Chapter 1 Morning in a small town
Wushan Town is an ordinary town in the western Finlay Kingdom of the "Warcraft Mountains" in the Magnolia Continent.
As the morning rises, the small town of Wushan Town still has a hint of coldness in the morning, but almost all the residents in the town have come out to work. Even children aged six or seven have almost gotten up and started traditional morning exercises.
In the open space east of Wushan Town, the warm morning sun shines through the big trees next to the open space, leaving mottled spots on the open space.
I saw a large group of children, looking over and guessing that there were about one or two hundred. The group of children was divided into three teams, each of which was lined up in several rows, and the children stood quietly in the open space with a serious expression. The children in the north of this group of children were about six to eight years old. The team in the middle was about nine to twelve years old, and the group in the south was a group of teenagers aged thirteen to sixteen.
In front of this large group of children were three strong middle-aged people, all wearing short vests and coarse trousers.
"If you want to become a great soldier, you must exercise hard since childhood." The middle-aged man in the head held his hands and raised his head, and his cold eyes swept towards a team at the northeast. The group of six or seven-year-old children were pursing their lips, and their black eyes were even more staring at the middle-aged man, not daring to speak at all.
The middle-aged man in charge is named Hillman, and he is the captain of the guard team of the "Baruke Family" owned by Wushan Town.
"You are all ordinary people. It is impossible for you to have the powerful practice of fighting Qixizhi like those great nobles. If you want to be successful and not be looked down upon in the future, you must follow the oldest, simplest and most basic methods to exercise, exercise your body, and strengthen your strength, and understand whether you understand!"
Hillman's eyes swept to the group of children.
"I understand." A group of teenagers shouted loudly.
"Very good." Hillman nodded indifferently with satisfaction. Most of the six or seven-year-old children had a confused look in their eyes, while the teenagers had a strong look in their eyes because they understood what Hillman said.
Almost every man in the Magnolia Continent has to train hard since childhood. If anyone does not train hard, he will be looked down upon in the future! What represents a man's status is strength and money! A man without strength will be looked down upon by even a woman.
I want parents to be proud of, girls to admire, and a glory to live in the future!
You must become a great warrior!
They are all civilians and it is impossible to practice those precious fighting spirits. Their only way is to exercise their bodies and work hard from a young age! Work hard and work hard! Spend more energy and more effort than those nobles!
"In the morning, the sun rises, and all things are full of vitality. This is the best time to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and improve our physical potential. The old rules are the legs apart and shoulder-width, the knees are slightly bent, and the hands are closed at the waist to form a 'qi style'. When doing the qi style, remember to 'concentrate attention, keep calm in your heart, and breathe naturally'." Hillman said coldly.
The Qi-condensing style is the simplest and most effective way to exercise the body. This is the experience accumulated by our ancestors over countless years.
Suddenly, one or two hundred children did their best according to the "Qi style" posture.
"Remember, concentrate, calm your mind, and breathe naturally!" Hillman said coldly in the group of teenagers.
At first glance, it was obvious that the teenagers in the teenage team in the south were all concentrated and breathing naturally. At the same time, they all achieved "deep, flat, and stable". It was obvious that they had achieved some achievements in the "qi-abundling style".
But looking at the six or seven-year-old child in the north, he has different degrees of bent knees, his legs are loose and weak, obviously without strength, and he is not stable at all.
Hillman said to the other two middle-aged men: "You are responsible for the two teams in the south and the center respectively, and I will manage those children."
"Yes, captain." The two middle-aged men responded immediately. Then the two men looked carefully at the two teams in the center and south, and sometimes kicked the teenagers' legs to see if the teenagers were standing firm enough.
Hillman walked towards the group of six or seven-year-old children in the north, and the children immediately became nervous.
"No, the big devil is here." A blond boy with big eyes, named 'Hadley' whispered.
Hillman entered the center of this group of children. Looking at these children, Hillman's face was cold, but he sighed in his heart: "These children are too young, both physically and mentally are far from enough, and they cannot have too high requirements for them. However, physical exercise is better to train them since childhood. If you exercise carefully since childhood, you will have a greater chance of going to the battlefield to survive in the future."
And teaching children... to induce and attract them is the most effective way! Force can only have a counterproductive effect!
"Stand one by one." Hillman snorted coldly.
Suddenly, children raised their chests and looked ahead.
A smile rose from the corner of Hillman's mouth, then he walked to the front and took off the vest. The muscle lines on his body made the children's eyes widen. Even the teenagers in the center and south looked at Hillman's muscles with envy.
In addition to those nearly perfect muscle lines, Hillman's exposed upper body had knife marks, sword marks, and dozens of various scars. All the children looked at the scars with their eyes shining.
Sword marks, sword marks, this is a man’s medal!
They all admire Hillman very much in their hearts. Hillman, a great Level 6 warrior, a warrior tempered in life and death! He is also an extraordinary person in big cities. And in Wushan Town, he is a great person admired by everyone.
Hillman couldn't help but smile when he saw the children's fiery eyes. He just wanted these children to have admiration and desire in their hearts. In this way, they would be harder and more motivated!
"Another fire." Hillman laughed in his heart, then walked to a giant stone lock, which was three or four hundred pounds.
Hillman grabbed the stone lock with one hand and began to wave it very easily. The three or four hundred pounds of stone lock in Hillman's hands seemed to be made of wood. The children opened their eyes wide and their mouths wide.
"It's too light, Luo Rui, after the training has time, you can do a few larger stone locks." Hillman swung the stone lock and the stone lock flew more than ten meters. "Peng!" He landed heavily next to a big tree, and the ground was shaking. Then Hillman walked to a group of rocks.
"call!"
Hillman took a deep breath, and his muscles were even more visible. Hillman punched one of the blue stones with a punch, and his fist pierced the air. The children next to the sharp whistling sound couldn't help but open their eyes. Hillman's big fist hit the huge bluestone hard.
"Peng!" The heavy and low impact of fists and bluestone made all the children's hearts jump violently.
That's hard bluestone.
The bluestone shook for several times and seven or eight cracks appeared, and finally "puffed" was split in all directions, and Hillman's fist had no scar at all.
"The captain is still that powerful." Luo Rui, one of the other two middle-aged men, said with a smile, and walked towards Hillman at the same time.
Another middle-aged man, "Roger", also came over. Usually, when children exercise the "Qi style", it is time for these three instructors to chat easily. They may pay attention to the fact that the children are not lazy.
Hillman smiled and shook his head: "No, when I was in the army, I worked hard every day and fought bloody battles on the battlefield. Now, I can only loosen my muscles and bones every day, and it is not as passionate as I used to be."
All the children looked at Hillman in admiration.
The huge bluestone actually smashed it into pieces with one punch. What strength is this? The three or four hundred kilograms of stone lock was waving at will. What strength is this?
Hillman turned around and looked at the eyes of the children, and was very satisfied with the children's reaction.
"Remember, even if you don't rely on fighting spirit, you can reach the limit by simply training your body to reach the limit, in theory, you can become a level six warrior! And a level six warrior can easily become an intermediate officer and can easily obtain the fighting spirit cultivation method in the army! Even if you can't become a level six warrior, as long as you become the most ordinary first-level warrior, you are qualified to join the army. Remember, a man who cannot even reach a level one warrior, then he is not a man!" Hillman's face was cold and harsh.
"If you are a man, you should stand up your chest and face any challenges, and you should not be afraid!"
Hearing this sentence, the six or seven-year-old children couldn't help but smile on their faces, and they all forced themselves to laugh. This sentence was Hillman's catchphrase, and this was also a sentence Hillman often said to children.
"You guys stand firm one by one, look at the brothers in the south, and see how they stand?" Hillman scolded.
Those six or seven-year-old children immediately worked hard to stand firm.
After a while, the six or seven-year-old children were shaking, and each of them felt their legs sore, but they gritted their teeth and persevered. After a while, the children fell to the ground and collapsed on the ground.
Hillman's face was still cold, but he nodded secretly in his heart. The performance of these six or seven-year-old children was still very satisfied with him.
Not long after, some of the children around ten years old in the center could not resist and fell to the ground one by one.
"You can hold on as long as you can. I will not force you. But you are not as good as others in the future, and you can only blame yourself." Hillman said coldly.
"Huh?" Luo Rui suddenly looked at the team north in surprise.
At this moment, many of the children in the central team of about ten years old fell down and collapsed on the ground, while the northern team actually had a six-year-old child insisting on it.
"This is Lin Lei's first time to exercise today. He is so powerful!" Luo Rui said in surprise. Roger and Hillman next to him also noticed that Hillman also looked over there. At this moment, there was only a brown-haired boy in the north team insisting on it. The little boy pursed his lips and looked forward with a firm look. His fists were clenched tightly, making his fists even whiter.
A glimmer of surprise appeared in Hillman's eyes.
"Good boy!" Hillman exclaimed in his heart. At the age of six, he could catch up with a child about ten years old in the "Qi style". This qualification can be seen from the perspective of the leopard.
Linley, whose full name is Linley & Baruch, is the eldest son of the Baruch family, the owner of the entire Wushan town. The Baruch family is a very old family that once flourished, but has been passed down for thousands of years. Now there are only three members in the whole family, including the patriarch Hogg & Baruch and two sons. The eldest son Linley & Baruch, is only six years old this year. The youngest son Walton & Baruch, is only two years old. As for the mistress of the Baruch family, he died after giving birth to his youngest son. Linley's grandfather also lost his life in the war in the army.
Lin Lei's legs trembled. Even though his will was firm, his extremely sore muscles were not controlled by him. He finally fell to the ground and sat down.
"Linley, how do you feel?" Hillman walked over with a smile.
Lin Lei grinned and showed his little tiger teeth: "It's nothing, Uncle Hillman." Hillman is the captain of the Baruch family guards and has also grown up watching Lin Lei since he was a child. The two of them are naturally very close.
"Good like a man." Hillman touched Lin Lei's head, and Lin Lei's hair was as messy as straw.
"Hehe." Lin Lei grinned, feeling very happy for Hillman's praise.
...
After resting for a while, he continued to start training. The training level of children aged six or seven is much lighter. The training level of those teenagers is very terrifying.
I saw this group of teenagers, including those children, with their heads and feet resting on flat stones, their whole bodies suspended in the air, completely relying on their waists to hold on.
"The waist, hips, this triangle area." Hillman gestured with his hands at the position of the abdomen. "This area is the center of the entire body. Whether it is speed or strength, the core is this triangle area. This core triangle area is very important."
Hillman said, walking constantly, carefully observing whether each teenager's movements were standard.
"Hit up, don't sag your waist!" Hillman shouted.
Suddenly, many young men immediately tried to thrust their waists towards them. This was the first time Lin Lei did this today. His little head and feet were laid on two flat stones. But at this time, Lin Lei had already felt that his waist was hot and sore.
"Persist, persist, I am the best." Lin Lei encouraged himself in his heart. Lin Lei's physical fitness has been very good since childhood and has almost never been sick. In addition, he is very persevering and performing well is nothing.
"Pu!" The first child fell down.
However, the flat stones used for pillows and feet are only about twenty centimeters high, and children will not suffer any harm when they fall. (Alchemists in the Magnolia continent have formulated the unit of length ‘1 meter = 10 decimeter = 100 cm = 100 cm = 1000 mm’)
"Pu!" "Puu!"... As time goes by, children can't hold on.
Lin Lei clenched his teeth tightly, and he clearly felt that his waist was sore that he almost lost consciousness: "My body is so heavy and I can't hold on anymore. Persist, hold on for a while." At this time, Lin Lei was the only one who insisted on this team from six to eight years old.
When Hillman saw Lin Lei, his eyes couldn't help but look surprised and satisfied.
"Lorry." Hillman shouted suddenly.
"Captain." Luo Rui immediately stood up straight and waited for the order.
Hillman ordered: "Tomorrow you prepare some dyes. When they are doing waist training, put a branch under each person's waist and apply dye to the branches. If anyone relaxes, his waist will touch the branches and dye it on his body, and the training task will be doubled."
"Yes, captain." Luo Rui responded aloud, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he laughed in his heart, "The captain has so many ghost ideas, those kids are going to be miserable."
Not?
The teenagers were all bitter in their faces. Generally speaking, they could still be lazy with slight movements, but once Hillman did this, they would be lazy.
Hillman continued to say coldly: "I can tell you that after a warrior practices Dou Qi, the location where Dou Qi is stored is at the left and right position of a fist below the navel. You should be able to understand that this is also in the core triangle area. You should now understand the importance of training in the core triangle area! This is the core. Once this is not possible, it will be useless to exercise in other locations."
A good teacher is very important to children.
Hillman is a great warrior. He knows the key points of exercise, he knows step by step, and he knows what age should children train to what level. If the level is too high, it may cause the child's body to fail.
"Fighting Qi?"
Hearing this word, the teenagers and the children resting beside each other looked at Hillman with wide eyes.
Those common people are very looking forward to Douqi, which is Lin Lei, the son of this declining nobleman, who is also very yearning for Douqi.
"thump!"
Lin Lei himself finally couldn't resist it, but he still supported the ground with his arms and fell slowly.
"So comfortable!" Lin Lei felt his sore waist resting, and he felt a numb feeling. The feeling penetrated deep into his muscles, as if deep into his bones. The comfortable little Lin Lei narrowed his eyes slightly.
"How many of them fell?" Lin Lei suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.
All the children in the team aged six to eight have fallen, and even the children around ten in the central government have fallen by half, but the 14 or 15-year-old boys are all persevering. Hillman still has a cold face and said:
"You all have to remember that the body is like a container and a wine glass. And Dou Qi is like wine! How much wine can be stored in a wine glass depends on the size of the wine glass. Similarly... a person's ultimate achievement in practicing Dou Qi also depends on the degree of physical exercise. If the body is too weak, even if there is a powerful Dou Qi Secret Code, he cannot bear much Dou Qi in his body and cannot become a powerful warrior." Hillman told these children many important messages.
Many warriors, because no one taught them when they were young, only understood the relationship between physical strength and fighting spirit in the later stages. However, when they were too old, they had no effect in exercising.
Many predecessors have accumulated experiences by taking many detours. Through repeated teachings, Hillman quietly engraved those important experiences deeply in the minds of this group of children like the spring breeze and rain. Hillman does not want these children to take detours again.
...
After experiencing the coordinated exercises of the waist, legs, shoulders, back, etc., in all parts of the body, almost all the children sat on the ground. Hillman's training level was arranged very appropriately.
"This morning exercise ends here," Hillman announced.
The training in Wushan Town is regular, divided into two times a day, one is morning exercise and the other is evening exercise.
"Uncle Hillman, tell us stories." As soon as the children disbanded, they immediately started shouting. After every morning exercise, Hillman would tell these children about stories that happened in the military or elsewhere on the mainland.
Children who grew up in small towns are eager for the outside world and the military.
Hillman smiled slightly. Telling stories to the children was also a way to make the children feel motivated to train. Hillman always believed that only by making children proactively desire to practice can children achieve higher achievements.
"Today, I will tell you about the four ultimate warriors in the legendary continent!" Hillman also had a hint of admiration on his face.
The children's ears suddenly stood tall and their eyes lit up. Lin Lei, who was also sitting on the ground, felt his heart hop harshly: "The four legendary ultimate warriors?" Lin Lei couldn't help but raise his ears and looked at Hillman tightly.
Hillman had a hint of excitement in his eyes, but his voice was still stable: "On our continent, there were four ultimate warriors thousands of years ago. These four ultimate warriors all have the strength that can be comparable to the dragon. They can roam among millions of soldiers alone and easily take the heads of the enemy generals! These four ultimate warriors are the dragon blood warrior, the purple flame warrior, the tiger pattern warrior and the undead warrior!"
"The warriors are divided into nine levels. I, just a sixth-level warrior, can easily slap the huge rocks and kick the big trees! And the nine-level warrior, even in our Finlay Kingdom, is probably the strongest. Above the nine-level warriors, there are four ultimate warriors. They surpass the nine-level warriors, at the peak of the warriors, belong to the legendary Sacred Domain powerhouses!" Hillman's eyes were full of longing, "The legendary Sacred Domain powerhouses can melt the huge icebergs, roar the endless seas angrily, collapse the towering mountains, collapse the city with a population of millions, and let endless meteorites drop down the sky! They are invincible existences and supreme existences."
Silence, all the children were stunned.
Hillman pointed to the mountain northeast.
"Look at the Wushan, isn't it big?" Hillman said with a smile.
Those who heard Hillman say so much just now were already shocked. They nodded repeatedly. Wushan was a thousand meters high and several thousand meters long. In the eyes of humans, they were indeed a giant.
"But the powerful people in the Holy Land can destroy this Wushan in the blink of an eye." Hillman said very surely.
Only a level six warrior can destroy a huge rock with one palm, but the powerful people in the Holy Realm can destroy a mountain. This made all the children grow up and their eyes widen, and they all tremble in their hearts. Deep in their hearts, they were filled with fear of the powerful people in the Holy Realm, and at the same time they were full of expectations and desires.
"Destroy a mountain?" Hillman's words shocked Lin Lei very much.
Not long after, a group of children went back one by one with shock, while Hillman, Rory and Roger left the last time. Watching the large group of children leaving in groups of three or five, Hillman smiled on his face.
"These children are the hope for the future of our Wushan Town." Hillman said with a smile.
Luo Rui and Roger also looked at this group of children. The children of ordinary people in almost every place on the mainland have been training hard since childhood. Seeing these children, Luo Rui and Roger also seemed to see their childhood and youth.
"Captain Hillman, you are much more powerful than the 'Old Porter' back then. With your training, I believe that our Wushan Town will become the most powerful among the dozen or so towns around." Luo Rui sighed.
The strength of the teacher determines the future of a place.
"By the way, captain, how do you know that the four ultimate warriors of the Holy Realm are so powerful?" Luo Rui suddenly asked curiously.
Hillman smiled embarrassedly: "I don't know how powerful this is to the four ultimate warriors. After all, they are legendary characters. No one has seen them for many years."
"You don't know, you're still cheating on the child?" Rory and Roger were speechless.
Hillman smiled slightly: "Although I don't know much about the power of the four ultimate warriors, I know... the Holy Magician, that is, the magician who has reached the Holy Realm. They can cast taboo magic to destroy hundreds of thousands of troops and destroy a city. The Holy Magician is so powerful, it is estimated that the Holy Realm warriors are not much different."
"What's more, telling children this is to make them feel more motivated. Haven't you seen the longing expressions of children after hearing the story?" Hillman smiled proudly.
Luo Rui and Roger could only be speechless.
...
"Goodbye, Lei."
"Goodbye Hadley."
After saying goodbye to his good friend "Hadley", Lin Lei walked towards his house alone. After walking for a while, he saw the Baruke family's mansion.
The Baruke family's mansion covers an extremely vast area, with moss, ivy and other plants wrapped around the courtyard wall. The courtyard wall is full of traces of time. The Baruke family mansion in Wushan Town is the ancestral home of the Baruke family. An ancestral home that has been passed down for 5,000 years has been continuously repaired for thousands of years and still stands here.
However, with the decline of the family, the economic situation of the Baruke family was getting worse and worse, and they could only rely on their capital in the end. More than a hundred years ago, the contemporary patriarch of the Baruke family decided that the entire family members only lived in the front yard mansion that occupied one-third of the entire mansion. As for the courtyard behind, etc., they would no longer be repaired and maintained. This saved a lot of money.
But even so, nowadays, Linley's father, "Hog & Baruch", needs to sell some items in the family frequently to maintain the household use.
The tall door of the mansion is open.
"Sanctuary Warrior?" Lin Lei thought while walking, "Can I become a Sacred Warrior in the future?"
"Linley." Hillman's voice sounded from behind. Hillman, Rory and Roger, the three last people who left, also caught up.
Lin Lei turned around and looked at it and immediately said happily: "Uncle Hillman!"
Then Lin Lei took a deep breath, looked up at Hillman, and asked nervously and expectantly: "Uncle Hillman, do you think the Sacred Warrior is so powerful? Then, is it possible for me to become a Sacred Warrior?" Lin Lei had the same desire as most children in his heart.
Hillman was stunned, and Roger next to him was also stunned.
Sacred Warrior?
"These children are really dared to think. There are tens of millions of residents in the entire country of the Finlay Kingdom, but even so, there has not been a powerful man in the holy realm for hundreds of years. If you want to become a powerful man in the holy realm..." Hillman knew very well in his heart, the difficulty of becoming a powerful man in the holy realm.
That requires hard practice since childhood, family training, personal talent, and opportunities... etc., it is not so easy for a strong man in the holy realm to become.
Hillman knew very well how much hardship he suffered in order to become a Level 6 warrior, and how many times he had lingered between life and death. Level 6 warriors are so difficult, not to mention Level 7, Level 8, and Level 9. As for the Holy Realm, Hillman is afraid that he would dare to think about it when he was dreaming.
But facing Lin Lei's longing gaze.
"Linley, Uncle Hillman believes in you, you will definitely become a Sanctuary." Hillman stared at Linley and said firmly. Hillman's words of encouragement made Linley's eyes lit up suddenly, and longing also arose in Linley's heart!
This desire is unprecedentedly hot!
"Uncle Hillman, can I train with the central team tomorrow?" Lin Lei suddenly said.
Hillman, Rory and Roger couldn't help but look at Lin Lei in surprise.
"My father said that if you want to become a superior person, you must work harder than others." Lin Lei couldn't help but imitate his father's tone.
Hillman suddenly laughed. He also saw Lin Lei's training today. Although Lin Lei was only six years old, his physical fitness was as good as a nine-year-old child. He nodded and smiled, "Okay, but don't retreat at that time. You know, this is not a day or two, and the days will be long in the future."
Lin Leigh raised his head and smiled confidently: "Uncle Hillman, watch it."
Chapter completed!
