The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 572: The First Real Combat After Strength Enhancement

A month flashed by in an instant.

During this time, everyone, under Ye Chenfeng’s training, nursed old wounds while collecting new ones daily. After the first training session, everyone realized the benefits of consuming stamina-boosting medicines, especially Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, who drank three bowls of it. Their strength had increased significantly.

Once they knew the potent effects of the stamina medicines, they all wanted to drink more during the second training session, but Ye Chenfeng flatly refused. He argued that a steady increase in strength was the proper approach, and using strong medicine should be a one-time thing. Continuous use could potentially hinder the improvement in their abilities and even cause adverse effects on their health.

Moreover, the maximum limit for these stamina medicines was five bowls per person, which was enough to deplete one’s physical power in an instant. If someone were to consume six bowls at once, there was more than a ninety percent chance they would faint immediately.

In the Cangyun Mountain Range, where wild beasts were rampant, Ye Chenfeng was there to increase their strength, not to send them to their deaths. So, in the past month, for the initial twenty days, Ye Chenfeng had them drink two bowls of the stamina medicine before sending them into the Cangyun Mountains to complete his training tasks.

When Ye Chenfeng felt that everyone could handle the effects of two bowls, he increased the dose to three bowls for the last ten days, awakening the True Energy Force within them all.

Unlike the True Energy Force cultivated by ancient martial artists using cultivation techniques, the True Energy Force within Wang Li and the others was stimulated through pushing their limits. There was no difference between these two kinds of True Energy Force. Now Wang Li and his group could also be considered ancient martial artists.

Now that Wang Li and the others had True Energy Force within them, Ye Chenfeng brought out the Turtle Breathing Technique and Xuantian Step Technique he had acquired. The Turtle Breathing Technique was certainly not suitable for them, but the Xuantian Step Technique was rather mystical. If that ancient martial artist from the Xuantian Sect hadn’t been far weaker than Ye Chenfeng, he wouldn’t have lost so miserably.

The Xuantian Step Technique could shrink distance into inches. Against an opponent with equal or slightly superior strength, speed became crucial. That was why Ye Chenfeng taught the Xuantian Step to Wang Li and the rest. Of course, Ye Chenfeng also took some time to learn it himself.

Over the month, while supervising everyone’s training, Ye Chenfeng continued his practice with the two women without any delay, and his Soul Force became increasingly pure day by day.

...

In Huaxia Country, within a meeting room in Capital City.

Yu Fengnian, Yang Yuan, the senior Yes Ye Zhenhong, and the senior Wus Wu Anguo, among other high-ranking officials, were present. The expressions on Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan’s faces were particularly grave. Their families had suffered heavy losses in the incident with the Songs, allowing the Yes and the Wus to reap a fortune in gold foil.

They had received another piece of very bad news: the international mercenary group Sky Fiend had assassinated several high-profile figures in the south of Huaxia Country and escaped into the Cangyun Mountain Range.

Sky Fiend was one of the top ten mercenary groups worldwide, ranking second. It was said that every member of Sky Fiend possessed formidable strength, and even the members of Huaxia’s Soldier King Group might not be a match for them. No wonder Yu Fengnian and the others looked so worried.

After some contemplation, Yu Fengnian said, "This time Sky Fiend infiltrated our Huaxia and killed several important figures in our southern region. I believe some other country must have employed them. The members of Sky Fiend dared to wreak havoc within our borders, causing trouble so brazenly. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Old Yu, the members of Sky Fiend have fled into the Cangyun Mountain Range. With the assassination of several important figures in the south, panic has already begun to set in. If we are unable to resolve the issue with Sky Fiend’s members promptly, I fear the consequences may be beyond our imagination," said Yang Yuan after careful consideration.

"Old Yu, we must send members of the Soldier King Group into the Cangyun Mountain Range to encircle and suppress the members of the Skythunder Mercenary Group, instead of wasting time here," the old master of the Wus said very directly.

"An Guo, you may not know, but there are rumors that the strength of the Skythunder Mercenary Group is too formidable. I fear even the Soldier King Group may not be their match. However, we can only send the members of the Soldier King Group into action for now. If the Soldier King Group cannot handle them, we’ll make other plans," Yu Fengnian knew he had to make a decision on the spot, he could not hesitate over and over again.

Yu Fengnian immediately contacted Zhao Fei, the current commander of the Soldier King Group. After the incident involving the Songs was exposed, the higher-ups quickly settled on a new candidate for the commander. Zhao Fei was a member of the former Soldier King Group with formidable strength. When Wang Li and others followed Ye Chenfeng to leave the Soldier King Group, a part of the members, led by Zhao Fei, stayed behind. With Zhao Fei’s qualifications and strength, he was more than capable of taking on the role of the commander, especially since the elderly higher-ups could not find anyone else suitable for the position at the moment.

After Yu Fengnian made contact with the Soldier King Group and issued the orders, the high-level meeting was adjourned.

After leaving the high-level meeting room, the old master of the Wus said to the old master of the Yes, "Zhenhong, it seems like Chenfeng and the others are training in the Cangyun Mountain Range, aren’t they? I think we should notify Chenfeng in advance about this matter. In case they encounter the Skythunder Mercenary Group, they should be mentally prepared."

The old master of the Yes nodded in agreement and said, "An Guo, you’re right. I’ll contact the young man Chenfeng immediately."

Meanwhile.

Outside the Cangyun Mountain Range, Wang Li, Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, Brother Hu, and some eighty to ninety people were lined up neatly. Ye Chenfeng stood in front of everyone. After a month of training, everyone’s strength had improved significantly. Ye Chenfeng was pondering how to arrange a real battle training session for the group.

Ye Chenfeng, facing the crowd though injured, but full of vigor, spoke loudly, "I am very satisfied with everyone’s performance over the last month. I hope you can keep this up. Every one of you here can certainly become a top contender in this world. Next, I’ll assign today’s training task."

"Buzz buzz~"

Ye Chenfeng’s phone in his pocket vibrated. In this remote mountain range, it was generally impossible to receive a signal, but Ye Chenfeng’s phone was a new model developed by the military that could receive strong signals even in the deep forests and mountains.

Ye Chenfeng took the phone out of his pocket and upon seeing that it was his grandfather Ye Zhenhong calling, he pressed the answer button right away, "Grandpa, what made you think of calling me today?"

"Chenfeng, I called to tell you something. The Skythunder Mercenary Group, ranked second internationally, has killed several high-ranking officials in the south of our Huaxia Country and has fled into the Cangyun Mountain Range. I am afraid you might encounter them in the mountains. It is said that the members of the Skythunder Mercenary Group are no less strong than the members of our Huaxia Country’s Soldier King Group, so Chenfeng, you must be careful," the old master Yes said over the phone.

"Okay, Grandpa, we will be careful," Ye Chenfeng responded with a smile tugging at his lips, as if a pillow had been offered just as he was wishing for a sleep.

Ye Chenfeng was worried about finding an opportunity for real battle training for Wang Li and the others! The arrival of the Skythunder Mercenary Group was indeed timely. They could serve perfectly as the whetstone for Wang Li and the others’ training.

After Ye Chenfeng finished the call with his grandfather, he looked at everyone before him and said, "I know you must be itching to test your improved strength over this period. Today I’ll arrange a real combat training exercise to fully satisfy your craving. Now is the time to find out how much your strength has increased compared to before. I am looking forward to your performance." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendation tickets and monthly votes.
