If I made you a special forces soldier, would you become a terrestrial god?

"The second skill, the Body Refining Divine Art—The Golden Bell Cover!"

Su Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

"This skill focuses on cultivating the physical body and is divided into twelve stages. Practitioners must guide their internal energy throughout their body, coordinating it with external strikes, cultivating both internal and external strength to achieve mastery. After entering the initial stage, one is immune to ordinary sword and blade strikes; after achieving minor mastery, one can withstand bullets; and if one can cultivate to the highest level, one's flesh and blood can withstand artillery fire without sustaining a scratch, making one a true human barrier!"

Endure the artillery fire!

These four words made all the team members' breathing quicken.

For these soldiers who have tasted blood amidst gunfire, nothing is more tempting than "invincible defense"!

"The third skill, the lightness skill—'Lingbo Weibu'!"

"This skill subtly aligns with the I Ching's Eight Trigrams, offering endless variations across sixty-four directions. Once activated, the movement becomes ghostly and elusive. With initial mastery, one can leave no trace in the snow; with advanced mastery, speed can surpass the sound barrier. On the ever-changing battlefield, it is your most reliable lifeline!"

Supersonic movement!

Lei Kaihua's eyes lit up instantly. He seemed to see himself transformed into a phantom, strolling leisurely through a hail of bullets, taking the enemy general's head from among thousands of troops in a flamboyant manner.

"Now, I will impart to you the mental techniques and incantations of two cultivation methods. Everyone, listen attentively!"

Su Chen began to explain the cultivation principles of "Golden Bell Cover" and "Lingbo Steps" word by word.

These two techniques are more complex than the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill," especially the "Lingbo Steps," which involves intricate changes in direction and footwork, leaving a group of rough men accustomed to straight-line charges completely bewildered.

However, Su Chen explained things extremely thoroughly, using the most straightforward military terminology to make analogies for every obscure and difficult point, forcing them to memorize it.

Half an hour later, everyone had the key points of the formula firmly imprinted in their minds.

"I've memorized the formula, but it's all just empty talk; it's all just theory."

Su Chen's gaze fell on Gao Dazhuang, who was at the very front of the line.

"Gao Dazhuang, step forward!"

"Yes!" The tall, imposing man strode out.

"Take off your shirt," Su Chen said calmly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Dazhuang quickly took off his training uniform, revealing his terrifying muscles that looked as if they were cast from steel.

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Chen sent a solid iron rod from the weapon rack next to him flying into his hand.

He weighed the iron rod in his hand and said to Gao Dazhuang, "Now, circulate the Golden Bell Shield technique, mobilize all the internal energy in your body, cover your whole body, and imagine forming an invisible shield on your body surface. I will control my strength and only use one ten-thousandth of my strength, so I won't hurt you."

"yes!"

Gao Dazhuang took a deep breath and immediately followed Su Chen's instructions, activating the stream of internal energy within his body and spreading it to the surface of his skin.

This process was still somewhat unfamiliar to him. He could feel his internal energy scurrying around under his skin like a swarm of unruly ants, bringing waves of tingling, numb, and itchy sensations.

"Captain, I..." He was about to say that he wasn't ready yet.

Su Chen didn't give him a chance at all.

"I'm going to begin."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the iron rod in his hand, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind tearing through the air, slammed down hard on Gao Dazhuang's back!

call!

The wind arrived before the stick!

Gao Dazhuang felt a chill run down his spine, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

Even though it's only one ten-thousandth of the power, it's still a terrifying force enough to knock a bull down on the spot!

He didn't have time to think. His body's instincts and the desire to survive made him subconsciously rush all his internal energy to his back!

Just as the iron rod was about to touch his skin, the scattered internal energy seemed to be stimulated by something, and miraculously condensed into a thin but incredibly tough layer of internal energy on the surface of his back!

state!!!

A dull, resounding thud, like the beating of a cowhide drum!

The iron rod slammed solidly into Gao Dazhuang's back!

"Well!"

Gao Dazhuang let out a muffled groan, staggered forward two steps, and his face instantly turned bright red.

A sharp pain, mixed with a strange, tingling sensation, spread from my back throughout my body.

He could clearly feel that most of the force of the iron rod hitting him was dissipated by that thin layer of internal energy. Although the remaining force still made his blood and qi surge, it did not damage his muscles and bones.

Even more miraculously, stimulated by that external force, the speed at which his internal energy circulated was several times faster than usual! The Golden Bell Cover technique seemed to come alive at this moment, automatically guiding his internal energy to repair and strengthen the struck areas!

"It works!" Gao Dazhuang was overjoyed.

"Concentrate! Don't stop!" Su Chen's voice boomed in his ears like thunder.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The iron rod in Su Chen's hand turned into a series of afterimages, raining down on Gao Dazhuang's body!

Back, chest, shoulders, thighs...

Each strike was powerful and heavy, each strike precisely hitting the vital points of the human body, with the power controlled to the finest degree!

On the training field, only the dense, hammer-like "bang bang" sounds and Gao Dazhuang's increasingly heavy breathing remained.

All the Dragon Soul members present were completely dumbfounded.

This...this is cultivation?

That's fucking brutal!

"That's too cruel..." Lei Kaihua shrank his neck, feeling a dull pain in his back.

But soon, they realized something was wrong.

As Su Chen struck, a faint, visible golden halo began to emanate from Gao Dazhuang's body!

The halo was initially very thin, like a layer of mist.

But as the blows continued, the halo became more and more solid, and gradually, it seemed to form a semi-transparent golden dome that enveloped Gao Dazhuang's entire body!

When Su Chen's 108th blow landed.

clang!!!

A clear, crisp sound, like the clash of metal, rang out!

The solid iron rod was actually bounced away by a huge recoil force!

Gao Dazhuang, however, only swayed slightly before regaining his footing.

The golden aura around him suddenly brightened, then slowly disappeared into his body.

He looked down at his body and saw only faint red marks on his skin, without even breaking the skin!

And his internal energy actually increased by nearly 10% after this beating!

The first level of the "Golden Bell Cover" technique has been successfully completed!

"I...I feel like I can withstand bullets!" Gao Dazhuang clenched his fist, feeling the resilience emanating from his body, and shouted excitedly.

Su Chen threw away the slightly bent iron rod in his hand and faced everyone.

"Do you understand?"

"Two people per group, pick up the iron bars, and begin!"

Su Chen's orders were not to be questioned.

The team members exchanged glances, their eyes filled not with fear, but with a burning passion!

"Come on! Who's afraid of who!"

"Lei Kaihua, you little brat, come here! I'm going to give you a blessing first!"

"Hahaha, come on! Whoever beats the other to a pulp first is a coward!"

The entire training ground instantly transformed into a massive "self-torture" scene.

Nearly two hundred muscular men, shirtless, paired up, swung iron bars and mercilessly attacked each other!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull thuds of blows rose and fell, mixed with suppressed groans and excited roars, creating a scene that was quite surreal.

These brothers, who would entrust their backs to the enemy on the battlefield, are now incredibly ruthless when they turn on their own people.

Because they know that the fiercer the fighting now, the greater their chance of survival on the battlefield later!

Su Chen looked at the group of howling "devilish musclemen" with a satisfied expression on his face.

For the next few days, Zhenguo Pass was surrounded by this jarring, banging noise.

All team members are improving at an incredible pace.

Three days later, everyone successfully broke through the first level of the "Golden Bell Shield" and gained preliminary protective abilities.

Some of the most talented individuals, such as Gao Dazhuang and Liang Sanxi, have even reached the threshold of the second stage. The protective golden light on their bodies has become quite solid, and ordinary swords and knives can only leave a white mark when they strike them.

Defense power skyrockets!

In between refining the Golden Bell Shield, they practiced the "Lingbo Weibu" in another area.

Nearly two hundred burly men, like a flock of drunken ducks, staggered across the ground covered with Bagua symbols, occasionally tripping and falling flat on their faces due to their incorrect footwork, drawing laughter from the crowd.

But no one gave up.

Each and every one of them is giving their all and squeezing out every last bit of their potential in order to become the "heavenly warriors" the captain talks about!
