Qi Guze smiled and hugged Xu Yuehuai even tighter. "There's no need for thanks between us. As long as you're doing well, that's my greatest happiness."
The wind and rain outside the window had stopped, and the starry sky shone brightly once more. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze nestled together, quietly enjoying this rare moment of peace and warmth.
In the soft light of dawn, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze ventured deep into the military camp to search for Li Lei.
Li Lei is not only proficient in military strategy, but also has a keen eye for talent, easily identifying hidden geniuses among his soldiers.
They came with a significant mission: to build up strength for the upcoming war and to gather and train a group of elite soldiers capable of harnessing the power of the Red Rose.
After passing through the winding corridor, the two arrived at Li Lei's tent.
Inside the tent, Li Lei's resolute and profound face was displayed before them.
He looked up at the person who had come, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, which then turned into a warm smile.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what brings you here? Is there something urgent?"
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze responded, and then Xu Yuehuai slowly spoke: "General Li, we have indeed come here to discuss important matters. The border situation is tense, and we urgently need a group of soldiers who can grow rapidly to deal with the possible crisis. Recently, I have been working with Senior Ghost Doctor to develop a kind of pill that can enhance internal strength and special magical power, and that is why we have come here."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Lei's eyes.
"Oh? Is that so? Quickly invite Senior Ghost Doctor to come with us so we can discuss this in detail."
Soon after, the Ghost Doctor was also invited to the camp.
The four sat around a table, where Xu Yuehuai explained in detail the principles and effects of the elixir, as well as her initial ideas for soldier training.
Upon hearing this, Li Lei was greatly impressed and immediately decided to gather exceptionally talented young soldiers from the army and have them personally instructed by Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor.
The next morning, as the sun shone down, the entire camp gradually awoke, and a sense of excitement and energy quickly spread.
On the vast training ground, a group of carefully selected, spirited young soldiers stood in neat formation.
Xu Yuehuai, dressed in silver armor, stood side by side with the mysterious Ghost Doctor, clad in black robes, on the high platform. Their gazes were deep, as if they could see through the fluctuations in the hearts of every soldier.
"From this day forward, you will embark on an unprecedented journey," Xu Yuehuai's voice pierced the morning chill, reaching the hearts of every soldier. "We will guide you to explore the mysteries of the Crimson Rose Elixir, which will not only enhance your inner strength but also grant you an unprecedented power—the Rose Power. This will make you invincible warriors on the battlefields of the future."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers' eyes blazed with fury.
A dark-skinned, muscular soldier shouted, "We swear to follow the Princess, the Prince, and the General to the death!"
The other soldiers echoed their vows, which resounded through the sky and reverberated in every corner of the training ground.
Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor exchanged a relieved look, and then the training officially began.
The training process was extremely arduous. Under the scorching sun, sweat poured down like rain, but it could not extinguish the soldiers' enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
Xu Yuehuai personally took to the field, and every movement was precise and accurate. She patiently demonstrated to the soldiers how to properly take the pills and how to guide the flow of the inner energy within their bodies, so that it could merge with their internal strength and unleash astonishing power.
"Later, you will need to sense the unusual things within your bodies. If you can grasp the beginnings of that power, you may be able to continue developing it."
"I believe you can do it!"
"You are all warriors of my Great Zhou, the future of my Great Zhou!"
Her words greatly boosted the soldiers' confidence, and they kept them firmly in mind.
The Ghost Doctor observed silently from the sidelines, discerning the subtle changes in each soldier's physique. He adjusted the dosage of the pills and the cultivation methods as needed to ensure that each soldier reached their optimal state.
"Take it slow, let your power completely merge with the power of the pill."
"Don't worry, there's plenty of pills!"
Whenever a soldier showed signs of fatigue or confusion, the Ghost Doctor would always appear in time to provide guidance and comfort.
An indescribable aura filled the air above the training ground; it was the product of the intertwining of supernatural power and the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
The soldiers closed their eyes and concentrated, as if they had merged with heaven and earth, their inner strength surging like a river.
Some soldiers had bulging veins on their foreheads, sweat and tears mingling together, struggling to find the key point and unsure how to cultivate, causing them great distress; while others suddenly opened their eyes, their eyes sparkling with surprise—they felt a leap in the power within their bodies.
"I...I actually broke through!" a soldier shouted in disbelief, his voice filled with excitement and ecstasy.
"Me too!"
"That magical power is truly amazing! I feel like I'm several times stronger than before!"
"As expected of the pills refined by the Ghost Doctor and the Princess together, their power is truly immense!"
Immediately afterwards, more soldiers opened their eyes, vying to report their breakthroughs and progress.
They felt their five senses become more acute, and their power multiplied, as if the whole world was under their control.
Xu Yuehuai slowly walked down the platform and came to the soldiers. She gently patted one of the soldiers on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Remember, strength exists to protect. No matter what enemies and difficulties we face in the future, we must remain calm and steadfast, and use this strength to protect our country and people, not to act recklessly."
"Yes! We will heed the Princess's instructions! We will never act recklessly!" the soldiers replied in unison.
Qi Guze and Li Lei also came over and stood side by side with Xu Yuehuai.
Li Lei shouted, "Brothers, in the days to come, you must strengthen your training under the guidance of the Princess! I don't want my soldiers to be inferior to others, understand?"
"Understood, General!" The soldiers knew that the enemy they were facing would also possess strange powers, but at this moment they were filled with courage and had no intention of retreating. They had only one thought: charge!
"That's good. If you disappoint me, the spirits of the other two generals in heaven will surely be even more disappointed. For their sake, you must bear the burden!"
In the days that followed, Xu Yuehuai intensified the training of the soldiers, and everyone made rapid progress, soon becoming proficient in using the power of the Red Rose Stone.
Xu Yuehuai casually devised a plan to counter them, seeking a deeper breakthrough. In this plan, their success rate reached 100%, and no one withdrew.
As training progressed and the soldiers continued to grow, a positive and uplifting atmosphere permeated the barracks.
Xu Yuehuai, Qi Guze, Li Lei, and the Ghost Doctor worked closely together to make final preparations for the upcoming battle.
