Shěn Zhuó came back to his senses and introduced them to everyone with a trembling voice.
“He is the leader of the Supreme Action Group who commands the three armies?”
“And a General!”
“Our instructor has quite an impressive background!” someone couldn't help but exclaim.
Under the awe-inspiring might of Chén Fēng's aerial leap just now, these Soldier Kings, who were usually as arrogant as heavenly lords in their respective war zones, were now uncharacteristically docile, like a group of little white rabbits.
“Want to learn?”
At this moment, Chén Fēng asked them with a faint smile on his face.
“Yes!”
The sound of a thousand voices, gathered together, was as deafening as thunder. The entire city guard barracks echoed with this roar. Even Shěn Zhuó, the deputy leader assisting him, who stood behind Chén Fēng, shouted along. Who wouldn't want such power, that of a God of War's aerial leap?
“You are all so-called Soldier Kings from your respective units. I will teach you a set of fist techniques. You must master it within three days. Those who don't will be sent back to their original units. Any problems!” Chén Fēng swept his gaze over them like a falcon and said sternly.
“None!” The voices of the thousand soldiers echoed through the clouds.
“Good! All present, spread out to the left and right, with an arm's length in between!” As Chén Fēng commanded, the formation immediately began to move.
“This set of fist techniques has been passed down for thousands of years from Huaxia ancient martial arts. I call it Xuanyuan Tai Chi Fist!” Upon hearing his words, everyone was shocked.
“Huaxia ancient martial arts, didn't they disappear after the Manchus entered the Central Plains?”
“What's the difference between Xuanyuan Tai Chi Fist and Tai Chi Fist?”
“By practicing this, can we also become like you, Instructor Chén!” These Soldier Kings were like a group of curious babies now, looking at Chén Fēng with adoration.
Chén Fēng swept his gaze over the large formation and said indifferently:
“People like me, who have surpassed ordinary human strength, are called Awakeners! As long as you practice Xuanyuan Tai Chi Fist diligently, you will have a chance to unlock your Gene Lock and become like me!”
Upon hearing this answer, cheers erupted within the formation. Even Shěn Zhuó was extremely excited. If Chén Fēng's words were true, then this set of fist techniques would be of immense significance to the Military Department! No, it should be a great evolution for the entire Huaxia human race!
Immediately, Chén Fēng went to the training ground's platform, facing the crowd. He first performed a set of Xuanyuan Tai Chi Fist at an extremely slow pace, completing all thirty-six forms naturally. With every movement of his hands and fists, a wisp of white mist-like aura seemed to be mobilized, containing a righteous and firm Dao rhyme.
This set of fist techniques was directly transmitted to Chén Fēng's mind by the System, so he had already mastered it perfectly without needing to practice.
“Why do I feel like Instructor Chén isn't practicing fist techniques, but like those in cultivation novels?”
“Yeah! Look, every time Instructor Chén throws a punch, a wisp of white mist appears!”
“I once saw an old Taoist practicing on a cliff when I visited Longhu Mountain, and he also produced this white mist.” The Soldier Kings below stared with wide eyes. If they could also learn this set of fist techniques, wouldn't they become like those superheroes from comic books?
After Chén Fēng finished the last move and retracted his fists, he let out a light breath. Even he, a D-class Awakener, felt his Gene Lock loosen a little more. Looking at the System panel, his awakening progress indeed increased from 10% to 10.3%. This showed how powerful Xuanyuan Tai Chi Fist was!
For the next three days, Chén Fēng stayed in the city guard barracks, training these Soldier Kings. In between, he spent 4000 Guardian Points to redeem a thousand Gene Unlock Potions and added them to their food, avoiding the mess hall staff. After all, if he openly gave the Gene Unlock Potions to these thousand Soldier Kings, it would inevitably reach the ears of the higher-ups. He wouldn't be able to explain if questioned.
After consuming the food containing the Gene Unlock Potions, these Soldier Kings instantly unlocked their Gene Locks and became the most basic F-class Awakeners. Their progress in learning Xuanyuan Tai Chi Fist greatly accelerated!
Three days later.
In the city guard barracks. A thousand Soldier Kings, along with Shěn Zhuó, stood tall and straight, like sturdy pines.
Chén Fēng, now wearing a general's uniform with three gold stars on his shoulders, looked at these individuals with excitement. In just three days, they had not only learned Xuanyuan Tai Chi Fist, but a large portion of them had evolved into E-class Awakeners! The power of a single punch surpassed 1000 KG!
The Soldier Kings looked at the young General on the platform with excitement, as if he were a deity.
A black extended limousine slowly drove over. Seated inside was an old man with white hair, the Huaxia Commander!
The Elder Leader alighted and walked to Chén Fēng's side.
“What, is our leader Chén planning to show this old man a surprise?” the Elder Leader asked with a hearty laugh.
Chén Fēng smiled gently and raised his hand towards the neat formation below: “The surprise is them. Please, take a good look!”
Shěn Zhuó immediately took a forceful step forward, standing at the forefront of the formation, and shouted sternly: “All present! Xuanyuan Tai Chi Fist, first form, begin!”
Instantly, a loud shout reverberated through the sky. The thousand Soldier Kings raised their hands into fists, their movements as if mobilizing heaven and earth. With every punch thrown, a low muffled explosion could be heard in the air. The ground of the entire city guard barracks trembled slightly with each punch and stance!
“This, this is……” The Elder Leader's eyes widened in shock. In just three days, these Soldier Kings, who were originally only a few times stronger than ordinary people, could now produce explosive sounds with every punch! This was simply a divine fist technique!
“Little Chén, quickly tell me, what fist technique is this?!” the Elder Leader asked with a trembling voice. He naturally knew the significance this set of fist techniques would bring to Huaxia. This would be a step towards the public health and physical fitness leap of the Huaxia people, a true evolution!
“Ancient martial arts, Xuanyuan Tai Chi Fist!” Chén Fēng said with utmost solemnity.
“Ancient martial arts… Ancient martial arts, so that’s how it is!” The Elder Leader's eyes welled up with emotion. Hearing these two words, he gave Chén Fēng a deep look. He had originally thought that those ancient martial arts families, existing only in history, had completely disappeared. Now, it seemed that was not the case!
“Commander, I will send these thousand people to the various military departments to serve as instructors and teach this set of fist techniques to the entire army. Furthermore, I have already had someone make a video of Shěn Zhuó practicing the fist techniques and plan to submit it to the Department of Education and the Department of Culture to promote the practice of this set of fist techniques among the 1.4 billion people of Huaxia!”
“Excellent! Excellent! Decide everything yourself!” Hearing Chén Fēng's words, the Elder Leader said “excellent” several times. That afternoon, while people were working and studying, their phones suddenly vibrated simultaneously.
