Chapter 87

After speaking to Gu Chengyuan, Lin Fan took two steps forward under the watchful eyes of the special forces team. He scanned the room with his gaze and said loudly:

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lin Fan. I have been entrusted by Brother Gu to serve as a special consultant for the Flying Dragon Special Forces Team. However, I don't particularly like the term 'consultant' as it sounds too academic. I prefer it if everyone calls me 'instructor.' From now on, I will use my methods to help you improve your strength. As long as you follow my instructions, I am confident that before the big competition, I can ensure that each of your strengths will increase by at least five times!"

Lin Fan extended his hand.

"Wow!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, all the special forces team members were沸腾了 (boiled over with excitement). A fivefold increase in strength was an almost unbelievable number. If the Flying Dragon Special Forces Team's strength increased by more than five times, what would the Tigers even do? They would be lucky to just be beaten to the ground.

"Is that true?"

Leopard barely contained his excitement and asked loudly.

"Of course, it's true." Lin Fan nodded lightly, withdrew his hand, and placed it behind his back. Then, he changed his tone, making it more severe: "However, everything comes at a price. Improving your strength is not an easy task. So, I want to make it clear from the start that my training methods will be extremely arduous. Believe me, it will be even more terrifying than the most grueling training you have ever experienced. So, anyone who lacks the confidence to persist, step forward now!"

As he finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at Lin Fan with determined eyes, and no one showed any sign of backing down.

Lin Fan walked slowly in front of the group with his hands behind his back and said, "I don't like deserters. If you lack confidence in yourself, it's still not too late to leave now. If you give up halfway through, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"We won't quit!"

"We will die on the training ground if we have to!"

"As long as we don't die, we will train to the death!"

The scene was silent for a few seconds, and then the special forces team members roared in unison.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good. Since no one has stepped forward to quit, I congratulate you. From now on, you will experience what true hell mode is like!"

"I am going to teach you a set of body-strengthening techniques and accompanying combat skills. This set of techniques is called the 'Threefold Body Strengthening Technique,' which is a simplified version of the 'Ninefold Golden Body Technique,' retaining only the first three chapters. The 'Threefold Body Strengthening Technique' is divided into three levels: Body Tempering, Bone Forging, and Marrow Training!"

"Most of you are currently at about 30% of the Body Tempering stage. The three stages of the 'Threefold Body Strengthening Technique' will increase your strength far more than just doubling. You can imagine what it would be like if everyone reached the Bone Forging or even Marrow Training stage."

"My requirement for you is that before the big competition, at least three of you must reach the Marrow Training stage, and more than half must reach the Bone Forging stage. Do you have the confidence to achieve this?"

"Yes!"

All the special forces team members responded with a resounding voice!

The 'Threefold Body Strengthening Technique' can increase strength by more than three times just in the first stage. If you reach the second stage, it will at least increase your strength by seven to eight times. As for the third stage, Marrow Training, it will be even more terrifying! At that time, even the three hidden experts in the Tiger Assault Team would be far from a match!

At this moment, all the special forces team members were burning with intense passion, looking at Lin Fan with fiery eyes.

Gu Chengyuan looked at the young but determined faces and felt a sense of relief. Losing to the Tiger Assault Team for three consecutive years not only made him, Gu Chengyuan, feel humiliated by Zhao Dami, but also made the Flying Dragon Special Forces Team members feel ashamed. They had been training hard whenever they had the time, but they had never found the right path. Now, with Lin Fan's help, they would surely achieve greatness!

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and said, "The 'Threefold Body Strengthening Technique' consists of thirteen movements. I will demonstrate them for you, so pay close attention."

Upon hearing this, the special forces team members all became more alert, spontaneously moving back to give Lin Fan enough space. They all remained silent and watched carefully.

Even Gu Chengyuan watched with a serious expression. Although he was a peak external martial artist, who would complain about having too much strength? He was also very enthusiastic about the body-strengthening technique Lin Fan was about to teach.

Then, Lin Fan began to demonstrate the 'Threefold Body Strengthening Technique' among the group.

Lin Fan's movements were very slow, as if the movie was playing at half speed. The first half had a feeling similar to Tai Chi, being soft yet firm, while the second half suddenly changed, becoming full of masculine energy. Each punch generated a strong wind, and those standing close could even feel the wind hitting their faces, causing a painful sensation.

The other special forces team members found Lin Fan's movements graceful and elegant, but as a martial artist, Gu Chengyuan could sense that these movements were far from simple. The speed, angle, and force of each movement, as well as the fluidity between movements, were all very profound. This seemingly simple set of movements seemed to contain the fundamental principles of the universe.

The first half was like flowing water, gentle yet continuous, while the second half was like a tornado, powerful and invincible!

After one minute, Lin Fan finished demonstrating all the movements.

Leopard asked curiously, "Instructor, is what you are teaching us martial arts? Although the movements are not simple, they don't seem so difficult that we can't start practicing right away?"

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, turned to look at Gu Chengyuan, and Gu Chengyuan also hesitated slightly before deciding to reveal some information about the ancient martial arts world to the special forces team.

Gu Chengyuan said solemnly, "I will explain this to you. Do you know why the Tiger Assault Team is so strong in close combat? Do you know why I asked Consultant Lin to be your instructor?"

"Why is that, Captain?" Leopard asked quickly.

At this moment, everyone was looking at Gu Chengyuan, equally curious. Gu Chengyuan said, "To explain this, I need to tell you something first."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chengyuan slowly began, "In our society, besides ordinary people, there is a special group of people known as ancient martial artists."

"Ancient martial artists???"

"What are ancient martial artists? Are they martial arts experts?"

The special forces team members exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right." Gu Chengyuan nodded and continued, "There are many things in this world that you have not encountered. Just because you haven't encountered them doesn't mean they don't exist. Legends are often more than just legends. They have reasons for becoming legends."

The special forces team members looked like curious children, wide-eyed and ears perked up. At this moment, they were extremely excited because they sensed that they were about to uncover a very secret world.
