"Have you seen everything clearly?"

The entire venue fell silent instantly, and everyone looked up at Qin Ye on the high platform.

Qin Ye's gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing on Su An, his admiration undisguised.

"This is what real fighting is all about."

His voice wasn't loud, but every word struck like a hammer blow to everyone's heart.

"To defeat the enemy with a single blow, giving them no chance to retaliate. To inflict maximum damage with minimal cost. That is what you should be learning."

Qin Ye paused, his tone laced with sarcasm, and glanced at the male soldiers who were still in a daze.

"Instead of what you did before, like two dumb oxen, exchanging punches and kicks until you were both sweating profusely, and then deciding the winner based on who was stronger and who could take more beatings. That's street fighting, not military fighting!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Especially those male soldiers who had just finished the competition and were still gloating over their "exhilarating" victory felt their faces burning with shame, as if they had been slapped several times in public.

Chief Instructor Qin Ye has never given such clear and high praise to any of his students' fighting skills!

Qin Ye had only nodded and hadn't said a word when Gao Kai played so well and Jiang Yan won so artistically.

But now, he's openly praising Su An!

They even defined her fighting style as the "textbook" and "role model" for the entire battalion!

what does that mean?

This means that from this moment on, Su An's status in the fighting world has been officially certified!

The way everyone looked at Su An had completely changed.

From disdain to surprise, to shock, and now to... awe.

After the "Gun God," could it be that Battalion Three has gained another "Martial God"?! Or perhaps a Valkyrie?!

These words, however, were more painful to Bai Wei than a thousand needles piercing her heart.

Instructor Qin...

He actually... praised Su An like that?

Why should I?!

She worked incredibly hard, winning two matches with her own skill, but despite being covered in injuries, she didn't even get a second glance from Instructor Qin.

Su An, that despicable woman, only used some underhanded and dirty tricks. Why does she deserve such high praise?

Bai Wei's nails dug deeply into her palms, the poisonous fire of jealousy burning wildly in her heart, almost threatening to devour her reason.

She refused to accept it! She absolutely refused to accept it!

She subconsciously turned her head, trying to find recognition or disdain for Su An in the faces of Sun Li or others beside her.

"She calls that fighting? It's just some underhanded trickery, targeting vital points, not the fair and square way at all. My two victories were hard-fought, much better than hers!" Bai Wei said in a low voice, her tone tinged with jealousy.

Sun Li merely glanced at her sideways, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"Really?" Sun Li's voice wasn't loud, but it was just loud enough for everyone around to hear. "If you're stronger than her, how come you were taken down so easily at the training ground last time? I heard that Su An was just holding back, 'removing blood stasis' for you. If she had done that to you back then..."

As Sun Li spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Zhang Kui's twisted arm, which was being carried away from the ground.

"Pfft—"

Several female soldiers around couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The phrase "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" had become a joke throughout the entire camp. Now, for Sun Li to say it in front of Bai Wei was practically a public execution.

Bai Wei's face flushed a deep purplish-red, and she felt as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her head, making her tremble with rage.

"You!" She pointed at Sun Li, but couldn't say a word.

Sun Li ignored her and turned her head to continue watching the excitement on the field with great interest.

Bai Wei stood there, listening to the suppressed laughter around her, feeling like a clown stripped naked and exposed to everyone's gaze.

All the resentment, jealousy, and anger transformed into an overwhelming hatred for Su An at this moment.

On the field.

Su Tang released her foot, not giving Zhang Kui, who was groaning on the ground, another glance, as if she had just casually swatted a buzzing fly.

She stood up straight, ignoring the clamor and complex gazes around her.

She simply turned around slowly and turned her gaze toward the ranks of female soldiers.

Across most of the playground, her gaze pierced precisely through the crowd dozens of meters away, like two sharp swords tempered with ice, landing steadily on Bai Wei.

Those eyes were calm, deep, and devoid of any emotion.

There was no anger, no smugness, no provocation.

There is only one kind of absolute focus a hunter has when locking onto his prey.

Bai Wei felt as if struck by lightning, and her whole body trembled violently!

She felt as if she were being watched, and that cold gaze seemed to penetrate her flesh, looking directly into the deepest fears and sins in her heart.

She wanted to raise her head and glare back with the same venomous look.

But under the gaze of those terrifyingly calm eyes, all her courage crumbled instantly. She held on for less than half a second before awkwardly and panickedly averting her gaze, her heart pounding like a drum.

Two medics rushed over with a stretcher, frantically treating Zhang Kui's completely deformed arm. Zhang Kui's pig-like screams echoed across the parade ground again, sending chills down the spines of the crowd who had just calmed down.

Su Tang withdrew her gaze, turned around, and walked back to her own line.

The entire Class 4 automatically made way for her.

Liu Landi stood there silently. Unlike Chen Xiaocao, she didn't cheer or jump for joy. She simply handed over her military water bottle when Su Tang approached.

"Alright! Quiet down, everyone!"

Lei Kuan's roar rang out again, forcefully suppressing the commotion on the field.

"The second round of assessments is complete! Everyone, take your time. Take a 20-minute break! After 20 minutes, we will proceed with the third round of drawing lots!"

Upon hearing this, the trainees breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to rest on the spot.

However, at that moment, the cold voice rang out again from the high platform, interrupting Lei Kuan's words.

"Wait a moment."

It's Qin Ye.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the platform again.

Qin Ye's gaze was cold and sharp as he scanned the faces below, some tense, some tired, and some excited.

“The third round,” he began slowly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable authority, “The rules will be changed.”

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Change the rules? This is in the middle of the assessment, how can you just change them like that?

Lei Kuan was also taken aback and looked at Qin Ye in confusion.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Qin Ye continued to announce the new rules that would determine everyone's fate in his monotone voice.

"There will be no more drawing lots this round."

His gaze swept across Su Tang and Bai Wei's faces almost imperceptibly.

"Change it to a challenge system."
