Wushan Town, a common small town in the kingdom of Fenlai on the west side of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the first mountain range of Yulan Continent.

  The sun has just risen, and the small town of Wushan still has a bit of chill in the morning air. However, almost all the residents have already gone out to start their work, even six or seven-year-old children have gotten up to begin their traditional morning exercises.

  On the empty land east of Wushan Town, the warm sunlight in the morning passes through the big trees beside the empty land and leaves patchy light spots on the empty land.

  There was a large group of children, estimated to be around one or two hundred. The group of children was divided into three teams, each team lined up in several rows, with the children standing quietly on the empty ground, their faces serious. The northernmost team of children were about six to eight years old. The middle team was roughly nine to twelve years old, and the southernmost team was a group of thirteen to sixteen-year-old teenagers.

  In front of this large group of children were three sturdy middle-aged men, all wearing sleeveless shirts and coarse linen pants.

  "To become a great warrior, one must train hard from a young age." The middle-aged man with his hands behind his back and head held high said coldly, his piercing gaze sweeping across the group of children in the north, who were all pursing their lips and staring at him with wide eyes, not daring to make a sound.

  The leader of them was a middle-aged man named Hillman, who was the captain of the guard team of the Baruk family, the owner of Wushan Town.

  "You are all ordinary people, you cant have the powerful aura and secret training like those aristocrats. If you want to stand out, if you dont want to be looked down upon in the future, you must train according to the most ancient, simplest, and most basic methods, temper your body, and endure hardships, understand?"

  Hillmans gaze swept over this group of children.

  "Got it." A group of young men shouted loudly.

  "Very well." Hillman nodded coldly, with a look of satisfaction. The six or seven year old children mostly had a confused and puzzled look in their eyes, while the teenagers eyes were firm and resolute because they understood what Hillman meant.

  Almost every man on the entire Jade Orchid continent has to work hard from a young age, if someone doesnt train diligently, then he will be looked down upon in the future! What represents a mans status is his strength and wealth! A man without strength is also looked down upon by women.

  Want parents to be proud of me, want girls to admire me, and want a glorious life in the future!

  Must become great warriors!

  They are all ordinary people, and it is impossible for them to cultivate those precious martial arts. Their only way is to train their bodies from a young age, endure hardships and work hard! Struggle, strive! Spend more energy than those nobles, spend more hearts blood to strive!

  "In the morning, as the sun rises, all things are full of life. This is the best time to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and improve our physical potential. As usual, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, hands gathered at the waist, in the Qigong stance. When doing Qigong, remember to focus your attention, keep a calm mind, and breathe naturally." Hillman said indifferently.

  Qigong is the simplest and most effective way to exercise your body, which is the experience accumulated by countless years of predecessors.

  In an instant, one or two hundred children all assumed the "Yunqi Style" posture.

  "Remember, focus your attention, calm in your heart, and breathe naturally!" Hillman said indifferently as he walked among the group of boys.

  At a glance, its clear that the teenagers from the southern team are all focused and calm, breathing naturally. At the same time, they have all achieved deep, even, and stable in terms of qi accumulation.

  But looking at the 6 or 7 year old kid in the north, the degree of knee bending is different, the legs are loose and weak, obviously without strength, not stable at all.

  Hillman said to the other two middle-aged men: "You are in charge of the two teams in the south and central, I will go manage those kids."

  "Yes, captain." The two middle-aged men responded immediately and then carefully watched the central and southern teams. From time to time, they kicked the legs of those boys to see if they were standing steadily enough.

  Hillman walked towards the group of six or seven year old children in the north, and they immediately became nervous.

  "Its no good, Big Head is coming." said a big-eyed, blonde-haired boy named Hadley in a low voice.

  Hillman walked into the center of this group of children, looking at these kids, Hillmans face was cold, but in his heart he sighed: "These kids are really too young, whether physically or mentally they are still far from enough, and their requirements cannot be too high. However, physical training is better cultivated from an early age, and if trained seriously from a young age, the chances of survival on the battlefield will be greater."

  And teaching little kids...... guiding them, attracting them is the most effective way! Forcing can only have a counter effect!

  "One by one, theyre falling." Hillman snorted.

  At once, all the children puffed out their chests and looked straight ahead.

  Hillmans mouth rose with a hint of a smile, and then he walked to the front, took off his vest, and the muscle lines on his body made those kids widen their eyes one by one. Even the boys from Central and South looked at Hillmans muscles with envy.

  Apart from those nearly perfect muscle lines, Hillmans exposed upper body had knife scars, sword scars, and all sorts of scars that numbered in the dozens. All the children looked at those scars with shining eyes.

  Scars from swords and knives are a mans medals!

  They deeply admire Hillman. Hillman, a great sixth-level warrior, is a brave warrior who has been tempered in life and death! He is also an unattainable figure in the big city. And in Wushan Town, he is a respected figure by everyone.

  Hillman saw the fervent eyes of those children, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He wanted these children to have admiration in their hearts, to have longing. In this way, they would be more diligent and have more motivation!

  "Add fuel to the fire." Hillman secretly smiled and walked up to a giant stone lock, which weighed around 300-400 kilograms.

  Hillman grasped the stone lock with one hand and started swinging it around with ease, making the three or four hundred catty stone lock seem like a wooden toy in his hands. The childrens eyes widened and their mouths opened in shock.

  "Too light, Rollei. After training is over and you have time, go make a few bigger stone locks." Hillman casually tossed the stone lock, which flew tens of meters, "Boom!" Heavily falling beside a large tree, the ground even shook. Then Hillman walked to a group of scattered rocks.

  "Ah!"

  Hillman took a deep breath, and his muscles bulged visibly. He directly punched one of the blue stones with his fist, piercing the air with a sharp whistling sound. The children nearby widened their eyes involuntarily. Hillmans massive fist heavily smashed onto the giant blue stone.

  "Bam!" The heavy and dull thud of a fist against the bluestone made all the childrens hearts skip a beat.

  Thats hard bluestone.

  Only to see that the bluestone shook a few times and seven or eight cracks appeared, finally "Peng" was broken into pieces, while Hillmans fist didnt have any scars.

  "Captain is still so fierce." Luo Rui, one of the two middle-aged men, said with a smile as he walked towards Hillman.

  Another middle-aged man, Roger, also walked over. Usually when the kids were practicing "Yin Qi Style", it was a time for these three instructors to chat casually, and occasionally pay attention to whether the children were lazy or not.

  Hillman shook his head with a smile: "Its not possible, when I was in the army, every day was a desperate exercise, bloody killings on the battlefield, and now, at most, its just relaxing and stretching, not as passionate as before."

  All the children looked up at Hillman with reverence.

  That huge bluestone was actually crushed with just one punch. What kind of strength is this? That three or four hundred catty stone lock, was swung around casually, what kind of power is this?

  Hillman turned around and looked at the gaze of this group of children, very satisfied with their reaction.

  "You remember, even without relying on Dou Qi, purely training the body to its limits can also theoretically become a 6th level warrior! And once a 6th level warrior joins the military, they can easily become a mid-level officer and obtain the militarys Dou Qi cultivation methods with ease! Even if you cant become a 6th level warrior, as long as you become even the most ordinary 1st level warrior, youll have the qualifications to join the military. Remember, a man who cant even reach the level of a 1st level warrior... hes not a man!" Hilmans face was cold and stern.

  "A man should stand up straight and face any challenge without fear!"

  When they heard this sentence, the six or seven year old children couldnt help but smile on their faces, each of them trying hard not to laugh. This was Hillmans catchphrase, and it was also a phrase that Hillman often taught the kids to say.

  "Steady, all of you! Look at those brothers down south and see how theyre standing!" Hillman bellowed.

  Those six- or seven-year-olds immediately stood up one by one with great effort.

  After a while, those six or seven year old children all swayed and stumbled. Each child felt their legs ache severely, but they gritted their teeth and persisted. Unable to persist for long, the children one by one collapsed and sat paralyzed on the ground.

  Hillmans face remained cold, but he secretly nodded in his heart. The performance of these six or seven year old children was still very satisfactory to him.

  Before long, some of the children around ten years old in the center also couldnt hold on and fell to the ground one by one.

  "You can hold on as long as you want, I wont force you, but if you end up worse off than others in the future, dont blame anyone else," Hillman said coldly.

  "Huh?" Luo Lei suddenly looked at the team in the north with surprise.

  At this moment, many children around ten years old in the central team fell to the ground, while a six-year-old child in the northern team was still holding on.

  "Lin Lei is here for the first time, and hes already so fierce!" Luo Rui exclaimed in surprise. Next to him, Luo Jie and Xi Erman also noticed, and Xi Erman looked over as well. At this moment, among the northern team, only a small boy with brown hair persisted, his lips pursed, his eyes fixed firmly on the front, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

  A glimmer of surprise flashed in Hillmans eyes.

  "Good kid!" Hillman secretly praised, only six years old, can catch up with the ten-year-old children in Breathing Method, this talent is a glimpse of his future.

  Lin Lei, full name Lin Lei Baruk, is the eldest son of the entire Wushan Town owner, the Baruk family. The Baruk family is a very ancient family that was once prosperous, but after thousands of years of inheritance, there are only three members left in the whole family: the patriarch Hog Baruk and his two sons. The elder son Lin Lei Baruk is only six years old this year. As for the younger son Wotton Baruk, he is only two years old. The mistress of the Baruk family died after giving birth to the younger son. Lin Leis grandfather also lost his life in the war in the army.

  Lin Leis legs trembled violently, and even though his will was firmer than ever, the muscles that had been strained to their limits were no longer under his control. He finally fell to the ground and sat down.

  "Lin Lei, how are you feeling?" Hillman walked over with a smile.

  Lin Lei smiled, revealing his small tiger teeth: "Nothing, Uncle Hillman." Hillman was the captain of the Baruk familys guard squad and had watched Lin Lei grow up since he was a child. The two naturally had a close relationship.

  "Good job, like a man." Hillman patted Lin Leis head, instantly making his hair as messy as straw.

  "Heh heh." Lin Lei smiled with a pleased expression, his heart feeling delighted by Hillmans praise.

  ……

  After resting for a while, they continued to start training again. The training level of six or seven-year-old children is much lighter. But the training level of those teenagers in their teens was terrifying.

  Only this group of young people, including those children, each with their heads and feet resting on flat stones, their entire bodies suspended in mid-air, relying solely on the strength of their waists to hold them up.

  "The lumbar region, the hip area, this triangular region." Hillman gestured with both hands to the position of his abdomen. "This area is the central part of a persons body, whether its speed or strength, the core is this triangular region, and this core triangular region is very important."

  Hillman said with his mouth still moving, and he didnt stop walking, carefully observing whether each boys movements were standardized.

  "Stand up straight, dont slump your waist!" Hillman shouted.

  At this moment, many young peoples waists immediately strained upwards. Lin Lei was doing this for the first time today, his small head and feet were resting on two flat stones. But at this time, Lin Lei already felt a burning sensation in his waist.

  "Hold on, hold on, Im the best." Lin Lei encouraged himself in his heart. Lin Leis physical fitness had been very good since he was a child and had hardly ever been ill. Plus, with great perseverance, outstanding performance was nothing unusual.

  "Thud!" The first child fell down.

  However, the flat stones used for pillows and feet are only about twenty centimeters high, so even if a child falls down, they wont get hurt. (The alchemists of Yulan Continent formulated the unit of length 1 meter = 10 decimeters = 100 centimeters = 1000 millimeters)

  "Thud!" "Thud!"... As time went by, one child after another couldnt hold on any longer.

  Lin Leis teeth were clenched tightly, he clearly felt that his waist was already sore to the limit, almost numb: "My body is so heavy, I can barely hold on, hold on for a while." At this time, only Lin Lei in the team of six to eight years old was still holding on.

  Hillman saw Lin Lei, and his eyes couldnt help but reveal a look of surprise and satisfaction.

  "Rory." Hillman said abruptly.

  "Captain." Luo Lei immediately stood up straight and waited for orders.

  "Tomorrow, prepare some dye," Hillman ordered. "When they do their waist training, put a branch under each persons waist with the dye on it. If anyone slackens and their waist touches the branch, theyll be stained with the dye, and their training tasks will be doubled."

  "Yes, Captain." Luo Lei responded loudly, but the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, secretly laughing in his heart, "The captains crazy ideas are really endless, those kids are going to be miserable."

  Really?

  Those teenagers in their teens all looked bitter, normally they could still slack off with slight movements, but once Hillman did so, they couldnt slack off anymore.

  Hillman continued to say coldly: "I can tell you that after a warrior cultivates his internal energy, the location where the internal energy is stored is about one fist below the navel. You should be able to understand that this is also within the core triangle area. Now you should understand the importance of exercising the core triangle area! This is the core, and once its not working, exercising other areas wont work either."

  A good educator is very important for children.

  And Hillman is a great warrior, he knows the focus of training, he knows to progress gradually, and he knows what level of training children at different ages should reach. If the intensity is too high, it may cause the childs body to collapse.

  "Chi Blast?"

  When they heard this word, those young men and children resting nearby all opened their eyes wide and looked at Hilman.

  As for the Dou Qi, those civilian children are very much looking forward to it, and Lin Lei, this young master of a declining noble family, is also very eager for it.

  "Bang!"

  Lin Lei himself could no longer resist, but he still used his arm to support the ground and slowly fell down.

  "Ah, so comfortable!" Lin Lei felt a numbness in his sore waist as he rested, the sensation seeping deep into his muscles, seemingly all the way to his bones. Comfortable, Lin Leis eyes narrowed slightly.

  "How many have fallen?" Lin Lei suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.

  The children of the team from six to eight years old all fell down, and even the central ten-year-olds fell down by more than half. However, those fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys were still holding on. And Hillman was still expressionless, muttering to himself:

  "You must all remember, the body is like a container, a wine cup. And the internal energy is like the wine! How much wine a wine cup can hold depends on its size. Similarly... A persons ultimate achievement in cultivating internal energy also depends on their physical training. If the body is too weak, even if they have a powerful internal energy technique, they wont be able to withstand much internal energy and wont become a formidable warrior." Hillman told these children many important messages.

  Many warriors didnt understand the relationship between physical strength and internal energy until later in life, because no one taught them when they were young. By then, its often too late to train effectively.

  Many predecessors have accumulated experience from many detours, and Hillman has quietly carved those important experiences deeply into the minds of these children through repeated teachings, like spring breeze and rain. Hillman does not want these children to take any more detours.

  ……

  After going through the Qigong style, waist, legs, shoulders, back... coordinated exercises for each part of the body, almost all the children sat paralyzed on the ground. Hillmans training intensity was arranged very appropriately.

  "This mornings exercise is now over," Hillman announced.

  Wushan Towns training is regular, twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

  "Uncle Hillman, tell us a story." As soon as they were dismissed, the children immediately shouted out. Every day after morning exercises, Hillman would tell these children stories about his experiences in the military or other places on the continent.

  Children who grew up in small towns yearn for the outside world and military life.

  Hillman smiled slightly, and telling stories to the children was also a way he came up with to fill their hearts with motivation for training. Hillman always believed that only by letting the children actively desire to cultivate themselves would they achieve great things.

  "Today, Ill tell you about the four ultimate warriors of legend from across the entire continent!" Schilmans face also showed a hint of reverence.

  Those kids ears perked up high, their eyes shining brightly. Lin Lei, who was also sitting on the ground, felt his heart skip a beat: "The legendary Four Ultimate Warriors?" Lin Leis ears perked up involuntarily, staring intently at Hilman.

  Hillmans eyes had a thread of excitement, but his voice remained calm: "On our continent, thousands of years ago, there were four ultimate warriors who appeared. These four ultimate warriors all possessed strength that could rival the giant dragon, and they could single-handedly sweep through hundreds of thousands of soldiers, easily taking the enemy generals head! The four ultimate warriors are the Dragon Blood Warrior, the Purple Flame Warrior, the Tiger Stripe Warrior, and the Undead Warrior!"

  "Warriors are divided into nine levels, and I, as a mere sixth-level warrior, can easily shatter boulders and kick down large trees! A ninth-level warrior would likely be considered the strongest in our kingdom of Fenley. Above the ninth level are the four ultimate warriors, who surpass the ninth level and stand at the pinnacle of warriors, belonging to the legendary realm of sacred strongmen!" Hilmans eyes were filled with yearning, "The legendary sacred strongmen can melt massive icebergs, make endless oceans rage in fury, collapse towering mountains, destroy cities with populations of millions, and bring down endless meteorites from the sky! They are invincible existences, supreme existences."

  Dead silence, all the kids were frightened stiff.

  Hillman pointed to the mountain in the northeast direction.

  "Look at that Wushan, isnt it very big?" Hillman said with a smile.

  Those who just heard Hillman say so much are already scared silly. At this moment, they all nodded in agreement. The Wushan Mountains are thousands of meters high and stretch for thousands of kilometers, which is indeed a huge object in the eyes of human beings.

  "But this Wushan, a strong master of the Holy Land can destroy it in the blink of an eye." Xierman said very affirmatively.

  A sixth-level warrior can destroy a huge boulder with one palm, while a strong man in the holy land can destroy a mountain. This made all the children grow their mouths, open their eyes wide, and tremble in their hearts, involuntarily filled with fear for the strong men in the holy land, as well as expectation and longing.

  "Destroy a mountain?" Hillmans words had a huge impact on Lin Lei.

  It wasnt long before the group of children left one by one, shocked, while Hillman, Rory and Roger were the last to leave. As he watched the large group of children leave in threes and fives, a smile appeared on Hillmans face.

  "These children are the hope of our future in Wushan Town," Hillman said with a smile.

  Rory and Roger also looked at this group of children, almost every ordinary child on the mainland was trained hard from a young age. Seeing these children, Rory and Roger seemed to see their own childhood and adolescence.

  "Captain Hillman, you are much more formidable than the old Porter in his heyday. Under your guidance, I believe our Wushan Town will become one of the strongest among the dozen or so surrounding towns." Luo Rui sighed and said.

  The strength of educators determines the future of a place.

  "By the way, Captain, how did you know that the strong men of the Holy Domain and the Four Great Ultimate Warriors were so powerful?" Luo Rui suddenly asked curiously.

  Hillman smiled awkwardly: "This, actually how much harm it can do to the four ultimate warriors, I dont know. After all, they are legendary figures. Its been many years since anyone has seen them."

  "You dont know and yet you deceive children?" Luo Rui and Luo Jie were speechless.

  Hillman smiled slightly: "Although Im not very clear about the four ultimate warriors, but I do know... Holy Magic Masters, that is, magicians who have reached the holy realm. They can cast forbidden magic, destroying tens of thousands of armies, destroying a city. If Holy Realm Magicians are so powerful, I estimate Holy Realm Warriors wont be much different either."

  "Whats more, telling this to the kids will give them even more motivation. Havent you seen the look of yearning on their faces after hearing stories?" Hillman said with a self-satisfied smile.

  Lu Rui and Luo Jie were speechless.

  ……

  "Thunder, goodbye."

  "Goodbye, Hadley."

  After saying goodbye to his good friend Hadley, Lin Lei walked alone towards his home, and after a while, he saw the Baroque familys mansion.

  The Baruk familys mansion covers a vast area, with ivy and clematis vines entwined on the walls. The walls are filled with the marks of years. The Baruk familys ancestral house in Wushan Town is the ancestral home of the Baruk family. An ancestral home that has been passed down for nearly 5,000 years, after thousands of years of continuous repair, still stands here today.

  As the family declined, the economic situation of the Ba Luoke family also deteriorated, and they could only live off their old wealth. More than a hundred years ago, the current head of the Ba Luoke family decided that all members of the family would only reside in the front courtyard, which occupied one-third of the entire estate, and would no longer maintain or repair the rear courtyards, thus saving a lot of money.

  Even so, by now, Lin Leis father Hogwarts also needs to frequently sell some items in the family to maintain household expenses.

  The high gate of the official residence was open.

  "Sanctuary Warrior?" Lin Lei thought as he walked, "Will I be able to become a Sanctuary Warrior in the future?"

  "Lin Lei." Hillmans voice came from behind, and Hillman, Luo Rui, and Luo Ge, the last three people to arrive, had caught up at this moment.

  Lin Lei turned his head and looked over, immediately delighted: "Uncle Hillman!"

  Lin Lei took a deep breath, looked up at Hillman and asked nervously yet expectantly: "Uncle Hillman, you said that the Sanctuary Warriors are so powerful? Then do I... have the possibility of becoming a Sanctuary Warrior?" Lin Leis heart had the same yearning as most children.

  Hillman was taken aback, and Luo Rui and Luo Roger beside him were also stunned.

  Sanctuary Warrior?

  "These kids are really bold, the entire Finlay Kingdom has tens of millions of residents, yet in hundreds of years, not a single Saint Domain expert has appeared. Wanting to become a Saint Domain expert..." Hillman was deeply aware of how difficult it was to become a Saint Domain expert.

  It requires hard work and self-cultivation from a young age, as well as family nurturing and personal talent. It also requires opportunities... and so on. Becoming a powerful Saint Domain expert is not that easy after all.

  Hillman was very clear about how much suffering he had endured to become a sixth-level warrior, and how many times he had hovered between life and death. Sixth-level warriors were already so difficult, let alone seventh, eighth, ninth level, not to mention the holy domain. Hillman was probably only daring to think about it in his dreams.

  But facing Lin Leis eager gaze.

  "Hillman Uncle believes in you, Lin Lei. You will definitely become a Sanctuary Warrior." Hillman said firmly as he gazed at Lin Lei. His words of encouragement suddenly lit up Lin Leis eyes and ignited his desire!

  This longing is an unprecedented fervor!

  "Hillman uncle, can I train with the team from Central tomorrow?" Lin Lei suddenly said.

  Hillman, Luo Rui and Luo Ge were shocked and looked at Lin Lei together.

  "My father said that if you want to be a superior person, you must put in more effort than others." Lin Lei couldnt help but imitate his fathers tone of voice.

  Hillman suddenly laughed, he also saw Lin Leis training today. Although Lin Lei was only six years old, his physical quality was comparable to that of a nine or ten year old child. He nodded and smiled: "Alright, but dont back down when the time comes. You know, this isnt just one or two days, the future is long."

  Lin Lei raised his small head and smiled confidently: "Uncle Hillman, just watch."

  This was an ordinary morning in Wushan Town, and every day afterwards was the same. A group of children from Wushan Town continued to train hard under the guidance of Sixth-Level Warrior Hillman. The only difference from before was that six-year-old Lin Lei was assigned to a team with children around ten years old.
