61. On the eve of training
"Hahaha, indeed, time flies. But let me make this clear from the start, Xiao Tian, now that you've come to this youth training camp, I won't go easy on you. On the contrary, I know your level, and I will definitely hold you to the highest standards. Don't give up!" The middle-aged man in the tower, Han Hu, said to Ling Bingtian.
"Of course, I couldn't be happier." Upon hearing this, Ling Bingtian also became serious, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Han Hu, and said in a deep voice.
"Good, that's quite the spirit, almost exactly like your father back then. In that case, you can go down now. I'll have Xiaobai take you to your tents, and formal training will begin tomorrow."
Hearing Ling Bingtian's words, Han Hu's expression gradually returned to calm, and his imposing aura returned. After calmly praising Ling Bingtian, he waved his hand, signaling Bai Ying to lead Ling Bingtian and the other two away.
Based on their current level, Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao are not qualified to have a conversation with him.
Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao knew Ye Menqing's intentions, so they didn't try to talk to Han Hu and silently left with Ling Bingtian and Bai Ying.
Han Hu didn't see them off. Instead, he sat down silently, picked up the strong tea he had brewed earlier, took a sip, and watched the departing figures of the others, falling into deep thought.
……
After leaving Han Hu, Bai Ying led Ling Bingtian and the other two to the entrance of a camp in no time.
"Young Master, this is your camp." Bai Ying bowed respectfully and then silently withdrew, leaving Ling Bingtian and the others alone to face the camp.
On the way here, Bai Ying explained the living conditions in the training camp to Ling Bingtian and the other two.
In all the camps, apart from the tents for the generals and instructors, the trainees and logistics personnel each lived in a tent of four, and they had to take care of their own daily lives.
Ling Bingtian and his group arrived relatively late this time, and they were divided into four camps in front of them.
So there are only the three of them in this tent now. As for whether there will be a fourth person, it depends on whether anyone else comes to report.
Ling Bingtian nodded his thanks to Bai Ying for her kindness, and then Bai Ying bowed and took her leave.
Before parting, Ling Bingtian told Bai Ying that she should come find him after their new recruit training period ended. He said that an opportunity would be given to her then.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying knew that she must have gained Ling Bingtian's attention, and he wanted to cultivate her in certain aspects.
Isn't this exactly what she wanted?
Become stronger, protect your family, and be loyal to the Ling family.
Immediately, Bai Ying excitedly thanked Ling Bingtian for his attention and left happily.
"Young Master, is it Bai Ying?" Wang Dayu, who had a similar experience, asked Ling Bingtian as he watched the girl's departing figure.
"Hmm, her talent is comparable to yours. Don't let her surpass you." Ling Bingtian glanced at Wang Dayu. To be honest, with his laziness, anything is possible.
"No, young master!"
Provoked by Ling Bingtian's words, Wang Dayu's nose turned red with anxiety, and he shouted loudly to show his determination.
"I think it's hard to say."
However, Yuan Chao coldly remarked from the side, his face bearing a mocking smile that made Wang Dayu jump up in anger.
"You little brat—"
Wang Dayu was furious when he saw Yuan Chao's familiar mocking face. He went up and tried to grab Yuan Chao by the throat.
"Alright, stop fooling around, let's go inside and clean up." Ling Bingtian pressed down on the restless Wang Dayu and said in a deep voice.
This isn't the Ling family home; it's not a place for the two of them to fool around.
As soon as Ling Bingtian spoke, the two of them fell silent, realizing that this was not their home, but a youth training camp similar to a military camp!
If someone causes trouble in the military camp, they'll lose several heads.
Having spent two years at the Ling family home and attending classes there, the two of them possessed some basic military knowledge.
Immediately, the two stopped what they were doing and silently followed Ling Bingtian into their tent.
Upon entering the tent, Ling Bingtian saw four cots neatly placed in the center of the tent, with tables and cabinets for cultivation next to them. Overall, the environment was quite good.
All four beds were empty, showing no signs of having been tidied up.
'It seems there are only three of us in this tent right now,' Ling Bingtian thought to himself, but his hands moved quickly as he picked up a broom from in front of the tent and began to sweep.
At the same time, he also assigned tasks to Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao.
"Big Fish, you go wipe the cabinets. Chao, you go wipe the bed and table. We'll make the bed after I mop the floor."
"Young Master, we'll do it. You can rest on the side." Yuan Chao was shocked to see Ling Bingtian start sweeping the floor.
In his view, these were all jobs that servants should do! How could Ling Bingtian, as the eldest son of the family head, do such work?
Wang Dayu nodded repeatedly, looking at Ling Bingtian in surprise.
"Alright, alright, we're all buddies, don't say such bullshit. Now, we're comrades-in-arms, and in the future, we'll be brothers. There's no distinction of rank or status. Don't say things like that again."
Ling Bingtian waved his hand and responded to Yuan Chao's words in a deep voice.
Having memories of his past life, he dislikes dividing people's identities into such detailed categories.
If he has the ability in the future, he will try to make changes. But for now, he can start by making changes to the people around him.
"This..." Yuan Chao wanted to persuade him further, but seeing Ling Bingtian's face gradually darken, Yuan Chao dared not say anything more.
He could only listen to Ling Bingtian and started taking a rag to borrow ice water from Wang Dayu to wipe the bed.
Wang Dayu didn't dare to say much. He could only condense a few irregular ice blocks in his hand, then take out a basin from his storage soul tool, put the ice blocks in the basin to melt, and then wash the rag with water.
Seeing this, Ling Bingtian wasn't entirely satisfied. For the past two years, he had been trying to change the two's mindset of prioritizing superiors over subordinates, but with little success.
"I hope I can succeed in the future." Ling Bingtian sighed helplessly in his heart and continued with his work.
With their martial arts skills, the three of them worked very quickly. In about a quarter of an hour, the entire tent was cleaned and the three of them even made up their beds.
After making the beds, the three of them, led by Ling Bingtian, resumed their daily cultivation.
First, he stood in the stance for half an hour, and then practiced martial arts techniques for half an hour.
After completing an hour of basic training, the three of them, their stomachs growling with hunger, went out and found the tent that served as their mess hall, where they satisfied their food needs.
Back in the tent, seeing that the last bed was still empty, Ling Bingtian realized that there were only 19 people left in this year's class.
"That's good, so that someone with insufficient martial arts talent won't be able to integrate into our group."
With this thought in mind, Ling Bingtian, after washing up, entered a meditative state for the night.
Tomorrow is when formal training begins.
