Garden Village, an ordinary small village in the Wood Spirit Kingdom in the southwest corner of the Elemental Continent.

As the sun rises, there is still a hint of cold air in the early morning on the small village of Huayuan Village, but almost all the residents of the small village have already come out to work, even children as young as six or seven years old have almost all gotten up to start the traditional morning exercise.

In the open space to the west of the Garden Village, the warm morning sun shines through the large trees next to the clearing, leaving dappled spots of light in the clearing.

I saw a large group of children, and I estimated that there were about one or two hundred. The group of children was divided into three teams, each of which was lined up in several rows, and the children all stood quietly in the open space with serious faces.

The children in the easternmost group of children were about six to eight years old. The middle team is about nine to twelve years old, and the westernmost group is a group of thirteen to sixteen years old.

In front of this large group of children were three stout middle-aged men, all wearing short-sleeved vests and coarse cloth trousers.

"If you want to be a great warrior or a magician, you have to train hard from an early age. The middle-aged man led by him put his hands behind his back, held his head high and said coldly, his cold gaze swept towards the easternmost team, and the group of six or seven-year-old children pursed their mouths one by one, and their dark eyes stared at the middle-aged man, not daring to make a sound at all.

The middle-aged man named Xu He, who is a sixth-level warrior, is the captain of the Huayuan Village Guard, joined the army when he was young, experienced bloody battles on the battlefield, and is the strongest man in the entire village.

"Horse walk, thirty minutes, the timer begins. Xu He glanced at the pocket watch in his hand and shouted to the whole team, "Your feet should be slightly wider than your shoulders, your legs should squat, remember to be steady." ”

All the children are in unison, exhaling and inhaling. These children are obviously very proficient in this horse step, but with the passage of time, there are already some children in the easternmost team of six or seven year old children who are short of breath and tremble slightly, but no one dares to lift it slightly.

Ten minutes passed, and the easternmost children were already a little distant, but they were still gritting their teeth and persevering. Xu He, who was the leader, shouted after seeing this scene, "You are children in a small mountain village, you don't have high-level cheats and no powerful teachers, you have to endure hardships to become masters, tell me loudly, can you still persevere?" Xu He, who was born in the army, naturally knows very well about boosting morale.

"Can !!" the children said in unison, and the youngest children just now readjusted their posture and continued to persevere.

After another ten minutes, the easternmost children had fallen to the ground one after another, and the children of about ten years old in the middle team were also a little shaken, but the westernmost youths were still as steady as Mount Tai.

"Brother Xu, look, there is still a child in the easternmost part who is insisting. Said the captain in charge of the westernmost youth team. Xu He fixed his eyes, and sure enough, there was a six or seven-year-old handsome child in the easternmost part, with black hair, wearing a cyan vest, black leggings underneath, and there were already some beads of sweat dripping on the ground on his head, and his clothes were firm, but his eyes were firm, and his body was not moving like a lion waiting for an opportunity to move.

"Good boy, whose child is this? Xu He changed his previous stern expression and asked with a slight smile.

"Captain, it's the child of the Wang family, named Wang Zhong, who should be seven years old this year. The middle-aged man surnamed Du said respectfully.

"Wang Zhong, yes, it's a good seedling, Lao Du, when Wang Zhong falls, tell the easternmost children to rest for ten minutes, and then let Wang Zhong practice with the middle team, I'll take it." Xu He said.

"But captain, if this matter is known to the Wang family, do you know that the old man ......" The man surnamed Du muttered in a low voice, obviously a little jealous of the Wang family.

Xu He stopped him with a wave of his hand and interrupted him, "What are you afraid of, this kid is so careful but so tenacious, if you are willing to cultivate seriously, you can at least become a sixth-level warrior, a sixth-level warrior! If you join the army, you can easily become a middle-level non-commissioned officer, in this elemental continent, strength is the only criterion for evaluating men, if you can become a magician, then you can call for wind and rain on this continent, his father won't let me say it." Xu He's eyes were full of envy when he mentioned the magician, and at this moment, Wang Zhong was also physically exhausted and collapsed.

The man surnamed Du then walked to the easternmost square and ordered, "Children, rest for ten minutes, Wang Zhong, come here." ”

Wang Zhong patted the soil on his pants and walked towards the man surnamed Du, and the children around him had already begun to talk word by word. "Uncle Du, what's wrong, what's the matter with me?"

"Wang Zhong, Captain Xu asked you to go and practice with the middle team, but it will be a little hard, are you willing?" The middle-aged man surnamed Du smiled slightly and pointed to the group of nine to twelve-year-old children in the middle in the distance.

Wang Zhong also looked in the direction of his finger, and at the same time glanced at Xu He, who was standing tall in the middle, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Okay, I'm willing, I'm not afraid of hardship." Then he followed the middle-aged man surnamed Du and walked towards the middle team.

Xu He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as he looked at the two people who came over, and said, "Wang Zhong, from today onwards, you will practice with these brothers, but you can say it in advance, I won't lower your requirements for you because of your young age, do you understand?"

Wang Zhong looked up at Xu He, who was full of muscles, there was a trace of longing in his eyes, a trace of desire to become a strong man, his eyes were like torches, and he said firmly, "I understand, Uncle Xu, I will not let you down." Then, under the gaze of the teenagers, who were either surprised, contemptuous, or appropriated, they went straight to the end of the line.

Xu He looked around and said, "Now follow me to learn the second move, lunge." "As soon as the body is twisted, the left leg takes a big step forward, the knee is bent at a right angle, and the right leg is tightly straight, and the chest is straight, all in one go.

The children of the three teams imitated one after another, and Wang Zhong also imitated the movements of Captain Xu He, and just after the movements were done, Xu He's voice sounded again, "Remember the main points, bow your front legs, and retreat." ”

And the kings did likewise. It was still a thirty-minute requirement, and the time passed minute by minute, and Wang Zhong also heard a lot of movement on his right, and obviously some eleven or twelve-year-old children couldn't hold on, and sighed in his heart: It seems that my physical fitness has caught up with that of a twelve-year-old child, and it seems that my regular swimming is really useful.

There is a clear river in the westernmost part of the garden village, people often plant flowers or other plants there to fetch water on weekdays, Wang Zhong has been fond of swimming since he was six years old, and this year or so has indeed improved his physical fitness a lot, but his figure still looks a little thin.

"Hold on to the middle team, you see that Wang Zhong is three or four years younger than you, and he is still insisting, remember, the body is a container, and the fighting spirit and magic are wine, even if there is a secret book of no matter how powerful the exercises are, the body can't bear it, it's a waste. ”

Wang Zhong smiled bitterly, "This Uncle Xu said this, I will not become the target of the public, but the fighting spirit is wine, the body is the container, it is really good, even if I am allowed to exercise with these brothers in the morning, then I can't be compared to them." ”

Twenty minutes passed, Wang Zhong only felt that his body was a little heavy, his left leg was a little unbearable, and the lunges were all supported by this front leg, so naturally the front leg was tired first.

"Hold on, hold on, you can. Wang Zhong secretly cheered himself up in his heart, but for a seven-year-old child who first pierced the horse for 30 minutes, this 30-minute lunge was already an impossible task, just when Wang Zhong finally couldn't hold on and was ready to give up, suddenly a stream of energy in the body flowed from the dantian to the sore left leg, slowly, slowly the left leg was not sore, and the whole body felt very refreshing, "What's the matter, I was obviously tired to death just now, and now not only is it not painful or sore, but I actually feel full of strength." ”

Xu He glanced at the old pocket watch in his hand and shouted, "It's time, I'm doing very well, the children in the east and middle are training today, and the ones in the west are running with me for half an hour." At the same time, he glanced at Wang Zhong at the back of the team and smiled with satisfaction.
