Chapter 29 Training
Early in the morning, before everyone had breakfast, a squad leader from the military came and tried to persuade them to join the army.
But Gu Chao did not agree. Joining the army meant having no freedom and was equivalent to being tied to the team, but they still had to return to the imperial capital later.
The squad leader is Yang Lemin. After listening to Lu Shaoyang's report last night, he knew that they had a powerful and skilled master here, so he decided to poach him.
He was not discouraged by being rejected. He asked Lin Cong to help train the people with special abilities in the army.
Lin Cong agreed. He heard that there were several powerful people in the army and wanted to go and have some exchanges with them.
Of course, they had discussed this issue before. The method that Lu Ming had taught Lin Cong and Zhang Rui was just the most common method of releasing superpowers. It was not a secret. Anyone with a little bit of a brain could try it out, so it could be passed on.
Although Lin Cong is usually careless and likes to say silly things, but as a scout, he is definitely a very smart person, bold and loves to try new things. His understanding and application of superpowers have made great progress in recent days, and he has his own set of experience.
Lu Ming thought about it and decided to go with Lin Cong. She remembered that she had promised Han Chong to teach their captain how to use the gold system.
After breakfast, the two came to the command center.
After introducing himself at the door, the soldier on duty's eyes lit up, he looked at him curiously, and then turned around to report.
Soon, Yang Lemin came out to greet them personally and chatted with them as they walked.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, we're running low on ammunition, so we're desperate to get some psychics to help. Otherwise, the journey will be very dangerous in two days. I hope you can do your best so our soldiers can be safer. Of course, it would be even better if you could join our psychic team, Xiao Cong. A true man should serve his country, especially in times of great hardship, don't you agree?"
Lu Ming frowned secretly, why did these words sound weird.
Lin never said yes or no, but replied with a smile, "Captain Yang, you're too polite. We're all compatriots, and I'm happy to do my part. But I'm not afraid to be frank with you. My biggest secret is to practice more and practice more. As for any special training methods, I don't really have any. I'd better let the professionals do more research."
The two of them smiled more sincerely than each other, and Lu Ming, who was listening beside them, seemed to understand what they were saying.
The training ground was originally an open-air sports field in a residential area, with a standard running track on the outside. After being cleaned up and simply arranged, it was divided into two major areas: a shooting range and a sparring range.
There was a group of people running, some people were at the shooting range, and the sparring range was empty.
Lin Cong suggested that they first check their ability level, so Yang Lemin took the two of them into the shooting range. The soldiers passing by stopped to salute him, and he waved to signal them to continue.
Lu Ming saw that some of the people training inside were not wearing military uniforms. They should be people with special abilities recruited from the citizens. There were less than a hundred people in total. Including those who were running outside and those who were out on missions, there were probably more than two hundred people with special abilities in their base, which was a high proportion.
Most of the people in the shooting range are long-range types, with earth type being the most popular, followed by fire and gold, and there is even an ice type. You should know that this kind of variant type was rare in the beginning.
Lin Cong first watched the practice of the fire team and found that their biggest problem was that they could not fully release the energy and could not maintain the shape after releasing it.
For example, some people are unable to throw the fire away and can only start a fire on their hands, like a gas stove; or they can throw the fire away, but at first they throw a fireball, which scatters in mid-air, and sparks fly everywhere, burning the surrounding ground black. The scene is somewhat horrific.
Lu Ming's mouth twitched. He understood why the special forces said his superpowers were useless. Would he dare to use them out there? He was afraid he'd be killed before the zombies.
Lin Cong asked Yang Lemin to gather everyone together, have them sit cross-legged in several rows, then he introduced himself first and finally explained his purpose.
He first described his own experience with unleashing his supernatural powers, "...you must experience it more. Different actions require different ways of unleashing them. Everyone and every supernatural power is different in this regard. Only through extensive practice and actual combat can you find the one that works best for you. Now, I'll demonstrate the moves I currently possess."
He said as he walked to their side, making sure everyone could see his movements clearly.
He just raised his left and right hands and waved them into the distance. Two big fireballs flew out and ignited two nearby wooden rakes with a bang. Then he put his hands together and shouted softly. A line of fire appeared on the ground between the two wooden rakes. Finally, he pressed down with both hands. Soon, the fire was extinguished.
The people behind were stunned, their mouths wide open but unable to make a sound.
Holy crap! That's fucking awesome! Look at the size, endurance, and speed of their fireballs. There's no comparison.
The fire-type psychics were all looked at sideways. Are we all fake fire-types?!
"I suggest you practice releasing and retracting your energy first. This will at least ensure safety during practice. However, I want to remind everyone that superpowers are finite and consumable. Don't think that just because I put out the fire, the energy I released can be replenished. In fact, it has simply dissipated. Therefore, when practicing, pay attention to the upper limit of your superpower reserves and the rate of consumption. Try not to overdraw, otherwise it may be harmful to your body."
He clapped his hands and asked everyone to start practicing. He would talk to the person with the most questions individually.
Lu Ming did not forget his purpose. He looked for people while listening to Lin Cong's lecture.
Lu Shaoyang had finished a round of practice and was concentrating on watching others practice when he suddenly heard a girl calling his name.
He turned around, a little surprised, and hurried to the corner: "Why is classmate Lu here?"
After her "heroic" performance yesterday and those guys praising her marksmanship over and over again, Lu Ming is now a celebrity in their squadron.
Lu Ming smiled slightly, "Han Chong asked me to come here."
"Han Chong? What did he ask you to do?"
Lu Ming did not answer, but asked: "Do you have a knife?"
Lu Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, then he took out the dagger from his thigh and handed it over, "Here."
Lu Ming didn't reach out. "Can you throw a throwing knife? Well... just use the rock in front as a target."
Lu Shaoyang raised his eyebrows. Using a stone as a target?
"You want to learn? I'll teach you after training."
Lu Ming shook his head: "No, just demonstrate it."
Lu Shaoyang was a little confused, but he still did as he was told. He raised his hand and threw the dagger hard, and it was firmly nailed to the stone, which shows his strong arm strength.
Lu Ming picked up the dagger and handed it to him again.
"Have you ever tried to plate a blade with gold energy?"
She gestured around the outside, "Like this."
Lu Shaoyang blinked, glanced at Lu Ming, then looked down at the knife, mobilized his energy, and saw a golden light appear on the blade. Then he used his consciousness to let the light move along the blade.
This action was not easy, especially since it was his first time trying it, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Try throwing it again."
Lu Shaoyang swung the dagger subconsciously, and saw a flash of golden light before his eyes. The dagger sank into the stone, leaving only the handle outside.
He was surprised for a moment, then quickly turned to look at Lu Ming. Before he could speak, he saw her raise her index finger and make a "hush" sound.
Lu Shaoyang swallowed what he was about to say, looked around vaguely, and gave her a grateful smile.
The more aggressive the elemental power, the more violent the energy in the body, the more difficult it is to capture and control, and similarly, the more flexible it will be to use.
The gold element is different from other natural elements, such as water and fire, which have their own forms and only need to be maintained.
The difficulty of the gold system lies in its creation at the beginning - controlling the energy to form different thicknesses, shapes, sizes, etc. requires strong control, otherwise it will be released in a mess with no lethality.
This is also Lu Shaoyang’s current problem. He can retract but cannot attack.
Many gold-type psychics are limited by the moves of other psychics, and think that they also have to throw some out as weapons. However, they don’t know that the most practical thing at the beginning is to attach it to the ready-made weapons to increase the sharpness of the weapons.
Lu Ming knew that a strong man like him, as long as he mastered the skill of using physical objects to assist, would soon be able to discover new moves on his own.
