At night, the night sky is full of stars, and the bright starlight is sprinkled on the earth, adding a soft quiet.

During the day, the desert where the wind and sand roar and blew people's cheeks hurt, and at night, the wind and sand disappeared, and the desert at this time was also a little more beautiful.

Under the night sky, in a corner of the barracks, Xiao Yunhe's lonely figure stood quietly.

It was late at night, and everyone else in the barracks had already fallen asleep. Under the sporadic torches, only the sentries on duty are still stubbornly clinging.

After a full day of bed rest, Xiao Yunhe's body has been well restored. When everyone else had already fallen asleep, he couldn't sleep after sleeping all day during the day.

At this time, looking at the night sky outside is very beautiful, he simply walked out and found this unnoticeable corner now, looking at the stars shining in the night sky alone, and thinking about his own thoughts in a daze.

The soreness in his body is still there, and the overtired muscles are not so easy to recover, although Xiao Yunhe's physical condition is better than that of ordinary people, but it will take two or three days to fully recover.

This is nothing, at least for Xiao Yunhe.

From childhood to adulthood, he has spent more than ten years in pain. Basically, 90% of the time, his body is covered with large and small scars, and new ones are added before the old ones are gone.

Maybe Xiao Yunhe's cultivation is not top-notch, but in terms of the ability to endure pain, it is definitely difficult to find an opponent.

This muscle soreness is nothing compared to the sharp pain of broken bones and tendons before.

The pain on his body is not something he thinks about now. Even the ruthless Shan Zhen who acted during the day, Xiao Yunhe did not have any grudges.

Although he always felt that Shan Zhen's attitude towards him was strange, he could still feel that he had no ill will towards him.

As Lusan said, everyone here has had such an experience, even Shan Zhen is no exception. As a new recruit, he is just a little more reckless than others, and it is nothing to suffer a little.

What he was thinking about now was something else.

After Lu San left, several soldiers who had never known each other entered Xiao Yunhe's barracks one after another.

They all admired Xiao Yunhe very much, although Xiao Yunhe didn't know them, but after a few words of conversation, Xiao Yunhe was also infected by their enthusiasm, and everyone knew each other.

Among these soldiers, Xiao Yunhe felt a kind of sincerity that was different from anyone before.

Most of them are children of local peasant families in northern Xinjiang, and they are all illiterate, and they are completely different from those in the Xu family where Xiao Yunhe used to be.

Any foul language and swear words are all casually spoken, if it were put in the past, Xiao Yunhe would definitely avoid these people.

But now, listening to their chattering and chattering, Xiao Yunhe felt an inexplicable cordiality.

They don't have any advanced cultivation, they don't have any high-level backgrounds, they don't have any elegant conversation, but in their bodies, in their eyes, Xiao Yunhe sees things that can't be seen in those high-sounding people outside...... Sincerity.

Every word, laughing or scolding, their words may have a lot of nonsense, and they may not have any profound insights, but Xiao Yunhe can feel that every word they say is from the bottom of their hearts, and there is no half-truth.

They didn't come here to get any benefit from themselves. The relationship between himself and Yu Wenxuan is now only known to Shan Zhen, and he is even more iron-faced and selfless to himself than Bao Gong.

These people came here to see them only for one reason, and that was to win respect for themselves by their stubborn behavior in the morning.

It's such a simple reason, there are not so many messy interests to speculate.

Simple and pure, Xiao Yunhe gradually has more expectations for such a military career.

And what bothered him now was the words that the soldiers who had just met secretly told him at the end.

That is, someone has seen with their own eyes, Shan Zhen, once carried six pieces of wood by himself, and ran all the way down six laps.

This is nothing, the problem is that he ran to the end, threw down the wood, Shan Zhen's face was not red and he was not panting, he actually got on the horse and galloped out, and galloped outside for most of the day before coming back.

How is this possible?

Xiao Yunhe actually has a strong confidence in his body, and with the growth of experience, Xiao Yunhe admires more and more the regency technique that Su Liusha passed on to him.

There is no powerful killing move in the Regency Technique, and when passing on the Gong, Su Liusha clearly told Xiao Yunhe that the purpose of the Regency Technique is not to kill people, but to refine the body, and to realize the Great Dao with the help of the cultivation of his body.

Avenue or something, Xiao Yunhe didn't feel it at all. But his body is indeed getting stronger and stronger.

The knife can't be chopped, the axe can't be hurt, in the bloody battle between the Xu family compound and the six strong people, Xiao Yunhe fully demonstrated the vajra body of the achievement of the regency technique.

Although more of it relied on the potency of the few drops of elixir obtained from Emperor Wu's secret collection, without the guidance of the Regency Technique, Xiao Yunhe would definitely not be able to exert it to that kind of anti-heaven level Cheng Dù.

Invulnerability is only a manifestation of the Regency technique, and in ordinary training, although the Regency technique cannot play a direct role in the on-the-spot competition, it is actually playing a subtle role in the step-by-step improvement of one's body.

The body's perception, speed, strength, reaction speed, sensitivity, basically every organ has been strengthened by the Regency technique.

Not to mention anything else, if Xiao Yunhe hadn't experienced the regency technique strengthened his body during that run this morning, he was afraid that it would be very difficult to run a lap.

He didn't think anyone would have a stronger body than himself.

After all, in this world, all martial artists are just crazy about increasing their Yuan Power and honing their martial arts, and they don't pay so much attention to the cultivation of their bodies.

After running two laps, he was already in shock, that Shan Zhen was older than himself, and his figure was a little fat, how could he complete a task that was more difficult than himself, but nothing happened?

Xiao Yunhe couldn't figure it out, now under the night sky, what Xiao Yunhe was thinking about was such a question.

The soldiers in the barracks admired Xiao Yunhe, a newcomer who had completed an incredible task. But Xiao Yunhe himself was not satisfied with his results.

Although he finished it, he finally fell to the ground weakly.

He was very dissatisfied, especially after learning about Shan Zhen's amazing deeds, Xiao Yunhe became quite dissatisfied.

He can do it, so why should I be inferior to him?

Xiao Yunhe knew that Shan Zhen's cultivation was definitely more than one grade higher than his own, but this running had nothing to do with martial arts, could he still breathe fire to help him run?

This is a little strange, just by virtue of the physical element, how can I not be worse than Shan Zhen who is over 30 years old, right?

The more Xiao Yunhe thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and in confusion, he simply walked to the place where he was running during the day.

The stars in the night sky were shining, and under the hazy starlight, there were still neat bunches of logs on the ground.

Xiao Yunhe bent down and reached out to pick up a log from the ground.

It was heavy to start, and Xiao Yunhe roughly estimated that it weighed at least more than a hundred catties.

It's the same feeling as in the morning, and the logs here are slightly different, but in general, they are basically in the same range.

Xiao Yunhe hugged the log and thought about it, and then rested the log on his shoulder.

Then he picked up another log from the ground and stacked it on his shoulder.

The two logs pressed on Xiao Yunhe's shoulders, making him remember the heaviness vividly, and Xiao Yunhe returned to the scene in the morning.

"Come on!" he whispered to himself, Xiao Yunhe fixed the two logs and began to run on the track again.

Running to a quarter of the runway, Xiao Yunhe slowly stopped again.

"That's not right...... No......" Xiao Yunhe shook his head and muttered to himself.

Just after running a quarter, the sweat on Xiao Yunhe's body has already come out.

The clothes all over his body were soaked again, and Xiao Yunhe's chest began to rise and fall violently, his breathing became rapid, his face turned red, and he gasped for breath.

This is the same situation as in the morning, if he continues to run, Xiao Yunhe will be like in the morning, and he will go into shock at the end of the race.

This is not good at all, even if you practice for a long time, it is impossible to improve too much.

If you are still like this, how did you do it?

Xiao Yunhe rested in place for a while, and when his breathing stabilized a little, he began to run forward again.

This time was different from before, Xiao Yunhe ran and stopped, frowning and talking to himself, not knowing what he was thinking.

As soon as he ran out more than 200 meters, the wood on Xiao Yunhe's shoulder suddenly made a "bang", and then a dazzling spark appeared.

Xiao Yunhe was taken aback, and hurriedly threw the two logs on the ground, and with a gesture of both hands, the flame that had just come out disappeared silently.

"That's it...... It doesn't work at all......" Xiao Yunhe looked at the blackened wood, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It turned out that just now he tried to use the fire element in his body to help him run, but after trying for a long time, he never let these active yuan forces help him relieve the slightest bit of fatigue.

One was careless, and he didn't control it, and Huo Yuan scurried around, but he led the wood.

Yuan Li only runs in the meridians, which is acquired by cultivation, and it is completely two systems with one's own muscles and blood. No matter how abundant the Yuan Force in his body is, he can't replenish his body at all.

Yuan Li can't be used at all, but in addition to Yuan Li, what else can help the body improve endurance?

Xiao Yunhe really couldn't think of anything else that could be used besides the cultivation of martial arts.

Under the cover of night, Xiao Yunhe's face became more and more wrinkled, and it turned into a bitter gourd face.

Xiao Yunhe, who was in distress, didn't notice that there was a quiet figure next to him.

"What are you thinking?" a voice asked faintly.

"Thinking about ......" Xiao Yunhe opened his mouth to answer, as soon as he opened his mouth, his vigilance suddenly rose, he spun in place, and looked at the other party with full vigilance, but he regained his relaxed state in an instant.

He saw it, it was a single one.

At this time, he didn't get drunk in the tent, why did he come here?

I have a problem that I can't understand, so I ran here in a daze at such a late hour. But how can this thick-lined, single-handed, seem to be preoccupied?

It's one thing to not understand in his heart, Xiao Yunhe still lowered his head and said respectfully: "General Shan!"

Shan Zhen nodded and repeated the first question: "What are you thinking?"

"No, I didn't think about anything!" Xiao Yunhe shook his head and denied it, although the hero of the incident was in front of him, he didn't want to investigate it in person.

This may involve personal privacy, after all, the two are just new acquaintances, and they are Xiao Yunhe's top boss, Xiao Yunhe doesn't want to commit any taboos because of a sentence.

"You must be very unconvinced by this morning's incident, right?" Xiao Yunhe's words Shan Zhen didn't believe it, he smiled and asked.

"Nope. General Shan is impartial, and if he makes a mistake, he should be punished, this is a matter of course, where can he talk about anything unconvinced?" Xiao Yunhe had no resentment in his heart, he had always been like this for things that were reasonable and well-founded.

"Do you still say no? now, they're starting to break up with me!" Shan Zhen sighed, the frolicking and uninhibited during the day could no longer be found on his face at this time.

"No...... I just think...... In the barracks...... It's better to be strict......" Xiao Yunhe lowered his head and explained, but in his heart, he also understood that he and Shan Zhen were indeed a little different.

Although it is justified, how can people not be affected by emotions at all?

At that time, Shan Zhen's indifferent tone and ruthless eyes are still fresh in Xiao Yunhe's memory.

It's true that there is no resentment, but in my heart, there is always a little bit of discomfort.

"I don't blame you, at the beginning, I was the same as you, I can understand your current mood. Shan Zhen walked over and patted Xiao Yunhe's shoulder, and there was a generous warmth that penetrated through his palm.

Xiao Yunhe thought that he was looking at himself and thinking of the situation when he was a recruit, and asked tentatively: "At the beginning, the general was also punished like this?"

"Call me Brother Shan!" Shan Zhen said dissatisfiedly, and this voice regained the rough voice of the ruffian general before.

"Yes, Big Brother Shan!" Xiao Yunhe is as good as a stream.

"Hey, who hasn't fainted on this runway in our barracks? Every recruit has to go through this way on the first day he comes. Not to mention anything else, it's that Lusang, on the first day, not only fainted, and for several days after that, he kept throwing up, eating and vomiting like a girl, if it weren't for him carrying a handful, Lao Tzu would have wondered if he was a pregnant girl!" As soon as he talked about the events of the year, Shan Zhen foamed at the mouth, and his mouth full of slang and foul language followed.

Xiao Yunhe smiled awkwardly, but he didn't expect that Lu Sang, who had a gentle and kind face, would have such an unbearable past.

"I heard that the general ......" Xiao Yunhe carefully observed Shan Zhen's expression, and only after finding that he was okay did he ask slowly, "...... Looks like a good grade......"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Shan Zhen glanced down at Xiao Yunhe, his eyes seemed to be smiling.

"Which rabbit cub chewed your tongue with you? How much do you know about Lao Tzu's troubles back then?"

"No, no, what I heard was the glorious side of Big Brother Shan!" Xiao Yunhe flatly denied it, he didn't dare to say that Shan Yi had drunk and danced bare-butt dance "brilliantly" back then.

"Hey, you're not very old, you're smooth, and you say it so nicely, do you think I don't know what those bastard boys are?" Shan Zhen scoffed at Xiao Yunhe's flattery, "They must have shaken all my troubles to you, just them, how can they save any face for Lao Tzu?"

"This ...... How could it be...... How could it be......" Xiao Yunhe could only laugh dryly.

"What you really want to ask, isn't this?" Shan Yi's unorthodox eyes locked on Xiao Yunhe, but there was a hidden shrewdness in it, "What you really want to ask, I'm afraid it's me, how did you finish those seven laps?"

"How do you know?" Xiao Yunhe took a step back in shock.

This was what he really thought in his heart, but he had never told anyone at all, how did this Shan Zhen guess it? Could he be able to read minds?

"I've been here since you first started running. I think, if you weren't for this, you wouldn't still be holding these two rotten wooden hairs, would you?" Shan Zhen sighed, his eyes falling on the two logs at Xiao Yunhe's feet.

Xiao Yunhe reflexively blocked his body on the wood, and there were black fire marks on it, but it was still there.

"Don't hide, I've seen everything. Shan Zhen shook his head, with a hint of amusement in his expression, "What, you haven't had enough fun during the day?

"This ......" Xiao Yunhe rubbed his hands together on his chest, really not knowing how to answer this question.

This is purely the fault of my own curiosity and stubbornness, I just fainted here during the day, and at night I don't know whether I am alive or dead and running to try again. This qiē is seen by Shan Zhen, he must see himself as a masochistic madman, right?

"You don't have to be embarrassed, back then, I was actually just like you. I fainted here in the morning, and in the evening, I stood where you are standing now, clutching those two wooden hairs. Shan Zhen looked at the two logs under Xiao Yunhe's feet steadily, and his words were amazing.

"What?" Xiao Yunhe looked at Shan Zhen's calm expression, knowing that he was not joking.

It's not strange to be punished like yourself, but with the same curiosity as yourself and running here and running, Shan Zhen is also as crazy as himself?
