Chapter 260: Devil Instructor (3)

To be honest, the training plan that Liu Xiaotian devised for the female soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Women's Special Forces Team is indeed somewhat crazy, even bordering on 'cruel'.

They wake up at 5:30 a. m., begin morning exercises at 5:45, with the load increased to twenty kilograms; for the first half month it's five kilometers, after that half month they gradually increase to ten kilometers; after the long run they also add strength training such as the single and double bars, ending at 6:50; breakfast at 7:20, at eight o'clock they start the morning training, which consists of strength confrontation and combat training on uneven terrain, lasting three hours without rest.

At 11:00 they rest for ten minutes, then they pair up and each group does twenty minutes of strike‑resistance training, ending at 11:50.

The so‑called strike‑resistance training actually means protecting oneself as much as possible without being able to fight back, and the attacking side does not wear boxing gloves, so it's a real fist smashing into you.

For a special forces soldier, strike‑resistance training absolutely comes first.

Because in the course of a mission, no one can guarantee they won't be struck by the opponent, even if your combat skill has reached a certain level, it's the same.

Even boxing and other combat sports are the same; without strike‑resistance ability, no matter how skilled a fighter is, it's hard to guarantee a chance of winning.

But Liu Xiaotian acts as if he never took these into consideration at all; even if someone raises an objection, his reply is only four words:

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

During the four‑hour afternoon training, they must conduct three hours of stable sniper training.

By this point, Liu Xiaotian finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Therefore, strike‑resistance ability is a capability that must be possessed.

Listen, is this something a person would say? Can this training be any harsher? In just a short week, seven days, we've endured longer than seven months.

This is even more true for special forces during a mission, and it's even more dangerous.

Because what they face is not an opponent who stops after defeating you, but ruthless villains who want your life.

Obey orders!

But in the eyes of these female soldiers, Liu Xiaotian's training plan is nothing but a deliberate attempt to 'mess with people'.

Just as the saying goes, 'He who walks by the river will inevitably get his shoes wet,' as long as you stand in the ring facing an opponent, no one can guarantee they won't get beaten.

They are so exhausted they can't take it anymore, with huge dark circles plainly visible; not to mention cosmetics, even a plastic surgeon here would be powerless.

All that nonsense about women needing beauty sleep, what skin needs maintenance.

After all, shooting also requires solid basic training.

Especially if someone's body cannot withstand it.

Lights out at 9:30 p. m., with irregular emergency assemblies during the period; if there is an emergency assembly, their sleep cannot be guaranteed eight hours.

This is also what makes the Eight Girls most angry.

The lessons of the past are right there; if you really provoke them, you'll inevitably get a beating—who would go looking for trouble for no reason?

This Instructor Liu must be talking nonsense! Put bluntly, he's just trying to scare people! The training of the past week, aside from bringing a three‑part tormenting approach, was merely two to three times the normal training volume, with the location and method hard to accept. Facing the Eight Girls' doubtful gazes, Liu Xiaotian remained expressionless, his gaze slowly sweeping over their faces one by one, and he said lightly: 'I must admit, you eight have at least reached the standard of a qualified soldier in will; note, a soldier, not a special forces soldier.'

By this point, the morning training ends; lunch at 12:20, and firearms handling training starts at 1:00 p. m.

Although Liu Xiaotian only forbade them from wearing makeup and did not confiscate their cosmetics, after three days no one bothered to apply face masks or skin‑care products at night.

Congratulations, you've all passed.

After all, who would choose to endure a beating without fighting back when they could just take it? That's sick. Nevertheless, whether they argue in theory or protest, Liu Xiaotian simply ignores them, continuing to train exactly as he pleases, doing whatever he wants.

Dinner is at 5:30 p. m.; half an hour after dinner, that is, starting at 6:00 p. m., they gather in the simulation training room to begin drills on various vehicles and electronic equipment, lasting until 9:00 p. m.

Liu Xiaotian's training plan adopts a makeshift method: adding weight to the gun muzzle, and everyone must start from the prone position.

After one week, when the eight female soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Women's Special Forces Team line up again, it's obvious to anyone that compared with when they first arrived, they have undergone a qualitative change.

As long as they don't suffer a mental breakdown, the upcoming training will make them qualified special forces soldiers! On the morning of the eighth day, after Liu Xiaotian finished the ten‑kilometer weighted run, he did not immediately start equipment training but instead ordered them to fall in.

Aside from questioning him in theory and words, they carried out every order Liu Xiaotian gave in a strict, honest manner; no one dared to protest with actual action.

This is the first step of the first stage of training; if anyone among them cannot mentally endure it, then this instructor has no recourse but to go to He Zhijun to request a replacement.

Eight Girls: ……

The training of the previous week was merely basic training, aimed at letting you adapt quickly to the special forces training model.

Having basically grown accustomed to this 'devilish training model,' the eight female soldiers were still somewhat unadjusted to the sudden change of the 'Devil Instructor'; after exchanging glances, none could guess what trick 'Liu Devil' would pull next.

From the first day onward, the eight female soldiers' elbows were rubbed raw, until calluses formed; the scabs at the wounds never completely healed cleanly.

In that case, the Eight Girls are just 'unlucky'.

According to Liu Xiaotian's original training plan, the Fire Phoenix female soldiers were only to begin live‑fire shooting after one month.

Now you stand here and say to us: 'Qualified?' In their hearts they almost simultaneously had the same thought:

Fortunately, the eight girls selected for the Fire Phoenix have passed the first‑stage test, both mentally and physically.

But because time is pressing, he could only compress the basic‑operation training into one week.

And the rest—isn't that just how it is? Liu Xiaotian seemed to sense what they were thinking; a faint flicker of a smile crossed his eyes, then vanished.

Although the expression on Qin Yuxi's face, standing beside Liu Xiaotian, showed no change, she secretly broke a sweat for the eight female soldiers of the Fire Phoenix.

She didn't know the details of Liu Xiaotian's work as an instructor at Warrior School, but she did know his ability.

Since he said it's only just begun, it certainly isn't empty talk or intimidation……
