96: Breaking a boulder on his chest! That's incredibly tough!
Night fell deeply.
Surrounded by mountains, the Steel Regiment soldiers lit a fire in an open space.
It was rare for the Regiment Commander himself to order a bonfire party.
The soldiers were all highly enthusiastic and excited... as the bonfire suddenly flared up like a fierce beast.
The soldiers sat cross-legged in circles.
Regiment Commander Hu and Zheng Jianfeng stood inside the central circle.
Regiment Commander Hu shouted hoarsely: “Comrades!”
“Today, our Steel Regiment is holding a bonfire party!”
“Firstly, to encourage everyone, hoping you all treat your daily training seriously!”
“Secondly, and most importantly, I will present a medal to Brother Su Yun right here at the bonfire party!”
“Great!”
As his voice fell, thunderous applause echoed across the open space!
The soldiers uniformly focused their attention on Su Yun alone!
Immediately, shouts were deafening, and applause surged like a tide... Su Yun gave a wry smile, stood up, and walked toward the central bonfire circle.
— [Sour grapes, stinky grapes, this must be terrible!] — [Hmph! Playing with fire late at night, be careful not to wet the bed!] — [Am I envious? I'm not envious at all! (Lying!)] — [A medal! The Steel Regiment Commander personally awarding a medal!] — [Although it's not official, it's still incredibly awesome...] — [If Brother Su could open a class, I'd kneel and listen...]
Millions of fans and netizens in the livestream room were drooling with envy.
Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, being personally awarded a medal by a Regiment Commander must be earth-shattering!
Fatty Wang Fan sat on the ground, munching on sunflower seeds while recording the highlight moment.
“Chang Wei, don't learn from your Big Daddy in the future; learn from your Second Daddy.”
“Look at me, your Second Daddy, eating, drinking, and gaining weight every day...”
Chang Wei 'Awoo-ed' twice and immediately rolled its eyes at Fatty Wang Fan.
Although it didn't understand what the Fatty was saying, it knew he must be taking advantage of him.
It, the Liger, had high bloodlines, was a hybrid, and would only recognize one human father in its lifetime!
... In the central bonfire circle.
Regiment Commander Hu pulled out a medal engraved with a unique pattern.
“Comrade Su Yun, please continue to promote the spirit of helping others in the future!”
“Please continue to contribute, please continue to shine and generate heat for humanity...”
Su Yun: “...”
The praise was a little high, but he had to accept it.
The so-called medal presentation ceremony was not formal because Su Yun was not a military member.
However, the medal was genuine, and it might even be recorded in his personal file!
Returning to his proper seat, the bonfire party officially began.
The soldiers performed their acts company by company.
The first performance was 'Shattering Stone on the Chest,' a display of the Iron Shirt skill!
A soldier with a completely shaved head and resolute eyes slowly walked to the center and lay down flat.
A pre-prepared stone slab was heavily placed on the soldier's chest.
*Clap, clap, clap!* The 'Shattering Stone on the Chest' act hadn't even started, yet thunderous applause already erupted throughout the venue!
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng slowly walked over and sat beside Su Yun.
He smiled and said, “Brother Su Yun, watch closely.”
“This man is a famous Arhat of our Steel Regiment, having come from the Shaolin Temple previously.”
“His set of hard qigong skills has left countless people amazed.”
Su Yun nodded and said, “Then I definitely need to watch carefully.”
— [Shattering stone on the chest? Are they serious?] — [That's dangerous... Didn't a contestant just get internal injuries from that act?] — [That contestant was completely amateur! This one is clearly professional!]
... After adjusting.
Another soldier wielding a large hammer walked out of the crowd.
Su Yun couldn't help but size the man up and down, saying, “Both of them are quite good.”
The large hammer swung over his head, and with a burst of force, there was a loud 'boom!'
The stone slab shattered!
The bald soldier lying underneath brushed off the debris, completely unharmed!
“Good!”
Applause once again filled the venue.
Fatty Wang Fan gasped, mouth wide open: “Brother, this... this is too tough!”
Zheng Jianfeng said: “Fatty, learn more.
Lose some weight later and come join our Steel Regiment as a soldier!”
“I guarantee that with my training, you'll be able to do this one day!”
Hearing this, the Fatty shook his head in fright.
Su Yun smiled and said, “Big Brother Zheng, I think the one wielding the large hammer has the real skill...”
“Oh!?”
Zheng Jianfeng raised an eyebrow, very surprised: “Brother Su Yun, how so?”
“In shattering stone on the chest, the crucial element is not the person lying on the ground.”
“The key point is also not whether the stone slab is thick or thin...”
“The most important person is the one wielding the large hammer!”
Su Yun's words were startling.
The Fatty listened in confusion, while Zheng Jianfeng was so stunned he narrowed his eyes.
Su Yun continued to explain: “The one wielding the large hammer must focus on absolute control of force.”
“He must ensure the stone slab shatters while guaranteeing the person underneath is unharmed!”
“Therefore, the most critical person in shattering stone on the chest is the one wielding the large hammer!”
Zheng Jianfeng: ... Silence was the Cambridge of this evening.
He remained silent because every word Su Yun spoke was true!
He had thought the opening act of the bonfire party would impress people.
Yet... it was instantly seen through by him again.
Zheng Jianfeng felt complicated: Could it be that no one could truly surpass Su Yun!?
Besides, this kid was just a junk collector; where did he get so much strange and unusual knowledge!?
It would be fine if he just collected junk, but the key was that he understood so much!
Having finished speaking, Su Yun glanced sideways at his surroundings.
He just smiled without saying anything: Although his education level wasn't high, it didn't mean his IQ was low!
Moreover, with the daily sign-in bonus, the system had boosted his attributes... While others might have intelligence scores in the dozens or just over a hundred, Su Yun's had reached a terrifying level of around two hundred!
Far surpassing Einstein...
— [Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years!] — [Good, good, good, so the crucial point of shattering stone on the chest is actually here!] — [Oh right! My physics teacher taught us about this in school—it relates to the area of force and the point of impact...] — [Bringing up an unpleasant topic! I never passed physics!] — [University Student: Don't make me slap you when I'm happiest!]
... Next up.
The bonfire party performances were all impressive acts.
Some drank gasoline and performed fire-breathing, and others displayed marksmanship by wielding knives and guns...
The person Su Yun admired the most was an old squad leader from the mess hall!
His performance wasn't cooking; it was shattering paper with an inch punch!
And also, shattering porcelain bowls with a flick of his finger, where the bowl broke but didn't move!
A true master.
The entire party was broadcast live... Fans and netizens exclaimed how thrilling it was!
They said: How could a concert compare to the cost-effectiveness of watching Brother Su's livestream?
Holy cow!
Other livestreams can hype up one act all night, but here with Brother Su, they come one after another!
If any concert had a celebrity performing fire-breathing, I wouldn't be here...
Su Yun watched with great delight, deeply admiring the Steel Regiment soldiers in his heart.
They were truly warriors of steel!
Nearing the end.
Regiment Commander Hu, hands clasped behind his back, leisurely sat down next to Su Yun.
Perhaps it was spontaneous, or perhaps it was premeditated: “Comrade Su Yun.”
“How about you show us a trick too!”
“Tomorrow, let's hold a grand friendly competition in the Military Region!”
