Chapter XXVIII

On the edge of the endless sea, the golden sand beach makes people can't help but sunbathe on it, but now a group of stout men have used this beautiful beach as a training ground, where they wantonly sway their sweat, one by one bare, their strong muscles shine in the sun. Each of them has dark skin, and the muscle lines are so majestic, as if there is endless power hidden in them. Sweat trickled down the angular muscles, dripping into the yellow sand on the ground. Quietly blending into it, standing between the low mountains and forests, looking at the training crowd who were almost dissatisfied with the entire beach, these young and strong people from all over the Tang Dynasty who had just come off the boat all felt a speechless shock.

"Hmph...... Ha ......" shouted from the crowd of people who were training, and it was a group of people running side by side on the beach carrying a thick log that was full of thickness around it. The soft sand is imprinted with a deep footprint under their feet. Each of these people is holding back a lot of energy, because here only the training against the bottom of the people will enjoy such treatment, they are now carrying a log on their shoulders is several zhang long, such wood weighs a thousand catties, although a group of them have more than ten people, each of them is a hundred or ten pounds of weight, so it is not heavy, but in this soft sand, and to keep not with those in front of the bare hands of the gap is a difficult project. And if you don't work together properly, you'll find that you don't have the slightest weight on your shoulders one moment, and the next. The burden of hundreds of pounds falls on your shoulders at once, this feeling of lightness and weight. Let everyone who has enjoyed it hate it incomparably. There are even many people who have been seriously injured directly because of their lack of cooperation with each other.

"See? Here is our training base for the coming days. You will also be one of them, enjoy the last relaxing time, and from tomorrow o'clock onwards, you will also be joining in the fun! The soldier who had brought them here gave them a meaningful smile and led them in the other direction, where the newcomers would be given no dormitories.

The sun shines through the clouds, and a new day begins on this tiny island. With the sound of a vast horn, everyone woke up from their dreams. Then quickly put on your clothes. Assemble towards the shore.

"There's a new guy here today, boys, are you ready to give them a big gift?" A rough voice rang out on the quiet seashore, and a stout man like a brown bear stood at the front and said loudly in front of the phalanx where everyone had gathered.

"Ready!" An earth-shattering answer, everyone roared at the top of their voices, on this island, bullying newcomers is a tradition, and the first to come is the veterans. For newcomers, they must first give them a dismount and establish their own status. Of course, there are also fierce people among the newcomers, who will stand out at this time and become heroes worshiped by countless people. A hero who resists the oppression of veterans. Of course, such people are all rare seedlings of top soldiers, who can quickly be appreciated by the middle and high levels of the army, so as to rise to the top.

"So. The old rule, first come to a ten-mile armed off-road. Let Lao Tzu see if there are any good seedlings among the newcomers! The big black man laughed, and then took the lead in picking up a pair of armor from the ground on the side and putting it on. The pitch-black armor has a hideous beast head on it, some of which look like tigers in the mountains, and some of which look like male masters on the grassland, with no armor leaves, only a bare iron plate. At the position of the shoulders, the two beast heads swallowed to form a pair of shoulder guards, which looked majestic and full of evil spirit. After putting on this armor, the big black man looked at the group of people in front of him, these soldiers who had been training for a long time had already quickly selected their weapons from the weapon rack on the beach on the side. Spears and knives were equipped on their bodies, and the entire queue showed an incomparable edge at this moment.

"Let's go!" The black man picked up the Mo knife on the ground, this Mo knife was much larger than the common one, the blade was straight and narrow, shining under the rising sun, and the bright light was reflected to everyone's eyes with his movements, dazzling that people couldn't see the blade clearly.

As soon as the words fell, the big black man took the lead in turning around and rushed towards the sea that was still rolling the waves, and rushed straight into the sea, without stopping at all, until the sea water reached his knees, and began to run in the knee-deep water, and then along the sea water of the beach, a team of people began the most basic training every morning. Wearing armor and holding swords in their hands, they rushed along the shore in the knee-deep water, the tide of the sea was still lapping the beach on the shore again and again, and every time the tide ebbed and flowed, a surging force washed over this group of soldiers rushing in the sea.

The newcomers followed the veterans closely, the sea water flooded into their trousers, and the new boots under their feet were all filled with sea water at this time, and every step was so heavy, as if they were tied to sandbags weighing several pounds, and at every time the tide ebbed and flowed, the feeling of being washed away by the sea made them very uncomfortable, as if they could fall at any time.

"What kind of training is this? It's just a pit man! "All the newcomers are thinking like this in their hearts, they originally thought that they were following the caravan to engage in business, but they became soldiers, even if they were soldiers, they were also conscripted into the army when they were in their hometown, and they were no strangers to training, but who would have thought that it would be such a training method? Isn't it time to catch and kill on the school field and practice marksmanship? How did it turn into running along the beach? And wearing such an armor weighing twenty or thirty pounds, it seemed that he had to run ten miles after listening to the first order, which was simply a torture.

But their nightmare wasn't over, because when they finally came to the finish line with their heavy legs, they realized that it was actually a good decision to keep running like this.

Because the final destination of their group appeared in front of them, it was a beach that had been cut off, where there was no golden sand, but a muddy mud pool, where black silt had piled up, and a huge area was isolated and became a separate training ground. When they saw what looked like a swamp, they had a bad premonition.

"Next, it's a quagmire competition, where you can train your fighting skills, and the first thing to explain is that those who lose here have to go to the beach over there for a special training! Now we have 800 people in our team, so let's choose the last 100 people, and the last 100 people will receive that special training! The big black man stood on the edge of the quagmire and loudly announced today's rules, where someone will be punished every day, and the content of the competition is different every day, just like yesterday's punishment was to carry the log and train with others, and not to fall behind. I don't know what kind of punishment it will be today, but I hope it won't be too difficult!

"Now start the competition, because you have to choose the last 100 people, then catch the right two by two, then catch the team in two by two, and try again at the failure, so that there are only the bottom 100 people left, start now!" The black man gave instructions for the beginning, and the veterans began to look for an opponent and start a competition, and for a while, in this quagmire and swamp, hundreds of people began to fight each other, fists and feet, you punched over, I dodged, and took the opportunity to kick back. All of a sudden, countless people fought each other, fell into the mire, and then rolled and tore each other in the mud. Quickly divide the winner and loser, and the loser quickly attacks the losers around him, so that in just a quarter of an hour, there are only the bottom 100 people left, although there are some other ingredients in this, such as encountering a person of equal strength at the beginning, a large amount of body lĂŹ is consumed, but luck is sometimes part of the strength, so no one will raise grievances for such reasons. After experiencing this quagmire battle, everyone was covered in mud, but the black man blinked slightly, and found that most of the people left were newcomers. Only the troops with their own traditions can be passed down from generation to generation, just like a nation, and only a nation with its own traditions can occupy a place among the nations of the world. When you forget your ancestors, you completely disappear from this world, because you have been completely assimilated by other peoples.

"Alright, now that the worst hundred people have been decided, then go and receive your punishment, I hope you still have the strength to go to breakfast later!" The big black man laughed.

"What punishment is today?" Li Kuan stood in the distance of the quagmire, watching this competition, and asked a soldier in armor beside him.

"The waves stand up! In that area, we piled up countless stones into a shape that opened in both directions, so that a large area of the tide would be intercepted and gathered together to form relatively large waves, and in the midst of such waves, lie down when the tide rises, get up when the tide falls, and the upper left group of two hundred, and it is over! The soldier replied, such a punishment is really unbearable, this is completely challenging the limits of the human body, because there is a period of time between the ebb and flow of the tide, which is not only a test of arm strength, but also a test of lung capacity, such a punishment is believed to be unforgettable.
