Chapter 351: Ancestral Massage Technique!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Throughout Wang Ye’s impression, female soldiers in the army have always been a source of morale boost and a popular presence.

Whether it was the medical team that came before or the journalists who visited later, male soldiers always seemed highly motivated.

Like peacocks displaying their feathers to attract mates, they couldn’t help but wear their military uniforms with pride, hoping to stand out in a sea of male soldiers and gain the favor of the female soldiers.

However, now, Wang Ye was actually avoiding the female soldiers for the first time.

Originally, they were supposed to go on a ten-kilometer armed cross-country excursion, but it ended up being a ten-kilometer run around the parade ground.

Naturally, everyone liked this choice, including Wang Ye.

He enjoyed running and wanted to see if he could turn this into a skill after his first ten-kilometer armed run. However, it was clear that there were two ways to run a ten-kilometer route.

Running on a flat track and running over the hills and mountains outside the camp, which one was easier, even a casual observer could tell.

“Hurry up, give it your all, we’re reconnaissance soldiers!”

On the track, An Ping turned around and yelled.

This was already the nth time he had shouted this.

Half of the ten kilometers had already passed.

And now the team had spread out.

To be precise, it was Wang Ye who had separated from them.

At this moment, Wang Ye appeared to be the last one in the squad.

But in fact, Wang Ye was the first among them in terms of running.

A while ago, for some reason, An Ping had instructed Wang Ye to run at full speed.

He said that today’s run was every man for himself, and whoever finished first could rest first.

Wang Ye thought that since he was new here, there was no harm in showing off a bit. Besides, his strength had already been revealed during the martial arts competition.

So he readily agreed to the squad leader’s request.

And that’s how the current scene unfolded.

Indeed, they were true reconnaissance soldiers. Even after running nearly five kilometers, Wang Ye hadn’t fallen into their pace; he was trailing behind them by just twenty to thirty meters.

But it was precisely because of this that the reconnaissance soldiers’ teeth were almost grinding to bits.

They had been selected from various companies or were the cream of the crop from the new recruits’ platoon.

They were absolute elites, and being overtaken by someone was a great humiliation!

Continually glancing back at Wang Ye, they gritted their teeth and increased their speed.

They didn’t dare to run recklessly.

After all, they had to ensure they could complete the ten kilometers.

So they only dared to increase their speed little by little.

In the rear, Wang Ye could now hear An Ping’s voice up ahead. As he ran, he looked at the reconnaissance soldiers in front of him and grinned.

In fact, he was already holding back.

Reconnaissance soldiers typically completed the five-kilometer armed cross-country run in about eighteen minutes.

The gap between them and Wang Ye was still quite noticeable.

If Wang Ye were to go all out, even if they bit their teeth and accelerated now, they would only last for another two laps before getting overtaken.

However, when Wang Ye reached this point, he slightly slowed down his pace.

He understood An Ping’s intentions.

He was using himself as a sharpening stone to put pressure on them.

Wang Ye was exceptionally familiar with this tactic, having come across it many times before.

So, maintaining his current position, around twenty to thirty meters behind them, occasionally speeding up a bit to close the gap and create pressure on An Ping ahead, was the best strategy.

What was this?

In fact, it was like herding ducks; Wang Ye was herding while An Ping was teasing…

Lap after lap, the ten kilometers left Wang Ye panting at the end.

But in the end, when Wang Ye finished the run, he did so with a smile as he lapped them.

“Pant… pant…”

Beside the track, Wang Ye immediately took off his backpack, placed his rifle-wife on top of it, and then moved slowly in place.

Looking at the others on the track still running with tired expressions, Wang Ye couldn’t help but smile.

With a thought, he said, “Successful skill activation!”

There was a slight surprise, but then Wang Ye’s exhausted heart was filled with joy once again.

It had actually worked. Last time during the eight-kilometer armed run, he hadn’t managed to activate the skill. Unexpectedly, this time, he had succeeded with the ten kilometers.

Wang Ye was a bit surprised, but at the same time, his tired face showed even greater happiness.

Because this meant his physical strength could continue to reach new limits.

Of course, Wang Ye’s smile looked a bit annoying to the others on the track.

However, they couldn’t speak at all right now, let alone confront Wang Ye.

Furthermore, if they really wanted to confront him, they needed the strength to do so!

Looking at how Wang Ye and Cai Huayu, the prisoner capturer in their class, could fight evenly and even gain the upper hand, none of the others in the class had a chance to beat Wang Ye unless they ganged up on him.

After nearly two minutes, when they also finished their last lap, Wang Ye had already calmed down.

Huff… Wang… Wang Ye… luckily… we… we didn’t join the same platoon!” Qi Zhenfei, lying flat on the ground, gasped heavily.

Looking at Wang Ye, as he lay there panting heavily, Qi Zhenfei couldn’t help but sigh like this.

That was his sincere sentiment now.

Wang Ye had come with the honor of being the overall champion in martial arts, and he had also broken records in the five-kilometer run and the 400-meter obstacle course.

So now, when they were overtaken by Wang Ye and couldn’t beat him in the run, they didn’t really feel embarrassed.

After all, no one in the entire division could outrun him.

But just imagine if Wang Ye had joined their platoon when he first came here, and they had started together at the same time.

That would have driven them crazy…

“Hehe, alright, stop talking!

Come on, I’ll give you a massage.” Wang Ye looked at him like this, suddenly had an idea, and then smiled as he squatted down and started massaging.

“I don’t know if you reconnaissance soldiers have this technique, but the technique in our Fourth Company was improved by an elder medic who was a family tradition. It works really well!”

“No… no need,” Qi Zhenfei wanted to escape but was struggling.

However, he was so exhausted that he had no strength to dodge Wang Ye’s hands.

Then…

n

All- No… no more!”

Not even two seconds later, in a situation where the expressions of everyone in the squad froze, Qi Zhenfei, who was lying on the ground, let out a loud sound that he shouldn’t have made at this moment.

“Hehe, endure it a bit, we’re still reconnaissance soldiers.

My technique is guaranteed to be effective, don’t move!”

Wang Ye was smiling happily at this moment.

It turned out that even the tough reconnaissance soldiers couldn’t handle the massage technique from the Fourth Company!

At first, Wang Ye thought that the massage techniques in the army were all the same.

But after going to the instructional team, he realized that it wasn’t the case.

Although they were similar in general, the stars of the Fourth Company were more meticulous, and there were many specifics about acupoints during the massage.

Later, Wang Ye went back and asked Wu Jianfeng after returning from the instructional team, and Wu Jianfeng said that the massage technique in the Fourth Company had been improved by an elder medic.

As for the results, after running eight kilometers before, mutual massages did have a significant effect. However, during the massage, it was quite painful!

“All- No… Wang… Brother Wang, no… Squad… Squad Leader, save me!” Qi Zhenfei had tears in his eyes by now.

Reconnaissance soldiers also had massage techniques, but they rarely used them unless they were helping new recruits in the field or when new recruits arrived.

That’s because the reconnaissance unit’s gym had specialized massage equipment.

After high-intensity training, applying some medicinal alcohol and using the massage equipment was less painful and more effective.

But now, Wang Ye didn’t care about anything. While Qi Zhenfei was too weak to speak, he pressed down with all his might, causing him to cry out in pain.

In Qi Zhenfei’s eyes, this technique was as demanding as the interrogation and questioning training he had undergone.

This pain went deep into his bones.

And it wasn’t just pain; it was also soreness.

Wang Ye’s massage technique was even more powerful than the reconnaissance soldiers’ massage techniques.

H

Huff-” An Ping took a deep breath to recover his strength.

He wasn’t making a sound now, let alone trying to save Qi Zhenfei.

He naturally saw that while Wang Ye’s technique was a bit rough, he was pressing on specific acupoints.

It was clear that he was really massaging.

So he remained silent.

But at this moment, he made up his mind.

He definitely wouldn’t let Wang Ye help him with a massage later.

What a joke, if he, a squad leader, cried and begged for mercy while being massaged by Wang Ye, he would lose all his face.

The others felt the same way. They silently seized the opportunity to relax their bodies while watching Qi Zhenfei’s unfortunate situation.

They had all made up their minds that they wouldn’t let Wang Ye massage them later, no matter what.

This massage was bizarre, this Fourth Company’s ancestral technique was bizarre.

“That’s enough!”

After about a minute, Wang Ye stood up with a smile.

At this moment, Qi Zhenfei’s appearance was like how Wang Ye looked when he was first “opened” during the groin kick incident.

His eyes had lost their spark.

With a smile, Wang Ye turned his head, and at this moment, the expressions of the others were somewhat unnatural.

“Hehe, I don’t need it anymore, I’m almost recovered!”

“Cough cough- Yes, Wang Ye, actually, we have a better and more scientific method here. Come, I’ll take you to experience it!” Ge Hui spoke up like this.

In that second, he ignored Qi Zhenfei, who was lying on the ground and looking at him with resentful eyes.

“Huh?” Wang Ye couldn’t help but be surprised at this moment.

“A more scientific method? What is it?”

“Come on, you’ll know when we take you!” Ge Hui began to put on his equipment again.

“Alright, let’s go together!” An Ping said at this moment.

After everyone had put on their backpacks and picked up their rifles, An Ping also called Cai Huayu, and together, they helped Qi Zhenfei, who had been roughed up by Wang Ye, to his feet.

Soon, Wang Ye was brought to the gymnasium of the Second Platoon.

Actually, Wang Ye was not unfamiliar with this place; he had seen it from the outside yesterday. Moreover, the instructional team also had a gymnasium.

It was just that the Fourth Company didn’t have one; they only had a rudimentary indoor club, which served as physical training when the weather was bad.

It couldn’t be compared to this at all.

“It’s really comfortable!”

Lying on a massage chair, Wang Ye made such a sound.

Actually, the massage chair was still somewhat painful, but the pain was mild. Compared to Wang Ye, who had already adapted to the rough manual massage methods of the Fourth Company and the instructional team, this tingling and sore sensation was truly enjoyable.

“It’s comfortable, right?”

Next to him, Qi Zhenfei rolled his eyes and said in an unkind tone.

At this moment, he still harbored deep resentment.

“What? Learning Y language?”

During the short break after dinner, when Wang Ye casually asked how they usually trained in the evening, his neighbor, Qiu Shuang, gave him an unexpected answer.

Reconnaissance soldiers, after watching the news, usually didn’t engage in other training. They focused on foreign language learning.

Uh… In the reconnaissance regiment of Division A, the emphasis was on learning the Y language. After all, the opposite side of the border here was Y country. So as a reconnaissance soldier, one had to be able to learn some daily communication and even interrogation oral language and simple vocabulary writing.

Of course, it wasn’t just the Y language; it’s just that the emphasis was on learning the Y language. They also had to learn English..
