After lunch and a rest.
Da Xiong continued his training.
Due to Da Xiong's excellent performance in the morning, Zhou Yu taught him the second move of "隔山打牛" (Ge Shan Da Niu - Colliding with the Mountain) in the afternoon.
The first move was a simple straight punch.
Its power was immense, but its applicability was not very wide.
After all, enemies wouldn't wait for you to sense the surrounding fluctuations before throwing a punch.
Therefore, the second move was particularly important.
Zhou Yu demonstrated it first.
Even though Zhou Yu only used ten percent of his strength, he shattered the entire row of wooden stakes.
Da Xiong watched from the side, dumbfounded!
He became even more fond of this set of boxing techniques.
After Zhou Yu demonstrated, he asked Da Xiong to imitate him and try it.
Clearly, Da Xiong lacked the necessary finesse; he only managed to damage the second wooden stake before there was no further effect.
Da Xiong hadn't grasped the essence yet and could only rely on brute force.
After watching for a while, Zhou Yu personally stepped in to correct Da Xiong's movements.
He practiced with Da Xiong for nearly an hour.
Seeing that Da Xiong's movements were almost right, Zhou Yu let him train on his own.
Da Xiong cherished this hard-won opportunity.
Even though Zhou Yu was resting with his eyes closed under the tree, Da Xiong still dared not slack off.
He practiced strike after strike.
The sun blazed down, and Da Xiong, drenched in sweat, was nearing his limit.
The second move of "隔山打牛" required more skill than the first.
If the technique was wrong, it would be incredibly strenuous!
As Da Xiong was about to collapse, Zhou Yu glanced at him but did not call a halt.
Talent might be lacking, but effort could compensate.
There were no shortcuts on the path of martial arts!
Just as Zhou Yu was about to go buy some water to cool Da Xiong down.
Zhao Ruyue walked over, holding two bowls of mung bean soup.
She walked to Zhou Yu's side, placed the mung bean soup down, and said with a smile, "The weather is hot, have some to cool down."
Zhou Yu looked down speechlessly, a question forming in his mind.
Did the medical team have nothing to do?
Otherwise, why would Zhao Ruyue be so free, bringing lunch and now mung bean soup?
Most importantly.
Whenever Zhao Ruyue appeared, all eyes in the training ground would turn towards Zhou Yu.
Even if Zhou Yu didn't care, being stared at so much made him uncomfortable!
Just as Zhou Yu was racking his brain for how to refuse Zhao Ruyue and ask her to stop coming.
Suddenly, a sound came from not far away.
*Plop—*
He turned his head to see Da Xiong had fainted.
Zhao Ruyue was also startled and quickly said, "Is he heatstroke?"
Zhou Yu didn't answer. He strode forward and helped Da Xiong up.
He placed a finger on Da Xiong's wrist. After a moment, Zhou Yu said speechlessly, "No, he's just exhausted."
After speaking, Zhou Yu pinched Da Xiong's philtrum.
Da Xiong then slowly woke up.
"Divine Doctor Zhou?" Da Xiong looked at Zhou Yu dazedly, unable to comprehend where he was for a moment.
A moment later.
Da Xiong seemed to remember something and suddenly jumped up from the ground, saying in a panic.
"Oh no, I almost slacked off."
After saying that, Da Xiong was about to leave the shade of the tree to continue training by the wooden stakes.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu grabbed Da Xiong's arm.
With a strong pull, he yanked him back.
Da Xiong, unsteady, stumbled and fell to the ground.
He rubbed his head, feeling dizzy.
"Divine Doctor Zhou, what are you doing?" Da Xiong said with a hint of grievance.
Zhou Yu immediately pointed to the mung bean soup beside them, a dark line forming on his forehead: "Drink this first and rest for a while."
Da Xiong wanted to say he was fine, but facing Zhou Yu's stern expression.
Da Xiong had no choice but to walk over and drink the mung bean soup in one gulp!
"Effort is good, but don't push yourself too hard," Zhou Yu said calmly.
Da Xiong scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
Zhao Ruyue, standing beside them, said with a smile, "Look at you, being a drill instructor and training a new recruit to the point of fainting!"
Hearing this, Da Xiong quickly waved his hands: "No, it was my fault for not paying attention, it's not Divine Doctor Zhou's fault."
Da Xiong's demeanor.
He was afraid that Zhou Yu would stop teaching him because of Zhao Ruyue's words!
Zhao Ruyue burst into laughter: "It better be, or I'll report you to Elder Lin."
"By the way, has the time for the next training session been decided?"
Zhou Yu nodded slightly.
The next training session was in three days.
This meant these new recruits had three more days for targeted training.
Then they would begin the fourth mission of the new recruit training camp.
The first three missions, though not easy, at least didn't result in injuries, and could be considered introductory level.
The upcoming missions would only become more difficult.
Starting from the fourth mission, combat requirements would be added!
It was foreseeable that some people would be eliminated in the fourth mission.
"Elder Lin asked our medical team to be on standby during the fourth mission, which indicates it's very dangerous."
"Young Yang, you better keep up the effort," Zhao Ruyue said with a smile.
Da Xiong scratched his head and glanced at Zhou Yu discreetly.
He couldn't help but sigh, thinking Zhou Yu was truly a block of ice!
Zhao Ruyue had shown her affection multiple times; any other man would have likely lost control by now.
But Zhou Yu...
Remained as steady as Mount Tai...
"Alright, Da Xiong, you've rested enough, let's continue training," Zhou Yu, tired of this petty squabbling, stood up and instructed when he saw Da Xiong looking better.
Having learned about the danger level of the fourth mission, Da Xiong dared not slack off.
He immediately scrambled to his feet and returned to training.
Zhao Ruyue stayed under the tree, chatting with Zhou Yu idly.
"It's basically confirmed now, the people from the Shadow organization are from the Zhang family."
"You need to be careful these few days, prevent them from causing any trouble." Zhou Yu said in a low voice.
Although the two consecrators of the Zhang family were already being watched by the Dragon Group, they wouldn't make any moves for the time being.
But don't forget, there was still Zhang Shaohua!
Zhang Shaohua was no good person and harbored deep hatred for Zhou Yu.
Furthermore, Zhao Ruyue had been quite close to Zhou Yu lately.
If Zhang Shaohua wanted revenge, it was highly likely he would choose Zhao Ruyue as his target.
Zhao Ruyue nodded solemnly, then asked, "What did Elder Lin say?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said nothing.
Although Lin Weidong held a high position in the Dragon Group, many decisions couldn't be made on a whim.
He had to consider the balance of various forces.
So even if they guessed the collaborator of the Shadow organization, they couldn't act rashly!
In short, Zhao Ruyue needed to be more careful.
"The best way is actually to keep your distance from me, then you won't be targeted," Zhou Yu said, half-jokingly.
Zhao Ruyue was immediately speechless, glaring at Zhou Yu.
She thought to herself that this guy must be annoyed with her and was finding an excuse to get rid of her!
"I refuse," Zhao Ruyue said, then tidied up the thermos and left.
