第一章 小镇的早晨（5）

Crash! The sound of the fist smashing into the boulder made the hearts of all the children tremble.

“蓬！”拳头和青石的沉重低沉撞击声，让所有的孩子心脏狠狠一跳。

That was an extremely hard bluestone boulder!

那可是坚硬的青石啊。

The bluestone boulder trembled. Suddenly, six or seven giant cracks appeared on it, as with a ‘peng’ sound, it split into four or five pieces. But on Hillman’s fist, not the slightest injury could be seen.

只见那青石震动数下便出现了七八条裂痕，最终“蓬”的四分五裂，而希尔曼的拳头一点伤痕都没有。

“The Captain is as formidable as ever.” Lorry, one of the two other middle-aged men, laughed, as Hillman walked back towards them.

“队长还是那么厉害啊。”另外两个中年人之一的罗瑞笑着说道，同时朝希尔曼走了过来。

The other man, Roger (Luo’jie), also walked over. Usually, when the children practiced the ‘Qi Building Stance’, it was time for the three of them to relax and freely chat, while paying attention to any child who decided to slack off.

另外一个中年人‘罗杰’也走了过来。一般孩子们在锻炼‘蕴气式’的时候，便是这三位指导者轻松聊天的时间，他们间或者注意一下孩子没偷懒就成。

Hillman laughed as he shook his head. “No way. In the past, when I was in the army, every day I would train like crazy, while on the battlefield, I engage in bloody close combat. Nowadays, all I’m doing is relaxing and stretching my muscles a bit in the morning. I’m not filled with as much energy as in the past.”

希尔曼笑着摇头：“不行了，当年我在军队中的时候，每天都是拼命地锻炼，在战场上血腥的厮杀，而现在，每天最多松松筋骨而已，没当年那么充满激情了。”

All of the children stared worshipfully at Hillman.

所有的孩子们都崇拜地看着希尔曼。

That huge bluestone boulder was shattered by a single blow from his fist. What sort of power was this? And that three or four hundred pound boulder was so easily tossed with a flick of the arm. What sort of power was this?

那巨大的青石，竟然一拳头就砸个粉碎。这是什么实力？那三四百斤的石锁，竟然随意挥舞，这是什么力气？

Hillman turned his head. Staring at the children, he was very satisfied with the children’s reactions.

希尔曼掉过头来，看着这一群孩子的目光，心底很是满意孩子们的反应。

“Remember, even if you aren’t able to cultivate battle qi, in principle, if you reach your body’s fullest potential, you can still become a warrior of the sixth rank! And a sixth ranked warrior, upon entering the army, can easily become a mid-level officer, and easily obtain the military manuals which teach one how to cultivate battle qi! Even if you cannot become a warrior of the sixth rank, and can only become a common warrior of the first rank, you will still be qualified to enter the military. Remember! If a man isn’t able to become even a warrior of the first rank, that man can’t be considered a man at all!”

“你们记住，即使不靠斗气，单纯的锻炼肉体达到极限，理论上也是有可能成为六级战士的！而一名六级战士加入军队当中可以轻松成为中级军官，可以轻易获得军队中的斗气修炼方法！即使成为不了六级战士，只要成为最普通的一级战士，便有资格加入军队，记住，一个连一级战士都达不到的男人，那，他不是男人！”希尔曼面容冷厉。

“If you are a man, then you must raise your chest high, welcome any and all challenges, and fear nothing!”

“是男人，就应该挺起胸膛，迎接任何挑战，不容畏惧！”
