Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 141 Return of Life
"Lord Arthur, I love you!"

"Master Arthur, you are so handsome!"

"Lord Arthur, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"

"Lord Arthur."

Swish!
Liu Mang suddenly pulled the curtains shut, feeling that the world had really gone crazy.

How come my serious recruitment work has been turned into a concert by a big star, with a crowd of people holding banners and signs calling out for me? It gives him a headache.

"Xilin, go down and notify them that there will be a new criterion for recruiting new members. Unless they are extremely outstanding, we will not accept any infatuated candidates!" Liu Mang covered his face and waved his hands, quickly modifying the recruitment requirements.

"Oh." Xilin went obediently, hoping that she would not be torn to pieces by the fanatical fans.

Cha Mo leaned back, put his feet on the desk, and rocked in his chair comfortably.

"Tsk tsk, you are amazing, Arthur. You just made an ad and attracted tens of thousands of people to sign up for the army. They even paid for their own tickets. Marshal Furen and General Kong only have this level of appeal."

Liu Mang smiled, "The number is about the same, but the quality is far different. Those two were able to recruit lieutenant general-level experts, while mine are basically all ordinary people. There is no comparison."

"I don't know if there will be some good seedlings this time. If there is another one like you, our branch will be in great trouble." In broad daylight, Cha Mo started dreaming.

“It’s not the ancestral graves of our branch that are emitting green smoke, it’s the ancestral graves of this world that are emitting green smoke.” Liu Mang sneered.

Are you kidding? It's already amazing to have one time traveler in a world. If you want another one, you must be very lucky. Be careful or you may be targeted by the Lord God.

The recruitment work was carried out in an orderly manner. At 4 pm, the recruitment was completed. A total of 5000 new soldiers were recruited this time. Including the remaining people in the base, there were about more people than the establishment.

It doesn’t matter. We can just keep the extra people secret for now. After one training session and two intensive sessions are completed, most of these people will be transferred away. We can then arrange for the remaining people. Liu Mang will make up the salary for this period privately.

The several hundred kilograms of gold that they had robbed had not been spent much, and they had originally intended to leave some for their younger brothers to buy boats and go out to sea. However, the dark forces in the East China Sea were so enthusiastic and generous that they not only provided them with boats, but also gave their younger brothers countless gold, silver and treasures.

Nearly a hundred of his younger brothers brought him tens of billions of assets. The assets of these captured pirates should have been confiscated, but Liu Mang asked them to hide the financial statements in advance, and he went to dig them out later, and they became private property.

Only when they were in the Seven Star Pirates, they had no experience and hundreds of billions of Baileys were wasted and contributed to the Marine Headquarters. The 026th Branch only received a reward of 3 million and each person was given 10 and that was it. How stingy.

In short, Liu Mang is very rich now. He has more than 200 people and the salary of a mere third-class soldier is only 4000 Baileys per month. With his more than billion Baileys, he can easily support them for thousands of years.

There is no rank for new recruits. After completing one period of training, they can become privates first class. After completing two periods of intensive training with the 026 branch, they can be promoted to privates second class or privates first class based on their performance. NCOs above that need performance, including lieutenants, colonels, and generals. They all need performance and merit to be promoted, and they need to work hard on this aspect.

As usual, new recruits need to be given a speech by their leaders. As the highest officer of the base, Liu Mang naturally took on the responsibility. He gave a passionate 10-minute speech to arouse emotions without even writing a script, followed by 20 minutes of ideological indoctrination and analysis of justice, and finally 30 minutes of encouragement, motivation, big promises, and chicken soup. It took a full hour to finally complete the speech.

Thanks to Old Coin's superb speaking skills and will guidance, the 5000 people were fascinated and suddenly enlightened. Their admiration for Liu Mang increased dramatically. They felt that he was the messenger of justice and the embodiment of light, and someone they should follow all their lives.

Seeing that the effect was very good, Cha Mo immediately used the trick of "cheerful and laughing". Everyone in the audience except Liu Mang laughed out loud. The hahahaha sounds made the registrants who had not left but were eliminated envious.

The result of the test was better than expected. Not a single spy was detected. There were 5,000 people here, and no one did anything tricky?
This is actually normal. Liu Mang has been attacking pirates everywhere in the past nine months. Nearly a hundred masters who can destroy an entire country have been arrested by him alone. His power has shocked the world. The East China Sea is the weakest sea, not only with the weakest pirate power, but also the weakest national power and evil forces. No one dares to provoke such an invincible 9 branch, not even to test it.

Not to mention that the ability of the Laughing Cha Mo has become widely known recently. No one knows who published the information about Cha Mo's ability in the newspaper, which exposed her all at once. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Although this is not the world of Hunter x Hunter, the confidentiality requirements for abilities are not that high, and there is no such thing as the threat being greatly reduced once the abilities are known.

But being exposed like this is also a very dangerous thing. Having unknown abilities is ultimately an advantage.

Fortunately, she benefited from Liu Mang during this period of time, and her strength increased greatly. Her basic strength is more than tens of thousands of tons, and she has gradually mastered the two-color domineering aura. She has mastered the six major styles, and her fruit ability has also improved. She has already reached the strength of a real lieutenant general of the headquarters, so let her ability be exposed.

With Lieutenant General Gutaf gone, Branch 026 no longer has the strength to hunt large sea kings. Liu Mang's 20 tons of strength plus a 50-fold increase in Armament Haki, even with the most powerful sword pressure, can hardly break through the defense of large sea kings.

Sea kings are very special. Willpower and pressure have no effect on them. There are qualitative changes between each level. 1000 meters and 1001 meters are two completely different concepts.

Moreover, high-level sea kings no longer fight each other, so there is no place to take advantage, which Liu Mang finds very regretful.

Fortunately, he already has enough strength to hunt medium-sized sea kings. This time he started with medium-sized ones. The training methods have also become more mature. It is not too difficult to train them to the level of the previous batch in three phases of 9 months of training. It can be done by sleeping less. The training system has been established, and the remaining people in the base are enough to lead the recruits to complete the training. Liu Mang is no longer needed to lead them throughout the process.

But he still takes time every day to train with the recruits and answer their questions. Training is not the goal, building relationships is the top priority.

If he wants these people to become his future team, investment of time and energy is indispensable, and both power and benefits must be clearly demonstrated.

Apart from taking time out every day to build relationships, there was nothing else to do, so a lot of time was freed up. He had been studying life return on and off for so long but had made no progress. Now he finally had plenty of time to conduct in-depth research.

Life Return is the highest hidden secret of the Six Styles. Few people can master this move on their own because there is no exact method of practice.

Life return is a god-level physical skill that infuses consciousness into the body, allowing one to freely control any part of the body, including hair and internal organs. It is the supreme mystery of forcibly interfering with the body with one's will.

Moreover, the upper limit of control accuracy is extremely high, even above the cellular level. If consciousness can be infused into every cell of the body based on this, there will be no problem in achieving 100% control of the body.

Moreover, the process of infusing consciousness into cells is also the process of restraining the will of cells. The strength of Armament Haki depends on the strength of will and the control of the body.

And concentrating the will of cells is the process of enhancing the armed color domineering from two aspects at the same time.

100% control of the body also means 100% control of the cellular will. The power of the whole person will be completely integrated, and the will absorbs all the cellular wills, and the strength of the will will also greatly increase.

So, how should we practice the return of life?
Although there are only six moves in the Six Styles, they are actually divided into two types.

One is iron block, finger gun, paper painting, and the other is shaving, moon step, and storm foot.

The former is a move that controls the internal properties of the body, while the latter is a move that uses pure external power. Obviously, if you want to practice Life Return, you have to start with the former type, which also involves in-depth control of the body.

The iron block is a move that tightens the muscles of the whole body and controls blood flow to make the body as hard as iron. It is generally used for defense. This is easy for Liu Mang to do, but it is difficult to go deeper.

Paper drawing is a technique to relax muscles and feel the changes in the air around you. Paper generally follows the enemy's offensive to dodge attacks. It is just the right combination of hard and soft with iron, complementing each other.

The finger gun is made by tightening the finger muscles to make them hard enough to penetrate the human body. In fact, it is a specialized application of iron blocks and is not needed in practicing Life Return.

Liu Mang used the iron block, carefully felt the difference in his body, and tried to soften the iron block, but until the iron block was removed, he still hadn't figured out how to soften his muscles.

It is common sense that muscles will become hard when they are tense, but it is wrong for them to be as hard as iron. After all, meat is meat and is naturally deficient in terms of substance and structure. How can it become as hard as iron?
His will was unable to detect changes at the cellular level, and he could only use the iron block again and again to sense the differences, but in the end he gained nothing.

Recalling the iron-hard nature of Armament Haki, he had some vague guesses.

He changed the paper again, completely relaxed his muscles, and used his body to feel the changes in the air. Even if a mosquito flew by, he could sense it keenly and dodge it as if he was being blown away by the wind created by the mosquito's wings.

It is indeed very soft and has a strong sense of perception, but it is impossible to harden it in this state.

Liu Mang's eyes are bright. He can't be soft when he is hard, and can't be hard when he is soft. So what if I have to make him both hard and soft?
There are both hard and soft materials in the world, and if they are specialized structures, they can do even more.

Iron is hard and paper is soft. There are ways to make both hard and soft. So if we combine the two, can we make it both hard and soft?
If this is achieved, it will naturally mean that the control over the muscles will be greatly increased. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is a good thing for improving life return.

Liu Mang naturally knew that he could return his life by infusing his will into every corner of his body, but no one taught him how to infuse consciousness into it, so he could only guess.

Since cells have their own cellular will, does using active will to subdue the cellular will so that it can act according to commands represent the process of infusing cells with will?
After all, the place where will is stored is the sea of ​​consciousness. He really doesn't know how cells store will, or even whether they can store will.

The immortality of Devouring the Stars did make it clear that cells can store will and spirit, and can even be used to revive, but that has no reference value, because the immortal body is not a physical body, but a divine body, a materialized energy body, which is completely different from an ordinary physical body.

So Liu Mang could only guess on his own.

But as his practice progressed, he gradually became able to combine the iron block and paper painting, and he became more and more certain of his guess.

The so-called infusion of attention is probably just a way of saying it, and the path of subduing the will of cells may be the right one!
Looking at his fingers that slightly lengthened and shortened, Liu Mang smiled knowingly. The return of life was just around the corner.

And it only took him three months!
