Chapter 174: Captain Fang!
How could he come back!?
Huang Xiaolong stared at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with resentment and indignation.
With only one week left until the military district competition, Fang Yu had disappeared for three whole weeks. Why did he have to return at this time?
If Fang Yu hadn’t returned, Huang Xiaolong would have secured the position of team captain for this competition!
“Excuse me for interrupting your training time, I have something to announce.” Xia Heguang walked in front of the group of team members, with Fang Yu standing behind him.
“As everyone can see, Master Fang has returned. As previously decided, the position of captain will be taken by Master Fang.” As he spoke, Xia Heguang glanced at Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly.
The other team members, having witnessed Fang Yu’s skills, had nothing to say.
“If no one has any objections, Fang Yu will become the captain of our Swift Dragon team. He will lead you to represent our Jiangnan Military District in this competition.” Xia Heguang said solemnly.
Then, Xia Heguang glanced at Huang Xiaolong again and said, “And Lieutenant General Huang Xiaolong will serve as vice-captain, assisting Captain Fang Yu in his work.”
Hearing Xia Heguang’s decision, the team members secretly glanced at Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong kept his head down, showing no reaction.
“Starting today, Captain Fang Yu will conduct special training for you.” Xia Heguang said, shifting his gaze.
Special training?
Hearing these words, all team members looked up at Xia Heguang.
“Next, Captain Fang will explain to you.” Xia Heguang turned to look at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu held a stack of photocopied white papers and handed them to the team members.
“Take one each.” Fang Yu said.
The team members held the papers, looking at the human movement diagrams on them, exchanging confused glances.
“What is this?”
“Does he want us to practice according to these?”
“How can we practice this? These movements are impossible for me to do!”
After looking at the diagrams for a while, the team members discussed among themselves.
Fang Yu smiled and said, “I believe everyone has guessed what my special training content is.”
“That’s right, you need to replicate the movements shown in my drawings.”
“You can choose which diagram to learn.”
Hearing Fang Yu’s words, the team members erupted in chaos.
They hadn’t expected that Fang Yu would really make them learn the movements shown in the diagrams.
How could they do this?
Some team members had already tried but failed.
“How are we supposed to do this!?” The team members complained.
“Some movements are indeed impossible to do by yourself, so you can find someone to help you achieve those positions.” Fang Yu said.
Force the positions?
The team members showed strange expressions.
Following the diagrams, if they forced these positions, wouldn’t their arms break?
Huang Xiaolong threw the paper to the ground and glared at Fang Yu, saying, “Captain Fang, let’s not discuss whether these movements are possible or not. Even if we could do them, what’s the point?”
“We’re participating in the military district competition, competing in combat skills, not performing gymnastics!”
Huang Xiaolong’s words gained support from most team members present.
Indeed, not only were these movements difficult to do, but what would be the point even if they could do them?
Would these make them run faster or become stronger?
If these had no such effects, then what was the purpose of practicing these movements?
“Captain Fang, I know you’re exceptionally skilled and proud. But please respect us team members. We came here and train hard every day for the honor of the Jiangnan Military District, not to be your circus performers!” Huang Xiaolong said sternly.
His words were full of hostility, making the atmosphere turn cold.
Xia Heguang stood aside, slightly squinting his eyes, saying nothing.
The other team members dared not speak at this moment.
Fang Yu looked at Huang Xiaolong and smiled, “These movements indeed look difficult, but they’re very effective in awakening your body’s potential.”
“Awakening potential? I’ve never heard that doing a set of ridiculous movements could awaken physical potential!” Huang Xiaolong sneered.
“How old are you?” Fang Yu suddenly asked.
Huang Xiaolong was stunned, then answered, “Twenty-seven.”
“That explains it. You’re only twenty-seven, there are many things you haven’t heard of. Young man, you should be more humble.” Fang Yu said.
Huang Xiaolong’s expression froze, then anger rose in his chest.
A high school student not even twenty years old was lecturing him about life?
This was blatant mockery and provocation!
The other team members also showed strange expressions.
But Fang Yu was speaking from his heart.
He had lived for five thousand years, knew many things, but there were also many things he didn’t know.
The human brain’s capacity is always limited, while the universe is infinite.
Therefore, Fang Yu not only said this to others but also to himself – one must always be humble.
Thousands of years ago, when his master first taught him this body technique, Fang Yu’s reaction was similar to these team members.
But later, after truly mastering these movements, Fang Yu discovered their effects.
They could awaken the body’s maximum potential.
Of course, to achieve this, one needed to complete all thirty-plus sets of movements and maintain a long-term training habit.
Fang Yu’s current immortal body was inseparable from the foundation laid when practicing this body technique.
“Captain Fang! You make it sound so easy, why don’t you try doing these movements yourself! If you can do them, we naturally won’t have any objections!” Huang Xiaolong said with a dark expression.
“Me? Why should I do it? I’m training you, not the other way around!” Fang Yu smiled faintly and said, “This is my order as captain, you have to do it whether you want to or not.”
All team members present changed their expressions.
A soldier’s duty is to obey orders.
Fang Yu was now their captain, and they naturally couldn’t disobey orders.
Huang Xiaolong gritted his teeth, his fists clenched.
This captain position should have been his!
“Damn Fang Yu! One day I’ll take everything back!”
“That’s it then, figure out how to do any set of movements from the paper, I’ll come to check tomorrow afternoon. Those who can’t do it will be immediately expelled from the team.” Fang Yu said calmly.
Hearing Fang Yu’s words, the team members’ expressions changed again.
They had been training for almost a month, and now they would be expelled just because they couldn’t do these bizarre movements?
This was too unreasonable!
All team members looked toward Xia Heguang standing aside.
Xia Heguang was the general of the Jiangnan Military District, the final decision-making power was in his hands.
But Xia Heguang remained expressionless and silent.
“I’m leaving.” Fang Yu turned around, glanced at Xia Heguang, and walked out.
Xia Heguang gave a deep look at the disgruntled team members and followed.
…
After Fang Yu and Xia Heguang left, the training ground erupted in wails and angry curses.
“This Fang Yu is just messing around, how are we supposed to do this!?”
“Get expelled if we can’t do it!? I’ve been training hard for three weeks, and now I’ll be expelled because I can’t do these stupid movements!?”
“I quit! When he comes to check tomorrow, I just won’t do it, let’s see what he can do to me!”
The team members grew more angry as they talked, some even started cursing Fang Yu.
At this time, one team member said, “Hey, since these movements are impossible anyway, why don’t we all refuse to do them tomorrow! I don’t believe that Fang Yu would really dare to expel all of us!”
“Right, we’ve been training for three weeks, where would they find new team members who could catch up now? He definitely won’t expel us!” another team member agreed.
“Even if he wants to expel us, the general won’t agree!” one team member said.
After a few exchanges, most team members reached a consensus.
They wouldn’t do it!
However, at this moment, Huang Xiaolong still hadn’t expressed his stance.
“Brother Long, you probably won’t do it either, right? We could even use this opportunity to get rid of this Fang Yu!” several team members approached and said.
Huang Xiaolong’s face was dark as he looked at the group and said, “Are you trying to disobey military orders? Didn’t you hear the general say we must completely follow Fang Yu’s orders?”
The team members’ expressions changed.
“We not only have to do these movements, but we must do them well! If you don’t do them, prepare to be expelled!” Huang Xiaolong said coldly, picking up the paper from the ground and starting to try the movements.
The team members looked at Huang Xiaolong in confusion.
What was wrong with Brother Long?
Wasn’t he the one who despised Fang Yu the most?
