On the morning of the ninth day of the seventh month, in the vast training field of the Teng Qingshan Residence in Yi City:
"Big Brother Honghou, today is the ninth day of the seventh month, right?"
"Yes, it is." Teng Honghou nodded and looked at the skinny youth beside him. There were a total of 914 youths in Teng Qingshan's residence. Therefore, there were at least six youths living in each house. Teng Honghou and the young man next to him slept in the neighboring houses.
In these three months, the two youths had become like brothers.
"Ah Xin, don't be discouraged. As long as there is hope, don't give up. I will tell you the main points of practicing the Three Postures and the Monkey Fist. You are doing very well … You might be able to make a breakthrough today, "Teng Honghou encouraged the skinny youth.
Fang Xin was nine years old, but his body was thinner than his peers. When Fang Xin traveled from Jiangning County City to Yi City, his feet were covered in blisters, and he had to grit his teeth and endure.
However, his body was naturally weak, so he could not produce inner strength. Every time Teng Honghou practiced together, he would give Fang Xin special treatment to help his good friend. With Teng Honghou's help, Fang Xin's Monkey Fist and Three Postures were almost as good as Teng Honghou's.
However, he still could not produce inner strength.
After practicing the Internal Martial Arts for three months, the physical quality of the youth named Fang Xin had improved slightly, and his skin had become tanned.
"I will definitely make a breakthrough."
"I will definitely make a breakthrough. I will definitely, definitely become a powerful expert like Senior Jing Yi." Fang Xin clenched his fists and thought to himself. His childhood experiences had made him yearn to become a powerful expert. The recruitment of disciples by Teng Qingshan was obviously a bright path for them to become powerful experts!
If they missed this opportunity, they would probably regret it for the rest of their lives!
"It's already the ninth day of the seventh month. We have been here for three months. "
"Yes, today is the last day of practice. If I still can't produce inner strength, I will have to leave tomorrow. "
Some of the youths on the training field were whispering. Many of them had already given up.
"Teacher is here."
"Teacher is here."
The martial arts field quietened down almost instantly. None of the youths dared to make a sound. At this moment, Teng Qingshan, who was dressed in a white robe, and Li Jun, who was dressed in a purple robe, walked out of the Inner Court and arrived at the training field in the Outer Court. If Teng Shou was said to have the aura of a wild beast, then Teng Qingshan was like a sword hidden in its scabbard, appearing gentle and refined.
"It's Senior Jing Yi."
"Look, it's really Senior Jing Yi." These 914 youths couldn't help but let out an uproar. However, when Teng Shou's cold gaze swept across them, all the youths quieted down again. However, all of them were looking at Teng Qingshan, who was dressed in a white robe and looked like an elegant young master.
These youths all knew that Senior Jing Yi was much more powerful than the legendary innate experts.
At the front of the training field.
Teng Shou stood respectfully at Teng Qingshan's side and whispered, "Teacher, among these 914 youths, those who have cultivated inner strength are all on the left side. There are a total of 92 youths. It's mainly at the end of the second month and the beginning of the third month that the number of people who have cultivated inner strength is the highest. During the second half of the third month, there are fewer and fewer people who have cultivated inner strength. Two days ago and yesterday, no one had a breakthrough. "
"92 people?"
Teng Qingshan looked down and saw that the 914 youths were divided into two groups. The disciples who had cultivated inner strength practiced together, and the disciples who hadn't cultivated inner strength practiced together. However, when Teng Qingshan looked over, almost all the youths tried their best to puff out their chests, and their eyes shone brightly.
"These youths …" Teng Qingshan could see excitement, worship, and longing in their eyes.
They longed to become experts!
Back then, they were able to register and rush to Yi City from Jiangning County City on foot. If they didn't have the desire to become experts, why would they suffer like this?
"It's better than I expected. 92 people." Teng Qingshan revealed a smile, "It's almost reached a ratio of ten to one … Oh, when the Gui Yuan Sect helped to recruit, they had already eliminated the youths with poor balance and flexibility. If we include the youths who had signed up but failed the test. In other words, out of 20 youths, about one is suitable to practice Internal Martial Arts. "
Teng Qingshan was satisfied with this ratio.
After all, in the society of his previous life, the probability of cultivating Internal Martial Arts to cultivate inner strength was much lower. Firstly, the physical quality of the ordinary people in his previous life was not as good as the people of the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Secondly, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was insufficient in his previous life. This caused the difference between the two worlds.
"8th of April!"
Suddenly, Teng Qingshan opened his mouth. His voice wasn't loud, but it resounded in the ears of every youth. All the youths held their breath and listened carefully.
"You have all traveled more than 300 Li on foot to arrive here. From the 9th of April onwards, a total of 914 of you will begin to receive my unique set of fist arts … And today, the 9th of July. Today is the last day for you to practice fist arts. According to what I said before — — "
"Today, you can practice fist arts seriously as usual. Also, your teacher, Teng Shou, will be here to teach you. "
"And tomorrow, among the 914 of you, if you haven't cultivated inner strength, you will be sent back to Jiangning."
Teng Qingshan's cold gaze swept through everyone's hearts, "Remember, on the last day, you will stay here and cultivate with me, or you will leave. It's this last day. " Teng Qingshan's voice seemed to have a strange magic power, reverberating in the minds of every youth. Many of the youths clenched their fists, and an extreme desire arose in their hearts.
"Start practicing fist arts," Teng Qingshan ordered Teng Shou, then turned around and left the outer court with Li Jun.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
After returning to the inner court, Teng Qingshan could clearly hear the sounds of breathing and breathing in the outer court. The aura of these youths seemed to have suddenly become much stronger.
"Qingshan, what did you do just now?" Li Jun laughed.
"I just used some small tricks." Teng Qingshan laughed. In the last sentence, he used his powerful 'Spirit' to hypnotize these youths, awakening the desire in their hearts, and magnifying the desire in their hearts. Actually, hypnosis was just a small technique. For example, the God of Heaven of the God of Heaven Mountain, the great monk Su Mengte, could even affect innate experts with just his gaze.
Back then, outside of Hong Tian City, Su Mengte actually used his voice to influence the nearly eighty thousand cavalrymen of Hong Tian City, who were determined to die. In the end, it was You Shijin and his brother who used their voices to awaken their subordinates.
It wasn't difficult for Teng Qingshan to use his hypnosis to influence these children.
… …
In the evening.
"Teacher, Teacher." Teng Shou ran over with a look of pleasant surprise. He ran to the side of Teng Qingshan, who was sitting cross-legged on the training field of the inner court.
"What's the matter?" Teng Qingshan opened his eyes.
"Teacher, four more youths made a breakthrough today," Teng Shou said hastily. Teng Shou hastily said, "Maybe Teacher's words were effective. On the last day, four people actually produced inner strength."
Teng Qing Shan smiled.
After three months of hard work, it was only natural that the psychological pressure on the last day was immense. Teng Qingshan had half hypnotized and guided them, which made them even more eager. Teng Qingshan had expected four of them to make a breakthrough.
*****
In the dormitory of the group of youths:
The bed, which was more than three Zhang (eight meters) long, took up almost half of the entire room. Aside from the edge of the bed, which was used to store items, a total of six youths were sleeping on the bed.
"Haha, I made it! I finally made a breakthrough!" A handsome youth was jumping around in the dormitory.
He was one of the four youths who made a breakthrough today. One could imagine how happy he was when he made a breakthrough on the last day.
At this moment, Teng Honghou was accompanying the skinny Fang Xin. Fang Xin curled up on the bed and leaned against the wall. Tears welled up in his eyes. Beside him, Teng Honghou whispered, "Ah Xin, don't be sad. Actually … "Teng Honghou wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Tomorrow, he would be separated from Fang Xin.
One of them would become a powerful expert in the Land of the Nine Prefectures in the future. The other would become a lowly figure in the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
"Brother Honghou, don't say anymore." Fang Xin shook his head and pursed his lips.
Teng Honghou's heart stirred, and he hastily said, "Tomorrow will be the final decision on who will leave. You might make a breakthrough tonight."
"Tonight?"
Fang Xin raised his head, and his eyes lit up.
On the night of the ninth day of the seventh month, many youths didn't sleep. Instead, they practiced their fist techniques at night. They all desired to cultivate inner strength before the decision tomorrow.
… …
On the morning of the tenth day of the seventh month, the hot summer morning was very refreshing. However, although some of the 914 youths were in a good mood, most of them felt sad. Although they had stayed up late to practice their fist techniques, none of the youths felt sleepy. Everyone gathered on the training field.
There was complete silence!
At the front of the training field stood four people — their teacher, Teng Shou, their idol, Senior Jing Yi, and Senior Jing Yi's wife. There was also the Sovereign of the Gui Yuan Sect, Zhuge Yuan-hong.
"Today is the tenth day of the seventh month!"
Teng Qingshan looked at the 914 youths and said loudly, "Those of you who have cultivated inner strength can stay. You can practice more profound fist techniques and become more powerful. Those of you who haven't cultivated inner strength will have to return to the Gui Yuan Sect. Since last night, has anyone managed to cultivate any more inner strength? "
Many youths looked around.
Silence. Complete silence.
No one had managed to break through last night.
"As expected." Teng Qingshan thought to himself, "The mental pressure was too great, and they didn't have the help of my hypnosis. How could they have broken through?"
"Good. In other words, 96 of you have cultivated inner strength. As for the other 818, I will ask the Gui Yuan Sect to send you back to Jiangning." As soon as Teng Qingshan finished speaking, many youths on the training field burst into tears. Some of them even cried out loud.
Three months of hard work!
The desire to become a powerful expert!
They had failed!
After all, apart from Teng Honghou, the oldest was only ten years old.
"Men bleed but not cry!" Teng Shou suddenly shouted, causing many youths to stop crying.
"Three months." Teng Qingshan said, "You have been here for three months. Today … all 914 youths, your teacher, Teng Shou, and I will practice the Three Postures together. We will practice the Three Postures together. This is the last time! "
Teng Qingshan assumed the starting position of the Three Postures.
Immediately, Teng Shou assumed the starting position of the Three Postures as well. The 914 youths on the training field assumed the starting position in unison.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
Everyone, including Teng Qingshan, practiced one move after another. Many of the youths held back their tears as they practiced. The 818 youths knew they had failed. They had been sentenced to death. Although they were sad, they felt relaxed like never before. There was no more burden or pressure. Especially under Teng Qingshan's lead, everyone's fist art had been practiced to an unprecedented level.
In terms of cultivation level, Teng Qingshan was obviously much higher than Teng Shou.
One punch, another punch …
"This is the last time." The skinny youth, Fang Xin, was also immersed in the fist technique. Now that he knew he had failed, he no longer felt any pressure. At this moment, when he imitated Teng Qingshan's fist technique, he actually had a hint of inner strength.
Unknowingly, a trace of inner strength had been born in his body …
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
The loud voices of the youths resounded throughout the training field and soared into the sky.
