The next day, Chen Yang woke up at around 5 a.m.
This is in a military camp, not in the outside world. Nowadays, not many people can get up early.
However, the military camp is not a school or workplace. It is impossible to sleep in late in the military camp. People in the military can only wake up earlier than others. It is impossible for them to sleep in late. If he waits until the micro-world ends before leaving, he will definitely be late.
Even though he got up at 5 a.m., he wasn't the first one; the cooks were already at work. The others got up one after another.
The summer solstice has passed for some time, but it still gets light very early; the sun is already peeking over the distant mountains.
"Coach Chen, please come with me. I'll take you to the Hunter Owls' training camp."
After Chen Yang finished breakfast, a young soldier stood waiting for him at the entrance of the canteen and saluted him.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Thank you."
The young soldier, who looked to be only about eighteen, smiled and nodded, then led the way.
However, he walked very fast, and then walked faster and faster.
Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, then followed closely behind.
Chen Yang's steps were rhythmic, with a certain cadence, while the young soldier simply walked briskly.
They walked out of the camp gate and covered at least two kilometers in just ten minutes, a pace almost equivalent to jogging. Neither Chen Yang nor the young soldier showed any signs of fatigue.
The young soldier quickened his pace, but he noticed that Chen Yang was still following behind him methodically. A smile crept onto the young soldier's face; it seemed this new coach was quite capable. Walking was more tiring than running.
"Coach Chen, our training camp is a bit far, so it will be hard for you to walk there for a while," the young soldier said to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang smiled and nodded, without saying anything.
Next, they walked another three miles.
“Young man,” Chen Yang suddenly said.
"What's wrong, Coach Chen?" the young soldier asked, turning around.
Chen Yang pointed to the left and said, "Judging from the circles we've been going in, heading straight in this direction should get us to the training camp very quickly."
The young soldier looked to his left, a look of surprise on his face, before his expression returned to normal.
"Coach Chen, I'll take you the shortest route. Don't worry, we'll be there soon," the young soldier said with a smile.
Chen Yang asked, "You're also a member of the Hunter Owl Team, right?"
The young soldier nodded and said, "Coach Chen is right, I am indeed from the Hunter Owl team, my name is Zhang Zhili, please take care of me."
"Since you're a member of the Hunters team, I'm your coach now. Listen to me, come this way."
"Coach Chen..."
"As a coach, my instructions can be considered orders. In that case, Comrade Zhang Zhili, please obey my orders."
Zhang Zhili hesitated for a moment, then, as if remembering something, smiled, saluted, and said, "Yes, Coach."
After walking to the left for a few minutes, they came to a cliff.
Chen Yang looked at the cliff in front of him, then turned to look at Zhang Zhili.
"Coach Chen, you see, I did take a shortcut."
Chen Yang looked around at the cliff and then said to Zhang Zhili, "The coach's second command is to climb over this cliff."
Zhang Zhili was taken aback, looked up at the cliff in front of him, and said, "Coach, I didn't bring any climbing equipment."
Chen Yang didn't say anything, but started climbing on his own.
He was very fast and quickly climbed six or seven meters.
Zhang Zhili gritted his teeth and followed.
"Follow my path," Chen Yang's voice came from above.
Zhang Zhili didn't want to follow Chen Yang's path, but after looking around, he realized that the path Chen Yang had chosen was the best one. If he wanted to challenge Chen Yang and take another path, the risk would be too great, and he could easily lose his life.
Zhang Zhili felt it wasn't worth taking risks just to compete.
Therefore, he had no choice but to follow in Chen Yang's footsteps.
"Be careful, this rock is a bit loose."
Zhang Zhili subconsciously did as Chen Yang said and carefully began to climb.
"Wait a minute, you said you'd give me a hard time, but isn't this already teaching me a lesson?"
Although he realized something was wrong, he couldn't risk his life and had to keep climbing.
He looked up and gazed at the top of the cliff. There, on the cliff top, was a huge, protruding rock, right in their path.
"Let's see how you climb now," Zhang Zhili thought to himself with secret delight.
If you want to continue along this path, you can't avoid this boulder. The boulder is smooth and there's nowhere to grab onto it. And changing routes is definitely too late.
“When the coach asks me for help, I’ll pretend to be clueless and stall for time before helping him down,” Zhang Zhili said.
“Zhang Zhili,” Chen Yang suddenly said to him.
Zhang Zhili was delighted, pretended not to hear, and prepared to continue climbing.
"Don't climb yet, you can't get through the front. I'll go up and then pull you up."
Zhang Zhili was taken aback. Go up there and then pull him up? How did Chen Yang plan to get up there? Fly up?
He was stunned for a moment, then felt a movement above his head. When he looked up again, Chen Yang was no longer there. Only a few rocks slid down beside him.
Zhang Zhili's expression changed drastically, and he quickly looked down. Had he fallen?
This place is more than ten meters above the ground, equivalent to the height of the third or fourth floor. If someone falls from here, they will be seriously injured even if they don't die.
What they discussed yesterday was just to give the new coach a hard time, not to make him want to fall off a cliff.
If the new coach dies, Zhang Zhili will be absolutely responsible. A court-martial would be the least of his worries; he could face over a decade in prison. Not only him, but the entire Hunter Team would risk disbanding.
He looked down, but Chen Yang was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Zhili was somewhat bewildered. He looked around but couldn't see Chen Yang anywhere.
Did he time travel when he fell off the cliff?
"Zhang Zhili, what are you standing there for?"
Chen Yang's voice came from above. Zhang Zhili quickly looked up and saw Chen Yang's head peeking out from the boulder, looking at him.
"Hurry up and climb up, I'll pull you up," Chen Yang said.
Zhang Zhili breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was even more puzzled.
"How did he even get up there? That's incredibly fast! Did he really grow wings?"
Although he was puzzled, Zhang Zhili was quick on his feet; every second he lingered on the cliff increased the risk. He didn't want Chen Yang to fall to his death, but rather him to die a heroic death.
He climbed down to the base of the boulder, and Chen Yang reached out and grabbed him.
Zhang Zhili sensed that Chen Yang's hands were very strong. Although he didn't look like a powerhouse, his strength was much greater than Zhang Zhili's, and he felt that he was almost as strong as a member of the Hunter Owl team who was good at arm wrestling.
He climbed onto the boulder and dusted himself off.
He initially intended to give the new coach a hard time, but now he admires him somewhat.
"Coach Chen, how did you get up here?" Zhang Zhili couldn't help but ask.
"You didn't see it?" Chen Yang was taken aback.
Zhang Zhili shook his head, and then he saw Chen Yang's smile.
Have you ever heard of the Wudang Cloud Ladder Leap?
