In the end, Gu Shouxin did not object.
The next morning, he took his parents and several daughters to the women's camp, intending to see what the two girls were capable of.
Having been in Kuncheng for over a year, Gu Shouxin hadn't seen Gu Xin fight with anyone since the early days when the government was short-staffed.
Although we've continued our morning exercise routine, everyone's been busy.
Gu Shouxin also regarded this as a test for the two sisters over the past year.
Yi Ling joined the women's camp, which filled He San Niang's position, bringing the total number of female soldiers to one hundred.
Madam Peng did not explain the situation, only saying that it was a random test of everyone's individual combat capabilities.
The arena used for the martial arts competition was the same arena where the naval soldiers usually competed. The men of the naval camp were extremely eager to watch, but unfortunately, their General Xue did not give them the chance. He called everyone to go into the water, with the goal of swimming across the river.
So, besides Old Master Peng and others, only Gu Shouxin, Grandpa Gu, and Grandma Gu were by the ring.
Huo Yanyu and Gu Si each took charge of one of them, massaging the shoulders and backs of the sisters Gu Nian and Gu Xin.
Gu Si asked in a low voice, "Second sister, third sister, should we take the sandbags off our hands and feet?"
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin shook her head: "Let's challenge the strongest one first, and then we won't remove the sandbags. Twenty for each of us, then we'll remove the sandbags and then take on three opponents at once!"
Gu Nian gave a thumbs up: "I like this way of choosing!"
Then the two sisters walked to the edge of the ring and jumped onto their respective rings.
To save time, the arena was divided into two smaller arenas, one for each of the sisters.
There are ten teams in the women's camp, with ten people in each team.
Before Gu Nian was kidnapped, the Gu sisters went for a morning run with the women's camp and also talked with Gu Hui, Jinghe, and the princess about who was more capable in the camp.
Each of the ten teams was divided into five teams.
The first to go on stage were the vice generals of each team.
At Madam Peng's command, the people stepped onto the arena.
Gu Xin and Gu Nian did not underestimate their opponents; on the contrary, they respected them greatly. The women in the female camp were the people they admired most, as they were able to protect their country as women.
Yi Ling, sitting in the audience, watched with tears in her eyes. She had never known that a village girl from a farming family could be so powerful. She thought that Gu Hui was able to enter the women's camp because of Gu Hui's superhuman strength.
As a result, Gu Nian and Gu Xin's performance made her feel like she had been slapped in the face.
She thought that she was beaten because it was four against one at the Gu family's house.
After Gu Xin and Gu Nian finished their twenty-round challenge, they rolled up their sleeves and trouser legs, revealing the sandbags attached to them, and then removed them. Yi Ling was even more shocked.
That wasn't their true strength just now; now is the time to show them their real power.
Suddenly, Yi Ling thought of Yin Yueli. Perhaps, what she said was right...
The two sisters were exhausted after a morning of work. The sun was high in the sky, and at noon, there were still three people around.
General Peng looked at the two children with great heartache: "Nian'er, Xin'er, why don't we take them one at a time? Or should we rest for a bit?"
Before the two sisters could answer, Gu Shouxin refused without hesitation: "No! This is their own choice. If they can't even stand by this, then there's nothing more to say!"
Not many people know about the trip to the Goddess Kingdom yet, so Gu Shouxin hasn't mentioned it explicitly.
Gu Nian and Gu Xin bent over, supporting themselves on their knees, panting heavily. Sweat streamed down their faces, past their chins, and fell in large drops to the ground, forming a large puddle.
Their clothes were already soaked, and their hair looked like it had just been washed but not dried.
