Chapter 96 - 6: What is the Kingly Way?
Afraid of being spoiled by these girls with spring light in their eyes, Tian Xingjian quickly left this dangerous area, calling on everyone to continue training.
A small stir settled down. Fatty continued to teach the trainees how to easily disassemble and assemble firearms on repair tables, on the ground, and even on their thighs. From this moment, the entire Mechanical Repair Camp collectively idolized Tian Xingjian. Especially when some curious ones among them checked the public records of the BG-17 energy rifle, they became fervently worshipful of this unremarkable Fatty. Public records state it takes five disassemblies and seven assemblies, but Fatty did it with only two disassemblies and four assemblies. The trainees all felt that this Fatty was truly a master with untold martial arts hidden inside.
The morning training ended, and Tian Xingjian transformed from an instructor to a trainee. From today, he would receive guidance from Russell.
In Russell’s office, without lifting his head, Russell pointed to a large stack of books and said, "These are basic theories, you have two days to be familiar with them!" Fatty’s head suddenly swelled with distress, and he miserably said, "So many! These are professional books, not novels!"
Russell lifted his head and said, "You think you can succeed without enduring hardship? Do you think becoming a qualified commander is that simple?"
Tian Xingjian was speechless. These words seemed like he had just said them to the trainees, and now he was quickly reaping his karma. Dejectedly, he picked up the books and prepared to leave. Russell said, "Where are you going? Those books are for you to read in your spare time. Now, class is starting!"
Tian Xingjian felt like he was asking for trouble, offering himself to his enemy, especially being a student of someone he had previously offended.
Russell seemed to remember the time when he was bullied by this Fatty while down on his luck, and now he demanded from him with the harshest standards. Numerous battle examples and data had to be memorized within the specified time whenever Russell gave an order.
