Stronger dummies

The students kept sparring even after tearing their muscles or breaking their bones because after a couple of spars they knew that they needed to break through their body to further advance their realm as the Healing Pool will easily repair their torn muscles and broken bones as well as nourishing their bodies, making them stronger than before.

Talion also taught them some basic combat techniques. When they cultivate in the pool, the energy that they absorbed was limited by Talion to revitalizing and healing their bodies the moment they reached their corresponding realms.

Old Zhen was trained by Talion himself and got spirit qi directed to him by Talion even during their spars making them Old Zhen energized causing them to spar for a long time. Talion taught Old Zhen on how to compensate for his flaws in his combat style.

Old Zhen's realm was easily increased to the peak of Transcendence Realm and He could even control Spirit Qi to a certain degree like healing minor injuries and increasing physical attributes, unlike the newly transcended Duan family old master who could barely feel the spirit qi how much more control it.

Before they went home, Talion tried the Martial Hall and it was a place where you would need to enter a lotus position before the martial hall will drag you into a Virtual Realm where you could fight Outlanders like Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Orcs or Monsters like Wolves, Giant Snakes, Harpy and even Dragons. It also had the time dilation of 1:20, while 20 hours had passed in the Virtual Realm only a single hour passed in the real world. [Its like God's Domain if you didn't know. 24 hours in the real world = 72 hours in the game world.]

The Younger ones also said that the martial hall was like a VRMMORPG albeit it was different because one can fully feel the pain and even the feeling of different poisons was even included. This was the best place to train their willpower and reflexes because of unlimited monsters and because of Time Dilation. The craziest one to train had even entered 24 times while the person with the least entries had entered 9 times probably because the Virtual Realm was indeed crazy because you could live the life of a cripple for a while if you let the creatures slice your arm off.

There was also had another mode of the Virtual Realm which was the learning mode, It will make you a disciple of an unknown master that would train you in certain aspects that you selected like Sword Training, Axe Training, Spear Training, Bow Training, even Hand-to-Hand combat and many more but Talion locked the other Training sections that had things not available in the mortal realm, he would only unlock it after the Heaven Awaken World devours this world. There were 4 modes in training which were Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Peak.

When Talion tried this mode, he easily finished Basic and Intermediate training in Sword Training but had a hard time finishing the Advanced Training mostly because it had touched the Sword Dao and didn't even try the Peak Training because it would probably touch upon the deepest secrets of Sword Dao, if he did so then he would probably explode due to his cultivation and body not being strong enough to endure the power of Sword Dao True Meaning [A/N: I just created some stuff and voila different Heaven Awaken World.]

Talion locked the Intermediate and above training due to it needing to comprehend their own weapon Dao and for their current strength, the Dao is too profound and too powerful to understand lest they explode and die. Well, even at their current strength, even completing the basic training is very hard because the training master is very strict and wanted the trainee to achieve perfection.

A day and a half had passed when all of them had finally reached their corresponding realm, Those Middle-aged men from the Dragon Squad had even rejuvenated themselves and returned to their younger selves and felt as if they could go another 300 rounds in bed or in battle while the young men still looked the same albeit much sharper compared to their naive selves. Talion guided them back to the car as he went back together with them and when they arrived at the mansion Talion immediately used a memory wiping technique to erase their memories on where the Dojo was located in case of unwanted thoughts from the people.

Talion went inside the Mansion as he told Xuanyuan Ren. "Old Ren, your men have already arrived from their training. Most of them are trained in different forms of combat including cold weapons"

"It's already finished? That fast?" Old ren was shocked stiff at the speed of the training. It would even take some months to years depending on your talent to break through to the refinement realm how much more the Domain Realm which only those with extreme talent and extreme determination could reach and takes almost a lifetime to reach.

When those people entered the room, Xuanyuan Ren grew even more shocked because the Dragon Squad Elites were not Middle-aged men anymore but they look as if they became younger in their 20s and those young men didn't have their gullible and naive aura but instead an aura of a veteran that went through thousands of life and death battle.

Even Old Zhen couldn't be called old anymore as he became a middle-aged once more and possessed such a natural aura that removed all of his aura, this aura of his would deceive most people making it feel like Old Zhen was an ordinary middle-aged man if you didn't know the man himself.

Talion asked Old Ren if the Flowing Water Realm Trainees are currently near the Compound and luckily more than half of the Flowing Realm candidates were currently in the city either working or taking a rest as he asked him to gather half of the Flowing Water Realm Trainees now as he needed to maximize time because he needed a day to train the certain someone.

Time slowly passed as Talion went together with untrained guards and went home with people that were trained for war. He slowly trained all of the Trainees until they were already trained into their corresponding realms.

Talion used his Divine sense to inspect all of the people that were being trained by him if they had any special qualities. There were no people on the first batch nor was the 2nd batch but on the 3rd batch that was the other half of Flowing Water Realm trainees, He found a suitable person that had both determination and will.

Talion added this guy into his recruit list as this guy had godlike willpower, he kept fighting even when his bones were broken no matter how many were broken. He wondered if he could ask Old Ren to make this guy his subordinate.

During the 1st and the 2nd batch of refinement realm trainees, there were 2 people, a boy and a girl that perfectly fitted his criteria, and most importantly, these were fraternal twins. He assumed that their perfect in being assassins as their combat styles were centered around hidden strikes and their movements were agile and unexpected. but as high as the praise that they received their problem was that they were too much of a loner, both of them didn't have friends from the other 126 candidates as they would only spar with each other.

There were no people that fitted his criteria on the 3rd and 4th batch but the 5th batch, there was a person that fitted half the criteria but Talion wanted to have subordinates that fit the criteria and had their own unique talents.

However, on the 6th Batch, there was a certain person that had exceptional talent in fighting as she could easily understand the meaning behind the combat techniques that Talion had imparted to the trainees. She both had an unyielding attitude and willpower that was unmatched by their colleagues, in other words, she had both and brains and brawn.

Of the 1536 people that he had trained past the few days. There were only 5 people that fully fitted his criteria for recruitment, although it wasn't many it still satisfied Talion who prefers quality over quantity.

Another 4 days had passed and only a single day was left before the launch of the game. Before the last batch had arrived, He called Shi Feng as he told him that he will pick him up together with Blackie. They picked up Shi Feng and blackie as they and the last batch had arrived back at the mansion.

Upon arriving at the mansion both Shi Feng and Blackie were shocked at the extravagance of the mansion that Talion had brought them to. Talion walked inside the mansion as both Shi Feng and Blackie anxiously followed him.

As Talion was walking to the living room, he saw Old Ren on the garden sitting down while drinking tea under the shade of a tree. Talion walked over as he asked but Shi Feng and Blackie were at the door waiting for him. "Old Ren, I have a favor to ask."

"Feel free to ask, if it is within my power I would gladly oblige." Old Ren sipped at his Tea as he replied.

"Can I have these 5 people as my subordinates." Talion showed the documents of the 5 people.

Old Ren who was sipping his tea almost spat out the tea when he heard those words from the almighty instructor.

"Ho Ho Ho, I would not have thought that I would hear those words from your mouth. Alright, I'll have Zhen arrange it." Old Ren chuckled.

"My gratitude." Talion did a half bow before calling Shi Feng and Blackie as changed the topic. "Old Ren, My friend here is a beta tester of God's Domain. He has some tips on the best places to develop a guild as well as does and don'ts."

Blackie had a blank expression as he looked at Shi Feng while the latter shrugged his shoulders. Old Ren was excited about the thought of having some tips and tricks from a beta tester himself. Talion explained the current power of Old Ren's people to further give Shi Feng some crucial information that would help him pick the perfect place to start.

Shi Feng was awestruck at the thought that the man in front of him had two thousand experts working for him especially the 17 Domain realm and the 64 Void Realm experts as he only reached the void realm in his past life 10 years after the game had launched.

Even his guild had only him as a void realm expert together with 8 flowing water realm and 52 refinement realm experts even after 10 years since the beginning of the game but this old man had more than a thousand experts at his behest.

A 200-man refinement realm team could even kill an Archaic mythic-ranked monster of the same level how much more a thousand man team that had 16 domain realm experts and 64 void realm experts, they could practically dominate an entire planar world.

Shi Feng gave some considerations before saying. "In God's Domain, There are two main continents on the game as well as countless planar worlds, each of these places had their unique characteristics. As you have an extremely large amount of capital and an abnormal abundance of experts, I would recommend starting at the Hell Demon World, I heard that that world had an abundance in legacies and the quality of items are far higher than those on the main continent but the downside is that the monsters in there are more than 2 times stronger than the main continent, as you have that many experts in your command, that downside is practically removed."

Old Ren put that thought in mind as he asked. "May this old man know your name?"

"It is Shi Feng, sir." Shi Feng replied politely.

"Ho Ho, Good name. Would you like to join this Old Man's Guild?" Old Ren kept it in mind as he tried to poach Shi Feng but Talion interrupted.

"Old Ren? Really? Trying to poach my subordinate?" Talion chuckled at the thought.

"Oh my! Sorry about that, it is a bad habit of mine. I used to do that to other companies younger. Oh yes, Your payment for training the people." Old Ren awkwardly laughed as he tried to change the topic as he continued.

"If I remember correctly you asked me about a building in Fenglin City. What building do you want?"

"I heard that there was a twin skyscraper there"

"You sure are lucky boy, I own that building. Go ahead and take it." Old Ren laughed heartily as he said. "As for the 2880 Gaming Cabins, Only 200 cabins were delivered and the rest would be delivered momentarily. The S-Rank nutrient fluids though, I have around 100 of them currently in hand and I'll have the rest delivered together with the gaming cabins. The 200 gaming cabins will be installed at the Twin towers and The 100 Nutrient fluids will be delivered together with the Gaming Cabins, I will have it delivered now."

Shi Feng's mind was blacked out once he heard that Talion had 3000 S-Rank nutrient fluid given to him by the old man in front as payment. Even a single S-Rank nutrient fluid would cost at least a million if it were to be sold and will even double in price if it were to be put in the auction. Blackie himself was silent as he didn't even know what S-rank nutrient fluid is.

"I'll have Old Zhen put the 512 million credits in your account." Xuanyuan Ren added before saying. "I'll be leaving tomorrow and as a gift, I'll give this entire compound to you. If you want to find me, go to Zaitan City and find me at the Emerald Palace."

"Let me give you my thanks, Old Ren." Talion Chuckled as he did a palm-fist salute and thanked the Old man before leaving and the two guys followed.

When they arrived at the door, there were 5 people near the entrance as they stood up and waited for someone.

When they saw Talion walking toward the entrance, they hurriedly walked to Talion as they greeted him with a fist-hand salute. "Greetings, Master" as they proceeded to introduce themselves even if Talion already knows them.

A tanned young man stepped up as he introduced himself. "My name is Tao Kuan, Master."

A young man and woman stepped forward as the man introduced themselves. "My name is Fang Hao and this is my sister Fang Yun."

A Man that had a scar in his right eye stepped forward as he said. "My name is Ouyang Wen."

The last person stepped forward as she introduced herself. "My name is Long Xue. Nice to see you again, Master."

The latter nodded as he said. "We will go back to the Dojo and I'll help you achieve the realm which I called the Transcendence Realm."

But then he thought. "That Transcendence Realm is just basically the stage 0-2, however, People in this world could easily develop a domain and most importantly they are still mortals unlike the Heaven Awaken World that only those cultivators of High Talent and comprehension could develop a domain, Mortals there could not even kill a Stage 0-1 beast how much more develop a domain."

Shi Feng did not know what the realm was but he did not ask any questions because he knew that Talion would tell him.

Blackie was naturally a curious person, his curiosity had immediately reached the peak as it led him to ask questions about the Transcendence Realm but Talion refused.

"Lil Black, Knowing what the Transcendence Realm is will give you no benefits but instead Shi Feng, how about you first explain to Blackie the realms of refinement then I'll explain it to you all once we arrive at the dojo."

Soon after this, They went back to the Dojo via a portal, and Talion imparted them some advanced cultivation techniques from the heaven awaken world as he taught them how to cultivate but he didn't specify how strong it would make them.

Time slowly passed as all of them had already reached stage 1-2 cultivation while Talion had increased his cultivation to stage 5-4. Even though Stage 1-2 looks low as compared to Talion, it was still by no means considered weak as they can still crush a Refinement Realm expert using pressure alone.

When they reached Stage 0-5, Talion gathered them as he presented 5 books to them as he told them to feel each of the five books whether the books would react or not.

Those books were the legacies that were given to him by his ancestor. Talion had them touch the book and tell him what book had reacted. Shi Feng came first as Blackie followed then after that the 3 people followed.

After a while, they told him what color of book that had reacted to them. The books that reacted to Shi Feng were the Red book, The Blue Book, and the Gold book while Blackie had the Green book, the Blue book, and the Brown Book.

Both Fang Hao and Fang Yun had the Red book and Blue book. Ouyang Wen had the Green book and Brown Book. Tao Kun had the Blue Book and the Brown Book. Long Xue was incredible as the books that reacted to her was the Red book, the Blue book, the Green Book, and the Brown Book and if only she could cultivate the Gold book then she could also cultivate the 5 elements sutra.

Talion explained what the books are and their uses. "Let us just make this simple. All of these books are Cultivation Techniques. The red book or The legacy of Fire strengthens body power, Blue book or the legacy of Water increases mental strength and improves the senses, Green book or the legacy of Wood provides regeneration body regeneration and a self-regeneration of Spirit Qi and Spiritual Energy, Brown book or the legacy of Earth will increase overall bodily stamina as well as an increase in both endurance and defense, the gold book or the legacy of Metal will grant you the ability to harden any part of your body and higher levels can even harden your hand to equal the sharpness of a knife and even sharper the higher the level."

After this Talion taught them how to cultivate their legacies. Time slowly passed as they slowly cultivate their legacies and it was already nearing 10 PM. Talion asked them that it was already time to go to the Skyscraper as the opening of the game was at 6 AM but first Talion gave the 5 of them their task which was buying as many 1 liter bottles that they can carry. While He too had also went to the city to buy some large water tanks.

He bought 5 1000 gallon water tanks, He went back to the dojo and filled all of it with spiritual water as he put it all inside his storage ring, moments later after he filled the water tanks, 5 people walked inside the dojo carrying 4 bags each worth of bottles.

Talion told them to fill up the bottles with spiritual water and after they filled it all with spiritual water he put it inside his storage ring.

He walked out of the dojo and the 5 people followed as he chanted something that enables the defense mechanism of the formations to activate. The defense mechanism was both an illusion and slaughter formation, if the former didn't hold back the intruder then the latter wouldn't hold back either.

He told them to stay near him, he used his divine sense as it scattered. Talion contained them using his spiritual energy as he floated and flew toward Fenglin city. In the meantime, He explained to them how flying works and how to fly.

Around 10:20 PM a black silhouette of people above Fenglin City slowly descended to an alley near the building that Talion now owns as they turned invisible when they descended.

The building still has many people because of the unloading and installation of the gaming cabins. Although a single gaming cabin would take around 20 minutes on unloading and installation, this situation would not apply to that because there are still around 180 cabins that had yet to be unloaded and installed. Gu Heng himself was there to supervise the people in case a mishap would happen.

Talion reminded them to retract their aura before slowly walking out the alley and walking towards the skyscraper. Gu Heng saw Talion and he stopped at what he was doing as he went to Talion as he said. "You are here already, Sir Talion? Currently, we are still unloading the gaming cabins and it will certainly be finished before 12."

Talion hummed in affirmation as he said. "Can you call an attendant that will show us the facilities of the building?" Gu Heng nodded as he then called an attendant as he excused himself to continue supervising the workers.

The attendant acted like a tour guide as she showed Talion and the others each of the 59 floors of the skyscraper, including the sister skyscraper beside it. Most of them were empty floors but at the top of the skyscrapers, it was like a condominium as it had many rooms for employees and an entire floor for the boss.

After being "tour guided" by the female attendant, Talion thanked the attendant as he told them to rest and be ready for tomorrow.
