Jin Wen exhaled softly, composed himself.
Quietly scrutinize Han Feng.
"Offer sacrifices before the memorial tablets of the past leaders of the Armored Sect, and then perform the nine-bow ceremony. The ceremony before entering the sect is then complete."
The voice just fell.
Dian Qing had taken out the weapon that the Wei Wu soldiers used in the past and presented it to Han Feng with both hands.
Han Feng solemnly accepted the old, hard bow handed to him by his senior brother, Dian Qing.
He then walked to the left corner of the secret chamber, knelt before the rows of memorial tablets, and respectfully kowtowed nine times. He then placed the old, hard bow in his hand squarely on the wooden table in front of the memorial tablets.
"Get up, from now on, we are one family."
Jin Wen offered a slight gesture of support with one hand.
Han Feng stood up and stood respectfully to the side, listening to the teachings.
"Your senior brother Dian Qing will first teach you the training of the Hundred Refinements of the Shield Armor."
"If there is anything you don't understand, I will answer it for you when I have some free time. After all, as the Grand General of Wei, I have heavy political duties and am not a full-time leader of the Armored Sect."
"Disciple will obey Master's orders!" Han Feng bowed to Jin Wen, saying each word respectfully.
"For the initial stage, you should focus on cultivation within the sect. Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, I will arrange for you to join the active Wei Wuzu Legion."
316. The Art of Shield and Armor Forging
"After a period of training, your shield and armor will be refined and have a legitimate origin."
"This is the first point."
Jin Wen sized up Han Feng and, seeing no fear of the battlefield in his eyes, secretly nodded in approval.
He then went on to explain his reasons.
"The inspiration for the Shield and Armor Hundredfold Forging came from a special soldier training method jointly created by the God of War Wu Qi and a group of medical masters and martial arts experts."
"Therefore, in order to refine the shield and armor to its peak, integrate the protective true energy into the bones and blood, and gain experience on the battlefield, these are indispensable prerequisites."
"This is the second point."
Han Feng nodded, indicating his understanding.
At that moment, a bold idea suddenly flashed into his mind.
"If we combine the Dissolution Technique, the Rebirth Technique, and the Divine Power Technique with the Hundred Refinements of Shields and Armor, wouldn't we be able to create an invincible army that can sweep across the world?"
"The super-efficient absorption of food nutrients by the Dissolution Technique, the terrifying restorative power of the Rebirth Technique, the astonishing brute force of the Divine Power Technique, and the invincible defense of the Hundred-Forged Shield Armor."
"Unifying the world is no longer an unattainable dream."
Thoughts swirling.
Han Feng suddenly realized that, without even realizing it, he had already grasped the trump card that could change the world order.
"Before I reach the peak of my own strength, I must never reveal even a trace of the three secret techniques of dissolution, rebirth, and divine power."
"otherwise……"
"Second Junior Brother, Second Junior Brother?" Dian Qing gently poked Han Feng with his thick finger, bringing him back to his senses, and asked in confusion, "What were you thinking about just now, Second Junior Brother?"
"Oh, I was just thinking, Master, aren't you afraid I'll leak the secrets of the Armored Sect since you're being so frank with us?" Han Feng reacted quickly, subtly changing the subject.
As the second disciple finished speaking, General Jin Wen lowered his head and gazed at him solemnly. After a long while, he slowly spoke, saying, "At this moment, we are one."
"Among those in high positions in the world, there are many who harbor fear and dream day and night of completely destroying the Wei Wuzu and erasing their true bloodline."
"If you reveal even the slightest secret, do you think you can survive?"
“Those people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. They would rather kill thousands of innocent people than allow any possibility of survival. They will do everything they can to eliminate them completely.”
Upon hearing his mentor's words, Han Feng felt a sudden sense of clarity.
It turned out that he had unknowingly embarked on a journey from which there was no turning back, which was why his mentor was so frank in telling him the secret of the Armored Gate.
"Disciple understands!" Han Feng cupped his hands in a respectful bow, solemnly paying homage to his master.
After a moment's thought, Jin Wen turned to Han Feng and solemnly instructed him: "Aqing, you are responsible for teaching the second disciple the art of shield and armor crafting, and for properly arranging his residence and daily affairs within the sect."
"Especially those twin maids, they must not be allowed to show their faces in public easily."
"Otherwise, it will easily lead to a lot of trouble."
"Disciple understands, and will immediately instruct them." Han Feng nodded in response, his mind clear.
After a day of rest and recuperation, and getting familiar with his surroundings, Han Feng's mind gradually calmed down.
At dawn the next day, Senior Brother Dian Qing led Han Feng into the open-air training ground, where they saw two burly men dressed in gray with bulging tendons already waiting.
They each gripped a thick black cloth stick, as thick as an arm, and awaited instructions.
"Second Junior Brother, take off your clothes, the cultivation is about to begin." Dian Qing stood to one side, explaining the secrets of the cultivation technique to Han Feng.
"The skill of my Armored Sect lies in treating one's own body as a shield, forging it through countless trials and tribulations."
317. Mysterious Body-Refining Potion
“The cultivation process is like forging iron and casting a shield. It requires external force and skills to repeatedly hammer the body.”
"With the addition of medicinal baths and dietary therapy, the effects of the treatment will be deeply imprinted on the body."
"This journey is arduous and exhausting, even painful, but this rigorous training is indispensable for the medicinal bath and dietary therapy to be effective."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I can definitely endure it." Han Feng nodded in agreement, then threw his clothes on the ground and turned to Dian Qing: "Senior Brother, I'm all ready~~."
Dianqing Weidian—its first part points to Han Feng.
Upon seeing this, the burly men on both sides immediately brandished their black cloth sticks and, using the unique striking techniques and force of the armored kung fu, attacked Han Feng from both sides.
"Clap clap clap!"
In the blink of an eye, Han Feng's entire body was covered in red, swollen, and bruised marks from being whipped with a cloth stick.
He gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed, sweat poured down his face, and his whole body ached as if cut by knives, yet he still stood firm.
During his cultivation, he used his inner energy to control the blood and qi in his body, following the unique circulation path of the Hundred Refinements Shield, and skillfully blended it with the impact of external forces, tempering himself from the inside out.
Dian Qing stood to the side, his bright eyes wide open, intently examining the second disciple's condition after being attacked, providing guidance as needed, and explaining the key points of the Hundred Refinements of Shield Armor training.
"Second junior brother, you must remember that while being struck by external force, you must also simultaneously cultivate your own internal energy and blood."
"However, internal cultivation to strengthen muscles and bones will also consume a lot of qi and blood."
"When you notice your qi and blood gradually weakening, you can stop your training and instead take a medicinal bath to nourish your body."
"Then use food therapy to replenish the qi and blood that have been depleted in the body."
"Once the body has adapted, the cycle of training and replenishment will resume. First, use a cloth stick, then a wooden stick, then an iron stick, a spiked club, and then spiked nails..."
"Only when ordinary swords and spears can no longer harm you, and halberds can be used to protect you, will you be qualified to go to the battlefield and fight against the rampaging chariots with your own body, thus further enhancing your training."
"Only when one can crash into a car without injury can one begin to hone one's internal strength, moving from hardness to softness."
"If one can combine strength and gentleness, being able to withstand the force of swords and spears without injury, and also resist the invasion of internal forces, it signifies that one's external skills have reached a high level of mastery."
"At that time, the flaws in external martial arts will be deeply hidden within the body and difficult to detect."
While enduring the excruciating pain, Han Feng also regulated his internal energy and blood to strengthen his body, and had to listen attentively to his senior brother's teachings.
Fortunately, Dian Qing didn't talk much. He would only offer a few pointers when the intensity of the training was slightly reduced. Most of the time, he would just stand by and watch silently.

Soon after, Dian Qing waved his hand, signaling the external forces to stop training the second disciple.
"Second junior brother, come with me. Now is the best time to absorb the effects of the medicinal bath."
"Hiss—" As soon as Han Feng moved, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.
.. ........ ...
.. ........ ...
"Can you still hold on?" Dianqing asked with concern.
"It's bearable, I can endure it." Han Feng forced himself to endure the pain, his mouth twisted, but he still resolutely took a step forward: "When practicing external martial arts, this little bit of pain is nothing to worry about."
The two brothers, one after the other, entered the adjacent room.
Inside the room, there was a stone pool about three feet deep, which was now filled with a scalding, dark red liquid.
Without hesitation, Dian Qing lifted his second disciple's thin body with one hand.
He gently brushed his lower body with his left hand, removing all his clothes, and then handed him a hollow, thin bamboo stick.
"Hold this in your mouth and use it for breathing."
Han Feng followed the instructions without hesitation.
Immediately, his senior brother Dian Qing placed him in the medicinal pool and pointed to the liquid, indicating that he should immerse himself in it. (Yi Yi)
