The training ground, which was originally bustling, suddenly emptied out. Although it was a military school, few people actually wanted to be soldiers. They entered Yalang in order to become officers. How many officers charge into battle in today's wars?
Sarta had arrived and when he saw Li Feng, his eyes immediately lit up with enthusiasm. He lowered his head and placed his right hand across his chest, "Master!"
Tang Ling, who was originally smiling, was stunned on the spot. How did this happen? Tang Ling was not an ignorant little girl. This posture was the most popular knight gesture of the 23rd century and the way followers salute.
Tang Ling liked Li Feng very much for no reason. She was happy when her sweetheart performed better than her, but there weren't many things that could surprise a girl of her level. However, Li Feng was always able to give her such surprises.
Li Feng was also natural and didn't pretend. Training with Sarta would definitely teach him a lot, so there was no need to be too modest.
"Sarta, before we start training, let's first test the basic indicators to determine the scope of training."
"Okay!"
Sarta was clearly excited and ignored Tang Ling who was beside him.
"Ling'er, please help us record it."
Tang Ling nodded with great interest. As an expert in designing mobile suits, she was naturally very familiar with this aspect.
The first machine tested the comprehensive index, which was also the most common. Of course, it was not very accurate, but it was a comprehensive measure. Most people were between fifty and one hundred. Sarta scored one hundred and sixty.
Sarta was quite satisfied with this value. After all, this comprehensive quality had already far exceeded the requirements for ordinary soldiers. Tang Ling herself was also curious and scored seventy.
Miss Tang pouted her lips. Her physical condition was definitely not good enough to become a starship captain. However, she was still a little girl and didn't need to be too anxious.
Li Feng also scored ninety-three. Sarta and Tang Ling were both unbelieving. "This is impossible! The power you exploded when you fought me definitely exceeded one hundred and fifty comprehensive qualities. How could it be only over ninety!"
Li Feng smiled and suddenly took a breath. His eyes burst with cold light, "Heh!"
The number on the screen started to change, soaring straight up to over two hundred and thirty. Li Feng's expression remained relaxed.
"This, this is impossible. How can someone change their physical condition like this?"
Tang Ling shook Li Feng's arm like a child.
Sarta understood, "Miss Tang, there are people who can do this. My father and brother can do it too, but they don't necessarily have a master like you!"
"Sarta, you can just call me by my name. Calling me 'master' all the time makes me feel old. I'm still young and youthful!"
"Yes, Sarta, just call him by his name, 'Feng-ge'."
This was something that only masters could do. They usually kept their bodies restrained, but once they were in battle, they would instantly improve. He didn't know the specifics, it seemed to be a military secret, but Li Feng was able to do it so naturally that it was really hard to fathom. Tang Ling was now obsessed with Li Feng's casual and free-spirited manner. She felt like she was becoming a little infatuated, but what of it!
"Combined score of 160, not bad. At what multiple of gravity do you usually train?"
"Two to two and a half times."
"Somewhat weak. You still need to strengthen your basic training. I suggest putting aside the techniques of the mobile suit and focusing on building a solid foundation."
Sarta nodded seriously. He realized that this was true. The biggest difference between the two of them was that the other person's body was much stronger than his during critical moments. In the manipulation of mobile suits, this could be fatal.
As promised, the two of them began their training in the gravity chamber. Sarta started with twice the gravity, while Tang Ling followed Li Feng's instructions to perform some simple exercises to build up her stamina. Of course, Tang Ling didn't need to match Li Feng and his team's physical fitness standards for piloting interstellar warships. As a simple rule of thumb, mobile suits primarily required physical strength, while interstellar warships relied more on knowledge and judgment.
Sarta performed very actively under double gravity, but Li Feng didn't feel much. After a while, he raised it directly to triple gravity. Sarta's face began to flush, but he persevered. When he saw that Li Feng still seemed perfectly fine, he was completely convinced. He didn't feel that he had been unfairly defeated. Li Feng might not even have used half of his abilities. Sarta's previous notion was mistaken. He had thought that having a body capable of withstanding more than twice the gravity would suffice. He had focused too much on the technical aspect, but without the corresponding physical abilities, some moves simply couldn't be executed.
Sarta, who had found the crux of the problem, was now fully focused on his training. Li Feng devised two simple training routines for Tang Ling, mainly aimed at building up her stamina. At present, she wasn't yet suitable for weight-bearing exercises.
After devising the routines, Li Feng was ready to head into the gravity chamber to stretch his muscles. However, Tang Ling stopped him, pouting unhappily. Li Feng was puzzled. What had he done to upset her?
Tang Ling had no choice but to point out his foolishness, pointing to her own face. Li Feng laughed. He had become too focused on training that he had overlooked her. He immediately embraced Tang Ling and gave her a deep kiss, her sweet lips were truly delightful.
Tang Ling was out of breath and felt both happy and afraid of being seen by others.
The gravity chamber began to operate. Li Feng started with five times the gravity, but he knew he couldn't stay for too long, as drawing too much attention would not be good. He needed to move around first, have dinner, and then at around six o'clock, observe the surrounding terrain to see if there was anything that needed preparation.
When Li Feng came out, he found Tang Ling and Sarta staring at him in disbelief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, "What's wrong? Has your training ended?"
"Do you know how long you've been in there?"
