Is this still called basic training?

It wasn't Li Feng who opened his eyes on his own after three seconds. It was because his body was hit by a laser. The feeling of his flesh and bones melting made him understand that although, according to Xiao Jin, this pain was within his mental tolerance range. Li Feng learned an idiom - a fate worse than death! He truly experienced the horror of advanced civilization. This was practically an experiment on the verge of physical and mental breakdown. Li Feng began the real hellish training. However, don't think that this was just the robot doing things mechanically. If it were other civilizations, it might be possible. But the Maya civilization was originally a branch of Earth civilization, just the most advanced one. If those military experts saw this training method, they might consider it a precious find and worship Xiao Jin like a god, because this was the ultimate dream they had been pursuing all their lives. But due to various backwardness, they were far from being able to achieve it. Li Feng, who was in a fortunate situation, wasn't ungrateful. But he was just a high school student, not a real soldier. If it weren't for the self-training he had started since junior high school, he might really have broken down. This was also an error in Xiao Jin's calculation. That is, the calculated verge of breakdown could change randomly. But Li Feng was indeed different from ordinary people. An ordinary high school student from an ordinary family would never be obsessed with such boring training. But Li Feng did it. When he experienced a bit of benefit from the pain, Li Feng gritted his teeth and endured with all his might. He knew very clearly that either he completed the training alive or he would die here and become a vegetable! He didn't want to die. He had parents, friends... and he was still a virgin! What Xiao Jin called the simplest basics actually involved tempering each part of the body and mastering them proficiently. For example, previously, when Li Feng kicked, his leg could at most reach near his head, which was already quite exaggerated. But now, he had to kick until his leg was perpendicular to the ground, and the time had to be shortened to between 0.3 and 0.4 seconds. Otherwise, it would be... a failure! The most basic training took a whole month. During the first week of this month, Li Feng thought about suicide three times and was on the verge of breakdown twice. But he managed to get through it. He was even surprised himself that he could actually survive. But it was true. He didn't die during Xiao Jin's so-called simple basic training. And Li Feng renamed Xiao Jin "Devil Jin". For the one-month training, Xiao Jin gave Li Feng a barely passing score. According to the Earthlings' way of calculating, it was 61 points, with one point being an encouragement award. The result of the basic training was that Li Feng could fully and completely utilize each part of his body. At the same time, he could make accurate attack responses under ten times the gravity. But these were still basic. In Devil Jin's words, this was just mechanical movement, the basic requirement of a warrior... It felt really strange to be described as mechanical movement by a robot. Besides that, it was about the ability to withstand various attacks. Due to constantly receiving laser, electric shock, radiation and other attacks, Li Feng had a very good understanding of the effects produced by these attacks on a mental level. After experiencing them N times, he had completely lost his fear. At the same time, he understood the advantages and disadvantages of these attacks to the greatest extent. This training came from the simplest analogy. The visual and psychological effects of a person attacking you with a wooden sword and with a sharp long knife are completely different. Therefore, the counterattacks are also different. Due to being too nervous and afraid, one would perform abnormally to some extent when facing the latter. And the laser training, besides tempering the body, was on the other hand to completely eliminate this fear, so that one could make a calm and optimal judgment in any situation. In Devil Jin's view, Li Feng barely managed to do this. It wasn't that Devil Jin was too devilish. It was because its emotional system was severely damaged, which made it so rigid. Li Feng didn't know whether this was lucky or unlucky for him. The mental reactions, through the adjustment of the system, were directly connected to Li Feng's body. At the same time, various aspects of gene self-evolution were carried out. This evolution was not like that of the Ivants, which was passive. It was completely from the body itself, which meant that the existing technology on Earth couldn't detect it at all. In principle, the environment determines the direction of evolution. And Devil Jin accelerated this process using the power of the Maya civilization. Of course, in the robot's concept, this was a common sense without any feeling. But for others... this was simply god-like creativity. Unfortunately, Li Feng didn't feel this at all and didn't have the mood to think about it. Every day, he only had training and sleep. He even skipped eating, drinking, and using the toilet. The reason there was sleep was that it was necessary. The spiritual world also needed rest, and eight hours was the optimal effect. More than that was useless, and less than that was insufficient. At the beginning, Li Feng couldn't adapt at all. Either he couldn't fall asleep or he had nightmares. When he wanted to sleep, he would be gently awakened by the laser. After a few days of repetition, he had learned how to control entering deep sleep to get the fullest rest. But the good times didn't last long. After enjoying it for a week, although the sleep time was still eight hours, there would be one to three attacks during these eight hours. That is to say, he had to maintain a certain level of alertness. It seemed contradictory, but Devil Jin said there was a balance in it, and Li Feng had to find it himself and must do it. Li Feng was on the verge of crying. Was this training for a Mobile Suit pilot or a killer? But Devil Jin wouldn't listen to reason. In dangerous moments, human potential was also fully stimulated. It only took him three days to get used to this kind of sleep. This wasn't just a matter of training to sleep. The most direct reaction was that when facing danger, Li Feng would have an indescribable premonition. A veteran who had been through many battles often had this feeling. Occasionally, some geniuses with relatively strong mental power could also do it. They called it the sixth sense. And Li Feng had really trained this out. But all of these were just basic training. The first month had just ended, and immediately the subsequent training began! At that time, Li Feng had only one feeling: How wonderful life was last month!
