Li Yannian had mixed feelings during this process. He realized that the skills he had accumulated on how to "ask for help" were quickly being learned by Qi Rui. If you wanted to ask for help, you had to make the person being asked happy. It wasn't easy to make someone happy. For example, helping the teacher clean the blackboard, fetching water for the teacher. For example, adjusting the teacher's chair. In Li Yannian's experience, these were small things, but the impact on the individual was far greater than it seemed.
Although Qi Rui was quiet, when Li Yannian used his skills, the playboy quickly learned the essence of it. Moreover, Qi Rui obviously avoided the parts that Li Yannian had already intervened in. Qi Rui made adjustments in opening and closing the windows, adjusting the kettle, and so on. However, from the perspective of making the teacher's class more comfortable, Qi Rui's approach was the same as Li Yannian's.
If it was just this, Li Yannian wouldn't feel too much. After all, Qi Rui was learning after Li Yannian. In the process of learning, Li Yannian quickly discovered Qi Rui's characteristics. He would always apply what the teacher said on the first day to the next day. On the second day, he would ask the teacher about the problems he encountered that day and his ideas to solve them.
The problems encountered in the same work were similar. Qi Rui used this method of reviewing the old to learn the new, so the teacher's lecture could be very targeted. The students also felt the same way. In this way, the efficiency of teaching was greatly improved. With Qi Rui taking the lead, the students followed his pace. The core problems they encountered at work were never solved. Gradually, it became whether they could better adjust their mentality to face this kind of work that required patience.
Next, the morning exercises, 20 minutes of exercise starting at 10 am, lunch break, and afternoon exercise were all fully utilized under Qi Rui's guidance. The frustration accumulated during work disappeared after a period of effective exercise. Everyone's understanding of exercise deepened a lot.
Although Li Yannian admired Qi Rui in his heart, there was a feeling of antagonism that only increased. Based on Li Yannian's experience, the reason why he did this was to get closer to his teacher. The more the teacher explained, the more Li Yannian could feel, more than others. The teacher's specific guidance to Li Yannian allowed him to see the light.
Qi Rui's way of doing things was undoubtedly full of the style of a young master, and those precious tips were popularized to everyone. Li Yannian didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but Li Yannian felt a sense of "danger". In the past, his teacher's attention had disappeared.
Soldiers were not civil officials. They had to do statistical work, and daily training couldn't be neglected. The technical progress was obvious, so the team adjusted to work half the time and train half the time. Li Yannian's dissatisfaction with Qi Rui deepened. Qi Rui's training method was obviously different from the others. For example, when doing sit-ups, most people would raise their entire upper body. After sitting up straight, they would continue to lean forward until their head touched their knees. Qi Rui held onto one end of the towel with both hands. The middle of the towel was wrapped around his neck, leaving only his upper body slightly off the ground. This method wasn't deviant, but the military preferred a more forceful style. This method was no longer the mainstream in many grass-roots units.
"Opportunist!" Li Yannian defined Qi Rui in his heart.
Opportunists were all very cunning people. When Qi Rui completed all the training programs in a very efficient way, Li Yannian thought that Qi Rui was slacking off. Why was it that when others were sweating like rain, this Young Master was calm and composed? When the assassination training began, Li Yannian felt that his opportunity had come. Assassination was what Li Yannian was most proficient in. In his unit, when it came to assassination skills, he was recognized as the best. He was the military's model. In every military demonstration, Li Yannian would be chosen. In this field, he finally had a chance to let this young master know how powerful he was.
When it was time to divide into groups, Li Yannian chose to be in the same group as Qi Rui. After putting on the stabbing suit, Li Yannian and Qi Rui both picked up the training wooden sticks. When the two sticks touched each other according to the rules, Li Yannian felt that something was wrong. As an elite bayonet expert, he could feel too many things with just a touch. Li Yannian realized that Qi Rui's strength was not below his. His control over his strength was at a level that Li Yannian had never seen before.
When the assassination was practiced to a high level, people often used the phrase "the bayonet is like a living thing." This was something that only experts could understand. A rifle with a bayonet could draw all kinds of nimble lines in the hands. It was as if it was no longer a combination of hard wood and metal, but a weapon that could change at will.
With just a touch of the wooden stick, Li Yannian felt as if his opponent's feet had grown from the ground. There was no time to think. With a command, the training began.
The sounds of the other soldiers' wooden sticks colliding could be heard one after another. Li Yannian and Qi Rui's wooden sticks didn't collide much. The two's assassination movements were constantly changing, and they stopped when they were appropriate. It wasn't that the two were being polite to each other. Before the next movement began, the two saw that the other was not only prepared to break it, but also had a way to counterattack. Of course, the two didn't want to fall into the enemy's trap and immediately adjusted. The adjustment of one side brought about changes in the other's response. Probing and counter-probing came one after another.
The assassin trainer's face was slightly red. As an expert, he didn't expect to see such a high-level battle on the training ground. He no longer cared about the others. He held his breath and focused on the mock battle.
Li Yannian was shocked. He never thought that he would meet such an opponent among the young masters. Assassination was an arduous task that required months and years of training. Since joining the army, Li Yannian had long been used to practicing every day. His gun never left his hand for more than ten years, which made him what he was today. A fair-skinned young master would also train hard for more than ten years? Li Yannian thought it was nonsense.
Staring closely at Qi Rui's movements, Li Yannian was ready to fight. Bayonet combat and bayonet training were fundamentally different. On a battlefield with enemies everywhere, if the two of them were entangled for such a long time, the other side's comrades would already be stabbing them from behind with bayonets. The three-man bayonet team of the Liberation Army was particular about protecting each other. Even if it was one-on-one bayonet training, Li Yannian didn't want to drag it to a point where it would lose its meaning in actual combat.
At this moment, Qi Rui actually made the first move. The wooden stick in his hand was no longer fancy. With a sudden lunge, the wooden stick in Qi Rui's hand stabbed toward Li Yannian's chest at an astonishing speed. Li Yannian didn't hesitate to stab Qi Rui's chest first. With a thud, the front end of Qi Rui's wooden stick had already hit Li Yannian's chest.
With the impact, Li Yannian suddenly felt like all his hopes had turned to dust. It wasn't just because Qi Rui's wooden stick stabbed him first. Qi Rui lowered his shoulders and slid away, cleverly avoiding the stab that Li Yannian thought would at least end in mutual destruction.
The assassination technique that he was so proud of had lost so completely. It was as if the pillar that supported Li Yannian had collapsed. The fact that he had lost to a young master made Li Yannian feel like all his hopes had turned to dust. The whole world seemed to have lost its reason.
"Clap, clap …" "Good!" The instructor of the assassination technique applauded and cheered loudly. Such an exciting assassination battle hadn't been seen for many years. The Liberation Army was paying more and more attention to weapons. The general trend was toward "the more muzzles, the more righteous, and the thicker the barrel, the more democratic." Bayonet combat had already been considered a last resort. Because of this, the instructor, who felt that the world was no longer the way it used to be, was almost moved to tears when he saw the bayonet combat that far exceeded the standard of the past.
If the Liberation Army on the battlefield could have such a standard of bayonet assassination technique, the enemy would definitely be defeated. If the instructor had watched Japanese cartoons from the 21st century, he would probably have shouted excitedly, "Dismantling Gundam with your bare hands!"
Regardless of the feelings of the two opponents, the instructor and the students all cheered loudly for this incomparably exciting battle. It was easy to imagine what would happen after that. In order to allow the students to learn more powerful bayonet techniques, Li Yannian and Qi Rui practiced many times again. With these two living teaching materials, the instructor let the two of them practice the entire set of bayonet assassination techniques from start to finish. He explained in detail from the footwork, posture, and force exertion method.
The other students exchanged blows with Qi Rui and Li Yannian one by one. Then, they deeply experienced the power of these two bayonet experts. The same moves, the same techniques, in the hands of the two, could precisely display the essence of the moves and techniques. It wasn't that the techniques were useless, but that no one understood the essence of these techniques at all.
The instructor, who was able to fully display the profound content of the bayonet combat, was a little hoarse from all the shouting. All the students were drenched in sweat from the training. When it was time to rest, the instructor asked Li Yannian excitedly, "Student Li, how long have you been practicing the bayonet?"
After exercising for such a long time, Li Yannian's mood had also eased quite a bit. He answered, "Fifteen years."
"Student Qi, how long have you been practicing?" The instructor turned his head and asked Qi Rui, who was fully stretched after exercising.
Qi Rui thought for a moment and answered, "I started with the Chain Spear Technique. If we count from that time, I've been practicing for twenty-two years."
"You're from the same sect!" The instructor suddenly realized.
Even though it wasn't easy for his emotions to fluctuate violently after a large amount of exercise, Li Yannian's heart was still greatly shaken. Qi Rui had practiced for seven years more than him, which explained the reason for Li Yannian's failure. But a young master could actually endure such hardship. This matter itself made Li Yannian feel that the world was very strange.
