The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Huo Xiang was speechless for a moment when he heard Zeng Wenyu say that he was not as handsome as him. Looking at Zeng Wenyu's face, Huo Xiang felt that he was not actually that handsome, he just looked pleasing to the eye. However, he still had a certain understanding of Zeng Wenyu's shamelessness. How could he not be shameless to say that a person with an ordinary face was more handsome than him!

After thinking about it, Huo Xiang sighed. He sat on the stone bench and looked at Zeng Wenyu. Seeing Huo Xiang staring at him, Zeng Wenyu suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. He subconsciously clasped his hands in front of his chest. Seeing this action, Huo Xiang's face darkened a little, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Gao, how did you train your body to be better than Instructor Guo?"

"Oh, you're asking that? Maybe it's just being single-minded?"

Looking at the smile on Zeng Wenyu's face, Huo Xiang felt that he probably didn't want to tell her how he cultivated his body, otherwise he wouldn't have used the excuse of "dedicated". In his opinion, the body cultivation in the entire Tianyi Continent had been in decline for hundreds of years. There were no people who devoted themselves to body cultivation now. After all, Qi cultivators had various techniques, while body cultivators could only rely on their own bodies.

"Forget it, forget it, if you don't want to tell me, forget it," Huo Xiang shrugged and stood up from the stone bench. "Let's go, it's time to report to the new recruit camp. If you are late, you will be criticized by the instructor."

Walking side by side with Huo Xiang, the two chatted from time to time along the way. Although they had just met today, the two of them seemed like friends who had known each other for a long time.

The barracks for new recruits guarding the border city were outside the city gate on the west side. There was a large camp there. Huo Xiang and Zeng Wenyu were almost the last to arrive at the barracks. The soldier in charge of registration looked at the two people who arrived almost on time with a bad face: "You two! Yes! You two! Since you have joined the army, you must act like a soldier! What do you two think? Come on time? If you come later, I will mark you two as deserters! Remember next time! When you are a soldier, you must abide by the time!"

"Yes! Instructor!" Huo Xiang immediately stood up straight and answered loudly.

Zeng Wenyu looked at the instructor in front of him, which reminded him of the instructor he had during military training. So he stood up straight and shouted loudly.

Seeing that the two men had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, the soldier in charge of registration ticked the names of the two men on the roster on the table, rolled up the roster and put it away, motioning the two men to follow. He led them to a corner of the new recruits' camp and pointed to a tattered tent in front of them: "You two came too late. This is the only vacant tent in the entire camp. Even though this tent is tattered and leaks everywhere, it may leak a little when it rains, but at least you don't have to squeeze into the bunk bed with others."

Zeng Wenyu looked at the tent in front of him speechlessly. It was not only leaking air and water, but there was also a big hole on each side of the tent, and the top of the tent was already riddled with holes. If it really rained, the two of them might have to run outside the tent to take shelter. Compared with such a tent, a large bunk bed might be more comfortable.

"Alright, you're late so you don't have the right to choose. You two will stay here. There are standard military uniforms and equipment inside. It's getting late, so you two should go in and change quickly. The instructors will come to train you this afternoon."

The soldier ignored Zeng Wenyu's somewhat ugly expression. For him, seeing this expression was commonplace. Every year, there were new recruits who were late and were assigned here. At the beginning, they would have some complaints, but after training, let alone disliking this place, they would be thankful as long as they had a place to rest.

They opened the tent and looked inside. They found that the things inside were quite complete, with new beds and new bedding. On each bed was a folded military uniform and a set of armor, but they were not equipped with weapons in the camp.

After looking inside the tent and just about to go in, Zeng Wenyu suddenly stopped and said, "Xiao Huo, go in and change your clothes first. I'm going to the toilet first. The monster meat I ate this morning is a bit old, and my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable now."

Before Huo Xiang could say anything, Zeng Wenyu disappeared from her sight like a gust of wind. When Zeng Wenyu came back, Huo Xiang had already changed into the uniform and armor and was waiting for him in the tent.

Seeing Huo Xiang waiting for him, Zeng Wenyu smiled awkwardly and immediately changed into the uniform on the bed. Unfortunately, he had never worn armor in his life, and he had no idea how to wear it. He could only ask for help from Huo Xiang, who was already wearing armor.

"Huh? There are things that a handsome guy can't do? That's right, being handsome is enough. If you don't know other things, there are others to help you."

"Xiao Huo, please stop saying such things at this time. I admit that I am not as handsome as you! You are handsome and know a lot, so can you help me who is not as handsome as you and knows less?"

Hearing Zeng Wenyu admit defeat, Huo Xiang laughed a few times and walked in front of Zeng Wenyu. The complicated and difficult-to-wear armor seemed as easy as a child's toy in his hands. In just a few minutes, it was already on Zeng Wenyu.

Looking at Huo Xiang who was so skilled, he said, "That's not right, Xiao Huo? This is obviously your first time joining the army, how come you know so much about armor? Were you a deserter before?"

"Nonsense! My father was also a soldier guarding the border city. He taught me how to wear armor!"

"Oh, I see. That's fine then. I didn't expect you, Xiao Huo, to be a military dependent. The rules in the military camp..."

Before they could even ask the question, a shout to assemble was heard outside the tent. Swallowing the question, the two men walked out of the tent and ran towards the assembly place with the other recruits outside.

He ran all the way to the assembly ground, looking at the new recruits who were almost all wearing the right armor and whose discipline was poor, he suddenly thought that he and Huo Xiang were dressed so neatly, weren't they a bit too eye-catching? However, Huo Xiang stood on the playground very naturally, so he threw this thought out of his mind and stood next to Huo Xiang.

"Line up! Why are you running around the training ground like headless flies? How can you be called soldiers guarding the border city?"

Suddenly, a stern voice was heard in front of the playground. The voice was not loud but accurately fell into everyone's ears. The recruits who were still wandering on the playground immediately stood up straight and quickly lined up.

A middle-aged man walked out from the group of soldiers in front of the playground. Beside him were two middle-aged men and a mature woman. They were all wearing armor, but the style and material of the armor were different from those worn by Zeng Wenyu and other recruits.
