Chapter 37: The Heartless Pit Master Bai Tiejun

~7 min read 1,336 words

Feng Yuxiu's quality made the people in the Third Squad somewhat shocked.

When first coming into contact with an armored vehicle, just the act of boarding was enough to practice for a long time.

Wu Liuyi curled his body slightly and zipped into the 1.2-meter-wide armored vehicle door.

The overall speed was no more than one second.

Feng Yuxiu followed standard procedure.

Just as Wu Liuyi's butt sat inside the armored vehicle, he saw Feng Yuxiu's face.

His eyebrows raised. "Not bad, not bad."

"Next is the trick to closing the door, come out!"

Feng Yuxiu followed him out.

Wu Liuyi continued the same action, only this time he closed the door smoothly.

The overall time taken was still no more than one second.

The big door was opened from the inside.

Wu Liuyi said with a straight face, "This door is steel, weighing 60 jin. The speed of closing the door must be fast, crisp, and short. I saw with my own eyes a soldier who was just a little slow, and two fingers were directly crushed by the steel door."

Feng Yuxiu stared at the steel door expressionlessly.

Wu Liuyi continued to preach, "Practice this door closing slowly."

Feng Yuxiu's feet began to tremble, his body suddenly bent, and he instantly darted out.

Bang!

Just a loud noise, and the person had already disappeared.

Wu Liuyi was stunned; he didn't see Feng Yuxiu's hand movements at all.

It was as if the door was already closed, and he had passed through the steel door.

To be able to close the door so crisply, what kind of strength was this?

Without years of accumulated exercise, just this one item would be enough to make a recruit's arms numb and soft.

"Squad Leader, what else do I need to pay attention to?" Feng Yuxiu asked in a deep voice, standing in front of Wu Liuyi.

Wu Liuyi frowned.

Just then, Hong Xingguo hurried over. "Wu Liuyi, hurry up and arrange two people to report the targets!"

Wu Liuyi was somewhat confused by Feng Yuxiu's actions, and he didn't want to be stumped by such a recruit.

He had discovered that this soldier learned things extremely fast.

If he stayed with him a little longer, he would have nothing left to teach.

That way, he would have no dignity as a Deputy Squad Leader.

"That... Bai Tiejun, you and Xu Sanduo go to the pit to report the targets!"

Bai Tiejun's face sagged. "Ah? Why is it my pit master again? Wasn't it agreed that recruits report the targets?"

"You also said they are recruits. Where would recruits know how to report targets? Go!" Wu Liuyi widened his eyes.

"Fine, fine. Sanduo, come with me, my life is bitter."

Bai Tiejun took Feng Yuxiu toward the center of the shooting range.

The so-called deep pit was a steel and concrete fortification buried ten meters underground.

Bai Tiejun looked for a piece of chalk on the ground and scribbled on the wall.

Words had already been written on the wall by many people, one of which read: "Heartless Pit Master Bai Tiejun died here."

Below Bai Tiejun, a few more words were added: "Died here again," and then a few more strokes were added to the "Zheng" characters below.

Feng Yuxiu stood in the pit, looking at this scene in confusion. "Is reporting targets reported like this?"

Bai Tiejun added another line below Heartless Pit Master: "Deputy Pit Master Xu Sanduo also died here!"

Bai Tiejun sighed. "Reporting targets is reported like this, every stroke is a record of those bastards above."

Feng Yuxiu walked up and looked at the standard writing. "The writing is not bad, Heartless Pit Master sounds like a master from a Jin Yong story."

Bai Tiejun suddenly widened his eyes and pointed at Feng Yuxiu with fanatical excitement. "Damn!! Damn!! Brother, you are the first one who understands me. What is this? This is not a pit, this is a master's Cliff of Reflection, this is the ancestor's closed-door cultivation dojo!"

"Watch, the moment this master comes out, those petty people outside will definitely shit and piss themselves, their livers and gallbladders splitting!"

Feng Yuxiu laughed somewhat. "Is this the origin of the Heartless Master?"

Bai Tiejun instantly sagged and sighed. "That's what I think in my heart."

He began to introduce the origin of this pit more seriously.

"A pit is this target pit. It can't be called a trench. A trench is for fighting. This thing is for hiding from your own bullets. It can only be called a pit."

"Pit Master, you are the Pit Master if you squat in this pit."

"Heartless means you have no thoughts. You squat in this pit, listening to the head above rumbling, vehicles coming and going, roaring, and it has nothing to do with you."

"You just count the gunshots and cannon fire, and when you're done, you go up to report the targets. You just feel hopeless, which is called heartless."

Feng Yuxiu sat on a high place built with bricks. "It does have some heartless ideas, but why are you always at the bottom?"

Bai Tiejun was somewhat unhappy, lowering his head. "I can't run fast, and my shooting isn't good either. I'm at the bottom in the Third Squad. I almost failed the last all-army assessment. I guess... next training exercise, if I drag us down again, I'm definitely finished."

Feng Yuxiu's gaze was deep. "Physical fitness can be trained, and shooting can also be trained. It just depends on whether you want to risk your life."

Bai Tiejun was stunned. "Ah? Risk my life?"

Feng Yuxiu said coldly, "If you want to stay, I can help you."

Bai Tiejun frowned.

"My home is in the deep mountains and old forests, where vehicles don't go. From my home to the small town, it takes eight hours to walk."

"I am the hope of my family. When I came out, my father told me that being a soldier is the only way out of that big mountain, and told me to mix well."

"But... I really can't mix well. If I'm discharged and go back, thinking of my father's eyes... I..."

Feng Yuxiu was still expressionless, his heart without any ripples.

He had only one belief or philosophy.

In this era, if you didn't risk your life, the living environment you created was your own decadence.

Just like when he broke through to the Hall-Entering stage of external martial arts, in that situation, he either died there or broke through.

The possibility of giving up did not exist.

So, he succeeded.

"I'm willing. You broke two all-army records, you must have your own ideas. I'm willing to let you help me!"

Feng Yuxiu looked at Bai Tiejun's reddened eyes and lowered his head slightly. "I'll only say this once. Train with me, either you die suddenly, or you succeed. There is no second choice. Do you understand?"

That cold and indifferent gaze made Bai Tiejun's whole body numb.

But he had said it, and he was a big man, he couldn't go back on his word.

And he thought in his heart, it was nothing more than running.

What difficulties could there be?

Little did he know, it was this sentence of Bai Tiejun's that made him suffer life-worse-than-death wails later.

That was his nightmare experience years later.

It was also this sentence that changed his original fate.

His "When this master comes out, those petty people will definitely have their livers and gallbladders split" became his reality.

The vibration of artillery fire lasted all morning.

Until the flags were lowered and the drums silenced, the armored vehicles drove away from this barren mountain.

"Everyone come out to eat!"

A loud shout made Bai Tiejun reveal a smile. "Time to eat! Let's go, Sanduo, let's go eat!"

Feng Yuxiu revealed a smile, looking at Bai Tiejun's slightly bloated figure.

It seemed he had found a fun toy. ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
