The military discipline at the border defense station of Daqin was lax, so there was no need for new recruits to stay in the barracks all the time.
In the next few days, Xia He came to the kitchen camp to practice martial arts during the day and returned home on time at night.
It wasn't long before the gap between the recruits widened.
Instructor Zhang came several times later and told everyone that they could go to him if they wanted to ask for advice.
But this thing is charged... It costs fifty cents for one consultation, which is too expensive.
So many people just give up.
At noon, the sun was scorching hot, as if it was going to burn the earth to a crisp.
In the compound, a group of people were gritting their teeth and practicing martial arts.
Although he was wearing clothes, they were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body.
Everyone's face was covered with beads of sweat, which kept rolling down their cheeks.
However, not everyone is so hardworking. In the shade of a tree not far away, several figures are sitting lazily. They are taking advantage of the hot weather to be lazy and cool off in the shade.
Some people even dozed off, snoring softly from time to time.
These people join the army just to get by. They would have no complaints even if they spend their whole lives in the cook camp. They would be satisfied as long as they get paid every month.
At this time, Xia He had just completed a fist stance movement.
He was breathing heavily, and his whole body was wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
But he had no intention of stopping and immediately began to prepare for the next punch.
[Skills: Mastery of Fist Stance (Not yet started)]
[Progress: 55/100]
[Effect: None]
“Huh… not bad!”
After a period of hard practice, Xia He's progress has been rapid.
In just a few days, he had successfully trained the twentieth of the thirty-six fist piles! He had already surpassed most of the new recruits.
Liu Wei, who had been ahead of everyone else, had only reached the 23rd fist stance at this moment.
Seeing that Xia He was about to surpass him, Liu Wei felt unprecedented pressure and looked over here frequently.
"Hehe, Brother He, you are still the best. That damn Liu Wei is about to be surpassed by you!"
"I was mad when I saw him with his nose in the air before!"
Wang Erpang stood beside Xia He and persevered with gritted teeth. After a few days, he actually lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard.
But if it weren't for Xia He's supervision, he would definitely not have been able to hold on.
Liu Wei is a narrow-minded kid. He is definitely not convinced that Xia He is about to surpass him. He comes to work an hour earlier every day and doesn't even have the mood to ridicule others.
So Wang Erpang felt extremely happy.
Xia He had no comment. He glanced at Liu Wei's trembling muscles. Another hour earlier? Aren't you afraid of ruining yourself?
Curly, too curly!
But he was in no mood to care about others.
"call……"
Exhaling deeply, Xia He finished his boxing practice, rubbed his muscles and prepared to take a rest.
Liu Wei, who was not far away, saw Xia He's actions, gritted his teeth and held on for a while before relaxing.
"Xia He...right? You'll practice more when you go back tonight?"
Xia He was drinking the water handed to him by Wang Erpang. When he looked up, he saw Liu Wei standing in front of him with his brows furrowed.
"Yeah, I practice all night long!"
After hearing this, Liu Wei's expression changed and he left the yard without saying a word.
As if he had made up his mind, his steps were firm and heavy.
"Brother He, are you really practicing all night?"
Wang Erpang looked shocked.
"You believe this? Why would I practice martial arts if I don't hold my wife in my arms to sleep at night?"
Xia He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took the scallion pancake handed over by Wang Erpang and said while chewing,
"Er Pang, don't slack off. When the time comes, we'll go and serve as soldiers together."
Wang Erpang has a good physique, but he is too lazy on weekdays and needs someone to watch over him. He has practiced to the tenth boxing stance in the past few days, so Xia He is ready to give him a hand.
"Okay, Brother He!"
"When I become a Wuzu, I wonder if that damn Liu Wei dares to call me a waste again!"
Xia He finished eating the pancake, but still felt hungry.
I finished all the snake meat yesterday. If I can’t continue to replenish it, my progress in practicing martial arts will slow down.
Moreover, the attribute points he had been longing for did not appear, which made him a little disappointed.
If you want to practice martial arts, you must be well fed.
"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to go into the mountains again and see if I can hunt prey."
"Okay, continue practicing after you finish eating! I'll give you a muscle massage later!"
"Still practicing...Okay, brother He."
The expressions on Wang Erpang's face were squeezed together and he sighed.
In the afternoon, Xia He and Wang Erpang were practicing standing meditation, and Liu Wei, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly came back.
He deliberately walked past Xia He and Wang Erpang and glanced at them. The arrogance and confidence on his face returned.
Xia He looked surprised, and Wang Erpang next to him looked even more suspicious.
Liu Wei began to stand in a conspicuous position.
Xia He noticed it keenly.
His breathing rate was different. Not only were his movements much more standard, but the muscle tremors that accompanied his breathing were also greatly reduced.
"Um?"
"Brother He, he must have gone to Instructor Zhang to learn the breathing method. He is really willing to spend that much money... that's fifty taels of silver!"
The military camps were also full of people... How could ordinary soldiers make enough money with just a little salary every month? So there were many more ways to make money.
For example, Instructor Zhang, you have to pay him for advice.
The breathing principle can be combined with the practice of standing meditation, which will make the practice faster and reduce the burden on the body!
