Chapter 22 Tempering 2

"Overtraining, muscle soreness, is there any way to relieve it?" Xu Lingqu asked.

Dr. Li stared at her for a few seconds and sighed: "Forget it, come on."

This time she took out something similar to a plaster, which was made of transparent material and had a wire connected to an instrument. It looked like a lie detector in movies from the Earth era.

"Can't we use that one?" Xu Lingqu pointed to the instrument that Xilek condensed matter.

"Do you think you are a protected animal of the Empire?"

Doctor Li asked Xu Lingqu to lift up his clothes and then "pa pa" applied the massage pad to the area that was severely sore. The instrument on the side started up, and Xu Lingqu suddenly felt as if thousands of small tentacles were sticking to him and massaging his sore muscles.

Xu Lingqu sat aside. Her psychological alertness and physical fatigue soon dissipated bit by bit under the effect of the instruments. The advanced technology in the interstellar age was great. She leaned against the cushion beside her and fell asleep.

Dr. Li looked at the relaxed, half-asleep girl in front of him and adjusted his glasses.

When I first came to the Moye Military Academy for trial training, the senior school doctor told me that I should just sit there and basically no students would come because generally speaking, the intensity of the trial training was not high and no one would get hurt.

Dr. Li certainly thought this was a good job to slack off, but she didn't expect that she would run into the probationary period reform advocated by those two crazy people, Kion and Instructor Chen. On the first day, they gave her a big package of leap fighting and river assault. She also followed suit and was ready for it. Fortunately, she has now been called back to the school for education.

"You are so depressed that you come to apply for military academy." Doctor Li found out Xu Lingqu's physical data. This female student actually had very poor congenital physical condition. The detailed data was not retrieved the first time in the simple medical tent, and he was shocked when he saw it yesterday.

A normal person would be out of breath if they took more than a step, and would cough up blood if they ran for a while. Yet, this female student, despite this condition, had enrolled in military academy. She was said to be fighting one against seven, performing rescue operations, and even commanding. That day, she fell asleep in the infirmary. The injuries weren't limited to her hands; in fact, her entire body was covered in bruises and wounds. Seeing the shocking sight, Dr. Li's heart softened. Even though he knew she was sleepy, not unconscious, he still gave her the Silak Condensate.

Xu Lingqu's incredible performance once made Dr. Li doubt whether there was something wrong with his data. But today, he saw that her physical foundation had consumed her to this extent. It seems that there is nothing wrong with his data, and Dr. Li is relieved.

Looking at the sleeping Xu Lingqu, she couldn't help but stretch herself. As far as she knew, Instructor Chen's schedule for the next week was all physical training, and it would not change until Kaion came back.

Can Xu hold on? Doctor Li raised his eyebrows. I guess many people are thinking about this.

But Xu Lingqu himself did not.

After the instrument treatment, she went back to the dormitory to continue sleeping. The next day, with the sound of the bugle, Instructor Chen drove the off-road vehicle early in the morning and started to let them warm up and prepare for a 30-kilogram cross-country run with a 10-kilogram load. This was today's training volume. Everyone could also carry a small bag with supplies in it.

When Xu Xizhen heard this, she became very worried and wanted to go find Xu Lingqu. With this intensity, she assumed that based on Xu Lingqu's condition yesterday, it would be very difficult for her to finish the run today, so she had to stay by her side.

At this time, Instructor Chen announced the list of yesterday's results - cross-country running is much more dangerous than at the training base, and students must be divided into groups according to their scores, and then corresponding instructors are assigned to drive behind them.

Xu Xizhen was naturally assigned to the first echelon. Instructor Chen divided the members into five groups. When the fifth group's numbers appeared on the intelligent computer, the students looked at each other in bewilderment.

Because there was only one person in the fifth batch, Xu Lingqu.

"Doesn't this mean that the instructor has also tacitly acknowledged that she is the worst?"

"How can you have the nerve to enroll in a military academy after running so little training?"

"Tsk tsk, I dare not say it. If I ask, I will just say that I am from the command department..."

Those who disliked her immediately seized the opportunity to ridicule her. Lin Xiao couldn't stand it any longer and retorted loudly: "So what? Isn't her score still ahead of yours?"

Xu Lingqu was deducted two points yesterday, but still ranks first.

Sun Liao snorted coldly, "If she can't finish it today, she'll have to deduct points. If she does, every day, one day it will become a negative number. Just wait and see."

He turned around triumphantly to see if there was any embarrassment on Xu Lingqu's face, but someone bumped into his shoulder.

Sun Liao was about to explode, but when he turned around and saw that it was Chen Shouli who bumped into him, he immediately turned into a quail, shrank his neck and kept silent. He turned sideways to make way for Chen Shouli, but Chen Shouli stood in front of him and refused to move.

He wiped the place where he bumped into Sun Liao with the handkerchief in his pocket in disgust. He didn't say anything, but just one action made Sun Liao's face turn red and clench his fists.

Of course he knew that Shen Shouli disliked him for being dirty.

Jin came over with a smile and looked at Sun Liao: "Weren't you very loud just now? Why are you silent now?"

His movements were as arrogant as his red hair. Sun Liao didn't know where he came from, but since he was so familiar with Shen Shouli, he definitely couldn't afford to offend him, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Jin felt it was boring and pulled Shen Shouli forward, and stopped beside Xu Xizhen: “Why don’t you go and help your sister.”

Xu Xizhen's face was unusually cold. He pointed expressionlessly at the map on his computer and said, "I'm trying to figure out where I can kick him into the ditch."

"..." Jin's eyes lit up, "Add me in!"

The cross-country race soon began under the organization of the instructors. When it was Xu Lingqu's turn to start, only she and Instructor Chen were left on the training ground.

"You are watching me alone, but you also need to drive an off-road vehicle?" Xu Lingqu looked back at Instructor Chen.

Instructor Chen closed the car door and started the car with his fingerprint. "Well, what else can I do? Do I still have to run with you?"

"I will be seriously unbalanced this way." Xu Lingqu walked out of the training ground, put on the weight on his back, and started running according to the route mapped out by the intelligent computer.

The instructor had scouted this route in advance and some obstacles had been cleared, but it was not easy to run on, especially because there was a section of the road that was within the disaster area where they released river water to flood the tents, making the road extremely slippery and you would fall if you were not careful.

Instructor Chen's off-road vehicle was as smooth as a flat ground. When it encountered such a place, it turned into a suspended aircraft, passed the narrow and slippery road, and then landed and turned into a car.

"Aren't you tired of switching back and forth?" Xu Lingqu complained.

"Not as tired as you." Instructor Chen countered, looking at the training tracks of everyone on the intelligent computer. "We are now far behind. Because of you, I am now the last among the instructors."

"So sometimes choice is more important than hard work." Xu Lingqu was not at all moved by the provocation and instead slowed down his pace.

She still has the confidence to complete this training. Although she doesn't know where the confidence comes from, it's there.
