Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 438: Chapter 180: The Path to Transcendence Begins Today

The next morning, the soldiers Zhang Beixing had trained were all dumbfounded.

They discovered something incredibly absurd: their bodies, which had been nearly wrecked by Zhang Beixing’s training the day before, felt surprisingly less sore today!

”I can actually get up?!”

”Holy shit, what is this sorcery? After such intense training yesterday, I thought I’d be aching for three or four days. How is it that I feel mostly recovered after just one night?”

”I feel so energetic now, even another day of training wouldn’t be a big deal!”

”What’s going on here? Is it because of that breathing technique Instructor Zhang taught us last night?”

”That’s possible! I remember when Instructor Zhang taught us this breathing method. He said it could relieve physical fatigue. I didn’t take it seriously at the time, but it seems the instructor wasn’t bullshitting us. This breathing technique’s effects are too damn incredible!”

”This doesn’t make any sense!”

”...”

Noticing the changes in their bodies, the soldiers buzzed with discussion, filled with surprise and incredulity.

Eventually, they zeroed in on the ”Natural Breathing Technique” that Zhang Beixing had taught them the day before.

It was the only thing they had learned from Zhang Beixing yesterday.

And it was the only explanation for the changes they were experiencing!

Realizing this, the group of soldiers was initially shocked, then overjoyed!

Although they already knew from the welcoming ceremony orchestrated by Huo Honghao and others the previous day that Zhang Beixing was no ordinary person, they had not expected him to be *this* extraordinary!

Just something casually taught by him could bring about such immense changes in them.

If a method for adjusting breath and meditative rest was already this powerful, what about the others?

The soldiers were filled with anticipation for today’s training.

And Zhang Beixing did not disappoint them. Today, he officially began to teach them Martial Arts.

As for what he taught, it was naturally his self-created unique Ultimate Skill, the ”Heaven and Earth Natural Technique.”

As an Ultimate Skill, the ”Heaven and Earth Natural Technique” was not only tremendously powerful but also easy to learn.

Even ordinary people could strengthen their bodies if they practiced it, let alone these men who were Kings of Soldiers, learning under the guidance of Zhang Beixing, the creator himself.

Of course, they could only learn the most basic ”Heaven and Earth Natural Technique” and ”Natural Breathing Technique.” The more profound internal energy cultivation methods, like the Triple Resonance, were not something they could easily master.

But even so, their efficiency was extremely high!

After just one week, these Kings of Soldiers—the elite vanguards—had shown a clear improvement in their abilities.

Even Huo Honghao couldn’t hide his astonishment, increasingly convinced that inviting Zhang Beixing to the Shishi Military Region as an instructor had been an incredibly wise decision.

What he didn’t know was that the soldiers undergoing Zhang Beixing’s special training were, to a man, on the verge of tears!

Under Zhang Beixing’s training, their progress was indeed lightning-fast, and their strength significantly increased, that much was true.

But the problem was, the intensity of Zhang Beixing’s training was not something ordinary people could withstand.

For instance, the twenty minutes of weighted horse stance practice, mandatory at the start and end of each day, had a significant impact. After just a few days, many soldiers had developed a lasting dread for this particular stance training.

Not to mention the other training methods Zhang Beixing had devised for them, which were also incredibly brutal.

While they were practicing the ”Heaven and Earth Natural Technique,” Zhang Beixing would suddenly make them hold a pose and then place knives against their joints, forcing them to maintain the position. Anyone who wavered would instantly be stabbed, resulting in a bloody hole.

Or, sometimes, in the middle of the night when they were sound asleep, Zhang Beixing would suddenly kick their doors open, summon everyone to the rooftop for an emergency assembly, and force them to practice Martial Arts on the edge of the rooftop in the pitch dark, without any safety measures.

They later found out that Zhang Beixing, prioritizing safety, had laid out inflatable airbags below beforehand. However, the initial shock of being suddenly subjected to this without any warning still chilled many to the bone.

And this was just the tip of the iceberg.

Such tactics were employed relentlessly during these days of special training.

The guiding principle was simple: train them to the brink of death, as if they weren’t even human.

Fortunately, the breathing technique Zhang Beixing had taught them was exceptionally powerful, and these Kings of Soldiers possessed remarkable physical and mental fortitude.

Otherwise, under such a regimen, they would have either been unable to handle the training intensity and suffered from severe muscle breakdown, or they would have cracked under the immense pressure exerted by Zhang Beixing and gone completely mad!

This also earned Zhang Beixing a nickname—”Minister of Punishment”—because he was just too adept at tormenting people!

If he were thrown into the Qing Dynasty, the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing would become the Hundred Great Tortures!

Zhang Beixing was aware of the nickname these Kings of Soldiers had given him, but he didn’t mind.

For him, what mattered more at that moment was rapidly enhancing his own strength to achieve Transcendence as soon as possible!

After executing the complete ”Heaven and Earth Natural Technique,” Zhang Beixing listened to the system prompt in his ear.

He felt his Vital Energy grow stronger with each cycle of the ”Heaven and Earth Natural Technique”; his blood thickened like starch and surged tumultuously.
