In this era, the only way to connect cities was through the armored railway. The area around the railway was considered safe, but the other areas were all dangerous. As for a 'road trip' like this, even Emily, a descendant of an assassin clan, had never experienced it before.
It was said that in human society hundreds of years ago, as long as one was willing, one could go anywhere in the world to experience the vastness of nature. But to the people of today, this was too extravagant.
Compared to the streets and houses in the city, which were no wider than ten meters, the view in the boundless wilderness was simply too wide. Being in such a place, one's heart felt as if it had suddenly become wider.
The previous small disturbance didn't affect everyone's mood too much. Other than Adams, who had a belly full of suppressed anger, the others were still very lively.
The armored vehicle jolted through the wilderness for an entire day, finally arriving at its destination at three in the afternoon.
This wasn't the frontline of the Chloe Sentry Post, but a logistics camp. The entire camp wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. Surrounding it was a fence made of high voltage electric fences. A lone sentry tower towered in the middle of the camp. It was tall and served as a warning, making it easy for people to find their way around.
This was a patrol camp of the armored railway, and it was part of Tianjing City's defense forces. Upon arriving, one could feel the heavy security and cautious atmosphere. This was the world outside of the city.
"Everyone has worked hard. It was a bit bumpy, but we've finally arrived." Teacher Grace's voice warmed everyone's heart. Teacher was still the best. They were so moved that they were about to cry.
"It wasn't hard." Terrence hurried to show off. "We still have strength!"
"Right, right, right. It's just a ride. What's so hard about it?"
"Ha, in our current state, fighting a mutated beast alone isn't a problem!"
Everyone was excited and their roars shook the heavens. Every one of them wanted to leave a good impression on Grace. Upon arriving, they all remembered their goal.
"Very good. I originally wanted to let you guys rest for a few minutes," Grace said with a smile. "Since you still have strength, let's begin."
Begin what?
The surroundings immediately turned deathly silent.
"Five hundred squats, five hundred push-ups, and after that, run a hundred laps around the camp."
Fuck … Teacher Grace is also playing tricks?!
We're just being modest …
Everyone looked at each other. Looking at the desolate and somewhat gloomy environment around them, they thought about the warmth in the city. Damn it.
Terrence was also dumbfounded. Roaring was one thing, but the bumpy ride made him want to vomit. "G-Teacher Grace, I was just joking …"
"But I'm not joking." Grace smiled as she looked at her watch. "If we move quickly, we should be able to make it for dinner."
Dinner …
After going through so much, if they didn't even have something to eat, what was the point of training tomorrow?
"Wang Zhong, you seem to be in good condition. Let us take the lead." No matter how magnanimous he was, this Wang Zhong still didn't know what was good for him. Putting aside the fact that he had slapped Lu Zhan Tian's face, Adams was still one of his people. Speaking of Adams in such a manner to his face was not giving him any face at all. This was the perfect opportunity to measure Wang Zhong's strength. Strength was something that could only be determined after personally witnessing it.
"Okay." Wang Zhong's reply was very straightforward.
With someone taking the lead, the others consciously joined in. Whether they felt dizzy or not, they would have nowhere to cry if they didn't get to eat dinner.
Revega's movements were very fast, and his squats were very powerful. The dizziness he had felt when he got off the bus had only lasted for a short while, and he had long since recovered. But what made him disappointed was that Wang Zhong didn't have any intention of competing with him. Wang Zhong only methodically performed his own movements. They were very accurate and stable.
Squats, push-ups, and running laps. Normally, these weren't difficult tasks for these fellows, but after a day of bumpy training, some of them couldn't help but want to vomit.
Grace truly couldn't bring herself to be happy. These fellows were simply flowers in a greenhouse, acting as if they could do anything just by relying on soul power. How naive!
No wonder Greene had spent so much effort to transfer her back. If this continued, Tianjing Academy would truly be finished.
Regardless of whether it was the core strength of the academy like Reeves, Scarlet, Hymin, or the first year students like Emily and Grai, all of these fellows had pretty good innate talents. Some of them even came from famous families, and their combat methods weren't too bad. Although they couldn't compare to the seeded squadrons of the top academies, they shouldn't be in their current state. The only thing that could be said was that they were too showy and impractical. Soul power was only one of the key factors in obtaining victory. There were too many factors that could affect combat, such as physical strength, endurance, tenacity, and many others … Even after reaching the Heroic Soul Stage, these aspects were still very important.
Without a sufficiently tyrannical body, soul power was like a castle in the air.
As for a consciousness that surpassed the fleshly body … Grace really didn't have any way to evaluate it.
Just as she was sorting out the group training plan in her mind, a man in military uniform walked over. He looked to be in his thirties and had a face full of beard stubble. He appeared to be extremely crude and forthright. "Ha! Boss, long time no see! "
"Aldrich!" Grace was rather happy to see her old classmate again. "You've been doing pretty well. If Teacher hadn't told me about this place, I wouldn't have known that you've already become a second lieutenant and become the boss here. Not bad, this military uniform is quite awe-inspiring."
Aldrich and Grace were students from the same batch and had even participated in the CHF Great Competition as teammates. It was a pity that he encountered some problems in his cultivation before graduation and was ultimately unable to cast his Heroic Soul. He was then sent to the inland army, where he stayed for over a decade.
"Boss, we've known each other for over a decade, yet you don't say anything about promoting and encouraging me the moment we meet. Instead, you even ridicule me for having one bar? How unkind! " As Aldrich spoke, his eyes stared fixedly at the two heavy-duty off-road vehicles and armored vehicles. "You elites at the frontlines drive these kinds of vehicles for fun? I've been here for over a decade, yet I've only seen them twice. Tsk tsk. Look at those lines, look at those tires …"
"Don't lick your saliva at my car!" Grace found it funny. "It's been over a decade and you still have this kind of virtue. You want anything good that you see."
Aldrich didn't blush. Instead, he grinned and scratched his head. Turning his gaze towards the large group of students who were doing squats, he said, "Are these the brats representing the academy in the competition?"
"What do you think?"
