The next day, early in the morning, five hundred Huashan disciples, dressed in white robes and with their backs firmly straight, entered the battlefield one after another to fight in a duel. Their laughter could be heard from afar.
“Big Brother Lin is here!” there was a loud scream as a young man in a purple robe appeared at the arena.
All five hundred masters immediately became silent and quickly lined up in rows.
Ten teams of fifty people - distributed exactly across the arenas in which they fought the day before.
Lin Yi looked at them with satisfaction. Yesterday they lay on the ground, but inner strength got rid of the wounds overnight.
Another advantage of people who discovered inner strength was rapid recovery. Such fighters could not be afraid of wounds at all if they were not fatal.
Having summoned the ten strongest, he looked at them and said loudly so that everyone could hear:
“Five hundred people are divided into ten teams of fifty people. You are their commanders.”
“That’s right!” they exclaimed joyfully.
Lin Yi then pointed to himself:“You report directly to me, the captain of the Hangzhou Law Enforcement Agency..”
“Captain!" they shouted again.
Lin Yi pointed to Bai, Hai, and Xiaoyu:
“These three are my deputies. In the future, if I am not there, you will obey them. If they don’t exist either, then you make the decisions yourself. Now you are leaders, learn to think with your heads.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the markers on the map updated. Now Lin Yi was listed as a captain, his three were deputy captains, and these ten people were squad leaders, with complete lists of subordinates.
Five hundred four people.
And right now he saw names and health bars above each head.
.˙.
Having founded the organization, Lin Yi began training. First they had to learn the formation. Five hundred people stood motionless under the hot sun. Lin Yi and his three companions watched them silently..
Exactly one hour passed, people on the side began to look at them with contempt..
Hu De watched silently the entire time. Yesterday, he expected Lin Yi to immediately take up training or go into battle against the enemies of Hangzhou. Instead, something completely incomprehensible happened.
“Old Man Hu, Mr. Lin, what are you doing?” a voice sounded from behind, with undisguised mockery.
He turned around sharply and saw twenty elders slowly entering the shadows. They almost laughed out loud at this scene..
Well, he himself didn’t understand anything, and although he sided with the temporary authorities, he couldn’t anger the elders of the Hangzhou Court, so he said in a mysterious voice:
“If you don't understand anything, then just watch. Elder Brother Lin came up with his own training method and is demonstrating it right now.”
“Training? I have been visiting various sects and schools for decades, but I have never seen people being trained to pretend to be trees, ha ha ha! Or our Mr. Lin believes that they, like plants, will become stronger by bathing in the sun?”
All the elders laughed, not caring about their honor.
A day earlier, they had heard that Lin Yi had bought everyone, including even Hu De, with supreme martial arts techniques. This sentence made them drool too. But remembering his attitude, they decided that they wouldn’t get anything anyway, so they weren’t going to bow down to the impudent mongrel in vain.
However, they all felt jealous of Hu De, so they couldn't help themselves and came to mock him.
“Hahaha, Mr. Lin doesn't know the difference between people and plants? Where has it been seen that people become stronger from the sun??”
“Hmph, Mr. Lin is a genius of Huashan. Maybe people really do get stronger when they stand in the sun?”
“And it is true that pathetic mediocre dogs like us can understand?”
“Ha ha ha!”
The elders laughed, Hu De felt irritated.
“Stop this circus,” he barked. “Either watch in silence, or leave and don’t interfere.”
“Hey, old man Hu, did he really buy you with the golden sword technique? Can't you talk to us anymore? If possible, let's go and eat something cool in the shade..”
“Yeah, let's see from afar how beneficial it is to stand under the sun, ha ha ha!”
The group of old men left, although ridicule continued to be heard from them. Hu De, breathing through his teeth, growled:
“Senior Brother Lin is right, all these elders are just trash, preventing Huashan from developing! But they have so much talent, they could all achieve success! I'm afraid to imagine that I could turn into one of them!”
Despite the loud words, Hu De still felt uncomfortable and his face turned pale. Looking at the five hundred people lined up in rows under the scorching sun, he muttered under his breath: «But what is Elder Brother Lin up to? Hope this works. Otherwise we will become a laughing stock in the eyes of the elders».
.˙.
Not far away, the elders sat and chuckled. Lin Yi heard them, of course, but his face did not reflect any emotion. Only he knew how this training method worked.
Swimming in the sun? Yes, these idiots who created twelve caravans in fifty years could not come up with anything else.
However, if the entire fist world, which puts everything on individualization, did not think of the benefits of militarization, then there is nothing to be surprised at. But the main advantage of discipline was that scattered fighters, thinking only about themselves, turned into groups acting together.
Therefore, simply following the order “at attention” taught people discipline and helped them act together.
It’s like with children here. First learn to stand, then move, then run. But not one by one, but together, with the same spirit of camaraderie. Weak fingers, united, turn into a fist.
The endurance of third class experts could not be compared to that of ordinary people. After standing for six hours they didn’t even feel tired..
Lin Yi nodded, extremely pleased with their calmness, and immediately began the next stage.
This went on for three days.
The elders sat in a cool room and laughed all three days. Hu De was already full of hatred, but Lin Yi remained steadfast. He named workouts that ordinary people could do, gradually increasing the difficulty. Gradually they moved from walking to running, and from that to sword training.
The simplest techniques, not even military techniques, but ordinary chopping and piercing blows.
After another three days, they began to strike simultaneously and not leaving the imaginary enemy a single chance to approach. Raise the sword, lower it. Take it to the side, swing it sharply.
On the tenth day of training, early in the morning, all the fighters again lined up in an even formation.
Rising to his full height, Lin Yi ordered:
“First Huashan Style, Appearance of White Clouds!”
At the same time, everyone's knees bent slightly, their swords left their scabbards, and in a single whistle they described a horizontal arc..
It was as if a ray of light appeared and disappeared in front of people, the accuracy and speed of movement was amazing.
One by one, Lin Yi named the eleven techniques of the silver sword art of Huashan. Five hundred people performed each of them as one. The movements were filled with lethality, even he himself felt a slight tingling on the back of his head as he watched them.
These people, even abandoned by Huashan, were able to discover inner strength and achieve perfection. In just ten days, they learned a lot from their comrades and their techniques surpassed the level of the strongest of them.
The elders watching this sat with their mouths open. Wine from a bottle filled a glass and spilled onto the table, but no one even noticed.
“How can this be?!”
“How could Huashan sword art ever become so strong??!”
“I have a feeling that we couldn't defeat them even all together. I don’t see a single vulnerability or weakness in them. When so many swords attack at once, there is even nowhere to dodge!”
“Is this really Huashan sword art? How can it be so deadly?!”
The elders were amazed, they refused to believe it. Five hundred men drew their swords from their scabbards, performed eleven moves, and returned the blades home with such precision that the movement sounded like one loud whistle.
They didn't understand why, but they felt that this is what real strength looks like..
If they were to fight against five hundred third-class experts, all twenty elders would run away with their tails between their legs.
What to do with a bristling hedgehog, protected from all directions by deadly spines? No matter where you look, you simply cannot approach them. They even ran as one unit, no one lagged behind or overtook.
The Huashan sword art in the hands of these people looked like real magic!
The elders had laughed at them for so many days, but now they felt goosebumps crawling over them.
They hated Lin Yi, but with every reception of five hundred people they felt numbness in the back of their heads.
They were a little shaken.
