Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Six, Ninth Squad

"Han Yi".

"age…...."

"16."

"Alright, your accommodation is house number eighteen."

"Here, take your waist tag. Remember, as long as you're alive, you have the tag. You'll need to show it when entering and leaving the camp from now on." The clerk smiled slightly. "If you unfortunately die in battle in the future, your identity can still be identified by your waist tag."

This joke is a bit lame... Han Yi thought to himself.

The waist tag was engraved with Han Yi's information and surrounded by cloud patterns. It felt heavy and substantial in the hand. "And here's this month's Qi and Blood Powder, take it!" The clerk gestured to the side.

"The techniques need to be taught to you by Instructor Lin."

"As for which specific team you will be assigned to, that will have to wait until Instructor Lin returns tomorrow!"

Gongfa?

Qi and Blood Dispersing?

Han Yi's eyes lit up. He could receive a Qi and Blood Powder at the end of the month, and becoming a disciple of the Guard Team would also get him a cultivation technique. No wonder everyone longed to become a disciple of the Guard Team. The sect's benefits were really good!

"Alright, next person, come on over..."

After Han Yi and his group of five finished registering, Manager Liu hurriedly returned to the mining camp to count the amount of ore.

The five of them waited for Instructor Lin to return the next day and await his instructions. The following morning...

After leaving the canteen, Han Yi patted his belly with satisfaction and strolled leisurely toward the training ground.

The food on this guard team is really good; meat is provided in unlimited quantities. Just for that reason alone, it was the right decision to bring the guard team here!

"New disciples, assemble here!"

Early in the morning, Instructor Lin's powerful voice rang out from the training ground.

Han Yi and the other new disciples didn't dare to be negligent and ran over there!

The new disciples this time come from three mining camps, totaling 12 people. This is the largest number of new recruits in the history of the guard team!

Of course, there are reasons for this.

It is said that the guard team suffered heavy losses during a mission in the Black Rock Mountains not long ago, and even the second-level treasure hunter from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, who was hired by the Crimson Flame Sect at a high price, died tragically in this mission! Han Yi looked at the 'Yang Yuan Gong' in his hand and was quite speechless. It turned out that the so-called teaching of the technique was just to distribute the diagrams and practice on one's own. If there were any questions, one could ask Instructor Lin.

Of course, Instructor Lin also shared a lot of valuable information just now.

Martial arts, martial arts, anyone who wants to cultivate must first practice their skills!

Practicing martial arts without internal cultivation is all for naught!

According to Instructor Lin, the first three stages of martial arts training are refining the skin, refining the bones, and refining the blood.

Perhaps during the skin and bone refining stages, one can use external martial arts techniques like the Mountain-Crushing Fist to temper the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, thereby improving one's cultivation level.

However, when it comes to the Blood Refining stage, martial artists need to temper their internal organs and replace old blood with new blood. At this time, they have no choice but to practice martial arts techniques!

Moreover, external martial arts training can only focus on training a few key parts, while internal martial arts techniques can temper the blood and qi of the whole body, so the earlier you start practicing internal martial arts techniques, the better.

As for the 'Yang Yuan Gong', Instructor Lin was quite frank, saying that it was a basic martial arts technique that only beginners would practice.

The origin of "Yang Yuan Gong" is unknown, as its creator is unknown and its source is even more untraceable.

However, after thousands of years of verification by countless people, this 'Yang Yuan Gong' is the most balanced and peaceful, with no risk of going astray or becoming possessed by demons. Moreover, it does not conflict with other cultivation methods and makes it convenient to switch to more advanced cultivation methods!

If one day they are promoted from the guard team to inner disciples, it will not affect their ability to switch to the inner sect technique 'Fire Element Technique'.

To put it bluntly, outer disciples are only qualified to cultivate these common martial arts techniques.

"Alright, disciples, next is to assign teams." Instructor Lin's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Li Tie, early stage of skin refining, strong but not agile, suitable for defense, fifth team."

"Han Yi, mid-stage Skin Refining, explosive power, agile, suitable for guerrilla warfare, Ninth Team."

......

"New disciples, don't forget to collect your weapons!" Instructor Lin called out. "Today, the senior disciples will guide the new disciples to familiarize themselves with the environment. Once they're settled in, they can go and accept missions!"

After that, he turned and left.

On the weapon rack to the side, there were all kinds of weapons, including knives, swords, spears, shields, and bows.

Of course, Han Yi immediately excluded the spear, after all, spearmen have always been unlucky!

Considering that knives are simple to learn to use and have considerable killing power, he stepped forward and casually picked up a standard long knife.

With his longsword in hand, Han Yi casually glanced at his overall strength, which was '6~12'.

Han Yi's pupils dilated slightly. Although he had guessed that having a weapon in hand would increase his stats, he didn't expect it to be so significant!

"Before I wield a knife, it's '6~7'. 6 is the lowest limit my body can withstand, or rather, my body's defensive strength, while 7 is my maximum attack power with my bare hands!"

"Now, with the longsword as a bonus, my attack power has increased, breaking through the upper limit and becoming 12!" Han Yi thought to himself.

"We're finally all here. We can finally carry out our mission," said a handsome young man with bright, intelligent eyes from the ninth team.

He held a folding fan and wore a white robe, looking every bit the spoiled young master.

"This new disciple seems to be only slightly less handsome than me!"

At this moment, Han Yi was dressed in a black short-sleeved outfit, with a cloud-patterned waist tag hanging from his waist. He held a ring-pommel sword in his hand. He had a handsome face, deep and bright eyes, and exuded a youthful and vibrant aura!

Anyone who sees him will praise him, what a handsome and dashing young man! "Pan Sheng, he was just sent by the sect."

He carried a longbow on his back, and the numbers '32~40' floated beside him.

"This is Wang Meng, just call him Fatty!"

"This is our captain, Li Feng, who came with me from the sect."

The young man, who called himself Mr. Pan, acted as if he knew the place well and introduced himself with a smile.

"What do you mean fat? I'm called strong, okay?!"

The numbers '21~23' floated beside Wang Meng.

"Alright, stop fooling around." Li Feng was tall and carried a shield that was more than half a person's height on his back, and he looked very composed.

Team leader Li Feng's stats are a staggering '55~65'!

"So strong! This person's strength is almost on par with Instructor Lin!" Han Yi thought to himself with a hint of helplessness. "And I'm probably the weakest one..."

"Han Yi, over here, let me tell you about the situation of our Ninth Team."

With Li Feng's explanation, Han Yi began to understand why Instructor Lin had assigned him to the Ninth Squad.

In the ninth team, Li Feng wielded a shield for defense, Pan Sheng used a bow as a scout, Wang Meng used a mace for frontal attacks, and he wielded a knife for burst damage as a guerrilla finisher!

In addition, apart from Wang Meng, who is considered a senior disciple of the guard team, Li Feng and Pan Sheng in the ninth team were sent by the sect to carry out the trial mission. The other teams were in a similar situation.

This is because the guard team encountered an accident during their last mission in the Blackrock Mountains, and most of the disciples lost their lives!

There was no other way. The Crimson Flame Sect intended to test its disciples, so it sent inner disciples to maintain order. Therefore, the captains of each team were all inner disciples. The trial would last for three months, and the teams would be ranked according to the number and difficulty of the tasks they completed.

"Escort mission?"

"Accident?"
