"Next, I will teach you a sword technique specially created for you, called Foundation Establishment Sword Art. It integrates body tempering, energy circulation, offensive and defensive techniques, footwork, movement skills, and combined attack formations, making it adaptable to any combat environment. Watch closely!"
Standing on the cleared ground, Wang Hao held the Shameless Greatsword in one hand and the Profound Mysterious Water Sword in the other, and began to use the Foundation Establishment Sword Art he had just created.
In an instant, a continuous barrage of sword light enveloped Wang Hao's entire body, advancing forward like a tidal wave. The wooden stakes placed in front of him were instantly chopped into wood chips, and even a rockery carved from granite was cut into pieces of rubble by the sword light, the cuts as smooth as mirrors.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Hao finally completed the eighty-one moves of the Foundation Establishment Sword Art. This was the result of his full effort, and its power was quite remarkable.
Unfortunately, this Foundation Establishment Sword Art was not suitable for him, so even though he created it, he could only unleash half of its power at most; otherwise, its power would have been even more terrifying.
Even this 50% power left Yushu and the others dumbfounded. When they came to their senses and realized that this was the martial art they were about to be taught, their eyes lit up with excitement.
Wang Hao then demonstrated the Foundation Establishment Sword Art several times in slow motion, and had Yushu and the others practice along with him, using wooden swords, of course.
After all, these were all weak women who were new to martial arts; to make them practice with real swords was tantamount to suicide.
Fortunately, peach trees are the most abundant crop on Peach Blossom Island. With a little processing, they can be made into excellent peach wood swords, enough for these women to use in the early stages of their cultivation.
Of course, more importantly, Lin Zhennan had not brought the iron ingots and forging tools with him, so he had no way to start forging.
From morning till night, Wang Hao only managed to get these hundreds of women to barely memorize ten forms of the Foundation Establishment Sword Art. Although the progress was slow, it was normal for them to be slow since they were all beginners in martial arts.
However, these women were indeed ruthless. Despite not having much talent in martial arts, they practiced desperately. By the end of the day, almost everyone had blisters on their palms, but not one of them gave up. They simply bandaged their hands with cloths soaked in medicine and continued to practice.
"Alright, that concludes today's training. A medicinal bath has been prepared over there; all of you should soak in it for an Tokiomi before returning to rest."
Looking at the already darkening sky, Wang Hao gestured to the women who were temporarily unable to cultivate due to their injuries to pour the medicinal soup that had been brewing since morning into the pool beside them.
This pool is quite large; it was probably used by Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, to raise fish. It is constructed entirely of piled stones and features cleverly designed water outlets and drainage outlets, both of which are still functional today.
Previously, Wang Hao had people clean out the silt inside, so it could be used as a place for the women to take medicinal baths after their cultivation.
After all, such high-intensity training as that of the women could easily cause them damage, and they would have to use special medicinal baths to alleviate the effects, otherwise they would be ruined sooner or later.
The prescription for this medicinal bath was created by him by combining several prescriptions from the External Training Golden Bell Shield, the medical skills inherited from the Eastern Heretic, and the prescription for the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill, and he had also deduced it using his Dao Comprehension Function.
It's the most cost-effective formula, and it's easy to prepare with inexpensive medicinal materials, making it perfect for training large numbers of people to cultivate.
But what happened next left Wang Hao completely dumbfounded, or rather, thoroughly entertained.
The women obeyed without hesitation and took off their clothes, entering the pool without any regard for Wang Hao, a grown man, watching from the side.
Having crawled out of Hell themselves, why would they care about such formalities?
They no longer see themselves as women, but as a group of avengers.
Avengers seeking revenge against the Japanese pirates!
"Get some rest, and continue your cultivation tomorrow!"
Suppressing his embarrassment, Wang Hao gave a few words of advice and quickly left, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be unable to resist turning into a werewolf and being pounced on.
These women who were spared by the Japanese pirates must have possessed a certain level of beauty; after all, those with average or unattractive appearances would have been brutally murdered long ago.
With so many beautiful women gathered together, how could Wang Hao, a man full of vigor and passion, possibly resist?
So we had no choice but to retreat quickly!
After retreating, Wang Hao did not rest. Instead, he went to a secluded place and began practicing the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle with the Shameless Greatsword in hand.
However, he only practiced the starting move of the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle, the Two Armies Facing Off, or more accurately, a modified version of that move.
Previously, when dealing with the Japanese pirate leader, he had tried to incorporate the Explosive Force power technique into the Two Armies Facing Off, and the effect was surprisingly good. With one strike, he shattered the Saber Qi that the Japanese pirate leader had gathered on his longsword, and even the longsword was sent flying.
This proves that incorporating Explosive Force into martial arts is feasible, and he is now perfecting this technique.
That was merely an attempt made in desperation, and it had many flaws. Not only was its power limited, but it also had a significant backlash against itself.
These are all issues that he needs to resolve one by one.
He did not use his Dao Comprehension Function to solve the problem directly, but relied on himself to gradually modify and improve it, because this process itself is a kind of cultivation.
While using the Dao Comprehension Function can solve problems more quickly and without leaving any aftereffects, it also means missing out on many things.
Therefore, he will not use the Dao Comprehension Function unless absolutely necessary and if time permits.
The Explosive Force was unparalleled; each sword strike shattered the stone wall in front of him into countless fragments, which was extremely brutal, and this was exactly the result Wang Hao wanted.
The inherent characteristic of Explosive Force is its explosive nature, like a volcanic eruption, wildly violent and unparalleled.
After cultivating for a full four Tokiomi, Wang Hao finally stopped, looked at the Shameless Greatsword in his hand that resembled a saw, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Looks like you can't hold on much longer!"
When he was forging this greatsword, he was fully expecting to use Grandmaster- level weapon, but now it seems that's clearly not the case.
There was no way around it; his enemies were not only incredibly powerful, but each of them also possessed a divine weapon, all of which were stronger than his Shameless Greatsword.
Although the Shameless Greatsword wasn't completely severed due to its thickness, the blade was left with countless cuts, making the entire sword look like a saw.
Although it doesn't affect its use for the time being, it has a huge impact on my lifespan. I'm afraid I'll have to prepare to change my weapon when I break through to the Super-First-Rate level.
Wang Hao only pondered this for a moment before suppressing it in his mind, and instead began to reconsider the fusion of Explosive Force and the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle.
Clearly, the Explosive Force characteristic is only suitable for the Two Armies Facing Off; other moves would require choosing a different target, and coincidentally, Wang Hao knew about those other targets.
A complete set of body-strengthening techniques, known as the Nine-Character True Art, is passed down among the Jiuli Tribe.
The nine characters of the Nine-Zi Zhen Gong are Exploding, Tough, Shocking, Penetrating, Zhanba and Ganghua, which respectively represent the nine types of strength: Explosive, Drilling, Tenacity, Shock, Penetrating, Cutting, Ba, Gang and Hua. Together they are called the Nine-Zi Zhengong, and Explosive is one of them.
In his previous life in the Primordial World era, because the Bloodline Divine Ability Awakening was of the fire attribute, he mainly cultivated the Explosive Force Instruction, which was most compatible with him.
Of course, this refers to his main cultivation method. He has also dabbled in the other eight cultivation methods, at least knowing their cultivation methods.
Wang Hao then set his sights on the Nine-Character True Art, but...
"Sigh! Looks like I'll have to find a way to get as many martial arts techniques as possible and send them to that girl, Dongfang Bai!"
The Nine-Character True Art is said to have been created by the Great Demon God Chiyou specifically for the people of the Nine Li Tribe. It is profound and complex. Even the Explosive Force Instruction alone required a long time of arduous practice in the previous life of Primordial World prehistoric world before one could even begin to grasp its basics.
That's right, even after more than ten years of arduous cultivation of Primordial World Explosive Force Instruction in his previous life, he had only barely grasped the basics.
This Nine-Character True Art is said to be able to be cultivated all the way up to the Mortal Realm Ninth Layer, and even break through to the Earth Realm stage.
In his previous life in the Primordial World world, Wang Hao, a mere novice at the Mortal Realm First Layer, had already accomplished quite well by cultivating the Explosive Force Instruction to the basics.
Therefore, to comprehend and cultivate the Nine-Character True Art, one would need a large amount of Fortune Points.
According to his estimate, it would be impossible to fully comprehend the Nine-Character True Art without tens of millions of Fortune Points. Even if he only cultivated it to the entry level, he would need at least a thousand Fortune Points, and that's a thousand Fortune Points for each type of internal force.
Moreover, it is said that the nine types of power in the Nine-Character True Art can be completely integrated into one, Wang Hao really cannot imagine the Fortune Points required to comprehend that stage.
"Forget it, let's gather eight thousand Fortune Points first and get a basic understanding of the other eight major forces!"
With a sigh, Wang Hao sheathed his sword and stood still. Now, all he could do was try to collect more martial arts manuals to give to Dongfang Bai in order to gain a large number of Fortune Points.
"However, it still feels a bit lacking in Explosive Force. It seems I need to forge more precious swords to prepare for Yushu and the others."
After thinking it over for a moment, Wang Hao turned around and prepared to go back to rest, since there were still many things to do tomorrow.
Didn't you sleep well last night?
As soon as Wang Hao turned around, he saw Yushu standing not far behind him, holding a towel in her hand, clearly waiting for him to finish his cultivation.
However, the woman didn't look well, clearly indicating she hadn't slept well last night, or perhaps hadn't slept at all.
"I just finished copying those martial arts manuals and brought them here for you to review, my benefactor."
With a gentle smile, Yushu picked up dozens of brand-new books from a small stone stool beside her and handed them to Wang Hao.
"What? You stayed up all night copying these martial arts manuals?"
Wang Hao frowned; this was not the outcome he wanted.
His idea was to let the girl finish copying it within ten days; there was no need to rush.
But who would have thought that this girl would stay up all night and finish copying it all? That's so irresponsible of her health.
After all, this girl hasn't Awakening True Spirit Power, nor does she know any meditation techniques; her energy is limited.
"Yesterday, seeing that you seemed to be in a hurry, I quickly copied it down, removing the useless names as you instructed. Do you see if there are any changes needed?"
Gently brushing a strand of hair from her forehead, Yushu smiled gently as always.
"Let me see. You should go and rest first. You still need to cultivate when it gets Tianming!"
Wang Hao waved his hand, signaling Yushu to go and rest, and then picked up a copied manual to read.
Yushu did not move, still standing in front of Wang Hao, quietly watching Wang Hao flip through the manuals.
Wang Hao also noticed Yushu's stubbornness, so he stopped urging her to leave, because he had made a significant discovery.
"You wrote all of this by yourself?"
Wang Hao looked up at Yushu with surprise and doubt, and he did find something strange in these secret manuals.
"It was indeed done by me alone; no one else was present during the process."
Although she didn't know why Wang Hao asked that question, Yushu still answered seriously.
"Could you tell me why there are subtle differences in the font on the front and back?"
Wang Hao casually flipped open a manual and noticed some differences in the font on the front and back pages. If it were just an isolated case, it wouldn't be so bad, but almost every page had differences between the front and back, which was quite unusual.
Wang Hao had a bold guess in his mind: if this was true, then Yushu's future was limitless.
