Sharpening the Claws
"Iron Blood!" roared a burly man who was 2.2 meters tall and whose waist was as thick as a wooden barrel.
"Iron-blooded!" "Iron-blooded!"...
The deafening shouts startled Zhang Xingfeng and his companions, who were standing nearby. A surge of pride welled up within them, which they could no longer suppress.
Looking down at the burly men below, each as strong as a bull, and then at their leader, Black Bear Iron Head, who was even stronger than a bear, Zhang Xingfeng's confidence soared. With such a valiant army, who could stand against them!
"Black Bear" Iron Head shouted, "Brothers, we have the same elixir again! Do you want some?"
Zhang Xingfeng was suddenly shocked. "This big guy is too vulgar. How can he talk like that?"
However, Xiao Lin and Kuanglong appeared extremely excited, the gleam in their eyes revealing their fondness for these almost savage warriors. Zhang Xingfeng then looked at Xiao Lin's nearly two-meter height and Kuanglong's arms, as thick as his own thighs, and understood why they were so excited.
Upon hearing this, all the Iron Blood Army warriors' eyes lit up. A elixir! An elixir that could rapidly increase one's power! Of course they wanted it! Last time, all the warriors fought to obtain the elixir, and only two hundred strong warriors managed to get it. Some of the warriors who almost got the elixir had been regretting it ever since. Now, hearing this news, they were all roaring with joy!
"Roar..."
"Ah..."
"Ah..."...
Strange roars of wild beasts echoed across the training ground, the sound waves causing the surrounding giant trees to tremble, and excitement was evident on the faces of every warrior.
"Alright, in that case, squad leaders, come up and collect them, 50 per squad!" Iron Head's roar quickly echoed across the training ground. Zhang Xingfeng was startled, looked at the guy who was even bigger than a bear, and thought to himself, "This guy's voice is really loud!"
One by one, the squad leaders ran up excitedly. The two hundred squad leaders were not excited for themselves, but for their brothers. They were the victors of the last competition and had already taken the elixir. This time, it was all for their brothers. The increase in their brothers' strength meant the increase in the strength of their Iron Blood Army, wasn't it?
Very quickly, extremely quickly, in perfect order, nearly ten thousand spirit pills were distributed to all the warriors in a short time, and each warrior was flushed with excitement.
Zhang Xingfeng said to Xiao Lin beside him, "Junior brother, they used to practice a kind of masculine Internal Cultivation!" Zhang Xingfeng easily observed that these iron-blooded warriors were all incredibly strong, and they were also practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill passed down by Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin nodded, and Zhang Xingfeng continued, "In that case, I will teach you the Mysterious Yang Art. The Mysterious Yang Art is much more effective than the Nine Yang Divine Skill. It can be said to be the purest cultivation method of Mysterious Yang Art -type Internal Cultivation, and it is also the easiest to break through to the First-grade realm."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin, delighted by the good fortune, immediately asked to learn the Mysterious Yang Art from Zhang Xingfeng. Zhang Xingfeng, of course, immediately passed it on to him. The speed at which two cultivators transfer Cultivation Method is extremely fast, provided, of course, that a piece of jade is wasted.
Zhang Xingfeng passed on the Mysterious Yang Art to the warriors of the Iron Blood Army for two reasons: firstly, to enhance his own strength, but also, in fact, to pursue another dream of his in the future!
"Iron Head, after all the brothers have taken the elixir, gather all the squad leaders together. I have something important to announce," Xiao Lin said to Iron Head Tou, who was in a state of excitement.
"Okay, boss, I got it!" Iron Head's voice was very deep, and his vocal cords were obviously very thick.
Zhang Xingfeng watched as the Iron Blood Army warriors swallowed the elixirs, his heart filled with excitement. His two months of hard work had been a success. "Ten thousand Innate Master, who can compare to me? Even if Li Tianxiang has fifty thousand Innate Master, they are the result of a thousand years of training in the Taihang Mountain. How can they compare to me! Haha..." Suddenly, a surge of pride filled his chest.
Each squad leader watched intently as their brothers absorbed the spiritual pills, not daring to be distracted for even a moment; this was the most crucial moment. At this instant, the entire training ground was utterly silent.
An hour later, the first Iron Blood Army Warrior opened his eyes, stood up, and his face showed obvious excitement. Clearly, his skills had greatly improved. The squad leader beside him smiled and nodded, but remained silent. Following the first warrior's success, one after another, warriors stood up...
Finally, all the warriors succeeded and completely absorbed the elixir.
Iron Head roared, "Anyone who hasn't reached the Innate Realm yet! If you haven't, shout it out!"
Silence reigned below.
Zhang Xingfeng's Spiritual Sense immediately covered the training ground, quickly scanning all the Iron Blood Army warriors. A smile immediately spread across his face as he said to Xiao Lin beside him, "You noticed it too, they've all reached the Innate Realm. This elixir would probably only reach around Sixth Rank for ordinary people, but for the Iron Blood Army warriors, it's only Fifth Rank. It's really impressive!"
Xiao Lin said proudly, "Of course, look who trained them! My brother trained them. Iron Head may not be good at anything else, but he's absolutely amazing at training people. He's always leading them around lifting huge rocks!"
Zhang Xingfeng chuckled and said, "Oh, Giant Rock, it seems that when I first met you, you were lifting a giant rock?"
Xiao Lin laughed and said, "This, this is a tradition of our Primordial Era. Strength-type warriors train their strength by lifting huge rocks. Now I don't need to lift huge rocks anymore. With the Chaos Power, lifting huge rocks is no longer a challenge." As he spoke, he even showed a proud look.
Zhang Xingfeng was also in a good mood at the time and responded with a smile.
"Alright, junior brother, go and pass on the Profound Mysterious Yang Art to them. Once they've mastered Mysterious Yang Art, our revenge will begin!" A cold glint flashed in Zhang Xingfeng's eyes.
Xiao Lin sneered, "The Li Family? Hmph, with such powerful warriors as the Iron Blood Army, what are they?" Xiao Lin's confidence was at an all-time high, and Zhang Xingfeng thought so too. What's most important in a battle? Momentum!
"In that case, I'll leave the rest to my junior brother. I'll just watch from the sidelines!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly said.
Xiao Lin paused for a moment, but then smiled. Of course, wasn't the Iron Blood Army Warrior's Profound Mysterious Yang Art about to be passed on to him? Besides this, what else could it be? Zhang Xingfeng would definitely personally handle the revenge against the Li Family. And he figured he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Hehe, senior brother, you really are something. Since that's the case, I'll agree!" Xiao Lin seemed very generous and didn't mind at all.
Kuanglong suddenly said, "Brother Xiao Lin, can I participate in this revenge against the Li Family?" Kuanglong really wanted to have some fun.
Zhang Xingfeng laughed loudly, "Good, good! With Brother Kuanglong taking action, what's there to be afraid of?" Zhang Xingfeng was now even more confident. He had experts like Xiao Lin and Kuanglong on his side, while the only ones in the Li Family who could compare to them were Li Tianxiang and Yuchi Gong, whose involvement was unknown.
But I still have myself! Who can stop me?
Zhang Xingfeng had a hint of arrogance on his face. He looked back at the Iron Blood Army warriors who were excitedly sparring with each other and smiled. "These guys, as soon as their skills improve, they immediately want to spar with others. They're really..." Zhang Xingfeng thought for a long time but didn't know how to describe these guys. To put it nicely, they were warriors; to put it bluntly, they were ferocious beasts!
With such a group of fierce and beast-like warriors, what is there to worry about? As soon as the Mysterious Yang Art is learned, we can take action. Zhang Xingfeng looked at the sky and murmured, "Li Family, you should know that I am not someone you can provoke, even if you have the power of Taihang Mountain."
The training ground was filled with the incessant howls of wild beasts, as they sharpened their claws in the final preparations before attacking. Once their claws were gleaming, the prey's doom was nigh!
