“I can answer those questions for you!” Jiawen walked to Jingcang. She shot a wink at him and gazed back at Chu Xiaxia with a serious expression. “Firstly, why am I only letting you do this? It’s the sergeant’s decision. I don’t have to ask for your permission. Secondly, you must accept instructions if you ever make a mistake. This point is clearly written in the SWAT training guidelines. As mentioned by Sergeant Zhan just now, things like fearing the cold, moving slowly, being undisciplined, and disobeying your superior’s orders would make you susceptible to punishment.”
“Sir, a question. In what way did we fear the cold, move slowly, are undisciplined, and disobeyed our superior’s orders? Please answer, Sir!”
“In addition to wearing military uniforms, you also wore cold-proof equipment. What else can that mean except for you being afraid of the cold?” Jiawen grinned. Her eyes shone with cruel mischief.
“Sir, it’s now negative 12 degrees Celsius, the military uniform can’t keep us warm at all!” Chu Xiaxia replied, unable to accept this reason.
“What a joke. You’re humans, and we’re humans too. Why can we do it, but you can’t? You have to admit that you are weaker than others. Stop trying to make excuses. Should we blame the basketball pole for being crooked if the basketball player missed a shot? As for being slow, being undisciplined, and disobeying your superior’s orders, do you still want me to explain it all to you one by one?”
Xia Chuchu blushed and responded loudly, “No need, Sir!”
“Very good, fall in.”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Ready, march!”
“One, two!”
“Start moving!”
“One, two, three, four, five, six…”
Yunxuan paced in front of the other soldiers and said sternly, “Here, there are only yeses and nos, no buts. There are only two rules here. One, completely obey the orders of the superiors. Secondly, if there are any violations, please refer to Rule One. All you have to do is to completely obey your superiors, no exceptions. Today, I can ignore your faults, but I don’t want to see a repeat of that the next time. You’re going through special training here, not camping. There is no adjustment period. If anyone is not used to it or doesn’t want to continue being here, just tell me. I will have someone bring a helicopter to send you back to your home country. If you don’t want such an embarrassing exit, you’ll have to be serious and diligent for the full six months. After six months, I will send you a training completion certificate so that you can walk out of here happily with your heads held high. In six months, you will be at the top among the elites, and you will serve the country! Do you hear me clearly?”
“We heard you clearly!”
“Very well, you’ll be working until you reach the standards of the athletes on CCTV-5. Start moving!” Yunxuan ordered.
The soldiers dispersed. Jiawen said sternly, “All of you get back to the previous position. I’m warning you, if you continue to be lazy, I’m going to make you enjoy life in a frozen river on an ice mountain!”
The soldiers immediately dispersed neatly. The whole process only lasted for a few breaths.
“Very good! Now, tie these lead bags next to your legs immediately, pronto!”
“Yes!”
Upon hearing Yunxuan’s words, each rushed to the side to get the lead bags. Everyone helped one another and soon, everyone’s legs were tied with lead bags.
Jingcang stepped forward and told them, “Very well, now I’ll teach you a set of basic training moves. I will only do it once. Watch closely.”
Forward punch, straight punch, swing punches, uppercuts; kicks, forward kicks, forward stomp, sweeping kick, side kick, and back kick. There was no rest or intermittent time in between.
Then, it was immediately followed by push-ups, sit-ups, abdominal V-ups, duck steps, frog leaps, leg presses, pull-ups, and hanging leg raises.
Every one of Jingcang’s movements were on point. Even after performing all the basic moves, there was not a single drop of sweat on his forehead.
“Did you guys catch that?”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Very well, now Sergeant Xuan will demonstrate for you,” Yunxuan said in a deep voice without even looking at them.
Jiawen smirked and said, “It is better for Sergeant Zhan to demonstrate it to you, Sergeant Zhan is much better than me!”
Yunxuan looked up and coincidently saw Jiawen smiling at her playfully. The expression on her face softened a lot. Then, she nodded, took a step forward and performed complete sets of boxing moves. Every move was just perfect!
Every punch she executed carried all the force through her body from her toe to her heel, followed by the twisting of her ankle. The energy would be forced up her calf muscles. Then, she bent her legs to receive the energy, while her thighs bore the weight. Her waist carried all the energy further up with a twist. The culmination of this energy turned into a huge wave that passed through the shoulders. It then drove the entire elbow forward, and with all the power in the body, the punch was delivered!
She used his full force in every punch!
Never underestimate punches and kicks. The whole body had to work together, engaging all muscles to participate in the operation so that the maximum force could be brought out.
Some people could kill another with a single punch!
Others sprained themselves without hurting their opponent!
It was precisely because of this reason.
The same applied to other moves as well.
Even if it were just a punch, as long as it was done properly, it was still martial arts!
The foundation of martial arts lay in simple, basic training! The peak of martial arts was also simple and rudimental. All they needed to do was to return to the basics!
Finally, she pulled her hands and feet back. Her breathing became slightly faster.
Jiawen laughed and said to the soldiers, “Thank Sergeant Zhan for demonstrating it to us!”
The soldiers responded, “Thank you, Sergeant Zhan!”
Yunxuan nodded. “Very good, start moving! Remember, your whole body must be coordinated, otherwise, it’s your own business if you strain your muscles!”
After Yunxuan finished speaking, they all began to practice. Yunxuan did not remain idle. She walked among them and gave them some guidance, one by one.
After all, she was now their sergeant!
“Your posture is wrong!”
“Straighten your hand!”
“Bend your feet!”
“Is your body stiff all over?”
“This is baffling. Do you think you are dancing?”
“Power, show me your power!”
As time passed, everyone grew exhausted and started panting, but Yunxuan did not give them time to rest. Instead, she said coldly, “Now, all of you turn to the right. You must have one arm’s length between you and the person in front of you, behind you, to your left, and to your right. Start moving!
“All of you, squat down and leapfrog back to the cafeteria from here!”
