The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

After saying this, the recruiting officer trotted towards the City Lord's Mansion. It was unknown what he said to the guard at the door of the City Lord's Mansion. After a while, he entered the City Lord's Mansion, leaving behind the few soldiers who had just been beside him to encourage him, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zeng Wenyu had no idea what the recruiting officer had said to the City Lord's Mansion. He had just walked out of the recruitment office with the sturdy soldier when he saw the young man running towards him happily: "Brother, have you signed up? I'll tell you, how could someone as strong as you not be here to join the army!"

At this point, the young man looked curiously at the soldier who was being pulled over by Zeng Wenyu: "What's your name, big brother? My name is Huo Xiang, and we are comrades from now on."

When the young man asked his name, the soldier finally reacted. He quickly broke free from Zeng Wenyu's hand holding his arm, straightened his body, and put on a majestic expression: "I am the instructor of you new recruits! You can call me Instructor Guo!"

"Ah? Oh! Hello, Instructor Guo!" Huo Xiang straightened up immediately.

"There's no need to be so serious in private. In private, we are all comrades, brothers who eat meat and drink together. Just call me Guo Tie," Guo Tie waved to Huo Xiang and then looked at Zeng Wenyu with a complicated expression, "Brother, you are very strong. I, Guo Tie, have more than 200 pounds of flesh. You said you would pull me and I would walk, and it was so easy. Do you also do physical training normally?"

"Well, Brother Guo, you can just call me Xiao Gao. I don't have enough talent for Qi training. I trained my body without telling anyone at home. Now I can be considered to have made some progress, but I'm still far behind you, Brother Guo. Far behind."

"Brother Gao, don't be so modest. The generals in our barracks can't even drag me with one hand. How can you say that you have made some progress? Can you please speak properly? Don't use those empty words. Just tell me, how much strength did you use when you pulled me just now?"

This question really stumped Zeng Wenyu. If he told the truth and said that he had not used even 10% of his strength, it would not only disappoint the "instructor" in front of him, but would also expose his own strength. However, if he said that he had used all his strength without breaking a sweat, the other party would definitely not believe it. After thinking about it for a while, Zeng Wenyu reported 50% in order to avoid attracting too much attention.

"Okay! Okay! Fifty percent of your strength, your strength is almost catching up with our general. Don't worry, in addition to learning practical skills in the next two days, you don't have to train with the new recruits. We will handle special matters specially. After all, you will go to the battlefield in a few days. Improving your strength is the serious matter first! Come on, brother Gao, follow me, I will take you to the real camp first..."

At this point, Guo Tie was about to take Zeng Wenyu away, which made Huo Xiang, who was standing next to him, a little unbalanced: "Instructor Guo, Instructor Guo, what about me? I have quite a bit of strength too! How about you take me to the military camp first? I've wanted to go to the barracks for a long time."

"You?" Guo Tie took a look at Huo Xiang's physique. "How about this, don't say I don't have a chance. There's a table over there. Let's have an arm wrestling match. If you can hold out for ten seconds in my hands, I'll take you with me, how about that?"

After saying this, Guo Tie took the lead and walked to the stone table and sat on the stool. Huo Xiang was delighted when he heard this. He walked over in two or three steps, saying, "You said this, Instructor Guo. Brother Gao, you have to testify for me. If Instructor Guo denies it, we will go to the Military Discipline Office to file a complaint against him."

"Huh? I didn't expect you to know so much. Don't worry, I, Guo Tie, always keep my word. Come on, let me see if you have the ability to brag!"

Guo Tie put his right elbow on the stone table and got ready. Huo Xiang did the same. Neither of them asked for a referee. The "war" began as soon as their hands touched.

But it is obvious that Huo Xiang's strength is not as good as Guo Tie's. After the two people held hands together, it can be seen that Huo Xiang's hand is being suppressed little by little. It is obvious that Guo Tie wants to let Huo Xiang see his strength, and wants to set the ten-second mark to make the back of Huo Xiang's hand touch the stone table.

Huo Xiang's face had turned red. He had already used all his strength, but the back of his hand was still getting closer to the table. Only then did he admit defeat to Guo Tie in front of him. He chose to admit defeat before ten seconds had passed.

Seeing Huo Xiang's frustrated face after losing, Guo Tie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you have a good physique, but haven't we, the people guarding the border city, been exposed to some body-refining herbs since childhood? Although we are not those real body-refining cultivators, the training methods of the people in the military camp and the people in the border city are different. We were all raised with a lot of exercise and herbs, and what about you? After all, this world is still a world of Qi-refining cultivators. Even the people in the border city want to train their children to Qi-refining when they train them. Even we actually yearn for Qi-refining. The generals and great generals have also switched from body-refining to Qi-refining. This is no secret in the military camp. After all, body-refining is not a good way out in this world..."

Even though Guo Tie said this to Huo Xiang, his mood was still not very good. He sat there with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. Guo Tie knew that after his self-confidence was hit, only he could get it back, so he didn't say much and prepared to leave with Zeng Wenyu.

"Brother Guo, why don't I go to the new recruits camp first? After all, they will be my comrades in the future. If I treat them so specially, they will inevitably feel resentful."

Zeng Wenyu and Guo Tie walked a few steps and finally refused Guo Tie to take him directly to the camp. He apologized to Guo Tie and walked to Huo Xiang's side. He stretched out his hand and patted him on the back. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke: "Xiao Huo, you can't let it go? Where is the enthusiasm when you chose to join the army? You haven't already signed up, so you want to back out now, right?"

"Brother Gao, how can you say that! Since I have signed up, I am a soldier guarding the border city. How can I be a deserter? Deserting is shameful!"

"Then what are you worried about? Isn't it normal that Coach Guo is better than you? He joined the army many years earlier than you, how can you compare with him?"

"how about you?"

"Me? I'm gifted!"

"Pooh!"

"Alright, alright, stop worrying about it. Do you know where the recruit camp is? If you know, take me with you."

"You were not... Coach Guo..."

"Tsk, what's the point of hanging out with a bunch of old men? They're not energetic at all. It's better to hang out with you young people. It makes me look younger! Let's go, Xiao Huo, how about joining us?"

"Brother Gao! You're not even necessarily older than me, how can you call me Xiao Huo?"

"I may not be older than you, but I am more handsome than you!"

"you!"
