Chapter 834: Vol V Chapter 194

The warm-up exercises didn’t take much time. About half an hour or so later, the trainees were already soaked to the skin and breathing heavily as they began to feel fatigue setting in.

Sui Xiong got the trainees who were utterly exhausted to walk slowly along the running track and to recover a little as they waited for those who were not tired enough.

As a result, the wait was extended to another half an hour.

Among this group of trainees, there were quite a few who had amazing endurance. Though they were not as strong as the others, their level of endurance was so high that it was beyond imagination. While everyone’s training intensity was similar, they could somehow just manage to persevere for almost twice the time.

This meant that if everyone were to fight each other, perhaps they would not be able to gain an edge within a short period of time. But so long as the fighting lasted long enough, when the battle developed into a protracted war, sooner or later, they could rely on their endurance to wear down their enemies. At the same level of combat, the advantage they had in endurance was almost invincible.

Sui Xiong kept their training habits and physical conditions in mind. Then he began the first round of training for them.

The training program was, of course, according to the experience provided by Leonard.

The first was to use his Divine Power to wash their bodies. This would be a little painful, after all, as there was not a single follower of Sui Xiong among them—Sui Xiong had purposely made the selections as such to avoid making any mistakes in the stage of using Divine Power to wash up. For humans who didn’t believe in Sui Xiong, if their bodies were to be washed with his Divine Power, it was probably equivalent to having their muscles pricked by several thin needles—perhaps not as strong, but at least it would be somewhat similar.

After a wash, the fatigue was gone. But most of them were drenched to their skin, as though they had been fished out of the water.

It was painful.

I’ve still used too much force. I’ll have to reduce it next time.

Sui Xiong made a mental note to himself. Then he urged them to soak themselves in a medicated bath, as well as to drink something by the way.

This was where he was different from Leonard. Sui Xiong did not completely agree with Leonard’s training method. And he did not want to train them into elite soldiers where just one of them was worth a hundred soldiers. Instead, with the help of training, he wished to help these mid-ranked warriors break through their own bottlenecks and push their strength up a notch.

So as compared to the wide variety of training, he paid more attention to the combination of work and rest, as well as appropriate nutrition and supplements.

The medicated bath was prepared in an artificial hot spring. The sulfurous smell of the hot spring masked the medicated smell, leaving the mentally exhausted trainees completely unsuspecting of the water they were lying within. Similarly, their drinks were also specially made. The magic infused into the sugary saline would be absorbed by them. This would improve their physique.

An hour later, the rejuvenated trainees began with the second part of the training program. That would be the training of array formation.

Although he had no intention of training an army, Sui Xiong was still agreeable with the training of array formation. “Discipline” was necessary for everyone, especially for these warriors who were likely to grow up to reach a high level. Discipline training would be able to strengthen solidarity among them. In the future, they would become more loyal to their work and to the country.

These warriors were born with stronger innate abilities as compared to those soldiers. Training in array formation was not difficult for them at all. But seeing the neat formation they were in, Sui Xiong could not help shaking his head.

They did not truly foster “team” bonding, but rather, with their abilities of outstanding observation and rapid response, they managed to portray the image of a team.
