"Brother, why do you look at Tieheng with such a...unique gaze?"

Lu Tu laughed loudly, making no attempt to conceal his desire for talent. Pointing at Tie Hang, he said, "They all say you've gotten fat from eating too much. Take off your clothes and let them see!"

When Tie Hang heard the first part of the sentence, he wanted to explain to Lü Tu that he hadn't eaten too much. But when he heard that Lü Tu understood him so well and was even on his side, he replied repeatedly, "Okay."

Then he ripped off his shirt and threw it on the head of the soldier next to him. The soldier suddenly felt that it was dark. After a lot of effort, he finally managed to lift the shirt off Tie Hang, which was bigger than a bed sheet, and then he saw Tie Hang's broad and thick back, which was as thick as a city wall.

At this moment, Nie Yun also opened his mouth in surprise, looking incredulously at Tie Hang's seemingly fat but actually solid muscles.

According to Lü Tu's estimation, Tie Hang was about 2.1 meters tall and weighed about 300 jin (150 catties). This is only considering that he ate very little meat and only coarse grains every day. He was able to train to this height, which shows how talented he was.

Lu Tu Chong Tie Hang raised his head: "What weapons do you know? A knife or a spear?"

Tie Hang scratched his head sheepishly: "I don't know how to do any of them, they're all too light."

Lu Tu became interested: "So what do you usually use?"

"I haven't gone into battle yet, but I've made a tool myself. Please wait a moment, sir, and I'll bring it to you."

Seeing his strange behavior, the crowd became even more curious and wanted to see what weapon this big guy was using.

Before long, Tie Hang shouted in a deep voice, "Sir, I can use this!"

Lu Tu, who was drinking water, spat it out when he saw the weapon in Tie Hang's hand.

The rammed iron rods came from who-knows-where, with two irregular lumps of scrap iron at the ends. If I'm not mistaken, they were probably scrap iron mixed with other impurities that he got from Hu Delu. They looked extremely strange.

He jogged over, clutching the two strange weapons, and grinned foolishly at Lü Tu: "Sir, these feel great, I enjoy using them!"

Nie Yun asked in surprise, "How much does this thing weigh?"

"I didn't weigh it, but don't worry, sir, I bought all of this from Blacksmith Hu with grain. It's definitely not stolen!"

Lu Tu found it amusing; this iron-clad man was tall and imposing, but he turned out to be an honest man.

"Who suspects you of stealing? Put those two iron lumps down first, and let Nie Yun try to see how heavy they are!"

"Yes, sir!" Nie Yun nimbly dismounted. He was usually very hardworking in his training and was quite confident in his strength.

As they passed Tie Hang, he kindly reminded him, "Squad Leader Nie, be careful not to strain your back."

Nie Yun immediately became unhappy upon hearing this: "You carried this thing all the way here, and you expect me not to hurt my back?"

Upon hearing this, the people around burst into laughter, which also aroused Nie Yun's competitive spirit. Sometimes, that's how it is between men; a simple "you're not good enough" can instantly escalate a conflict.

Lu Tu saw this but didn't intend to interfere. It's normal to have a competitive spirit. What's the point of fighting if the soldiers don't want to win?

Nie Yun looked up at Tie Hang with a huff: "You're way too arrogant!"

Tie Hang scratched his head like a silly fool, showing none of the fierceness he had shown in front of the Kunlun slaves: "Squad leader, I'm really reminding you, last time Xiao Hei tried to lift it, he lay in the shed for several days."

"I refuse to believe this nonsense!"

He imitated the action of the jackhammer, grabbed the short iron bar with one hand, and used half his strength to lift it upwards, but it didn't budge!

"Huh?"

A wave of curiosity swept through the crowd, making Nie Yun blush with embarrassment. He quickly suppressed his disdain, focused all his strength on his left hand, and finally managed to lift the massive iron hammer.

His body immediately tilted to one side, and the iron ram, like a caring little brother, took the initiative to lift the other iron hammer in front of Nie Yun: "Squad leader, don't just lift one, you'll really hurt your back like that!"

Although Nie Yun could lift it, his body was severely tilted. When he saw Tie Hang handing him another iron hammer, he thought Tie Hang wanted to make a fool of himself. But seeing Tie Hang's simple and honest expression, Nie Yun could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, forcing himself to take it.

But when he held the hammer in both hands, his body was no longer crooked. However, when he tried to lift the hammer and swing it like a rammer, he found it very difficult.

Nie Yun's face turned bright red, the veins on his arms bulged, and his teeth were clenched tightly.

Seeing this, Lü Tu advised, "Alright, Nie Yun, put it down!"

"I...I can still..."

"Let it go! There's no need to show off in this!"

Clang! With Lu Tu's reprimand, Nie Yun finally loosened the two large iron hammers, making a dull sound.

At this moment, Nie Yun's hands were still trembling uncontrollably, so he could only quickly put his hands behind his back.

Tie Hang stepped forward and asked with concern, "Squad leader, are you alright? As long as you didn't hurt your back, that's good."

Nie Yun felt a chill run down his spine. If Tie Hang hadn't looked so honest and simple, he would have thought the other person was deliberately mocking him.

He snorted through his nose and said, "Iron Hammer, you're something else!"

Everyone laughed with relief upon hearing this. It's that simple between men too. That "You're amazing" really means they're convinced.

Sun Kuang laughed the most heartily: "Nie Yun, are you shivering because you're cold? As your older brother, I should give you my clothes to wear."

Nie Yun retorted defiantly to Sun Kuang, "If you're so capable, then you try lifting it!"

Sun Kuang chuckled and said, "I'm not coming. I don't have Brother Tie Hang's strength."

Seeing that things had gone well enough, Lü Tu laughed and said, "Alright, everyone has their own expertise. Nie Yun, you take a break, I'll give it a try."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, even Nie Yun exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, don't try it! Only this iron rammer can be used; it weighs at least 100 jin on one side!"

One side weighs 100 jin? Two of them would weigh 200 jin? This iron rammer can not only be lifted, but it can also be used as a weapon!

The grip strength and core strength required are terrifying to Lu Tuguang!

Everyone knows that Lü Tu is the backbone of the group. Last time, he fell ill, and a refugee rebellion broke out outside the village. If Lü Tu were to be injured anywhere, no one but him could control the complicated situation.

Lu Tu nodded to the others and said, "It's alright, I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, Lü Tu took the lead in assuming a horse stance, focused his energy in his dantian, and gripped the two iron rods. Then, with a loud shout, he lifted the two large iron hammers.

"It's definitely heavy!"

"Well done! Sir, you are indeed brave and skilled!" A chorus of cheers erupted from the surrounding area.

Lu Tu tried to swing them, but found that he couldn't swing them properly with just his arm strength. He could only use his waist strength and inertia. With that thought, Lu Tu gave up and threw the two iron hammers on the ground.

He looked at Tie Hang with admiration and said, "Good lad, you really have some strength. Want to join me in battle?"

"I've already gone to the battlefield with the adults, I don't want to be with these black devils every day!"

Lu Tu laughed loudly, "Since that's the case, then take these black devils back, and I'll arrange a good job for you!"
