Chapter 58 - Planning for the future

I couldn't tell Cao I read a book in my previous life called the Art of War could I?

So I decided to make a half lie

"A great tactician taught me some of the things he knows" I said

"Who are they?" Caps asked curious

"Their name is Sun Tzu" I replied curtly

Cao didn't continue probing for information

"Come on, unless you want me to train you personally(beating you half to death)" Cao got the message as we continued on

As we ran through the forest I got inmersed in my thoughts

'I should have my squad leaders learn the lightning mutilation arts. And in order for others to learn they will have to rise in rank. I should also give my people the option to learn internal destruction arts instead of the crimson mutilation arts' I thought

'But I should have then only learn one so that they will be at least proficient with one, as for the body obliteration arts I'll use the same system as the lightning mutilation arts' I continued thinking till we got to the sect

"Cao, I want you to go assist Jeong in harassing the Mount Huang sect, but I have a slightly different job for you. Try to make it look like it's the shark hunter sect" I said

"Why would we do that? Don't we want them to attack us?" Cao asked

"That was the plan but I have another idea, what if we were to pit our enemies against eachother, I know their already at war but with the constant harassment the mount Huang sect won't take it lightly" I said

"So if the two were to fight then we can finish off whoever remains as they would be heavily weakened" I said grinning

Cao nodded in response getting ready to leave

"Wait, you just finished a mission. Rest for a bit while I make a martial art for your sect" I said

Cao visible deflated at this

"Yes master" Cao said

I walked back to the main hall and went into my office.

I got out a scroll and started writing.

'As the tang clan uses poisons and acids I should make something that would maximize these strengths…' then I was hit with an idea

"Let's make a sort of grappling style. This will allow their hand to constantly be touching their opponent. They can use an acid to break the layers of skin then put the poison into their body through the broken skin" I writed it out

Using the inate talent of my body and my previous world's knowledge I mixed judo, wrestling, and jiu jitsu

It focused a lot on takedowns and then moving into a joint lock then keeping them in that position for as long as possible

'This seems passable' I thought as I put down the scroll

Then I left my office and headed for the storage

Inside was some wood, stone, minerals etc but I was here for some wood

Using my fingers I cut a log into small slabs similar in size to the previous plaques I made

Then I brought them to my office and started the long process of carving them
