Reverse Tide Training Camp, rest area.
This place is also known as Tide Sleep, located at the edge of the training grounds, backed by the vast sea of mist.
Every nightfall, the mist from the mountain peak rises, enveloping the entire rest area in a hazy silver light, as if isolated from the world.
Upon entering the rest area, the first thing that catches the eye is a spacious hall, centrally placed with a giant round table engraved with the Reverse Tide Training Camp emblem, a wave pattern flowing upstream.
Around the round table are thirty stone chairs, each chair back engraved with a trainee's name, symbolizing ownership of the chair.
On both sides of the hall are two rows of neatly arranged stone beds, 30 beds in total, each separated by a black curtain to ensure privacy.
The beds are covered with cushions made from monster fur.
At the end of the rest area, in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Li Zheng gazed out at the boundless sea of mist, listening to the sound of the mist tide, appearing somewhat lost in thought.
The combat power of the Reverse Tide Army Commander left him immensely astonished.
After the footage ended, Chief Instructor Shi Xiuluo described a different way to become stronger, called "Force."
It can also be understood as suppression.
In the instructor's explanation, "Force" is an invisible power, stemming from the warrior's inner emotions and will.
Unlike the spiritual power or energy released, it is a more mysterious existence.
It can be understood as aura, yet it far exceeds the scope of aura.
Warriors need to mobilize their emotions, transforming them into a power that can affect the external world.
The release requires no energy consumption.
This power can even alter the surrounding environment.
Shi Xiuluo let them witness the act of Commander Floating Tomb to show them "Force" directly.
And the suppression that Commander Floating Tomb of the 138th Legion can cause space to twist was precisely "Slaughter momentum."
Slaughter momentum is the embodiment of Commander Floating Tomb's emotions, filled with destruction and oppression, its mere aura enough to intimidate opponents before the battle, even directly destroying the enemy's combat will.
It is a substantial power, condensed from violent, angry, and other negative emotions generated by Commander Floating Tomb over a long period of war.
The instructor stated that any emotion can be cultivated into "Force."
Despair, anger, killing intent... even fear can be condensed into Force, generating fear force, using Force to trap the opponent in their own fear.
This lesson made Li Zheng feel somewhat at a loss.
To cultivate "Force," one must have extreme emotion as the forging material, but it seems he doesn't have any usable extreme emotion.
Hunger Force?
But being hungry doesn't seem like an emotion either.
After consulting his guidance, its explanation of Force was similar to Chief Instructor Shi Xiuluo.
It stated that the pinnacle of Force cultivation is generating a rule that combines one's emotions and willpower.
The Pain Imprint possessed by the Suffering Brothers already shows the embryonic form of a rule, just short of crossing the threshold to become a rule.
But precisely this threshold is as difficult to cross as ascending to the heavens.
The guidance further stated that, in fact, the Life Soul mastered by players contains Force.
The Primordial Artifact Spirits of Artifact Spirit Valley are the conversion of part of Emperor Zhao's slaughter intention, which is the rule embodiment of fully perfected slaughter Force.
This shows Emperor Zhao's power.
The Slaughter momentum cultivated by Floating Tomb has yet to condense into a rule, even if it condenses into a rule, it's just an ordinary rule.
Yet, a portion of Emperor Zhao's slaughter intention has generated numerous powerful rule artifact spirits.
After much thought, Li Zheng felt this growth model doesn't meet his growth needs.
At this moment, Ghost Pupil appeared beside him, handing over a bottle of Clear Spirit Wine:
"Can't sleep?"
Taking the Clear Spirit Wine, he unscrewed the cap and clinked with Ghost Pupil's wine jug, Li Zheng gloomily said:
"Tongzi, what exactly is the cultivation of Force, is it really as powerful as the Stone Man says?"
Ghost Pupil tilted his head and took a big sip of wine, helplessly shook his head:
"The cultivation of Force requires time accumulation, experience is the key to cultivating Force. You're still young, there's no need to force yourself to learn it. Wait until you've been on the battlefield for a hundred years, then you can cultivate Slaughter momentum."
"By the way, why are you so focused on cultivating Force?" Ghost Pupil curiously asked.
"I think this thing is perfect for showing off, standing there without doing anything, just letting the aura out, and instantly making opponents realize how badass you are."
Ghost Pupil: …
"So you want to cultivate Force just to show off?" Ghost Pupil asked incredulously.
"Can't I? Life is for showing off; a life not showing off is meaningless... what about you, what are your pursuits?"
Facing the inquiry, Ghost Pupil took another big sip of Clear Spirit Wine, shook his head and said:
"Become a Reverse Tide Warrior, achieve glory on the battlefield. If I'm lucky enough to survive, maybe I'll become a training camp instructor and drill the new generation hard."
"Once the instructor's term is complete, then go back to the battlefield to kill the enemy again."
Upon hearing this, Li Zheng burst into laughter:
"Tongzi, is that all you have in your pursuits, but I think you're likely to die on the battlefield, and I'll have to build a monument for you."
"As a Reverse Tide Warrior, I don't need a monument, racing until death is my ultimate destination."
Hearing these words, Li Zheng's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.
As players, they can freely explore the Monster World and have countless chances to try and err.
Everything can be redone in an hour.
The meaning of life could be browsing the forum for an hour, or watching a live stream for an hour.
But it's different for these brothers in the training camp, their lives don't get a second chance, one failure means death.
