On Sunday, Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan didn’t rest at home, like they had on Saturday. They went to the army early in the morning instead.
On one hand, Luo Lingxing hadn’t come to the military district in a while. It seemed he hadn’t returned since being granted the rank of second lieutenant. Although the army didn’t really need him to do anything, it was still best to visit every once in a while.
On the other hand, he hadn’t done physical training in a long time, and this reality show didn’t need him to be active either. Although his body wouldn’t degenerate, he wouldn’t advance either. So Luo Lingxing planned on coming on Sundays to train. He would also check the army’s martial arts while he was here.
In fact, Han Junzhan didn’t agree with Luo Lingxing. After all, although they couldn’t exercise while shooting the reality show, it still required mental energy, which meant one could get tired easily. However, Luo Lingxing persuaded Han Junzhan, who always pampered and indulged him. So he could only agree.
Luo Lingxing arrived at the military district. and the soldiers were very happy. Even before Han Junzhan’s hover car landed, the soldiers who had already received word spread news throughout the entire military district. And so, when Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan arrived at the first legion’s training grounds, they found almost everyone from all four legions had run here too.
The training ground was quite large, but it was still crowded trying to accommodate everyone from all four legions at the same time.
“You’re from the second legion, so what are you doing here? Our regimental commander arrived, so what does that have to do with you? Hurry up and leave!” The men of the first legion saw the people from the other legions around them, they immediately began to shout to try and chase them off.
It was rare for young master Luo to come. If he was annoyed by these rough men and refused to return in the future, they would have to pay for it.
“Hehe, young master Luo is the second lieutenant. He belongs to everyone. You can’t monopolize him.”
“Damn, you’re from the third legion, right? Don’t think that just because you squeeze yourself in the corner that I won’t be able to recognize you. Go back!”
“When young master Luo leaves, I’ll go back.” The man from the third legion held the railing of the training ground and refused to be pulled away.
“You! You’re saying that. The last time you challenged our legion, didn’t you say you’ll never step into our place again? Why are you going back on your word so quickly?”
“…” The person pretended he didn’t hear. He looked up toward the sky and refused to look at the person speaking.
The four legions, who were originally noisy like they were at a market, immediately quieted down after seeing Luo Lingxing’s figure. It seemed as if they weren’t being chaotic just now.
“Young master Luo, hello,” the people of the four legions greeted. Their voices were penetrating. One could also tell from their greeting, that the person they admired the most had changed.
In the past, Han Junzhan was the youngest and most promising Major General in the history of the army. He was the object of worship and yearning for all the soldiers.
But ever since Luo Lingxing appeared in the military district, everyone gradually became captivated by Luo Lingxing. Even if the other party didn’t intentionally show them anything, based on his willpower, skills, and contribution to the army, it was already enough to earn him the admiration and worship of the military district.
Military people worshiped the strong, and Luo Lingxing was incomparably strong. Not only was he strong, he wasn’t stingy about keeping his martial arts a secret either, so the entire army could cultivate and strive to build an even stronger army. How could they not worship him? Not worship him?
Most importantly, young master Luo was much younger than them.
“Hello.” Luo Lingxing looked at the crowd of people. Except for the first row of people, whom he could see their faces clearly, he couldn’t see anything else, but this wasn’t important to Luo Lingxing.
One of the reasons he came today was to test these people’s cultivation. He figured he could test them in batches. As a result, each of the four legions were here, which saved him time finding them.
Luo Lingxing didn’t waste time and directly said, “Since you’re all here, we’ll test your current abilities now.”
“Young master Luo, are you going to teach us advanced technique?” a soldier couldn’t hold back from asking. Ever since he’d received information from his superiors, he’d been excited. He knew they were only learning elementary techniques right now. As long as they practiced well and they had the abilities, they would also be able to practice advanced techniques and their strength could improve. As someone who pursued strength, there was no better news.
Therefore, during this period, they all worked hard to train. This was all so that when Luo Lingxing came to test them, they could qualify for advanced techniques.
“If you can pass the test,” Luo Lingxing said.
Just when Luo Lingxing’s words fell, the people of the four legions couldn’t suppress their excitement. They all looked forward to their test. Some people who learned later even regretted not using their sleeping time to train, so that they had a higher chance of passing.
“How will we be tested?” The soldiers were eager to try, and their eyes flashed with fiery passion.
Generally speaking, the fastest way to test strength was to fight. That way, one could see the gap between oneself and the other party.
However, with Luo Lingxing here, there was no need for trouble. If they all fight in pairs, it would probably take three days and nights, and they still wouldn’t complete all the tests.
Luo Lingxing took out a board that was as tall as a human from his space. It was made from special materials that can be used to test humans.
He put the board down and told everyone, “Stand in a line. One by one, you will all hit this board as hard as you can. I will use the data to see if you passed or not.”
Everyone was curious about this board that wasn’t that thick. If it was before, they wouldn’t have worried about breaking the board with a punch, but they wouldn’t doubt Luo Lingxing’s methods. They were eager to give it a try.
The disciplined soldiers all lined up according to their legions. Line cutting didn’t happen within the military district. “Okay, you can start,” Luo Lingxing said indifferently from the side.
The time required for the test wasn’t long. Even if many people needed to be tested, it wouldn’t take long.
The first soldier walked forward under the eyes of everyone’s expectation. He swung his hand as hard as he could and hit the board from a distance.
Although these soldiers had started cultivating martial arts late, and the effectiveness wasn’t as good as if they had started as children, as long as they worked hard and used the correct method, they could still cultivate some internal energy. Luo Lingxing had them punch from a distance to test their internal energy.
When the first soldier hit the board, it didn’t move at all. Nothing happened.
“Unqualified.” Luo Lingxing’s voice was calm the entire time. But when the first soldier heard this, he was a little frustrated and had to stand on the side silently.
The second soldier came forward. Like the person before him, the board stayed motionless.
“Unqualified,” Luo Lingxing repeated.
The first ten people were all unqualified. The soldiers in the back became worried. After all, the people in the front were all from the first legion, and they had practiced this martial arts a lot longer than the other legions. If the qualification rate was so low for the first legion, they couldn’t even imagine how it would be for the other legions.
However, despite this, nobody doubted Luo Lingxing’s methods.
It wasn’t until the 20th soldier came forward that the board finally had a slight change. A shallow palm print formed on the surface. Although it was almost indistinguishable, if you looked carefully, it was still there.
“Barely qualified,” Luo Lingxing said calmly. He pointed to the opposite side of where the others stood.
The eyes of envy and jealousy from the soldiers who’d already tested all drifted over. The person who passed didn’t care. He was just excited.
All the people of the first legion tested, and only about a dozen were qualified. There were about a thousand people in each legion, which meant the qualification rate was less than 1%. This was enough to see how low the qualification was.
Immediately afterwards, the personnel of the second legion started their testing. The time spent on their testing was even shorter than the first legion’s. The passing rate was even lower too. Only one person passed out of one hundred.
“Huff…” The current person testing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He still had a little confidence, after all, he’d worked very hard.
Sure enough, his diligence paid off. His palm also left a mark on the board. He immediately felt the surrounding people’s eyes fill with jealousy, but he was happy to have this honor.
However, Luo Lingxing’s brow frowned slightly as he said, “Unqualified.”
The person who’d just been smiling immediately stiffened his expression. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing and had to confirm, “Young master Luo, what did you say?”
“Unqualified,” Luo Lingxing repeated.
“Why? There’s clearly a palm mark.” Not only did this person not understand, everyone else was also confused.
“Besides practicing this, do you also train something else?” Luo Lingxing asked softly.
“Yes,” Zhou Qi nodded. He was even more confused. How did this have anything to do with being qualified or not?
“Your daily practice is already at the maximum level you can bear. As a result, you’ve increased your training and damaged your body. You haven’t cultivated long yet, so you can’t tell, but this is very likely to leave hidden dangers. The more you cultivate later, the more obvious the hidden dangers will be, and the slower your progress will be. The cultivation should proceed smoothly. One shouldn’t rush, or else not only will you fail to improve, you might even destroy your cultivation,” Luo Lingxing said. He didn’t speak only for the person before him to hear but for everyone, because he discovered that more than one person had this issue.
When everyone heard this, they suddenly showed expressions of surprise and horror. They always thought that the more time they spent cultivating, the faster they could progress. But now they learned that spending more time might not progress them, but it might even be dangerous.
The people who regretted not using their sleeping time to cultivate earlier all sighed for relief. They were glad.
“Young master Zhou, then I…” Zhou Qi was also shocked when he heard this. He understood the meaning behind those words. If he was injured, he could be ruined.
“You haven’t cultivated for long yet. But in the future, remember not to rush and disregard your body. Rest for a while. You can do your daily training, but don’t cultivate. Once your body fully recovers, you can practice advanced techniques with them,” Luo Lingxing said.
“Understood. Thank you, Young master Luo.”
Zhou Qi was very happy to hear that he could continue to cultivate, and that he could even cultivate the advanced techniques. Zhou Qi was very happy.
