Yan Qianqian

Then, he continued, "On the day of registration, everyone received a small round token. Do not lose this token! Only by holding it can you enter the camp.

After entering the camp, a month-long training will begin. If anyone cannot persist, do not blame me for being impolite and asking you to leave, and when you leave, hand over the token.

If after a month you can persist, then congratulations, you will formally become members of the Qi Family Army."

His words were concise and clear, without the slightest hesitation.

Then, he cast his gaze toward the man in silver armor standing behind him, and continued, "This person you have likely never seen, but his name, I believe, is known to all like thunder piercing the ears. He is the Zhenxi General!"

As soon as his words fell, the scene instantly exploded into an uproar, and people began whispering and discussing heatedly.

"Ah, the Zhenxi General! I actually get to see him with my own eyes in this lifetime!"

"The Zhenxi General truly lives up to his reputation; he is extraordinarily handsome!"

"My younger sister likes the Zhenxi General the most. If I can become a subordinate of the Qi Family Army and see him every day, I'll have bragging rights when I go back, hahaha!"

Various exclamations and praises rose and fell, incessant. And Qianqian stood in the crowd, quietly listening to the surrounding sounds, and her heart gradually understood the gist of the matter.

Originally, Qianqian had previously sent Shi Er to inquire for news, but Shi Er did not tell her who the general leading the Qi Family Army actually was.

Because in their view, no matter who this general was, it would not have too great an impact on them.

Hearing the surrounding people's discussions, Qianqian gained some preliminary understanding of this Zhenxi General, but the specific situation was still not very clear.

She secretly pondered, waiting for evening to have Shi Er investigate this general's detailed information.

Just then, Xiao Jiao Jin suddenly shouted loudly, "Silence!" His voice was like a great bell, exceptionally resounding amidst the noisy crowd.

The crowd was startled by his shout and instantly quieted down.

Xiao Jiao Jin then said, "Now everyone listen to my command: first, jog five kilometers, follow my horse!" His tone was stern and brooked no dissent.

Hearing this demand, a wave of wails immediately rose from the crowd: "Ah, five kilometers right from the start!"

"No way, I can't run that far!" Various complaints and bitter cries rose and fell.

However, Xiao Jiao Jin seemed to turn a deaf ear to these complaints; he merely casually picked his ear, then said again, "Silence! Those who can't run hand over your tokens and go back where you came from."

Finished speaking, he rode his horse and turned to leave, leaving a group of people staring at each other in dismay.

Some had already begun running reluctantly, while others stood in place hesitating.

Seeing this, Qianqian also ran with the crowd without hesitation; she cleverly blended into the crowd, minimizing her presence as much as possible to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

Simultaneously, those standing in place who did not move were quickly approached by soldiers who collected their tokens. Though these people were somewhat unwilling, they did not resist; they obediently handed over their tokens and turned to leave.

And that Zhenxi General rode his horse unhurriedly at the rear of the formation; his gaze swept over the entire formation, seemingly observing every person's performance.

Watching some people gradually fall behind the main group, their steps growing slower and slower, even finally stopping to rest in place, the Zhenxi General unhesitatingly ordered his subordinates to collect their tokens and informed them they had been eliminated.

Just like that, a mere five kilometers eliminated nearly half the people.

However, these five kilometers were simply effortless for Qianqian. But due to rule restrictions, she could not use lightness skill, and could only run step by step, which also consumed no small amount of her time.

Not long after, the camp's main gate appeared before Qianqian's eyes. Just then, Xiao Jiao Jin shouted loudly, "Once you enter the camp, everyone can rest!"

As soon as his words fell, people in the crowd immediately began accelerating into a sprint; everyone was eager to rest as soon as possible, and Qianqian was no exception. She quickly sped up and dashed toward the camp.

Some had already arrived at the camp first; they sat on the ground like puddles of mud, panting heavily. Those who arrived later followed suit, collapsing on the ground equally exhausted.

When Qianqian reached the camp, she also sat down like the others, panting heavily, regulating her breathing.

Immediately after, more and more people entered the camp in succession, until the last person successfully arrived; only then did the Zhenxi General ride his horse, unhurriedly, slowly entering.

The Zhenxi General said to Xiao Jiao Jin with a solemn face, "The remaining training is handed to you; you must demand strictness from them, not allowing the slightest slackness."

Xiao Jiao Jin hurriedly nodded and bowed, replying with a fawning smile, "Good, General rest assured! I will certainly do my utmost, absolutely not disappointing your expectations."

After the Zhenxi General turned and left, Xiao Jiao Jin straightened up; the smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a majestic expression.

He scanned the resting soldiers and shouted, "Alright, everyone listen! Today is the first day of training; there are still other training items waiting for you. If anyone feels they cannot persist, you may give up at any time; I absolutely will not force you."

As soon as his words fell, a slight commotion rose from the crowd. Someone complained in a low voice, "Only a quarter-hour, I haven't even caught my breath yet..."

Qianqian also cried bitterly in her heart, but she still worked hard to regulate her breathing, inhaling deeply, exhaling deeply.

Not long after, Qianqian's breathing gradually steadied. She turned to look at the boy beside her who was slightly older; she saw he was panting heavily, face pale, looking very uncomfortable.

Qianqian felt pity and said softly, "Don't breathe like that; it will only make you more tired. Try slowly inhaling a big breath, then slowly exhaling; that will be better."

The boy heard Qianqian's words as if granted a treasure, and hurriedly breathed according to her method. Sure enough, before long, his breathing also gradually returned to normal.
