Chapter 16 Someone comes to vote Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several days have passed. "Not bad!" “You guys did a great job!” At 3:30 in the morning, on one side of the courtyard, Zhang Xianzhong smiled and praised the dozen or so young men who were practicing hard in front of him, "Especially Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu, and Zhang Huier, you four really didn't disappoint me." He looked at the four talented teenagers who had accepted his personal guidance for five days with satisfaction, and praised them, "You have already mastered the basics of the standing practice, and you are also quite proficient in the Tiger Roar Fist. I estimate that within these two days, your standing practice will promote the blood and qi throughout your body, forming blood and qi power in your meridians, and you will enter the realm of warriors." "Especially Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi. Their previously wasted blood and energy have now been completely restored. It is very likely that as soon as they become warriors, they will be able to break through their blood and energy limits and get a chance to shave their hair and cleanse their marrow!" "Not all warriors can perform hair removal and marrow cleansing when they break through to the Body Refining Realm." "On the contrary, the chance of this happening is extremely small, one in a hundred!" "The difference between a so-called genius and an ordinary warrior lies in whether one can get the opportunity to shave hair and cleanse marrow every time a realm is broken through, so that one's physique can be transformed." "And if you want to achieve hair removal and marrow cleansing, you can only do it when your Qi and blood break through the limit. Especially when breaking through each major realm, the effect is the best."
"I hope that you, through your own efforts and talents, can successfully achieve three Qi and Blood Limit Breaking, Hair Removal and Marrow Cleansing in each level of Body Refining. I even hope to receive the blessing of heaven and earth when you break through to the Qi Refining realm." What he called the blessing of heaven and earth was actually to unlock his own destiny, gain the power of his natal star, and acquire innate supernatural powers! Of course, he would not reveal this secret openly. Only an enchanting genius with a star destiny can experience it personally. It is also the secret trump card of genius warriors like them, and they will never tell outsiders. As a person who has been through it all, Zhang Xianzhong has experience. Generally speaking, the commander of any large army must be a master of the Qi Refining realm. Only in this way can they use their own Qi to control the military formation to gather the bloody and evil energy inspired by the soldiers and truly unleash the power of the military formation. However, warriors in the body refining realm cannot do this. To be honest, only warriors in the Qi Refining Realm can provide great help to Zhang Xianzhong. The soldiers in the Body Refining Realm, without the command of Qi Refining Realm masters, are just a group of scattered sand. When the two armies face off, they cannot exert their true combat effectiveness. For people who have astrology destiny, there is no way to detect it before it is opened. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong had no idea whether these four talented young men in front of him had any astrological destinies. But that doesn't stop him from having high expectations. Once there are a few super geniuses with star destiny among his core generals, he will make a real profit. Among these dozen talented young men, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi are the most likely to have it. There was no way. The progress of their cultivation, as well as the speed of recovery and increase of their bones, qi and blood, not only surpassed those of Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier, who were also monstrous geniuses, but also far exceeded those of the other twelve talented young men. It should be either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow that Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi will successfully develop their own Qi and blood power and officially become warriors. By then, Zhang Xianzhong will pass on the top-level skills he obtained through a chance encounter. Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi will undoubtedly see a rapid improvement in their cultivation! If all goes well, they will be able to be used when the imperial army arrives in about three months. In the path of martial arts, in the lower three realms of body refining, as long as the resources for cultivation can keep up, and one's own bones, qi and blood, and talent are outstanding, one can quickly achieve success. When a huge gap really opens up between warriors, it depends on whether you can break through to the Qi Refining Realm.
The difference between the fourth level warrior and the third level warrior is not just a small one, they are completely different levels, the gap is huge! A Qi Refining warrior at the early fourth level of martial arts is enough to easily defeat ten warriors at the peak of the third level of body refining. Even a genius cannot challenge a higher level opponent. It is estimated that among a hundred warriors at the peak of the third level of body refining, only one or two of them can break through to the fourth level of Qi refining, and the chance is very small. Due to the decreasing spiritual energy and cultivation resources of the world today, even in the huge Ming Dynasty, there are at least tens of millions of warriors, but the known masters of Qi refining are estimated to be no more than 100,000! As for the future, will the concentration of spiritual energy in this world change? Will there be more Qi Refining masters? Will there even be someone who breaks through to the Spirit Refining Realm? That is the unknown. With the huge population base of the current Ming Dynasty, masters of the Qi Refining Realm are so rare. One can imagine how difficult it is for a warrior to break through to the Qi Refining Realm. But this is not the case in the Liaodong region outside the Great Wall. I don’t know what changes have taken place in the Liaodong region in recent decades, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has increased instead of decreased. Some experts have preliminarily concluded that this is probably caused by recent changes in the world, or the emergence of a large spiritual vein in Liaodong. The ratio of warriors in the Qi Refining Realm and the Body Refining Realm in the army of the Liaodong Later Jin Tartars is now much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty. Among the Later Jin Tartars in Liaodong alone, there are thousands of known Qi Refining Realm generals, and they are fearless and unafraid of death. Compared with the Later Jin Tartars, the Ming Dynasty was plagued by rampant corruption, slack government, officials and gentry were united, and soldiers had no will to fight. In addition, natural disasters and man-made disasters were getting worse and worse. It was understandable that it was defeated repeatedly on the battlefield in Liaodong. However, although the Ming Dynasty was already crumbling, it still had enough national fortune to suppress the rebellion. With a large population and huge potential for war, the Tartars outside the Great Wall did not dare to send large armies into the Great Wall at will. It was only in the past few years since the new emperor ascended the throne that the country encountered a large influx of troops from the Later Jin Tartars. It was during this time of entering the pass and raiding the valleys that the Later Jin Tartars rubbed the face of the Ming Dynasty hard on the ground! This also made the Later Jin Tartars fully realize the current weakness of the Ming Dynasty. It was like a paper tiger and no longer a giant that could not be provoked. There is no need to think too much about it. From now on, the invasion of the Later Jin Tartars into the pass is likely to happen frequently. Ai Nengqi was very excited to receive the praise from the Eighth King, and his face turned red with excitement. Li Dingguo did not dare to seek special treatment. Although he did not care about it in his heart, he secretly encouraged himself. When practicing the Tiger Roar Fist, he increased his strength and turned his face red, trying his best to perform like Ai Nengqi. The dozen or so friends nearby, including Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier, couldn't help feeling jealous and envious. But this is the difference in talent, you can't help but accept it. At this time, a dragon-scale horse carrying a knight came galloping from the gate of the courtyard. Zhang Xianzhong just turned his head to look, and the knight had already arrived in front of him. He skillfully dismounted from his horse, clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Xianzhong, and reported, "Your Majesty, today a powerful warrior has come to join the army!" "Ma Yuanli, who is in charge of the test, is no match for the other party!" "If nothing unexpected happens, he must be a master of the Qi Refining Realm!" "And it seems that this martial arts master is a veteran soldier of the government army!" He looked very excited, even a little breathless, which showed how hasty and excited he was when he arrived. Their rebel army is now just a mob that has just started an uprising. It is now the time when they are most in need of talents, especially a Qi Refining Realm general who can lead an army on his own.
"Oh?" "I'm going to go check this out right away!" Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed and responded with some surprise, "If the other party is sincere in joining our rebel army, this is a great thing!" "Old Eight, these young men are practicing the Tiger Roar Fist. You have enough experience in this style of boxing, so stay and continue to instruct them. I'll go back to the barracks and take a look." He gave instructions to his trusted subordinate, jumped onto his warhorse, turned his horse around, and quickly left the compound, galloping towards the military camp... (End of this chapter)
