How strong is the potential generated by human willpower?

It's said that to save a child falling from a high building, a mother's speed can surpass that of a world champion. To rescue a wife trapped under a car, a husband can unleash the power to lift a vehicle weighing several tons.

In Austin's previous world where extraordinary power had not yet manifested, this was true; in this world, the potential explosively unleashed by intense willpower is even greater.

And it happens that, through relentless indoctrination and subtle influences from various matters, every beastman in the Dragon Nest Tribe has developed unparalleled personal worship towards Austin.

Using a church structure analogy, a large portion of the Dragon Nest Beastmen within the Dragon Nest Tribe are Austin's fanatical followers, especially within the extraordinary beastman legion of the Dark Dragon Guard and the Dragon Vein Attendants.

Their seeds of extraordinary power were granted by Austin, akin to divine blessings given by a deity. Their fanaticism for Austin is even more intense than that of ordinary beastmen.

Because of this, through repeated training, and relying on that intense belief, many extraordinary beastmen continuously pushed beyond their limits, keeping up with the increasing training intensity.

However, even so, after a month, only about twenty of those extraordinary beastmen remained, with the rest being eliminated for failing to keep up with the training pace.

During this month-long training, owing to scientific methods and the potent effects of giant beast meat, the strength of the extraordinary beastmen soared, particularly the twenty who persevered to the end. If placed in the Sea King World, Austin speculates their attack power would be at least above one hundred to two hundred Dao Power, making them superhumans, ten times stronger than an average human soldier.

Of course, training these elites consumed substantial resources from the Dragon Nest Tribe. If not for these extraordinary beastmen going out for giant beast hunts during training, the expenditure for their training alone might have depleted the Dragon Nest Tribe's reserves.

With repeated hunts, the traces of giant beasts within a hundred-mile radius of the Dragon Nest have become scarce.

The remaining twenty beastmen's attack power reached between one hundred and two hundred Dao Power, laying a foundation. Following One Piece World's framework, they could begin training in the Navy Six Techniques.

Throughout this month of training, besides creating training plans for the extraordinary beastmen, Austin was not idle.

Indeed, he already had ideas for the magic modification of the Navy Six Techniques and had begun the transformation, only awaiting the final experimental stage.

To integrate the Navy Six Techniques into this world, Austin couldn't spend ten years studying pure body techniques without a systematic training method. From the start, his goal was to combine Fighting Qi with the Navy Six Techniques, modifying them into combat techniques for this world.

Austin did not possess knowledge about combat techniques, nor did the beastmen in the Dragon Nest Tribe. Whether it be Austin or his extraordinary beastmen, their abilities were akin to talent magic and were not acquired through postnatal cultivation.

But that didn't matter, as there were a group of mercenary captives within the Dragon Nest Tribe.

After more than a month of tough slave struggles, when Austin showed the slightest hint, many mercenary captives naturally decided to submit to him, joining the Dragon Nest Tribe.

Submitting to beings different from oneself seemed unbelievable to Austin's past self, and hard to accept as treachery among humans.

Yet, the truth reflects that, according to Austin's previous world history of human civilization, the rise of nationalism and patriotism truly began among the masses after the Western Renaissance.

Prior to that, most lower-class people were indifferent to who their kingdom's rulers were, really caring more about next year's harvest, taxation, marriage, death rights, and everyday needs, without much concern for ethnic differences.

There wasn't even a concept of traitors or collaborators, and no one felt it shameful to submit to different ethnic groups.

Before the awakening of nationalism and statism, the Manchu Qing managed to rule the vast Divine Land, governing millions of Han Chinese with only about a hundred thousand people.

But as foreign powers invaded and nationalism gradually rose, patriotism awakened among people, and even with East Japan's then ten-fold national power over Huaxia, it returned with no success, battered on the fiercely resistant Divine Land.

This was true in Austin's previous world, and it is also the case here.

Though this world boasts glorious extraordinary powers, its political systems still brim with the decay of aristocratic-peasant frameworks. Can one make a peasant understand the concepts of nationality, patriotism, or human-ethnic heroic duty?

No.

Peasants are thus, and mercenaries struggling and surviving under noble dominance are likewise.

That's why, aside from some stubborn individuals, most mercenaries submitted to Austin, joining the Dragon Nest Tribe system without feeling anything wrong about it, given their minds lack the concept of ethnic differences.

With the mercenaries' inclusion, Austin gained an insight into human extraordinary systems.

Unlike extraordinary beastmen or Austin's talent magic, human warriors lacked innate talents. Their Fighting Qi and power were cultivated, as were their combat techniques.

This gave Austin significant insights into creating combat techniques.

After several days of research, Austin discovered that mercenaries' combat techniques essentially activated powerful attack abilities by channeling Fighting Qi through blood vessels.

This means the combat technique's destructive power is essentially the destructive power of Fighting Qi.

No wonder techniques like Tornado Slash, Charge, and Wind-breaking Slash can be used by anyone adept with Fighting Qi, as this is merely straightforward application of Fighting Qi.

These combat techniques crudely utilize Fighting Qi to cover weapons, generating great lethal power by only employing the power of Fighting Qi, without coordination with the body to fully unleash its capabilities.

Understanding this, although Austin felt somewhat disappointed, he also gained greater confidence.

Now what he seeks to create is a fusion of Fighting Qi and body techniques, forging a new combat body technique, whose application will certainly be more powerful than these straightforward utilitarian Fighting Qi combat techniques.

With the mercenaries' usage of Fighting Qi as reference, Austin also gained direction on how to adapt the Navy Six Techniques for local modification.
