"Yo? Back already?" Zhang Menglong greeted them with a smile.

"Legion Commander!" All the warriors responded enthusiastically to Zhang Menglong, eyes filled with admiration and reverence.

Initially, they questioned whether Zhang Menglong had the capability to lead a legion. It only took a day for each of them to completely submit to him. Now, in the entire legion, there's only one idol, and that's Zhang Menglong.

"So, how was today's haul?"

"Not too great," Liu Yi shrugged. "Within a day's journey, we've practically raided all the base cities of hostile universes. We've beaten up who needed beating and taken what needed taking. Business is tough now."

"Yeah," a soldier under Liu Yi echoed, "Over the past year, surrounding universes have gotten really crafty. It's getting tough to grab resources, can't even meet our KPIs. Is it possible to go a bit further to loot?"

"As long as you can ensure your own safety," Zhang Menglong replied.

"Don't worry, Legion Commander. We've been in action tens of thousands of times this year, and at most, only a few have gotten lightly injured. Even if we can't win, we can surely make a run for it."

"Alright, go rest. I'll take the General and other legion commanders on a tour."

"Got it!"

...

"Menglong, what is this KPI thing?" Luo Ze asked curiously.

"Oh, it's our assessment index," Zhang Menglong said. "I've assigned it to them. Each division must raid resources from a base city of an enemy universe every week, with each haul no less than what a base city produces in 100 years."

"Cough cough cough cough!" The legion commanders were all dumbfounded.

Now they finally understood why Zhang Menglong had so many surplus resources to dabble in fancy things. Who would've thought it was all through looting.

No wonder they haven't faced any attacks from civilizations this past year. Now thinking about it, maybe those civilizations' base cities are too busy defending against Zhang Menglong to have time to mess with them?

"Commander Zhang, we want to see how you train your troops, we'd like to visit your training ground."

"Training ground? No, no, if you want to see training, I'll take you to the teaching area!"

Zhang Menglong walked towards the teaching area with his hands behind his back.

The teaching area is mainly composed of two zones: a theoretical area and a practical area.

The theoretical area is very quiet, divided into rooms, each with a label on the door.

"Nine Yang Sacred Technique Class."

"Nine Yin Scripture Class."

"Yi Jin Jing Class."

"Burning Heaven Scripture Class."

"Wild Desolation Scripture Class."

"Basic Magic Class."

...

In each room, groups of warriors trained with different methods; some sat cross-legged, some gestured with hands, some floated in midair glowing with flashes of light.

"Are they practicing Foundation Techniques?" a legion commander asked. "Can I see their basic physical stats?"

"Of course!" Zhang Menglong smiled.

With Zhang Menglong's permission, they immediately activated their detection instruments.

"Comprehensive data, 1209 points!"

"1823 points!"

"1088 points!"

...

A single scan revealed that no one had basic stats below 1000 points. Considering their average basic stats were around 70 when they enlisted, they've increased more than tenfold in just a year!

In fact, no matter how poor their innate talent, compared to Earthlings, they're absolute prodigies, one in ten thousand. Their speed in practicing these cultivation techniques or internal cultivation methods is even faster than the norm. Such progress is not surprising.

"Are the names of Foundation Techniques written on these room doors?"

"That's right." Zhang Menglong nodded.

"Such valuable techniques, and you're willing to teach them to ordinary warriors?"

"Nothing surprising about it," Zhang Menglong shrugged. To him, these internal cultivation methods and cultivation techniques are piled endlessly. They're just commonplace goods he doesn't mind parting with.

But to those legion commanders, these are things that could establish a grand organization in the universe!

"Come on, let me show you the practical area next!"

They had just walked into the practical area's building when a powerful explosion sound came from one of the rooms.

That room was made entirely of S-grade metal, with only a tiny super-strength glass window to view the inside.

"Watch closely, I'll demonstrate once more, why my Pegasus Meteor Fist can throw tens of thousands of punches in a second, while only a handful of you can reach hundreds. Pay attention to my movements!"

In front of the room, a division leader in training gear was demonstrating in front of a reinforced strength testing machine.

The young man threw a punch, and countless afterimages of fists, like meteors, madly pummeled the strength testing machine.

"That's a level four strength testing machine, with a maximum score of 1 million, our legion commander's base standard," a legion commander familiar with the equipment said.

The machine's score soared, fifty thousand, a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, finally stopping at 500,000!

Just one punch's power, enough to instantaneously kill the highest commander of a base city!

"Their strength has grown!" The legion commanders were visibly shocked.

"Give it a try!" The division leader offered a spot.

"I'll go!" A warrior stepped forward, throwing a Pegasus Meteor Fist, but his punches lacked the frequency and impact of the division leader's.

"7000? A Level Five peak life form generated over 7000 points?"

"Basic stats are around 1000, this martial skill can increase their power by seven times!"

"Are they having a class?"

"What's the level of this martial skill?"

"Hmm...should be Level Eight or Level Nine," Zhang Menglong said, "But they're not mastering it well yet, can't fully unleash its potential."

"Level Eight or Nine martial secrets..." The legion commanders felt their hearts bleed; things even some of them didn't have were being taught to even the lowest-ranked warriors in Zhang Menglong's legion.

"What's that place?" Suddenly, a burst of heat was coming from a room next door.

"Oh, they're doing alchemy!"

"Alchemy? Alchemy?"

"Yes," Zhang Menglong said, "We scientifically cultivate, these things help them grow stronger faster."

"You're teaching them alchemy too?"

"Of course," Zhang Menglong retorted, "With 1 billion people in the legion, I'd die if I did it all myself!"

"Legion Commander, you're here?" At this moment, a warrior passed by, "Want to see the new weapon we've developed?"

"You're developing weapons too?"

"Yes." Zhang Menglong nodded, "The weapons in our universe are too weak, they barely affect life forms above Level Six, so I formed a research team to develop weapons ourselves."

Luo Ze was stunned; Universe Seven's entire research team was there, housing the best scientists and weapon experts across the universe. Could they be crafting more powerful weapons than Universe Seven's official teams?

"What kind of weapon did you develop? What's its power?" Luo Ze asked eagerly.

"Not much, just one shot to destroy a base city!"
