Chapter 2280: Chapter 2281: Military Training Begins (Second Update)
Holding the complete Commander’s Seal, Xue An spoke with supreme authority.
At his command, the aura around Yue Yangping and the captain beside him swiftly transformed.
The armor on Yue Yangping gleamed brightly, while the former captain’s aura became dispirited, his attire turning dull and lackluster.
This scene, witnessed by all, caused the eyelids of those captains harboring little schemes, trying to make Xue An bow down, to twitch wildly.
After all, they hadn’t expected Xue An to act so decisively, stripping a captain of all authority with just a few words and bestowing it to another.
This move hit right at their soft spot.
After all, the only thing they relied on was this small bit of power they held, but now Xue An used ironclad reality to show them.
Just who granted them their authority!
This caused those captains, who previously eyed any potential benefits, to regret deeply.
But this was just the beginning.
Xue An turned toward the elite soldiers and said indifferently, "Do you know? Although the Yue Clan regards you as elite, in my eyes, you are trash among trash!"
These blunt words made the elite soldiers, always proud, show anger on their faces.
For they were most proud of the elite label they carried.
Yet now it was ruthlessly torn away by Xue An.
How could this not infuriate them?
"Do you feel angry, thinking my words are arrogant?" Xue An sneered, then continued.
"Indeed, none of you are weak, and you have trained here at the training ground honing tactics and ambush techniques for years, but is it useful? It only makes you a more powerful form of trash!"
With a burst of laughter, Yue Qinghuan was amused by Xue An’s metaphor.
But she quickly realized it was inappropriate, composed herself, and listened seriously.
"I know you are all unconvinced, believing you aren’t that bad! But do you know what true elites look like in my eyes?"
Xue An paused, surveying the audience, seeing everyone listening intently before he spoke slowly: "True elites, kings among soldiers, must be as swift as the wind, as serene as the forest, as fierce as fire, and as immovable as a mountain!"
"I ask you, how many of these have you achieved?"
A deathly silence fell over the place, only Xue An’s voice echoed in the vast training ground.
Yue Qinghuan watched Xue An, clad in white, standing proudly before everyone, her pale violet eyes gradually brightening.
"As swift as the wind, as serene as the forest, as fierce as fire, as immovable as a mountain..."
She murmured these words softly, unknowingly becoming entranced.
The elite soldiers present showed signs of deep thought, then lowered their heads in shame.
Indeed!
Their strength was undoubtedly remarkable, but none of them could achieve what Xue An described.
Xue An sneered, "Got nothing to say?"
Everyone remained silent.
"I understand your thoughts well, you think your strength is formidable enough; as long as you master tactical and combat techniques, it’s sufficient! You believe discipline and obedience are reserved for common soldiers, but what I want to say is, a soldier is a soldier, and as such, must follow orders unconditionally!"
"So starting now, these captain positions will not be fixed, anyone with the capability and will can replace you, is that clear?"
The elite soldiers exchanged glances and finally shouted hesitantly, "Understood!"
"I can’t hear you!"
Xue An roared suddenly, his voice so loud it buzzed in the soldiers’ eardrums.
Then they finally realized and shouted in unison, "Understood!"
"Very well, since you understand, starting now, each of you run ten laps around the entire training ground!"
This training ground occupied half a planet, and running ten laps around it would take even these powerful soldiers at least a day!
The key is that in the eyes of many soldiers, this method seemed useless, causing them to hesitate.
Xue An didn’t urge them, merely smirked and raised a finger, "Now it’s twenty laps!"
Everyone: "..."
"Thirty laps!"
Someone first shouted out loudly, then dashed off.
The remaining soldiers shivered all over, for they had no doubt that if they continued to stand there motionlessly, this white-clad youth would keep adding to the laps.
Imagine being made to run a hundred laps around a planet, what would that mean?
That would be deadly!
Under this fear, the soldiers charged off in a throng, sprinting around the training ground.
Yue Qinghuan walked up admiringly, "Xue An, you’re truly impressive! These elite soldiers haven’t been this obedient in ages!"
Xue An smiled slightly, "Elite soldiers? In my hands, even a soldier godfather must behave!"
Yue Qinghuan blushed a bit, turning her head away, not daring to meet Xue An’s smiling face.
Because she found Xue An’s confident demeanor incredibly handsome!
"Ahem, I..."
Just as she tried to start a conversation, Xue An suddenly shouted.
"The soldier in the seventh row, if you dare to secretly use a magic tool to help you run again, I’ll make you run until this time next year, believe it or not?"
This shout echoed throughout the training ground, causing the soldier to tremble, and the jade decree at his waist shattered on the spot.
Immediately, Xue An said coldly, "Remember, no one is allowed to use magic or any external force, you must complete the laps with your clumsy pig-like bodies, I’ll be watching the entire time, if anyone violates..."
He left the sentence unfinished, but the icy threat sent shivers up everyone’s spines.
Instantly, those who had been plotting to be lazy dispelled such thoughts.
This guy was keeping an eye on them, and if caught, it would spell disaster!
So everyone obediently measured the land with their legs.
Thus, a strange sight appeared on the sprawling training ground, where soldiers who usually gathered in threes and fours to chat now obediently sprinted on the ground.
And Xue An stood calmly in mid-air, overlooking the scene.
The scene was really like herding sheep.
Meanwhile, in the flower hall of the Yue Clan’s main house, Yue Shifang let out a long sigh.
"Leaving is good as well; it’s been hard on you all these years!"
