Free Web NovelChapter 172: Chapter 141: To Train Beasts, First Train Yourself
The trainers, utterly exhausted, looked at each other, their faces a mixture of shock, frustration, and a hint of helplessness.
They were silent for a long moment.
Finally, a female trainer, her forehead glistening with sweat and her face flushed, clicked her tongue and spoke in disbelief. "Yang Qi... Is this really how Advisor Yang usually trains Hu Zi and Leopard? By taking them on a wild run all over the mountains? And he runs with them the whole time?"
The others were speechless.
After a while, a male trainer who was the first to recover wiped the sweat from his face and said with a wry smile, "I hate to admit it, but Advisor Yang is truly incredible. I’m talking about his physique and stamina. I feel like he’s in better shape than many professional marathon runners or mountain trail racers." freewebnσvel.cѳm
"That speed just now, on that incline... He wasn’t even breathing hard!"
"Yeah, it’s monstrous."
"This isn’t a training intensity a normal person could possibly keep up with."
"No wonder Hu Zi and Leopard are in such great shape. If they train like this every day, it’d be hard for them not to be!"
The other trainers chimed in, their voices filled with amazement and a touch of envy.
Suddenly, another trainer who had been mostly silent sighed and said gloomily, "But there’s no way we can replicate this method."
His words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the flicker of excitement that had just ignited within them.
That was right. Yang Qi’s inhuman stamina and his almost telepathic rapport with the dogs were far beyond what ordinary trainers like them could ever hope to achieve.
Have them run wild in the mountains with the police dogs like this every day?
They were afraid it wouldn’t take more than a few days before the trainers all ended up in the hospital, long before the police dogs were properly trained.
The scene fell into silence once more, with only the sound of heavy panting and the wind rustling through the forest.
The group stared in the direction where Yang Qi and the police dogs had disappeared, a mix of complicated emotions swirling within them.
This new advisor had taught them a vivid and "cruel" lesson on his very first day.
...
Yang Qi had fully expected that the trainers wouldn’t be able to keep up.
An ordinary person’s stamina, even with training, would make it difficult to keep up with a pack of dogs at full sprint for an extended period, especially in mountainous terrain.
He had never expected the trainers to be there for the entire run anyway.
Therefore, after confirming he had left the trainers far behind, Yang Qi activated the Spirit Crane Body Technique for the second half of the mountain trail.
He controlled his pace, keeping it within a range that the police dogs could match without it being too easy. With light steps, he led the excited "four-legged army" behind him as they galloped to their hearts’ content.
This mountain trail run was an opportunity for the police dogs to completely unleash their instincts and physical capabilities.
It had been a long time since they had run so freely and uninhibitedly through a true mountain wilderness. Every single one was exceptionally excited, their spirits soaring to their peak state.
Leading the pack of police dogs, who still seemed eager for more, Yang Qi returned to the base’s training grounds to find Vice Director Zhao and all the trainers already waiting there.
Most of the trainers were looking down, their expressions sheepish and guilty. They had clearly just been lectured by Vice Director Zhao.
From a distance, Yang Qi secretly circulated his Magical Power to control his own body. He made his face flush slightly, forced fine beads of sweat to appear on his forehead, and deliberately made his breathing a little ragged, creating the perfect illusion of someone who had just undergone intense, draining exercise.
As he drew closer, he didn’t greet Vice Director Zhao immediately. Instead, he crouched down and clapped his hands to get the attention of the police dogs, who were trickling back onto the field, still panting with their tongues out, buzzing with post-run excitement.
"You all did great. Now, let’s cool down."
As he spoke, he started with the nearest German Shepherd, Hei Feng, reaching out to gently rub, knead, and pat several key muscle groups and joints on its body.
It looked like an ordinary cool-down massage, but in reality, Yang Qi was secretly channeling the pure Magical Power within his body, transforming it into gentle streams of warmth that seeped into the police dog’s body through his palms.
This Magical Power wasn’t a forceful infusion. Instead, it acted as the most subtle of guides, helping the police dog quickly regulate the circulation that had been slightly disrupted by the intense exercise, relieving muscle fatigue, soothing its excited nerves, and, at the same time, imperceptibly nourishing its muscles and bones, enhancing their resilience and vitality.
"WOOO..."
Hei Feng, being tended to, squinted its eyes in comfort and let out a contented rumble from its throat.
Its breathing, which had been rapid from the run, quickly settled. Its eyes grew soft and satisfied, and its whole body relaxed as it lay down.
Yang Qi’s movements didn’t stop; he methodically moved on to the next police dog...
His massage technique seemed simple and repetitive, but the position of every touch, the weight and rhythm of the pressure, and the amount of Magical Power he infused were all subtly adjusted for each police dog’s breed, size, and specific post-run condition.
On the side, Vice Director Zhao, the group of trainers, and several of the base’s veterinarians who had rushed over after hearing the news were all completely dumbfounded!
The group watched with their own eyes as every single police dog that Yang Qi "massaged" underwent a visible transformation in just one or two minutes.
They went from a state of post-run hyper-excitement and panting to one of calm, relaxation, and comfort. Their eyes became clear, and even their fur seemed to have become smoother and shinier.
It was as if they hadn’t just gone through intense exercise, but had instead enjoyed a top-tier deep-conditioning spa treatment!
’Aren’t these results a little too immediate?’
’It’s faster and more effective than any of our professional cool-down techniques, or even sedatives!’ freewēbnoveℓ.com
The veterinarians’ eyes were wide, and they were dying to rush over and ask Yang Qi what techniques he was using, which acupoints he was pressing, and how he was controlling his strength.
But seeing Yang Qi’s intense focus and the sweat on his brow, they were afraid to disturb him. They could only hold back, discussing it amongst themselves in hushed, incredulous tones.
Vice Director Zhao was just as shocked, but his thoughts ran deeper.
He had been skeptical when the trainers reported that the "method was impossible to replicate," but now, after witnessing Yang Qi’s miraculous "massage" skill and the dogs’ practically transformative state afterward...
...he finally understood that Yang Qi’s abilities were truly not something an ordinary person could ever hope to imitate or learn!
When Yang Qi finished "massaging" the last police dog, he deliberately let his body sway. More sweat beaded on his face, which turned a "perfectly" timed shade of pale, and his arms and legs hung limply at his sides.
He staggered a couple of steps, swayed, and then with a THUD, he "collapsed" right onto the grass...
