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

Shen Yan looked at the two of them, somewhat surprised.

He could understand that Wei Shanjia was able to get up.

This guy was caught up by me in the weighted run yesterday, he must be holding a grudge.

But Ga Wa got up too, which means that his conversation with Gao Zhenhai last night about wanting to try his luck in the special forces was not just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Shen Yan smiled.

"Okay, let's go out together!"

The three of them quickly finished packing and, before most of the dormitory residents woke up, tiptoed downstairs.

The training ground was a little chilly in the early morning.

At this time, it's still dark in this part of the region, with the playground, flagpole, and training equipment in the distance shrouded in a thin gloom.

There were no slogans, no assembly whistles, and no squad leader urging them on.

The three new recruits went to the training field on their own and began to arrange their own training.

Wei Shanjia originally thought that Shen Yan would take them for a run.

When they arrived at the training ground, Shen Yan didn't touch the weighted backpack. Instead, he found an open space and started to stretch his shoulders, back, and wrists.

Wei Shanjia was taken aback.

"You're not running today?"

Shen Yan shook his head.

"I plan to work on my upper body strength first."

"During yesterday's assessment, my upper body strength wasn't very strong, so I need to practice more."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanjia felt slightly relieved.

Strength is his advantage.

At least during yesterday's preliminary assessment, he was still in the lead in training exercises such as push-ups and pull-ups.

Wei Shanjia suppressed his slight smugness and nodded, trying to appear calm.

"Training your upper body? You should definitely do that."

"Bro, I'm not trying to discourage you, but you really are still a bit behind me in this area."

Gawa glanced at him.

"Hey friend, this is all the security you have left, so hold on tight, or it won't be long before it's all gone!"

Wei Shanjia's face darkened, and he kicked out, but Ga Wa easily dodged it.

"Little one, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

Ga Wa smiled and didn't continue his banter.

"Hehe, I was right!"

"Let's stop practicing what Shen Yan is practicing for now and practice marching together!"

Both he and Wei Shanjia knew that what they needed to improve most right now was not weighted running, but basic formation training.

Shen Yan was able to be pulled aside by Chen Gang for individual training because his marching movements had already passed the test.

If the two of them can't even master the basics like standing at attention, turning around, and marching in step.

Even if he really wanted to follow Shen Yan towards the special forces, he wasn't qualified to be pulled out by Chen Gang for extra training.

Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa stood together and began to practice standing at attention, standing at ease, standing with legs apart, turning left and turning right repeatedly.

Despite his usual chatter, Ga Wa was surprisingly serious when he volunteered to practice extra.

Especially the twisting movements, which showed that he put in more effort than yesterday.

After practicing several times, Wei Shanjia sighed softly:

"I've figured it out now. If you want to be tormented by Chen Gang, you have to torment yourself first."

The little boy nodded.

"Friend, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"If you can't even train in formation properly, and you want to join the special forces, it's like a sheep trying to climb mountains before it even has legs."

Wei Shanjia turned around and glared at him.

"Could you please stop using sheep as an example?"

Ga Wa thought about it very seriously.

"Then we can replace the cow, but the calf doesn't have legs yet, so..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't mention the calf to me!"

"Come on, let's keep practicing, right turn!"

……

On the other side, Shen Yan had already started doing push-ups.

He didn't pursue quantity right away, but instead performed the movements with great precision.

Shoulder control, elbow angle, wrist support, chest, shoulder and back power generation, and core stability.

We strive to maintain standards in every step.

He knew very well that his weakness was not that he couldn't do it, but that his absolute strength and endurance had not yet caught up with a naturally gifted athlete like Wei Shanjia.

Therefore, he cannot practice haphazardly; he must focus solely on quantity and speed.

After all, the weaker your muscle is, the more you need to train it in detail, training every muscle in your body that can be trained!

Soon, a system notification sounded in my mind.

[Host detected engaging in upper limb strength training!]

[Improving the coordination of chest, shoulder, and back muscles!]

Elbow joint stability is improving!

Wrist support ability is improving!

[A deeper understanding of the stress-bearing structure of bones and joints!]

Shen Yan originally thought that the feedback would continue to extend to the areas of chest compression endurance, rotator cuff injury identification, or upper limb sports injuries.

The next notification, however, made him pause slightly.

[Integrating basic knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine bone setting!]

[Knowledge on upper limb fracture reduction, joint dislocation identification, and risk assessment for fixation and reduction is being introduced!]

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Yan's eyes.

Upper limb strength training can actually be linked to traditional Chinese medicine bone setting?

But he quickly realized what was happening.

Push-ups and arm-support movements involve the force-bearing structures of multiple joints, including the shoulder, elbow, and wrist.

Most of the falls, dislocations, fractures, and sprains commonly seen on the training field are also related to the stability of these joints.

In real-world battlefields or grassroots training environments, it's impossible to get wounded soldiers to the hospital immediately every time.

Can we make a preliminary diagnosis of fractures, identify dislocations, and provide temporary immobilization for the injured person to prevent secondary injury?

Knowing which situations absolutely should not be reset is a very important on-site handling skill!

Shen Yan continued doing push-ups while digesting the knowledge imported by the system.

He originally just wanted to improve his upper limbs, but unexpectedly stumbled upon a new medical field!

This surprised and delighted him!

The best part of the dual cultivation system of medicine and martial arts is right here.

You thought you were just training your physical fitness, but unexpectedly, it opened a new door to medicine for you!

By the time the reveille officially sounded, Shen Yan had already completed several sets of push-ups and arm-support exercises.

Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa also practiced the basic formation movements many times.

The three quickly tidied their clothes and ran to the second class's assembly point as fast as they could.

This time, they were faster than all the new recruits!

Not only were they fast, but they also stood at attention very well!

They treated even this extreme moment as a military posture practice!

When the new recruits from other platoons came downstairs one after another, they saw that there were already three people standing in the second platoon's spot, and they were all a little confused.

The class leaders were even more confused.

As soon as Cao Jianfeng, the class monitor of Class 1, came downstairs, he saw Shen Yan, Wei Shanjia, and Ga Wa already standing in Class 2's position.

His eyebrows immediately rose.

He could understand Shen Yan getting up early.

This kid has never been like a normal recruit since the first day he enlisted.

But Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa arrived early, and then the taste was off!

Another class monitor muttered to himself:

"Old Gao is really lucky this year."

"It wasn't enough for Shen Yan to do it alone; now he's even getting his fellow recruits to do it with him!"

Upon hearing this, several class leaders felt a pang of sadness.

They had all been through the recruit training period, so they naturally knew how much influence a leader could have in a squad.

At first, it might have been just one person getting up early to practice, but later it became two people following along.

After that, the atmosphere of the whole class will be influenced!

It's important to know that the evaluation and assessment in the recruit training camp is never about how outstanding a person is.

It's not about the overall state and spirit of the class!

If Class Two is truly improved by Shen Yan, they will have a significant advantage in all aspects, including housekeeping, drills, physical fitness, and discipline evaluations!

Cao Jianfeng looked at Gao Zhenhai, his tone so sour it was almost bubbling with sarcasm.

"Old Gao, did your ancestors' graves emit auspicious smoke this year?"

Gao Zhenhai stood in front of Class Two, his face still maintaining the seriousness befitting a class leader, but inside he was practically bursting with laughter.

Envious?

Sour, isn't it?

Who told Shen Yan to be in our Class 2?

You guys can only watch me with envy and jealousy!

Besides, this is just the beginning.

Once Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa have truly succeeded, once Class Two's overall performance improves, and once my chance to stay on the team this year is secured!

Then you'll have even more to envy.

However, Gao Zhenhai certainly couldn't say that out loud.

After all, he didn't want to be caught by these squad leaders and promoted in turn!

He merely glanced at Cao Jianfeng indifferently.

"Don't talk nonsense. I just made normal demands on the new recruits in the class. They voluntarily did the extra training."

Cao Jianfeng was even more envious.

Normal requirements?

Your family's normal requirement is that new recruits get up at 5 a.m. to do extra training on their own?

That's a lie you can't even fool a ghost!

Soon, the morning exercises proceeded as normal.

After breakfast, the morning training session began quickly.

Class Two continued practicing formation movements with Gao Zhenhai.

Shen Yan reviewed the key points of the formation for a while in the ranks. His movements were still standard, his turns were clean, and his standing posture was stable.

There are almost no obvious problems!

Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa were different.

The two were noticeably more serious than yesterday.

Although Wei Shanjia was verbally unconvinced, he no longer wobbled around when turning, and his body control was more stable than before.

Ga Wa stopped looking around. Although his footwork wasn't quite graceful yet, you could tell he was trying hard to get into position.

Make sure every movement is as accurate as possible!

Gao Zhenhai saw this and was even more satisfied.

After being spurred on by Shen Yan, these two boys finally started to show signs of wanting to improve!

Not long after, Chen Gang walked over from the other side of the training field.

He glanced at the Class 2 team and his gaze fell directly on Shen Yan.

"Shen Yan, come out!"

Shen Yan immediately stepped forward.

"arrive!"

Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa looked over at the same time.

Wei Shanjia suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

On the one hand, he was relieved that he wouldn't be dragged out by Chen Gang to suffer immediately.

On the other hand, seeing Shen Yan going to train his physical fitness alone again, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Yesterday, Shen Yan caught up with me in the weighted run, and this morning I saw Shen Yan making up for his upper limb weakness.

Wei Shanjia was genuinely afraid that if he wasn't careful, this guy would leave him far behind.

The child felt mostly envy.

He knew he wasn't qualified to be singled out by Chen Gang yet, so he could only practice his drills even more diligently.

He now understands very well that simply being envious is useless.

If you want to go there, you need to master the first step you're taking!

Seeing the changes in Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa's expressions, Gao Zhenhai felt more at ease.

Shen Yan being dragged out to train his physical fitness only spurred the other two to work even harder.

This is the role of a leader!

Chen Gang led Shen Yan to one side of the training field, and without arranging anything, he looked him up and down.

"You trained all day yesterday, and even gave a lecture at the medical unit last night. How's your recovery going?"

Shen Yanli answered with a straight posture:

"Report: No problem!"

Chen Gang stared at his face for a few seconds, and it didn't seem like he was just putting on a brave face.

Shen Yan is in good spirits; it seems her recovery is indeed catching up.

Chen Gang thought back to the restorative massage that Shen Yan had given him the night before last.

It has to be said that Shen Yan is not only good at training, but also knows how to recover!

This is crucial for those being trained to serve in special forces!

Real high-intensity training isn't about pushing people to their deaths.

You also need to know how to help your body recover quickly after exertion and how to prevent minor injuries from becoming major ones!

After staring at Shen Yan for a while, Chen Gang said:

"I may not have time to supervise your practice every day in the future."

"I'll hand over the training content to Lao Gao and have him assign it to you according to the plan."

"As for how well you did, whether you cut corners on the movements, or whether you slacked off on the intensity, that depends on your own self-discipline."

Shen Yan nodded.

"clear."

Chen Gang looked at him, his tone becoming even more serious.

"If you want to head towards the special forces, relying on others to keep an eye on you won't work."

"When you get to the end, no one's constantly whipping you!"

"If you don't want to practice, no one can push you up!"

Shen Yan answered very decisively.

"I will complete it as required."

Chen Gang nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, continue with weighted runs this morning, two 5km runs, still 10kg each."

After listening, Shen Yan did not respond immediately, but instead tentatively asked:

"Company commander, should we add some weight?"

Chen Gang's expression froze.

"Huh? Add weight?"

He looked at Shen Yan with the same gaze he would give a new recruit who had just picked up a gun and was already eager to participate in the all-army competition.

"It's only the second day, and you already want to increase the weight?"

"Are you kidding me!"

Shen Yan actually had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

Yesterday, I did multiple rounds of carrying 10 kilograms of weight for 5 kilometers, plus a restorative massage lesson in the evening.

The system has further solidified his weighted running ability, even raising it to the excellent level of 15 kilograms.

Based on his current physical condition and system feedback, he can not only run 15 kilograms, but he can even try to challenge around 17 kilograms!

However, Shen Yan also knew that he couldn't scare Chen Gang away all at once.

That's why he thought of starting with 15 kilograms so that everyone could gradually accept his progress.

But Chen Gang clearly didn't think so.

His expression was very serious.

"Shen Yan, I know you recover quickly and you adapt well, but training isn't just about adding more weight."

"You've only been doing weighted running for two days, and you're already thinking about increasing the weight to 15 kilograms? That's not bravery; it's easy to injure yourself!"

"If you want to join the special forces, you must first learn long-term training."

"If you only focus on speed and ruin your body, you'll end up with nothing!"

That was said very seriously.

Shen Yan also knew that Chen Gang was not deliberately stopping him, but was using his experience in leading and training troops to remind him to be careful during training.

After all, in Chen Gang's view, he was just a new recruit who had only been in the army for a few days. No matter how well he performed, he shouldn't have his load increased so quickly.

Shen Yan nodded.

"clear."

Chen Gang said:

"Start by running 10 kilograms this morning, and I'll see how you feel."

"Yes."

After the training began, Shen Yan carried a 10-kilogram weight as Chen Gang requested and ran for a while.

Chen Gang watched him for a while, and was very satisfied to confirm that his movements were stable and his breathing rhythm was normal.

But before he could offer his opinion, he was called away by an official.

He said the regimental headquarters needed him to come and handle something.

Chen Gang frowned, and before leaving, he turned back to give Shen Yan a special reminder.

"Practice as I say."

"Ten kilograms, two trips."

"No slacking off!"

Shen Yanli answered with a straight posture:

"Yes."

After Chen Gang left, this side of the training field became much quieter.

Gao Zhenhai was still leading the second class in drill practice on the other side, with Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa also in the formation.

Shen Yan did not immediately increase the weight, but continued to run at 10 kilograms for a while to confirm that his physical condition was indeed fine.

The system feedback is also very stable.

[My 10kg weighted running training is going well!]

[Your health is recovering well!]

[Stable shoulder and back load tolerance!]

Lower limb fatigue response is controllable!

[The current training intensity is below the host's maximum weight-bearing running capacity, so improvement is limited!]

Seeing the last tip, Shen Yan felt even more confident.

He stopped and secretly glanced around to make sure Chen Gang wasn't nearby.

I'm going to adjust the weight of my backpack.

He changed the weight from ten kilograms to fifteen kilograms.

The moment the 15-kilogram weight was applied to my shoulders and back, my body felt completely different.

Five kilograms more in weight doesn't sound like an exaggeration.

When used in long-distance weighted running, the pressure on the shoulders and back, the impact of each step, and the burden of each breath will significantly increase!

However, the system feedback came quickly.

[Host has been detected actively increasing their load to 15kg!]

[Excellent 5km range with 15kg load capability activated!]

[Weight and center of gravity are being readjusted!]

[Shoulder and back load endurance strengthening in progress!]

[Caliber frequency, breathing rate, and knee and ankle impact protection are being adjusted simultaneously!]

[With increased training intensity, please be aware of the risk of fatigue buildup and sports injuries!]

Shen Yan took a deep breath, packed his bags, and prepared to start running.

On the other side, although Wei Shanjia was practicing formation, his eyes kept wandering.

He didn't say it, but he kept thinking about Shen Yan's training content.

At first, he could accept Shen Yan running at a rate of 10 kilograms.

After all, the two of them had already run more than 10 kilograms yesterday.

But not long after, he suddenly noticed that Shen Yan had stopped and started adding weight to his backpack.

Wei Shanjia's eyelids twitched.

Something is wrong!

What are you doing, you idiot?!

You secretly added weight to your bag? Are you even human?

Are you trying to play the "packing your bags" game with me in real life?
