The field was silent as a terrifying pressure descended upon the heads of every freshman.
Under the pressure of the middle-aged man's aura, the freshmen found it hard to breathe and bent their backs.
All the freshmen were struggling to hold on. Wang Teng looked at everyone's pale faces and rubbed his chin.
Should he learn from them and show a pained expression?
If he looked too relaxed, he would not fit in with the group!
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a few gazes on him. He could not help but turn around.
"Eh?"
Wang Teng noticed that a few freshmen had serious expressions on their faces, but they didn't look uncomfortable at all.
These freshmen might not be Martial Warriors, but their strength was definitely higher than Advanced Martial Disciples.
Huanghai Military Academy was indeed a top university. The freshmen that they recruited were not ordinary people.
These were the freshmen around Wang Teng. There must be more in the other teams. It was just that they were blocked by the crowd and could not be seen.
According to this ratio, there must be a lot of freshmen who could reach this level.
Maybe some freshmen were recruited because of other reasons and were slightly weaker. However, if they were sent to other normal universities, they would definitely be outstanding in the eyes of the teachers.
Wang Teng was sighing.
The freshmen were shocked. Wang Teng was too casual and relaxed. They could not see through him.
The middle-aged man did not relax his aura. He continued to suppress everyone and said calmly,
"Although today is the first day of school, I want to tell you that the rules of Huanghai must be implemented from the first day.
"Those who are late, run 20 laps around the field!
"If you can't finish before 5 pm, don't eat dinner tonight."
20 laps!
For martial artists, this was not a lot.
However, this was not a 400-meter field. Looking at it, it was impossible to run a 4000-meter lap.
20 laps would be 80 kilometers. It was almost twice as fast as a marathon.
They still had to finish in less than three hours. Even Advanced Martial Disciples could not do it!
This was killing them!
Outside the metal gate, the freshmen who were late turned pale. They could not help but wail.
"We are going to die!"
"How can we finish running!"
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have applied for the military academy. They're trying to kill us on the first day. Is this hell?"
Wang Teng had a strange expression on his face. He looked sympathetically at the students who were late. Three seconds of silence!
The other freshmen who weren't late sympathized with them, but at the same time, felt a chill in their hearts. They also felt somewhat lucky.
Oh my god, luckily I wasn't late. Otherwise, I would be as miserable as them!
"Silence!"
The middle-aged man shouted. His aura suddenly increased and pressed down on those new students who were late.
He kept quiet out of fear!
The voice disappeared again.
"Start running! Whoever says another word will be fired!" The middle-aged man said coldly.
The freshmen who were late looked at each other and could only accept their fate. A few of them took the lead and ran around the track outside the field.
When the others saw this, they followed one after another. After all, the situation was more powerful than the person. What else could they do but run? Did he want to be fired?
The seniors in the audience secretly laughed. "It's starting, it's starting. Our Huanghai's tradition begins from this moment!"
Seeing the freshmen running around the field, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and said loudly, "You can run if you want to.
"You may run, but listen carefully to what I say!"
"When I'm done, I'll ask random questions. If anyone can't answer, continue running until I'm satisfied."
The freshmen who were late: "…"
Are you a devil?
You must be a devil!
"Let me introduce myself first. I'm the Dean of the Huanghai Military Academy's Martial Arts Faculty — Peng Yuanshan!"
The middle-aged man's voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
They had already experienced his strict methods, so they didn't dare to take any chances. They all focused and listened carefully.
"That was the first lesson I taught you. I hope you will remember it well.
"Some people might ask why the military academy is so strict and even harsh.
"Then I'll tell you why. Your tuition, miscellaneous fees, and normal living expenses are all free. Even Spirit Pills, cultivation techniques, and combat skills are not free. The prices are much cheaper than the outside world. Where do you get all these funds from?
"It's the country!
"The country is nurturing you!
"The poor study while the rich practice martial arts. Many of you come from ordinary families. If you didn't enter a university, it would be difficult for you to achieve anything even if you were extremely talented.
"You will only get what you pay for. This is the principle that doesn't change no matter where you are. Entering the military academy is not for you to enjoy the comfortable life of a university.
"I have to tell you that martial artists, especially martial artists who have graduated from military academies, may be different from what you understand. Martial artists enjoy privileges, but they also bear responsibilities. The country, and even the world, needs martial artists, so martial artists are given everything."
"Students, you are future martial artists. The responsibilities on your shoulders are very heavy!
"Maybe you don't understand now, but one day, you will understand. When this world needs us martial artists, we will stand at the forefront. Behind us are our parents, wives, and children.
"Martial artists are not powerhouses who bear the burden of the sun and moon, but people who bear the burden of all living things!"
…
As Peng Yuanshan's words gradually spread, everyone couldn't help but fall silent.
"President, it's starting again!"
Although the seniors felt heavy in their hearts, they couldn't help but roll their eyes. Was it really good to fool the freshmen like this every year?
"Isn't it just the freshmen training? Why are you making it so emotional?" Wang Teng was a little confused.
"Of course, this is not what you need to think about now. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people holding it up. What you need to do now is to work hard to improve yourselves.
"Since you have chosen the path of martial arts, you must want to stand out and achieve something in the future. So, don't waste your youth.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. You are all adults. You should know what to do." After Peng Yuanshan finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Today's training is equivalent to the entrance ceremony. It's not a big deal. We're just going to talk about the rules and let you experience how Huanghai Military Academy does things."
"Next, there is one last thing … conferring a rank!
"Originally, there was no conferring a rank today, but this year is different. Among you, one of the freshmen will receive this honor!
"You might have heard of this freshman before. He is the top scholar of the Donghai Martial Arts Examination. He passed the examination as a martial artist and was recruited by the academy. He was conferred the rank of 'Sergeant'!"
When Peng Yuanshan finished speaking, even though they were previously shocked, the freshmen below couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
"Conferring a rank?"
"This is impossible …"
