Although this open space in the valley is full of potholes, it is the size of two football fields, and there are various training equipment built long ago on the open space.
When they arrived at the training ground, each person first received a 40-pound sandbag that had to be tied to their body for the next six months, even when eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet.
Everyone took the sandbags and tied them to their bodies as instructed. They raised their arms and legs, frowning and puzzled. They didn't understand why they had to tie 10-pound sandbags to each limb when they were already strong enough. Wouldn't this just drain their energy?
However, even though they don't like these things, they think that as long as they can become official members of the Tornado, they won't have to worry about getting old. Forget about tying 40-jin sandbags, even if they tie 80-jin, as long as they don't get crushed to death or exhausted to death, they will do it!
Once they become official members of Kuangfeng, if they are still allowed to do this, even if they are crushed to death or exhausted to death, it will be worth it as long as their family can get the 500 taels of silver pension.
After tying up the sandbags, Xiao Yimo announced loudly: "The first item of today's training is weighted running... 50 laps." When he read 50 laps, Xiao Yimo paused. He really wanted to know if the young master had written it wrong.
After the announcement, everyone was dumbfounded, including the four secret guards who were quite skilled in martial arts.
Did they hear correctly? 50 laps? Is that something a human can do?
"Everyone, you heard that. Today's first training session is running 50 laps with weights. Since this is your first training session, I won't set a time limit for you. However, I do require you to complete 50 laps without stopping until you finish.
Someone will be assigned to count the laps for each of you. Don't skip any laps, and don't cheat or skimp. If anyone fails to meet the requirements, I will deduct one point from your group's score, which will be included in the monthly assessment. Now, let's get started!"
"Sir, this place is so big, and we have tied up sandbags. If we run around here 50 times, it should be a hundred miles, right?" Kou Zi, who was not assigned to any team and had a good relationship with Murong Xiao, raised the question in everyone's mind.
"I've calculated that 50 laps is about 80 miles. From now on, this 80-mile weighted run will be part of your daily training."
One? Another?!
Everyone looked at Murong Xiao as if he were a monster. Who just thought their young master was so handsome that he looked like a god? He was clearly a demon, okay?
With this kind of training method, everyone was wondering whether they could survive until next month to get the 20 taels of silver.
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Murong smiled and raised an eyebrow. "What? You think you can't do it?"
"Sir... running 80 miles without stopping, and carrying a 40-jin load, is something even the four secret guards can't do. Not to mention these newly recruited members. So... so I think, can we take it step by step?"
Looking at Murong Xiao's serious expression, Kou Zi began to feel that she had talked too much.
However, Murong Xiao didn't mind. He said, "Humans have a strong ability to adapt and endure. Asking you to run 80 miles with a load is training and expanding your limits. Do you all think running 80 miles with a load is impossible?"
Seeing everyone lower their heads, not daring to answer, Murong smiled and nodded, "Okay, since you don't believe me, then I will train with you and show you if you can actually run 80 miles with a 40-pound weight."
