Chapter 251: A punishment that even the primitives dare not think lightly

Push-ups, an exercise relying on one's body weight, cannot be measured by the difference in individual strength.

Just like how an inconspicuous ant can lift its weight several times or even many times, while an elephant, whose strength is much greater than an ant's, would struggle to lift something twice its body weight.

Similarly, while Han Cheng found push-ups relatively easy, for Second Senior Brother and others who had never done this exercise, it seemed like a matter of life and death.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

The initial feeling of ease quickly vanished, and some people's bodies couldn't stop trembling.

Of course, not everyone struggled as much, but the initial sense of ease disappeared.

"Lower your buttocks," Han Cheng instructed.

"Smack"

As the Second Senior Brother tried to follow Han Cheng's instructions, his buttocks touched the ground involuntarily.

And now, Han Cheng had only counted to eight.

"Get up! Don't lie there!" Second Senior Brother gritted his teeth and pushed his body up, trembling.

It felt like ages before Han Cheng finally said "nine."

Those who had been struggling quickly bent their arms to do one.

The most painful and frustrating part of doing push-ups was not doing them continuously but holding the arms straight to maintain the position.

In later years, during physical education classes and military training, Han Cheng often wanted to kick the buttocks of the slowly counting teacher or instructor to get them to finish counting faster.

However, now that it was his turn to count, his speed unconsciously slowed down

Was this the kind of elusive, psychological revenge where others also experience one's suffering?

It was like peasant uprisings throughout history.

In the beginning, they rebelled against corrupt officials as oppressed people. But once they achieved certain victories, their demeanor immediately changed. When they took action, they were even more ruthless and decisive than the previous corrupt officials

"Ten."

"Hoo~ Hoo~"

After completing ten push-ups, Second Senior Brother and Balloon, already sweating profusely, breathed heavily as if they had been released from captivity.

Because instead of twenty push-ups, it was forty!

The Divine Child valued fairness and wouldn't let people be foolish.

With smoke coming out of his head and sweat dripping, Eldest Senior Brother, amidst his panting, realized how he had "died."

The Divine Child explained that since he had completed the task within thirty counts last time but had now reached one hundred and twenty, regressing so much warranted double the punishment.

After carefully considering the Divine Child's explanation, Eldest Senior Brother and the Vine Shield team members felt it made perfect sense, and doing forty push-ups each wasn't unfair.

As a real man, Eldest Senior Brother now truly understood the difficulty of push-ups; his arms were still trembling.

He now completely understood why everyone reacted the way they did when doing push-ups.

But he also became more confused. Why was it so easy for the Divine Child to do them?

He pondered it for a while, but the more he thought, the more puzzled he became. After hesitating, he finally asked about it, seeking an explanation.

The others also stretched their necks and perked up their ears, equally puzzled by the matter.

Han Cheng smiled and nodded. Amid everyone's anticipation, he said, "Want to know?"

Everyone nodded eagerly.

Han Cheng, the great Divine Child, smiled faintly. "No way!"

Everyone was speechless.

Han Cheng added with a smile, "Just focus on practicing standing in line well. When you've got that down, I'll tell you."

With the motivation provided by the great Divine Child's guidance, everyone's enthusiasm for practicing standing in line soared.

They stared intently at the person in front of them. Once they noticed someone in front standing in the wrong position, they would pull them back forcefully.

In this atmosphere, after practicing dispersing and assembling five more times, all four squads could complete it within twenty-five counts.

The efficiency was simply unbelievable.

Amidst everyone's eager anticipation, Han Cheng finally explained why it was so easy for him to do push-upspractice.

This left the eagerly anticipating crowd somewhat disappointed. In their eyes, the Divine Child should be somewhat different from everyone else, preferably with some connection to the heavens

While they thought this way, upon careful consideration, they also felt that what the Divine Child said was not wrong. For example, in archery, many didn't even know how to draw a bow at first, but after practicing more, they could shoot arrows at the target.
