Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 996 - 63: You Finally Remembered the Skills?
Elementary school students have no concept of numbers, thinking a hundred kilometers is just one word more than a hundred meters.
Adults all know, if someone in the unit doesn’t like you, they’ll assign you a five-thousand-meter long run in the sports meet, and you’ll end up peeing blood when you get back.
If another unit had to do a hundred-kilometer armed march, they’d pretty much disband and never regroup. But the Qilin Army can still maintain half of their formation, which greatly impresses Wang Yunxiao.
You need to keep a steady mindset, don’t always compare yourself to others, estimate scores with the top student, compare spending with wealthy second-generation, or compete in combat power with some legendary top infantry that can oppose steel with iron will... it’s unnecessary.
For the Qilin Army to reach its current level, Wang Yunxiao truly believes the President is good at leading troops.
Out of respect and trust for the President, he pulled another hundred kilometers ahead.
Wang Ying directly collapsed halfway through and never got up again after falling to the ground.
So for the second half of the journey, Wang Yunxiao carried her as he walked in the front.
The hundred-kilometer journey went from 3 AM to 9 AM.
It was an absolutely brutal trek.
Unknowing passersby might suspect the Qilin Army had encountered some attack, causing the entire army to scatter.
After two hundred kilometers, Wang Yunxiao found a place to sit and waited. It took a full half-hour before a little over a hundred people crawled and rolled their way up.
The strength of these people is around the third level of the Garrison Soldiers, which means they are among the minority of elites above the average.
Even so, such a long journey left them physically and mentally exhausted.
Chen Ming plopped down on the ground, shook his kettle, and tossed it aside.
The water in the kettle and the dry rations they brought had all been consumed. No one yesterday expected Instructor Wang to be so inhumane.
Who does a two-hundred-kilometer march in training? When the Tiger King Army was transferred back from outside the border, they took the train!
Are you kidding me, making us use the soles of our feet...
It was only then he realized the piercing pain in his feet. Raising his foot, he saw that his army boots were worn out, gaping like a crocodile, revealing his dirty toes.
Before the hundred-kilometer mark, when Wang Yunxiao asked questions, no one had the strength to speak, not wanting to engage him.
Now he didn’t need to ask questions, those who caught up fell straight asleep, hardly anyone remained conscious.
Wang Yunxiao stood in an elevated spot, waiting silently for an hour, managed to barely gather five hundred as more people caught up. It was unclear where the rest had fallen behind, but there weren’t any dangerous creatures near West Spring Mountain, so they shouldn’t have been dragged off by any wild beasts.
They will surely return sooner or later.
Seeing the numbers about right, Wang Yunxiao silently walked to the steep rock face nearby. Gathering Inner Strength, he smoothed out a rugged rock, creating a three-meter-wide flat surface.
Then he raised his hand, pointing his finger at the rock wall, and began chiseling like a woodpecker.
The knocking sound woke up the drowsy Chen Ming, who instinctively gripped his long spear. Looking up, he saw the characters Wang Yunxiao was carving into the rock wall.
"Qilin Army..."
"The Qilin Army are like women..."
Chen Ming’s head exploded with a buzz.
"Instructor Wang! What are you doing?"
"Huh? Nothing, just bored, making some artistic creation."
Wang Yunxiao replied with a bright smile, his hands tirelessly working, as hard rock fell like tofu under his chiseling.
"The Qilin Army are as weak as women..."
"Puffed up from overeating during New Year, panting after a few steps..."
"Two hundred kilometers of training, the entire army wiped out here..."
"It must have been bragging during the thousand-mile west march back then..."
After writing these four lines, Wang Yunxiao turned and warmly asked, "How do you think of the poem I wrote?"
Chen Ming’s eyes were bloodshot.
Sheer humiliation.
When had the Qilin Army ever suffered such humiliation? Who dares to insult them like this?
"Is the writing inappropriate? Does it not suit the occasion?"
Wang Yunxiao looked at the Qilin Army members climbing up from the ground and kept fueling the fire without fear for his life: "Seeing me carry this little girl, are you all envious? Want me to go back and call someone to carry you?"
"Don’t look at me like that, if you need anything just say it, do you want a hotpot? Or want to find a stove to warm up? Just tell me if you have any requests, I always respect ladies." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Killing intent filled the air, the combined killing intent of hundreds of people distorted the very atmosphere.
Yet Wang Yunxiao pretended not to see.
"Aren’t you recovering well? If cultivating the Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate, your recovery power shouldn’t be this weak. At your level, when I took a bullet, I’d be fine in two days at most. How have you all been cultivating normally? Just like feeding it to dogs?"
"Once you’ve caught your breath, let’s get back on the road. If you’re a man, keep following me, all you big girls and newlyweds stay behind for a postpartum recovery, I won’t blame you."
Dusting off the rock powder from his hands, Wang Yunxiao picked up Wang Ying and turned to leave.
Ignoring the beast-like roars that rose behind him.
Finally, the fighter spirit within these soldiers was ignited.
Just having undergone a major purge of mid-to-high level commanders, most basic soldiers remained confused and uncertain, unable to discern right from wrong, or what had gone wrong at the top. There was no need to talk about morale at this point, people’s hearts were scattered.
But now, after being thoroughly exhausted and with minds emptied, Wang Yunxiao reignited their fury through ultimate humiliation.
The true terror of this army finally began to unfold.
Someone shouted at the top of their lungs: "Forming Array!"
The momentum of hundreds instantly merged, erupting into earth-shattering pressure.
"A bunch of fools, running two hundred kilometers before remembering to form up, really cultivating like feeding it to dogs."
Wang Yunxiao shook his head, sighing.
Of course, it’s not entirely their fault, mainly after nearly all mid-to-high-level officers were swept out, the remaining basic soldiers lacked organization and didn’t know what they should be doing, just foolishly following him out here.
This isn’t real Garrison Soldiers.
True Garrison Soldiers, are virtuous families self-equipping military supplies to respond to national calls, understanding the responsibility of guarding their land. Because they are guarding their own land, and when each small home unites, it forms a nation.
If Garrison Soldiers lack the mind and don’t know why they fight, then they hold no combat power and are no different from bandits.
The army has its code, how to cultivate, to what level to cultivate, these are not Wang Yunxiao’s concerns. He only needs to select five hundred soldiers from them to form a company and then command them in the upcoming operations against the Demon World.
