Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Fights have been fought, gifts have been given. Now the team members look at Liu Xing with more respect instead of indifference. At this moment, no one wants to leave. With such a strong and responsible captain, so many treasures, and so many ways to save their lives, only a fool would think of leaving. Fighting alone is too dangerous. Seeing that his team finally got together, Liu Xing nodded with satisfaction. But this is far from enough. Teamwork must be done in accordance with the eight words "obey orders and cooperate tacitly", which requires training. These eight words are simple to say, but very difficult to do. For example, in the battle with the ancestor of the Liao family, if Su Yingying had a little more tacit understanding, she would not be seriously injured and dying.

Training for strict compliance consists of three steps: establishing standards, self-discipline, and execution training. Through repetitive training using simple movements, the awareness and purpose of strict compliance are achieved. Standing at attention, while merely a mortal training method, can have a significant impact on training effectiveness.

"Wolf Warrior, you think you can train an elite soldier by making us stand like wooden stakes?" a team member grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"Wolf Ba, are you itching for trouble again?" Liu Xing walked forward and kicked him out without any hesitation, making him eat several mouthfuls of dirt.

"You're my soldiers. You'll train the way I say. No need for all that nonsense!" Liu Xing roared with such force that the team members' eardrums were ringing. They fell silent, trembling in fear. No one dared to sympathize with Lang Ba. The captain was too fierce, and they could be beaten at any time. They couldn't fight him, so they had to obey him.

Attention, at ease, stand at arm's length, squat, look left, look right, look forward, turn left, turn right, turn back, march in place, march in step, march in formation—these few movements are very simple to understand and have nothing to do with a person's physical fitness or magical power, but only with their concentration and awareness. When we first started turning, we often got left and right mixed up; when we first started marching in place, we couldn't figure out which foot to lift first. It was very confusing.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings, can't you even do such a simple move? And you still claim to be the sect's top masters, but I think you are not even as good as ordinary people!" Liu Xing scolded them without any hesitation. Not satisfied yet, those who made a mistake in the move would be kicked in the buttocks or punched in the chest.

Liu Xing scolded and beat everyone without distinction of gender or relationship, and Qian Botong was beaten by him often. In the past three days, even standing at attention was a problem that everyone lost their temper due to the scolding and beatings. It is indeed a simple thing, why can't we move in unison? Everyone reminded themselves to focus, move in standard ways, and keep the same speed as everyone else. Those who moved quickly reminded themselves to slow down, and those who moved slowly reminded themselves to speed up. During the halftime break, the players would remind each other, and in order to maintain the consistency of the collective movements, they would discuss and find a rhythm that suits everyone.

The immortals' physical fitness and self-control were truly a thousand times superior to those of mortals. In just three days, they achieved what would take mortals three to five years of training. Their perfectly aligned movements, their demeanor as firm as a pine tree and as firm as a bell, were a testament to a military parade. Only then did Liu Xing nod in satisfaction, acknowledging the training's success. The Wolf Warriors nodded, their hearts finally at ease. Over these three days, Wolf Warriors had instilled in everyone a deep sense of obedience. Disobedience would result in a beating, and every single one of them received one. Miraculously, the team members had even found a tacit understanding of cooperation.

This group of people are all fighters among roosters, so physical training is unnecessary, but teamwork must be improved. Liu Xing came up with a good idea that is both interesting and can improve teamwork, that is, playing basketball. Liu Xing cleared a piece of land in the valley, built a basketball court, and refined a backboard and a basketball. He explained the rules of the game to the players. Everyone needs to seal their magic power. Liu Xing also needs to reduce physical intensity and divide the game into 50-50 groups. The teams must be reorganized every day so that everyone can find a sense of mutual cooperation. The losing team will massage the shoulders and legs of the winning team. For the sake of face, everyone fights hard.

This game was incredibly fun. Because of the sealed magical powers, everyone was sweating profusely, yet they never tired of it. There were constant shouts of anger, accusations, and laughter, but trust slowly built among them. Wolf Warrior and Wolf One were the best at fighting, but their basketball skills weren't always the same, so they were often scolded. They played this game for over ten days, thoroughly enjoying it. When Liu Xing called a halt, they were still eager to play, so they agreed to play again after completing their missions and when they had free time. Their admiration for Liu Xing grew; these were completely unheard of tricks, and they wondered where the captain's intuition had come from. They were astonished to discover that after just two weeks of standing at attention and playing basketball, a level of trust had subtly built.

Time was short, and Liu Xing had to seize the moment to quickly develop team combat effectiveness. He immediately began the third training exercise: a multi-scenario simulation exercise. Liu Xing also brought his spiritual awareness, magical power, and physical body to the same level as everyone else, participating in the exercises and confrontations. The exercises covered a wide range of subjects, including reconnaissance, infiltration, concealment, ambush, rescue, encirclement and annihilation, breakout, joint attack, and individual combat. He rehearsed every imaginable scenario, one subject per day. Simultaneously, Liu Xing facilitated regular debriefings and discussions, developing several scenarios for each possible scenario to facilitate contingency on the battlefield. He then had everyone practice these pre-defined scenarios repeatedly until they were thoroughly familiar with them.

Gradually, everyone noticed that after training, their ability to coordinate and fight together had significantly improved. Before training, each team member had worked independently, which would have been a chaotic mess. After training, they were now fully prepared for any possible combat scenarios, with clear division of labor and effective combat effectiveness. At this point, everyone understood Liu Xing's earlier purpose in having everyone stand at attention and play basketball. An effective team must be based on mutual trust and strict adherence to orders, which is the prerequisite for achieving tacit and seamless coordination.

After a month of arduous training, the wolf pack finally began to function as a team. Further improvement would require constant battle. Liu Xing finally felt a sense of peace of mind. This team was now a battle-ready force. Previously, even with the entire team, he wouldn't have been as effective alone. Now, even with his full strength, he wouldn't dare to stand up to the combined might of nine men. Only then did the team members truly gain Liu Xing's respect.

The other teams were also working hard to integrate, but they were using different methods and achieving different results. Commander Lu seemed to have deliberately given everyone a month, without assigning any tasks during this month.
