“It’s not the end, there’s no need to make an early conclusion.” Li Jinnian, who had kept his head straight, didn’t deem that Ye Jian would definitely stay because of her remarkable results. Before seeing the final results, no matter how outstanding her results were right now, it could only be considered temporary.
“You’ve always been a strict one. Discussing matters of her going or leaving would be no different from finding myself a headache.” Big Shark took the lead to end the topic, and instead started talking about the boat surfing exercise.
The early morning boat surfing exercise needed to be executed for two hours, dragging the rubber boat onto shore non-stop, then pushing it back into the waves non-stop to compete against the waves, then, at their top speed, rush back onto shore.
Big Shark noticed Ye Jian, who had become the group leader of Team One. He couldn’t help but deepen the smile on his face.
On the first day of training, as a female soldier, Ye Jian had really endured through a lot. The male soldiers believed that a female soldier like her was purely here to join in on the fun. Adding onto the fact they’re all containing anger in their hearts because of the Devil King’s training, when they spoke with Ye Jian, the words they said were more or less quite blunt.
He watched everything go on but did not intervene because he wanted to see how Ye Jian would handle this.
The way she handled it was really simple, straight up talking with her fists. On that same night, Ye Jian made all the male soldiers zip their mouths, none of them dared to speak bad about her anymore.
Single handedly taking four soldiers head on?! Each of them had a combat knife pressed against their necks by her! The male soldiers took her on four to one but didn’t even win. How could they have the face to say a female soldier can’t make it?
If they really could make it, then they wouldn’t even have a combat dagger pressed up against their necks by a female soldier!
Without quarrelling, she managed to gain a foothold with her strength. Who dared say female soldiers couldn’t make it?
Ye Jian didn’t know Li Jinnian was observing her from the shadows. She put her heart and soul into the training as she, and the rest of the male soldiers, lifted their rubber boat as they headed towards the beach.
After two hours of training, everyone’s mouth tasted bitter after being washed by the salty ocean. Once getting onto shore, they lunged at their water bottles as they gulped down huge mouthfuls of water, to wash away the saltiness in their mouths.
Six days of the week-long extreme training had passed. Maybe because everyone knew the name list for the second round of eliminations could come out at any time, the expressions on each male soldier started to get more serious. They even radiated a ferocious aura when they talked.
“There’s still one more cycle of boat surfing exercise. After you’re done, go get some rest, otherwise, when the Devil King comes, we’ll have to soak ourselves in the seawater for half a day without permission to get up like Team Three.”
A male soldier spoke with lingering fear in his heart, he quickly drank several mouthfuls of water and didn’t dare to stop, he waved at his comrades to quickly finish their last cycle of surfing training.
The boat surfing exercise was one of the many items that trained multiple physical fitnesses, after that, there’s rock-carrying, obstacle course training, log-carrying, these items were indispensable daily training.
Not just those. All of the soldiers, Ye Jian included, would undergo more running, swimming and physical training than they had done in the past week.
Like today, they needed to complete a 6000 meter endurance run, obstacle course, 2000 meters swimming, and all of those were strictly timed, if they exceeded the time limit, their results would be recorded into the disqualification section, without any sensibility to be said.
Ye Jian surrounded herself with training, her daily sleeping time did not exceed 4hours, because the physical training she did everyday all exceeded 20 hours!
When the last cycle of boat-surfing exercises was over, the members of each team stood at attention with their hands behind their backs and straightened backs while they waited for Li Jinnian to inspect, or rather, waiting for his criticism.
Walking from one side to the other, Li Jinnian swept his cold, blade-like gaze across the soldiers who had entered the final round of elimination, even his voice was as cold as a blade, each word he spoke cooled the hearts of the soldiers.
