60. General Iron Tiger
Upon seeing the training camp, Ling Bingtian didn't rush to get there. Instead, he stopped to give Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao some time to rest.
Bai Ying also looked at the two people following closely behind her and the young master with some surprise.
According to her expectations, given their current cultivation levels, the two of them should not be able to keep up with her.
But now it seems that the two are just a little short of breath, but there is no obvious sign of exhaustion.
How strange!
What Bai Ying didn't know was that the two of them had been practicing martial arts for almost the entire past two years since they started following Ling Bingtian.
Compared to ordinary Soul Masters who rely solely on meditation and running for cultivation, the two of them far surpassed them in terms of physical fitness.
Especially Yuan Chao, with his terrifying martial arts talent, when he cultivates to level ten, he might even be able to absorb a thousand-year soul ring when he gets his first soul ring.
"However..." Ling Bingtian opened his Eye of Fortune and looked at the purple seven-section bamboo light above Bai Ying's head.
'She should soon be able to experience the wonders of martial arts too,' Ling Bingtian thought to himself.
After waiting for a while, Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao finally recovered. With their current cultivation levels of one Soul Master and one Soul Warrior, catching up with two Great Soul Masters was still somewhat of a struggle.
"Let's go." Ling Bingtian called out and then led Bai Ying towards the training camp ahead.
Wang Dayu and his companion hurriedly followed.
The last stretch of road wasn't long; in just a few minutes, Bai Ying led the three of them close to the training camp.
Ling Bingtian observed the training camp with curiosity. Everyone around, whether adults or children, walked around with proper posture, standing upright like soldiers.
On an open-air playground not far away, Ling Bingtian saw some familiar movements.
There was a square formation of about ten children, led by an adult instructor wearing leather armor, standing in a horse stance. Many of the children were trembling and sweating profusely, but they were all trying their best to persevere.
Basic Body Refinement Methods!
Under the guidance of their instructors, these children are practicing this most basic external physical training method, tempering their bodies.
The people on Douluo Continent are different from the people in Ling Bingtian's previous life; the people here generally develop much faster than in her previous life.
Therefore, as long as the nutrition is adequate, there is no problem in letting these children cultivate using basic body-refining methods.
After glancing at him briefly, Ling Bingtian looked away. The person Bai Ying was taking him to meet was the real focus going forward.
After entering the training camp, Bai Ying did not stop leading the way, but continued walking forward until she reached a large tent.
The three of them carefully examined the large tent. Unlike the other tents around it, this large tent was almost four times the size of the other smaller tents.
Two expressionless soldiers stood at the entrance, each carrying a long spear, staring at the four people approaching the tent.
The large tent was entirely white, with an ice-blue flag standing atop it.
The flag features a majestic tiger head, flanked by two cylindrical patterns.
Ling Bingtian recognized the origin of the tiger head. The tiger head pattern depicted a tiger-like spirit beast that lived only in the far north, called the Twin Iron-Tailed Snow Tiger.
The Twin Iron-Tailed Snow Tiger is a special dual-attribute soul beast, possessing both metal and ice attributes, and is generally active in the inner circle of the far north.
It lives alone and is at least a thousand-year-old soul beast when it reaches adulthood.
It now appears that the head instructor of the training camp at this time possesses the martial spirit of this twin-tailed snow tiger.
Moreover, he is probably at least a general in the Arctic Army, because only generals are allowed to have their own flags in the Arctic Army.
Bai Ying first gestured for Ling Bingtian and the others to wait outside the door for a moment, then walked to the tent flap, knelt on one knee, clasped her hands and shouted loudly: "Bai Ying, a student of the Earth Battalion, has completed her mission and requests an audience with General Tie Hu."
Ling Bingtian noticed that as Bai Ying approached the tent, the two soldiers gripped their spears tightly, their muscles tensing as if they were ready to attack at any moment.
"Granted!" Before Bai Ying could wait long, a deep, resonant male voice came from the tent immediately after she finished speaking.
After the male voice came out, the two soldiers relaxed their bodies slightly, but still maintained a highly alert posture, demonstrating their excellent basic military qualities.
"Yes!" Bai Ying responded loudly, then turned to give Ling Bingtian and the other two a reassuring look before stepping over the two soldiers, lifting the curtain of the tent, and going inside.
Unfortunately, there was another screen behind the curtain. When Bai Ying lifted the curtain and went in, the three of them only saw a screen with a snowy landscape painted on it.
Ling Bingtian was slightly disappointed by this, but he believed that the people inside would not keep him waiting for long.
And that was exactly what happened. Just about three minutes later, that deep male voice came out from inside the tent again.
"You three outside, come in too."
Upon hearing this, the two soldiers guarding the outside finally relaxed their tense bodies and returned to their original state.
Ling Bingtian touched his nose, secretly affirming the soldiers' professionalism, then called to the two behind him and they walked together into the main tent.
Lifting the curtain, the familiar snow-covered screen reappeared in the three's view, blocking General Tiehu and Bai Ying from behind it.
Ling Bingtian didn't stop. He turned around and went over the screen, where everything came into view.
Just as I had imagined, there were no luxurious decorations. The empty tent contained only ordinary wooden tables and futons, except for the weapon racks that filled the four sides.
The interior has a stepped structure, with higher positions as you go further in.
In the innermost position, Bai Ying stood below the main seat, respectfully bowing her head.
And on the main seat, a magnificent "tower" sits securely.
"Welcome, welcome, Xiao Tian, you've finally arrived."
A deep, thunderous male voice rang out again, but this time Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao were both stunned.
They were all awestruck by the "tower" before them.
Seated in the main seat was a burly, powerful middle-aged man, over two meters tall, with bulging muscles, regular features, and a square face etched with the marks of time and stories.
He was dressed in black armor, with a roaring double-tailed snow tiger's head painted in the center. A strong sense of domineering power and bloodlust emanated from him, giving Wang Dayu and his companion a great psychological shock.
The only thing that somewhat disrupted the middle-aged man's domineering aura was the hint of joy that flickered in his gray eyes.
It's not hard to tell from his words that he and Ling Bingtian already knew each other.
"Yes, Uncle Tiger, you're getting old, aren't you?" Ling Bingtian replied with a smile to the middle-aged man.
Clearly, the man was the so-called Iron Tiger General, one of the three great generals of the Extreme Ice Army—Han Hu.
