the quagmire.
After joining the Jiuyou Sect, he practiced hard day and night, striving for attention everywhere, just to climb up.
Because he carried a blood feud, he only thought that one day he could kill his enemy and avenge his loved ones.
He longed for the recognition of Song Shiqi and Qin Ruo and tried his best to show himself, but the result was contrary to his expectations.
Qin Ruo quietly looked at the young man in front of her, whose face was full of stubbornness, and couldn't help but think of the things in her previous life.
Isn't Jiang Wu now the same as he was when he was just starting out?
Jiang Wu can indeed be considered a good candidate, and he even has some basic skills in martial arts, which gives him an advantage over others.
Qin Ruo had known about Jiang Wu when they first met at the mansion. Judging by his personal performance, Jiang Wu was quite outstanding.
But what Jiang Wu showed today was not what she wanted.
Although it was a team competition, he was more concerned about how to win and did not consider the cooperation with his teammates at all.
This kind of personality might give him an advantage when fighting alone, but it is extremely unsuitable in an organization like Jiuyoumen.
Qin Ruo could see the ambition in Jiang Wu's eyes, but what she needed was not the courage of a single individual, but a tacit team spirit.
This group of people were brought here by Hu Zi and Qing Sheng, and their life stories are a bloody story.
On the other hand, Asan is not as strong as Jiang Wu.
Even the strength of her team members is weaker than that of Jiang Wu's team.
However, during the competition, under her leadership, the members of her team cooperated well and finally won by a narrow margin.
What does this mean? In terms of teamwork, Asan is obviously more suitable to lead the team than Jiang Wu.
"Jiang Wu, you are very smart and a rare talent. I hope you can protect yourself when fighting alone. I also hope that from today on, you will have the awareness of advancing and retreating together with your fellow disciples."
"Once you encounter a real enemy in the future, your personal bravery will only put your companions in danger, or even cost them their lives. A true companion is someone you can trust with your back. Jiang Wu, do you understand?
"You have outstanding personal abilities, which is your advantage, but in team operations, I value the tacit understanding and cooperation between teammates more. This is why she is more suitable to be a team leader than you."
Jiang Wu was shocked, and the scene of the sparring just now appeared in his mind again.
The feeling of injustice in my heart finally subsided at this moment.
He took a deep breath, a little ashamed on his face: "I understand, thank you for your teachings, I will live up to your expectations in the future."
Qin Ruo nodded and let Jiang Wu go down.
Today she was willing to give Jiang Wu some advice, which meant she had not given up on him and was willing to give him another chance.
Otherwise, sooner or later he will be marginalized by the Jiuyou Sect and then lost in the crowd.
She doesn't want people who have no sense of the overall situation and no concept of teamwork.
What she wanted was to make the Jiuyou Sect’s first team, named Lieyan, a truly elite team.
The strength of a few individuals alone is far from enough; what is needed is the tacit understanding and collaboration of the entire team.
Not long after Jiang Wu left, Song Shiqi arrived.
Song Shiqi did not realize the seriousness of the problem at first. Instead, he felt that Qin Ruo was being too hasty and that Jiang Wu and the others should be given time to adapt.
Qin Ruo seriously asked Song Shiqi, if they did not correct this kind of thinking and behavior from the beginning, would they have to wait until the real combat in the future, paying the price of blood, to tell them this obvious truth?
When facing a real enemy, there is no such thing as trial and error.
I am not asking Jiang Wu and others not to fight, but I want them to have this awareness. Under any circumstances, the lives of myself and my fellow disciples are the first priority, not just showing off my bravery.
Song Shiqi was speechless after being asked this question, and his eyes even looked a little dazed.
In the past, in Qingyun Sect, inner disciples would fight endlessly for resources, and outer disciples would also do whatever it took to get into the inner sect.
At that time, everyone paid more attention to personal cultivation and strength rather than team collaboration and cooperation.
He himself had once been like that.
When he got here, someone told him that competition is acceptable, but only those who advance and retreat together are true fellows.
When fighting with others, you should first protect your own life and the lives of your fellow disciples instead of just pursuing victory or defeat.
Qin Ruo looked at Song Shiqi who looked dazed, patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the house.
She gathered everyone together, temporarily organized them into teams, and guided them herself as they conducted combat training again.
Whether it is a battle between two people or a competition between three people, Qin Ruo can quickly discover the strengths and weaknesses of each person and correct them on the spot.
At the beginning, the team's coordination made frequent mistakes, but later on, they became more and more tacit. The effect of the training was completely different from what it was an hour ago.
Since the establishment of Jiuyoumen, no one has ever seen Qin Ruo's true skills.
Even Song Shiqi had only fought Qin Tiaotiao briefly before, so he had no idea how powerful Qin Ruo was.
It was not until Qin Ruo demonstrated the fighting method to him on the spot just now that Song Shiqi truly realized how powerful Qin Ruo's abilities were.
Being able to see the loopholes of Jiang Wu and others during the competition at a glance and to provide on-the-spot guidance is not something an ordinary person can do.
Even though he had never actually fought with Qin Ruo, he was well aware of the terrifying strength of Qin Ruo.
Jiang Wu's face was filled with shame. He finally realized where his shortcomings lay. He took the initiative to step forward and admit his mistakes to Qin Ruo.
Qin Ruo encouraged Jiang Wu with a few words, then turned around and wrote a training plan and gave it to Song Shiqi, asking him to follow this plan in addition to basic training in the future.
After reading the training plan, Song Shiqi nodded repeatedly.
Before leaving, Qin Ruo went to the residence where Nanny Tian and others were imprisoned, and then left with a letter written by Nanny Tian herself.
After returning to the house, he asked Xundong to send the letter to the Shen family in Shangjing.
