Time flies. Six years later, on the open space east of Wushan Town, the warm morning sunlight shone from the sky, shining through the dense tree canopy, leaving mottled shadows of the trees on the open space.

When the sun rises, it is time for the town to wake up.

The vast majority of residents in Wushan Town have already gotten up and gone to work.

Even children as young as six or seven years old started the traditional morning exercises in Wushan Town early.

As a country adjacent to the Monster Mountains, the Kingdom of Finlay has many cases of monster attacks almost every year.

Under such circumstances, the citizens of the Fenlai Kingdom naturally became full of martial virtues. Even in a remote town like Wushan Town, all the male men in the town would be called together for training from a young age.

Just like at this moment, there are about two hundred young children standing in the open space east of Wushan Town.

All the children were divided into three groups according to their age. The northernmost group was children aged six to eight, the middle group was children aged nine to twelve, and the southernmost group was teenagers aged thirteen to sixteen.

In front of all the children, there were three sturdy middle-aged men wearing coarse vests and trousers.

These three people were all members of the guard team of the Baruch family, the lord of Wushan Town. The man in the lead had strong muscles and his aura was even stronger than the two people beside him combined. He was the captain of the guard team, Hillman, a level 6 warrior.

At this time, Hillman held his head high, walked among the children doing horse stance, and scanned them with cold eyes.

"In the early morning, when the sun rises and life is full of vitality, it is the key moment to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and improve our body's potential!"

"So, according to the old rules, stand in the sun for an hour in the 'Qi-accumulating Pose'. Keep your legs apart, shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent, your hands at your waist, concentrate, keep your mind calm, and breathe naturally..."

Hillman and the other two middle-aged men were discussing the key points of the Qi Condensation Style while looking back and forth among the three groups of children.

The result was obvious. The teenagers over thirteen years old in the south had been training for several years. At this moment, when they stood up in the "Qi Condensation Style", they basically met Hillman's requirements and obviously achieved some results.

In comparison, the group of children with an average age of around seven years old seemed a little too lame.

But this is only natural. After all, they have just started to learn the 'Qi Condensation Style'. It would be really outrageous if they could really be compared with teenagers who are more than five years older than them.

Thinking of this, Hillman couldn’t help but cast his gaze towards a child in the crowd.

While other children of the same age stood sloppily, he was the only one with a standard posture and a firm look in his eyes.

A smile appeared on Hillman’s face, because he recognized the young man’s identity. He was the eldest son of clan leader Hogg, Linley Baruch!

This child is only six years old this year, and has only been doing morning exercises for a week. However, he can perform the 'Qi Condensation Style' more accurately than some children who have practiced for two years. I can only say that he is worthy of being a child of the Baruch family!

The Baruch family is an ancient family with a long heritage. It is said that it was once prosperous for thousands of years, but now there are only four family members in the entire family.

The four members are the clan leader Hogg Baruch, the eldest son Linley Baruch, the second son Wharton Baruch, and Hogg's cousin, Linley and Wharton's uncle, Haven Baruch.

When Hillman thought of Haven Baruch, who was the same age as Linley but a generation older than him, his face froze and he subconsciously looked towards the figure at the end of the team.

This child has been different since he was young. He not only likes reading, but also has a great love for mathematics.

When he was five years old, he had once looked down on Hillman over the calculations in the family account book, which made Hillman very embarrassed.

"But now... you are in my hands, right?!"

Hillman showed a ferocious smile on his face and walked over aggressively.

At this moment, the child glanced at Hillman, lowered his arms, and stood up.

Hillman was slightly startled, and then he couldn’t help but frown.

Although he wanted to play a prank on Haven, it was just a prank and did not contain any malice. But now, Haven's behavior has already involved the most serious attitude problem.

Hillman felt that he needed to have a good talk with him and make him realize that this morning exercise was no joke.

Thinking of this, Hillman immediately walked over and asked seriously, “Master Haiwen, what’s your problem?”

Haiwen, or rather the clone of Lin Zhongtian who had not retained his memories after reincarnation, glanced at him, shook his head and said, “No, Uncle Hillman, I have no problem. It’s this Qi Condensation Style that has a problem.”

Hillman was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he said with a smile, “Qi Condensation Style? What’s wrong with it?”

The Qi Condensation Style was the simplest and most widely spread body-building technique on the Magnolia Continent. It was also the crystallization of wisdom accumulated and improved by predecessors over countless years. Hillman really couldn't imagine what could be wrong with such a thing.

If there is a problem, it is nothing more than that the efficiency of body training is not high enough...

“It’s so inefficient!”

Lin Zhongtian looked at Hillman, who was stunned, and said seriously, "When I was doing the Qi Condensation Pose, I always felt that the warm current in my body was not flowing smoothly, especially in the core triangle area of ​​the lower body and abdomen. When the 'Qi' flows through this area, it always sinks unconsciously, causing the speed of the entire body circulation to be slowed down."

"If we can change to this posture, it seems that we can go faster."

"Also, I found that when the Qi flows through the acupuncture points in the body, it always separates at the first touch, and the stimulation effect is too poor. So I thought, if I can make corresponding movements when the 'Qi' flows through the acupuncture points, can I better stimulate the acupuncture points and exercise my body..."

"Also, the 'Qi Condensation Style' can only train a few areas. I feel that there are still many meridians in the body that have not been developed. If we can find a way to let the Qi flow through these undeveloped areas, can we train the body more comprehensively?"

Xiaolin Zhongtian demonstrated various postures while chattering about his understanding of the "Qi Condensation Style".

Hillman’s brows were furrowed at first, but gradually they relaxed and turned into a look of horror.

"Gudong..."

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and asked tremblingly: "Master Haiwen, don't tell me that you have tried it?"

Lin Zhongtian nodded, and then said somewhat dejectedly: "I did try it, and the effect is indeed better, but I didn't expect that the 'qi' trained in this way would be completely expelled from my body, as if my body was rejecting them..."

"What?!"

Hillman couldn’t help but raise his voice, causing the surrounding children to look at him with doubt.

The other two guards also looked over in confusion: "What's wrong, Captain?"

"nothing."

Hillman quickly replied, then took a deep breath, looked at Lin Zhongtian and said seriously, “Master Haiwen, don’t practice today. Come back with me to see the master and repeat what you said!”

"……?"

Xiao Lin Zhongtian was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he nodded and returned to the Baruch family mansion with Hillman.

Not long after, Lin Zhongtian recounted his experience during morning exercise in front of his cousin Hogg.

After he finished speaking, Hillman said excitedly, “Did you hear that, Master? Young Master Haiwen… he improved the Qi Condensation Method and created a high-level Qi Condensation Secret Manual!!”

“Hear…I heard it!”

Hogg nodded subconsciously, his face also showing shock and excitement.

Lin Zhongtian frowned, not seeming to think it was a big deal. Instead, he looked at Hogg in confusion and said, "Cousin, judging from Uncle Hillman's reaction, my improvement is correct, right?"

Hogg nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Xiao Lin Zhongtian was even more confused: "Then why can't the Qi I refined be stored in my body?"

Hogg smiled and said with a tone that was both proud and melancholy: "Because, you are a Baruch!"

"Um?"

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, still a little confused.

Hogg rubbed the child’s head, turned to look at Hillman and said, “Hillman, please call Lin Lei back. I need to tell them something.”

"Yes, sir."

…

…

Not long after, in the ancestral hall behind the Baruch family mansion.

Hogg, Lin Lei, Lin Zhongtian, and the housekeeper Ciri who was holding little Wharton all appeared here.

Hogg lit the rows of candles in the ancestral hall and stood silently in front of the densely packed memorial tablets. Behind him was the butler holding little Wharton, and Lin Lei and Lin Zhongtian standing side by side at the door.

Looking at his father’s silent back, Linley felt a little nervous and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice:

"Uncle, do you know why father asked us to come here?"

"..." Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment and said calmly, "It should be to tell us that the Baruch family is a family of dragon blood warriors."

"Dragonblood Warrior?!"

Xiao Linlei's face was filled with astonishment.

Lin Zhongtian said calmly: "I read in the book that there are four powerful beings called the Ultimate Warriors in the Yulan Continent, namely the Dragon Blood Warrior, the Purple Flame Warrior, the Tiger Stripe Warrior and the Undead Warrior."

"And the name of the dragonblood warrior is Baruch, so I guess our Baruch family is the descendant of the dragonblood warrior. I just don't know what this incident has to do with what happened just now..."

Linley looked at his uncle in shock. After digesting the news, he looked at him in confusion and asked, “What happened just now?”

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and calmly repeated what had just happened.

Although Xiao Lin Lei didn't understand what it meant to create a high-level Dou Qi secret book, he knew it must be a great thing.

So, Xiao Linlei looked at his uncle in amazement and admiration, and said sincerely: "As expected of you, my uncle!"

At this moment, Hogg, who was standing in front of the spirit tablet, finally turned around, looked at the two six-year-old children and said solemnly: "Today, in the name of the Baruch family patriarch, I will tell you the secret of the Baruch family!"

After saying that, he observed the expressions of the two children and found that both of them looked calm and did not seem to care about the secret. This made Hogg frown and a sense of inexplicable frustration rose in his heart.

After calming down, Hogg emphasized his tone and asked seriously, "Have you heard of the four ultimate warriors?"

Lin Zhongtian and Xiao Lin Lei exchanged a glance. The former thought to himself, as expected, while the latter smiled and asked impatiently, “Father, our Baruch family is one of the four ultimate warriors, the family of the Dragon Blood Warrior, right?”

"The Four Ultimate Battles... huh? How did you know?!"
