Chapter 39: Corporate Training — The Brainwashing Begins!

“Ascension! Ascension! Boundless power! Eternal immortal blessing! Longevity equal to Heaven!”

“When the President takes the stage, the world unites!”

“Ura——!”

The mountain-shaking, sea-roaring shouts echoed above the training field behind the mountain, startling the birds into scattering from the forest.

Over thirteen hundred people roared in unison with spiritual power — the momentum was so immense that it was more terrifying than the full-scale mobilization of some small sects.

Those who had just joined the Group, especially the former inner disciples of the Aotian Alliance, at first could not bring themselves to join in, thinking such behavior was foolish.

But as they were engulfed by the overwhelming, earth-shattering fervor, as they saw that everyone around them — whether a menial laborer or an outer disciple — was shouting with sincere devotion and zealous eyes, an indescribable sense of collective honor and belonging welled up in their hearts.

“What… what’s going on? I… I feel so fired up…”

A new inner disciple muttered in shock at the atmosphere.

“Shout! What are you spacing out for!”

Beside him, Wang Teng barked in a low voice, “This is the Group’s ‘corporate culture’! It’s cohesion! You think the President made us shout for nothing? This is a kind of ‘Soundwave Resonance Cultivation Method’ — it can ignite the team’s spirit and boost cultivation efficiency! Hurry, shout along!”

Wang Teng, having freshly learned the concept, rephrased a few terms Chu Feng had used in yesterday’s interview in his own understanding.

“Soundwave Resonance Cultivation Method?”

The disciple froze, finding it absurd, yet seeing Wang Teng’s serious face and feeling the passionate atmosphere surrounding him, he half-believed it and started shouting softly.

“U… Ura…”

Once one person took the lead, the others quickly shed their reserve.

Soon, the entire formation was swept into this frenzy.

On the high platform, Chu Feng looked at the scene with satisfaction.

Very good.

The first step of spiritual brainwashing — completed.

He gestured for Zhang Daniu to stop, then stepped forward again.

“Family members, excellent work!”

Chu Feng’s voice was filled with praise. “Just now, through our slogans, we unified our essence, energy, and spirit! Now, we will begin the second and most important part of our morning meeting — case review and strategic learning!”

“As everyone knows, our Ascension Group rose to fame in the recent Sect Tournament! We created the greatest miracle in the history of Qingyun Sect! But, have you ever thought — why did we win?”

Chu Feng threw out the question.

The audience erupted in discussion.

“Because the President’s tactics were brilliant!”

“Because we were united!”

“Because Brother Daniu’s wolf-tooth mace was awesome!”

“All correct, but not complete.”

Chu Feng raised his hand, signaling silence.

A faintly profound smile appeared on his face.

“Our victory, of course, came from our own excellence. But more importantly — it came from the fatal mistakes of our competitors!”

“Today, our first training course will be an in-depth analysis of a classic business failure case — ‘On the Collapse of the Aotian Alliance and the Inevitable Bankruptcy of Personal Heroism!’”

“Pfft—”

Below the stage, Wang Teng and the other surrendered members of the Aotian Alliance nearly spat blood upon hearing the course title.

This was too ruthless!

Openly dissecting their former boss in front of all the “former employees”?

It was like peeling off Li Aotian’s face, laying it on the ground, and stomping on it tens of thousands of times!

Yet, none of them dared show dissatisfaction.

Instead, they perked up their ears — curious to hear how this President Chu would analyze it.

Chu Feng completely ignored their reactions.

Behind him, a large wooden board was set upright, and Wu Hao, holding a piece of charcoal, played the role of “assistant lecturer.”

“Let’s see — where did the Aotian Alliance, or rather, the ‘project’ named Li Aotian, fail?” Chu Feng’s voice gleamed with reason, as if he were a true scholar.

“First, failure of top-level design!”

Chu Feng raised one finger.

“Li Aotian was clever, but not wise. His so-called Aotian Alliance was essentially a private slave group serving him personally, not a modern enterprise with shared goals and interests. Such a model was doomed to never grow big or strong!”

“Second, lack of corporate culture!”

He raised a second finger.

“Did the Aotian Alliance have culture? None! Its only ‘culture’ was Li Aotian’s moods! When he was happy, he threw you a bone. When he was upset, you became his punching bag. An organization lacking positive motivation and human care — how could its members ever develop a sense of belonging? Disunity was inevitable!”

“Third, and most fatal of all — an outdated business model!”

Chu Feng’s voice rang powerfully.

“What did Li Aotian believe in? ‘Personal strength crushes all!’ Maybe that worked a hundred years ago. But today, under the guiding light of our Ascension Group’s Scientific Cultivation Perspective, such thinking is utterly obsolete!”

“He was like an old craftsman showing off how sharp his handmade sword was. Meanwhile, we’ve already built an assembly line, producing thousands of standardized weapons faster and cheaper! How could he compete with us?”

Every word Chu Feng spoke struck like thunder, leaving the crowd utterly spellbound.

What was once merely a matter of disciples forming cliques had been elevated by him to the level of business models, top-level design, and corporate culture.

The newly joined disciples now looked at Chu Feng with eyes full of worship.

So… so this was why they had won! Not luck — but profound reasoning behind it!

The President was truly a divine genius!

Wang Teng and the others were drenched in cold sweat.

They realized that every point Chu Feng made was spot-on — hitting every weakness of the Aotian Alliance precisely.

For the first time, they felt that their decision to switch companies had been the wisest move of their lives.

“So, family members!”

Chu Feng concluded, “Remember Li Aotian’s failure! His failure is the best stepping stone to our success! His case teaches us — the strength of one man is not true strength! A team, an organization, a collective with advanced ideas and shared goals — that is invincible!”

“From today onward, our Ascension Group will completely abandon the outdated concept of personal heroism! We will embrace collectivism! We will believe in the power of teamwork! We will forge every one of you into standardized talents aligned with the Group’s growth needs!”

“To achieve this goal, I hereby announce — under my theoretical guidance, our Group’s Chief Product Officer, Miss Leng Yanran, has successfully developed a revolutionary product that will overturn not just a sect, but the entire Cultivation World’s Alchemy system!”

Chu Feng’s words gripped everyone’s attention.

“This product will be the first step toward cultivating standardized talents! It will also mark the beginning of our profitability — allowing every family member to enjoy Team Profit Sharing!”

“Now, let us welcome our Cold CPO to present this era-defining product!”

Under the gaze of all, dressed in white as pure and cold as snow, Leng Yanran slowly stepped onto the high platform.
