Chapter 71: Quiet Cultivation, Returning to the Base City to See Luo Feng
drink!
1200 veterans, veterans of many battles, shouted loudly and energetically in the spacious underground hall.
Each person either slashed down with a long sword or pierced with a long spear, and the sound of explosions in the air during the sparring was incessant.
A slightly experienced martial artist could tell from their strength that these people possessed at least the strength of an intermediate-level warrior.
Their seemingly simple clashes of swords and spears reveal a fierce and domineering style.
In just a few days, many people have already increased their efforts by more than 2 times!
"Hundred Battles Knife Technique" and "Hundred Battles Spear Technique" are secret power-generating techniques created by Qin Ming through the method of soul introspection, which studied the body structure of thousands of people.
Its style is simple, direct, and efficient.
Simple does not mean crude.
These two manuals were simplified by Qin Ming from the "Broken Army Halberd" manual, and both have created a method to exert seven times the power.
Moreover, it will continue to be optimized as Qin Ming himself progresses.
It simply doesn't have many fancy techniques, making it most suitable for military warriors.
"These people are all very good. They may lack talent or be a bit older, but their physical essence can make up for it. Their willpower is far stronger than that of normal martial artists."
In just five days, they all reached the intermediate warrior level.
Within half a month at most, everyone will reach the advanced warrior level.
Lu Haochuan stood on the platform, looking down at the martial artists sparring below, and exclaimed in admiration.
"The first absorption of flesh and blood essence has the best effect. Combined with the first absorption of gene energy, it is normal for those with good talent to directly become high-level warriors."
With unlimited access to the essence of flesh and blood, the more intensely they train, the better they absorb it.
Qin Ming nodded slightly. Below, Yue Shan, Ling Qianye, and other members of the original Heavenly Sword Special Forces, as well as the 200 martial artists, occasionally gave pointers to the newly advanced martial artists on how to practice combat.
This caused everyone present to transform at an astonishing speed.
The progress of people like Yue Shan and Ling Qianye is terrifying. For example, Yue Shan's physical qualities have reached the level of a beginner war god!
Zhang Yan and Ling Qianye both reached the peak of high-level warriors.
He is only one step away from reaching the level of a war god.
"A month from now, it will be time for them to put their skills to the test. I believe that by then, most of them will have become warriors at the general level."
There will be at least ten War God Warriors.
After several real-world trials, a second round of expansion can begin.
I'll have to trouble the captain to take care of these things.
I'm afraid I don't have that much energy myself.
Qin Ming spoke up.
Although his strength had long surpassed Lu Haochuan's, he still habitually addressed Lu Haochuan, who was both a mentor and a friend, as "Captain."
This is common in the military.
No matter how skilled you are, when you encounter your old squad leader from your recruit days, you'll still habitually call him squad leader.
"Don't worry, we can handle these. We can give them some simple pointers."
Your main focus should be on improving your own abilities.
A powerhouse surpassing the level of a war god has a far greater effect than an army of millions.
Lu Haochuan readily nodded.
With Qin Ming's care, his strength improved faster than anyone could have imagined, and he had already reached the level of a mid-level War God.
They just didn't go to the Ares Palace for certification.
There are quite a few people like him in the military.
There aren't that many war gods in the army, but there are quite a few warriors at the general level.
Many can become war gods with just a little push.
Following a beast tide, the military's overall combat strength is increasing at an alarming rate.
"Yes, I will stay for a while longer. After the next batch of veterans arrives, I will go back to the base city."
Qin Ming nodded. He could occasionally give the Dark Blade Legion some pointers when he had a spare moment, but most of the time he cultivated on his own.
The Dark Blade Legion is just one of the many sparks within the military organization.
In addition, a group of even more ruthless martial artists and soldiers are being secretly recruited.
They are still in the process of gathering.
Every year, China experiences twenty to thirty beast tides, each of which causes at least several hundred deaths, with even more wounded warriors and soldiers among them!
In addition, the military often goes on missions in the wilderness.
They might be clearing out the surrounding area or hunting down certain monsters.
Wounded soldiers, especially martial artists, are often at the forefront and are among the bravest in the army.
In the past, due to funding constraints, even the military could not afford to buy the Water of Life to restore everyone; they could only arrange for their retirement.
They were assigned to local areas to serve as instructors, etc.
Now that the army has the Blood Elixir as a cover, they will gather all of them.
Those who are still willing to fight will be re-enlisted.
Those who wanted a peaceful life returned to their hometowns.
They sacrificed too much for China, and they deserve the compensation they are due.
However, there are too many people, and they are too scattered, so it will take time to gather them together.
Life returned to normal.
Qin Ming also calmed down completely and focused on absorbing the essence formed from the flesh and blood of the king-level monster.
Each pill absorbed can increase punching power by 10000 kg.
Occasionally, he would offer some guidance to the warriors of the Dark Blade Legion.
I use their physical condition to verify my own ideas.
He would also help sort out the wounded and disabled veterans who arrived one after another.
Soon, his physical attributes reached the level of a mid-level War God, and he was rapidly advancing towards the level of a high-level War God.
At this moment, his mental power was still increasing, but he was stuck at the peak level of a high-level war god.
Reaching the Planetary level from the Apprentice level requires a breakthrough.
Either you need to reach the limit of your mental power to break through naturally, or you need to break through through corresponding secret techniques.
"It's time to prepare for the trip to Ruins No. 9 and to make contact with 'Babata' on Kirishima."
Sitting cross-legged in the martial arts training hall, Qin Ming was suspended in mid-air.
The Sky Shuttle split into 16 blades that whistled and flew around him.
His current skill level is to perfectly control 16 throwing knives.
Relic No. 9 is a personnel selection base left on Earth by Meteorite. When the brain span reaches 18 and one is a mentalist, the elite channel can be opened.
In the original novel, Luo Feng's brain span was 21 when he entered the realm of power, allowing him to perfectly control six throwing knives.
After studying the Meteorite Star's "Basic 312 Style" for one year and three months during the trial, he successfully passed the assessment only after his mental power amplitude reached 16.
With the nourishment of the Myriad Soul Banner, Qin Ming was confident that his brain capacity should be able to reach 18, allowing him to open the elite channel and quickly pass the assessment.
The auxiliary optical computer included in the assessment rewards, as well as the "Escape to Heaven" secret technique, are both very important to him.
He doesn't plan to stay there for too long.
With the "Basic 312 Styles" assessment in the elite passage of Ruins No. 9, and the subsequent "Escape from Heaven" secret technique,
His strength can increase dramatically again.
The secret method for breaking through to the planetary level also exists in the auxiliary optical brain.
"Take it easy and focus on maximizing your strength first."
"Take this time to go back to the base city, and then visit Ruins No. 9 after the New Year."
Having made up his mind, Qin Ming stopped cultivating and landed on the ground.
With just the "Basic Techniques of Spiritual Mastery," it would be difficult for him to improve any further. His ability to control 16 throwing knives was purely due to his exceptionally strong soul.
There are no tricks, just numbers. There are no secret techniques, just brute force.
That's describing his current situation.
After resting for a while, Qin Ming walked to his desk, sat down, and picked up one of the books to read carefully.
This is not some powerful secret manual, but a copy of the Tao Te Ching.
With his powerful soul, his memory and calculation abilities have greatly improved. If he wants to read quickly, he can finish a book in a few minutes and memorize it perfectly.
But Qin Ming read it very slowly, carefully savoring each line.
As a core classic of Taoism, the Tao Te Ching is considered to be full of profound wisdom.
The state of mind cultivation described as "attaining utmost emptiness and maintaining steadfast stillness" can benefit one throughout life.
The martial arts philosophy of using softness to overcome hardness, such as the concept of "doing nothing yet accomplishing everything," has been absorbed by internal martial arts such as Tai Chi over thousands of years of Chinese history, and its influence can be found in many martial arts today.
He has mastered all the powerful techniques in the world.
Without any lineage to pass down, one can only explore on their own.
There are many books on the desk.
There are modern martial arts manuals such as "World Destroyer," "Nine-Layer Thunder Blade," and "Phantom Blade Technique," as well as "Yin Talisman Spear Manual."
Ancient texts such as the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch, The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Art of War by Sun Tzu, and The Yellow Court Classic.
It's not just about exerting force in martial arts; it's also a process of cultivating the mind.
For example, although the Yin Fu Spear Manual is an ancient book on spear techniques, its core theories of "hardness and softness, emptiness and fullness, movement and stillness" are similar to those of ancient martial arts Tai Chi Chuan. It emphasizes that one's mind and temperament must be as restrained as a "Yin Fu" (hidden talisman) in order to discern the enemy's moves.
After a long while, Qin Ming put down the book and walked outside the hall.
A bright, clear moon has already risen.
"The Lunar New Year is coming soon."
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Qin Ming felt a little nervous.
The main reason he was going back to the base city was that it was almost Chinese New Year.
It's time to go see my relatives in this world.
He had never been nervous even when facing a King-level monster, but he was a little nervous now.
He wasn't in a hurry to go back, partly because he was busy with military affairs, and partly because he was worried that his current state might frighten them.
After countless killings, even though he tried his best to restrain himself, the sheer amount of murderous aura emanating from him was so intense that even the seasoned veterans in the base dared not look him in the eye.
The Myriad Soul Banner contains the souls of thousands of monsters. Even with two planetary-level main souls guarding it, the overwhelming malevolent energy within is still astonishing.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a god of slaughter descended upon the world.
Fortunately, after this period of quiet contemplation and reading ancient texts, his mindset has become much more peaceful.
At least it won't scare people.
"Let's go back tomorrow; dragging it out isn't a solution. We should also recruit Luo Feng into the army; he's still quite inexperienced."
