"Very good. From now on, you are free to do as you please. You can do horse stance, sit cross-legged, run, practice balance, or go to rest or eat, it's all up to you." Jiang Jie turned and left.
The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you.
He can provide these people with the best conditions and help them with breath control, but he can't devote himself to them as wholeheartedly as he would to his own disciples. Their future achievements depend on their own efforts.
There are no shortcuts to learning martial arts; you can only take it one step at a time.
Even someone like Jiang Jie, with the game pod as a huge cheat code, still needs to work hard and practice thousands of times to make even a little progress.
Just like now, while instructing these new recruits, he also seizes every opportunity to cultivate, practicing Taijiquan or the Crane- Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand. Occasionally, flies or birds fly by, and Jiang Jie casually waves his hand to catch them, ensuring they remain alive.
He felt that his progress in Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand was probably faster than that in mastering the Pegasus Meteor Finger and the Thirty-Six Dragon-Subduing Palms. He believed he would soon achieve "some minor success" in the art.
As night deepened, Jiang Jie returned to Fenris Keep and found Sir Harold.
"Tell General Marcus, General Dagran, and Earl Lawrence that the Gnoll, Worg, and giant bears on this island should not be exterminated; leave them alive," Jiang Jie instructed, pointing to a small island closest to Fenris Isle.
"This island? This is the largest island besides Fenris Isle! It has the most Gnoll and Worg! My lord, why do you keep this island?" Harold was completely baffled.
How can one justify keeping ferocious beasts and man-eating monsters on their own territory?
"Training troops," Jiang Jie said calmly.
The Fenris Isles are far from the battlefield, and the training of new recruits cannot be without real combat experience. The Warrior will definitely be hesitant to go all out in their sparring sessions. Therefore, Jiang Jie decided to leave the most difficult island to the Fenris People's Army for them to undergo a bloody and fiery trial!
Only soldiers who have experienced the baptism of fire and life-or-death battles can survive on the battlefield!
Jiang Jie didn't want his carefully selected recruits to suffer heavy losses on their first appearance before the world!
"I've heard there are thousands of Gnoll on this island? Is it Gnoll lair? And hundreds of Worg, as well as a huge number of forest wolves? Let's call it Wolf Island. Every soldier under my command must become a wolf... no, they must become tigers that hunt wolves!" Jiang Jie's voice was calm, yet full of confidence.
He planned to send all the new recruits to Wolf Island, where they would fight against Gnoll, Worg, and other wild beasts on their own, build simple barracks and fortifications, learn to cooperate, learn to rely on each other, and also learn not to depend on anyone!
The day when all the Gnoll and Worg on Wolf Island are wiped out will be the day when the Fenris People's Army officially makes its debut on the stage of Lordaeron.
Jiang Jie believed that this day would not be far off, at least not as far as half a year.
Perhaps three months, or even less, would be enough.
After dinner, Jiang Jie returned to his room and continued his medicinal bath.
He had Ivan buy a large quantity of herbs for him beforehand and have them delivered here, and then had wooden tubs prepared and hot water boiled.
The herbs purchased from the mage district are too expensive, Jiang Jie has issued an order: to purchase all kinds of herbs on a long-term basis, at prices on par with the herbal shops and alchemy shops in the mage district.
The Fenris Isles are lush with vegetation and have abundant wild herbs with excellent medicinal properties. Soldiers can collect some herbs while clearing out Gnoll and Worg, and refugees occasionally gather herbs while cultivating farmland.
Returning to Lordaeron to sell would be too troublesome, wasting time and incurring shipping costs. Given the same price, it would naturally be preferable to sell to Jiang Jie Jiang Jie, after all, he is the ruler of these archipelagos.
They were genuinely worried that Jiang Jie would make things difficult for them! They weren't worried about running out of herbs, but rather about not having enough. This was because Jiang Jie not only intended to use them himself, but also planned to provide them as welfare to the Fenris People's Army. Only with the medicinal baths could the recruits' training speed be guaranteed.
Of course, it's impossible for everyone to enjoy medicinal baths every day; even with his immense wealth, Jiang Jie couldn't afford it. Distribution must be based on cultivation progress and battle merits.
All of these require a well-established and rigorous system, and the most experienced in this regard is, of course, the AI Xiao Feng, which possesses a vast amount of knowledge about the Milky Way galaxy over the past 35 centuries.
In fact, even the training program for new recruits was handled entirely by Xiao Feng.
When to train, what to train, what martial arts to practice, and when to take a medicinal bath for the best effect—all these things must be carefully considered. Jiang Jie's brain capacity is truly insufficient; Xiao Feng is the most professional!
The next day, a full day, Jiang Jie finally completed the recruitment of new soldiers.
Of the 100 new recruits, 1 has a five-star rating, 7 have four-star ratings, and the rest have three-star ratings.
That's already pretty good!
According to Xiao Feng, in some small sects, having one disciple with five-star aptitude is basically enough to train them to become the future sect leader. Even in a large sect like Shaolin Temple, there aren't many disciples with five-star aptitude. Every one of them, once they grow up, can become a future elder!
Jiang Jie had the idea of establishing his own school, but according to Xiao Feng, in the Milky Way in the 35th century, only martial arts masters who had reached the Xiantian Realm were qualified to open a martial arts school and teach disciples. Only Martial Dao Grandmaster were qualified to establish their own school.
Major sects like Shaolin and Wudang even have Martial Arts Grandmaster can suppress planets, and have produced Martial Arts Myth of crossing the Void and exploring the universe. Jiang Jie is far from being one of them.
But if one day he becomes Martial Dao Grandmaster, establishes his own school, and spreads Chinese martial arts throughout the world, then those he is training now will be his first disciples and the backbone of the school!
Jiang Jie placed his hopes on these new recruits. He would not take on any disciples yet, only teaching them some basic martial arts. They would not be able to learn more sophisticated martial arts.
Only when he is truly ready to take on disciples will he impart more advanced and superior martial arts, such as Taijiquan and Sword and sword, or the Yue Family Spear.
Martial arts training must be done step by step. Without several months of honing their skills, these new recruits will be useless, and their glory will be a long way off.
Jiang Jie guided each of them with his aura, and then taught Xiao Feng the most basic training methods several times to make sure everyone understood. After that, he left Fenris Isle and returned to Lordaeron.
At his suggestion, a meeting convened by Princess Calia has begun.
However, as soon as Jiang Jie arrived at the palace gate, he saw an Rage Paladin.
Highlord Mograine, Darion's father, has been waiting for a long time!
