The Strongest Dandy in the City

20: Chapter 20 Training Begins 20: Chapter 20 Training Begins The dormitory at Leap Troop was shared by four people, and when Ye Chenfeng walked in, three other guys around his age were bragging and chatting away.

The sound of the door caught their attention and all three looked up at Ye Chenfeng.

A friendly smile appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s face as he introduced himself, “Brothers, from now on, we’ll be comrades in the same dormitory.

My name is Ye Chenfeng, and I just joined Leap Troop’s training today.”

Seeing the handsome man who walked into the dorm, confidently introducing himself with a smile, the other three also felt embarrassed to just stand there.

As the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face!

They introduced themselves in turn.

The most physically imposing of the three was named Lu Tian, the one who always had a smile on his face was Zhou Ping, and the last, who spoke very little, was Gu Le.

Through a round of self-introductions, Ye Chenfeng got to know a bit about them.

All three came from families with military backgrounds and had grown up in military districts.

They aspired to take their skills to the next level, so they had used their family connections to come for training at Leap Troop.

Zhou Ping, the most cheerful of the trio, walked over and, acting familiar, clapped a hand on Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder and said, “Bro, you must be pretty awesome, how did you get into Leap Troop?

We’ve never seen new recruits joining halfway through the training before!”

Leap Troop was run like an academy, with a batch of trainees leaving the troop each year and another batch of fresh recruits joining.

Until now, not a single person had joined partway through!

It’s important to note that Leap Troop’s hellish training was progressively ramped up, meaning that joining midway required one to withstand particularly harsh training from the start, without any period of adjustment.

Normally, most people couldn’t bear such severity.

Of course, if someone said that instructor Lin Zhonghu had agreed to let Ye Chenfeng join because of Ye Dongjian, that was before the match with Ye Chenfeng.

After that, he was truly willing to have Ye Chenfeng join, because having a master like Ye Chenfeng would only enhance the overall strength of the troop.

Not wanting them to know he was from the Ye family in Capital City, Ye Chenfeng casually said, “My uncle is good friends with an instructor in Leap Troop, so he pulled some strings to let me join in halfway.”

“Ye Chenfeng, Leap Troop isn’t a place for jokes; the training here can be lethal at any time.

Are you mentally prepared for that?” asked Lu Tian, the most muscular among them.

Touching his nose in embarrassment, Ye Chenfeng said, “I’ve always been very weak since I was a child and wanted to come out and toughen up to improve my physical condition.

If I really can’t persist, it’s still not too late for me to drop out.”

“The training here is bearable.

We can help you if you need it,” said Gu Le, simply and directly, clearly not fond of talking much.

After chatting for a while, the four of them started to become more familiar with each other, especially Zhou Ping, who was the most talkative and bragged about anything and everything with great enthusiasm.

The next day, when the sky was still dim, the assembly whistle blew, and all members of Leap Troop quickly gathered in the training ground at top speed.

Instructor Lin Zhonghu cast a meaningful glance at Ye Chenfeng standing in the ranks before snapping back to attention and barking, “Today’s assembly took five seconds longer than usual, so skip breakfast.”

Although the trainees were dissatisfied underneath, each of them responded loudly, “Yes!”

These days, they had gradually become accustomed to this kind of extreme strictness.

At first, those who were unconvinced had challenged Lin Zhonghu to spars, only to come away bruised and battered.

Since then, they dared not utter a single word of dissent to the instructor.

Once the training began, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed with the severity of Leap Troop’s drills.

Compared to the training he had undergone in his previous life, this was like comparing an elephant to an ant.

However, given the poor quality of his current body, this level of training was still beneficial.

Originally, Lu Tian, Zhou Ping, and Gu Le thought Ye Chenfeng would persist for at most half a month, given the intensity of the current training that even they, who had been there from the start, could barely endure.

But to their astonishment, Ye Chenfeng went from being exhausted like a dead dog every day to acting as if nothing was wrong after training, a mystery that left them scratching their heads.

In the dormitory, just after training, Zhou Ping, panting heavily, flopped onto Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder, who was unfazed, and breathlessly exclaimed, “Chenfeng, are you even human?

Did you take Viagra or something?”

After a month of hanging out, Ye Chenfeng had become one of the gang, and they enjoyed joking around with each other.

Pushing Zhou Ping away without amusement, Ye Chenfeng laughed and said, “Little Ping, if you think Viagra makes a difference, why don’t you down a whole bottle in one go?

You could definitely surpass me and become a stud then.

The training here would just be a piece of cake for you, wouldn’t it?”

“I think not,” replied Zhou Ping with a mock roll of his eyes, his body laying back on the bed, “if I took a whole bottle, I’d probably end up exploding down there.”

“Chenfeng, I agree with Zhou Ping, are you sure you didn’t take any banned substances?” Originally, Lu Tian was the least optimistic about Ye Chenfeng, but now Ye Chenfeng’s abilities were even better than his own, which was a blow to his pride.

“Chenfeng might actually be a master already!” Gu Le, always brief in speech, was as succinct as ever.

“Cut it out!

A master, come on!

He’s just got a bit more stamina than us.

If Chenfeng is a master, then I, Zhou Ping, am Spider-Man.

Isn’t that nonsense?” Zhou Ping said weakly from his bed.

In truth, Gu Le wasn’t wrong.

After a month of training, Ye Chenfeng’s physical condition had greatly improved.

Although it was still not comparable to his previous life, he could at least stabilize his Soul Force at the Second Level Peak without a problem.

In other words, if Lin Zhonghu were to challenge him to a spar now, he was one hundred percent confident of winning.

The current intensity of training at Leap Troop was minuscule for him now, and to break through to the Third Level Soul Force, it would take a long time of training alone.

Using medicinal aids would be much simpler, so now he had to find an excuse to leave the training camp for real.

He had originally promised the old man to come here to improve his physical fitness, but now that staying here no longer resulted in any progress, it completely extinguished Ye Chenfeng’s interest in staying.
