"Training will officially begin at 5 a.m. tomorrow. I don't care if you were top performers or complete failures before; in my hands, you'll all start from zero."
"I will spend a month smashing all your ridiculous pride and useless muscles, and then rebuilding them!"
"Those who can pull through are truly exceptional. Those who can't, like those three, are out of here!"
"Your future training and your lives are in my hands."
His gaze finally settled on the deathly pale faces of all the soldiers.
"Did you understand?!" He practically shouted the last four words.
"clear!!!"
The entire battalion of soldiers instinctively roared in response with all their might. Their voices were filled with fear, but also with a surge of fervent bloodlust.
"Dismissed!"
Qin Ye coldly uttered those words, then turned and left without giving them another glance. His green military jacket drew a cold, hard arc in the wind.
Lei Kuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed, but this time, he subconsciously lagged behind Qin Ye by half a step.
This tiny detail was noticed by many perceptive people. As they watched the two figures walk away, they felt as if their hearts were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
The playground was deathly silent for a full half minute.
Then, the crowd began to stir slowly, like a thawing river.
"They...they've disbanded?"
"My God... is this new instructor a devil?"
"My legs are still weak... I almost peed my pants when he looked at me just now..."
"Still calling me an instructor? Call me King Yama! One month... I feel like I won't live past three days..."
The soldiers dispersed in twos and threes, their faces showing a dazed look of relief and a great fear of the future. The joy of victory had vanished, replaced by endless terror at the impending "month of hell."
At the other end of the line, Zhuoyue nudged Xu Gaogui beside him and lowered his voice: "Old Xu, do you understand? This Instructor Qin is using some unusual methods."
Xu Gaogui pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses gleaming with contemplation. He replied in a low voice, "I understand. From beginning to end, it was all a scheme. A calculated plot."
"A calculated scheme?"
“Yes,” Xu Gaogui nodded. “He never intended for those three to eat swill. That bucket of swill was meant for all of us to see; it was an ‘anchor,’ lowering our expectations to the lowest possible level, making us feel that the worst outcome was nothing more than this. Then, he used the knife of ‘brotherhood’ to force them to kill each other and expose all their dirty secrets. By this point, those three were already socially dead in Battalion No. 3.”
Zhuoyue gasped in shock: "And then?"
"Then, he stepped forward and said, 'We won't let the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom eat pig feed,' instantly transforming himself from a violent 'villain' into a 'guardian' of the soldiers' dignity. That was a brilliant move! He won everyone over in an instant. Finally, he used iron discipline to purge people out, making an example of them to deter others, establishing authority, winning hearts and minds, and rectifying discipline—killing three birds with one stone, achieving everything in one step. This man's cunning... is unfathomable."
After hearing this, Zhuoyue was speechless for a long time, finally managing to utter only two words: "Awesome!!!!"
