It was completely different from the energetic and passionate atmosphere at Planet Aixin.
The base planet of the Sixth Branch is much more solemn here.
The drill ground here is much more spacious.
It is also a gathering place for all sorts of aliens.
But compared to those greenhorns at Planet Aixin...
The ranks here exude a much more somber and imposing atmosphere!
They were all dressed in the new Battle Suit of Frieza Force, with black and white armor.
They were training in perfect unison!
Every move he makes is skillful and adept!
Around the group, Tien Shinhan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and a blank expression.
Chiaotzu floated quietly behind him, their small faces equally solemn.
Unless they need to go out and show their faces like Krillin, they don't need to wear those standard Battle Suit.
So they're still wearing their martial arts uniforms from Earth.
Of course, they all bear the insignia of Frieza Force.
He appeared to be taking a casual stroll, but in reality, he was fully aware of the movements of every soldier on the field!
Occasionally, he would stop, extend his finger, and point it in mid-air at a soldier whose movements were slightly distorted.
That way, it can be easily corrected.
This kind of monotonous training is the daily routine for the soldiers at the base.
The bell rang to signal the end of the drill.
On the drill ground, the soldiers did not scatter like birds or beasts.
A considerable number of the soldiers still maintained their ranks.
Their eyes were all focused on Tien Shinhan.
Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu approached them.
"How?"
"Tien Shinhan asked, puzzled."
"Want to do more practice?"
A slight commotion arose in the queue.
Finally, a burly warrior with a lizard's head mustered his courage and took a step forward.
"Teach... instructor!"
He nervously swallowed.
"We... we want to know how we can become as strong as you!"
This question reflects the sentiments of everyone present.
Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu stared at each other in bewilderment.
I understood what these guys meant.
Tien Shinhan looked at the group of soldiers who remained in the same spot; their numbers were not small.
What they all exuded was a desire to become stronger!
After a moment's thought, Tien Shinhan spoke up, "It seems you all think the same thing!"
"All right!"
"Since you all want to know, then I'll give you a little lesson."
"Line up again!"
At a single command, the previously somewhat scattered ranks instantly became orderly.
Tien Shinhan strolled slowly to the front of the line.
Before I teach you, I'll ask you a question.
"What do you consider to be powerful?"
The soldiers looked at each other, and for a moment no one dared to answer.
"Is it because you have a higher Power Level rating?" Tien Shinhan's tone carried a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.
"Or perhaps a stronger body and tougher armor?"
He stopped and turned to face the crowd.
"I'm telling you, that's not it."
"You rely too much on cold, hard Scouter data and have too much faith in your innate physical strength."
"To truly become stronger, the first step is to break free from the shackles you've placed on yourself!"
"You all don't know how to utilize the most precious resource within your bodies."
Tien Shinhan held up one finger and tapped his chest.
That's 'qi'.
"Gas?"
"What is that?"
A barely suppressed commotion and whispers arose within the ranks.
These warriors from all over the universe have a simple and brutal fighting philosophy: bigger fists, faster speed, and stronger energy waves.
One soldier asked, "Instructor, when you say 'spirit,' do you mean Power Level?"
Tien Shinhan nodded, "For now, you can understand it this way!"
His gaze swept across the ranks, finally settling on the lizard-headed warrior who was the first to step forward and ask a question.
This guy was the most muscular and had the strongest aura among the group.
"You, step forward." Tien Shinhan pointed at him.
"Instructor, what are your orders?"
"Attack me with all your might, using your strongest power."
As he spoke, he instructed everyone else to turn on their Scouter.
"Drink it!"
The lizard-headed creature roared!
His fist, enveloped in visible, violent energy, slammed out!
Just as this punch was about to touch Tien Shinhan.
He slowly raised his right hand.
He only extended one index finger.
He attached a tiny wisp of "qi" to his fingertips.
He effortlessly blocked the lizard-headed warrior's fist.
He looked at the others, "Did you notice anything?"
"Does the Scouter show my Power Level data as lower than his?"
The other soldiers nodded.
"This is actually the effect of controlling Qi, which is controlling Power Level!"
He looked at the lizard-headed warrior with a horrified expression and gently pressed his fingertip forward.
An invisible force erupted from his fingertips in an instant!
The lizard-headed warrior was instantly pushed aside and staggered backward, only managing to regain his balance with the help of the other warriors!
The soldiers' faces were filled with anticipation.
"Please, instructor, teach us!"
We should also learn about Qi!
Looking at the pairs of eyes around him filled with fervor and anticipation, Tien Shinhan slowly closed his eyes.
"Qi originates from your body, and also from your spirit."
It is everywhere, yet nowhere to be found.
"To perceive it, the first step is to calm down."
"Forget your muscles, forget your bones, forget your prized fighting instincts."
"Focus all your attention on your own bodies and feel that most subtle, primal flow of life."
The sound of Tien Shinhan flowed like a clear spring, soothing the restlessness in everyone's hearts.
The soldiers followed suit, clumsily closing their eyes.
But even as night fell, it seemed that nothing had been found...
Many soldiers were already showing signs of frustration.
Tien Shinhan slowly opened his eyes.
This is just the beginning.
"A week from now, I will test your understanding of what you have learned today. If you can meet my standards..."
"Then you can proceed to the next stage of cultivation!"
