Chapter 63 The Cultivation Method of Iron Shirt
Even last-minute preparation can be effective.
Even Wang Ce himself didn't expect that the five factories didn't need him to do any ideological work at all. As soon as they heard that they were going to fight the Japanese, they were all more enthusiastic than the last.
"Brother Ce, it seems these factories have been hiding something. They all claimed to be poor before, but now that they're talking about fighting the Japanese, they're spending so lavishly."
"Longmen Bamboo and Wood previously said that they found a vine on the third hunting and gathering route, and even said they would make you vine armor."
"So many days have passed and there's been no movement at all, but just now he told me that he can produce a hundred sets."
Wang Ce's eyelids twitched. Sure enough, none of those who could run factories were easy to deal with.
However, he could understand that anyone with a brain wouldn't easily reveal their hand.
If everyone were to bow down and worship him without reservation the moment he unleashed his domineering aura, that would truly be a miracle.
Of course, Zhou Jiakun was an exception. He had previously sent Zhou Jiakun to scout out the Haneda Group, but he didn't expect that this cunning and cowardly guy would actually go and get the job done.
"The black rare earth chemical plant provided a lot of gunpowder. To put it simply, our ships couldn't hold all the gunpowder it produced."
"This attack on Haneda Housing Complex will be like a barrage of artillery fire, capable of plundering the land multiple times over."
"The other three factories also contributed a lot; this time, almost all of their elite personnel were mobilized."
Wang Ce nodded; the situation was basically under his control.
After inspecting the ship's propulsion system, Zhang Luoyan finally spoke, "You intend to turn the internal conflict into an external one by attacking the Haneda syndicate."
"After this battle, you're probably ready to lay your cards on the table and completely integrate the industrial park, right?"
Wang Ce's eyes lit up. Of all these people, only Zhang Luoyan saw through his true purpose.
Killing the golden toad demonstrates one's personal strength, while attacking the Haneda garrison demonstrates one's large-scale combat capabilities.
At this point, having Zhang Luoyan coordinate and allocate the supplies demonstrates their management skills and relatively fair work principles.
The tactical arrangements he made during the daytime meetings were real, but beneath the surface of war, there were deeper plans and deployments.
Soon, it got dark, but Wang Ce had not yet given the order to attack.
"I'll first teach you Eagle Claw Kung Fu, Iron Shirt Kung Fu, and Cloud Ladder Kung Fu, which will also increase your combat power."
Wang Ce tried, but he couldn't learn Zhang Luoyan's light ability or fireball technique, Huang Feipeng's metal ability, or Zhao Jiajia's water control ability.
It's not that it's impossible to learn, but compared to other martial arts techniques, progress is far too slow; it's a slow and painstaking process.
"Huh? Brother Ce, I've mastered Iron Shirt!"
Huang Feipeng jumped up, looking excited, and pounded his chest with his fists like a gorilla.
Wang Ce first taught them Eagle Claw Kung Fu, but just like before, none of the three were able to master it.
Just when everyone thought this path was likely to fail, Huang Feipeng unexpectedly mastered the Iron Shirt technique.
"Could Iron Shirt really be made of iron?"
Wang Ce really couldn't understand what the Iron Shirt skill had to do with metal superpowers, and how Huang Feipeng was the only one who had mastered it.
"Hmm? You're still a minor Iron Shirt cultivator?"
After testing it out, Wang Ce was surprised to find that Huang Feipeng's understanding of Iron Shirt was even better than his own master's.
He had only just mastered the Iron Shirt technique when Huang Feipeng had already achieved some success.
Is this what is meant by a martial arts prodigy?
Wang Ce finally understood why martial arts novels are full of sects vying for talented disciples, and why even fantasy novels value spiritual roots.
The difference in talent is just too obvious.
To have achieved minor success at the beginner level—who can you complain to?
"There's also a ladder to the clouds, you should try it too."
Wang Ce watched Huang Feipeng's reaction with great anticipation, but Huang Feipeng shook his head and said, "Brother Ce, I don't feel anything."
"I didn't feel anything either."
Zhao Jiajia looked bewildered and seemed a little embarrassed.
"Soaring Ladder!"
Zhang Luoyan leaped lightly, her body seemingly teleporting, suddenly changing position.
"Sister Luo Yan is so amazing!"
Zhao Jiajia's eyes were sparkling. Wang Ce tested Zhang Luoyan's speed and, after discovering that she had only just mastered the basics, breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that it wasn't that I was too bad, but rather that Huang Feipeng truly had a talent for the Iron Shirt martial art.
"It's still early. We'll set off at 1 a.m., so you should hone your martial arts skills first."
"I'm going to take a stroll in the river to see if there are any powerful aquatic beasts, and I'll clear them out first."
Wang Ce got up and walked towards the rooftop, preparing to jump into the river to take a look.
He also knew that the floodwaters would recede, so there wouldn't be any overly powerful creatures appearing.
True powerhouses, like the Kun we saw before, would never come ashore; they wouldn't even be able to reach the waterline.
Animals like the golden toad are probably apex predators.
As soon as Wang Ce stepped out, Zhang Luoyan walked up to Huang Feipeng, who was pretending to have his eyes closed, and kicked him, saying:
"Don't pretend to work hard. Now that you've mastered Iron Shirt, jump into the river with Wang Ce. You're not allowed to come up until he does."
Huang Feipeng's expression froze. He knew that after learning Iron Shirt Technique, he would basically no longer be afraid of ordinary creatures in the river.
He had a premonition that Zhang Luoyan would ask him to go with Wang Ce, which was why he pretended to cultivate. He didn't expect to be caught anyway.
"Hmm? How did you get on board? But with your current physical defenses, you shouldn't be in too much danger in the river."
Wang Ce was somewhat surprised, but there was no need to be overly cautious.
Aside from the fact that the golden toad specifically targets him, under normal circumstances, they are not like Tang Sanzang's flesh. Even if there are powerful creatures in the water, they will not specifically target them.
It's impossible that they wouldn't eat any of the many fish in the water, but would only eat those who have just entered the river, right?
"You have the nerve to ask me? It's all because Manager Zhang was worried about your safety alone, so he forced me to go into the water with you."
A smile played on Wang Ce's lips. It seemed Zhang Luoyan still cared about him. Then, with a splash, he jumped into the water.
They were about to attack Haneda Danji. Except for his main ship, which was covered with iron, the other ships were made of wood.
It's best to avoid powerful aquatic creatures as much as possible in advance.
"Ding ding ding!"
As soon as Wang Ce jumped into the water, swarms of piranhas began to gnaw at his body.
Soon, the clothes were torn to shreds, but apart from a slight stinging sensation, the skin didn't feel too uncomfortable.
With just a slight shake, he could fling these piranhas, each no bigger than the palm of his hand, apart.
"Hmm? These little piranhas can help me cultivate Iron Shirt?"
Wang Ce suddenly discovered that after being bitten by the piranhas, the speed at which his Iron Shirt technique was activated increased several times over.
"Pfft!"
Wang Ce crushed the body of a piranha, then took out a crystal core the size of a fingernail and quickly absorbed it in his hand.
The energy he had consumed was quickly replenished.
The piranhas immediately began to bite again, which accelerated the consumption of the food, creating a virtuous cycle.
"This is promising! At this rate, my Iron Shirt technique will be nearing completion soon!"
