Kunlun Squad! One month, one hundred people in the Body Tempering Realm!
An overwhelming, one-sided crush.
Looking at the two hundred military elites who instantly collapsed across the square, even the Second Elder, who was mentally prepared, was still startled by the exaggerated scene.
These weren't two hundred fresh recruits; these were two hundred of the most elite soldier kings, hand-picked from a million-strong army!
Any one of them, taken out individually, could easily take on ten opponents—that was just basic operation!
And the result?
In Lin Xiyue's hands, they didn't even last ten seconds.
This was no longer a spar; this was a dimensionality reduction strike!
"That's outrageous, Little Yue. Is there really such a huge gap between a Cultivator and a Mortal?"
The Third Elder adjusted his reading glasses, his face full of disbelief.
He clearly remembered that Lin Xiyue also knew a powerful lightning Spell, the one that had blasted the specially made rockery into dust.
However, just now, she didn't use that technique at all; she simply relied on her movement technique to take down all two hundred of these soldier kings.
"Grandpa San, it's not quite like that."
"According to My Brother, once one steps into the Qi Refining Realm, they completely transcend the realm of Mortals."
Lin Xiyue explained with a serious little face.
"Under the enhancement of spiritual energy, the power an individual can exert becomes incredibly terrifying."
"So, it's actually because my cultivation is too high. If I were still in the Body Tempering Realm, it wouldn't be so outrageous, right?"
Hearing Lin Xiyue's explanation, the Second Elder couldn't help but ask, "Then what level of power is roughly achieved in the Body Tempering Realm?"
Lin Xiyue tilted her small head, thought for a moment, then replied, "Hmm, I didn't stay in the Body Tempering Realm for long, but when I was at Body Tempering First Level, I already had over a thousand jin of strength."
She paused, then added.
"My Brother estimated that with my terrifying rate of increase, by the time I reach the Body Tempering Ninth Level, I'd have at least ten thousand jin of immense strength, perhaps even twenty thousand jin!"
"Twenty thousand jin of strength?!"
The Second Elder was so startled by this number that he shivered!
Twenty thousand jin, what kind of concept was that?
Even if the legendary Hegemon-King of Western Chu were reborn, he wouldn't even come close to a fraction of that!
He finally confirmed it: the gap between Cultivators and Mortals was indeed so vast that it couldn't be measured by common sense!
"Little Yue, this twenty thousand jin of strength, you must have achieved it because of your extraordinary talent, right?"
"Did your Older Brother ever say what the standard for an ordinary Body Tempering Realm Cultivator is?"
The Grand Elder knew that Lin Xiyue's situation could not be taken as a common example, so he asked.
"He did. An ordinary Body Tempering First Level Cultivator can gain at least three hundred jin of strength, and after reaching the Body Tempering Ninth Level, they'll have at least three thousand jin of strength."
"However, breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm doesn't significantly increase strength because the focus is no longer on the Physical Body."
Lin Mo had explained these aspects to her in detail, so she kept them all in mind.
"Just becoming a Body Tempering Realm Cultivator can add at least three hundred jin of strength? That's still astonishing!"
"And this isn't even considered a true Cultivator."
"It's truly unimaginable how terrifying the strongest individuals in the world your Older Brother is in must be."
The Fourth Elder's sigh carried a deep sense of wistfulness.
While the old men were secretly whispering, the two hundred soldiers also gradually got back on their feet.
Lin Xiyue had naturally acted with restraint, so they hadn't suffered too serious injuries.
Otherwise, if she had gone all out and used the Spell, Shining Thunder, at least a large portion of these two hundred people would have died!
However, while the physical injuries weren't severe, the mental impact they suffered was immense!
What the hell?
Didn't they say it was a spar?
Why was I knocked down before I even saw the person clearly?
Most importantly, I don't even know who knocked me down!
Because from beginning to end, the little girl, the chief commander, just stood there, not moving an inch.
And they only saw a fleeting phantom!
"Heh heh, isn't it shocking?"
"Indeed, even the four of us were shocked back then."
"But, this is the truth!"
The Second Elder stepped forward and loudly announced to the two hundred soldiers who had reassembled their ranks.
"Your chief commander is a genuine Cultivator!"
"Have you heard of Cultivators? They are the legendary immortal Cultivators!"
"What?!"
This time, even though they were the most elite aces, they couldn't help but collectively gasp in surprise!
They couldn't help it; after all, anyone hearing such an outrageous thing would be unable to control their body from expressing that inexpressible shock.
"Shocked?"
"It's good that you're shocked!"
"But don't be shocked for too long, because Great Xia has officially launched the dao ancestor plan!"
The Second Elder's words were resounding.
"Next, Great Xia will gradually enter the stage of nationwide Cultivation!"
"And you, you are the pioneers, the trailblazers of this plan!"
"So, lads, be proud of this."
"The names of you two hundred will ultimately be etched into the history of Great Xia!"
"Now, please, Commander Lin, name your squad!"
The Second Elder's tone shifted, and he looked directly at Lin Xiyue.
Lin Xiyue's small face froze; she seemed to have not expected that she would have to name this squad herself.
However, naming it wasn't a difficult task.
She thought seriously for a moment and immediately had an idea.
"Let's call it the Kunlun Squad."
"Good, a good name!"
Hearing Lin Xiyue's naming, the Four Elders immediately praised it.
Kunlun, the source of myths, the ancestor of all mountains; the meaning of this name was too profound!
Naming it thus implied that Great Xia's extraordinary path would begin from this place, and in the future, it would surely stand at the pinnacle of the world, just like the sacred Kunlun Mountain!
And so, the Kunlun Squad, now with a name, officially began their journey of Cultivation under Lin Xiyue's guidance!
However, during their first lesson, Lin Xiyue finally understood a simple truth.
That is, she and ordinary people were truly different.
Because the Body Tempering Art, which seemed incredibly simple to her, was as complex as a heavenly book in the eyes of these two hundred iron-willed men.
"Reporting, Chief Commander!"
A loud yet somewhat embarrassed voice rang out.
Chen Gang, the former interim captain and now official captain of the Kunlun Squad, after staring at the printed copy of the Body Tempering Art in his hands for a full two hours, still stood up with a red face and sought guidance from Lin Xiyue.
"Subordinate doesn't understand, what exactly does the feeling of Qi and blood flowing feel like?"
When he spoke, it was as if a switch had been flipped, and everyone else simultaneously looked up.
Two hundred hardened men exchanged glances, each with the same clear yet foolish expression on their faces.
Anyone unaware might have thought it was the orientation ceremony for a new university class!
"Ah, this..."
Lin Xiyue was also stunned.
"Seeing how serious you all were, I thought you understood it quite easily?"
Looking at the bewildered expressions of these "students," her little head was filled with question marks.
"Sorry, Chief Commander..."
Chen Gang scratched his head, saying with great embarrassment.
"The content here is really too advanced; we find it a bit difficult to understand."
"If I had to comprehend it myself, I feel like I wouldn't even grasp the meaning of the first few sentences for days."
He could understand every word on the page, but he simply couldn't connect them to his own body.
So, he could only look eagerly at Lin Xiyue, the only hope who could guide them.
"Cough cough, I apologize. It's my first time being an instructor, so I'm a bit lacking in experience."
Only then did Lin Xiyue realize that as an instructor, she had to act like one.
"Well then, I'll explain it to everyone right now!"
And so, she quickly cleared her throat and began to meticulously explain the various key points of the Body Tempering Art.
Fortunately, this was effortless for her.
Although she hadn't Cultivated the Body Tempering Art for long, with her Comprehension Ability, she had already thoroughly mastered this introductory Cultivation Technique.
Therefore, guiding everyone now truly took no effort.
In this way, the Kunlun Squad's Cultivation plan proceeded in full swing.
During this period, the Four Elders of Great Xia rarely left, witnessing the transformation of these two hundred soldiers throughout.
Sometimes, they would even sit cross-legged on the ground with the soldiers, listening attentively to Lin Xiyue's lessons.
Time flew by.
One month later, in the conference room, the Four Elders looked at the data Lin Xiyue submitted, and smiles appeared on their faces simultaneously.
Because, after a month of arduous Cultivation, out of the two hundred soldiers in the Kunlun Squad, a remarkable one hundred and twenty-three had successfully sensed their Qi and blood, officially stepping into the Body Tempering First Level!
And this result was sufficient to prove that nationwide Cultivation had the potential to be realized!
Great Xia's rise was just around the corner!
