Taming beasts is not as good as taming yourself

Wu Xiao's appearance naturally caught the attention of the crew-cut youth immediately. If he hadn't seen Wu Xiao holding a police guidebook, he would have already taken him down when a stranger suddenly approached.

"New here?"

Knowing that today was the day the Public Security Bureau was recruiting, the crew-cut youth guessed that the boy in front of him must be a new recruit.

"Yes, cadet Wu Xiao reporting for duty!"

Recalling the short-haired girl's description, Wu Xiao confirmed that the buzz-cut young man in front of him was his instructor, Yang Wukong.

"it is good."

Yang Wukong jumped off the treadmill, nodded, and was quite satisfied that he was able to report for duty so quickly.

"Since we're here, let's start the special training now." Yang Wukong looked around and pointed to an empty treadmill.

Wu Xiao: "???"

The instructor's sudden idea almost stumped Wu Xiao. As a new recruit, shouldn't he have been given an introduction and his dormitory arranged first? Why is he starting special training right away?

However, Wu Xiao also wanted to test the effectiveness of the training facilities here. It was said that the facilities were prepared for pets, so the intensity should not be too bad.

With that in mind, Wu Xiao went to the treadmill. Only when he got closer did he realize that the treadmill was completely different from what he had imagined. In addition to being big, it was also very sturdy.

Glancing at the black fighting dog running on another treadmill, Wu Xiao felt that it was necessary for it to be more sturdy.

"Let's try a slow speed first." Yang Wukong came to Wu Xiao's side, turned on the machine, and with the sound of gears grinding, the belt on the treadmill began to move backward rapidly.

"Student, today I will teach you your first lesson, not how to cultivate mental power, nor how to learn beast taming techniques, but how to run." Yang Wukong said, jumping onto the treadmill and starting to sprint. "Many of you newbies have missed out on danger because you were too slow."

"So now, run for your life. As long as the enemy can't catch you and the danger can't catch you, you can stay alive. Once you pass this test, then we'll consider other things."

"Instructor, what constitutes a passing grade?" Upon hearing that physical and mental training could not be conducted immediately, Wu Xiao couldn't help but ask.

This kind of simple physical training is not what Wu Xiao wants. He wants a more in-depth training, one that uses extraordinary materials.

Only in this way can he possess the ability to defeat a powerful pet beast like the Gale Wolf.

"Just follow my lead." Yang Wukong was not surprised at all by Wu Xiao's question, because there were too many young people like him. Once they experienced the difficulty firsthand, they would stop asking such questions.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiao nodded, then stepped onto the treadmill and followed behind Yang Wukong.

"good!"

Seeing that Wu Xiao quickly regained his balance and caught up with him, Yang Wukong nodded slightly, but this was a test of endurance.

"No, it's excellent!"

Looking at Wu Xiao, who was still following behind him, Yang Wukong's forehead was sweating a little. "This kid is a bit strange." The boy, who didn't look very strong, was able to keep up with his speed.

Yang Wukong considered himself one of the better runners in the Public Security Bureau, but now there was a newcomer who was just as good as him in this regard.

"Newbie, I need to increase my speed." As an instructor, Yang Wukong naturally couldn't lose to a newbie. If endurance couldn't intimidate the opponent, then he would use explosive power.

As he spoke, Yang Wukong immediately switched the treadmill to high speed. Instantly, the treadmill belt emitted a whooshing sound, and Wu Xiao and Yang Wukong were quickly pushed back.

"drink!"

Yang Wukong gave a soft shout and his legs started running like a windmill, barely stopping his retreating figure. Then, he glanced behind him; if the newcomers behind him were left behind, he would stop immediately. He couldn't maintain such a burst of speed for long.

Holy crap!

When Yang Wukong saw what was happening behind him, his eyes widened in surprise. The newcomer had only tapped the treadmill a few times, yet his speed had immediately increased.

Although he didn't understand how this was done, Yang Wukong knew very well that the two sides were not on the same level of exhaustion. In other words, if this continued, he would lose.

"Newcomer, you're very good. You've passed the first test. Now, let's move on to the second test." To avoid losing and making a fool of himself, Yang Wukong decisively skipped this test and took out a fruit knife from his pocket, directly stabbing it at Wu Xiao.

"Learning to run is far from enough. As a security officer, you also need the courage to face criminals and learn to survive enemy attacks."

"Bang!"

As soon as Yang Wukong finished speaking, the fruit knife that was aimed at Wu Xiao was deflected and split in two by him. Then, Yang Wukong was thrown out by the rapidly retreating treadmill belt.

"What, what's going on?"

Yang Wukong, who had been thrown into the air, was still completely bewildered. Running and dodging attacks were special training exercises that the bureau had discussed and devised, with the aim of improving the survival rate of new recruits.

"Is this special training too easy?" Yang Wukong stood up, looking at Wu Xiao who was still jumping on the treadmill, his mind a little dazed.

Compared to Yang Wukong's bewilderment, Wu Xiao was quite calm at this moment. If a martial artist couldn't even handle this small situation, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the martial artist?

"This treadmill can be used to practice footwork!" Wu Xiao said breathlessly. At this moment, he was practicing a footwork technique called the Swimming Dragon Step.

"Newcomer, there's one last test. If you can pass it, you won't have to participate in this special training." Yang Wukong took a deep breath, preparing for the final test. Originally, this test was supposed to be conducted after the newcomer acquired their own pet beast.

But now it seems that it has to be done earlier, otherwise, he, as the instructor, won't be able to keep the newcomer in check.

"really!"

Hearing that he wouldn't have to participate in this meaningless special training, Wu Xiao was overjoyed.

"certainly!"

Yang Wukong's lips curled into a slight smile, then he said to the black fighting dog running on another treadmill, "Little Black, go!"

"Holy crap, this is so unsportsmanlike!"

Seeing the large black dog rushing towards him from a distance, it was Wu Xiao's turn to shout "Holy crap!" This fighting dog was a level 18 pet, far beyond Wu Xiao's current capabilities.

"Hmph, the primary responsibility of the Public Security Bureau is to handle cases related to pets. Therefore, learning how to deal with attacks from pets is of paramount importance." Yang Wukong sneered. Of the casualties among the new recruits in the Public Security Bureau, only 30% were caused by humans, while the rest were killed by pets.

Some of these pets have beast tamers, while others are wild or berserk, but all of them are extremely dangerous.

To resolve this danger, the natural approach is to use pets to counter pets. Therefore, this assessment will only begin once the newcomers have acquired their own pets.

However, the strength Wu Xiao had just displayed forced Yang Wukong to advance his strategy and rely on his pet beast to suppress this monstrous newcomer.
