Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 50 A Dead Wood Can't Be Carved? Then I'll Do It! (Seeking monthly votes, recommendations, and continued reading)

The roll went up smoothly, requiring very little effort and not demanding much strength.

However, if you don't find your center of gravity and your legs don't get properly on the bar, your arms will soon give way, making it even harder to keep up.

This is a vicious cycle!

Xu Sanduo pulled up the bar for too long, his muscles started to ache and he couldn't hold on any longer. The height of his pull-up gradually decreased, and his legs could no longer even touch the bar.

After making a fuss for a while.

It ultimately ended in failure.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan was there to protect them, and the scene of them falling to the ground with loud thuds, as depicted in the original story, did not occur on this training ground.

Jackie Chan easily "picked" Xu Sanduo off like a child.

"Boss, I can't do it, I really can't. My legs just won't go up. Am I too stupid? Maybe we should just give up."

Xu Sanduo felt he had let Jackie Chan down, and was so upset he almost cried, and started to back out.

Jackie Chan didn't want to hear that, and stared coldly at Xu Sanduo, saying, "What? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again?"

"I... I mean, how about we just forget about it..."

Before Xu Sanduo could finish his nervous, stammering words, he was startled back to reality by Jackie Chan's raised hand, turning him into a pitiful figure with his hands covering his head.

"Believe it or not, I'll slap you to death."

Jackie Chan didn't really intend to hit Xu Sanduo. After successfully scaring him, he said, "What's so difficult about this? Even an idiot could learn it."

Besides, even though you, Xu Sanduo, may be a bit slow-witted, you're not stupid. What can't you do?

Jackie Chan had a lot of authority over Xu Sanduo, and Xu Sanduo always took his words as orders. This meant that Xu Sanduo would never question Jackie Chan's words.

As long as Jackie Chan says that Xu Sanduo can do it, then Xu Sanduo will believe that he can do it.

"Then, shall I try again?" Xu Sanduo said hesitantly.

"No need to try, you have to learn it today. Stand over there and continue," Jackie Chan shouted.

Xu Sanduo took a deep breath, readjusted his posture, jumped up and grabbed the horizontal bar, recalled the key points taught by Jackie Chan, and began to try again.

This time, Jackie Chan didn't stand idly by and decided to accelerate Xu Sanduo's learning process.

In the original story, Xu Sanduo found it very difficult to learn. He fell many times before he finally learned how to roll around on his body. The main problem was that while there were people to teach him, there was no one to teach him step by step.

It's not that Wu Liuyi didn't want to teach him step by step, but his height wasn't high enough to allow him to do so.

In addition, he didn't like Xu Sanduo. He had a problem with Xu Sanduo before Xu Sanduo came to the Steel Seventh Company, and he still doesn't have any good feelings towards him now.

With a hint of hostility, he naturally wouldn't teach with all his might.

Jackie Chan is completely different!

As a prophet who traveled through time, he knew how much potential Xu Sanduo had and hoped that Xu Sanduo could break free from his cocoon and transform into a butterfly.

With his height, long arms, and great strength, he can easily teach hands-on.

Not to mention, he has more teaching experience than Wu Liuyi. In his previous life, he was a special forces instructor and knows better how to motivate soldiers.

With these multiple factors in place, Jackie Chan had the confidence to say that sentence—

You must learn this today!

Therefore, when Xu Sanduo was once again caught in a situation where he couldn't lift his legs due to instability, Jackie Chan stepped in to help him.

One hand pulled his leg up, while the other hand pressed his head back.

With external help, Xu Sanduo was able to find and feel where the center of gravity was.

With Jackie Chan's help, Xu Sanduo successfully completed the roll-up move, placing his hands on the horizontal bar, sweating profusely but grinning like a fool.

He exclaimed excitedly, "I did it, boss! I did it! I made it up here! Haha!"

Shi Jin, who was crouching in the corner watching from a distance, saw Xu Sanduo finally go up, and even though it was with the help of others, he showed a relieved smile.

The onlookers in the dormitory had mixed opinions about Xu Sanduo.

Some say Xu Sanduo is quite talented, succeeding on his second try.

Some people say that Xu Sanduo is nothing special, that he needs help with such a simple action, and that if no one helps him, he wouldn't be able to learn it even in a week.

Some even envied Xu Sanduo, who had Jackie Chan as his sparring partner, so he didn't have to worry about falling and it saved him a lot of trouble.

The outside world has its own opinions, but Xu Sanduo, the person involved, can't hear them. He is now immersed in the joy of success, and his confidence has been fully ignited.

"Come down and let's do it again. First, practice this body-rolling movement."

Jackie Chan neither praised nor belittled him, but proceeded step by step according to his own plan.

Xu Sanduo knew that his success was all thanks to Jackie Chan's help, and he was grateful and obeyed Jackie Chan's every word.

Without hesitation, he got off the horizontal bar and immediately began his second roll.

The second time, Xu Sanduo still couldn't complete it on his own and still needed Jackie Chan's assistance to successfully complete the task.

but.

It's noticeably different from the first time.

Unlike the first time when I felt nothing at all and it was all thanks to Jackie Chan lifting me up.

The second time he was wrapped up, Xu Sanduo was much "smarter." He gradually grasped the knack of wrapping up and understood what the so-called center of gravity meant.

With less than half the strength Jackie Chan provided last time, Xu Sanduo completed the roll-up maneuver.

By the time Xu Sanduo started rolling over the body for the third time, Jackie Chan only needed to exert a little effort for Xu Sanduo to complete the task smoothly.

On the sixth attempt, Jackie Chan only made a feint.

Thinking that Jackie Chan was still helping him, Xu Sanduo, relying on the feeling he had gained from his many successes, completed the scroll on his own.

Although he was already exhausted and covered in sweat, his camouflage uniform was completely soaked.

But for Xu Sanduo, it was all worth it.

This is also a unique advantage of being able to teach step by step.

It allows trainees to experience success in advance and find their footing in success.

For most things that rely on skills, there isn't a huge gap between knowing how and not knowing how; it's often just a matter of lacking that certain feeling.

Once you feel like your brain has clicked, you suddenly realize you know it.

This is what is meant by enlightenment and guidance.

Jackie Chan was the one who gave Xu Sanduo the pointer, helping him to quickly learn how to roll up his body through timely assistance.

The new recruits and some veterans who were watching, as well as those who didn't yet know how to roll up their clothes, all showed expressions of envy.

They weren't envious of Xu Sanduo's ability to roll around on his body, but rather of his excellent "teacher," Jackie Chan, who personally taught him.

Based on their ability to turn even rotten wood into a work of art, they believed they could learn it even more easily.

A few of the bolder recruits couldn't resist coming to the equipment field since they were just idling around in the dorm anyway.

They shamelessly begged Jackie Chan to teach them too, as they wanted to learn the cool abdominal barbell routine.
