Chapter Thirty-Two: Stone Dragon Guard
The woman dressed as a man raised her finely arched eyebrows, observing everything before her, speculating how many blows Xu Daoyan could endure. It seemed to be becoming increasingly interesting.
Bang! Li Chaofeng increased his strength, the pain from the ironwood cudgel spreading to every corner of Xu Daoyan's body, a bone-deep agony like never before.
He did not make a sound. Li Chaofeng was extremely cruel, each blow the harshest, striking the ribs, a part where ordinary people could not endure, a single strike could break the spine. However, Xu Daoyan had cultivated his kidneys and mastered the Bone Tempering Technique, making his bones extremely hard. When the cudgel struck his bones, a metallic sound could be heard.
Tian Yu's eyes flickered with surprise, Shi Yun clenched his fists, feeling a mix of shock and joy, never expecting Xu Daoyan's physical strength to be so formidable.
In the army, few had never been beaten by a cudgel. The warriors watching around felt a chill in their hearts, admiring Xu Daoyan greatly.
Bang, bang, bang... Li Chaofeng swung continuously.
Xu Daoyan gritted his teeth, drenched in sweat, and said through his teeth, "Did you not eat? Use more strength!"
Xu Daoyan's physical strength far exceeded everyone's imagination. Many were relieved, as long as he could endure it.
Provoked by Xu Daoyan, Li Chaofeng used his full strength with each blow.
Xu Daoyan's clothes were torn, revealing vicious wounds, his skin splitting open, blood flowing out. But the Spring Rain of Revival, under his will, nourished his skin and flesh, visibly repairing the damage.
Li Chaofeng was shocked. Xu Daoyan must have a great master behind him, cultivating powerful techniques. No wonder he dared to accept two thousand cudgel blows.
He channeled his qi into the ironwood cudgel, each blow heavy and powerful.
Bang!
Xu Daoyan gritted his teeth, using the Spring Rain of Revival to repair his injuries, and the Power of Transformation to strengthen his muscles when Li Chaofeng struck him.
It was like forging iron; each blow from Li Chaofeng made Xu Daoyan's muscles stronger.
"Come on, use more strength, hit me!" Xu Daoyan roared, veins bulging on his forehead. Although it was painful, his spleen accelerated the transformation, making his muscles change more, like forging iron, removing impurities, giving him a great sense of satisfaction!
Li Chaofeng swung his cudgel in anger, his strength reaching its limit. He was shocked that Xu Daoyan, just a child, could endure his full-force blows.
Tian Yu watched Xu Daoyan endure blow after blow, the ground beneath him stained dark red with blood. Her eyes showed a complex emotion. Was this really just a thirteen-year-old boy? Such blood and spirit were not possessed by ordinary people.
Feng Hua gritted her teeth, and the hundred brothers of the Wind Cavalry Tenth Camp clenched their teeth, wishing they could take the punishment for Xu Daoyan.
Bang, bang, bang...
The sun set.
"Nine hundred ninety-eight, nine hundred ninety-nine, one thousand!" Feng Hua's eyes were bloodshot, and the soldiers almost shouted out the final number.
Shi Yun's eyes were red, but a proud smile appeared on his lips. "Xu Daoyan, you are my brother for life. On the battlefield, I will trust my life to you!"
After two thousand cudgel blows, Li Chaofeng did not kill Xu Daoyan, but he was exhausted, resting several times, his hands trembling, unable to accept this result!
"Put him down!" Shi Yun ordered, and the soldiers cheered!
Feng Hua and the others rushed over, putting Xu Daoyan down, their hearts heavy.
Xu Daoyan's body was weak, the consumption was great, but the improvement was significant. The cudgel blows helped him perfect the Sand Body Technique, bringing him closer to the Stone Body Technique.
"Brother, are you okay?" Shi Yun personally supported Xu Daoyan, though he had endured, he was still worried.
"I'm fine, I won't die. This Li Chaofeng must have used a lot of strength on women, making his blows so weak!" Xu Daoyan's sweat mixed with blood, his mouth full of blood, he held his breath and mocked.
Many soldiers held back their laughter, Li Chaofeng's face turned ashen, his body trembling with anger.
Shi Yun quickly took out the best healing medicine and applied it to Xu Daoyan's wounds.
A cool sensation spread through Xu Daoyan's body, stopping the burning pain and rapidly healing the wounds.
At the same time, he channeled the Spring Rain of Revival, quickly repairing his injuries.
"Good, good, how do you feel now?" Seeing this, Shi Yun felt much more relieved.
"My stomach is very hungry..." Xu Daoyan's words made everyone who had been tense for him laugh.
"Good, let's go eat, eat meat, drink wine!" Shi Yun, feeling stifled, but seeing Li Chaofeng's miserable state, felt relieved, shouted.
At this moment, a man, plain-looking, wearing training clothes, walked out, his steps powerful, his aura commanding respect.
"Salute General Shi!" The soldiers bowed.
"From today, Xu Daoyan will join my Stone Dragon Guard. You can choose a hundred followers from the four camps to serve you!" General Shi's voice was not loud but powerful. Then he turned to the woman dressed as a man, his voice calm: "Master Tian has come from afar, please rest at my residence. You must be tired after a long day. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you."
"Thank you, General Shi. I will accept your hospitality." The woman dressed as a man stood up, mounted her horse, the Lightning Wind Chaser, a rare breed that could charge on the battlefield, bringing lightning and wind to attack the enemy, a precious steed for a great general.
Xu Daoyan immediately chose Feng Hua and her hundred brothers, leaving the Wind Cavalry Camp.
Li Chaofeng's face was grim, but he had no choice. Xu Daoyan had joined the Stone Dragon Guard, the strongest army in Stone Dragon City, which he could never reach in his lifetime!
The entire Wind Cavalry Camp was in an uproar. Li Chaofeng, who personally wielded the cudgel, could not kill a thirteen-year-old child.
Xu Daoyan's name spread through the four camps of Stone Dragon City, becoming a legend.
The Stone Dragon Guard was the most elite and elite army in Stone Dragon City.
Each member of the Stone Dragon Guard was at least at the Human Immortal realm, and their followers were at least at the Ten Thousand Years realm, the realm of the elite.
Every year, only a small number of people could join the Stone Dragon Guard.
These people did not necessarily have to be at the Human Immortal realm, as the Stone Dragon Guard had a reserve system to cultivate promising young talents.
Shi Yun did not expect Xu Daoyan to join the Stone Dragon Guard.
On the way back, Xu Daoyan rode his horse. The moment they left the Wind Cavalry Camp, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, feeling almost faint, nearly falling off the horse.
"How could this happen? He was fine just now!" Shi Yun was shocked, looking at his father.
"He held his breath. Li Chaofeng's two thousand blows severely injured his internal organs. Fortunately, he cultivated a powerful Five Viscera Technique, which saved his life. Give him this." General Shi took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Shi Yun. "This is the Five Elements Vitality Pill, which can nourish his internal organs. Give him one. There are five inside, and with his constitution, he should recover quickly."
"Thank you, General Shi." Xu Daoyan's face was pale, and he bowed.
"Come, take it quickly." Shi Yun fed Xu Daoyan one pill.
Immediately, pure Five Elements Vitality flowed into his internal organs, shocking Xu Daoyan. The Five Elements Vitality Pill contained great power, autonomously repairing his internal organs and purifying impurities. The hunger he felt after the ordeal was gone.
Just taking the Five Elements Vitality Pill improved Xu Daoyan's complexion significantly.
The woman dressed as a man smiled. "Looks like you have a good body. You recovered a lot. Such a good seedling is hard to find. You must have a great master to help you lay the foundation."
Shi Yun ignored the woman dressed as a man. If not for her, Xu Daoyan would not have been beaten, and Feng Hua and the hundred elite warriors would not have ignored her.
She noticed that she was not welcome in the group.
To ease the awkwardness, General Shi asked, "Master Tian, did you have any gains from your incognito visit?"
"This gain, well, isn't it the person right here? Quite interesting." Tian Yu nodded her head, looking at Xu Daoyan.
On the horse, he closed his eyes, meditating, his wounds visibly healing, the torn flesh scabbing over, falling off, and his body becoming clean and radiant.
The previous cultivation, combined with the Five Elements Vitality Pill, brought Xu Daoyan to the peak of the Middle Rank of the Third Class, with a lifespan of 3,300 years.
The Lower Rank of the Third Class was from 2,011 to 2,710 years.
The Middle Rank of the Third Class was from 2,710 to 3,410 years.
The Upper Rank of the Third Class was from 3,410 to 4,110 years.
His physical strength in all aspects had greatly improved, earning Shi Yun's admiration. In just one day, he had made such a leap.
"If I could cultivate with the Five Elements Vitality Pill, I might soon be able to refine my internal organs to a flawless state, greatly enhancing my magical abilities." Xu Daoyan was delighted and asked General Shi, "How much does one Five Elements Vitality Pill cost?"
"One million taels of gold. The Five Elements Vitality Pill not only requires a lot of high-grade Five Elements Spirit Stones but also some Five Elements Spirit Herbs, refined using Daoist alchemy techniques. It is quite precious, so the price is naturally high. This is a reward for you enduring Li Chaofeng's beating and joining the Stone Dragon Guard. Take it and focus on your cultivation." Shi Yun answered, fearing that Xu Daoyan might offer six million taels of gold, which surprised him.
Xu Daoyan shrank back. Even with eighteen million taels of gold, he could only buy eighteen pills. He was unwilling to use such pills for cultivation.
Cultivation without money is impossible!
