Soon, Wang Jie, Chen Li, and Eunuch Chen Jing selected the ten members of the Iron Stone Guards. Naturally, the martial cultivation levels of these ten chosen Iron Stone Guards varied, all below the ninth rank of Martial Master: two were Eighth-Rank Martial Masters, two were Rank 6 Martial Masters, two were Fifth-tier Martial Masters, and two were Third-tier Martial Masters.
Overall, however, all of them were under twenty-five years of age. Aside from the two peak Eighth-Rank Martial Master Iron Stone Guards who were twenty-five, the remaining eight were all under twenty years old.
"Since Generals Wang Jie and Chen Li, along with Eunuch Chen Jing, have recommended you to me, you should understand the heavy responsibilities that await the ten of you in the future," Hua Tianxiong said. "Of course, I also expect the ten of you to draw a definitive line under everything in your past. From this moment on, your sole and absolute focus must be on protecting me. I won't waste words with you; I am entrusting my life and safety into your hands, and I hope the fourteen of you will protect me with all your might. As for your families, Generals Wang Jie and Chen Li will take care of them, and I guarantee they will enjoy a standard of living superior to that of any other Iron Stone Guard or any officer and soldier in the Bohai Legion.
