Chapter Eleven: Lei Hao's Team
Half a year later, the Water Cavern School Field.
Today is the day of the demon soldiers' performance under Leihao's command. The four great leaders of Shuixu Cave are all standing on the commanding platform, and even Hu Daitongzhu, who doesn't get along with Leihao, has appeared. Leihao doesn't bother to care about them, only looking at the 600 demon soldiers below, nodding his head in secret satisfaction.
After reaching the inner dan boundary for half a year, Lei Hao deeply felt the power of the inner dan boundary. Having the power of the law and not having it was simply worlds apart. Although the power of the law in the inner dan realm could only continue to temper the flesh and increase its strength, it undoubtedly had a huge impact on the improvement of one's actual strength.
Lei Hao now deeply feels that killing the inner elixir boundary snake flash in the battle of the Snake Demon Cave was a great fortune. That snake flash was too arrogant, he didn't think that a small demon would have such great power, and he was so self-conceited that he used his own weakness to defeat his enemy's strength. The snake-type demons are good at strange movement speed and attack speed, but not strength. At the beginning, Lei Hao swung his long sword and sent him flying, and then his magic also lost its martial power, because his physical body was far inferior to Lei Hao's. As a cow demon, Lei Hao's greatest strength is his power, so snake flash ended in tragedy.
In the past six months, Lei Hao has been constantly using his magical powers to temper his body. The purple magical powers containing the power of thunder have been continuously refining Lei Hao's physical body, making his physical body improve greatly every day, just like the period of exercise earlier. Now he can easily lift a giant stone weighing 15,000 catties with his physical strength alone.
This is related to the solid foundation laid by Lei Hao before his cultivation, and also had an epiphany in the battle of Snake Demon Cave, breaking through the inner elixir realm and increasing the physical strength by one level to reach the level of a strong inner elixir realm cultivator. After repeatedly tempering with the power of thunder and lightning, although it has not yet reached the level of a demon king's physique, it has already been raised to the limit that can be achieved by the physical strength of the inner elixir realm, only needing a small boost to break through to the demon king's physique.
This is already considered a freak, Lei Hao's speed in breaking through the inner elixir boundary is not dare to say that there is no one after him, but it is absolutely unprecedented, and the foundation is so strong, almost comparable to some alien beasts. It's worth noting that Lei Hao's physical body is just an ordinary wild cow demon, still a residual wild cow demon who was transformed in advance by the demon king using the enlightenment technique. And Lei Hao's magical power has stabilized at the initial peak of the inner elixir boundary, and with a bit more effort, he can break through to the middle stage.
"Alright, little ones! The performance is about to begin!" Lei Hao's loud voice was mixed with the sound of his magic power, which directly stirred up a strong gust of wind.
"Yes, Great Leader." The 600 demon soldiers responded in unison, then quickly dispersed into a formation resembling a radio calisthenics team from the previous life under the leadership of Niu Jiushi'er and Hu Baishi'qi. They began to perform their morning exercises, or rather, their martial arts drills. This so-called martial arts drill was simply a set of basic gun techniques practiced every morning at Shuǐ Zàng Dòng, but even the simplest technique could have varying degrees of power in different demon hands.
"Hah...hah..." Six hundred demon soldiers held wooden guns and practiced, looking strong and powerful, their movements uniform and synchronized, their breathing steady and calm, a world of difference from six months ago. The other three great leaders standing on the commanding platform looked at Lei Hao with envy. Such elite demon soldiers were rare in the entire Water Cavern, only the king's two hundred personal guards could compare to them. As for the others, they didn't even have one team under their command. Lei Hao was also excited, if he were still in his previous life, he would never have had the chance to lead so many powerful demon soldiers. If he hadn't crossed over, he might be preparing to graduate and find a job now, just an ordinary person lost in the crowd... Since he had been given such a great opportunity, Lei Hao was determined to live a magnificent and extraordinary life as a demon.
The shooting was very brief, and the martial performance ended quickly. Six hundred little demons gathered in neat steps. "Report to the Grand Marshal, the martial performance is over." Niu Jiuer saw that Lei Hao, who was standing on the commanding platform, seemed a bit distracted, so he knew that his own leader must be daydreaming again, and he shouted loudly.
Lei Hao, who had come back to his senses, didn't show the slightest bit of embarrassment and looked at his demonic army with a satisfied expression, not caring about the jealous looks on the faces of the other three overlords.
"Men, I am very satisfied with the results of your training. Now, originally fifty brothers are lined up to return." Excited Le Hao didn't care about the praise from the 600 demon soldiers, now he just needed to organize these 600 demon soldiers into a regular army and form combat effectiveness.
Niu ninety-two, Hu eighty-seven and Xiao Huli they all stood out with a look of excitement on their faces, their eyes fixed intently on Lei Hao. They had been waiting for this day for a long time, and in the past six months, they couldn't help but think about reuniting again. That stupid ordinary demon soldier was even more annoying to them. Only now did they realize that only these fifty were brothers, who transformed together, ate and drank together, trained together, and went to battle together. And only Lei Hao was their captain, their leader.
Lei Hao also looked at them with a proud gaze, these were his brothers, his comrades.
"You are all my brothers, my comrades in arms. From now on, you will be the Lei Wei by my side." Lei Hao said to the former 23rd squad, now known as the Lei Wei.
"Originally, the small commanders and squad leaders each found their own brothers. Give you a stick of incense time. Those who have not gathered neatly after one stick of incense will be kicked out of my Lei Hao's team." After finishing speaking, Lei Hao shouted at the remaining demon army again. As soon as Lei Hao finished shouting, the low-ranking demon army was in chaos. Lei Hao didn't care about it either, he wanted to see if this group of demon soldiers could become a real army without Niu Jiuer.
After a stick of incense, all the little demons stood still, although they were not very neat due to their number, nor were they chaotic.
"From now on, you are the demon army under my command, and I grant you the name of Lei Zijun. The training from now on will be the responsibility of your respective small commanders and team leaders. Today's martial performance ends here." With a wave of his hand, Lei Hao's surging magic power lifted up a purple flag with the character "Lei" about 10 zhang high, standing tall on the Point General Platform, representing Lei Hao's position and influence in Shuigoudong.
"Disperse." After the flag was raised, Lei Hao dispersed the low-ranking demon army and turned to walk towards Lei Wei on one side.
"Follow me..." Lei Hao led Lei Wei directly into the Kan Yuan Mountains, to the small training ground where they had trained half a year ago. In less than half a year, this originally flat empty space was already overgrown with weeds. "It's been half a year, we haven't trained together here in half a year. This half year, I thank you for helping me train the Lei Zong Army." Lei Hao said to them with some emotion. "Boss, you're too polite. You say it and we do it, no need to thank us," Niu Jiuer frowned and replied. These brothers who had been following Lei Hao from the start still called him 'boss', which made Lei Hao feel very comfortable. These brothers hadn't distanced themselves from him due to differences in status and strength.
"Alright, Tiger Eighty-Seven, go catch some blood food and let Pig Head cook something delicious. Today we'll have a big feast." Le Hao said with a smile to Tiger Eighty-Seven, who used to catch wild beasts and Pig Demon Pig Fifty-Six would cook them. People say pigs are stupid, but this Pig Demon had a talent for cooking, having learned some simple methods of cooking wild beasts after watching Le Hao do it once, and getting better with each try.
The meat dishes made by him were very delicious. Later on, Leihao became lazy and didn't want to lift a hand, every time the cooked food was done by him, making Leihao exclaim that a pig head is indeed a pig head.
A group of little monsters cheered, and the cooked food was a rare delicacy for them. Lei Hao had always asked them to eat blood food, so they really hadn't eaten cooked food before. Although they all understood that Lei Hao was doing this for their own good, those who had eaten cooked food found it difficult to swallow blood food again.
………
After finishing eating, the sky had slowly darkened, and the moon had also shyly poked out its head.
After the moon shed its hazy light on the ground, Lei Hao revealed his purpose for coming here. It turned out that Lei Hao was going to teach "Shen Mo Jue" to Lei Wei, a decision he made after careful consideration.
Lei Hao wants to become stronger, but what's the point of walking the long road of cultivation alone? It's said that solo pleasure is not as good as shared pleasure, and since he has a group of such sincere brothers, Lei Hao will become stronger with them. Together, they'll enjoy the long life.
Lei Hao also understood that although the Demon King hadn't said anything about not spreading it, he could tell with his legs that he definitely wouldn't agree to Lei Hao passing on the "Divine Demon Scripture" to ordinary little demons. But who was Lei Hao? He was a university student who had received over 20 years of quality education. If he didn't understand anything else, at least he understood how to deal with things from top to bottom and have policies in place.
So, he won't take out that "Divine Demon Scripture", but he can directly explain the meaning of "Divine Demon Decision" to them, let them understand the method of advancing to the inner dan realm on their own, plus Lei Hao, a living inner dan realm, helping beside him, how could it be less effective than a broken book?
"Our physical body is not unable to absorb spiritual energy, but rather our dantian is unable to retain it. The spiritual energy we absorb will disperse unknowingly and unconsciously, making it impossible to achieve the goal of cultivation... Therefore, we must keep all the absorbed spiritual energy within our physical body. When the spiritual energy accumulated in our body is sufficient and pure enough, breaking through the inner dan boundary won't be so difficult." Lei Hao slowly explained the principles of the "Divine Demon Scripture" to these fifty brothers.
"How can we know if there is enough and pure spiritual energy in our physical body?" asked the little fox.
"Good question, usually when the spiritual energy is refined to a certain extent, it will turn into a liquid-like spiritual energy. This kind of spiritual energy liquid won't be lost in the flesh body. When there are 20 drops of this spiritual energy liquid inside the flesh body, you can try to break through the inner elixir boundary. Of course, having more is also fine, as long as it's not too much." Lei Hao replied seriously.
Looking at the bewildered eyes, Lei Hao rubbed his temples and said: "Is this simple truth so hard for you to understand? Or did I not make myself clear? Why are you all looking like that?" After finishing speaking, seeing the still bewildered eyes, Lei Hao knew he had asked in vain.
"Never mind, just know that after absorbing all the spiritual energy, it's dispersed throughout your body." Lei Hao said helplessly, rubbing his temples.
The bewildered little demons finally understood, "Can't you just say it directly...?" Pighead muttered another sentence, and Lei Hao's mouth twitched into a difficult smile again. "Less chatter, all of you absorb the spiritual energy for me..." Lei Hao weakly waved his right hand. The demons heard this and all sat cross-legged, clearing their minds to meditate...
After a moment, all fifty of Lei Wei's brothers had entered meditation. Lei Hao scanned them with his divine sense and furrowed his brow. The entire Lei Wei squad was meditating together to absorb the incoming spiritual energy, but it was surprisingly so weak. Even with their absorption abilities, they wouldn't make much progress even if they sat for a whole night.
Lei Hao thought for a moment, walked to the center of the Lei Wei array, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and entered meditation. The divine thoughts in the inner elixir realm quickly pulled the surrounding energy closer, soon forming a thin layer of spiritual energy mist. After more than ten minutes, the thin spiritual energy mist had turned into a thick white spiritual energy mist.
A thick fog of spiritual energy enveloped the entire small school grounds, and Niú Jiǔ Shí èr (Cow 92) and Xiao Hú Lǐ (Little Fox) along with a group of little demons in meditation only felt that the external spiritual energy was becoming more abundant and denser. Each time they breathed out and took in spiritual energy, it became easier and purer; the pure spiritual energy dispersed throughout their bodies, making them feel refreshed all over.
Time always flies by quickly when cultivating. When Lei Hao opened his eyes, he found that it was already noon, and they had been cultivating for a whole night.
After Leihao stopped cultivating, the brothers who felt that their spiritual energy had become thinner also slowly woke up from their meditation. "How do you feel?" Leihao asked with a smile, looking at the crowd of demons. "Great, I've never felt so good before, my body is full of power." Niu Jiuer said excitedly. "And you guys?" "Great, I feel warm inside, I think I'm smarter now." This was the voice of the little fox. "I feel like I can jump dozens of feet away right now." This was the voice of a deer demon...
"Alright, alright, from now on we'll come here to cultivate every night and continue to train our physical bodies during the day..." Lei Hao stopped a group of little demons who were about to give their thoughts on cultivation.
"Yes, head..." The demons cheered and jumped up.
