Siheyuan: I, Shazhu, started out as an army and became a general.

Three days later, He Yuzhu, carrying simple luggage, came to the conscription office again.

The courtyard was already packed with people, all of them new recruits.

There were workers, farmers, and students, mostly between eighteen and twenty years old, their faces showing both excitement and nervousness.

When He Yuzhu stood in the crowd, his 1.82-meter height and calm demeanor immediately made him the center of attention.

"This guy doesn't look young."

"You're almost 30, right? What's the point of joining the army at that age?"

"Could it be that he couldn't make it outside and came to the army to freeload?"

The surrounding murmurs weren't loud, but every word reached He Yuzhu's ears. He remained expressionless, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.

"Stand up straight, all of you!"

A thunderous shout came from the courtyard gate.

A dark-skinned, muscular middle-aged officer, as strong as a cheetah, strode in, followed by several equally spirited soldiers.

"My name is Chen Gang, and I'm your company commander!"

Chen Gang's voice was so loud it was frightening, making several new recruits' ears ring.

"From this moment forward, you are glorious soldiers of the People's Liberation Army!"

"but!"

He abruptly changed the subject, his piercing gaze sweeping over everyone.

"To be a qualified soldier, passion alone is useless; you need real skills!"

"Over the next three months, I'll train you bunch of green bean sprouts into iron warriors ready to go to the battlefield and slaughter the enemy!"

"Anyone who's afraid of hardship or fatigue can get the hell out of here right now!"

The entire room fell silent; no one dared to move.

Chen Gang nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, looks like you're not a coward. Now everyone, line up according to height and get ready to board!"

The new recruits were immediately thrown into chaos, frantically searching for their positions.

He Yuzhu is 1.82 meters tall, so he naturally stood at the front of the line.

A young man, as thin as a bamboo pole, stood beside him with a pair of shrewd eyes and approached him.

"Hey buddy, my name is Zhang Xiaowu, I'm from Beijing."

"He Yuzhu".

"You look really strong, have you been training?" Zhang Xiaowu asked with curiosity.

He Yuzhu shook his head.

Zhang Xiaowu wanted to ask more questions, but Chen Gang's roar rang out again.

"Shut the fuck up! Get in the car!"

A group of people were pushed and shoved into several Jiefang brand trucks.

The truck drove out of the city and bumped along the dirt road for more than three hours before finally turning into a barren mountain valley.

We've arrived at the recruit camp.

A few rows of simple barracks, a yellow earthen drill ground, surrounded by barren mountains.

"Everyone, get off the bus! Assemble on the playground within five minutes!"

At Chen Gang's command, the new recruits jumped down in a panic.

Five minutes later, several rows of people stood crookedly on the playground.

Chen Gang walked to the front of the line with a dark face, laughing angrily.

"With your kind of behavior, you want to go to the battlefield? Are you just going to be the enemy's casualties?"

"Starting today, I'll get up at 5 a.m. every morning and do a 5-kilometer trail run!"

"Two hours of drills after breakfast, then two hours of tactics!"

"Shooting and physical training in the afternoon, and political study in the evening!"

"Anyone who dares to slack off or try to cheat me, don't blame me for showing you why the flowers are so red!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several new recruits turned pale on the spot.

"Reporting, Company Commander!" A strong, resonant voice suddenly rang out.

Chen Gang narrowed his eyes: "Speak!"

He Yuzhu stepped out of the queue.

"Company Commander, can we begin training now?"

There was a two-second silence, followed by a burst of laughter.

"Is this guy an idiot? Is he out of his mind?"

"You've just arrived and you're already eager to show off? Are you desperate to steal the spotlight?"

Chen Gang didn't laugh; his sharp eyes scanned He Yuzhu up and down.

"What's your name?"

"He Yuzhu!"

Why do you want to start now?

"Company Commander, I want to hone my skills as soon as possible so I can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy!"

Chen Gang stared at him intently for a full ten seconds.

"good!"

He turned around abruptly and pointed to the horizontal bar by the playground.

"Everyone, you better keep a close eye on me!"

"He Yuzhu, go do a hundred pull-ups for me!"

"If you don't finish, you're skipping dinner tonight!"

wow——

The group of new recruits instantly erupted into chaos.

One hundred pull-ups? Are you kidding me? That's killing someone!

He Yuzhu didn't even frown, and strode towards the horizontal bar.

He took off his jacket, revealing well-defined, muscular muscles underneath.

Grip the bar with both hands, engage your core muscles, and your body will rise lightly upwards.

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

His movements were textbook perfect, his rhythm incredibly steady, and he showed no sign of strain whatsoever, exuding a violent yet beautiful quality.

Fifty...

Seventy...

Ninety...

The laughter on the playground had long since ceased; everyone stared in disbelief, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

"one hundred!"

He Yuzhu released his grip and landed lightly without even panting.

He turned to face Chen Gang and gave a standard attention salute.

"Reporting, Company Commander, mission accomplished!"

Chen Gang's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

He rushed to He Yuzhu in three steps and looked him over.

"You kid, you definitely trained before!"

"Reporting to the company commander, there is nothing!"

"Where did this physique come from?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, his face serious.

"Could it be... something you were born with?"

Chen Gang was stunned for a moment, then burst into a thunderous laugh.

"Great! What a natural talent!"

He turned abruptly and roared at all the new recruits:

"Did you all see that? That's what a real soldier is!"

"From today onwards, He Yuzhu will be your role model!"

"If anyone can't even do half of what he did three months from now, they're fired!"

The way all the new recruits looked at He Yuzhu changed from mockery to shock, and finally only awe remained.

Only Zhang Xiaowu came closer, lowered his voice, and looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"Dude, you...you're cheating, right? This isn't scientific!"

He Yuzhu ignored him, but silently recited the instructions to the system in his mind.

"Is this the effect of the King of Soldiers Engine?"

Yes, the host's current physical fitness has reached the level of an elite special forces soldier.

[It is advised that the host appropriately conceal their strength to avoid attracting excessive attention; the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled.]

He Yuzhu sneered inwardly.

Hiding their strength?

The layout is small.

What I want is to make a name for myself and dominate the entire audience!

Only by standing out the fastest can you get to the battlefield the fastest and complete more check-ins!
