Chapter 359 Hot Water
"what……"

Even though the military regulations were strict, the examinees were also exhausted, and lamented one after another.

Isn't this just the first exam?The second game is about to start, do you still want to live?

Li Yijian shouted solemnly: "What? Can't you bear this bit of suffering? You know that when you are doing a task, it doesn't matter whether you are rested or not, whether you have energy or not, if you want to do it, you have to do it. Eat and drink enough, have enough rest, be free from illness and disaster, and prepare for a complete battle. All kinds of fatigue and difficulties are the most common. The frontline is full of dangers, and never complain why others don't wait for you!"

"It's this set of words again..."

Qu Huan wanted to rub his sore eyes, but then he smelled the smell of his hands, put it down again, and whispered to Qin Yongcheng next to him: "I think this examiner is also a bit psychopathic, he clearly takes pleasure in torturing us..."

Qin Yongcheng said: "Keep your voice down, he just said not to complain."

Qu Huan was surprised and said, "I think you are in good condition?"

Qin Yongcheng said: "I...have been tempered a lot recently."

Qu Huan said disapprovingly, "What kind of training do you have? Don't you all go to class and practice together? After class, I haven't seen you working hard recently?"

Speaking of which, in the past half month, Qin Yongcheng has been alone, mainly reading books and practicing Xuangong, and his martial arts training has been reduced.

Qin Yongcheng knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he changed the subject calmly, and said, "Anyway, I have made great progress, and you will see it. Guess what the next assessment will be? Survival of the Jedi? Walking through the desert?"

Qu Huan said: "I don't know, how can I speculate on this perverted thinking..."

At this moment, Li Yijian said: "Form up, the boys' team and the girls' team. Divide into two teams."

No matter what, the candidates got up and lined up, and were led by the military academy to go to both sides of the racecourse.

It doesn't look like a large-scale transfer, could it be that it will be held in the venue for the second time?
Qu Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he raised his mind again, thinking: The teacher said, the easier it is to relax, the more you have to raise your heart. They didn't make the examination room very grand, maybe it was just to make the exam room bigger. Should we let our guard down?

However, nothing happened along the way, and it didn't go too far.A group of people came to the sidelines and came to a grass shed - if it was compact and crude, it was probably similar to a horse shed.

The students couldn't help showing embarrassment when they saw that the stables were covered with shadows.

The military academy said loudly: "Go in and get ready to take a shower."

All the students were overjoyed, no wonder men and women were separated, it turned out to be for bathing.They had been with the horse for too long and needed a bath.

However...is it just a shower?

"This is your water."

After entering the hut, the students each got a bucket of water, and the ice cubes in the water collided slightly, making a crisp sound of jingling bells.

"It's so cold!"

Hearing this voice, I felt my teeth chatter.

It's the end of November!

Of course, the students have a solid foundation in both internal and external skills, so it is not enough to just take a cold shower. The training camp used to have a tradition of winter swimming, but now that they are physically and mentally exhausted, taking a cold shower makes them feel cold and hungry, which is really frustrating.

"You have a quarter of an hour to heat up the water, and then pour it into the cold pool in the shed next door. Then you can go in and wash. If everyone heats up the water, mix it with cold water, and you will get exactly the same temperature as the pool. Comfortable hot water, take a hot bath to relieve fatigue. If anyone thinks that they can take a bucket of cold water and rub it in other people's hot water, it depends on whether other people agree or not?"

Boil hot water...

How to burn?
The examiners don't need to explain it, the candidates will know it by themselves.

Of course not with firewood, but with internal force!
Although the internal force is not as tangible as the gang qi, it can also be released and heated up. It is only necessary to use the internal force to heat the hot water to the point where you can take a bath, and that consumes too much.What's more, it has to be mixed with a pool of cold water, and the temperature may be even higher.

Especially in such a situation, some people feel exhausted physically and mentally, and their internal energy can't function anymore. They don't even have time to adjust their breath, and they still have to boil water?Is this still alive?

"A quarter of an hour, the timer starts."

All the candidates kept silent, and stretched their hands into the icy water to activate their internal strength.It's not for taking a comfortable hot bath, nor for fear that others won't allow you to rub the hot water, but to understand that this is an exam. No matter how easy it is, the essence is still an assessment. Do it and you will be eliminated.

For a while, there was a gurgling sound in each wooden barrel, and after a while, some wooden barrels gradually began to steam.

"If you burst out with all your strength, the temperature will be reached soon. But if it is too early, the hot water in the cold pool will be too little, so you still can't wash it, and you can only wait for others." Qu Huan stimulated his internal strength while analyzing, " Moreover, this test is linked one after another, so you must be restrained and leave a little internal strength to prevent accidents."

Over there, teachers are also discussing.

"Boil the water, the second level really tests internal strength."

Li Yijian said indifferently: "What kind of second level is this? It's just a small screening. Screen out those who are really unqualified. I didn't test the stellar energy, and I can't even train my internal strength well. The assessment has been carried out. It is also very troublesome for us to set up the safe zone, and not everyone is qualified to go."

Tang Zhaodao: "That's true. Setting up thresholds in advance to screen out some students who don't pass the test and prevent them from going to places that are too dangerous is also a kindness."

Li Yijian glanced at him and said, "We don't have any benevolence."

Lan Xiuzhu followed: "Let me just say that although these two exams are tough, the methods are very conventional. It seems that the mouse is pulling the turtle - the big head is behind?"

Li Yijian said: "Of course, the real fun starts at the front line. But before that, I gave some small gifts to the students." He smiled slightly as he spoke.

"Ah... so comfortable. I feel like I'm alive."

Qu Huan soaked in the pool, enjoying the turbid hot water surrounding him.The water vapor curled up like a fairyland, making him unable to see the faces of his classmates who were close at hand.

"This should be the last enjoyment, right?"

"Boss, this is really unlucky. Our buddies still have a long life." His little brother Zhu Li beside him interjected.

Qu Huan sighed, and said, "It's not that my words are unlucky, but that the exam is too difficult. You see, after two tests, our brothers have suffered a lot. Do you think we can pass half of the people after these two tests?"

Qu Huan had five younger brothers who followed him to the examination room, but now there are only three left.Eliminating another one will reach the "half" limit he said.

Because of Qu Huan's protection, his younger brothers were more or less suspected of hitchhiking, but not all of them were qualified to pass the exam, so it's not surprising that they were eliminated in the first few rounds.But it can be seen from this that there are indeed a lot of elimination places in this exam.

Naturally, Qu Huan couldn't accept the first-class students as juniors, but he didn't like those who were too low-level. His juniors were all at the middle level, and being eliminated showed that the exam was really difficult.

Zhu Li sighed and said: "This test is really difficult, harder than the mock test. In fact, I also passed the test just now. The temperature just reached the standard, and Xiao Chen was behind me, so he didn't come in. In terms of overall strength, he is better than me. No less than that. I thought he would not fail if I failed. But his score in the written test would not be low, and I always answered indiscriminately. When the results of the written test came out, I also left. He Take a step first, and I'll follow right away... Bah, bah, why am I unlucky?"

Instead, Qu Huan comforted him and said, "I think that if they do it this way, they won't even pass the last half. If there are some wonderful performances during the exam, it will be judged as passing."

Zhu Li said: "That's right, but if you fail the written test, you won't have a chance..."

Just as he was talking, a soldier came in from the shed and said loudly: "The clothes are here, put them on after washing, get the supplies and go out quickly. Jiaoyu is waiting for you."

Qu Huan thought to himself: "It's okay, and the clothes have been prepared again. First take off our clothes, and then change the clothes, both inside and out are new, so can we be afraid of cheating by stealing equipment? It saves a body search. Look. The real test is about to take place."

In the hearts of the students, they also know that the previous written test and quiz are just appetizers, and the real assessment will come later.Just like crossing the canyon under the moonlit night last year, the Chinese army must have prepared a special feast this time.

An impatient student climbed up from the pool, saw the supply bag next to him, and sighed—they often eat this kind of army supply bag, which only contains dry biscuits, pickles and vinegar cloth, which is full but not as tasty It doesn't matter at all, just eat this after a day of tiredness?
Then, when he saw the clothes, he couldn't help being startled, and asked, "What is this?"

I saw the so-called "clothes" placed in a basin, which looked like a gray-green paste.

He reached into the basin and grabbed a handful. His fingers seemed to be inserted into a slippery ball of algae, and he took out a ball that was soft and lying in the palm of his hand. Mixed up.

"What is this? Is it also a supply? Isn't it for clothes?"

Everyone was stunned, and got up naked from the pool one by one, and sure enough, they saw that the supplies were food supply bags and this pot of paste, and there was nothing that looked like clothes.

Most of the students looked at each other in blank dismay, and some asked, "Did I make a mistake?"

Only some students showed thoughtful expressions. Most of them were from extraordinary backgrounds, well-informed, or liked reading, and were knowledgeable, so they had an impression of this thing.

Qu Huan was also the one with the most knowledge, and sighed softly: "So it's this thing."

He sighed so long, it really attracted people's attention, Zhu Li cooperated with him for many years, and he had a tacit understanding, so he immediately asked: "Boss, what is this?"

Just as Qu Huan was about to speak, he saw a young man stepping forward, fished out a ball from the basin, rubbed and patted it for some reason, and immediately changed into a piece of cloth, wrapped it around his body.

Qu Huan took the lead and said without further delay, "This is Zhengpao."

　And at night
