Su Yang shifted his gaze from the female soldier and continued walking forward.
When Su Yang arrived in front of Ye Cunxin, he stopped.
Ye Cunxin was covered in sweat, her fair arms trembling slightly. Sweat dripped from her chin onto the ground, wetting a patch of it. More sweat flowed from her neck down her chest, trickling down her cleavage.
"Because of your lies, everyone has been punished along with you. Do you regret it now?"
Su Yang squatted down and looked at Ye Cunxin, asking her a question.
Ye Cunxin said, "Report: I regret it!"
Su Yang nodded after hearing this and said, "Not bad, you know how to regret it. I'll give you one chance. You do push-ups for eight hours by yourself, and the others can stop, or..."
At this point, Su Yang glanced at his watch and continued, "Or you can work for another two hours, and then everyone stops. Which would you choose?"
Without any hesitation, Ye Cunxin replied, "Report, I choose the first option."
Upon hearing Ye Cunxin's words, Su Yang nodded and stood up, saying, "Everyone except Ye Cunxin, please stand up!"
As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, many female soldiers stood up immediately. A few hesitated for a short while before standing up as well.
Seeing everyone stand up, a hint of disappointment appeared in Su Yang's eyes.
However, he then looked at Ye Cunxin and sneered, "Do you want to withdraw now?"
"Report, I would rather die than quit."
Ye Cunxin shouted loudly.
Su Yang nodded after hearing this, then stood up and looked at the other female soldiers, saying, "Prepare yourselves for the meal!"
The female soldiers were all taken aback.
Are they all deaf?
Su Yang reprimanded.
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, the female soldiers lay down and began to perform abdominal exercises.
"Two hours of abdominal breathing...begin now..."
"report!"
"Say!"
"Why do we have to do the abdominal dissection? It's clearly Ye Cunxin's problem. She hid the phone. What does it have to do with us?"
It was Tian Guo who spoke.
Su Yang glanced at her and said, "I never said you were comrades-in-arms. If one person makes a mistake, the whole group is punished! Ye Cunxin is your comrade-in-arms!"
"report!"
"Say!"
"I don't need them to be punished with me!"
Ye Cunxin shouted loudly.
Su Yang said, "This isn't about whether you need it or not; this is the military! You are a collective!"
Hearing Su Yang's words, Ye Cunxin wanted to say something more, but Su Yang had already turned and left.
After Su Yang left, the dormitory fell silent.
Time passed slowly, and painful groans once again echoed throughout the female soldiers' dormitory.
Two hours later...
Su Yang arrived at the female soldiers' dormitory and saw the female soldiers in strange positions. He then looked at Ye Cunxin, who was still lying there, and finally said, "Except for Ye Cunxin, the rest of you, put on your uniforms and go out for training."
"Yes!"
The female soldiers groaned as they got up, then put on their camouflage uniforms, donned their gear, and left the dormitory.
Soon, only Su Yang and Ye Cunxin remained in the dormitory.
Su Yang walked up to Ye Cunxin and squatted down, looking at her and saying, "You have five hours left. Adding the two hours of punishment you had to endure since your first day here, that means you have seven hours left. Now tell me if you want to quit?"
"Report...report...even if you beat me to death, I...won't back down!"
Ye Cunxin said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.
Upon hearing this, Su Yang immediately stood up, pulled up a stool, and sat down in front of Ye Cunxin, looking down at her.
After watching for a moment, Su Yang lifted his foot and stepped directly on Ye Cunxin's shoulder.
Peng!
Ye Cunxin's arms couldn't support her weight, and her head slammed directly onto the ground.
"Asshole! I'm going to kill you!"
Ye Cunxin shouted angrily.
Su Yang said, "I'll ask you one last time, do you want to quit?"
Ye Cunxin shouted, "No... quit!"
Hearing Ye Cunxin's words, Su Yang withdrew his foot and then said, "Get up."
However, upon hearing Su Yang's words, Ye Cunxin remained completely still, lying there motionless.
After doing push-ups for three hours, she was completely exhausted. She had only managed to keep going by sheer willpower, but Su Yang's kick shattered that willpower.
Now, let alone standing up, I can't even move a finger.
Seeing Ye Cunxin's appearance, Su Yang remained silent for a few seconds, then got off the stool, bent down and flipped Ye Cunxin over. Under her gaze, he picked her up in a princess carry and placed her on the bed.
Ye Cunxin glared at Su Yang, and then she saw Su Yang take out a bottle of liniment from his pocket.
Su Yang opened the liniment, poured some into his palm, rubbed it, and finally grabbed Ye Cunxin's arm.
"you.."
Ye Cunxin tried to pull her arm away, but she had no strength in her hands and could only let Su Yang grab her arm and rub it.
Her taut, swollen arm muscles ached slightly from Su Yang's rubbing, and she frowned slightly, letting out a groan.
Su Yang seemed not to hear Ye Cunxin's voice. After rubbing one arm, he poured some more liniment and started rubbing the other arm.
Feeling her arms getting a little hot from being rubbed, especially Su Yang's calloused palms, which pricked her skin, Ye Cunxin's hatred for Su Yang dissipated considerably.
Five minutes later, Su Yang stood up and placed the remaining liniment by the bedside, saying, "I'll give you an hour to rest. Get up and go out to train in an hour!"
Ye Cunxin was silent for a few seconds before replying, "Yes!"
Then Su Yang left the girls' dormitory.
An hour later, Ye Cunxin put on her gear and went outside to start training with the other female soldiers.
In the following time, Ye Cunxin didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Su Yang's gaze towards her was softer than before.
And their attitude towards her seems to have improved.
Two more days passed quickly.
That noon, the female soldiers, who were doing sit-ups while hugging logs in the mud, suddenly heard the old fox's voice.
"Stop training!"
Upon hearing the sound, the female soldiers immediately stood up.
Then they heard the old fox say, "I declare... Hell Week over! Congratulations on surviving Hell Week!"
Upon hearing the old fox's words, the female soldiers were first stunned, then they cheered, some weeping with joy, and others hugging each other and crying.
Around the mud pit, Su Yang and the members of the Thunder Commando Team watched this scene with smiles on their faces.
As of now, there are still 32 candidates remaining!
"Give them a day off today, and training will begin tomorrow morning."
Su Yang said to the old fox.
The old fox nodded and said, "Yes."
"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
After explaining things to the old fox, Su Yang strode out of the Fire Phoenix Base.
One day later.
Su Yang emerged from An Ran's dormitory feeling refreshed and headed straight for the Fire Phoenix Base.
Upon arriving at the base, they saw that the remaining thirty-two female soldiers on the base's parade ground were divided into four teams, each team holding a flag with the words "wind, fire, thunder, and lightning" written on it.
The first team consists of He Lu, Tan Xiaolin, Shen Lanni, Ye Cunxin, Tang Xiaoxiao, Ouyang Qian, Tian Guo, and Qu Bi Azhuo.
The eight members of the future Fire Phoenix were organized into one team.
At the front of the group, Old Fox and Lei Zhan were explaining the training rules for the second phase to the female soldiers.
Upon seeing Su Yang approaching from a distance, Lei Zhan and Old Fox took a step back to make way for him.
Su Yang walked to the front of the four teams, glanced around, and smiled, "Congratulations on completing Hell Week training. However, the training to come will be even more arduous and brutal than before."
