Xiao Yifei wasn’t entirely sure of the old Daoist’s intentions, whether he wanted to harness all the effects of the secret techniques or truly desired to serve the country—all of that was unimportant. What mattered was that he was the first to stand up, proving that his intentions were correct.
"I am also willing to contribute." The second person to step forward was a monk. Xiao Yifei rembered this person from his trip to the Western Regions; the monk claid they shared a Buddhist destiny and wanted to accompany him on his journey. Xiao Yifei was puzzled by this, since he had intended to seek him out, but unexpectedly, the monk ca to him first.
"I’ll go too," said a burly man carrying a knife.
" too," another plain-looking person stepped out.
...
With the first person stepping forward, almost everyone quickly joined in formation. Xiao Yifei was surprised that all these experts wanted to test the battlefield risks; he had thought there might be a few who wouldn’t want to go.
"Damn it, I’m not going to assist," said the man carrying the large sword proudly, "I’m going for revenge! We were attacked by the Alliance hundreds of years ago, we endured that humiliation, and damn it, they want to try again now? Do they really think we’re pushovers?"
Indeed, a century ago, the leader was weak and incompetent, conceding territory and making reparations, causing the nation to be devastated. After a hard-fought reform, they recovered lost ground. They didn’t want to suffer such humiliation again; especially for cultivators, this kind of behavior was an insult!
"Alright, I’ll go too!" Soone in the organization started to respond, "I’m not young anymore; I’ve played out what needs playing, gotten what needs getting—what’s left is the battlefield. It’s a risk of life and death; next life, I might be a hero again."
Soon, a passionate atmosphere was ignited across the scene. They were people from various levels of society living their lives, but in tis of national crisis, they forgot about ho. Without a country, there is no ho. Standing united was the necessary bond for people of the sa race.
"Training Officer, I want to get stronger!" The shrewd man in the suit stood out loudly. He wasn’t very eager to go to the battlefield; rather, he was attracted by the secret techniques in Xiao Yifei’s hands. He wanted that power now, to enhance himself, to accomplish more.
"Haha..." Xiao Yifei was very perceptive; he imdiately recognized the man in the suit’s ulterior motive but didn’t get angry. People have their ambitions, which cannot be forced. Thus, he certainly wouldn’t hand over all the secret techniques at once; things must be done gradually.
Xiao Yifei smiled. He already had a definite plan in his heart, which could be implented the next day. The ergency reports on Muyun’s desk were piling up as the border situation grew urgent. He had to train this group from their current states, transforming them into a disciplined special operations team, fostering teamwork among them, making them the trump card in this war.
"Everyone, take a rest; after traveling for a day, you must be tired," Xiao Yifei said with a smile, "Starting tomorrow, I’ll begin special training to make you all stronger, to kill more enemies on the battlefield."
"Ah—" The shrewd man in the suit sighed heavily, wondering why they couldn’t start now and had to wait until tomorrow. "Damn it, I wanted to learn secretly and run away, find a nice place to enjoy life."
"Ren Tianye, I need your help tomorrow." After everyone had left, Xiao Yifei called Ren Tianye to inform him of his ingenious plan, aiming to make everyone stronger over the coming days.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yifei began operating his cultivation technique. Instantly, a dense aura began to perate the military district, like a giant vortex unceasingly gathering the limited external aura. The entire military district was soon enveloped in a harmonious atmosphere.
In a flash, several doors to the resting rooms opened directly, and several cultivators recruited from afar flew out and sat cross-legged on the plaza, starting their morning workout. This was a rare opportunity! In the external world, unless a location naturally ford a unique geographical shape, such a "dense aura" wouldn’t exist. In such an environnt, cultivation could progress rapidly, almost feeling like ’Ascension.’
Seeing that almost everyone was present, Xiao Yifei struck a palm towards the sky, dispersing the concentrated aura instantly, eliciting envy from everyone—like having one’s al taken away when eating. Nobody could remain unperturbed!
Yet, nobody dared to step forward; even Huang Mao, who had been quite bold yesterday, was considerably subdued today after being so overwheld last night that he felt a lingering fear.
"Starting today, every morning, I will gather a dense aura for half an hour," Xiao Yifei said with a smile, "You can use it for cultivation. However, it will only last half an hour. Once the ti is up, I will disperse it, so rember: the early bird catches the worm. Hopefully, you understand this point."
"Alright, let’s begin today’s cultivation content." Xiao Yifei continued, clapping his hands. The crowd was puzzled until two shadows erged from the military district’s building—Ren Tianxing and Ren Tianye, Xiao Yifei’s summoned helpers.
Ever since their transformation by Xiao Yifei last ti, they reached a very strong realm, possessing exceptional power; even all those present combined might find it difficult to match them.
"You’ll be divided into two groups," Xiao Yifei thought carefully, "Break the enemy formation and the guillotine!"
"What does that an?" Soone below questioned, puzzled.
"It’s simple, as the nas imply," Xiao Yifei explained with a smile, "Breaking the enemy formation ans disrupting the enemy’s formation, serving as the vanguard to weaken the enemy’s strength; the guillotine is responsible for the follow-up, seizing the opportunity to decapitate the opponents’ leaders once the enemy’s main force or formation is disrupted."
"Alright, I’ve already made my plan. The organized group will be the ’break enemy formation’ team," Xiao Yifei continued, "And these skilled outsiders will be the ones to ’decapitate the leaders’!"
He had already considered it: the organized group had around a hundred people, enough to form a small vanguard. Also, they were more familiar with each other, hopefully solving the opponents’ issues efficiently; whereas the skilled outsiders, whose cultivation levels generally exceeded those of the organization, stood suitable for later harvesting.
"Now appointing the core leaders for both teams!" Xiao Yifei said fiercely, "The ’Break Formation Camp’ will be led by Huang Mao, the man called Xuan Bin in the suit as tactician, with won responsible for interference!" Xiao Yifei had thought that since these three were already small bosses, it was very apt to discipline them further.
"And as for the Guillotine Camp, let’s appoint Daoist Qingfeng as the chief." Xiao Yifei believed that Qingfeng Daoist, who could cut off ’Seven Emotions and Six Desires,’ must be a person of firm resolve. Such a person doesn’t easily make mistakes on the battlefield, making him very suitable for the position, and naturally, since he aligned well with Xiao Yifei as well, it was an excellent choice.
"As the main task for both teams, besides the morning cultivation practice, during other tis, you’ll work collaboratively to defeat the two n in front of you." Xiao Yifei said with a smile, pointing at Ren Tianye and Ren Tianxing beside him.
