Chapter 249: Let's just call it Fire Phoenix

Tang Xiao Xiao initially felt a bit resentful, but after locking eyes with Liu Xiaotian for two seconds, she unconsciously looked away.

To be honest, she already felt a bit afraid of this young soldier who looked a few years younger than her—no, this young instructor.

Who wouldn't be afraid? After all, as a woman, her physical strength is inherently lacking compared to a man's; besides, even if she had enough strength, who would want to get beaten?

However, Tang Xiao Xiao's fear was merely instinctual, stemming from not wanting to be beaten, not from genuine conviction.

But Liu Xiaotian didn't care.

He also didn't need Tang Xiao Xiao and the other seven female soldiers to admire or worship him; they just needed to obey.

Deep down, he didn't want to be this instructor either; he was forced into it.

If He Zhijun and Fan Tianlei had forcibly stopped him from training these female soldiers this way, he could have used that as an excuse to avoid being the instructor.

I'm not a "young master," so what obligation do I have to entertain them?

At one, one look `no, one wrong version%！'

To be honest, He Zhijun initially didn't hold much hope for letting Liu Xiaotian come up with a name.

Mud pit, ah—for these young female soldiers, how much courage would it take to jump down and practice crawling forward?

He Zhijun said in a low voice, then turned to leave.

Especially the initial training process.

Liu Xiaotian gave the order in a low voice.

Actually, Liu Xiaotian had already planned the next "program" beforehand.

In my opinion, what they need most right now is an instructor like Liu Xiaotian to lead them.

The two of them packed up and left, but Liu Xiaotian's side had only just begun.

Given her flexibility, standing at attention wasn't difficult for her; it was just that staying motionless for a long time was somewhat uncomfortable.

But this time it wasn't as easy as when he previously ordered them to stand at attention.

Tang Xiao Xiao was from the cultural troupe; physical training was much harder and more arduous than drill practice.

So, after preventing the eight female soldiers from disbanding on their own, he immediately led the unit to the edge of the mud pit at the center of the training ground.

Think about it carefully—this is also normal.

After all, you asked me to be the instructor, not a kindergarten caretaker, and certainly not to cheer up these girls.

"Old He, is this okay? Is this kid's training method a bit too extreme? What if it causes backlash?"

It seems this part of the "plot" hasn't changed.

The fifteen minutes of standing at attention eventually increased to half an hour.

Moreover, there was that big sun overhead! After finally enduring until Liu Xiaotian announced the end of the standing-at-attention training, the eight were just about to rest when he stopped them.

Standing at the edge of the mud pit, Liu Xiaotian said sternly: "Each person must complete ten back-and-forth low crawls in the mud pit, with movements absolutely standard!"

After walking back and forth in front of the formation twice, Liu Xiaotian then walked up to He Zhijun and stood at attention.

What Liu Xiaotian didn't expect was that the best at standing at attention among the eight female soldiers would be Tang Xiao Xiao, who had just taken a punch from him not long ago.

Hardly any of them came from combat units, and Tan Xiaolin was no exception.

In the vehicle, Fan Tianlei showed a worried expression.

He Zhijun glared at Liu Xiaotian angrily without speaking. Now he temporarily took the place of Lei Zhan and the Thunder Strike Team, but he couldn't let these female soldiers lack a "complete experience," could he?

If it were something else, Liu Xiaotian might need to think it over, but when it comes to this female special forces team, he just has to speak up!

Because, according to He Zhijun's description, this should be the Thunder Strike Team's training ground.

It wasn't intentionally chosen as a target; it's just that Tan Xiaolin happened to be nearest to him.

Next, amid a chorus of exclamations, Liu Xiaotian pushed or kicked—either way, he sent all eight female soldiers tumbling into the mud pit.

"Now, jump in, lie prone, and crawl forward!"

Aside from the recruit company, they had hardly ever stood at attention like this.

……

After seeing that no one carried out the order even five seconds later, Liu Xiaotian didn't waste words, suddenly stepped forward, lifted his leg, and delivered a straight kick straight into Tan Xiaolin's buttocks.

Don't forget, these female soldiers may come from different units and posts, but first and foremost they are soldiers; although they haven't undergone overly strict military training, they still possess basic military awareness.

Having just taken a step and then stopped, he turned to look at Liu Xiaotian and said: "Since you're now the instructor of this female special forces team, pick a name and let me hear it; if it's good, I'll report it directly."

What should I say? What the hell else can I say? You kid have already finished what needed to be done, and now you're asking me what to say? "It's fine, keep training; these eight are yours for now, and I'll send you an assistant instructor later."

Fan Tianlei still wanted to say something, but He Zhijun cut him off.

After speaking, He Zhijun tugged at the sleeve of Fan Tianlei, who still wanted to speak, then got into the jeep and left.

He Zhijun waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry, there's definitely nothing wrong."

"Brigade Commander, what do you want to say?"

Moreover, before this, they hadn't even heard of such a training method.

Why? Someone always can't help but move! Actually, it's not really the fault of these female soldiers.

And the scene in the "plot" where Tan Xiaolin is thrown into the mud pit happens right here.

Before this, Liu Xiaotian had already secretly inspected this training ground and discovered the mud pit.

As for the Fire Phoenix, although I'm not very familiar with it, I know a bit.

Thus, Tan Xiaolin fully continued the "plot's" "fate," being the first to fling herself into the mud pit.

But upon hearing the three words "Fire Phoenix," He Zhijun first froze, then nodded and said: "Sounds good; I'll report it when I get back—I estimate this female special forces team's final designation will be Fire Phoenix."

"I think we should just call it Fire Phoenix—what do you think?"

Tang Xiao Xiao lay on the ground for a while longer, her gaze several times drifting toward He Zhijun and Fan Tianlei, but disappointing her, they never met her eyes, always looking away at the first moment.

"Don't worry, I'll send Qin Yuxi over later—that girl is clever; I'm sure she can coordinate things here."

Helpless, Tang Xiao Xiao could only stand up honestly, walk to the rear of the line, stand at attention, and begin the standing-at-attention drill together with the other eight.

And the standard is, there must not be a patch of skin showing its true color on the face; it must be smeared with mud! I can tell you now, those who fail to meet the standard and want to come up, don't blame me for directly kicking you unconscious, letting you sleep soundly in the mud pit!

Faced with Liu Xiaotian's posture, the eight female soldiers once again wisely chose silence.

It's not that they don't want to resist, but they lack the strength! All eight of them attacking together? Leaving aside whether they could succeed, the premise is they wouldn't dare do that.

No matter what, they are first and foremost soldiers, and Liu Xiaotian is now their instructor.

To collectively attack the instructor? That's no joke! (End of chapter)
