Chapter 22: The Magical No. 1
Yang Feng started his first physical training, running on the soft sandy beach under double gravity was not an easy task, but it was also necessary to grit one's teeth and persist, because if you stopped, what awaited you would be a bullet. The mercenaries armed with live ammunition on the island would absolutely not think that wasting a bullet was a waste of resources, on the contrary, they were very willing to waste this bullet, because wasting a bullet brought them two years' tuition for this student, which was 60 million US dollars!
Yang Feng was also very unaccustomed to the double gravity at first, but fortunately he had been paying attention to cultivating his physical strength before, so after a period of time he slowly adapted, although the consumption of physical strength was extremely huge, but because he secretly operated the Nine Yin True Classics' Easy Tendon and Bone Tempering Chapter, his body became even more perfect in this situation.
The Nine Yin Manual was written by Huang Zongxi based on the Daoist Canon. The "Easy Tendon and Bone" chapter recorded in it has an extremely magical effect, not only can improve one's physical quality, make people transform their bodies, but also lay a very good foundation for future cultivation, making people have twice the result with half the effort when cultivating internal energy later on.
Moreover, in the memories left behind by Yang Guo, he repeatedly mentioned the importance of foundation. In his memories, Yang Feng saw that Yang Guo had always regretted not practicing the Easy筋锻Bone chapter well when he was young, and as a result, his foundation was not solid. Although he eventually achieved the Supreme Golden Elixir, he was never able to cultivate the Primordial Infant. If he had cultivated the Primordial Infant, he could have used his own power to help Little Dragon Girl advance to the Golden Elixir stage, and then the two of them could have been together for a thousand years!
Although Yang Feng didn't understand what Jindan and Yuanying were, he also knew the importance of basics from it, so he emphasized basic exercises. In the memories left by Yang Guo, there was a saying that practicing martial arts doesn't need to be as particular about realms like those who practice Taoism, as long as your internal energy reaches a certain level, you will naturally break through to a new realm, and if you want your internal energy to increase more and more, look at your Dantian Zifu.
The dantian zifu is the place where internal energy is stored. The two words "zifu" emphasize a word "fu", what is fu, fu is house, and what is most important for a house, that is foundation! Only when your foundation is well built, can your house be solidly built, can it be high, so that your dantian zifu can hold more internal energy, you can break through to a higher realm!
Yang Feng strongly agreed with this, so from the beginning of his martial arts training, Yang Feng started practicing the Nine Yin True Classics' Easy Tendon and Bone Tempering chapter. Afterwards, he never stopped again. The Easy Tendon and Bone Tempering chapter belongs to dynamic work, not like the internal power required for practicing the Nine Yin True Classics and Nine Yang Divine Work which requires calming one's mind to meditate. Instead, it must be practiced through movement, with greater movement quantities yielding stronger effects from this method. Practicing this mental technique does produce internal power; however, all produced internal power is evenly distributed throughout the body's blood and flesh. Moreover, as practice deepens, the Easy Tendon and Bone Tempering chapter's internal power will penetrate into a person's bone marrow. Only then can one truly transform their body, changing from an acquired constitution to a congenital constitution.
The training of the Black Ice Mercenary Corps was extremely compact, with no spare time. After Yang Feng and his team finished their physical training, they had to learn various knowledge, and before learning, they still had ten minutes to eat breakfast. However, during this period, Yang Feng found that except for their first group, the other six groups of people had more or less reduced in number, apparently because they could not withstand the double gravity and were eliminated. At this time, Yang Feng and his team were relieved to have been assigned to Karl's group, and Karl was indeed not as cruel as he said, but only taught what needed to be taught and left everything else up to themselves. In the end, only one person could remain, and who would stay depended on their own abilities.
The knowledge imparted by the Black Ice Mercenary Corps is vast, starting with languages of various countries. As a qualified mercenary, this aspect is extremely important, and Yang Feng had no difficulty in this regard. He was originally diligent and intelligent, and after his rebirth, his memory and comprehension abilities increased dramatically, so regardless of the language, Yang Feng learned at an incredible pace.
Then there's the knowledge of hacking, which is also a necessary quality for modern mercenaries. Because we're in the information age now, someone who doesn't know how to use a computer will be considered illiterate. And if you want to be a mercenary, you have to learn hacking skills well, because after receiving a mission, you must first obtain information about the target. Of course, this information won't come easily, but for a mercenary with hacking knowledge, it's much easier. Yang Feng wasn't very familiar with computers at first, but through a period of study and practice, he fully mastered them.
Then comes the most basic thing for a mercenary to learn, which is how to kill people, and in order to learn how to kill people, you have to learn how not to be killed by others. This learning includes various hand-to-hand combat skills, the use of various firearms, various assassination and hiding knowledge, anyway, there are many types, wanting to master these things without a few years of hard work is simply impossible, however, this is what ordinary people say, Yang Feng actually mastered these things in the shortest time possible, even instructor Carl couldn't help but exclaim that Yang Feng was "the amazing number one"!
Yang Feng and the others' initial training lasted for three months. During this time, Karl taught them everything he knew within a month and then left, leaving behind only the fifty people in Yang Feng's group. When Karl left, he said that when he came back, he hoped to see only one person, and warned the fifty of them not to go anywhere except the eastern part where they trained, otherwise they would die even faster.
Karl left, leaving only Yang Feng and the fifty people to cultivate on their own. However, in two months' time, only one person would be left standing, which drove these fifty people crazy. Each of them began to view those around them with hostility, and fights started breaking out constantly. Gradually, people also started dying off.
Yang Feng and the others cultivated in this eastern region, which was actually very large. Apart from a beach, there was also a large forest. Karl had said that various types of weapons were hidden in the forest, so the disciples all rushed towards the forest to find weapons to protect themselves. These weapons included machetes, crossbows, poison, daggers, and if they were lucky, even guns.
Yang Feng did not go to the forest, but instead honestly trained his physical strength on the beach. Within a month's time, Yang Feng was able to effortlessly display the martial arts he had learned under double gravity in just the first half of the month. In the second half of the month, Yang Feng had already begun adapting to triple gravity. No matter how cruel the struggles within the forest were, as long as others did not provoke him, he would not take the initiative to provoke others.
However, there will always be some short-sighted people who see Yang Feng as a lone figure and don't even go to the forest to find weapons to protect himself. They think Yang Feng is easy to bully, so they often come to kill him with their weapons. Unfortunately, although Yang Feng is still in the realm of yin and yang, he is already a master of the acquired great accomplishment realm. Except for guns, other weapons can't harm him. As for those who want to kill him, Yang Feng simply uses his Nine Yin White Bone Claw to disable their limbs and then ignores them. Of course, once they are disabled, there is only one outcome - death!
Some people, seeing that ordinary weapons were of no use against Yang Feng, began to use guns to deal with him, and they all hid in the dark to shoot at him. Except for the first time, when Yang Feng was shot in the arm because he didn't cancel gravity in time, and the bullet went through his arm, making Yang Feng a one-armed man for several days afterwards. Of course, the person who ambushed Yang Feng was caught by Yang Feng after he dispelled gravity and used Spiral Nine Shadows, and also had his limbs crippled, only to be killed by someone else later on.
After such things happened several times, no one came to provoke Yang Feng again. The strong strength shown by Yang Feng was not something they could confront, and Yang Feng never took the initiative to provoke others. As long as no one disturbed his cultivation, he would not go looking for trouble with others. This made the rest of the group give up targeting Yang Feng and point their spearheads at others.
Yang Feng's every move was being monitored, as the island had a surveillance system in place everywhere, albeit very discreetly. Meanwhile, Karl sat in an underground room filled with screens, embracing a blonde woman, watching the footage on the screens, which showed his team of trainees, but most prominently Yang Feng, indicating that Karl still held significant interest in him.
"Haha, amazing number one, you're really interesting!" Karl leaned back in his genuine leather recliner, turned the blonde girl over and placed her upside down in his arms. The blonde girl looked at Karl with a flirtatious gaze, while Karl also showed a smile, lowering his head towards the blonde girl, but not aiming for her lips, but rather her snowy neck!
