the eleven-year-old boy was excited.
"Come, I'll show you how to walk on the plum blossom pile!" Fang Yun took Zhang Jing'an to where the plum blossom pile was.
Fang Yun walked and said, "The plum blossom piles in the army are three feet and three inches off the ground, with a diameter of five inches. They are mainly used to practice footwork. The monsters are powerful, and once they have a chance to move, the human race must rely on flexible methods to fight. Veterans can already practice on the plum blossom piles with weapons in hand. As for new recruits like you, do you see the arrows under the plum blossom piles? You can just walk quickly on them in the direction indicated by the arrows. Let me see..."
Fang Yun looked carefully at the plum blossom piles in front of him. There were two venues for plum blossom piles. With a quick glance, he counted that there were 108 plum blossom piles in each venue, nailed sparsely and orderly.
Fang Yun walked to a field of plum blossom piles, and with a light leap, he jumped onto the first plum blossom pile in the nearest field like an eagle or crane. Fang Yuan's eyes lit up. This kind of calm and steady movement could only be done by a veteran with more than ten years of experience.
Some soldiers were practicing weapons or even fighting on the plum blossom piles. After receiving Fang Yuan's signal, they immediately left and stood on the outskirts of the plum blossom pile field.
"There are 108 plum blossom piles here. Ordinary soldiers take one step at a pile. It takes 54 breaths to pass. Elite soldiers need 20 breaths to pass. Jing'an, although you are young, but since you are determined to become a general, you must meet the standard of passing in 20 breaths. Your father will demonstrate it to you once."
Fang Yun said this and took a big step forward.
Bang, bang, bang…
Fang Yuan was stunned, and the nearby soldiers also looked over. They all instinctively widened their eyes and looked at Fang Yun on the plum blossom pile in disbelief.
Fang Yun was seen running on the plum blossom piles at a speed faster than an ordinary person running at full speed. Every time he landed on the wooden piles, a loud noise was made. His body was as fast as the wind, as if he was flying.
The sound of stepping on the wooden stakes was like dense drum beats. After only seven breaths, Fang Yun stood on the 108th wooden stake.
"So impressive..." Zhang Jing'an's eyes lit up. He saw some veterans also running on the plum blossom piles, but their speed was far slower than Fang Yun's.
Hundreds of elite soldiers from the third battalion looked at Fang Yun, and several military officers walked over here.
Fang Yun said: "Seven breaths... is a bit slow. I'm new here. I don't need to use my full strength."
The soldiers on the side were stunned, and Fang Yuan was also extremely surprised. This Zhang Longxiang's body was much stronger than that of an ordinary Hanlin.
"Jing'an, you give it a try. You have to run for a full quarter of an hour today. Take your time, don't rush." Fang Yun was very kind.
"yes!"
Zhang Jing'an jumped hard and landed on the first wooden stake. His body swayed slightly, and he quickly spread his arms to steady himself.
"Let's start. Don't rush for success. You should first familiarize yourself with the distance and landing point, and overcome your worries about height. You are a new recruit, and this will be very difficult for you. You must pay extra attention." Fang Yun patiently encouraged.
Zhang Jing'an smiled and said, "It's just a plum blossom pile, a piece of cake. I've climbed walls and trees before. Just wait and see. I can reach the level of an ordinary soldier in two or three days!"
Fang Yun smiled slightly, as if he didn't care.
Fang Yuan glanced at Fang Yun, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
Zhang Jing'an took a look at the second pillar, exerted force suddenly, pushed the wooden stake with his left foot, lifted his right foot, and jumped forward. His right foot landed on the second wooden stake, followed by his left foot, but his body began to shake.
"It's easy!" Zhang Jing'an grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
Fang Yun smiled and said nothing.
Fang Yuan glanced at Fang Yun again.
Zhang Jing'an jumped again, two steps, three steps, four steps... the third stake, the fourth stake, the fifth stake...
Soon, Zhang Jing'an jumped to the tenth wooden stake and then jumped to the eleventh wooden stake.
At this moment, the expressions of all the soldiers present changed, and some even smiled.
The distance between the tenth and eleventh stakes is one inch longer than the previous ones, and the diameter of the eleventh stake is also slightly smaller. Due to years of being trampled and rubbed by people, the actual area of the tops of all the stakes will be reduced.
Zhang Jing'an's right toe tip stepped on the eleventh stake, but his heel stepped into empty space!
"ah… "
Zhang Jing'an screamed, his right foot slipped off the wooden stake, his legs spread wide apart, and finally he fell heavily to the ground in a splits position.
The tearing pain in his hips spread throughout Zhang Jing'an's body. He fell to the ground, holding his thigh, sweating coldly in pain and groaning softly.
Fang Yuan stole another glance at Fang Yun and found that "Zhang Longxiang" was still smiling and didn't seem to be distressed at all for his son's injury.
"I told you to be careful, don't rush, and look carefully before taking a step. The distance between the tenth and eleventh stakes is larger than before. You can't even see this. I'm very disappointed!"
Fang Yun's words made Zhang Jing'an feel even worse. He could no longer laugh. He just stood up slowly with the help of the wooden stakes, and then was about to climb up the eleventh stake.
"Hmph, what do you care! I can definitely run faster than the plum blossom pile!" Zhang Jing'an said unconvinced.
"Shut up! Start from the first wooden stake. If you fall halfway, start again! Remember, you are a soldier of my Chu State and the human race, not some street thug!" Fang Yun said bluntly.
Zhang Jing'an wanted to refute, but remembering Fang Yun's words, he gritted his teeth and slowly walked towards the first plum blossom pile.
Fang Yun smiled and said to Fang Yuan: "Please introduce me to the camp school of the Third Battalion. I passed the plum blossom pile in seven breaths and became the first. I should be rewarded, right?"
"That's right! From today on, you can be the sergeant!" A sturdy man came with several people. He was tall and his muscles made his white imperial scholar's uniform bulge. He also wore a set of iron armor on the outside of the imperial scholar's uniform, which made a clattering sound when he walked. Although he was carrying a heavy load, he walked faster than ordinary soldiers.
Fang Yun glanced at the crowd and saw that there was only this Jinshi, so he smiled and bowed, saying, "Sergeant Zhang Longxiang, I greet the commander. I am just an ordinary person in the Jingxi Guard."
Upon hearing the three words "Zhang Longxiang", many veteran soldiers and well-informed recruits changed their expressions, and a few even showed ferocious or even hateful eyes.
The Jinshi Yingxiao glanced at Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan nodded slightly.
"We are from the Xu Cang School. Welcome Brother Zhang to join our Third Battalion! Our Jingxi Guard is just like any other place. Those who are capable will be promoted and those who have made contributions will be rewarded. Someone, go and change Sergeant Zhang into a sergeant uniform!"
"Thank you, Lord Xu!" Fang Yun said with a smile and looked at Zhang Jingan.
Zhang Jing'an was extremely ashamed and annoyed, and whispered: "You are just relying on your age to catch up with me! You are just a small sergeant!"
Xu Cang's face suddenly darkened, and he said sternly: "You little soldier, tell me your name!"
Zhang Jing'an was startled, and hurriedly straightened his chest and raised his head, and shouted: "New soldier Zhang Jing'an, meet Captain Xu!"
"As a new soldier, you disrespect your superiors. You should be punished! From today on, your meals will be reduced by half for a month, and you will have to work two hours at night! If you do it again, the punishment will be doubled!"
Zhang Jing'an's face was full of grievance, tears welled up in his eyes, making him look pitiful, but he did not cry. He said stubbornly, "I know I am wrong and will never make the same mistake again. Since this is my first offense, please reduce the punishment!"
Many soldiers couldn't help laughing.
515 is coming soon. I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list. On May 15, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and promote the work. It's also love, I will definitely update it well! (To be continued.)
