Zhang Tie had no idea hoas going to stand the hunger until school was over He completely poured out his lunch earlier when he was beaten by the other members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood at noon, hence he had no choice but to stand the starvation When he could no longer stand the hunger, he would drink water like a fish at a water faucet at school between classes This was also a survival skill that he learned at school in this age Drinking clean water like a fish could alleviate starvation and slon the deterioration of physical strength A person without food and water could survive two days at most, yet a starved person with only water could survive for more than three days This showed the i Tie feel fortunate was that the class this afternoon was collective y In the training grounds for the entire afternoon, each undergraduate would wear infantry uniforer than threeThey would perfores under the orders of the instructor To be a level 1 pikeman and attain an e of manhood and was the dream of most students when they served the army Pikemen were the ones in the army that focused on formations and collective cooperation They can be both the strongest arm and the weakest A pikeman square matrix solely coainst the attacks from enemies ere not in formation and had three times their number

Similarly, a heavy-armored square matrix composed of fifth-ranked pikemen was an important force on the main battlefield With the citizens of Blackhot City and the millions of inhabitants that surrounded it, only three fifth-ranked heavy-armored square matrixes could be formed This was the ultimate force used by the Coal, Steel, and Iron Federation (CSIF) to rule the city

When the afternoon training ended, Zhang Tie felt like his whole stomach and belly was like a sac full of water Whenever he moved, the water inside would always make a sound which made him uncohtly fierce, bigTie would always feel the water inside his sto tide with a weird taste The moment it made his throat uncomfortable, it would fall back His hands were always powerless For several instances, Zhang Tie felt the instructor’s sharp stare on hi Tie had no other choice but to grit his teeth

The coach especially paid attention to Glaze The squarethe six squarefield Glaze, a LV 2 soldier, instantly displayed the difference between hireen birds He was as tall as 190chedattached to it Glaze stood out and commanded the whole square matrix Under the appreciative eyes of the coach, Grace becahost and howl like a wolf for each round was filled with his howls

Although Zhang Tie despised hiree, he would never deny that he would be killed by Glaze within a couple of ht to be proud With the exception of Glaze, the rest of the students in the graduating class were just reserve soldiers, not even first-ranked soldiers Normally, most people would be proe of 18, na the eight years of military service, more than 95 of the commoners would retire at the third or the fourth rank, while a few of them would reach the fifth rank Only professional soldiers and people who survived on the force ht reach the sixth rank Soldiers ere proain respect wherever they were
