Zhang Jingyue didn’t expect to still lose to Gu Xiaoxi.

Feeling indignant, she was also shocked that Gu Xiaoxi had hidden her skills so well.

At the moment, she was lying on the ground, and Gu Xiaoxi actually had the audacity to sit in front of her. On the surface, it looked as if she was submitting to her.

"Gu Xiaoxi, don’t go too far," Zhang Jingyue managed to say after a while, once she felt her joints returning to normal. She immediately got up from the ground.

"That should be my line. The one who is going too far is you. If you’re not convinced, we can have another round," Gu Xiaoxi said, noting that it was already very late. Today’s training had pushed everyone to their limits.

Zhang Jingyue, not convinced, stood up and immediately lunged at Gu Xiaoxi. Surprisingly, she didn’t use any techniques, but simply pushed Gu Xiaoxi over, and the two of them tangled together just like Li Chun and Na Feng had done.

Now, the situation was a bit out of control, as if a brawl had broken out.

Gu Xiaoxi’s face darkened, caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Zhang Jingyue to resort to this move at the end, completely overturning her expectations.

At this time, the mountain path was being watched by a group of people. All of them were dressed in camouflage, with their faces painted for a military exercise.

Upon seeing this scene, they fully witnessed what it looked like when a goddess fought. It was a sight where all elegance was destroyed and image lost.

Wu An, keeping his voice low, sneaked a question to Jiang Shichi, puzzled, "Gu Xiaoxi seems a bit off today! Why is she rolling up her sleeves to fight like a barbarian?"

"Yeah! Our junior sister looks so fierce. If the superior officer saw this, who knows if he would still want her," Jiang Shichi clicked his tongue in amazement and didn’t forget to throw in a few jabs.

Meanwhile, the communication officer beside him, controlling a drone, moved closer to the fighting Gu Xiaoxi and Zhang Jingyue to snap a couple of photos of the goddess and the lunatic.

Boy, if this was posted on the information network, it would surely go viral as the ultimate showdown between female soldiers.

At this point, Zhang Jingyue was being choked by Gu Xiaoxi, yet she was also choking Gu Xiaoxi, the two twisting and turning into a mess on the ground.

Zhang Jingyue never imagined that Gu Xiaoxi, even in such a state, still had the strength to wrestle with her.

"Zhang Jingyue, getting angry out of embarrassment, let me tell you, you’re set to wash a week’s worth of clothes," Gu Xiaoxi said with finality.

Feeling like a clamp was stuck in her throat, making it hard for her to speak, Zhang Jingyue forced out, "The fight isn’t over yet, you ambushed me just now. Let’s see who can stand up now. Whoever can, wins."

"Trying to cheat!" Gu Xiaoxi was furious. Seizing the opportunity, she suddenly lifted her foot and kicked right into Zhang Jingyue’s chest, sending her flying.

As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Although her strength was depleted, her body’s resilience was formidable, and it was not that easy for her to truly fall.

Gu Xiaoxi flipped over and sprang up, taking advantage while Zhang Jingyue hadn’t gotten up yet, pouncing and sitting directly on her waist.

She looked up into the distance and couldn’t help being speechless. Why weren’t Ye Qiran and Shao Changfeng coming? The training should be wrapping up, right?

In the end, Song Jingyi and Li Chun managed to subdue Na Feng, learning from Gu Xiaoxi and pinning him down.

And Qin Chu, even more brutally, when he couldn’t win the fight, bit down hard on Zhao Yi’s ear, causing the latter to howl in pain.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Gu Xiaoxi had keen ears and suddenly heard the sound of a car. She immediately shouted to Song Jingyi and the others, "Sisters, retreat!"

The three quickly released the people they were subduing and then shouldered their backpacks, pretending to run forward. She certainly didn’t want to be punished again for fighting. As for Zhang Jingyue, one day, she would surely make her admit defeat.

Zhang Jingyue lay on the ground, her fists clenched tightly. She couldn’t believe it—despite sensing Gu Xiaoxi’s weakness, she still wasn’t her match.

She couldn’t believe it; initially, she had not taken Gu Xiaoxi seriously, but in just a few months, she had been far surpassed?

"So, does it mean that only if she also defeats Wu Gui, can she defeat Gu Xiaoxi?"

She couldn’t stand it!

...

The mountain extreme cross-country race ended with the arrival of Shao Changfeng.

Gu Xiaoxi, Zhang Jingyue, and others were taken back by car.

On the way, Zhang Jingyue thought a lot, and by the time they reached the military camp, she looked at Gu Xiaoxi with a determined gaze and said, "In three months, I challenge you to a duel."

Gu Xiaoxi lazily lifted her eyelids, looked at the gradually stopping vehicle, and sneered, "You need to wash my clothes for a week first. Otherwise, no deal."

"You!" Zhang Jingyue’s face turned ashen instantly. Gu Xiaoxi actually meant for her to wash her clothes.

Does she even know who she is?

Gu Xiaoxi and Song Jingyi helped Li Chun out of the car.

Na Feng was also at his last breath, and upon seeing Gu Xiaoxi, he was instantly enraged, "What’s so great about her, next time I’ll have my brother teach her a lesson."

Although Gu Xiaoxi had walked far away, she suddenly turned back and stared at Na Feng, then coldly said, "It doesn’t matter who it is. I’m always ready! Three months is too long for Zhang Jingyue, make it three days."

Zhang Jingyue and Na Feng felt a tightness in their chests, Gu Xiaoxi’s arrogant tone unexpectedly made them feel an unprecedented apprehension.

...

Often, after extreme training, everyone would get an extra meal, followed by ample time to rest.

And so Gu Xiaoxi also got the time to rest.

She didn’t even eat dinner and went straight out of the training camp to find the ancient tree she normally practiced under, climbed onto a branch, and began to fervently rotate her internal skill chant, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

She was like a parched seabed that, upon encountering water, felt the spiritual energy from the outside pouring into her body like water, nourishing her drained self.

The spiritual energy inside her body circulated like flowing water, becoming more stable and more concentrated. A faint glow of light twined around her face, and the skin that had been sunburnt all day shed its dead layers at a visible rate. The new skin was silky and tender as that of a baby’s.

Three hours later, moonlight fell upon the earth, cascading over Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulders.

She now had a rosy complexion, her features were picturesque, and an air of lightness emanated from her being.

The serene posture made her seem like a night elf who had suddenly intruded into the Mortal World, so beautiful it was difficult to look away.

After a while, her long eyelashes fluttered. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes opened wide, and a sharp, ninja-like cold light flashed in her gaze, quickly replaced by a faint joy, astonishment, and a hint of wicked charm within the darkness of her pupils, along with a trace of elusive Spiritual Energy.

"This is so comfortable!" Gu Xiaoxi stood up from the tree branch and stretched lazily, feeling more refreshed than after sleeping a whole day and night.

Only at this moment did she realize that in the past, she had discarded this wonderful thing as garbage. How foolish she had been.

Gu Xiaoxi jumped down from the twenty-meter-high tree branch, light as a swallow, landing without making a sound.

This feeling! It was as if she was about to ascend to immortality! When she used her combat boxing technique, it felt like her fists were full of power.

If she remembered correctly, the cultivation technique she practiced was just a beginner’s Cultivation Technique. And there were two more scrolls of Cultivation Technique her master left her with, which she had directly tossed into the pile of antiques in her house.

Uh-oh! Gu Xiaoxi felt as if struck by lightning in an instant. Young Master Quan wouldn’t have dealt away those things, would he?
