All the Class A aptitude geniuses had been sent out on tasks by Nie Ting. There was no one in the military camp who could stand up to Lu Xiaoyu.
She did not deal with it too harshly. Lu Shu had talked to her about this earlier. Even if she got into a fight with the Daoyuan Class students, she could not injure or kill them. She had to set proper limits on her strength.
Thus, when those girls regained consciousness, they did not suffer any major injuries. After they returned to the dorm from the infirmary, Lu Xiaoyu sat on the edge of her bed and texted Lu Shu while coldly laughing. The girls hid and whispered to one another in a corner. Lu Xiaoyu did not bother to know what they were discussing about.
“Still haven’t convinced the public,” Lu Xiaoyu softly sighed as she glanced at them.
She had thought that convincing the public would be very easy, but it seemed like she had thought too lightly of it. But this wouldn’t do. She wanted to become a Heavenly King!
In reality, some girls were very narrow-minded. The girls that Lu Xiaoyu had beaten up were from the same Daoyuan Class.
People joined forces more easily when they were on away ground. The girls discussed that they would wait until Lu Xiaoyu fell asleep, then subdue her. Lu Xiaoyu holding back her strength had made these girls misunderstand, they were taken down one by one just now because they were careless. This time, they would wait until nightfall before they launched their sneak attack. They would definitely be able to take revenge!
Normally, people would be troubled when they encountered these kinds of girls. You could not stay awake for the whole night, can you? But these girls have come well prepared to retaliate. What would you do?
Normally, people would be slightly worried. But Lu Xiaoyu was more impressive. Once the lights were out at night, Lu Xiaoyu sat up straight on her bed.
The entire dorm fell silent…
Before the girls could make their move, Lu Xiaoyu once again beat them up. The painful wails in the dorm sounded as if they were in hell…
The girls were speechless. What was this? Before they could even do anything, Lu Xiaoyu had already made the first move.
Can’t you follow the plan?!
As Lu Xiaoyu attempted to convince them, all the girls in the dorm realized one thing, this young girl that they had underestimated was much stronger than they had imagined!
Lu Xiaoyu was also very vexed. Why was it so difficult to convince them?!
In less than two days, Lu Shu realized that the distress points Lu Xiaoyu had helped him to earn were slowly increasing. He suspected that she had over a hundred Abyss Fruits. He felt that something was not right and hurriedly sent a message to Lu Xiaoyu, asking her what she was doing. Lu Xiaoyu replied that she was convincing the public.
Um…
He felt that there was something wrong with Lu Xiaoyu’s understanding of “convincing the public”…
“How are you doing it…?” Lu Shu asked with caution.
“With my strength!” Lu Xiaoyu replied with pride.
In reality, Lu Xiaoyu did not think that she was wrong. If she submitted to humiliation, she would be the one being convinced. Why not be the one convincing the public, right?
Someone else had initiated it. She was not the one who made the first move.
Lu Shu was rather depressed. Lu Xiaoyu’s talent with the Chinese language was somewhat twisted…
The Heavenly Network realized one problem during the training process. Many people did not have the right mentality towards the training.
Lu Xiaoyu had completed every task well. After all, she was a future Heavenly King and she should set a good example.
But many of the other girls were not as good. Even though they had become Practitioners, they were still very delicate and fragile.
At 5am, an emergency assembly alarm suddenly sounded throughout the entire camp! Everyone, no matter if they were boy or girl, was in a frenzy. When everyone had assembled at the training ground, many had not worn their clothes properly. Many of the command officers’ faces were as black as coal.
The overall commander stood at the flag raising podium and coldly gave everyone an admonishing talk. “The performance of the girls during this training has been very poor. This is not because of the lack of your abilities. It is because of your complete lack of fighting spirit.”
This was a common fault among many female Practitioners. Take for example Aimi who had engaged in back-door deals with the Phoenix Society back at the Koh Chang Island remains. She had no fighting spirit, because she did not think about depending on her own abilities to fight.
“Do you think that if a large-scale war breaks out between Practitioners, your male comrades should risk their lives for you? While you sing and dance in your culture groups to express your sympathy, or simply join the medical team?” The commanding officer laughed coldly. “That is in the past. All of you will step on the battlefield. Don’t leave it to luck. There is no difference between male and female on the battlefield. From what I know, there is a genius girl in the Luo City Daoyuan Class who is much stronger than all of you. The Heavenly Network has just reported her military achievements. Her name is Cao Qingci.”
“There are always girls complaining during the training. As Practitioners, if you cannot even endure standing at attention for an hour, only death awaits you on the battlefield in the future. Do you think that the enemy will take pity on you because you are a girl? Ha ha, from my knowledge, not only will they not take pity on you, they will use more cruel methods to defeat you.”
“Is it very strenuous to run ten kilometers with a heavy load on your back? The normal military troops run five kilometers with a heavy load. You all are a few times stronger than them, maybe even more than ten times stronger than them,” the commanding officer lectured. “So I see that you have not changed your mentality. From now onwards, you will receive cruel training.”
Some girls softly whispered, “Is there a need for this? I thought this was just normal military training.”
“Military training?” The commanding officer laughed coldly. “Do you think that we brought you here for some painless training? To let you rest after every half an hour? To let you chit chat and use your phone while resting? Wake up. The aim of this training is to wake you up from your sweet dreams.”
Everyone had thought that this would be a simple lecture. They did not think that the commanding officer would actually carry out what he had said. The commanding officer said, “Everyone will line up and engage in actual combat. Those who lose will run for 12 hours with a heavy load and have no food to eat for a day. Those who cheat will be sent to the military court. I believe that I do not have to explain the consequences. Don’t trust your luck.”
Actual combat?
What was happening? Why the sudden actual combat? They had not gone through combat training, but they were starting actual combat?
Everyone looked at one another in blank dismay. Not only were the girls shocked, even the boys were in shock as well.
If Lu Shu was here, he would make the following judgment. Perhaps Nie Ting had sense that the form of the Practitioners’ world was unpredictable. Or, different remote races like the Puppet Master had revived, giving the human race great pressure. Thus, Nie Ting would make such a harsh decision. They had completely given up on making steady progress incrementally during the training process. A decisive action in a complex situation would allow all the Daoyuan Class students to climb out of their warm nest and prepare to face the chilly winter.
This chilly winter may come this year, or next year, or even later in the future. But Nie Ting did not want the Heavenly Network to be full of children who had not been weaned when the time came.
