Chapter 263: First Rock Climbing

Looking at the eight female soldiers with varied expressions, all shocked, Liu Xiaotian remained remarkably calm, showing no trace of pride from having just completed the rock-climbing demonstration.

It wasn't that he was feigning calm; that was simply the fact.

To him, what had just happened was merely a simple demonstration, with no intention whatsoever of showing off.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just a simple climb up and down.

At some point, Qin Yuxi also arrived here.

Faced with Liu Xiaotian's traceless 'deterrence,' a hint of undisguised pride appeared on her face.

The reason is simple: because she is a woman.

Seeing Tan Xiaolin about to speak, Qin Yuxi didn't give her a chance to open her mouth, and immediately said:

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

However, Liu Xiaotian had no intention of giving her much time to think about it; instead, after the four successively put on their protective gear and clipped their safety buckles onto the safety rope, he immediately issued the command to begin.

But who could guarantee such a thing? What era is this now? Not to mention age, even gender is gradually ceasing to be a barrier! In fact, on this point she had overthought it; Tan Xiaolin at least currently had no other thoughts whatsoever, simply being unable to believe it.

In terms of military quality or combat ability, she is likely the worst among the eight women.

Qin Yuxi's smile grew a few degrees more mysterious, her expression turning somewhat strange, as if recalling something: 'Yeah, don't even mention you; even I myself once had the same doubt.'

It is now 8:45 a. m.; if anyone fails to complete fifteen repetitions before lunch, then sorry, they don't need to eat lunch, and will use lunchtime to continue training.

But what about her? She had just graduated from university and been specially recruited into the troops, having participated only in a three-month basic training.

Because she knows that when a woman begins to feel curious about a man, it is often when some affection starts to grow.

"Training Instructor Tan, I advise you not to dwell on his merits, or else……"

In fact, Liu Xiaotian had indeed subdued the eight female soldiers of the Fire Phoenix.

Qin Yuxi certainly did not want to add obstacles to her own emotional path.

This reason, even Ye Cunxin herself felt it was somewhat deserving of a beating.

Tan Xiaolin is the training instructor of the Fire Phoenix; it's only natural for her to conduct the training first.

Even Tang Xiao Xiao, who also trains daily, has far better physical fitness than her.

Because Qin Yuxi's attention was still on Liu Xiaotian, upon hearing Tan Xiaolin's words she couldn't help but startle, then laughed and retorted: 'How old do you think he looks?'

Hearing that, Tan Xiaolin was startled again.

Pausing, he then turned his gaze to everyone and loudly announced: 'Today is the first time we conduct this subject's training; I also don't require you to climb up and then down—just reaching the summit smoothly is enough; however, pay attention to the time.'

"Qin Instructor, Liu Instructor, how old are you actually this year?"

But because that person is Liu Xiaotian, who is very likely to become her future husband, she cannot help but feel proud.

But the closer she got to the cliff, the more clearly Ye Cunxin heard her own heartbeat, her nerves growing ever more tense, much like the feeling when she first approached the college entrance exam hall.

Saying he was targeting her?

Seeing Qin Yuxi approach, Tan Xiaolin went up to her and asked in a low voice:

Qin Yuxi saw through her thoughts, smiled, and waved her hand:

Nowadays, in the military, wanting to be promoted without taking the military academy exam is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Having said that, Liu Xiaotian didn't give the eight female soldiers a chance to speak, turned and headed straight for the cliff.

The subtext was roughly: 'Look, the man I picked is awesome! Anyway, with the safety rope, I don't need to worry about you guys having an accident.'

From the moment she first saw Liu Xiaotian until now, this was also only the first time she had seen him display his skills.

Although there is a safety rope, it cannot guarantee absolute safety!

At the instant she heard her name, Ye Cunxin's reaction was the strongest; she almost went forward to confront Liu Xiaotian, asking if he was targeting her.

"He looks about twenty or so, but…… I always feel he just looks young."

Remember, the training for this subject lasts at most one week; if you still can't effortlessly climb upward after three days, don't blame me for cutting your sleep to train you!

As for any technical points, there are none.

She immediately asked: 'Training Instructor, are you afraid of heights?'

"But the fact is exactly as you see: he really is only about twenty, his rank is genuine; however, he may soon surpass me."

Just as Tan Xiaolin was about to ask Qin Yuxi some other questions, Liu Xiaotian's voice suddenly came: 'Tan Xiaolin! Begin training!' Qin Yuxi clearly saw that, at the moment she heard those words, Tan Xiaolin's body jerked stiff.

Although it indeed deterred her and the other seven, …… it still seems hard to believe.

Although…… Tan Xiaolin's age confers no advantage.

Qin Yuxi didn't say anything more, merely giving Qin Yuxi a 'you'll understand' look.

Shen Lan Ni and He Lu both possess certain military quality, and being the strongest among the eight women, they naturally take the lead when the new training subject begins.

At the same time, four safety ropes had been lowered from the cliff's top, hanging there swaying lightly in the wind.

Besides Tan Xiaolin, those called out by Liu Xiaotian were Ye Cunxin, He Lu, and Shen Lan Ni.

Also, the rank on his shoulder is genuine?

If she herself had just completed that demonstration, she would be just like Liu Xiaotian, with not a trace of pride.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Liu Xiaotian's tone shifted: 'Ye Cunxin! What are you dawdling for? Immediately put on your protective gear and prepare to begin the first climb!'

Even then, it was more nervous than before.

Such a high cliff, what if……

Does Liu Xiaotian really have such ability?

Watching Liu Xiaotian's back, the eight women glanced at each other; the four who had been called out stepped out of formation and strode after him.

Tan Xiaolin gave Liu Xiaotian a doubtful glance, slightly furrowed her brows, and said:

Basically it means: just climb, that's it! Watching the four start to climb upward, Liu Xiaotian actually felt a bit nervous inside as well.

But Liu Xiaotian had already called her name; if she didn't go, she would inevitably have to provide a reasonable excuse.

Tan Xiaolin's face clearly looked somewhat unpleasant, yet she firmly shook her head: 'No, it's just because this is my first attempt at this training item; I'm a little nervous.'

Women, territorial awareness seems to become stronger as it continuously evolves; Qin Yuxi is now the best example.

To be honest, danger definitely exists.

But, is there anyone in any environment who is absolutely safe?

This is training, and it's special forces training.

Time is tight, the mission is heavy, he can only do this……
