Chapter 165: Martial Arts True Body
After having lunch at Qilin Pavilion, Zhou Tieyi paced and walked into the military camp.

Seeing Zhou Tieyi coming over, Ada, who was stationed in the military camp, blew the assembly horn immediately.

A few days ago, Zhou Tieyi had instructed Ada to select fifty people from the military camp to serve as his personal guards.

There are a total of 300 people stationed in the Zhou Mansion military camp, all of whom are carefully selected from good families. Last time, Zhou Tieyi personally selected the five best people including A Da.

The qualifications and luck of the rest of the people were similar, so there was no need for him to select them personally, so he gave this task to Ada.

A low horn sounded, and the sound could be heard throughout the entire camp.

More than two hundred of them had slightly ugly expressions, and then quickly calmed down. They were the ones who were eliminated.

It’s not that they are dissatisfied.

Because everyone was training together, with a total of 300 people, everyone knew who had a good foundation on weekdays, so Ah Da was fair and just when selecting, and no one was dissatisfied.

But I can't help feeling regretful.

After A Da and the other five were selected by Zhou Tieyi, the changes in them were obvious. Originally, everyone was just average and A Da and the other five were at best excellent. But in just one month, all five of them built their foundation with dragon blood and completed a qualitative change.

This time Zhou Tieyi selected another fifty personal guards, and these fifty people will definitely undergo a qualitative change.

Even Zhou Tiege only had more than thirty personal guards. Even if Zhou Tieyi was a genius, fifty personal guards would probably be the limit. After all, the cost of each personal guard was really incalculable.

As for the fifty people who were selected, they were naturally in high spirits and as vigorous as dragons and tigers. They gathered in the training ground in just ten breaths.

Zhou Tieyi looked back and forth, and confirmed that the luck above everyone's heads was changing from light red to red, and he knew the approximate level.

He thought for a moment and said to Ah Da, "Tell the remaining people to train well. I will select them again in the future, but this is the last chance."

After selecting them three times in a row, Zhou Tieyi can be considered kind to these personal guards who grew up with him.

If all else fails, I can only follow the Zhou family's army to the front line, make merit and gain a future. I won't be wanted by just anyone.

He said this in front of everyone.

Sure enough, even the fifty people who were selected were very satisfied with this sentence, which showed that Zhou Tieyi cared about the old friendship and that the Zhou family was kind.

After talking about trivial matters, Zhou Tieyi looked at everyone, "Five Elements Formation!"

At his command, the people who had been training with Ada and the other four for several days unfolded like a giant flower, each taking their position and forming a perfect five-pointed star.

Just this training alone shows the hard work that goes into it.

If it were an ordinary army formation, this would be considered excellent.

But the first step in the military formation of this world requires the unity of qi and blood between the generals and the soldiers.

Zhou Tieyi walked to the center and shouted again, "Start with the Tiger Roar Fist!"

He also threw a punch himself.

In an instant, fifty-six people threw out their fists and kicks, each one almost identical to the other.

However, this is still some distance away from a real military formation.

When the boxing moves become powerful, this difference will be immediately apparent.

All of them were practitioners of rank eight or above. Their punches were like tiger roars, and strong winds broke through the air, forming sharp whistling sounds. However, these punch sounds came in an orderly manner, and were strong or weak. There was no way to achieve harmony and unity. Even though their momentum was overwhelming, the strong winds stirred up by each other would even affect each other's fist strength.

Suddenly, Zhou Tieyi changed. Strands of thick energy and blood surged out like rivers. The sound was so loud and mighty that it actually overwhelmed the tiger roaring fist sounds of more than fifty people.

Zhou Tieyi's current qi and blood power is a hundred times that of an ordinary eighth-grade warrior. Naturally, he can completely suppress the fist sounds produced by the qi and blood of fifty people.

This was one of the reasons why he decided to start increasing the number of his personal guards.

The guards were suppressed by Zhou Tieyi's energy and blood, and their boxing skills stagnated, but although they had never been on the battlefield, they could still follow the basic orders. If the commander did not say to stop, then they could not stop.

The roar of a tiger's fist echoed in the sound of flowing river water. The powerful suppressive force of Zhou Tieyi's qi and blood made everyone feel like they were punching in the river, and even the bit of strength that they usually reserved was squeezed out.

And this is just the beginning!
Zhou Tieyi's [Tiger Roar Fist] became more and more powerful, and the long river of qi and blood surrounding his body gradually condensed and turned into the shape of a heavy mountain. Finally, behind him, the huge blood qi formed a blood-colored figure that was eight feet tall.

This bloody figure also waved his fists, but the power of his fists gradually merged with that of A Da and the other four. The blood and energy of A Da and the other four transformed into the five sons of the dragon, sweeping up the five colored ancestral qi of green, red, yellow, white and black, and suppressing the entire five elements formation.

Except for the six of them, all the guards in the Five Elements Formation felt that breathing was difficult, as if two heavy iron pieces were hanging on their palms, making their breathing no longer coherent and difficult to achieve.

At this time, Zhou Tieyi's deep voice rang out, "Tiger Fist, the momentum is like a fierce tiger, the fist is swift, like a tiger descending from the mountain..."

This is the outline of the Tiger Roar Fist, and everyone present knows it by heart.

But now, after hearing what Zhou Tieyi said, the soldiers who originally found it difficult to punch actually had the illusion that a heavy burden had been loosened and they suddenly felt enlightened.

Even the basic [Tiger Roar Fist] seemed to have gained a little more understanding, and this understanding could be truly reflected in his own martial arts god, making the white tiger guard statue above the Dantian Qi Sea more condensed, and naturally better able to suppress the vigorous blood!
The innate divine power [Martial Arts]!
The Blood God Son can only produce one per month, and the power of "Totem" blatantly shows his identity as a god. To be cautious, Zhou Tieyi didn't even dare to brand Ah Da with the totem. After all, the totem will directly appear on the body, forming a specific mark, instead of being hidden in the Dantian Qi Sea like the Blood God Son and becoming invisible.

The only drawback of [Martial Arts] is that the people you influence must practice the same "Martial Arts" as you.

The foundation of his [Martial Arts] is the [Record of Supervising Soldiers and Slaying Demons]. The personal guards in Zhou's mansion have been practicing the [Record of Supervising Soldiers and Slaying Demons] since childhood, which is equivalent to saving him more than ten years of training time. They are born to be the continuation of his authority!
An invisible connection was established, and the boiling blood and energy of the fifty guards separated into a strand, like a silk thread, connecting to the eight-foot-tall giant behind Zhou Tieyi.

In an instant, both sides received huge feedback.

When in the wild world, Zhou Tieyi also used the authority of [Martial Arts] to help the people of the Yanhuang tribe stabilize their blood and break through the ninth level of martial arts. However, in the wild world, he did not have a real body after all, but just a bonfire body, so the feedback he got was more spiritual. He could get a lot of basic practice experience of [Monitoring Soldiers and Killing Demons] in an instant.

In the real world, with one's own flesh and blood as the basis, the feedback obtained is not just martial arts experience.

The huge, ruby-like giant's body suddenly grew another two feet tall and turned into a two-foot-tall real body. Strands of blood and energy attached to his body, making the blood and energy wrapped around the outside more concrete, directly forming a gorgeous armor. In the center of the armor, a tiger head roared. Ordinary people would be immediately frightened by the spirit in it when they looked over.

This is also the reason why ordinary people cannot go to the battlefield. This is why all soldiers on the battlefields of this world need to become ninth-rank soldiers. Only if you integrate into the military formation will you have a chance to resist the mental oppression of various peerless generals on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, once the main general is killed and the army formation is broken, even if there are still tens of thousands of soldiers, they will be defeated directly.

When the terrifying pressure spread with Zhou Tieyi as the center, many masters in the Zhou Mansion felt it.

The first person to sense it was Zhou Tiege, who was often stationed in the Zhou Mansion’s barracks.

He stuck his head out of the tent. At this time, the rest of the guards also stuck their heads out. Their martial arts gods were shaken just now and were also affected by Zhou Tieyi's pressure.

Zhou Tiege thought about it and did not scold the soldiers to go back.

My younger brother has already displayed his extraordinary talent in front of the world. There is no point in hiding it. There is no need to hide it from his own guards. Maybe in a month or two, my younger brother will recruit all 300 guards under his command.

Even Zhou Tiege himself couldn't do this.

Because the cost is too high! The personal guards in Zhou's mansion usually have cultivation resources up to the eighth level.

For example, high-quality blood essence that can break through the seventh level will not be easily rewarded even by a second-class general's mansion unless it has made great contributions.

And if the personal guards want to go a step further and reach the sixth rank, the resources spent will at least double.

During this process, those guards who are not qualified enough will be screened out, which is equivalent to wasting some resources.

Therefore, Zhou Tiege has only supported more than 30 personal guards up to now.

While thinking, Zhou Tiege walked into the training ground.

When he saw the huge true body condensed from qi and blood, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Dharma?

In martial arts practice, if one does not specialize in military tactics at the fifth level, then when one reaches the fourth level, one will be able to condense the Dharma image.

Unlike the fourth-grade military soul of the military strategists, which needs to rely on the army, the Dharmakāya is the external manifestation of the true god of martial arts combined with the ancestral qi of heaven and earth. It pays more attention to individual strength and is also lighter and freer.

The true body of qi and blood behind his brother was ten feet shorter than the Dharmakāya, and had some military spirit. It looked like the further evolution of the long river of qi and blood. As there was no record of it before, even Zhou Tiege could not tell it apart for a while.

For Zhou Tieyi, his whole body is now filled with extreme power, and along with the power comes a burden.

He needs to bear the pressure of the qi and blood of fifty eighth-grade warriors by himself and guide them in practicing the [Tiger Roar Fist].

Of course, for Zhou Tieyi, whose energy and blood are a hundred times that of an eighth-grade martial arts practitioner, this is just a matter of carrying the burden and moving forward. It is not a difficult thing to do.

In the training ground, the fist sounds that were originally difficult to unify gradually became harmonious and unified after the martial arts true body took the lead. The numerous guards united their spirits, and their powerful blood and energy were as brilliant as smoke and mist, first lifting up the five dragon blood forms of Ada and the other four.

Afterwards, the five dragon sons transformed into five elements and guarded Zhou Tieyi.

For a moment, a grand cloud of three acres square condensed, absorbing the endless ancestral qi between heaven and earth. It was the time of drizzling rain in late spring. The ancestral qi was moderate and peaceful, and combined with the changes of the five elements, it was just enough to cleanse the violent temper in the hearts of many warriors.

Half an hour later, Zhou Tieyi retracted his boxing skills, and the huge martial arts body behind him disappeared, ending this training.

He was already very satisfied that he could lead many of his personal guards to practice the Five Elements Formation for the first time, but too much is as bad as too little.

"Go back and comprehend the essence of today's boxing. I have already prepared the blood essence. You should first follow Ah Da and the others and receive the blood essence in exchange for merits, so as to strive to break through to the seventh rank as soon as possible!"

Fifty eighth-rank personal guards can nearly double his strength. If they all use the dragon's blood essence to break through to the seventh rank, then his strength will probably more than double again.

Of course, the prerequisite is that one's own practice cannot be slowed down, and one must be able to withstand the pressure of the qi and blood of many personal guards.

Zhou Tieyi is still confident about this.

The reason why he was able to bear such a strong load today was because many of his personal guards were practicing the Five Elements Formation with him for the first time, which was equivalent to him dragging fifty people to practice by himself.

Practice a few more times, and when the authority of [Martial Arts] has deeply influenced fifty people, their spirits will gradually become one, and then the pressure that he needs to bear will be greatly reduced.

"Thank you, my lord."

The guards also clenched their fists, with uncontrollable excitement and enthusiasm in their eyes and faces, and saluted Zhou Tieyi with their fists clasped.

In just a moment, they have already reaped great rewards. Not only is the speed of condensing their own martial arts godhood more than ten times faster than before, but they also have new, concrete and considerable insights into the [Tiger Roar Fist] that they originally thought they had already mastered.

As the foundation of the [Record of Supervising Soldiers and Killing Demons], every improvement of the [Tiger Roaring Fist] will be directly reflected in the overall practice. It is like a foundation. The more solid it is, the smoother the future practice will be.

Especially since Zhou Tieyi said he would bestow essence and blood. Many of them had cultivation levels only slightly lower than that of Ada and the other four. Now with Zhou Tieyi leading their practice, they were making rapid progress. They estimated that after about ten days, they would be able to start trying to cultivate spirits and break through to the seventh level of martial arts.

Zhou Tieyi nodded without saying anything more. After leading the drill himself, the specific insights gained would depend on one's personal understanding.

He walked up to his eldest brother and asked with a smile, "Brother, how strong am I now?"

Zhou Tiege thought about it seriously and analyzed, "Do you know the difference between Condensing Gang and Planting Spirit? Why is the difference between Condensing Gang and Planting Spirit the key to distinguishing between the lower third grade and the middle third grade warriors?"

He had never had the chance to teach his younger brother these things before. This time when he came back, he originally wanted to teach him slowly, but his younger brother grew too fast, so he had to teach him these things when Zhou Tieyi was still an eighth-grade cultivator.

Zhou Tieyi thought about it and answered easily, "When a warrior condenses his energy, he can mobilize the surrounding ancestral energy of heaven and earth. This is the difference between the middle and lower grades. It can even be said that for most cultivation methods, the lower three grades are cultivating themselves, but the middle three grades can already influence the heaven and earth in turn."

He cultivated and became the [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm], so he naturally understood this point. Even in terms of influencing the heaven and earth, the [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] was much stronger than the condensed energy of a warrior.

A warrior who has condensed his energy can only borrow the power of heaven and earth to change the external environment, but [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] can use its own small world to pry open the external big world, thereby achieving the result of sealing off the big world and trapping the opponent in its own small world.

Zhou Tiege nodded. He was not surprised at all that his brother could think of it so quickly.

He stretched out his palm, and arcs of electricity shuttled between his palms, eager to try at any time.

"A martial artist who has reached the state of Condensation chooses a kind of Heaven and Earth Ancestral Qi to cultivate, and then uses this Heaven and Earth Ancestral Qi to interfere with the Heaven and Earth Power in a balanced state, causing the surrounding environment to change suddenly. Therefore, when he bursts out with all his strength, he can increase his own Qi and blood by more than three times."

"At the same time, with the same mass, the toughness and strength of the Gang Qi far exceeds the power of Qi and blood that you can simply use. Try it."

Zhou Tieyi stretched out his palm, and the heavy and condensed energy and blood directly turned into a smoke of essence and energy, colliding with the power of thunder on his brother's palm.

For a moment, the energy of qi and blood evaporated quickly, but the power of thunder was also consumed a lot.

Zhou Tiege and Zhou Tieyi were both stunned for a moment.

Zhou Tiege smiled and said, "Good boy, your Qi and blood power is much higher in quality than that of ordinary warriors. I even find it difficult to judge it with common sense. This may be the case of one strength defeating ten skills."

Zhou Tieyi was not arrogant, he thought of the general reason.

[Blood God Son] Authority!
Under the influence of this authority, his own qi and blood power also carries a bit of the nature of the ancestral qi of heaven and earth. If he can obtain more authority from the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood, he can even condense the qi twice when he is at the sixth level!

Zhou Tiege did not dwell on this matter any longer. His brother must have many secrets. Since he was unwilling to talk, he did not ask any more questions.

"I just observed the amount of Qi and blood in your body. It is already a hundred times that of an ordinary eighth-grade warrior. Adding to this quality, even if you don't have a spirit yet, your Qi and blood alone can already reach the extreme of the sixth grade, and even approach me, a fifth-grade warrior."

Zhou Tiege said with emotion that before, with the help of thirty personal guards, the blood and energy cloud he could condense was only ten acres, but his brother now had three acres. If he had enough personal guards to cooperate, the quantity would be no weaker than that of an ordinary fifth-grade soldier. It's just that his martial arts skills are still a bit lacking, and he is still practicing the basic [Tiger Roar Fist].

Thinking of this, Zhou Tiege continued, "In the next few days, if you have nothing to do, stay at home. I will do my best to teach you the four fighting skills of our Zhou family. Once you have learned them, you will be considered to have truly entered the realm of martial arts. Only then will you be able to fully mobilize your own vast energy and blood and transform it into strength."

Zhou Tieyi nodded quickly. [Sky-Splitting Knife], [Sky Blue Spear], [Thunder Fire Arrow] and [Wu Ji Shield] symbolize the four military symbols of mountain, forest, wind and fire. Of course, he needs to practice on all of them so that he can perfect his White Tiger Guardian Statue.

However, these four unique skills also need to be ranked in order.

"I want to practice [Sky Blue Spear] and [Thunder Rocket] in the next few days."

Zhou Tiege thought about it and agreed with his brother's choice. It was normal to have a sequence and emphasis in cultivation. Moreover, if his brother wanted to awaken the spirituality of his dragon-patterned wooden steel spear, he should start with the [Sky Blue Spear].
