The Orcs captured Tower Hill Fortress as a wake-up call to humanity that they could no longer be as passive on the defensive as they had in the past. Relying on the fortress, their advantage is no longer so obvious. If we don't react, I'm afraid that the next attack by the orc army will cause even greater losses.

While strengthening the defense of the fortress, the Generalissimo of the Empire, Wang Hucheng, has issued a new military order, all armies are conducting military drills, and they must improve their combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time and be ready to respond to the attack of the beasts at any time.

As a place for the empire to train military talents, the five major military academies cannot be left untouched. The fourth-year cadets will be dispersed to various fortresses for study and internships, mainly to increase their combat experience and prepare for entering the army after graduation. After all, war can come at any time, and it's always good to have more experienced junior generals and junior commanders.

A number of new instructors have arrived at the Bokan Military Academy, who have been assigned to various classes to teach students practical combat experience. Liu Yu's command department also had one such instructor.

The instructor was about 1.75 meters tall, with a thin build, wearing a major-level armor, with a straight waist, and walked into the classroom of the second grade of the command department with meticulous steps. Glancing around at the students sitting under the podium, he said in a loud voice: "Fellow students, I am Wei Zifu from the 12th Regiment of the 10th Division of the Fourth Infantry Army of Fancheng Fortress, serving as the commander of the 7th Battalion of the 12th Regiment, with the rank of major. In the coming year, I will be responsible for training you, you have to be mentally prepared, if you can't adapt to my training methods, you can go home, the army of the empire doesn't need incompetent people, do you understand?"

"Understood. The voices of the second-year students in the first class were unanimous.

"Haven't you all eaten? Who can hear such a small voice!" Wei Zifu yelled.

"Yes, Instructor! ! " shouted the cadets this time with all their strength.

"Well, this still looks like a soldier. I'll give you five minutes to change your outfits and do a 20-kilometer cross-country training. ”

As a class of students, no one complained, and all of them came to the equipment room as quickly as possible, changed the full set of equipment within five minutes, and gathered on the school floor to wait for the next instruction of the health instructor.

Wei Zifu, who was standing on the school field with the timer, did not have a trace of expression on his face, looking at the group of students lined up in a neat queue, Wei Zifu said: "Very good, they are all able to keep the time, which I am very satisfied with." Departure! Changqing River outside Bokan City. ”

Fifty-one students, led by Wei Zifu, lined up in two columns and ran towards the Changqing River outside Bokan City.

Less than two kilometers south of Bokan City is the largest river in the Dragon Empire, the Evergreen River. The Evergreen River runs through the entire Dragon Empire, stretching for more than 5,000 kilometers from west to east. It originates from the Gradan Winter Snow Mountain in the northwest of Boban Province, flows through Boban Province in the northwest, Qilong Province in the center, Tuman Province in the northeast and Tuku Province in the southeast, and finally joins the sea from the south of Mengliang Fortress.

Stopping on the north bank of the Changqing River, Wei Zifu said: "Although you are all cadets of the command department, having a strong physique will make it easier for you to survive in a brutal war, so I must first train your body to meet the needs of the war, so that you will not die in vain." Look at the equipment you are wearing, where is this equipment for a worthy warrior? Do you use such equipment to fight the orcs?"

"But instructor, this is the equipment that the academy has given us. One of the students whispered.

"I know that, so I've applied for you a regular Imperial warrior suit, which will be distributed to you in three days. In order to let you get used to it in advance, I have prepared 26 logs here, and in pairs, carry one log on foot. ”

Only then did the students notice that behind Wei Zifu, there was a pile of logs with a diameter of fifty centimeters and a length of three meters. Looking at this thick log, all the students couldn't help but gasp, such a log is enough to weigh seven or eight hundred pounds, right? Carrying it for cross-country training and running 20 kilometers is not a good way to live!

"This is a standard training log, each weighing 700 catties, with an error of no more than 2 percent. Over the course of the next year, these logs will accompany you in your training. There are fifty-one of you, and one of you will have to carry a log on his own, and which of you will want to be this man?"

There was silence among the trainees, and no one wanted to carry such a log alone for training, which was too heavy for them.

Seeing that no one dared to stand up, Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Just let me try." ”

Someone finally stepped up, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Bo, who was standing next to Liu Yu, secretly gave Liu Yu a thumbs up, lowered his voice and said, "Boss, you are still powerful." ”

"Okay, let's go. The first ten kilometers were marched in the Changqing River, and the last ten kilometers returned to Bokan City from the hills. After speaking, Wei Zifu stood on the bank of the river and supervised the students to practice.

Looking at the rushing evergreen river, the faces of the students became even more ugly.

Carrying the log into the Changqing River, the river water was up to the waist, and the soft riverbed was thick with silt, and when one foot stepped on, the whole calf sank in, and the weight on the body made it take a huge amount of physical strength to pull out every time they pulled out their feet. Walking forward against the current, the river constantly impacted their bodies, staggering them, and if they were not careful, they would fall into the water. When the logs are soaked in water, they become heavier.

Liu Yu walked at the back of the line, after all, he was carrying a log alone. The weight of seven hundred catties is not something that ordinary people can bear, even if Liu Yu has learned the exercises, he can only move forward slowly step by step.

Wei Zifu kept shouting at the students on the riverbank: "Hurry up, you waste, you go so slowly, how can you march and fight in the future!"

"Don't think that just because you're a commander you can be lazy, you don't need a strong body. The soldiers are looking at you, what you are, they are what they are!"

"Straighten your back!"

"Don't stop, keep up!"

Liu Yu walked forward with difficulty, and the river that was not up to his waist kept washing his body. The log he was carrying on his shoulders was so heavy that it took him a lot of physical strength just to maintain his balance. The Yi Jin Sutra exercises in the body were running rapidly, and the true qi reached the limbs and hundreds of bones. If it weren't for the deep enough cultivation skills, he really wouldn't dare to challenge this log alone.

The Changqing River flows very fast, which makes Liu Yu face greater resistance in his advance. Liu Yu even suspected that if he hadn't carried this log, he might have been washed away by the river, right? The mud under his feet was more like a pair of powerful hands, dragging Liu Yu's feet and making him walk forward with great effort. At this time, Liu Yu had the feeling of returning to the snow-capped mountains of the Malayas and climbing up in the snow.

The classmates in front of him had already walked five hundred meters more than him, and he could only see black shadows shaking in front of him. I don't know how they feel now? If you don't die after walking for 20 kilometers, you have to peel off your skin? Liu Yu secretly wondered in his heart, how could he still have the heart to worry about others at this time? Let's take care of myself first!

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yu continued to walk forward. He told himself that he must not stop, and as soon as he stopped, he would never be able to walk again. Walking forward step by step, five kilometers have passed, Liu Yu feels that his legs are like being filled with copper, and the log on his shoulders seems to weigh more than a thousand pounds. It seems that with every step he takes, he has the possibility of exhaustion.

After the body reached its limit, Liu Yu found that the Yijin Jing Gong in his body was running faster, and the true qi was moving faster and faster in the meridians, and gradually there was an uncontrollable trend. This is a sign that he is going to go mad! Liu Yu's heart couldn't help but feel a little impatient, what should I do? Once I go mad, even Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save myself, will I just be finished? For the sake of the courage of the moment, I put my surname and life into it.

Just when Liu Yu's consciousness began to become blurred, he suddenly found that the burden on his body disappeared all of a sudden, and he was unspeakably comfortable. The true qi in the body also returned to its original speed, and it was no longer running around frantically.

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Liu Yu realized that the new Wei instructor didn't know when he had come behind him, supporting himself with one hand and holding the seven-hundred-pound log with the other. When his breathing stabilized, Liu Yu said gratefully: "Instructor Wei, thank you for saving me." ”

"Don't thank me, I didn't expect you to last so long. Wei Zifu patted Liu Yu on the shoulder, "Don't say more, hurry up and run the exercises, the effect of cultivation will be better at this time." ”

Without saying anything more, Liu Yu stood in the Changqing River, silently running the exercises. About ten minutes later, Liu Yu opened his eyes and bowed to Wei Zifu: "Thank you, Instructor Wei, for cultivating." ”

"You are so young, you already have such profound skills, I am really impressed. Remember, practice is not something that happens overnight, and only with perseverance can you achieve something. Wei Zifu said as he gently put the log on Liu Yu's shoulder, "If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, don't be impetuous when practicing, you must make steady progress, so as not to go crazy." Between stability and progress, it is up to you to grasp it. ”

Putting the log on his shoulders again, Liu Yu said respectfully: "Instructor Xie Wei instructed, I will grasp the proportions, and I will continue to train." ”

After the adjustment just now, Liu Yu's body has recovered most of it, and he doesn't feel that it is so difficult to carry the log. This time, he was no longer in a hurry to move forward, but determined the speed at which he was moving forward according to the speed of the exercises. Although he still didn't catch up with the students in front of him, his speed did not slow down when he was moving through the water, and he kept it at a reasonable level.

Another thirty minutes have passed, and the other students have reached the end, and only Liu Yu is still moving forward step by step in the Changqing River. Looking at this tenacious and unyielding young man, Wei Zifu's face also showed a rare trace of appreciation. Ordered all the students to practice the exercises on the spot and wait for Liu Yu's arrival.
