He was too arrogant.
This time, Jiang Ning was really too careless. Even though he had cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, he had only cultivated the first half of it. He had only increased the strength of a dragon and an elephant. Carrying a 500-pound sandbag was indeed a little difficult for Jiang Ning. If he used inner strength, he could even carry 500 pounds. However, he couldn't use inner strength.
He thought that he could only rely on his own body to carry the weight of 500 pounds. Moreover, Jiang Ning was extremely strict with himself. He could not be slow to a certain extent, so in the end, he ran last, almost the last place.
On this day, Jiang Ning had been running for twelve hours, and everyone else had been running for twelve hours as well.
When everything was over, everyone lay on the ground and exhaled heavily. Several hundred of the five thousand people fainted from exhaustion. Of course, there was no lack of people pretending to faint.
Jiang Ning was also lying on the ground, exhausted. Everyone was sweating profusely and did not even have the thought of lifting a finger.
After resting for a full hour, everyone went back on their own.
At night, Jiang Ning took a medicinal bath. He had been training for the entire day and his body was unable to take it anymore. He had to take a medicinal bath to heal the hidden injuries in his body. The rest of the disciples were the same. These medicinal herbs were relatively precious. If it was not for the fact that the Ming Cult was in a life-and-death situation, they would not have given them to ordinary disciples.
After eating a large amount of food, Jiang Ning practiced the basic fist technique, basic sword technique, basic palm technique, and basic movement technique ten times before sleeping soundly.
After sleeping for four hours, Jiang Ning woke up. After brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth, he returned to the martial arts stage.
At this moment, there were quite a number of people in the martial arts stage square. There were about a thousand people, and every one of them had a fearful expression. When they thought about yesterday's training, which one of them wasn't terrified? They finally realized what it meant to train like a devil.
This was simply making people die.
After the time for an incense stick to burn, other than the Ming Cult disciples who were still sick, the rest were basically all present.
At this moment, the sky had just brightened.
Jiang Ning looked at everyone. Although they looked a little panicked, they were all full of energy. After using the medicinal bath and eating a large amount of food, their internal injuries were not a problem. Instead, their physical fitness had become stronger.
"Everyone has already had a taste of yesterday's devil training. Today, we will still carry out the devil training. However, before we carry out the devil training, there is one more thing to deal with, and that is punishment!”
Jiang Ning said word by word, his expression extremely serious.
" As I said, those who were lazy yesterday will be severely punished. The countdown will be 100, and those who pretended to be sick, threw the sandbag, or gave the sandbag to others will be severely punished. Those who are lazy will be punished with ten lashes, the countdown will be ten lashes, the pretending to be sick will be twenty lashes, and the throwing of the sandbag will be twenty lashes. The two sandbags will be shared and receive ten lashes. I was counted down from 100 three times yesterday, so I will be punished with thirty lashes first. Men."”
Jiang Ning roared. Immediately, a group of strongmen appeared, holding thick ox-hide whips in their hands. These whips could break bones if they were to hit an ordinary person.
"Give it to me, thirty lashes. Use all your strength and don't cut corners.”
Jiang Ning said to a strongman.
The latter took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. He raised his whip and whipped Jiang Ning hard.
Pa!
The sound of the whip hitting the air was exceptionally loud. When it hit Jiang Ning, a green and red mark appeared on his body. His skin was cracked. Jiang Ning cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and had a strong body. However, he did not use inner strength, so his skin was cracked.
Hiss!
It hurt! It hurt! Jiang Ning frowned and took a deep breath.
"Continue." He roared.
Pa!
Another whip.
Immediately after, another whip appeared, and wounds appeared one after another. Especially on Jiang Ning's old wounds, it made Jiang Ning's face even more ferocious.
The thirty lashes were quickly finished. Jiang Ning's back was flowing with dark red blood. He spat out a few mouthfuls of air and then looked at the martial artists and said,"If you are a man, if you really want to become stronger, if you have done something wrong, stand up and say it out loud. Come up and receive the whip. If you don't stand up, I won't say anything. But remember, I gave you a chance to become stronger, but you didn't cherish it.”
He said in an excited tone.
For a moment, many people looked at each other. In the end, someone gritted his teeth and stood up, shouting,"Ming Cult's Sharp Gold Flag Disciple, Zhang Yang, counted down from 102 yesterday and threw away a sandbag.”
After saying this, he walked up to the stage and took a deep breath before continuing, Governor, please punish me."
"Yes."
Jiang Ning said with a cold expression. A strongman walked over, but the whip in his hand was smaller than the previous one. It was not as terrifying, but when the whip came down, the other party began to scream.
A whip!
Five whips!
Ten whips!
Twenty lashes!
Thirty lashes!
He had been whipped thirty times. He was in so much pain that his tears and snot were flowing. He curled up on the ground in pain and cried out in pain.
"Zhang Yang, from now on, you are the vice commander of the Sharp Gold Flag. Go down and apply the medicine. Rest for an hour and get lost.”
Jiang Ning opened his mouth and said that. Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment. His martial arts were average and his aptitude was average. He was an ordinary disciple of the Ming Cult and a vice flag bearer? He couldn't believe that he could get this position.
"Get lost."
Jiang Ning shouted. Zhang Yang wiped the tears and snot off his face and stood up, enduring the pain. Holding back the tears that were about to flow out, he shouted,""Thank you, Governor Jiang. I will definitely work hard and not let Governor Jiang down.”
After saying this, he went down and was treated with medicine.
"Who else?" Jiang Ning continued to ask.
"I, Li Chen of the Thick Earth Flag, threw away the sandbag yesterday. I will count down from 103 and accept my punishment.”
"I, Giant Wood Flag, Heng Yangfeng, counted down from 102 yesterday and am willing to be punished.”
"I, Flood Flag…"
One by one, people stood out. They were convinced by Jiang Ning's spirit and methods. If there was merit, there would be rewards. If there was punishment, there would be punishment. Jiang Ning's thirty lashes were real in front of everyone. There was no trace of faking it.
This kind of leader, how could they hide anything!
With Jiang Ning's temper, they were willing to be punished.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The sound of whips rang out one after another. Screams and cries rang out one after another. No one did not cry because it was too painful.
But no one complained.
Most of the people obediently went on stage to receive their punishment, but there was still a small number of people who did not go on stage. They were afraid, they were afraid. Jiang Ning originally wanted to punish them, but in the end, he rejected it. He only asked Anne to inform them that they did not have to come tomorrow.
Jiang Ning said that if they were given a chance to become strong, it was up to them whether they could grasp it.
After everyone had received their punishment, Jiang Ning continued.
"I am very satisfied with your performance. Now that I have received my last punishment, I will continue with my devil training.”
Hearing this, many people were curious. Yesterday, Jiangning carried ten sandbags on his back and indeed only counted down three times. The first few times didn't count down, so what kind of punishment was there?
"I am the governor of the four gates, and I am responsible for supervising all of you. However, some of you are not abiding by the rules. This is my fault, and I will punish you with fifty lashes.”
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and said firmly.
This was self-punishment.
"No!"
"Governor, you can't."
"Governor!"
Governor, please don't do this."
Thirty lashes had caused Jiang Ning to be like this. The whip was incomparably thick, even thicker than theirs. They didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if they were hit by one lash, let alone fifty lashes.
Therefore, they begged Jiang Ning not to do this.
"Military orders are like mountains. If you do something wrong, you will be punished. If you do something right, you will be rewarded.”
Jiang Ning ignored them. He was just showing them his courage. He wanted to take the lead. He had to be ruthless to himself in order to make them ruthless.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Whip after whip, Jiang Ning's expression was cold, and towards the end, his face was also pale.
The five thousand people looked at Jiang Ning in unison. They were deeply convinced by Jiang Ning. In the end, someone knelt on one knee and shouted loudly with tears in his eyes.
"Governor Jiang, please stop. We understand your intentions. I beg you, please stop.”
When someone did this, many people immediately knelt on one knee.
"Governor Jiang, I was wrong to wait. I was wrong to wait. Please stop.”
"Governor Jiang, we were wrong. Please don't be like this.”
They were all men, but they shed tears as they looked at Jiang Ning on the martial arts stage with respect and awe. This was a true man, a true martial artist.
In the end, all five thousand people knelt down and begged Jiang Ning to stop.
The strongmen who were beating Jiang Ning had all stopped. Kneel on the ground and beg Jiang Ning to stop.
"Fifty lashes. If you really don't want me to be punished, then perform well today.”
Jiang Ning had truly taught everyone a lesson on how to lead by example.
In the distance, Anne was already crying. Her heart ached for Jiang Ning, and she respected him even more. She did not stop him because she felt that this was how men should be.
This was a real man!
After 50 lashes, Jiang Ning couldn't take it anymore. It was Anne who came up to help Jiang Ning apply medicine. After feeding him a few pills to restore blood essence, Jiang Ning felt a little better.
After half an incense stick of time, Jiang Ning's expression became much better. He waved his hand and got everyone to stand up.
" Brothers, the Ming Cult is in danger. We cannot abandon the Ming Cult. We only have one choice, and that is to fight! Fight! Fight! We use our flesh and blood to protect our parents, wives, and children behind us, so I only hope that you will work hard, work hard, and work harder. Even if one day you can't protect your wives and children, at least you don't have to regret it because you have worked hard before, understand?”
Jiang Ning asked loudly like a lion.
"We know."
The five thousand people shouted in unison. Their voices were deafening, like a mountain torrent.
"If you know, then carry the sandbag and run! "No one is allowed to slack off. Whoever slacks off will be whipped to death tomorrow. However, today, you can choose how many sandbags you want to carry, but don't refuse to carry them. If I catch you, I'll whip you to death!”
Jiang Ning shouted loudly, and everyone burst into laughter. Then, they ran to carry the sandbag.
