"Open the Force Panel!"
Upon successfully unlocking the feature, Zhao Feng immediately issued the command. He was eager to explore its capabilities and how it might shape his future.
"Force Panel activated."
Force Master: Zhao Feng
Members: 5
Force's Primary Cultivation Technique: None
(Once a cultivation technique is selected as the force's primary technique, it can be transmitted directly through the panel, restricted from being shared externally, and revoked by the force master at any time.)
Level: Level 1 (Recruit over 500 members to upgrade to Level 2.)
Spiritual energy items can be exchanged to boost cultivation speed.
Can view subordinates' loyalty levels.
A Level 1 force grants 100 free attribute points per month for distribution among subordinates.
The force master gains double cultivation speed.
(Note: Only subordinates with a loyalty level above 80 can receive free attribute point allocations.)
"Check loyalty levels," Zhao Feng commanded.
The panel displayed:
Wei Quan: Loyalty 90
Zhang Han: Loyalty 85
Luo Hua: Loyalty 81
Liu Wang: Loyalty 82
Zhuang Wei: Loyalty 83
"These are my true brothers in arms," Zhao Feng thought, feeling reassured.
These five officers, who had shared life-and-death experiences with him on the battlefield, had developed a bond that was beyond words.
"A Level 1 force granting 100 free attribute points per month this is excellent," Zhao Feng mused with a smile.
This was just the beginning. He imagined what it would be like at higher levels, such as Level 2 or Level 3.
"Swear allegiance to me, and I will provide you with wealth beyond your military stipends, ensuring comfort and prosperity for your families," Zhao Feng declared.
As he spoke, five small chests appeared before the group, each containing at least fifty taels of gold.
However, the officers weren't dazzled by the wealth. Instead, they were shocked by how the gold appeared out of thin air.
"Master, could it be... are you an immortal?" Wei Quan's voice trembled, and the others gazed at Zhao Feng as if he were a divine being.
This ability to conjure items seemingly from nowhere was beyond comprehension.
Zhao Feng didn't address their astonishment directly. He knew that the more mysterious and powerful he appeared, the more loyal they would become.
"Spiritual energy items can accelerate cultivation. I wonder if jade artifacts qualify," Zhao Feng thought.
He retrieved a few jade pieces from his personal storage space.
"Spiritual energy items detected. They can boost cultivation speed," the panel notified.
The jade artifacts displayed convertible attribute points.
"These jade pieces indeed contain spiritual energy. It seems the jade artifacts left behind by the King of Han, which he couldn't take with him, have become treasures for building my force," Zhao Feng thought, smiling inwardly.
"With hundreds of jade pieces, I can enhance their cultivation speed once I grant them techniques," he concluded.
Determined to give the group a significant boost, Zhao Feng continued:
"In addition to gold and silver, I can grant you extraordinary strength."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and allocated 20 attribute points to each officer's physique.
The change was immediate. Five beams of light enveloped the officers, who felt the transformation instantly.
"My arrow wound is healing!" Zhang Han exclaimed, astonished as he clutched his chest where the injury had been.
"I'm feeling the same the wounds are healing," Luo Hua added, equally astonished.
"I've enhanced your physique. This is just the beginning. From now on, each month, you'll receive further enhancements not just in physique but also in strength and speed," Zhao Feng explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the five officers knelt again, vowing, "We swear eternal loyalty to our master!"
"Furthermore," Zhao Feng continued, "I will grant you a cultivation technique, allowing you to enhance your power through training."
"A cultivation technique?" The officers were stunned, unable to believe their ears.
"Select the Force's Primary Cultivation Technique: [Intermediate Inner Power]," Zhao Feng commanded.
At the moment, he possessed two techniques. One was [Dragon Elephant Technique], his cultivation method, which was far superior and kept as his trump card. The other was [Intermediate Inner Power].
"Transmit the first layer of the technique," Zhao Feng instructed.
In an instant, the five officers felt a surge of knowledge fills their minds a complete set of instructions for the technique's first layer.
"This is a genuine cultivation technique!"
"Master, thank you for your generous gift!"
The officers were overwhelmed with gratitude.
"By following this technique, your strength will steadily improve over time. The first stage, the Acquired Realm, is achievable through consistent training. Once you master it, you'll reach the peak of the Acquired Realm," Zhao Feng explained.
"Understood!" the five officers responded in unison, their faces still glowing with excitement.
After instructing them on the basics, Zhao Feng dismissed them.
"These five are utterly loyal to me. No wonder, throughout history, military leaders with personal forces could so easily stage uprisings," Zhao Feng reflected.
"It all boils down to soldiers following their general, not their king. The general's authority over his troops is paramount," he realized.
Although Zhao Feng was only a captain at the moment, his influence over his men was undeniable.
"Tonight, after cultivating, my overall attributes should surpass 1,000," Zhao Feng thought.
He knew his strength mainly came from picking up attribute points. His cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Technique was supplementary, enhancing what he had already gained.
"Once my attributes exceed 1,000, I can fully master the first layer of the Dragon Elephant Technique, leading to a dramatic increase in my power," he calculated.
As Zhao Feng began to cultivate, his internal energy flowed seamlessly, guided by the technique.
Compared to usual, his speed had doubled.
"This is the force master's advantage a 100% increase in cultivation speed."
"Normally, I gain about ten attribute points per day. With this boost, the growth will be even greater," he thought with satisfaction.
Continuing his practice, Zhao Feng set his sights on surpassing the 1,000 attribute mark.
