Chapter Fourteen: Comprehensive Enhancement

  Jing Yang didn't sleep well yesterday and was tense all day. He quickly fell asleep as soon as he got into his sleeping bag.

  The mountain eagle circled around his tent for a check and didn't find any problems, only then did he start thinking about the training plan.

  The sky had just lit up, and Jing Yang got up. Morning exercise was a habit he had developed since childhood. When he came out, the mountain eagle was already waiting for him in front of two wooden boxes.

  "Good morning! Did you sleep well?"

  "It's okay, are we going for training?" Jing Yang looked at Shan Ying who had prepared a large backpack and a Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle, and asked.

  "Every morning, an hour of weight-bearing running, the backpack weighs fifteen kilograms, plus this Barrett is about fifteen kilograms, can thirty kilograms of weight-bearing running be done? If you think it's not doable, you can leave the gun behind."

  The mountain eagle spoke in a gentle tone, but somehow it still sounded a bit overbearing.

  "No problem!" Jing Yang readily agreed.

  As for this point, Yang Jun was never serious about it. He can be said to have been carrying a heavy load since he was young and running with it. Even if the mountain eagle didn't do so, he would still do it himself.

  An hour later, Jing Yang easily completed the task and looked like he could run for another hour without any problem. Shan Ying couldn't help but like him even more.

  "I've seen you fight, and while you have a good foundation, you're a bit stiff and your biggest weakness is that you don't know how to use your fists well. So starting today, I'll teach you a practical combat technique."

  "The Eagle said, 'Actually, many countries' martial arts have referenced your Chinese Kung Fu. I suggest you integrate and master what you've learned, and I believe you'll summarize the most effective and practical martial art.'"

  For Jing Yang, who has a good foundation in martial arts, the technique is just a set of fist methods. However, this set of fist methods is like opening a window in his heart, making him suddenly enlightened, and realizing that fist methods can be simpler and more direct to apply, with better effects!

  The set of combat skills taught by Shan Ying can be said to have combined the strengths of various schools, and each country's special forces learn different combat skills. Shan Ying also summarized this set of combat skills through many years of experience.

  He believes that Jing Yang, if combined with the Chinese Kung Fu he has learned since childhood, will definitely exert greater power.

  "What you need to practice most now is your physical strength, as well as your attacking power and speed. I suggest you practice punching speed in seawater, the resistance of water can improve your attacking speed, and your strength and attacking intensity are what you need to work hard on in reality. I think you should also have a good way to practice, just feel which method is better for yourself."

  The mountain eagle is indeed a good teacher, he doesn't want to forcibly instill some things in Jing Yang, with such a good foundation it shows that his own training method is feasible, so he just hopes that Jing Yang can choose a more suitable training method for himself.

  Shan Ying doesn't quite understand Jing Yang's previous training methods, what he needs to do is correct and guide him.

  Jing Yang indeed had many ways to increase the intensity of his training, according to Shan Ying's arrangement, after running with weights, Jing Yang would practice martial arts, including hand-to-hand combat, knife skills and staff techniques, all of which were easy for him.

  After lunch is the training project that Jingyang is most interested in, because the whole afternoon is a firearms course. Today, Jingyang practiced bilateral flat support with Barrett to train arm strength and stability.

  Without the 14 kilograms of bullets, Shan Ying knew that as long as he could steadily hold this gun, there would be no problem with other guns. Of course, his purpose was not to let Jing Yang carry the Barrett to snipe at targets.

  After dinner, Shan Ying would give him tactical lessons and knowledge of various firearms, as well as have him practice disassembling and reassembling guns to familiarize himself with their structure. He brought a variety of firearms and enough ammunition for Jing Yang to practice.

  The survival of the mountain eagle left Jing Yang in awe, he was simply a collector of weapons, and basically all the weapons that Jing Yang could think of were here.

  Three months passed like this, and in less than a hundred days, Jing Yang made significant progress. He integrated his fighting skills into Sanshou, feeling that the moves he knew were much more practical than before. Additionally, his physical fitness was further improved.

  After three months of training in combat skills, Jing Yang was very confident that if he met Ted and the other eight again, he would definitely be able to take them all down, feeling that previously he had been too clumsy.

  Jing Yang's marksmanship has also made great progress in the past three months, as he practices live-fire shooting every afternoon, with Shan Ying, a god-level sniper, providing one-on-one guidance, resulting in an absolutely rapid improvement.

  In just three months, Jing Yang was able to achieve an average score of over 9 rings in fixed target shooting, which is the average score for an entire afternoon.

  In the early days, Shan Ying didn't teach Yang how to snipe, his intention was still to lay a good foundation, and when the time came, practicing sniping would be twice as effective.

  In these three months, Jing Yang has started to use knives and sticks to hit snakes for food, learned to fish, and can identify some edible plants and fruits. However, he still operates on the edge of the forest, as the mountain eagles have not allowed him to go deeper.

  "Jing Yang, your progress is quite evident. It's time to teach you the real skills now." Shan Ying said, taking out a strong crossbow and asking: "Do you know what this is?"

  "Of course I know, this thing has existed in our country for thousands of years." Jing Yang said as soon as he saw it.

  "What do you think, if you didn't have a gun, would a crossbow or a bow and arrow be more useful?" Shan Ying asked.

  "The bow and arrow are very useful, I think they're more flexible and mobile." Jing Yang said without thinking.

  Shan Ying nodded and smiled, then took out a rectangular box containing some parts. With the help of Shan Ying's single hand and both feet, they quickly assembled it into a modern compound bow under Jing Yang's gaze.

  Jing Yang saw it and exclaimed: "This bow is simply too cool!"

  The design of this bow is quite beyond Yang's expectation, at first you can't even see that it's a bow, it's as big as a folding umbrella, and in the hands of Mountain Eagle, it quickly becomes a bow.

  "Alright, your training starts today with archery. You will also learn how to make use of objects around you to create bows and arrows at any time."

  The mountain eagle handed this bow to Jing Yang, then took out an arrow made at some unknown time and said, "Do you need me to demonstrate?"

  "Alright!"

  Jing Yang hastily handed the folding composite bow to Shan Ying, who had never used a bow and arrow before. The arrows he saw were very simple, made of wood, with no metal arrowheads at the front, and instead of feathers at the back, they had a paper-folded shape similar to the tail wing of a rocket for balance.

  It was so simple that Jing Yang didn't even notice that the arrow had been taken by a mountain eagle in its talons. Although it had lost one arm, it still had a way to do things. It sat on the ground and used its foot to hold down the bow, then placed the arrow on the main string. Without using the sighting mirror on the bow handle, it aimed at a snake crawling tens of meters away with its head held high.

  As the pulleys at both ends of the compound bow rotated, the bowstring was drawn open, and the mountain eagle seemed to shoot this arrow by feeling. Then, the seven-inch part of that snake was pierced by this arrow that couldn't even be called an arrow.

  Jing Yang applauded and cheered, Shan Ying's speed towards the target was naturally calculated very accurately. Earlier, Shan Ying had told Jing Yang that this was a kind of realm, in other words, it was a precise feeling born from extensive practice.

  "I'm doing this demonstration to tell you that any object around you can become your weapon, just a straight wooden stick and a piece of paper, in your hands they can turn into deadly arrows, I believe you should know the principle."

  The words of Shan Ying made Jing Yang suddenly enlightened again, and he seemed to understand many things at once.

  "How's your shooting feeling?"

  The mountain eagle knew that it wouldn't be easy for Yang to master archery in a short time, this would require long-term practice.

  "Teacher, I'm still not confident with moving targets." Jing Yang said, knowing his own abilities.

  "This is also something you need to practice, I've already prepared it for you," said the Eagle, taking out some buoy-like objects from a box, each with a miniature target attached, the bullseye being a prominent red color, about the size of a beer bottle cap.

  "Teacher, what is this?" Jing Yang asked curiously.

  "Go put these buoys in the sea, first at twenty-five meters." Shan Ying said, pointing to the sea.

  Jing Yang put down two according to what Shan Ying said, thinking: It can't be that I'm supposed to hit the small target on the floating mark, this is not easy.

  "After preparation, you first use the M24 sniper rifle to install a 2.2 times sighting mirror, aim only without shooting, when you can clearly see the target heart, then remove the sighting mirror and look at the target heart with your naked eye, when you can see it clearly again, proceed with shooting training."

  The float on the sea surface is not stationary, it will float back and forth with the water, so the target also shakes. The mountain eagle lets Jing Yang train like this, just to let him get used to moving targets. For Jing Yang, this is just a basic lesson.

  Another three months have passed, and Jing Yang is still only active on the edge of the forest. The mountain eagle has not allowed him to venture into the depths for adventure. In the previous stage, his main task was to master the most basic skills first.

  In the eyes of the mountain eagle, the most basic things are accurate shooting, agile reaction, superhuman physical ability, and superb fighting skills. Additional skills include archery, and wilderness survival is always in progress at all times.

  Now except for accurate shooting still lacking a bit, the other several scenes Yang did are not bad, because three months of killing snakes trained his reaction ability.

  Now the third stage of training begins, that is, the special combat skills training of Jing Yang. The bow and arrow were not chosen by Shan Ying for Jing Yang, but he himself. In many tasks, crossbows are a must-have weapon for special forces.

  The uses of bows and crossbows are basically the same, but Shan Ying thinks that if used well, the use of bows will be greater than that of crossbows, and more flexible in movement, so he let Jing Yang train this skill.

  To say nothing of crossbows which don't require much training to operate, but bows and arrows are a different story.

  Every day was a monotonous repetition of training, and by the fifth month, Jing Yang could hit the small bullseye on the floating target 25 meters away at sea with an M24 sniper rifle without a scope. After that, Shan Ying let him start practicing shooting the floating target bullseye with both hands holding an M1911 pistol.
