Chapter 50: Technical Assessment

"Xu Sanduo, let's talk. Tell us..."

"Squad Leader, what if I said this is my own training method?" Feng Yuxiu naturally knew what they were going to ask and spoke first.

"Stop joking. I've never heard of such a self-harming method! This kind of self-harming behavior will be heavily monitored in the military. Just because you say it's a training method doesn't mean we can act like nothing happened."

Wu Liuyi stood up very seriously and stared at Feng Yuxiu.

Feng Yuxiu spoke coldly, "This is my training method. It's precisely because of this that I was able to outrun you, Deputy Squad Leader, during the recruit company."

Wu Liuyi choked upon hearing this. He stood up, walked to the dormitory door, and closed it.

The muscles on Shi Jin's face twisted counter-clockwise.

"What kind of training method is this? This is self-harm. Comrade Xu Sanduo, no matter where you learned this method, from now on you must stop immediately!"

"This is the military, not a civilian martial arts school. If the Instructor heard this, do you know what the consequences would be?"

Shi Jin's words made Feng Yuxiu silent.

He knew that no one would believe him if he said it from the start.

The military wouldn't tolerate any method that allowed soldiers to train in a way that was nearly self-harming.

This era didn't allow for such shocking methods.

"I was just joking earlier. I fell by accident," Feng Yuxiu said calmly.

Shi Jin stared seriously into Feng Yuxiu's eyes. "Comrade Xu Sanduo, please tell me that there won't be any more such behavior that harms your body. Please guarantee it!"

Feng Yuxiu looked at his comrades in the Third Squad and nodded slowly. "I guarantee it."

Shi Jin finally revealed a smile.

Thus, this emergency squad meeting came to an abrupt end.

Feng Yuxiu lay on the bed, enduring the severe pain in his hands, staring calmly at the floor.

Sure enough, his thinking was correct.

Being fast was correct. If he had taken it slowly like before.

Or if he had been honest with the Squad Leader from the start.

There would have been no chance for him to completely open up his extraordinary meridians.

This kind of self-harming behavior would inevitably be stopped in the military.

Now, he wouldn't continue to use this shocking method to train.

Once the bones in his hands healed and he combed through and opened up his tendons and blood vessels.

The next part would be simple: practice his strike resistance with his life on the line.

He had to practice the Iron Cloth Shirt to an entry level as soon as possible!

For the next few days, Feng Yuxiu never went out at night again.

He only disappeared from the playground after completing his basic daily training tasks.

But Shi Jin still came over every night to check on him.

This behavior of self-harming training absolutely could not happen again.

He didn't want this soldier to be interviewed by the Instructor because of this.

——

"Don't move, you're disturbing my review." Bai Tiejun looked in astonishment at the Third Squad members who were neatly holding books.

"What's going on? Planning to take the college entrance exam?"

Gan Xiaoning glared at him. "You're a blockhead. Haven't you heard? The regimental-wide technical assessment is about to start. If you don't review, aren't you going to embarrass yourself?"

"Is that so? Tell me, why is the frequency of assessments so high in the past half year?" Bai Tiejun asked leisurely, sitting on a stool.

Gan Xiaoning and the others ignored him, each frowning as they memorized military technical data.

"Hehehe, take a break, no need to be so serious. In previous years, there were only those few questions."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Bai Tiejun stood up and walked out.

But when he walked into the corridor, he found people memorizing military data everywhere.

Even Cheng Cai, who liked to visit other squads, was squatting in a corner with a furrowed brow, memorizing data.

"Just take a look, why is everyone so serious?"

Bai Tiejun felt bored. His eyes rolled, and he revealed a smile. "Hey, I'll go find Third Master."

——

Feng Yuxiu leaned painfully against the wall. Although he was wearing camouflage, the muscles under his clothes had suffered extensive damage, showing purple swelling.

"The Qi rhyme hasn't been opened yet, unable to circulate Qi for strike resistance."

He lowered his head; eight fingers had already been opened halfway.

The rest must be done as soon as possible. Only in this way could he circulate the Qi of his whole body through the acupoints.

"Third Master, you made me look hard for you."

Bai Tiejun touched his way over and revealed a smile.

Feng Yuxiu looked cold. "What for?"

Bai Tiejun chuckled. "I'm bored. Today, they wouldn't even let me do the shoe shining. They're all reading books. Now the whole dormitory is a classroom. I can't stand this atmosphere."

Feng Yuxiu took a deep breath, enduring the severe pain throughout his body, and walked step by step toward the playground.

"Third Master, don't go back. They said the technical assessment was notified, and they're reviewing."

Feng Yuxiu stopped. "You know it all?"

"Heh..." Bai Tiejun curled his lips. "In previous years, it was those same questions. I've memorized them all. What other questions could they come up with?"

Feng Yuxiu frowned. Technical assessment.

This seemed to be his weakness.

"Third Master, where are you going?" Bai Tiejun raised his head and found Feng Yuxiu walking toward the dormitory.

——

"Initial velocity of the No. 6 charge... lifespan of the Type 81 barrel..."

Feng Yuxiu flipped through the book, reading carefully and thoroughly.

Every single one was unfamiliar to him.

The technical assessment was set for next Monday; he had three days left.

During these three days, apart from eating in the canteen, Feng Yuxiu even skipped sleeping time.

He only slept for three hours every day, and for the rest, he memorized technical data almost without rest.

Everyone in the Steel Seventh Company felt an unprecedented pressure.

The frequency of assessments was too fast; this kind of assessment every few days was heavy for them.

Only Bai Tiejun continued to wander around heartlessly.

It's just that no one chatted with him anymore.

"Why is everyone so serious? What if you can't do it?"

——

——

Inside the company office.

Gao Cheng was smoking, and Shi Jin was sitting in front of him, saying nothing.

"He hasn't been self-harming recently?"

Shi Jin nodded. "He said it was his unique training method. I've already talked to him."

Gao Cheng was heavy-hearted. "As a Squad Leader, this year's assessment isn't just about the Third Squad's overall performance, but what about your personal performance?"

Shi Jin revealed a smile, his white teeth showing as he chuckled. "Company Commander, I have no problem."

"Don't be cheeky. You must pass in this continuous assessment and screening. Must! Shi Jin, do you know what 'must' means?"

Shi Jin stood up instantly. "Yes! Company Commander! Must pass the assessment!!!"

"Take this assessment seriously. Not just your Third Squad, including you personally! Go!"

After Shi Jin left.

Gao Cheng smoked eight cigarettes until his throat was hoarse and his eyes were red from the smoke.

Only then did he stand up and walk to the desk, lowering his head to flip through a document notice.

【Detailed list of Squad Leader screening for each company and battalion of the Group Army!】

Bang!

The document was crumpled into a ball by Gao Cheng in anger. His face was terrifyingly gloomy. ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
