A New Training Program

After reviewing his memories, Lin Chenxing left the lounge, beaming.

Lin Chenxing's mood had changed so quickly that Ma Tianxing could only stare in amazement. Curious, he asked, "Chenxing, did you think of something good? You suddenly look so happy."

Lin Chenxing touched his cheek and smiled. "I thought of something good. As long as we make good use of it, we can stay at the top for good. We won't have to worry about a small organization like the Black and White Clown at all." As he spoke, a glint of ambition flashed in his eyes.

Lin Chenxing's baffling words only left Ma Tianxing more confused. He could only say helplessly, "I'm getting old. I can't keep up with the way you young people think."

Only then did Lin Chenxing realize he might have said too much. He waved his hand and said, "I was just speaking emotionally. Don't take it seriously. Next, I'm going to study that Guidance Technique carefully and create one that suits me best. Director Ma, you can give it a try too. Only what suits you best can improve your strength fastest."

Ma Tianxing didn't think much of it. "All right. Give it a try. Once I bring the team back, I'll do my best to help you handle as much of the paperwork as I can."

Three days later, Gao Zheng and He Qishun were still asleep, but the fear on their faces had given way to calm.

That same day, Peng Tianwen recovered from his complete state of detachment. As soon as he heard the news, Lin Chenxing immediately told him to come to his office.

Peng Tianwen was in fairly good spirits. He was also curious about why Lin Chenxing had suddenly summoned him. Was he going to reward him or reprimand him? But as a child, he very much hoped it would be a reward.

When Peng Tianwen arrived outside Lin Chenxing's office, he peeked in through the window. He saw Lin Chenxing writing furiously, his brow slightly furrowed. He didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

Peng Tianwen nervously knocked on the door and went in. When Lin Chenxing saw him, his furrowed brow relaxed, and he smiled. "You're here? Come on in and sit down."

Seeing Lin Chenxing's expression, Peng Tianwen relaxed too. He sat quietly on the sofa and waited for Lin Chenxing to tell him what to do.

Lin Chenxing quickly finished what he was working on, tidied it up, and set it aside. Then he looked at Peng Tianwen and asked, "After using your ability last time, did you have any thoughts?"

Peng Tianwen sighed. "I'm still too weak. If I hadn't passed out, so many of us wouldn't have died."

Lin Chenxing said in displeasure, "What's a kid like you sighing for? Besides, you did very well this time. There's room for improvement, but that doesn't mean you didn't do your best."

With that, Lin Chenxing took out a set of notes he had put together and handed them to Peng Tianwen. "Here. This contains some of the information we got from the Black and White Clown about Psychic Masters. A Psychic Master is someone who uses Spiritual Force, like you. The rest is a method for training your Spiritual Force that I came up with based on these notes. You can take it home and give it a try."

Actually, after recalling Swallowed Star, Lin Chenxing couldn't remember some of the finer details, but he still had a general impression of certain things. For instance, one way to train one's mental strength was to control more and more weapons, ensuring that each weapon could strike with the same power as when controlled alone. Practicing this way was the key to developing Spiritual Force.

What Lin Chenxing could provide for this purpose were his jade-like Bamboo Leaves. There was no need to worry about running out; as long as they had enough nutrients, more would grow after the leaves were picked.

So Lin Chenxing took a bag filled with Bamboo Leaves from his desk drawer and said to Peng Tianwen, "There are over a hundred Bamboo Leaves in here. Start by trying to control them. Once you've mastered that, come back and ask me for the next stage of training."

Peng Tianwen looked at Lin Chenxing with admiration and nodded repeatedly. Ever since Lin Chenxing had woken up from his coma, Peng Tianwen had watched him grow at an astonishing rate into one of the strongest people at the base. He had also heard about Lin Chenxing's accomplishments. So he had no doubts about the methods Lin Chenxing suggested. He was certain that this training method would work exactly as intended.

Afterward, Lin Chenxing told Peng Tianwen to go home and get some rest. He should fully restore his Spiritual Force before starting his training. Peng Tianwen, of course, did as he was told.

Seeing the boy listen to him so obediently filled Lin Chenxing with genuine satisfaction.

Before, he had indeed become too timid, afraid of leading the base in the wrong direction. But now, with his extensive memories and familiarity with the future, Lin Chenxing had regained his confidence.

He began to model his Xingyan Martial Artist Training Program on the methods of the War God Training Camp he remembered.

First was the Gravity Chamber, which they didn't have. Instead, they would use the Monster Combat Chamber to put the Martial Artists under pressure. They would capture monsters of different levels and keep them in separate rooms. Whenever a Martial Artist chose this training method, they would have to challenge a monster one level above their own. They could be rescued after holding out for ten minutes. Anyone who killed a monster would earn the right to attend the Base High-Level Meeting, and would receive a substantial increase in resources. To use the chamber again outside their regular allocation, they would have to go out and kill monsters: ten kills earned one use. Of two combat sessions, only the better result would count.

Next was the Trial Tower, which they also didn't have, so they would replace it with the Challenge Chamber. The base would assign six Martial Artists of each level, arranging them to enter in groups of one, two, and three. Challengers could start with Martial Artists at their own level. Their results would be recorded, and the more levels they overcame, the more resources they would receive. The conditions for extra use were the same as for the combat chamber.

Third was the points ranking. All Primary Battle Generals and lower-ranked Martial Artists would be ranked once a month based on their results in the combat and challenge chambers. Holding out for ten minutes against a monster in the combat chamber earned one point, while killing it earned ten. In the Challenge Chamber, defeating an opponent of the same level earned one point, and defeating an opponent one level higher doubled the points. Each month, the top three would receive three uses of both chambers; those ranked fourth through tenth would receive two, and everyone from eleventh place onward would receive just one.

Finally, there would be instruction. Intermediate Battle Generals and above would teach classes and provide one-on-one or group guidance. Martial Artists would be assigned guidance based on their rankings. The top ten would receive one-on-one instruction, while everyone else could only attend group classes.

Of course, the standards for the entire training program would rise as the base's overall strength increased.

Once the training program was finalized, Lin Chenxing immediately convened a Base High-Level Meeting to discuss its details. In the end, it passed unanimously.

At that moment, Xingyan Base finally embarked on the path to rapid growth.
