These were used to do weighted squats and frog-jumps.
These black iron items were extremely heavy. Even a palm sized piece was enough to crush a horse.
Beside these metal rollers were iron stumps and puppets. They were used to train a person’s punches and kicks.
On another side, there were plum blossom poles. These plum blossom poles were not ordinary. A typical plum blossom pole’s top surface was flat, and allowed one to stand steadily.
But the plum blossom poles used in the Tai Ah Divine City had rounded tops, and were even pointed. By standing on these, a person’s feet would hurt, let alone making fast-moving intricate moves on these plum blossom poles.
Besides all these, Yi Yun also saw something similar to the Divine Capital Jin Long Wei’s Frost Metal Blood Balls array. It was also used to train a person’s movement skills.
But the most prominent thing was the metallic wall in the middle of the school grounds.
This metallic wall was about ten meters tall and thirty meters long. It was made of some unknown metal, and it was covered in shocking imprints.
On closer inspection, one would see that those imprints were marks left behind by sabers, swords, spears, hammers, etc.
It was clearly imprints left behind by weapons!
“This wall is constructed using a mixture of a dozen metals by Tai Ah Divine City’s refining masters. The metal wall’s material is known as ‘purple tungsten’. Purple tungsten is soft, so a weapon can leave a mark on it. But in a month or two, the imprints on the metal wall will slowly disappear. This is the magic of the purple tungsten.
“This wall is used to test the strength of your moves!”
Chapter 169: Primal Arrow
In the army, attacking exercises were the most basic exercises.
A simple description is a warrior attacking straight ahead with a weapon in hand.
Spears and swords stab, while sabers and axes slash, and a hammer smashes.
For a warrior, the weight of the weapon was nothing. Training by using a weapon to simply attack had little effect.
Hence, they had to use a target to test their attack’s power.
An effective attack was to stab through armor. Only an attack that could break through an enemy’s steel armor was threatening.
In an army like the Xuanwu Army, the attack target was made of metal. The metal used was ordinary iron, but for most soldiers, that was enough.
But in the Tai Ah Divine City, things were different.
With the attack power of the Tai Ah Divine City warriors, an ordinary thick iron plate would be easily pierced with a fine weapon. It would be no different than a normal person chopping wood.
Hence, the Tai Ah Divine City’s refining masters created a purple tungsten wall that could self-heal.
It had sufficient thickness and toughness. It could test a warrior’s attack power, and it could also self-heal. This design made Yi Yun amazed.
