The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 566: Training in Pediatrics?

The Cangyun Mountain Range is located to the north of the Capital City, spanning a vast area and comprising a primeval range.

Inside the Cangyun Mountain Range, there are many ferocious wild beasts, and it’s a given that ordinary people entering alone would face almost certain death, which is precisely why Ye Chenfeng chose the Cangyun Mountain Range for training. Only by being on the brink of life and death could one continually make significant breakthroughs in strength.

Two military trucks came to a steady halt at the entrance of the Cangyun Mountain Range. Ye Chenfeng was the first to alight from the truck. Once everyone had disembarked, Ye Chenfeng cleared his throat, sweeping his gaze over everyone, and said in a strict and sonorous voice, "In the coming period, you will be spending time in the Cangyun Mountain Range. I hope that you stop regarding yourselves as humans from this moment onwards, because the upcoming training is something ordinary people would not be able to withstand. Some of you might very well die here in the Cangyun Mountain Range, which is the price to be paid for the power you desire. Flowers sheltered in a greenhouse can never hold up the sky, and you, in my eyes, are all such delicate flowers, easily to perish if grown in a greenhouse."

"I will not dwell on other unnecessary words. From now on, you will address me as Instructor Ye. Have you understood?" demanded Ye Chenfeng, his voice resonating with such penetration that it hurt everyone’s eardrums.

"Understood, Instructor Ye," everyone shouted in unison, slightly excited. Since they were all very aware of Ye Chenfeng’s formidable strength, they were looking forward to progressing further under his training.

"Such vigor is good. I hope you can keep it up," Ye Chenfeng nodded in satisfaction before continuing, "Now, move the medicinal herbs and all the large pots for decocting medicine from the military trucks down here. Before we commence the first training session, we must prepare some things."

After Ye Chenfeng’s orders were given, everyone sprang into action, moving a portion of the medicinal herbs and all the large pots for decocting medicine down from the military trucks. Under Ye Chenfeng’s instructions, everyone started decocting the medicine with puzzlement in their hearts.

Over an hour later, all the large pots had finished simmering the herbs, and Ye Chenfeng promptly said, "Each person here will drink a bowl of the decocted herbal medicine; you have five minutes."

Turning to Wu Xiaofei and Ning Yuting, Ye Chenfeng then said, "The two of you have other training arrangements, so you don’t need to drink this medicine."

As Ye Chenfeng was now the instructor for everyone present, even towards his women, he couldn’t show a gentle side. As a qualified instructor, it was necessary to establish an image of authority in the minds of his subordinates.

"Rest assured, the decocted medicine is very beneficial for your bodies," Ye Chenfeng said with a sly smile crossing his lips. "After drinking it, the speed at which you improve your strength will be even faster."

Hearing that it could expedite their increase in strength, Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, two rather simple-minded characters, couldn’t wait to drink a bowl of the freshly simmered medicine. It tasted sweet upon entry and did not have the bitterness typical of conventional Chinese medicine; in fact, it tasted rather pleasant.

"Instructor Ye, can I drink another bowl?" Ye Dongjian asked eagerly.

Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, "Drink as much as you like. However, today we have only prepared so much medicine. Those who are slow will end up drinking less or may not get any at all. This is about enhancing your strength, so divide it among yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present could no longer stay calm, hastening to drink the medicine. The biggest gulpers, such as Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, consumed three large bowls each. Even those who drank the least still had two full bowls, indicating that there was a considerable amount of medicine decocted for the first time that day.

Seeing all the prepared medicine being consumed, Ye Chenfeng’s smile grew even broader. He pulled out a large stack of white papers from a black bag. Each paper bore the printed image of a green plant in full. Distributing the papers to everyone present, he said, "This is a type of plant that grows deep within the Cangyun Mountain Range. It takes at least five hours of walking from this entrance to reach the area where this plant grows, which means a round trip would take at least ten hours. If you move quickly, maybe it won’t even take ten hours. Today’s first training exercise is to enter the Cangyun Mountain Range and each person is to bring me back one of these plants."

Although gathering this type of plant might take some time, does this kind of training actually contribute to increasing our strength? The people present began to doubt the effectiveness of this training method.

Ye Dongjian stepped forward and asked, "Instructor Ye, do you really plan to turn us into experts with this kind of childish training? The primitive mountain range might be dangerous for ordinary people, but it poses no challenge for us."

Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I originally wanted to give you all a surprise, but since you have these doubts in your hearts, let me clarify them for you now. Have you noticed the strength in your bodies dissipating?"

At his words, Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, Wang Li, Brother Hu, and Tie Niu, among others, began to sense the strength within their bodies. When they felt as though a gap had been chiseled open inside them, and their strength was flowing away like water, the color drained from everyone’s faces. They were simply standing there; their internal strength couldn’t possibly be depleting this rapidly.

Ignoring the shocked looks on their faces, Ye Chenfeng said, "The potion you just drank was crafted by me personally. After drinking a bowl of it, even if you do nothing, your internal strength will vanish completely within five hours."

"If you drink two bowls, your internal strength will disappear completely within two and a half hours. If someone drank three bowls, I’m sure there’s no need for me to elaborate, right?"

"Moreover, this is the scenario assuming you do not engage in any physical activity. If you keep moving, or even running, the rate at which your strength drains will be even faster, and the effect of the potion lasts a full fifteen hours."

"I believe the least anyone among you drank was two bowls, right? The Cangyun Mountain Range is teeming with wild beasts. If all the strength in your body is drained and you’re forced to rely on your willpower to move forward, can you still be sure that you’ll be able to simply gather the green plants listed on the white paper and then return here?"

Ye Chenfeng patiently explained to everyone, a very proud smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

The faces of Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming turned a slight shade of pale. Both of them had drunk a full three bowls. Drinking one bowl would make strength disappear within five hours, while two would cause it to vanish within two and a half hours; having consumed three bowls, wouldn’t their strength be completely depleted in just over an hour?

"Instructor Ye, that’s not fair, how could you not warn us about the effects of the potion beforehand?" Ye Dongjian asked with a pained expression.

"Exactly, exactly! Instructor Ye, how about we start the training tomorrow instead?" Wu Kunming quickly added.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes grew even more piercing as he exclaimed, "Who exactly is the instructor here—you or me? To become strong, you must be able to handle any sudden danger. Even if all the strength in your bodies is depleted, as long as you hide well, you won’t be discovered by the beasts in the mountain range."

"Now is not the time for idle talk. Either withdraw from the training immediately or enter the Cangyun Mountain Range right now." Ye Chenfeng did not make any exceptions for Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, despite them being his seniors. From the moment they voluntarily joined this training, Ye Chenfeng became their instructor, and a qualified instructor must uphold his authority and treat everyone equally.

For those like Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming who had drunk three bowls of the potion, this might just be an excellent opportunity for a breakthrough. (To be continued.
