Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

These two hundred-plus capable fighters need to be trained first.

Otherwise, it's unrealistic to expect him to defend such a large stronghold by himself. Mu Lingyun's summons for second-rate martial artists will come in handy; it's a good opportunity to have him train the troops.

With a slight thought, he opened his backpack and his gaze fell on the golden token—a summons for second-rate martial artists.

Just click to use it.

A flash of white light appeared on the open ground in front of the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

After the light faded, a man stood in the center of the open space.

He was very tall, about 1.89 meters, and wore a dark blue outfit with his back ramrod straight.

He had a long spear slung across his back. The shaft was made of dark wood, and the spearhead was wrapped with strips of cloth, obscuring the blade.

He has a square face, thick eyebrows, and a steady gaze; he looks to be in his early thirties.

He saw Wu Feng walk out of the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and bowed in salute.

The movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"Mu Lingyun greets the Chief."

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and his pronunciation was clear, with a slight northern accent.

Wu Feng nodded and looked him up and down.

The man stood there, his center of gravity firmly planted between his feet, his shoulders naturally lowered, and his right hand could reach the gun handle behind his back at any moment.

A second-rate martial artist, indeed, possesses extraordinary strength.

Wu Feng didn't rush to speak. With a slight thought, he opened Mu Lingyun's character panel.

A semi-transparent light screen unfolded before my eyes, and lines of data popped up—

Mu Lingyun

[Realm: Second-rate Martial Artist]

[Level: 55]

Loyalty: 80

【Root bone: 520】

Arm strength: 510

[Internal Strength: 630]

[Agility: 480]

【Perception: 110】

[Mu Family Spear Technique (Grand Perfection): A spear technique passed down through generations of the Mu family, consisting of thirty-six forms, renowned for its fierce and powerful style. The spear moves in straight lines; thrusting, parrying, sweeping, and stabbing are all clean and crisp, without any hesitation.]

[Mu Family Inner Strength Technique (Great Perfection): The Mu family's internal energy cultivation technique, characterized by balance and tranquility, stable internal energy growth, and no special attribute bonuses.]

Wu Feng's gaze slowly swept over those lines of data.

The Mu Family Spear Technique has reached its pinnacle. To reach the pinnacle of a second-rate martial art indicates that this person has put in considerable effort into mastering this spear technique.

The mastery of the Great Perfection technique, the connection between moves, the exertion of power, and the variation of moves have all reached the level of muscle memory, and can be executed without thinking.

The mental cultivation method is also at its peak, indicating it is a martial art passed down through the family.

Root bone 520, arm strength 510, internal strength 630.

These three metrics are considered above average among second-rate martial artists.

His internal strength is particularly outstanding, exceeding his physical strength and arm strength by more than 100 points, indicating that he has a good talent for cultivating internal strength.

A movement speed of 480 is a bit low, but generally, martial artists who use spears are not as good as those who use swords, so it's good enough.

Achievement level of 110. Not a genius, but definitely not stupid; learning new things won't be too difficult for him.

Loyalty level: 80.

This is a good number; they won't easily betray you, and they'll do what you're told to do diligently.

The initial loyalty level given by the system is much more reliable than the people he recruits from outside.

After reviewing the data, Wu Feng had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Mu Lingyun is a man with a solid foundation and a focused martial arts style; he is a capable person.

The Mu family's spear technique has reached its peak; with this skill alone, they would be considered above average among second-rate martial artists.

Most of the second-rate martial artists who came from independent cultivation levels could only achieve minor or complete mastery of a martial art. There were very few who could push a second-rate martial art to the highest level of mastery.

Moreover, this person looked composed, standing there neither arrogant nor humble, with clean eyes, not the kind of person who would cheat or be cunning.

They are worth nurturing.

Wu Feng closed the character panel and looked at Mu Lingyun.

"Mu Lingyun".

"exist."

Wu Feng pointed to the people working in the stronghold, "You're new here, so get familiar with things first. From today onwards, you'll be the leader of a team in the stronghold. You'll be responsible for two things—supervising the construction of the stronghold and selecting and training the best fighters in the stronghold."

Mu Lingyun clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied crisply, "Yes, Chief."

Wu Feng added, "Training cannot be taken lightly. Those newly recruited people have a poor foundation, so start teaching them from the basics and don't rush into advanced things."

"Understood." Mu Lingyun nodded. "I will start by teaching you horse stance and physical fitness to build a solid foundation before teaching you the moves."

Wu Feng glanced at him and nodded.

This person is indeed knowledgeable. In martial arts training, the biggest taboo is trying to do too much at once before building a solid foundation.

Start from the basics, take it one step at a time. It may be slow, but it will be steady.

"Go ahead," Wu Feng waved his hand.

Mu Lingyun bowed again and turned to walk towards the open space.

He took long strides and walked quickly.

As Wu Feng watched his retreating figure, he remembered something else.

Wu Xingyun's strength has recovered to most of its original level, and he is now at the level of a first-class martial artist. With the addition of profound martial arts such as the Tianshan Six Yang Palm and the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, he can defeat ordinary first-class martial artists as easily as playing with them.

Although Mu Lingyun is good, he is still far inferior to Wu Xingyun.

When Wu Xingyun and the others arrive, let her sit in the head position to keep things in order.

Wu Feng withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked back to the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, where he sat down in the main seat.

Leaning back in his chair, he tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, his mind going over the events in the village.

Mu Lingyun was in charge of training the troops and supervising the construction.

There are about a thousand residents, more than two hundred of whom are able to fight, and the rest are laborers.

Ten farmlands are under construction, as are logging sites and quarries. Once these facilities are completed, we will be able to produce some of our own food, timber, and stone, instead of relying entirely on plunder.

But two hundred or so capable fighters are far from enough.

A giant mountain stronghold like Wohu Village has five or six hundred henchmen, dozens of elites, and three bosses.

He was able to win by himself because his strength was overwhelming.

But defending territory is different; it requires people and troops.

The surrounding small and medium-sized mountain strongholds, such as Black Wind Stronghold, Tiger Crouching Stronghold, and Eagle Beak Stronghold, together number at least a thousand people.

We need to train these two hundred-plus men first, at least to the point where they can defend the village gate and fight small-scale battles.

Then, Mu Lingyun was sent to sweep through the surrounding mountain strongholds, seize back their food and supplies, and train the troops.

Once they're raised this way, they can collect resources on their own, instead of having to run around everywhere.

We'll discuss attacking Yingzhou City once Li Hu and the others arrive.

As he was thinking, he heard footsteps outside the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

Mu Lingyun stood at the door, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Boss, the construction arrangements have been made. Fifty people are working on the farmland, thirty on the logging camp, thirty on the quarry, and the remaining labor force is moving materials. I have already had two hundred and thirty-seven able-bodied men separated and will begin training tomorrow."

Wu Feng nodded: "Okay."

"Then let's start tomorrow." Wu Feng stood up. "Let them familiarize themselves with the village today, and training will begin first thing tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Wu Feng walked out of the Hall of Gathering Righteousness and stood on the steps to look around again.

The people in the mountain village were busy; some were moving timber, some were stacking stones, and some were leveling the ground.

Mu Lingyun stood at the edge of the training field, talking to a few young men, pointing and gesturing. The men listened and nodded from time to time.

An hour later, the farmland was completed.

Wu Feng stood on the edge of the field, watching ten neat plots of land extend out from the open space.

Each plot of land was about two-tenths of an acre in size, with a low wall built around the boundary with stones. The soil was freshly turned, and broken grass roots could be seen in the dark brown mud.

Several farmers were squatting at the edge of the field, scattering seeds into the furrows.

The movements weren't particularly nimble, but at least they knew what to do.
