Chapter 18, Introduction to Cultivation

The questioning lasted all morning, and it was time for lunch before Alan walked out.

Li De was still in the interrogation room, and only one gendarme brought a piece of bread and a glass of water.

In the afternoon, Alan did not come to the interrogation room. A middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses replaces Allen and continues to mentally torture Li De.

A day of interrogation exhausted Li De. Back in the monitoring room, he felt tired in his brain, but full of strength in his body. So I did hundreds of push-ups and squats in one breath before I felt tired and lay down on the bed again.

In bed, thinking of the dream-like scene last night, Li De tried to feel the starlight again. After a while, I entered the wonderful world again.

On the third day, it was still Lionna's special breakfast, it was still a day of interrogation, and it was still the wonderful scene of the night. And so it went on for a week.

On the seventh day back at the front-line camp, Liona did not bring breakfast. The little girl said that because Li De's previous barbecue was gone.

Li De heard that it was called a nausea, it turned out that when he returned to the camp, the little girl was still feeding him with the roast meat that he didn't know if it was rotten. This common sense of survival...

It was also the change of the seventh day, and Li De did not continue to be interrogated, because Karin returned. According to the people in front of you at the front-line command, the witch was interrogated as soon as she heard that Li De came back, and went directly to the headquarters to make a fuss, and Alan was also kicked in the ass.

Karin looked at Li De, who had already recovered, in surprise. The two beautiful big eyes were round, and the small mouths were open for a long time. Heinrich was also dumbfounded, and the two did not speak for a long time.

Then Karin pulled Leona to her back and asked something in a low voice. Leona shook her head, and Karin frowned.

"How did you recover? It's normal for you to be in bed for a month or two. Karin asked.

"I don't know, I'll be back to sleep after a night's sleep." Li De was telling the truth, and he couldn't explain the dream-like scene.

Karin put her face in front of Li De and looked at Li De almost nose to nose, which made Li De nervous for a while.

"Well, since you're already well, then I'm relieved." Karin turned.

"Take a week off~~!" Karin left only a back and walked away without looking back.

===================================================

"Mission accomplished?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the communicator.

"Yes." Karin replied. Now Karin was alone in the barracks, and Heinrich was guarding the door.

"Okay, so they know the plan?"

"Yes, everything will be executed as planned. Just wait for the order from above. ”

"Okay, you've worked hard this time."

"For the good of the family."

"Next, you should take care of that kid. Is there hope for him? ”

"Yes." Karin then took Lide's injuries and the miracle revenge on the other side.

"It's weird, he didn't have that ability back then. Could it be his mother? ”

"His mother is still a mystery, and there are so many theories that we can't be sure."

"It's not your problem, it's ours. This information is valuable, Karin, and you did a good job. ”

The other party turned off the communicator. Karin told Heinrich to leave, leaving alone in the room stunned.

==================================================

It was said that he was on vacation for a week, but Li De basically had nothing to do at the forward base. And Li De also knew that Karin would talk to him again. This week is not about giving yourself a break.

Sure enough, Karin came early in the morning to find Lide. Heinrich has gone to find a new teammate, and Liona is missing, so only Karin and Lide are alone.

"What do you think?" Karin asked.

"I'll take your training and become a Skywalker." Li De replied, his eyes full of courage and determination.

"Alright then, let's get started."

For the entire day, Karin was tormenting Lide. Let him strike all sorts of strange poses, twist his joints, stretch his muscles. Li De shouted from time to time. By the time the evening came, he was almost unable to feel the storage of his hands and feet.

Karin threw Lide onto the bed and looked at his sweaty face. His black hair was a little long, and he was level with his eyebrows, and there were some children on his face who had not subsided, but his eyes were shining with wisdom.

Sitting on the ground next to the bed, Karin began to teach Reed how to feel his own strength.

"Relax your mind, get rid of the distractions in your mind, eliminate external distractions from your body, attract the hidden power in your body, and feel its existence."

"It's very comfortable to lie down like this." Li De said.

"Don't talk, feel your body. Exclude all the external qiē. Don't look, don't listen, don't think. ”

"Don't look, you can do it with your eyes closed. Don't listen, you can't close your ears. Don't think about it, it's even harder. ”

"Calm down, you can do it. Feel your breath first. Karin encouraged.

Li De tried to relax again, let the external interference go away from him, felt his body, and slowly fell asleep.

Kalinka went to Lide to sleep, pouted angrily, and got up to leave. She knew that the person who could master it on the first day was probably only one person in the entire galaxy.

For the next few days, Karin continued to train Li De like this. Karin told Sù Lide that the state of not thinking about anything is called meditation. Finally, on the third day, Li De found his state and entered a meditative state.

Entering the meditative state, Li De once again "saw" the situation inside his body, which was very similar to the feeling of starlight he felt before, but this time he only "saw" himself, not the bright starlight.

However, this helped Li De to observe himself better, looking for the existence of what Karin called "force". Cells, blood, muscles and bones, in every corner of their body, probe where the source of power is. Why do muscles produce power, and how power spreads throughout the body, and the result is found little by little.

"Don't worry, you're already getting started." Karin reassured. The week was fast approaching, but Li De felt that he had made little progress. Looks a little frustrated.

"Am I doing something wrong?" Over dinner, Lide asked Karin.

"No, some people can't find strength at first, and it doesn't mean anything."

"How long did it take you to feel it?" Li De asked curiously.

"Well, maybe two days." Karin said, then put a small piece of artificial protein meat in her mouth.

Li De glanced at her, thinking to himself, are you comforting? After a hasty dinner, he told Karin that he wanted to try it alone, and went back to the barracks alone.

Returning to the barracks alone, Li De looked forward to the training he had received for several days. He suddenly had a question, what kind of strange moves would Karin make him do?

Li De sat on the bed and tried to enter a meditative state again. He tried to return to that dreamlike realm again, feeling the bits and pieces of starlight. Just as he felt the starlight pass through his body, he suddenly noticed a white energy fluctuation in his body.

I see, the answer is so obvious in front of me, but I sat back and waited for a few days to find out. He began to slowly follow Karin's teachings, feeling the qiē that was happening in his body little by little.

The next day, Li De blamed Karin for his success. Karin was also pleasantly surprised, and she told Sù Lide that he was on the right path with a jump.

Over the next few days, Reed was already slowly feeling the energy in his body. He could feel them flowing, but he couldn't control them.

"This is the initial stage, and when you can control them, you will be considered an official Skywalker." Karin encourages Reed.

After about a week like this, after the day's cultivation was over, Karin suddenly seemed to have something on her mind.

"I might have to be away for a while." Karin said. "There's something going on over there at home, and Hine will come with me. But I think Liona will be back, and I'm a little more relieved to have her there. ”

"What's the matter? How long will it take? ”

"You don't want to know, it's going to take about three months, and you're going to another planet."

Li De was silent for a while and nodded.

==================================================

After another two dull days, there was a sudden agitation at the front.

Li De walked out of the barracks and watched the soldiers and various vehicles coming and going.

"You! Find your team! Onward, onward! An officer yelled at Li De.

"What?"

"Sir, you TM recruits, no one teaches you the rules?" The officer walked up to Li De's side. "Go over there and report to your chief, and get ready to go!"

"Is it me?" Li De's face was puzzled.

"Yes~!" Alan didn't know when he had walked behind Li De. Li De turned his head to look at this front-line commander who always couldn't get along with him for some reason.

"Now that Karin isn't here, I think..."

Karin wasn't there, and her team was temporarily disbanded. Now you are a soldier and obey orders! Alan yelled without waiting for Li De to finish.

"I have applied to the military department, you are now a soldier of the D Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 10th Regiment, go and report!"

Li De reluctantly walked to the meeting point and found Company D.

The company commander of Company D was a bearded man with a cigar in his mouth and yellow teeth exposed. Seeing another soldier coming to report, he pointed casually and asked Li De to stand at the end of the line.

Li De looked at the soldiers of this D company, who were different in height, short, fat and thin, and they were all recruits from the same water. The company commander looked like he had a few years of experience when he arrived. One word floated in my mind: cannon fodder troops.

Yes, there will be some sacrifices, some arranged deaths, in exchange for a greater good. For example, in order to allow the assistant troops to have sufficient space to fire, the commander will often put some troops within the range of local firepower to attract the enemy's attention and cover the troops with strong firepower to carry out the operation. Those units that were exposed to the enemy's guns were called cannon fodder units, and their mortality rate was about 70%.

Li De felt that either he was lucky, or Allen had done something. In short, if you want to survive in the cannon fodder army, you need a very deep ability.

Soon, the troops for the operation were ready. The operation is said to have been devised by General Douglas and Allen, with plans to expand another military base to the west and expand the entire control area. For this purpose, a full three divisions were assembled.

For the sake of this battle plan, Douglas can be said to have hollowed out his old bottom. He left only part of the infantry regiment to stay at the main base, a small number of armored troops and a mechanized brigade on the front line, and the rest of the team was almost pulled out to prepare for this big gamble.
