Chapter 7 Cannon fodder
When this woman is not smiling, she is as dignified as a noblewoman in a history book, but once her expression is vivid, there is an indescribable charm and seduction.
At this time, her voice and her movements were extremely tempting, and some of the older children began to breathe rapidly, but the big men who were miscellaneous and thugs next to them were all afraid, and even Long Hai's expression became obviously unnatural.
Qianye suddenly remembered the two partners who failed the exam and were pumped to death by her, and she also felt a chill in her heart.
Next, Zhang Jing explained in detail the principles of Force cultivation and the introductory method of military warfare.
The human body has nine Force nodes, three of which are located in the lower abdomen, chest, and forehead, and the other six are in the hands and feet, as well as the knees. The Force node is both the storage of the Force and the key point at which it is drawn.
Since the entire history of mankind is a history of warfare, the current general division of ability levels has a strong military atmosphere. After igniting the first Force node, you will officially enter the ranks of soldiers and become a first-class soldier. After that, each additional light is considered to be a promotion.
When all nine nodes are ignited, there is a chance to hit the first big bottleneck, and successfully clearing all nodes will form a Force vortex. That is a qualitative breakthrough! Such a person is already a real strong man, with the ability to confront the dark race head-on, and he is the mainstay on the battlefield, and can be called a general.
Since the military technique is the basic technique in the imperial army, the style is also as its name, extremely fierce and domineering. Its biggest feature is that it is fast, as long as the first node is successfully ignited, then the force in the body will surge like a tide, layer by layer, like a tide to hit the Force node.
Compared to the secret methods of other gate lord clans, the Soldier Warrior Decisive entered the realm extremely quickly in the early stage of cultivation, and it was even possible for people to break through the original talent barrier. However, its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the Force Tidal Force is too powerful, and at the same time, it will damage the cultivator's body, and the more you cultivate, the more obvious the damage will be.
It is because no one has ever been able to step into the general level with the skill of military combat alone, and if you want to break through, you must change the technique in the later stage. Because of this, this exercise is called the cannon fodder practice.
But as Zhang Jing said, no matter how high or low the status of the people who will come to practice the art of military warfare, they have their reasons why they have to come, and most of them will not live to the ninth level, what are you doing with that heart?
If there is really an amazing talent to break through the ninth level and become a general, then this kind of person will naturally have unlimited opportunities, and there will be people everywhere who will vigorously recruit him, and there is no need to worry about the resources of the later promotion at all.
In retrospect, in the first year of the training camp, Qianye's group of children were exercising in various ways. Only by being physically strong can we withstand the ferocious and domineering tactics of the war.
From this day on, in the daily class schedule of Qianye, there were two more hours of cultivation time in the afternoon and evening, but the amount of physical exercise and the learning of various knowledge and skills has not decreased at all. After hearing the new arrangement, the faces of these children who had survived the bloody training of the past year were no longer relaxed, and their little faces all collapsed.
In the afternoon, the children were led to a small valley not far from the camp.
In the middle of the valley is a pool of steaming hot springs, with dozens of thick metal pipes inserted into one end and the other end.
These massive metal pipes, more than a meter in diameter, spread like cobwebs across the valley, and in the middle of it stood several ten-meter-tall machines of unknown purpose. The machines had no housing, and the smallest bare/exposed gears were more than a meter in diameter, and were interlocked by dense conveyor belts and metal chains.
Around these machines, rows of metal longhouses are built. The exterior walls of these longhouses are yellow, appear to be covered with copper, and there is no trace of rust.
The children were divided into teams and entered a metal longhouse for every ten people. The longhouse was divided into independent single rooms, which were their cultivation rooms.
The cultivation room was quite small, and the walls were surprisingly thick. Inside, there is a copper fence on the ground, and through the gaps, you can see a dark hole underneath, bottomless.
Qianye entered a small room in order, which was empty, without any furniture, except for a small cabinet wrapped in leather in the corner of the door.
Qianye took off her shirt and trousers and stuffed them into the cupboard. Then he recalled the previous instructor's demonstration, sat cross-legged, and almost immediately, the door was pushed open.
A shirtless, dark-skinned servant walked in, pulled open a bronze door in the wall, lit a small piece of dark wood, and threw it in.
The slaves never said a word, and closed the door as they left.
As a shrill bell rang, the cultivation room shook slightly, and there was a faint roar of machinery. Moments later, a large amount of hot steam poured from the walls and ceiling, quickly filling the entire space.
Suddenly, a wisp of smoke escaped from behind the half-human-high bronze door on the wall, and in the steam that filled the room, you could clearly see the elongated white smoke, which gradually spread, and finally completely mixed with the steam. The room is filled with a strange fragrance.
In such a small space, the humidity suddenly went up, and I was a little stuffy, so Qianye instinctively took a deep breath. Suddenly, I felt refreshed, as if I faintly felt something in the void around me vibrating lively. It is similar but different from the cyan raindrops sprinkled on the body on that crimson moon night.
It's Force vibe!
Qianye was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly calmed his mind, meditating on the mental method of the war technique, and sure enough, something seemed to wake up from the silence in his body. The surrounding void Force became more excited and active, and it was attracted to its body as if it were penetrating through its body.
Two hours passed quickly, and suddenly a Qingyue bell rang in the valley, waking all the children from their slumber.
Qianye slowly opened her eyes, and she was extremely sorry in her heart.
In just this afternoon's effort, a substantial wisp of force had been condensed in his body. Although it was still extremely tiny, it felt like nothing, but it was enough to make Chiya ecstatic. According to the description in the Combat Strategy, being able to reach the Force Condensation on the first day means that he is extremely talented, and he has the hope of cultivating to the level of a high-level soldier above level 7.
The spices inside the bronze door have been burned, and no more aroma has overflowed. Although the room was still filled with steam, Chiya's sense of the Force was gradually dulled and blurred.
The lesson is over.
Suddenly there was a roaring sound of machinery in the room, the walls began to shake, and a strong suction force came from under the ground fence, and the steam in the room disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then, with the creak of gears and hinges, the heavy bronze door of the cultivation room slowly lifted.
Qianye didn't care about his still wet underwear, put on his clothes and walked out of the cultivation room as quickly as he could, ran to the designated venue, and stood in his queue.
Long Hai appeared again, and with a somewhat cunning and cruel smile, he said slowly: "You should all have experienced the benefits of 'Zhu Yan Blood' from the homework just now." You know, such a small piece," he gestured at the length and width of his index finger, grinned, and the upper and lower gold and silver teeth reflected the cold light, "enough to buy more than a dozen lives!"
Qianye knew that the piece of wood was not ordinary, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable.
However, a dozen lives depend on how to calculate, and a child like Qianye who grew up in a garbage dump, a dozen of them may not be worth a silver coin together. Before meeting Lin Xitang, Qianye had only seen copper coins twice in total, one of which was missing a dime, and the silver coin had never been seen.
Long Hai paused, suddenly raised his voice, and roared: "But in the future, you will never have such a good thing again! Starting this week, all training subjects will be scored according to your performance, and they will be assessed after a week! The bottom half of the ranking will not have 'Zhu Yan Blood', and the top half will get double the 'Zhu Yan Blood'." If you can make it to the top 10, then congratulations, you can also get the third piece of 'Zhu Yan Blood'!"
The children's faces all changed, and their eyes became wary when they looked at their companions.
A few glances swept over the thousand nights, and soon looked at the others. Qianye is inconspicuous, and has been at the bottom of the past training.
In this way, the first week passed quickly, and the weekend rankings were seventy-fifth in the land of a thousand nights, which meant that he would be without 'Zhu Yan Blood' for a whole week.
On the night the rankings were announced, Qianye didn't fall asleep.
One by one, he reflected on his various training subjects. Regardless of the ranking for the time being, in the various knowledge courses that Zhang Jing is responsible for, Qianye can always be among the best, but the majority is still a variety of physical training. In these projects, Qianye is almost lagging behind.
Qianye lay quietly on her back, staring at the ceiling above her head, reaching out and gently caressing the huge scar on her chest. The malnutrition that has been living in the garbage dump for many years has been almost adjusted by the food in the training camp, but it is because of this injury that his physique is much weaker than that of a normal child.
Now Qianye already understands what Gu Tuohai said at the beginning, this injury still leaves hidden dangers, whenever he overloads training, there will be a dull pain in the injury, which reduces his patience time and strength. And Qianye can only barely keep up with the pace of training by relying on a much more tenacious will than others, as well as putting in more diligence and sweat.
But now, the new rules are clearly about speeding up the elimination of half of the population. There is a huge gap between the cultivation speed of the 'Zhu Yan Blood', and if it accumulates over time, the gap between the two groups of people in front and behind will only gradually expand.
When Qianye finally fell asleep tiredly, he thought a lot, but he didn't think about giving up. As long as you persevere, you will always see tomorrow and the glimmer of light in the darkness.
Qianye wants to recover his disadvantages little by little, every subject, every point he has to fight for!
This week, Qianye trained desperately, and the ranking has risen, but only improved by one place.
Another week passed, and Qianye successfully crossed the seventy mark and became sixty-nine. However, in the third week, Chiya fell ill due to overtraining, and his ranking slipped to ninety-three.
Perhaps the goddess of fate saw the struggle and hard work of a thousand nights, and from the fourth week onwards, the number of knowledge courses suddenly increased dramatically.
