The people who were training stopped and wiped their sweat as they watched their boss train.
With constant meaningful glances, they whispered among themselves.
"The commander is the commander alright. I've never made it up that ball even once. What kind of training is this?"
"I just saw her set the difficulty to max. The gravity right now must be 50 times that of our home planet!"
"Is the rumor that she can punch a planet into pieces true?"
"Pfft!"
...
At this time, Red Eagle had already ran for ten minutes to warm up under 50 times gravity.
Next, she started getting crazy. She suddenly increased the strength in her shoulders and back.
Instantly, her body started tilting forward. The lines of her wrist, ankle, and waist bands became taut as she seemed to be dragging something heavy while walking forward.
The sound effects teacher next to her kept fiddling with something, coordinating with Nancheng Xi's every move to produce loud sounds.
Boom! Boom boom!
The other actors played the extras again, giving looks and whispering to each other.
"Good take!" Director Pang said.
After finishing filming this scene, next up was the highlight.
Nancheng Xi got off the machine and shook her arms. Then she took off the weighted bands.
This scene was difficult for her. The machine naturally didn't have the desired effect. Everything was staged.
But to achieve the genuine feeling of the muscles exerting strength, she prepared weighted bands herself and wore a whole set of them. Walking with those things on was extremely taxing.
The makeup artist immediately went up to touch up her makeup and the props master went up to tidy things.
Just as the props master was about to pick up the weighted bands by Nancheng Xi's feet, he let out a shriek.
"Ow ow ow!"
He jumped back and blew on his hand desperately.
Too heavy. He almost got smashed.
How is this so heavy? What on earth is this thing?
Nancheng Xi bent down to pick it up and put it to the side herself.
Everyone else's expressions changed. Director Pang's eyes opened even wider.
Goodness gracious, you prepared weighted bands yourself?
The props team felt they lost face and yelled to bring actual workout equipment for her next time!
After Nancheng Xi's touch up, everyone prepared themselves for a bit as they waited for the set change.
Seeing just about ready, Director Pang signaled to start.
The clapper boy quickly clapped the slate indicating the scene number.
Still the training room. Nancheng Xi redid the scene of getting off the gravity ball.
At this time, Yin Zun walked up to block her way.
Yin Zun: "Commander, wanna spar?"
His eyes showed fighting spirit, admiration for the strong, and the desire to challenge himself.
Red Eagle looked him up and down, then held out her hand.
Adjutant Li Bai immediately went up and handed over a set of protective gear.
Red Eagle grabbed the gear and heavily smashed it to the ground with a bam!
"Put it on," Red Eagle said.
Seeing the protective gear by his feet, Yin Zun's expression twisted for a second, on the verge of losing control.
She's...humiliating him!
In the next moment, he violently bounced up. Mobilizing the strength in his arms, he threw a punch at Red Eagle.
The corner of Red Eagle's mouth tilted up into an arc. Her eyes even showed a trace of mockery.
She slightly shifted her body to effortlessly dodge Yin Zun's fist.
His punch whistled past her cheek, blowing her hair up.
She narrowed her eyes. The next second, she reached out!
Slap!
Grabbing his arm, she yanked hard and threw him to the ground.
Yin Zun's forward charge seemed to freeze mid motion. He stopped abruptly before being tossed high into the air.
Everyone just saw a blur. The next second, Yin Zun was flung far away as if he was a sack of rice.
Bam!
Landing on his back, he crashed heavily onto the floor.
Pain contorted his face. He almost couldn't get back up.
It really hurt. And it was a real throw!
If he hadn't trained at the military district before, Lan Tianyou would've suspected himself to end up injured from that throw.
He felt wronged inside. Weren't they supposed to go easy?
Nancheng Xi as Red Eagle strode past after slamming him down without even sparing a glance at Yin Zun.
The earlier scuffle didn't affect her one bit. It was as if he were merely a small pebble on her path forward.
"Cut! Amazing!" Director Pang exclaimed.
Everyone hurriedly went up to help pull Lan Tianyou to his feet.
Holding his chest, Lan Tianyou coughed violently.
Oh my god, the throw made his chest hurt!
Director Pang said: "Lan Tianyou, get checked to see if you have any issues. Everyone else, next scene! Quick, this filming pace is too good!"
Every scene was done in one take. Like the speed of gods.
The next scene featured Nancheng Xi and Gu Beihuai.
The set location needed to change but the costumes remained the same.
Since it had been prepared beforehand, the two didn't need to wait and filming commenced directly.
"Ready, action!" Director Pang called.
The clapper boy diligently clapped the slate again, going through the motions smoothly.
The camera panned out to show the full view.
Red Eagle walked out of the training room, through a corridor inside mothership Titan, on her way back to her room. En route, she ran into Chief of Staff Wu Xing.
Wu Xing wore a combat uniform. He yawned drowsily, eyes blurry with sleep.
Red Eagle frowned. She wanted to brush past him expressionlessly.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xing's eyes lit up upon seeing her. He looked her up and down before shamelessly causing trouble.
Wu Xing: "Whoa! Skintight outfit!"
Red Eagle halted abruptly. She whipped her head around and fixed him with a murderous glare.
Wu Xing: "What? Can't I compliment a nice figure?"
Red Eagle was truly fed up. Her fist smashed out swiftly toward Wu Xing.
The camera clearly captured Red Eagle's expression and the speed and strength changes of the muscles in that punch.
Wu Xing yelped dramatically. He yelled while dodging.
"Ah! Ah ah, I'm getting away!"
He did manage to get away every time, despite his dodging motions looking erratic and dangerous.
Ultimately, Red Eagle's fist slammed into the wall.
Bam!
The metal wall instantly caved in, leaving a fist-shaped indent.
Seeing the mark, Wu Xing's expression changed slightly. "Are you trying to kill me?"
Red Eagle: "Keep running that trash mouth. I don't mind killing you on the spot!"
Leaving those words behind, she strode off, expression frosty.
Wu Xing stomped angrily on the same spot. "So vicious!"
"Cut! Well done!" Director Pang said.
The staff swarmed them. Xiao Dong brought fruit over to Nancheng Xi.
Nancheng Xi sat on a small stool, eating the fruit while Xiao Dong massaged her shoulders.
Director Pang ran to touch that wall dent. It was really dented inwards!
Hopping mad, he immediately went over to grab Nancheng Xi by her nape!
"Nancheng Xi! You really punched it? Did I tell you to actually hit it? Do you know how expensive the props are?"
Gu Beihuai stepped forward and pulled Nancheng Xi back, shielding her in front of him.
Gu Beihuai: "We'll just replace it, are funds that tight?"
Director Pang: "..."
What is this? Not letting me scold your precious darling or something?
The other actors spoke up around them.
Lan Tianyou: "Director Pang! You care about the wall but not me?"
He was also slammed to the floor earlier yet Director Pang didn't seem worried. But a wall dent sent him into a panic?
Lan Tianyou felt wronged. Was he not worth caring about?
