Chapter 408: Chapter 408 Forging the Body

Jin Gang and the others were the most elite spearheads of the troop, embodying the one-in-ten-thousand existence in the military, and being selected to join the Long Chi Troop was an acknowledgement of their strength.

So when Li Xiaoyao called them trash, they were infuriated.

However, now, all the members of Long Chi, working together to take down Li Xiaoyao, hadn’t even touched him before they were sent flying.

Such strength, perhaps even Ling Tian, the legendary number one genius of the military, might not be able to achieve it, right?

Li Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back and asked indifferently, “Are you convinced?”

Jin Gang and the others stood up from the ground. The arrogance on their faces was gone, replaced only by bitter smiles and admiration.

In the military, the strong were always respected. When Li Xiaoyao showed his formidable ability, naturally, Jin Gang and the others respected him.

“Convinced!”

More than a dozen men stood as straight as frosty pines, shouting loudly.

Li Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction and said, “Although you are all trash, now you are trash that has some backbone.”

Upon hearing these words, everyone’s faces immediately showed joy. Although Li Xiaoyao called them trash, there were distinctions even among trash; at least, this group of trash had received Li Xiaoyao’s recognition, and he was also willing to teach them.

The thought of a powerful cultivator being willing to personally instruct them excited everyone. If one day they could become as powerful as Li Xiaoyao, wouldn’t the vast world be theirs for the taking?

“I don’t have much time to instruct you, but I won’t teach you perfunctorily. Since I promised Mr. Cheng, I will definitely lead you out. If you don’t win first place in this year’s military competition, don’t go around saying you were soldiers brought out by Li Xiaoyao. Did everyone get that?”

“Understood!”

The crowd roared. They had begun to feel slightly disappointed when Li Xiaoyao mentioned that he wouldn’t teach them for long, but the latter part of his speech lifted their spirits again.

Li Xiaoyao took out a bottle of Pill Medicine, and a young woman immediately stepped forward to receive it.

“This is the Spirit Concealment Pill. After taking it, it can stimulate the potential within your body,” Li Xiaoyao explained simply.

The young woman asked with some concern, “Won’t this kind of pill, which stimulates human potential, cause harm to the body?”

Li Xiaoyao shook his head. “No, the Spirit Concealment Pill is mild in nature. Human potential is limitless; even with cultivation, only a part of it can be stimulated. The effect of the Spirit Concealment Pill lies in its ability to unboundedly unlock that potential. If you still don’t understand, let me put it in more common terms.”

“Suppose the human body is like an ocean, and the potential you have developed so far is but a small stream. Once you take the Spirit Concealment Pill, your body will expand, and even if it doesn’t reach the vastness of an ocean, it will at least be like the Yangtze or Yellow River.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes immediately sparkled as they stared at the jade bottle in the woman’s hands.

The woman distributed the Spirit Concealment Pills, and after taking them, there was no reaction, which disappointed them.

Li Xiaoyao said, “The Spirit Concealment Pill is just a catalyst; to truly stimulate the body’s potential, you must combine it with high-intensity training. Starting now, I will train you with a devilish method. If anyone wants to give up, step forward now.”

Everyone stood tall and straight, and no one gave up.

“Good, no one is giving up,” said Li Xiaoyao. “Now, the training begins.”

The group had thought the training would be terrifying, but when Li Xiaoyao had them adopt one strange pose after another, they began to suspect he was just brushing them off.

What Li Xiaoyao taught them was a body conditioning method, which, despite its bizarre postures, consumed the energy of every muscle in the body with each movement made.

The group might not have noticed at first, but when they kept a pose for over a minute, the effect became immediately apparent.@@novelbin@@

“Mu Tou, how are you feeling?” the speaker was named Gang Qiang, at the ninth level of the Condensation Realm, his body drenched in sweat, every muscle trembling.

Clenching his teeth, Mu Tou’s voice almost squeezed out between them: “At first I didn’t feel much from Instructor Li’s movements, but how come it’s only been a minute and I feel like my body is about to break down?”

Gang Qiang managed a wry smile, “Yeah, I had my doubts at first too. But Instructor Li is indeed Instructor Li, even a casual movement he teaches us is so hard to maintain. I can do a horse stance for hours on a regular day, but with this movement, I feel like I can’t last even ten minutes.”

“Ten minutes? Damn, I think I’ll be done in two.”

The seventeen members of Long Chi Troop were maintaining the same posture, motionless, their sweat dripping to wet the ground beneath them.

Cheng Dongliang, watching this scene, felt a trace of gratification. He hadn’t had much hope for Li Xiaoyao at first, but now it seemed he had underestimated his methods.

Li Xiaoyao walked around the seventeen, saying, “This body conditioning method is just the foundation. The passing mark is one hour. If you don’t want to be trash, work hard to reach that standard.”

When the group heard the passing mark was one hour, they felt plunged into darkness, realizing that shaking off the moniker of trash wouldn’t be easy.

“Now, you must be feeling very tired and unwilling to continue. But when one day you manage to hold out for an hour, you will see just how much today’s sweat will have helped you.”

“I can’t claim this body conditioning method to be anything formidable, but if you truly reach the passing mark, getting into the top three in the military district competition won’t be a problem at all.”

“Of course, if you want to be number one, there is an even tougher path ahead of you. Tell me loudly, do you have the confidence?”

“Yes!”

…

Li Xiaoyao stayed here for three days, and in that time, the seventeen’s average hold time increased from seven to twenty minutes, an immense improvement. Yet to Li Xiaoyao’s eyes, it was still unsatisfactory.

Every time they became complacent, seeing Li Xiaoyao shake his head in displeasure instantly kindled a fire in them.

“If I won’t eat buns, at least I’ll have spirit. I’m determined to hold out!” That’s what they thought.

On the sixth day, the group could on average hold out for forty-three minutes, with Jin Gang managing fifty-one minutes, just nine minutes shy of the passing mark.

After a day of training, Li Xiaoyao would take out medicinal herbs and prepare a medicinal bath for everyone.

The group, exhausted in body and mind after a day’s training, would sometimes fall asleep right in the wooden tubs, but when they woke up, they felt full of energy.

They knew this was all thanks to the medicinal baths prepared by Li Xiaoyao.

Though they didn’t say it out loud, in their hearts, they held increasing respect for Li Xiaoyao.
