Ch 349: Military Boxing
“I remember this beer is from the Longevity Temple, right?”
Li Hanzhou asked.
Looking at these beers, he felt a pang of longing.
Familiar faces flashed through his mind.
Longevity Temple ah, I wonder how Senior Brother and the disciples are doing now.
“That’s right, Your Highness. We also wanted to go to the Longevity Temple to see, to buy beer from the original source, but unfortunately, time was limited. Jinyuan City is the closest to us. That city was built by a Strong Person from the Immortal Realm, it doesn’t belong to any country, and it’s neutral.”
“But rather than calling it a city, Jinyuan City is a truly large trading place, because there are many rare treasures and various novel things collected from all over the Tianxuan Realm, such as these beers, which were bought by people from Jinyuan City from the Longevity Temple and transported back over long distances.”
Everyone from each country would send people to buy some hard-to-find things there, making it a rather interesting place. However, with so many people trading, it’s inevitable that there will be a mix of good and bad people. Fortunately, with that Strong Person from the Immortal Realm overseeing things and setting some rules, no one dares to cause trouble there.”
Pang Wang added with a smile: “In a few days, we’ll be going to Jinyuan City to replenish supplies again, Your Highness. If you’re interested, you can go with us, and experiencing the local customs and traditions there would be wonderful.”
“Okay.”
Li Hanzhou nodded, then finished the can of beer in his hand in one gulp.
Just as he was about to open another bottle, he saw that the other generals, although eating skewers and drinking like him, kept glancing at the beer.
Seeing this, Li Hanzhou said with a smile: “In this military camp, we’re all equal, let’s all enjoy the drinks together!”
After saying that, he took out the beer and shared it with Pang Wang and everyone else.
With glass after glass of strong liquor going down, everyone became slightly intoxicated.
Under the influence of the alcohol, the generals completely relaxed around Li Hanzhou. Some played music, some put their arms around each other and danced, and some sang loudly, even if they sang badly.
At this time, Pang Wang said: “Your Highness, although you haven’t come from a military background, your military bearing and demeanor are worthy of my utmost admiration. I wonder if Your Highness has anything suitable for all my soldiers to learn?”
Before Li Hanzhou came, although the soldiers in the military camp were arranged neatly, their movements were inconsistent, and it was easy to overlook some details. Sometimes, details often determine success or failure.
Since Li Hanzhou arrived, he had given them special training, requiring the soldiers to maintain uniformity in their posture and steps. Since then, the overall image of the Beiqi army has undergone a drastic change, and their discipline and cohesion have become better than before.
Hearing this, all the generals looked at Li Hanzhou, their eyes filled with fervent anticipation.
This is a Sword Immortal, their comprehension is simply not comparable to theirs. If they could learn something, it would be worth a lifetime.
“Learn something?”
Li Hanzhou was a little tipsy and fell into thought.
The things he taught were things he had seen on TV on Blue Star. If there was anything suitable for the army to learn, there probably wasn’t, after all he had never been a soldier on Blue Star.
“No!”
Li Hanzhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration, smiled slightly: “There is one thing you can learn.”
As soon as he finished speaking,
he leaped and landed directly on the high platform of the training ground, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
“What is Your Highness doing? Are you going to dance with your sword under the moonlight?”
The soldiers looked at Li Hanzhou with puzzled expressions.
“Everyone!”
Li Hanzhou finished the beer in his hand, looked at the faces below, and said calmly: “Next, I will teach you a set of fist techniques, called Military Fist Technique, specially designed for you military personnel…”
Halfway through, Li Hanzhou forgot his words.
Military Fist Technique was a required course for every university student during military training on Blue Star. It can be said that regardless of age, almost everyone can practice it. As for its effectiveness?
Li Hanzhou could only think of strengthening the body.
However, looking at the expectant gazes of the soldiers below, Li Hanzhou slowly assumed his stance and began the demonstration.
“This move is called Bow Stance Thrust Punch!”
“This move is called Throat-Piercing Kick!”
“…”
As one move after another was performed, Li Hanzhou gradually immersed himself in it.
However, in the eyes of others, especially Pang Wang, who was the strongest.
Li Hanzhou’s movements on the high platform, although somewhat strange and exaggerated, gave a feeling of connection with Heaven and Earth, as if the stillness and movement of this set of fist techniques integrated the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
When the last move of the Military Fist Technique ended, the sky dome suddenly brightened for a moment, and a sound like shattering echoed in everyone’s ears.
“That’s about it, you can practice more on your own.”
Li Hanzhou jumped off the high platform, glanced at the time, and looked at Pang Wang, saying: “General Pang, it’s getting late, I’ll go back first.”
Pang Wang finally came to his senses and said excitedly: “Your Highness, please go slowly.”
After Li Hanzhou left, the soldiers on the training ground no longer had any appetite for food and drink.
One by one, they seriously recalled the Military Fist Technique they had just seen, and their limbs stiffly began to practice.
Even Pang Wang and the other generals were the same.
After all, this was something taught by a Sword Immortal, even if it was just a fist technique, it must be extraordinary!
They practiced until the middle of the night before reluctantly returning to their tents to rest.
In the general’s tent, Pang Wang and his subordinates were too excited to sleep.
Their realms were profound, and their comprehension was extraordinary, unlike ordinary soldiers; thus, their feelings were even deeper.
“The Military Fist Technique Your Highness taught today is incredibly powerful. It seems like a set of fist techniques, but it clearly integrates fist, foot, grappling, and disarming techniques. No wonder it looks so natural!”
A chiliarch couldn’t help but exclaim, his tone full of admiration for Li Hanzhou.
The other generals nodded in agreement.
“No, it’s far more than that!”
Pang Wang shook his head. Then he extended a hand, clenched it into a fist, and swung it towards a boulder not far away.
A unique strand of True Qi was emitted.
With a slight whoosh,
everyone was shocked to find that the distant boulder had shattered into pieces, turning into a cloud of dust in the blink of an eye!
You must know that it was a diamond, considered the hardest type of stone, specifically used to test force.
Even for them to break a diamond, they would need to use six-tenths of their strength.
But Pang Wang simply threw a light punch, carrying a rather peculiar True Qi, and the boulder was reduced to dust!
“This is a strand of True Qi I just cultivated using the Military Fist Technique. Just a strand of True Qi is this powerful. If this True Qi can be cultivated to the extreme…”
Pang Wang didn’t finish his sentence.
But everyone understood clearly, their breathing became rapid, and their eyes grew even more fervent.
Just now, His Highness said that this set of Military Fist Technique was the most suitable for the military!
If everyone in the army cultivates this kind of True Qi, the Beiqi army would truly become invincible and undefeated!
