76 -9: There’s Always Someone Better, There’s Always a Higher Sky
The training by the sea was extremely brutal.
They had morning runs on the beach at 5:30 am, did sit-ups at noon holding a 100-pound wet oak log in groups of five, practiced holding their breath in the water and swimming at night until the deep hours, not returning to the temporary dormitory until they were all completely exhausted.
Gu Xiaoxi wiped the sweat off her forehead; her clothes had long been soaked through.
This kind of training was grueling, but every time she thought about how she still couldn’t beat Quan Shaoqing, she felt incredibly vexed.
When everyone else had gone to rest, she wanted to train some more, but of course, this training was no longer those exercises but practicing her Martial Arts.
Gu Xiaoxi had informed Ye Qiran in advance that she was going to go out for some extra training.
She told her not to look for her, nor to worry.
Gu Xiaoxi found a sacred spot.
Behind the sandy beach where they trained, there was a dense forest, and within the forest a hundred-meter-high waterfall, with pleasant scenery below that was suitable for her to practice martial arts.
This time, she first cultivated her Inner Strength for an hour, then stood up and began learning fist techniques.
It was the “Tyrant Fist” she had seen in the library back in the military.
The technique demanded high velocity and strength.
And in this aspect, she could completely meet the standards, so with some practice, she should be able to master it.
As she practiced, three to four hours passed, and it was already 1 am.
Song Jingyi saw that Gu Xiaoxi had not returned and was somewhat worried.
But since Gu Xiaoxi had told them not to disturb her before she left, they held back their concern.
Although the place was close to the seaside, the forest was very dangerous at night.
She reported this to Ye Qiran, who then reported it to Shao Changfeng.
As the highest commander there, Shao Changfeng had to be responsible for everyone’s safety.
But it wasn’t good for them to go looking for her in the forest since Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t come back.
So, they simply sat outside the training ground and waited.
He had just sat down when he saw a group of men approaching him.
Shao Changfeng frowned; from afar, he could actually see Zhong Ming.
He immediately stood up and ran forward, punching Zhong Ming in the chest, “Hey!
What are you doing here?”
Zhong Ming had been talking with Yi Chentian when he was suddenly hit by the punch, and as soon as he looked up to see who it was, he found that it was Flame’s comrade Shao Changfeng, and he couldn’t help being surprised, “You’re here too!”
“I brought the recruits from our platoon here for training.
I’m curious, what brings you here?” Shao Changfeng looked behind them at a group of fully-equipped people who seemed to be armed with real guns.
And coming here in the middle of the night…
Zhong Ming glanced back at the men, then said to Yi Chentian, “Boss, you guys go ahead and get on the boat!
I’ll talk to him for a minute!”
“Everyone, speed it up!” Yi Chentian’s face was cold, and with his dark eyes looking at the men, he waved, “Board the boat in three minutes!”
Zhong Ming waited for everyone to leave before slapping Shao Changfeng on the shoulder, “Got a mission!
As for what it is, I won’t tell you.
When I return in triumph, let’s have a good drink.”
“Alright!
Then you’d better go, I won’t hold you up,” Shao Changfeng said, enviously.
Being tasked with a mission was every soldier’s dream.
Even if the risks were great, they were willing to take them, to protect their country and shed their blood.
Zhong Ming patted Shao Changfeng’s chest, looking at his rank insignia, and chuckled, “Not bad, Lieutenant!
Keep it up!”
Shao Changfeng watched as Zhong Ming and the other nine members boarded a military yacht and sighed, hoping they could emerge victorious in next year’s Special Forces selection.
That was the true vanguard of battle.
On the fishing boat, Zhong Ming looked at Yi Chentian, “Boss, I heard Gu Xiaoxi is in the Fourth Platoon.
When we return in triumph, how about we have a barbecue on the beach?
And maybe you can introduce us to the future sister-in-law.”
Yi Chentian’s face was stern, and he slapped him on the forehead, “What nonsense are you talking about?
What sister-in-law, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Why can’t we talk about it?
Didn’t you succeed in your pursuit last time?” Zhong Ming said with a grin.
Suddenly, Yi Chentian stood up and ordered everyone, “Check your equipment, make haste to the incident island!”
The subordinates exchanged looks, all feeling puzzled, but it wasn’t the time to ask questions.
Facing a battlefield, they had to ensure they were in top condition.
Although their mission was only to go out to sea and help the Special Forces clean up the battlefield.
When Gu Xiaoxi returned, she saw Yi Chentian sitting on the stairs in front of the training ground, seemingly lost in thought.
“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Gu Xiaoxi wiped the sweat off her forehead as she walked up to Shao Changfeng.
“Weren’t I waiting for you?
It’s so dangerous at night, and you, all alone, not returning till after midnight, if something had happened, I would be held accountable!” Shao Changfeng scrutinized Gu Xiaoxi and felt that this fellow was truly a fanatic; even the strongest male soldiers were half dead from training during the day.
Yet, she went on to train for an additional three hours, still full of energy.
“I know my own limits.
You’re worrying needlessly!
It’s so late, I’m going to sleep,” Gu Xiaoxi said.
She had already eaten some crabs on the way back, and now she felt a bit hungry, but there was no time to look for food, the dawn was almost approaching.
“Wait a second!” Just as Gu Xiaoxi turned to leave, Shao Changfeng reached into his pocket and pulled out two eggs, thrusting them into Gu Xiaoxi’s hands, “Go to sleep!
Next time you’re training extra, take me with you.
It would be good to have some company!”
“Why do you need to train extra when you’re not a recruit?” Gu Xiaoxi asked, holding the eggs, surprised and at the same time grateful for his thoughtfulness.
Such a platoon leader seemed really nice.
Shao Changfeng smiled and said, “There’s always someone better out there.
I’m just a small platoon leader.
In the Special Forces, someone like me can only just barely step through the threshold.”
