Feng Yi's special training plan cycles every week, divided essentially into two sections: Mecha combat and single soldier close combat. Broader knowledges such as the basics of military theory are interspersed and guided by training staff. The cycle continues every half month.

After all, Feng Yi's training method is quite different from the military. He places more emphasis on strengthening individual skills.

In the second month, the soldiers will step out of the safe isolation layer on Mars and come into contact with the harsh reality of the environment. Only by honing one's skills in extreme natural conditions can humans' innate wild instincts be unleashed.

Besides, Feng Yi's mental ability inducement test had already started. The mental sensor was urgently air shipped from Alpha, a process that took nearly half a month. The rest just comes down to gradually inducing the soldiers' mental abilities through machines.

As for how many soldiers can succeed, it's hard to say. Perhaps all can, or none can pass the test. There are too many unknown factors at this level. If mental abilities were so easy to develop, special ability users wouldn't have been given so much importance.

Presently, Feng Yi would often organize the soldiers for a collective mental power test just after they'd finished their daytime training and eaten dinner. Tomorrow, the soldiers would return to the uninhabited zone like madmen to continue their wilderness survival training.

The soldiers were no longer confined to special training within the safe isolation layer. Instead, as the first month's appetizer ended, they were welcomed by a real all-weather survival marathon task.

In the beginning, the soldiers couldn't physically tolerate the reactions brought about by the Martian environment. However, with continued training, they naturally adapted. Humans are, after all, highly adaptive creatures. There are no endpoints or shortcuts on this road. Only endless competitive rivalry, the memory of the hardships and sweat, and the occasional canned beef. In fact, during the four days of the survival assessment, each soldier was given one pound of canned beef and two live rats. This food, which barely maintained their daily physical consumption in the harsh environment, had to be supplemented by foraging for themselves.

As for water, it was non-existent. To get drinking water in the Martian environment, one needed to dig three feet into the ground. Hence, urine sometimes became a desperate measure.

Those rodents that would ordinarily make people sick to their stomach had now become popular survival items at the training base. The soldiers would rather swallow a live rat than eat a Daram Flying Bug with its green body fluids. And there were many other creatures they had never seen or heard of before.

The special training was still proceeding systematically, but the plan to induce mental power showed no progress. During this period, Feng Yi wracked his brain and tried every means, but only three people became successful cases.

The first soldier: Wang Gan. This Lieutenant named Wang Gan had a keen innate environmental sense. He finally entered the state of external mental power during an accidental situation.

The second person: Klein. Klein originally had a mutated physique. She had a very strong magnetic field around her body. Feng Yi wasn't surprised that she passed the test.

As for the third person, Zhang Xiaobo. His success greatly surprised Feng Yi, who initially had no hope for him. As Feng Yi had expected, Zhang Xiaobo, no matter how hard he tried, couldn't sense any mental power. But then, during one test, Zhang Xiaobo fell asleep. Feng Yi had only asked him to relax more, but within a few seconds, Zhang Xiaobo's body resonated with the external magnetic field.

In fact, controlling the Spiritual Magnetic Field is just one aspect and a necessary condition for entering the Air Travel state. If one can't even sense the Spiritual Magnetic Field, it's impossible to enter the Air Travel state. Zhang Xiaobo thought it was fun and tried it several days in a row, gradually getting the hang of it.

Overall, this experiment was a complete failure. Feng Yi, feeling frustrated, shut himself in his room for a whole day, pondering over it. He didn't want to waste time on things that weren't making any progress. Therefore, he decided to use Zhang Xiaobo's method of releasing mental power on the other soldiers. It might have been successful, but he spent the whole night trying to no avail.

Indeed, just because Zhang Xiaobo could fall asleep in a few seconds doesn't mean all soldiers can. In contrast, none of them could do it, including Feng Yi.

For this reason, Feng Yi specifically contacted Dr. Rhine of the Wind Thunder Military Academy. He couldn't throw away all his previous efforts.

Dr. Rhine's response was simpler. He specifically pointed out that those who could naturally fall asleep like Zhang Xiaobo have naturally strong brain domain nerves. It is rare and most people simply can't do it. Despite his unique ability being as rare as those of a mental ability user, he wouldn't receive any recognition from the government as it wasn't of much public use.

In other words, all of the above methods weren't worth referencing. Therefore, Feng Yi finally gave up his plan to induce mental power. Adhering to the principle of making the most of what he had, Feng Yi had no choice but to train these three people.

From then on, Feng Yi spent most of his time focusing on the training of the soldiers. Only when they ate well could they train well. Extra meals were essential for the mess team. Even the batch of military textbooks that the Greedy Wolf had allocated from the Capital Military Department was sold by Feng Yi for their meals, which angered Kura.

But, although he felt angry, this probably wasn't a bad thing for the soldiers. As the soldiers slowly adapted, the initial harsh training seemed to no longer pose a challenge to them. Now, every evening during their free time, the officers and soldiers would take the initiative to organize special training. They would challenge the captain through various military techniques. If you didn't have strong skills, you would be kicked out.

Zhang Xiaobo was quickly defeated, and Klein and Icebird were replaced due to their poor qualities. Only Balun was left. Recently, even the sturdy Balun started to feel physically overwhelmed. After all, he was facing God's Thorn soldiers. He could cope with three or five, but when faced with a dozen or more, anyone would take a hit.

The captain was the soldier's punching bag, and likewise, the soldiers were the captain's training partners. Becoming the captain of God's Thorn has become every soldier's ideal goal. Everything is up to the fists. Broken legs and torn ligaments are all part of daily life. Stay overnight in a liquid recovery cabin, and you will be revitalized the next day. This is the life at the training base, simple, fulfilling, and violent.

The soldiers started a saying: no matter what training they undergo, they always get accustomed to it eventually. What couldn't they get used to when their resolve is solid and they are starting to get numb? That saying went something like this: as long as you're on Mars, you'll be able to taste any Martian food as long as you are a captain.

Why do you ask? The answer is simple. The world is vast, and you can eat whatever you want. Feng Yi is now restless every day. He frequently looks for the captains to eat, drink, and play. Indeed, the captain enjoys privileges that all soldiers envy. During soldiers' training, they can drink, smoke, or continue sleeping during emergency gatherings as long as they are captains and have superior qualities.
