The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

The next morning.

Forty minutes before the reveille, Ma Huijun opened his eyes precisely on time.

At almost the same time, Xu Guodong, Du Chengwu, and others also woke up one after another.

The six veterans exchanged glances and quietly rolled off the bed.

Yesterday, they got up half an hour earlier.

When they finished washing up and arrived at the playground, Shen Yan and the other two had already run countless laps carrying their weights.

Today, they made a point of arriving ten minutes early!

A full forty minutes!

Surely I should be able to catch up with the pace of those three new recruits by now?

After getting dressed, Ma Huijun immediately looked at Shen Yan's bed.

The next second, his movements froze.

The bedding on the bed was folded neatly.

But the person has already disappeared!

He turned his head abruptly.

Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa's beds were also empty!

"No way?"

"Did we oversleep again?"

Du Chengwu walked over, refusing to believe it, and reached out to touch Shen Yan's mattress.

"It's still a bit hot!"

Upon hearing this, the veterans were not happy at all; instead, their expressions became even more complicated.

Yesterday, they got up half an hour earlier.

The beds of Shen Yan and the other two were already completely cold!

Today I arrived forty minutes early, and the mattress was still a little warm.

This shows that they have indeed made progress!

The problem is, I still couldn't beat three greenhorns!

Ma Huijun stood there silently for a few seconds.

"We all got up forty minutes early, what are they trying to do?"

"We can't possibly follow them and get up an hour earlier every day, can we?"

Xu Guodong said quietly:

"If this keeps up, our wake-up time and lights-out time will become one!"

Several people looked at each other.

Good guy!

Three new recruits have only been in the company for a few days, but they've already completely disrupted the platoon's daily routine!

Luo Zhiyong, who was on the upper bunk, rolled over without even opening his eyes.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Aren't we supposed to be fighting with the greenhorns?"

"They're already waiting for you on the playground, and you're still standing here in a daze?"

The six veterans felt a flush on their faces, quickly finished washing up, and rushed to the parade ground.

……

On the playground.

Shen Yan, Wei Shanjia, and Ga Wa are still doing weighted running.

However, Wei Shanjia was clearly more excited today than yesterday.

He ran while a smile played on his lips.

Ga Wa glanced at him sideways and quickly realized what he meant.

"Hey friend."

"You seem so happy today, is it because you're going to practice martial arts?"

Wei Shanjia chuckled.

"You understand me so well!"

During basic training, I learned some basic combat moves.

But it's mostly instructional practice; the two of them practice together, but there's not much real competition.

Today I was finally able to formally practice grappling and combat techniques.

Doesn't this just happen to be his forte?

strength!

break out!

weight!

A combination of physical confrontations!

Which one isn't his advantage?

When Ga Wa saw Wei Shanjia's expression, an ominous premonition immediately rose in his heart.

"Let me go first!"

"When we're divided into groups later, I don't want to be in the same group as you!"

Wei Shanjia's smile grew even brighter.

"What, scared?"

"It's okay, we're good brothers."

"If we're really in the same group, I'll definitely take good care of you!"

Wei Shanjia emphasized the words "take good care of" very much.

The little boy shuddered.

He suddenly remembered that he had been verbally attacking Wei Shanjia quite a bit over the past few months.

This often made Wei Shanjia so angry that he would glare at him!

If I end up in the same group as him in this fight, I'm afraid I'll be targeted for personal revenge!

It seems that Wei Shanjia will finally settle all the pent-up anger he's harbored towards me!

"Wei Shanjia, you can't bully the weak!"

The boy's eyes darted around, and he quickly said, "A real man challenges someone stronger!"

"Why don't you team up with Shen Yan?"

"Shen Yan is amazing!"

Ga Wa hadn't forgotten that when they encountered the thugs at the amusement park, Shen Yan subdued them with a single move.

The movements were clean and efficient!

It's obvious they've practiced!

Wei Shanjia turned his head and glanced at Shen Yan.

He looked down at his thick arms and said confidently.

"Shen Yan is indeed amazing."

"But fighting is different from running or reading!"

"The weight difference is obvious!"

Wei Shanjia was quite confident.

They were all new recruits.

Even if Shen Yan had learned a few moves before, to what extent could he have mastered them?

I have the advantage of strength, explosiveness, and weight.

As long as you grab Shen Yan head-on, you can throw him however you want.

You can capture him however you want.

Even if Shen Yan continues to use his cheat codes, he's not afraid!

Shen Yan did not participate in the discussion between the two, but silently adjusted her breathing and continued to maintain her running rhythm.

Ga Wa glanced at the confident Wei Shanjia, then at Shen Yan.

Suddenly, a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

If these two really started fighting...

Maybe there's going to be a good show!

……

Morning exercise over.

After breakfast, everyone in the class went to the combat training ground.

Training mats have been laid out on the ground.

Luo Zhiyong stood in front of everyone and waited until everyone had gathered before slowly speaking.

"Although we are now armored reconnaissance troops, we mainly rely on electronic equipment."

"But we can't lose any of the essential skills our reconnaissance soldiers have inherited!"

"Grappling and grappling are among the most basic and core close-quarters combat skills!"

"When carrying out reconnaissance missions, it may be necessary to control the target, subdue sentries, or suddenly encounter the enemy in a confined environment."

"If we really reach a point where our weapons are unusable, or we run out of ammunition and food, are you just going to stand there and wait to die?"

The expressions on everyone's faces quickly turned serious.

"Reconnaissance soldiers must always possess the ability to continue fighting!"

"However, let me make this clear first: this is training, not training you to kill each other!"

"Attacks to the back of the head, throat, and groin are strictly prohibited!"

"You must leave some leeway in controlling the joints; once your opponent taps you out, immediately let go!"

"We're all comrades, not enemies. Save your dirty tricks for the enemy!"

"Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Luo Zhiyong nodded.

"Next, I'll demonstrate a few basic movements for you."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the line.

"Wei Shanjia!"

"arrive!"

Wei Shanjia's eyes lit up instantly, and he strode out of the group.

"Come up here and cooperate with me!"

"yes!"

Wei Shanjia walked up to Luo Zhiyong.

When they stood close together, the difference in their body sizes became even more obvious.

Wei Shanjia was taller, with broader shoulders and thicker arms.

Luo Zhiyong was lean and fit, and appeared noticeably smaller than Wei Shanjia.

Wei Shanjia's confidence immediately increased.

"Class monitor."

"Should I hold back a little when we practice?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the six veterans beside him widened simultaneously.

Ma Huijun gasped in shock.

Good guy!

This recruit is really reckless!

Does he really think that just because he's bigger, he can easily bully the old squad leader?

Xu Guodong participated in two special forces selections.

But in regular intra-class combat exercises, he was no match for the old squad leader!

But this new recruit actually dared to ask the veteran sergeant whether he should hold back?

The way the six veterans looked at Wei Shanjia gradually changed, as if they were looking at a fool.

Luo Zhiyong did not expect Wei Shanjia to ask such a question.

He flexed his wrists and smiled.

"Need not."

"Just do your best!"

Wei Shanjia nodded, his expression quickly becoming serious.

"start!"

Luo Zhiyong had just touched Wei Shanjia's wrist, preparing to shift his center of gravity.

Wei Shanjia suddenly exerted force with his arm, actually managing to push Luo Zhiyong's movement back!

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Zhiyong's eyes.

This kid is really strong!

He immediately changed his actions, turning towards Wei Shanjia's elbows and shoulders, trying to make him lose his balance.

However, Wei Shanjia's waist, abdomen, and lower limbs were also extremely stable.

Despite attempting to subdue him twice, Luo Zhiyong was unable to take him down directly!

The smiles on the faces of the veterans nearby faded somewhat.

Although Wei Shanjia was reckless, his physical abilities were indeed ridiculously strong!

Luo Zhiyong was also aware of this.

If he were to simply outmuscle Wei Shanjia, he would not have the upper hand.

However, Wei Shanjia has a very obvious problem.

He relies too much on strength!

Whenever he senses someone trying to control him, his first reaction is to forcefully push back.

When Luo Zhiyong made his third move, he deliberately left himself an angle.

Wei Shanjia immediately put up a fight.

Just as his center of gravity shifted forward, Luo Zhiyong suddenly lost his momentum!

Then, step in from the side, control your arms, and use your waist and hips to generate power!

Wei Shanjia suddenly felt that there was nothing in front of him.

Before he could regain his footing, he was lifted into the air!

boom!

A muffled thud.

Wei Shanjia landed heavily on the training mat. Luo Zhiyong stepped forward and pressed down on Wei Shanjia's neck.

At this moment, Wei Shanjia lay there, staring blankly at the sky.

What just happened?

How did I suddenly start flying?

Luo Zhiyong looked down at him, released him, and said with a smile.

"Our grappling and fighting style isn't about who's the strongest!"

"We can utilize the center of gravity, angle, timing, and even the direction of the opponent's force!"

"The stronger you are, the harder you shift your center of gravity, and the more decisively you'll fall if someone seizes the opportunity!"

Wei Shanjia slowly got up from the ground.

When I looked at Luo Zhiyong again, his eyes had completely changed.

Good guy!

The old squad leader was clearly a size smaller than me.

How did you just throw yourself out like a sack of potatoes?

Looking at Wei Shanjia's bewildered expression, Luo Zhiyong said with a smile.

"How's it going, Xiao Wei? Do you need me to save some energy for you?"

Wei Shanjia quickly shook his head.

"No!"

"Class monitor, you can continue teaching, but it would be best to find someone else!"

The six veterans burst out laughing.

Weren't you pretty confident just now?

Why are you suddenly being so polite after just one fall?

Luo Zhiyong did not continue to make things difficult for Wei Shanjia.

"Go and keep watch from the side."

"If someone else looks at it from an outsider's perspective, it will be easier to understand what just happened."

His gaze swept across the line.

"Little boy!"

The smile on Ga Wa's face vanished instantly.

"arrive!"

He reluctantly walked into the training area.

"Squad leader, can we be a little gentler?"

"Stop talking nonsense and come here!"

As soon as Ga Wa got close, Luo Zhiyong reached out and grabbed his wrist.

But Ga Wa, like an eel, slid to the side and dodged away.

Luo Zhiyong moved forward again.

Ga Wa immediately stepped back.

Luo Zhiyong blocked him from the left, so he went around to the right.

Luo Zhiyong failed to catch him twice in a row!

The little boy immediately became happy.

"Hey, class monitor."

"You can't catch me!"

Several veterans nearby couldn't help but laugh.

This kid's body coordination and ability to change direction are really good.

They squeeze through gaps just like black goats running wildly on the hillside!

Luo Zhiyong's face darkened.

"This is a grappling and fighting tutorial!"

"I'm not asking you to play tag with me!"

"What can you learn by just running?"

The little boy stopped in his tracks.

"But if I don't run, I'll fall!"

"come over!"

"Learn how to engage, deflect, and counter-control!"

The little boy could only cautiously approach.

As soon as their hands touched, Luo Zhiyong quickly seized control of his wrist.

Turn around!

Press down with your elbow!

Before Ga Wa could even react, he was pressed down onto the training mat.

"Ouch!"

"Squad leader, be gentle!"

Luo Zhiyong maintained control of his movements.

"Look carefully."

"When facing a target who is weaker but more agile, prioritize restricting their arms first, then disrupt their balance!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Ga Wa quickly patted the training mat.

Luo Zhiyong immediately let go.

After getting up, Ga Wa quickly took two steps back.

The old squad leader is in too much danger!

He doesn't look as strong as Wei Shanjia.

Once they catch someone, they bite harder than wolves in the mountains!

Luo Zhiyong stretched his arms and finally fixed his gaze on Shen Yan.

Shen Yan walked out of the group with no choice.

He finally understood.

In addition to teaching, the veteran sergeant also wanted to give the three new recruits a taste of their power during today's formal combat training!

Wei Shanjia was thrown to the ground, and Ga Wa was also pinned to the ground.

Now it's my turn!

Luo Zhiyong looked at Shen Yan.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready."

Shen Yan thought for a moment and then asked, "Squad leader, besides the dangerous areas I just mentioned, are there any other areas where you should avoid touching them?"

Luo Zhiyong was stunned for a moment.

When other new recruits came up, all they could think about was how they should make their move.

Shen Yan asked first what moves couldn't be used?

"Have you studied grappling and martial arts before?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"I've learned a few moves of the Black Dragon Eighteen Hands."

Upon hearing this name, the expressions of the veterans around him immediately became serious.

The Black Dragon Eighteen Hands technique is rarely taught nowadays.

Moreover, many of these movements involve controlling the joints and center of gravity.

If you practice it well, you can indeed have a very strong ability to subdue people!

Luo Zhiyong's eyes showed a hint of interest.

"Do not touch dangerous areas."

"Joint control cannot be fully achieved."

"Apart from that, you can use it with confidence!"

"yes!"

Shen Yan walked to the center of the training field.

The two stood facing each other.

"start!"

No sooner had Luo Zhiyong finished speaking than Shen Yan made his move.

Azure Dragon extends its claws!

His hand reached directly for Luo Zhiyong's wrist.

Luo Zhiyong reacted extremely quickly, twisting his wrist and simultaneously moving his feet to the side, instantly avoiding being controlled.

Shen Yan did not pause, immediately changed the angle, and turned to control his elbows and shoulders.

Luo Zhiyong once again shifted his weight to the side to deflect the force.

The two men's arms collided repeatedly.

control!

Anti-control!

Unload the force!

Change direction!

In just a few seconds, the two had switched positions several times!

The ease on Wei Shanjia's face gradually disappeared.

"Dude, Shen Yan really has practiced this?"

He had assumed that Shen Yan's claim of having learned a few moves meant he had only been exposed to some basic movements before.

But now it seems...

Shen Yan's movements, reaction speed, and timing of attacks were all quite proficient!

The little boy's eyes lit up.

"I knew it!"

"When Shen Yan apprehended the thugs earlier, he subdued them in no time!"

"He's definitely not someone to be underestimated!"

Luo Zhiyong's surprise intensified.

How many moves?

You call this learning a few tricks?

Shen Yan's movements were not only skillful, but his control over his fingers and wrists was also astonishingly steady!

If I hadn't been experienced and managed to avoid several key opportunities to control him, I probably would have been caught by him!

However, Luo Zhiyong is, after all, a veteran of the fourth term.

Years of combat training allowed him to quickly adapt to Shen Yan's rhythm and movements.

When they clashed again, he deliberately revealed a weakness.

As soon as Shen Yan approached, Luo Zhiyong suddenly grabbed his left wrist and pressed his arm inward.

As long as you keep shifting your center of gravity, you can achieve control!

"Gotcha!"

Ma Huijun's eyes lit up.

Available in the next second.

Shen Yan suddenly raised his right hand, his fingertips precisely gripping a spot on Luo Zhiyong's arm.

A strong tingling and numb sensation spread instantly!

Luo Zhiyong's hand involuntarily loosened slightly.

not good!

How come this kid can still pull my nerves?

Luo Zhiyong quickly switched hands, preparing to regain control.

But Shen Yan reacted even faster!

After mastering the level of a Chinese massage master, he has an excellent understanding of the acupoints on the human body!

In addition, there is the precise control brought by "steady hands".

The tiny opportunities that emerged during the rapid exchanges were exceptionally clear to him!

Shen Yan's left hand quickly broke free of control.

He then used his other hand to press on the acupoints on Luo Zhiyong's other arm.

The familiar tingling and numb sensation returned!

Luo Zhiyong experienced temporary numbness in both arms, which affected his strength and reflexes.

It was just a fleeting opportunity.

That's enough!

Shen Yan grabbed Luo Zhiyong's wrist and pulled him to the side.

Luo Zhiyong realized something was wrong and immediately adjusted his pace, trying to escape.

But his arms were still very numb, and he couldn't use his hands at all!

Shen Yan immediately followed up with the Black Dragon Eighteen Hands' subsequent control actions.

wrist!

elbow!

Shoulder!

Three consecutive points of control were formed instantly!

Luo Zhiyong completely lost his balance!

next second.

boom!

Luo Zhiyong was safely laid down on the training mat.

Shen Yan smoothly moved to the side, controlled his arm behind his back, and pressed his knee down to lower his center of gravity!

The entire training ground fell silent instantly.

The six veterans stared wide-eyed.

Ma Huijun's mouth was slightly open, but he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Xu Guodong even subconsciously took half a step back.

What's going on?

Luo Zhiyong is a veteran of four terms!

Their class monitor!

During the grappling demonstration, he was actually pinned to the ground by a new recruit who had just joined the company.

Wei Shanjia was the first to react.

Holy crap!

"Did Shen Yan subdue the old squad leader?"

"That's not right!"

"Didn't we enlist on the same day?"

"When did you secretly learn grappling and martial arts?"
