With a satisfied smile, I thought to myself, "What a nice harvest, 230 new disciples, and I don't care about their age, all I want is manpower." Then, Zhao Min approached me and asked, "Elder Fang Lin, how did you convince so many people to join our sect?" I gave her a cryptic smile and said, "It's just helping Qing Yu..." Zhao Min was puzzled, but she dismissed her thoughts and went to train.
I saw through her curiosity and thought, "She might become an obstacle, I'll kill her if necessary." But I regained my calm, focusing on my goal. With 233 disciples now, I began training them in a military manner. At 3 am, we started with a 13 km run, and after breakfast - plain rice - we continued training.
I created a ranking system, dividing it into three stages: Mortal (level 1-9), Semi-Mortal (level 1-6), and Immortal (level 1-3). "If you reach Immortal Rank 1, you'll be an immortal," I announced, my voice emotionless. The crowd erupted in cheers, and I revealed that many of them were already at Mortal Stage level 4-6, considered mid-rank cultivators in the martial ranking system. The crowd cheered again, and I stood on the wooden stage, surveying my disciples with a sense of pride and purpose.
I sat in my office, lost in thought. "I wish I had a flying skill, like the ones I've read about in novels," I mused. Suddenly, I exclaimed, "System, open skills! Flying Technique!" A list of skills appeared before me, and my eyes widened as I saw "Immortal Flying Art Technique." I eagerly viewed the details.
"Wow, it can fly at 280 km per hour! That's incredible," I thought, comparing it to the 3 km per hour speed of flying swords in novels. But then I saw the ultimate form requirement: traveling at the speed of light to create a portal to any destination. My eyes widened in shock, and I regained my calm, thinking, "This is too risky. My body would be destroyed if I tried to reach the speed of light. It's not even possible."
Despite the risks, I acknowledged the skill's usefulness.
But "We require a reliable communication technique and a flying skill," I thought. I addressed the system, "System, open skills! Communication Technique and Flying Technique." A list of skills appeared before me, and I selected two suitable options.
For communication, I chose "Mental Link Technique," which allowed for instant telepathic communication among my disciples. And for flying, I selected "Wind Rider Technique," which enabled flight at a speed of 150 km per hour.
I ordered the system to manifest these skills in a tangible form, and soon I held two ancient-looking martial arts manuals. The first, "Mental Link Technique," contained intricate diagrams and scripts that would allow my disciples to master telepathic communication. The second, "Wind Rider Technique," detailed complex movements and stances that would grant them the power of flight.
I decided to distribute the manuals among my disciples, ensuring they could learn and master these essential skills. With these martial arts techniques in place, I felt a sense of satisfaction, knowing my disciples and I were better equipped to face the challenges ahead.
