When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 37 New Skill: Claw Knife Technique!
As expected, Class 1 won first place in the entire company in the equipment assessment.

Kaiyumu single-handedly raised the average score of the entire platoon by a significant margin!
Xu Ge only found out after the exam that the passing standard was 16 points, and that Du Hu and Kaiyoumu had tricked them into raising the standard by 8 points!
Every new recruit in the class was working their butt off to pull 24 people, and Xu Ge even pulled more than 30. It would be strange if he didn't get first place.

With less than half an hour until lunchtime, Liu Guoping decided to let everyone have free time in the equipment area.
The squad leaders egged each other on, each wanting the other to go up and perform an eight-lap rotation for the new recruits.

As each class leader went up to demonstrate, cheers and applause rose and fell.

"Second brother is awesome, let's have another one, let everyone hear the sound of the bar!"

"Kaiyumu, isn't your specialty a backflip while saluting on the bar? Show us!"

"Look over here, look over here! Squad Leader Eight is about to perform a one-handed deadlift!"

"Wow!"

The National Day holiday starts tomorrow, and everyone is in a great mood. In addition, the cadres don't seem to care, so all the veterans are showing off their special skills.

The new recruits were dazzled by what they saw, constantly shouting "Holy crap, awesome!"

"Xu Ge, do you have that old Wang's phone number from last time?"

Xu Ge was watching intently when Li Dongshui arrived.
"After the squad leader distributes the phones tonight, have him bring over a bottle of spray for sprains."

"Didn't the squad leader give you safflower oil?" Xu Ge asked without turning his head.

Li Dongshui frowned: "The smell is awful, and it doesn't have any effect after applying it."

"It's just being dramatic, it's not serious. You can take a few days off and rest, won't you be fine?"

"I'll treat you to cantaloupe!"

"make a deal!"

Xu Ge then smiled and agreed, "Then I'll have Old Wang pick out the most expensive ones to give you..."

"Xu Ge!"

Suddenly someone shouted on the playground.

"To!"

Xu Ge turned his head and saw Luo Shan waving at him, so he quickly ran over.

"Platoon leader!"

"Ok!"

Luo Shan gestured for Xu Ge to follow him as they walked and talked. "Xu Ge, why did you go back to pull Li Dongshui up during the 5000-meter race today? I heard you were in the lead!"

Xu Ge didn't know why Luo Shan suddenly asked this question, so he replied truthfully, "I saw the squad leader pulling Zhang Haoyu, and Li Dongshui was lagging behind. I don't know why I went back to help."

"Isn't it because they don't want us to be ranked last?"

"Platoon leader, to be honest, I really didn't think of that at the time. It was only when Li Dongshui reminded me that I remembered."

Luo Shan glanced at Xu Ge and suddenly changed the subject.

Have you been practicing shouting commands lately?

"Yes, I paid attention when the squad leader was directing the training, and now I know almost all the commands for those squad drills!"

"Heh, I knew you were a shrewd little devil."

Luo Shan stopped in his tracks. "Come on, call me."

"Platoon leader, what are you doing, just shouting?"

"I'll cooperate with your actions, okay?" Luo Shan said irritably.

Xu Ge was taken aback: "Platoon leader, didn't you say you'd wait until I got first place..."

Luo Shan's face hardened: "This is your only chance. Are you going to shout or not?"

"Shout! Shout! Platoon leader, I'll shout!" Xu Ge said hurriedly, then loudly issued the order.

Regardless of what Luo Shan was thinking, since the other party had taken the initiative to ask, he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

"turn right!"

"Forward march!"

Snapped!
Luo Shan performed a standard turn, then swung his arms and walked forward.

The token appeared automatically, and Xu Ge was overjoyed. Sure enough, he could draw skills from the platoon leader!
[Military orders are 100% executed. You may randomly acquire one of the opponent's skills. Do you wish to draw it immediately?]

"Draw Now!" [New skill randomly drawn - Claw Blade Technique, maximum level: Advanced. Activate skill slot?]

"What is Claw Blade Technique? Never mind, it's a high-level skill anyway, let's unlock it first!"

Claw Knife Technique: Beginner (1/5).

As the relevant memories surfaced in his mind, Xu Ge immediately knew what a claw knife was.

"Isn't this the tempered claw knife from the game?!"

. . .

. . .

Luo Shan called Xu Ge over because he wanted to reward the kid by giving him some practice, since he had helped the first platoon win first place in the 5000-meter race.

Most importantly, this kid also knows how to help his comrades who are lagging behind.

Luo Shan naturally wanted to encourage this positive momentum.

At this moment, he was marching in step according to Xu Ge's orders, but as he walked, he felt something was wrong. They were almost at the canteen, but he still hadn't heard the order to stand at attention.

Looking back, I saw that guy was just standing there, lost in thought.

"Xu Ge!"

"To!"

"Get the hell over here!" Luo Shan shouted, his face dark.

Xu Ge snapped out of his daze and realized that the platoon leader was already dozens of meters away from him. He thought to himself, "Oh no!" and quickly ran over.

"Can't you shout 'Halt'?" Luo Shan asked, suppressing his anger.

Xu Ge: "I can."

"So you're just messing with me on purpose, aren't you?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Shan lost his temper and reached out to grab the boy's ear.

Xu Ge was still processing the memories of the Claw Knife Technique in his mind when he saw an arm suddenly reach out. He instinctively raised his right arm to block the attack and placed his left hand under his right chin.

This is one of the standard starting stances of the Claw Knife Technique, with the right fist loosely clenched as if grasping something.

Provoked by Xu Ge's posture, Luo Shan threw a left hook straight at Xu Ge's liver without thinking. Just as it was about to hit, he realized what was happening and quickly withdrew his fist.

Xu Ge felt a blur before his eyes, and it felt as if the lower right side of his chest had been blown by the wind.

"You've practiced claw knives?" Luo Shan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Huh?... Oh, right!" Xu Ge replied vaguely, a little confused.

"Who taught you this?"

"I just learned it from watching movies and videos," Xu Ge made up an excuse.

"You just learned it by mistake?" Luo Shan was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back. "Then show me what you've learned."

"Oh!"

Xu Ge casually waved his arms a few times, making a few simple tearing, cutting, hooking, and slicing motions, based on his memory.

Luo Shan's expression turned serious.

He could tell that Xu Ge's movements were very clumsy, and he was indeed a novice. However, the angle of each of his attacks was very accurate, and he also knew how to use footwork to assist.

To be able to learn like this from movies and videos means that the other person has a very high level of fighting talent!
"Platoon leader, that's all I know for now," Xu Ge said honestly, standing still after gesturing.

Luo Shan looked Xu Ge up and down for a while, then suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen a real claw knife?"

Xu Ge shook his head.

"Do you want to learn?"

"Of course I do!"

“Alright, when Kaiyoumu comes to see me later, you can come along too,” Luo Shan said. “I’m not on duty next month, and I happen to know a little bit about this, so I can teach you.”

"Yes! Thank you, Platoon Leader!" Xu Ge was overjoyed.
