Infiltrating the world of cultivation

In the Northern Kingdom's military camp, a thousand men were suddenly released. A group of soldiers clad in armor, led by a Taoist priest in a one-piece robe, took off running.

Many people were somewhat taken aback; even fleeing in disarray, they probably couldn't have run that fast. What tricks was that new Grand Commander up to now?

In the distance, Nangong Wentian stood quietly with his hands behind his back, seemingly lost in thought as he watched this scene.

At first, he was very dismissive of the arrival of the dynasty, but after the dynasty took the lead in shaving his head, Nangong Zhentian began to pay attention.

From the public's perspective, the actions of this dynasty are quite unbelievable, but the fact that it can fool a thousand people shows that this dynasty is quite capable.

Judging from the way those soldiers were running around like madmen, they must have used every ounce of strength they had.

When Nangong Zhentian saw the figure at the forefront, he seemed to be deep in thought. He thought that the person knew how to lead by example and set a good example, which showed that he had some talent.

It seems that I underestimated him before.

When everyone finished the race, they were all exhausted, collapsing to the ground like dead dogs, instinctively adopting the "Ge You slouch."

"Get up, everyone! After running, you can't squat or lie down! Get up and walk!"

Look at you all! Do you even resemble soldiers anymore? You're a bunch of good-for-nothings! All you can do is eat!

The king's words severely stimulated the competitive spirit of the soldiers. They were the most elite soldiers of Wei, and they could not bear such stimulation.

The squad leaders and centurions all set an example by organizing their ranks.

Their formation was incredibly efficient, which surprised the dynasty. As expected of Wei's most elite troops, their operational efficiency was truly remarkable.

However, the team members varied in size and skill level, causing Wang Chao to frown slightly.

"The queue is so uneven, some people are too tall and some are too short. Do you think we're pulling up radishes?! Adjust it immediately!"

"Report: I believe that the ranks should not be arranged according to size. Our rank system is based on veterans leading new recruits, just like on the battlefield."

If they are arranged by size, it is possible to put veterans together and new recruits piled up together.

New recruits on their first battlefield are very likely to die from nervousness, but if there are veterans around, they can at least save their lives.

Therefore, I believe that the formation should be based on experienced soldiers mentoring new recruits.

Wei Xiong spoke calmly and confidently amidst the crowd, though his tone was slightly unsteady, perhaps due to the exhaustion from running earlier.

After listening to Wei Xiong's words, Wang Chao seemed to understand. Wei Xiong was right; he had been overthinking things.

In the military, the ranks were made up of different sizes for the sake of order, but now we are on the border, where war could break out at any moment, and that method is obviously not feasible.

"You're right, let's keep the original arrangement!"

Wang Chao tacitly approved, and Wei Xiong's expression revealed an undisguised smugness. The people around him all cast smug glances at him, making Wei Xiong feel quite smug.

I used to always get dominated by the dynasty, but now I've finally turned the tables. Even though it's not very useful, I feel great!

"Alright, we were originally going to let everyone take a break, but since you all still have a lot of energy, let's do another round!"

Wang Chao's lips curled up. Can a soldier fight with an officer? When he first joined the army, he was trained a lot by his squad leader. Now, he finally has the chance to experience it for himself.

Everyone immediately wore a sour expression and moved slowly with their heads down.

"Those who are slow, do another lap!"

Wang Chao's voice was soft, but to everyone, it was like a bolt from the blue. In an instant, everyone perked up and started running like mad.

If we did another round, we'd be completely overwhelmed.

At night, from the camp tents of the thousand-man squad, cries of agony rose and fell. Wang Chao told them to relax their bodies, but they screamed like pigs being slaughtered; it was a truly horrific scene.

The other officers on duty shuddered at the sound of screams. The new Grand Commander was a devil; she had turned a formidable army into a sick cat.

Listen to those screams. What could have driven these tough men to make such heart-wrenching cries?

Many people swore in their hearts that they would avoid Wang Chao whenever they saw him in the camp, because he was not a human being at all, but a devil!

The next day, while it was still dark, a sharp whistle rang out, and the thousand-man camp where the dynasty was located instantly lit up.

Before long, they had all lined up.

Wang Chao was very satisfied with the way everyone lined up. He had only mentioned it quietly yesterday, but he didn't expect them to react so quickly.

This shows that the dynasty underestimated everyone. They were, after all, the most elite troops of Wei. If they couldn't even do this, Wei would have perished long ago.

Wang Chao taught everyone how to move their bodies, and everyone was very interested in this new thing for the first time.

Some people even brought paper and pen to record what the dynasty said.

After warming up, Wang Chao did not let everyone run freely, but instead made them run in formation, with the faster runners pulling the slower ones along.

Those who know the situation understand that this is the legendary flying of an airplane.

Those who run slowly are basically lifted off the ground after being pulled around once; this is using external force to help them break through their limits.

Physical fitness is the ticket to the battlefield, and having good physical fitness is an essential skill for every soldier.

The reason why the dynasty trained everyone was because it wanted to leave something for the Wei state.

The purpose of this trip to the Northern Kingdom is to investigate those corpses. If we can find the cultivators through this, that would be even better.

If they cannot find it, the dynasty will return to the Nanshan Spirit Mine to see if there have been any changes.

After all, it was a gathering place for cultivators known to the dynasty.

As darkness fell, Ma Han emerged, and judging from his aura, he had already reached the Innate Realm.

"Mahan will never forget the Grand Commander's guidance!"

Ma Han also knew that with his talent, he probably had no hope of reaching the Innate Realm in this lifetime. Now, with the help of the Dynasty, he had reached the Innate Realm.

"It's alright. Bring all the men who are sergeants or above with you. Remember to bring paper and pen."

The dynasty gave its orders.

At night, Wang Chao led everyone in studying "The Art of War" and "The Thirty-Six Stratagems." Regardless of whether the people could understand it or not, he read it aloud from the book. As for how much they could understand, that depended on their comprehension.

Unbeknownst to the dynasty, his actions would cultivate several generals for the state of Wei who would be remembered for all time.

After teaching everything, Wang Chao ignored everyone and sent Ma Han to train them.

Now, the dynasty's resources are about to be exhausted, and his cultivation level has been stuck at the third stage of Qi Refining.

Once you reach the third stage of Qi Refining, it becomes very difficult to advance further. I've heard that there's a barrier between the third and fourth stages of Qi Refining.

This barrier has trapped many people; it's a watershed moment, a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops.
