Mecha and Knife

"General Ji, have you started cultivating immortals yet?"

In normal times, the person who yelled this sentence would definitely catch the attention of everyone around him, and make them spontaneously distance themselves from him.

But today, all eyes are always on the ring.

It was a ring that was temporarily built five days ago. During these five days, everyone present was knocked down on the ring many times.

There is only one person in the ring, Ji Xinghe.

Under the focus of the eyes of more than 2,000 people, he is calm and composed. His vision is very wide, and he can easily lock on the person who is shouting.

Because of the distance between the two parties, the speaker couldn't see Ji Xinghe's eyes clearly, but when Ji Xinghe looked at him, he felt obvious pressure, including the people around him getting nervous.

"Ma Yi."

"have."

"Come up."

"yes."

Ma Yi was extremely excited, he didn't expect Ji Xinghe to remember his name, the nervousness still existed, but the mood was excellent.

The road was given up, and when Ma Yi ran towards the ring quickly, he felt the eyes of the people around him focus on him.

Somewhat pleased, he felt that these people were envious of him being remembered by Ji Xinghe.

But this is actually nothing to envy, because Ji Xinghe's memory is notoriously good, many, many people's names have been remembered by Ji Xinghe, and he can recognize them.

When he ran to the edge of the ring, Ma Yi jumped up with a quick acceleration. He jumped directly onto the three-meter-high ring, standing still very firmly.

Even for aliens in a low-gravity environment, this jumping ability is worthy of praise.

But among the more than 2,000 people in the training area, none of them praised Ma Yi, because they were all able to do it, because they were all elites.

All the soldiers on the alien planet are elite, and being able to participate in the training they call "Ji Xinghe Beating" shows that they are the elite among the elite.

Ma Yi excitedly stood in front of Ji Xinghe, stood at attention and raised his hands to salute, his posture was impeccable.

"Reporting General, Ma Yi, third-rank Sergeant Major Ma Yi, platoon leader of the 3rd Battalion, 6th Company and 9th Platoon of the 857th Regiment of the Federal Longzhou Space Marine Corps, has been ordered to report, please give me instructions."

People who watched Ma Yi jump directly onto the three-meter-high ring before, but didn't react, their eyes changed significantly when they heard Ma Yi's military rank, and they could see the respectful emotion.

In the federal military rank system, the ranks of non-commissioned officers are corporal, sergeant, sergeant, sergeant major 4th, sergeant major 3rd, sergeant major 2nd, and sergeant major 1st.

But under normal circumstances, the promotion after the rank of sergeant is a lieutenant like second lieutenant, and the rank of sergeant major is rarely seen. Because a lieutenant is an officer, and a non-commissioned officer is still a soldier.

Many people say that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, so the promotion from a soldier to an officer is very important, and it is what many people yearn for.

But there are always some people who don't want to be officers, they just want to charge at the forefront, so there is a sergeant major promotion.

Under normal circumstances, people will refer to the highest rank of sergeant major, that is, first-class sergeant major, as the sergeant major.

There is another title for such a person——Soldier King.

Even some lieutenants, even school officers, would not take their ranks seriously when facing the king of soldiers known as the master sergeant.

Therefore, Ma Yi, as a third-rank sergeant major, is still a certain distance away from the sergeant chief, but his choice already deserves people's respect.

It was only then that Ji Xinghe knew that Ma Yi's military rank was a third-rank sergeant major. He was able to remember the names of thousands of people, thanks to the improvement that Qi had brought him. In many cases, Xingyue needed Xingyue to carry out the training by his ear. Only by reminding you can you compare the names you have only heard once with the faces you have only seen once.

"Relax."

"yes."

Ji Xinghe looked at Ma Yi standing in front of him, and suddenly asked: "Do you regret it?"

Ma Yi was stunned for a moment, then confirmed: "General, do you regret what I said just now? Or do you regret choosing to become a sergeant major?"

"Become a sergeant major."

"No regrets."

Ma Yi answered without any hesitation. He looked at Ji Xinghe and explained in an excited tone: "They are all officials, who will kill the orangutan."

As expected of the man who asked the question just now, although it is a bit biased, there is some truth to it.

Ji Xinghe, who was already a general, nodded slightly when facing Ma Yi's words, which caused some commotion.

It is not a state of training, so there is no need for everyone to stand at attention and maintain a military posture and silence.

"I don't cultivate immortals, and I don't know how to cultivate immortals."

Ji Xinghe only answered Ma Yi's question at this time, which made people feel a little disappointed. Then they thought of the question and answer between him and Ma Yi just now, and suddenly understood what Ji Xinghe meant.

I don't cultivate immortals, and I don't know how to cultivate immortals.

I have become an official, but I am still a soldier, and I will still participate in this war on the front line.

Ji Xinghe's ability to have such a great prestige in the army has nothing to do with his rank and promotion, and it has little to do with his ability to fight.

The real core reason is that he has always been on the front line, even if he has become a general.

In contrast, Kaidilin, an ace mecha fighter with the rank of colonel, who is in the battle zone of Battle Scar Canyon, rarely appears directly on the frontline battlefield before Ji Xinghe goes to Battle Scar Canyon, but becomes Deterrent combat power similar to nuclear weapons.

If there were no marquis or duke-level mechs in the imperial mech corps, he would not have participated in the battle.

There are many mecha fighters like Kedilin, not only the ace mecha fighters, but also many super mecha fighters will choose to participate in the battle.

But whether it is Ji Xinghe or the independent regiment led by Ji Xinghe, whether it is the ace mecha fighter or the super mecha fighter, they will always appear on the frontline battlefield, facing several times the enemy army and bearing the ultimate burden. Dangerous and toughest combat mission.

Almost all soldiers will prefer generals like Ji Xinghe and Li Yuanba, even if they know very well that the command made by a general like Tu Yuan on the battlefield is more meaningful than Ji Xinghe and Li Yuanba's direct participation in the battle. value and meaning.

The people under the arena thought a lot, but Ma Yi, standing in front of Ji Xinghe, couldn't think so much.

He was too excited, and because of his personality, his mind was a little out of control.

"General, can't you cultivate immortality even if you have exhausted your energy? Then there is always some internal strength, whether it is low martial arts or medium martial arts. If it is high martial arts, it seems to be no different from cultivating immortals, right?"

Low martial arts, medium martial arts, high martial arts.

That is to say, Ji Xinghe was born in 2022. A 67-year-old man of his time must be very unfamiliar with these three terms.

Moreover, Ji Xinghe, who has been practicing martial arts since the fifth grade of elementary school, has some experience in various martial arts novels, even fantasy novels.

He is also a high-end player in the gaming world.

Judging from these two points alone, Ji Xinghe was actually an otaku boy who liked fantasy worlds and games many years ago.

"Qi is just Qi. It has nothing to do with what you have heard before. It is not the inner qi obtained from practicing inner skills, not spiritual qi, and not mana. Therefore, it is low-level martial arts."

Hearing Ji Xinghe, a sixty-seven-year-old man, say terms that young people should know, more than two thousand soldiers, men and women, feel very fresh. The distance between him and Ji Xinghe, an old general, is like It's the same as being drawn closer invisibly.

"General, can you tell me more about it?"

Ma Yi once again raised questions to Ji Xinghe on behalf of more than 2,000 people, or countless people. Su He, with the eyes of three billion people behind him, was doing his real job under the ring.

Su He actually wanted to laugh.

This time, the Federation officials will not deny it. No matter what Ji Xinghe said, they will not deny it. Because in their view, what Ji Xinghe said was just one or many white lies. If it is found that Ji Xinghe is wrong in the future, it has nothing to do with the official directly. As well as the prestige of the Federation.

This is the case in any era, especially for soldiers. Too much personal prestige is not a good thing for some people.

People like Li Anbang also have to abide by the 65-year-old retirement requirement, which is directly related to Li Anbang's high prestige in the federal military and the popularity of old students.

If Li Anbang wanted to, he could completely segregate Alien Star and use the means of bringing the flames of war to Azure Star to prevent the Federation from targeting his separatist side. Strictly speaking, it is a separatist star.

Whether Li Anbang will do this is not important, what is important is that no one should have such ability.

Everyone knows that Li Anbang has such abilities.

But how many people know about Ji Xinghe's ability?

Su He thought about some day in the future, when Ji Xinghe's lies were verified to be true one after another, some people's reactions, and some people's possible actions.

After all, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

"In my teaching video, I have mentioned the five kinds of strengths: Ming Jin, Dark Jin, Hua Jin, Dan Jin, and Gang Jin."

Ji Xinghe started to 'lie', and everyone listened carefully.

The five strengths he mentioned were familiar to everyone present, because Ji Xinghe's Jijiaquan series of teaching videos were privately called "Jimen Bible".

Even if some people haven't learned it, they can't help but want to take a look and remember some of the key points, such as the division of the five strengths.

"I won't go into details here, let me talk about the Gang Jin, the Gang Jin that can strike an inch in the air."

Ji Xinghe looked at Ma Yi, who held his head high.

Ji Xinghe stretched out his hand, flicked his fingers, and the fingertips stopped an inch in front of Ma Yi's chest.

There was a crisp sound, and everyone in the huge training area could hear it. It was the sound picked up by Ji Xinghe's microphone.

Then, on the large holographic projection screen above the ring, a focused image of Ma Yi's chest appeared.

There was a fingernail-sized hole in the uniform that was originally intact, and the exposed skin was red, as if it had been hit.

No one paid attention to Ma Yi's expression at this time, they all looked at the hole in the clothes in astonishment.

Although they have seen Ji Xinghe's demonstration of Gang Jin hitting an inch in the air in the "Jimen Bible" before, can the feeling of watching the video be the same as watching the scene?

In the past, many people believed that the "Jimen Bible" used special effects, even if it really existed by hitting an inch in the air, it would be impossible to break the military uniform with its own defensive function in this way.

And now, the truth is in front of everyone.

On the big screen of the holographic projection, there are not only Ma Yi's broken clothes, but also the screenshots of his clothes when he came on stage intact. The comparison between the two is more intuitive.

Ji Xinghe asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Ma Yi still held his head high: "General, let's do it a few more times. I'll go back and play for ten years, and I want to go back and play for a lifetime."

Ji Xinghe nodded slightly, and continued to flick with his fingers.

clap clap...

When eight crisp sounds came out in a row, based on Su He's precise control of the camera, more than two thousand people saw eight holes appearing in succession on Ma Yi's chest.

It was a show of force that stunned everyone, and a blessing.

Ma Yi was so excited that he was about to faint, but his status as a soldier and the strong heart brought about by his dream of becoming a master chief made him stand upright.

Just the frenzy in his eyes is enough to melt ice and snow.

"This is the limit of strength. Gather all the strength of the whole body at one point, and then burst out, reaching the limit of hitting an inch in the air."

Ji Xinghe turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, giving people a dignified aura.

"It can break clothes, but it's hard to hurt people, because everyone wears clothes, and so do the orangutans of the empire. Compared with the uniforms worn inside the base, the protective clothing worn on the surface is stronger in terms of defense.

It's no better than a gun, or a knife. Even I can only hit nine consecutive shots in a short period of time. Therefore, for a period of time after I practiced it, I thought that this ability was meaningless.

In my opinion, the real meaning and value of the five kinds of energy lies in the degree of control over our body after we have practiced them. Only by having a more comprehensive understanding of one's body and controlling one's body can one be able to exert one's full strength.

Just like the weapons we used in this war, only by truly understanding them and mastering them can their power be truly displayed. You don't know how far the effective range of your gun is, how to snipe the enemy? If you can't control the recoil of the firearm, how can you shoot accurately?

If you don't know the detonation mechanism of the mine, you can't plant the mine well. Artillery cannot shoot accurately without knowing the range of the artillery and the trajectory of the shells. Rocket soldiers and missile soldiers can rely on electronic systems, but if they don't understand electronic systems, how can they use them? "

The commonplace topic was very short, so Ji Xinghe changed the subject.

"All weapons have theoretical limits, such as the effective range of firearms. After exceeding the effective range, many people think that the possibility of accurate hits will be greatly reduced.

But in my independent regiment, there is a man named Chen Xun. You should have heard of him, but you probably haven’t heard of him. Since he joined the army, the number of imperial orangutans and monkeys killed with guns on the battlefield has reached Seven thousand nine hundred and thirty-five. "

The exclamation suddenly exploded, making the quiet training area become noisy.

What is the concept of 7935 effective kills?

If everyone can be like Chen Xun, even if it is only one tenth, or even one percent, this war should be over.

When Ji Xinghe's voice continued to sound, the commotion disappeared.

"Many people will say that it is because Chen Xun's sniper rifle has better performance, because Chen Xun can wear individual exoskeleton armor to participate in the battle, with the help of various advanced auxiliary technologies. The regiment drew fire in front, leaving the Empire with no time to take care of his sniper kills on the battlefield.

These reasons are all facts, but what I want to say is that Chen Xun’s many, many sniper kills have exceeded the effective range of the sniper rifle he used. The real reason why 'Thousands of Gorillas' was targeted.

The effective range of our sniper rifles is also known to the empire. When they find snipers, they will look for our snipers within this effective range. But Chen Xun was outside the effective range, so it was almost impossible for them to find Chen Xun's position.

This is Chen Xun's advantage. Do you want to know how Chen Xun did it? "

"think!"

The shouts were like thunder.

"Chen Xun." Ji Xinghe said softly, "You come and tell everyone the answer."

"yes."

Chen Xun's voice sounded in the training area of ​​Base No. 5, but he didn't say the answer directly, but corrected him: "Corps commander, I killed sixty-six imperial orangutans in the battle that just ended, So, my current kill count is eight thousand and one."

"well done."

Ji Xinghe's praise prevented the noise from appearing in the training area.

Chen Xun said the answer when the audience was silent.

"Because you told us, Commander, don't believe in the limit, because if we don't believe it, the limit doesn't exist."

This is Ji Xinghe's famous saying, and people who have heard it can describe it in countless words.

His words can indeed be described in famous words.

When people thought about the inevitable connection between this sentence and Chen Xun's ability to kill more than 8,000 orangutans, Chen Xun's voice continued to ring.

"Before I met you, Corps Commander, most of the time I only killed the imperial orangutans within the effective range, which put me in a very dangerous situation, and I may face the fire bombing of the empire at any time.

So in many cases, I can't snipe in the right position, which makes my hit rate drop significantly. Occasionally, I get a kill outside of effective range, which I attribute to luck.

But after meeting you, commander of the Corps, I heard your words and believed your words. So, I no longer regard the effective range as my limit, I no longer regard killings outside the effective range as my luck, I regard this kind of sniping as...

I pushed my limits and surpassed myself.

After that, I was able to do more and more sniper kills beyond the effective range. Until now, I was able to achieve a hit rate of 79% at a distance of about 1,000 meters beyond the effective range.

But I don't think this is my limit. I firmly believe that this hit rate can be further improved, and I can achieve hits at a longer distance.

Because, I have no limit, the independent regiment has no limit, the commander of the army has no limit, and we humans have no limit. "

If the words are loud, the training area of ​​the No. 5 base will be silenced.

After a short period of silence, Chen Xun's voice sounded again: "Corps Commander, I apply to continue the combat mission."

"Go."

When Ji Xinghe spoke, the communication ended, and the independent regiment, including Chen Xun, started fighting again in the Battle Scar Canyon.

Six days later, the major counterattack in Battle Scar Canyon had already begun. Of course, with such a force as the Independent Regiment, it was impossible to carry out the task of bringing the remains of heroes home. This became the task of the logistics force.

In the No. 5 base theater where there is no war, people are yearning because of Chen Xun's words, but also because of their inner persistence and belief.

"I said that I don't believe in limits. I said that human beings have no limits, but when I practiced Gang Jin, I seemed to have reached the limits of human beings."

Ji Xinghe paused slightly, and asked softly: "So, am I wrong?"

No one knows what Ji Xinghe's question really points to, but it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Ji Xinghe doesn't need other people's answers.

His tone hardened.

"I'm not wrong, so strength is not the limit of our human beings."

Ji Xinghe stretched out his hand and pressed it on the shoulder of Ma Yi who was still standing beside him, and the power of Qi came out through his body.

Silently, Ma Yi's jacket with nine holes appeared, which split into many rags in an instant, like willow leaves fluttering in the wind, flew up and landed on the ring.

More than two thousand people were dumbfounded.

This is the power of Qi?

Base No. 5, including Wang Wei and Tu Yuan, participated in the interrogation of Dongguo Cilian, and knew that Ji Xinghe regarded Dongguo Cilian as an inflatable.

Many people in the Nantianmen Space Station, especially the owners of the scientific research team who studied qi through Kazeman and Bell Rossi, and those few Dan Jin and Gang Jin masters who have also been inflated.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Is this the effect that inflation can achieve?
