Several boys dragged their tired bodies back to their rooms. At this time, Liu Yongmin had already prepared dinner. Exhausted and hungry, they devoured all the food in a hurry. After wiping their mouths, they were ready to return to their rooms to sleep.
At that moment, Zhuque approached the boys and called out, "Feng'er."
Liu Guanfeng clasped his hands in greeting and replied, "Vermilion Bird Master."
"Yes," Zhuque nodded. "I have prepared bathwater for all of you. After you return to your rooms, rest in the bathtub. Each of your rooms has been set up with a Spirit Gathering Array by Azure Dragon. However, Bao Rui and Copper Bull have the Fire Spirit Gathering Array, Iron Bull's room has the Earth Spirit Gathering Array, and Dai's has the Gold Light Spirit Gathering Array. As for Xiaofeng, he still has the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array."
After finishing her explanation, Zhuque placed her palm on the foreheads of Bao Rui and Copper Bull. After a moment, she said, "I have already taught you how to activate the Spirit Gathering Array. Make sure to practice well when you return."
The boys repeatedly thanked Zhuque.
Zhuque shook her head. "You don't need to thank me; if you must thank someone, thank my disciple. You are his attendants, and I hope your strength grows so that you can protect him in the end. Now, it's getting late; you should all go rest." With that, Zhuque turned and walked into her room.
The boys excitedly rushed back to their rooms and quickly stripped off their clothes. However, upon seeing the bathwater in the tub, none of them dared to get in. Before them was a basin of water as black as ink. Liu Guanfeng recalled his first experience using Iron Skin Soup and calmed himself down. He leaped into the water and sat cross-legged, activating the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array.
As soon as the Spirit Gathering Array was activated, Liu Guanfeng heard a voice in his mind: "Master, the elemental concentration in this Spirit Gathering Array seems much higher than when you were at home."
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "I feel that way too; it must be because Master used a higher-grade Core. Isn't that better? I'm going to start cultivating now; XP, you should also focus on your training."
"I understand, Master."
Meanwhile, in the other rooms, Bao Rui, Copper Bull, and the other boys began their first night of cultivation in the Four Sacred Valleys.
In the room opposite Liu Guanfeng's group, the Four Sacred Beasts gathered in Qinglong's room. Qinglong looked at his companions with whom he had spent thousands of years and asked with a smile, "Second Brother, how is Xiaofeng doing?"
Baihu nodded. "Yes, not bad. This kid has great comprehension; I only taught him for one morning and he has already grasped five levels of the first form. I estimate I can teach him the second form in two days."
Qinglong nodded in agreement. "It seems promising. Third Brother, what do you think?"
Xuanwu stroked his bald head and replied, "Azure Dragon, these kids carried two loads of ore today; each load was about one hundred fifty pounds."
Qinglong looked at Xuanwu in surprise. "Are you saying these kids carried three hundred pounds of ore today by themselves?" Xuanwu nodded.
"They're only just ten years old; this is too... Third Brother, do you think we are being too harsh?"
Xuanwu shook his head and said, "Boss, don't forget that we don't have much time left."
Qinglong sighed and shook his head. "There's nothing we can do about it. We have to be resolute. Can these kids hold on? I'm worried about what will happen if they give up."
Xuanwu smiled at Qinglong. "Don't worry about that, big brother. They won't give up, and they'll only get better." Xuanwu then recounted Liu Guanfeng's words from that afternoon to Qinglong and the others, who nodded in agreement with Liu Guanfeng's approach.
"By the way, big brother, when I saw them this afternoon, I noticed that several of the kids hadn't fully absorbed the effects of the Iron Skin Soup, and their absorption was uneven. So I used a vine to disperse the medicinal power within them, allowing them to absorb it again. The unabsorbed medicinal power has accumulated beneath their skin. If I disperse it a few more times, I believe their absorption will improve."
Qinglong nodded. "It looks like you'll have to be the bad guy this time, Third Brother. It's tough on you."
Xuanwu laughed heartily. "Boss, don't worry about that. It's all for the sake of returning to our world as soon as possible. A little hardship is nothing."
Qinglong turned his gaze to Zhuque. "Sister Four, if that's the case, you'll have to prepare medicinal baths for the kids every day from now on. It will be hard work for you."
Zhuque nodded. "Don't worry, big brother. I'll pay attention to their formulas."
Seeing that his companions were satisfied with the disciples he had chosen, Qinglong felt very happy. "In that case, let's all go back and get some sleep. Our plan remains unchanged; we must strive to make these kids stronger as soon as possible. That way, even if one day we are no longer here, I believe Feng'er will have the ability to bring our ashes back home."
After saying this, everyone left Qinglong's house and returned to their rooms to sleep.
In Liu Guanfeng's room, he was sitting cross-legged in his bathtub. After activating the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array, he began practicing the fourth layer of the Chaos Initial Skill's Mind Method: Chaos Decomposition. In fact, Liu Guanfeng had already reached the fourth layer years ago, but he had never found a way to decompose it. Therefore, over these years, aside from his internal strength becoming more profound, he had made no progress in his skills.
Today, as Liu Guanfeng once again activated the Chaos Initial Skill, he was not very calm in his heart. During these days of fleeing, whenever he settled down, scenes of his family being captured would appear in his mind's sea; today was no different.
Just as Liu Guanfeng was practicing at the fourth layer, images of his parents and two brothers suddenly appeared in his mind's sea. The four figures slowly drifted away from him. This kind of situation was very dangerous and could easily lead to losing control.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng was completely in a state of unawareness; he could only see two lines of tears flowing down his cheeks.
He didn't know how long it had been when Liu Guanfeng's consciousness returned to his mind's sea; he opened his eyes to find that it was still pitch black outside. However, his biological clock told him it was time for him to get up. Liu Guanfeng looked down and saw that he was still sitting in the bathtub, but the water inside had changed from dark black to transparent.
The wounds from where Xuanwu Master had whipped him yesterday had healed, and Liu Guanfeng felt as if there were some changes in his body; however, he couldn't quite understand what exactly was different.
Liu Guanfeng thought: I wasted an entire night of cultivation yesterday; I think I fell asleep just as I started practicing the fourth layer of the Mind Method. But he was unaware that yesterday's dream-like experience had nearly cost him his life.
Liu Guanfeng glanced at the sky outside and said to himself: "It looks like it's still early outside; I've already slept through the night. I'll practice a bit more before going out." With that thought, Liu Guanfeng sat cross-legged again and closed his eyes.
Liu Guanfeng began practicing the Chaos Initial Skill slowly from the first layer: first layer, second layer... three layers. He practiced the first three layers very skillfully; when he entered the fourth layer, he was surprised to find that his Chaotic Qi did not automatically return to the Dragon Pearl in his abdomen after passing through his twelve meridians as it used to but instead split into five streams of Fighting Qi: gold, yellow, red, blue, and green.
Liu Guanfeng felt a sudden shock; could this be the fourth layer of the Mind Method, Chaos Decomposition? Had he really mastered the fourth layer of the Mind Method that had troubled him for years just by taking a nap?
Liu Guanfeng found it hard to believe, so he practiced again and got the same result. At that moment, he accepted that he had indeed mastered the fourth layer of the Mind Method.
Last night, Liu Guanfeng felt as if he were dreaming while practicing the fourth layer of the Mind Method. The four relatives that appeared in his mind's sea were the four attributes of Fighting Qi he had decomposed. He sensed that when his father, mother, and two brothers left him one by one, it was precisely when he unconsciously decomposed the four attributes of Fire, Water, Earth, and Metal from Chaotic Qi.
Although Liu Guanfeng had hovered on the brink of life and death once, this experience resolved the issues that had plagued him for years.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng was incredibly excited: he never expected that a nap would lead him to master the fourth layer of the Mind Method; he truly felt like a genius. After indulging in some fantasies in the bathtub, Liu Guanfeng quickly turned off the Spirit Gathering Array, jumped out of the tub, dried himself off, changed into a clean set of clothes, and stepped outside. Following him was his loyal little dog XP.
When Liu Guanfeng took a deep breath outside, he realized that yesterday's fatigue had vanished completely. He felt an unprecedented surge of power throughout his body. At this point, Liu Guanfeng understood that all of this was thanks to yesterday's bathwater. With this realization, he was filled with confidence for the challenges of a new day.
After taking another deep breath, Liu Guanfeng began his morning training with XP. Fortunately, the courtyard was spacious enough for him to run around. After a few laps, Bao Rui and others came out from their rooms.
As they emerged, everyone was astonished to find that not only had their injuries from yesterday completely healed, but their stamina had also reached new heights. Thus, the Five Boys began their new day with laughter and chatter.
After finishing his run, Liu Guanfeng picked up the Qimei Staff given to him by White Tiger Master yesterday and practiced the first move of the Heavenly Gang Spear Technique—Heavenly Gang Descends—that White Tiger Master had taught him. Bao Rui, Copper Bull, Iron Bull, and Dai watched with wide eyes.
Even Liu Yongmin, who had gotten up early to prepare breakfast for everyone, forgot what he was doing and stood quietly watching Liu Guanfeng's spear technique. Although Liu Yongmin was already an Advanced Knight, his martial skills paled in comparison to those of Qinglong and others; even Liu Guanfeng looked down on his abilities.
Since there were no specific cultivation methods established on Knight Continent yet—and even less so for martial arts—this was why Liu Guanfeng's Youth Long Fist learned at school was so highly regarded among private soldiers.
