Chapter 332: Chapter 111: The Game Ends

After six days of competition, when everyone reached the finish line, they were all exhausted. On the last day, they hardly had any food left.

But they still gritted their teeth and completed the final stretch of the path.

At the end of the competition, on the road at the finish line, a vehicle came to pick them up.

Twenty people got on the vehicle, which meant that twenty people had finished the competition.

What did twenty people represent?

Gu Xiaoxi had a bad feeling, for she didn’t know what the final result would be.

During the course of the journey that followed, everyone found their own handkerchiefs, but the bonus points were admittedly very few.

In some places, by the time they arrived, the points had already been taken.

In the car, besides the eleven people who had accompanied Gu Xiaoxi along the way, there were nine strangers.

Of course, this included Guan Dongjiu, whom Fu Xi had introduced to her before.

Guan Dongjiu was sitting opposite Gu Xiaoxi, chatting cheerfully with Fu Xi, sharing their experiences along the way.

It was apparent that Guan Dongjiu was a very gentle man, elegant and charming in his actions, giving off the first impression of being clean-cut and frail like a scholarly young man.

"Why is the lady staring at me? Is there something on my face?" asked Guan Dongjiu, looking at Gu Xiaoxi curiously.

Gu Xiaoxi coughed, averted her gaze, and replied indifferently, "The wound on your face is strange, it looks like it was bitten by an animal."

"I got bitten by a snake while lying in the bushes, luckily it wasn’t poisonous," said Guan Dongjiu, embarrassed. Just then, a slight blush crept onto his cheeks.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t help but smile, looking away since staring at someone was indeed impolite.

At that moment, the return vehicle started moving.

Most of the soldiers were so tired that they fell asleep, even the military dog lay at their feet, starting to rest.

A whole day of travel, and six consecutive days of exertion, the intensity of such prolonged physical activity was something they had never experienced before, so everyone was knocked out.

Of course, the most exhausted were Ji Xinyu and his two lackeys, who had hacked their way through obstacles all along and fell asleep in the vehicle as soon as they got onboard.

"What’s with those two, covered in injuries?" someone asked curiously upon seeing the cuts from thorns all over Ji Xinyu’s face.

Zhuang Xiaomeng, however, chuckled and hurried to explain for them, "They’re just too clumsy. They fell into a thorn bush while trying to cut through it and ended up pricking themselves like this. Oh, truly pitiful."

Indeed, no injustice was done to Ji Xinyu; he really was clumsy enough to fall into a thorn bush even after getting pricked, making one wonder how he had acquired his skills thus far.

After observing carefully over some time, Gu Xiaoxi found that Ji Xinyu was arrogant, haughty, profligate, merciless, and lacked compassion. This could probably be attributed to his upbringing; at heart, he was somewhat bad, but not to the point of being unreasonable or incapable of recognizing his mistakes.

So, if properly guided, he could still become a good soldier.

The others were fine, but with twenty people, and the world competition only needing twelve, did that mean the extra eight would all be eliminated?

After a three-hour drive, they returned to the Second Military Region.

That’s when everyone saw the man known as the highest commander of the Eight Divisions, Sir General.

All lined up to salute him.

"Congratulations on completing the assessment. Although it was tough, you’ve reached the standard for the world competition, which pleases me greatly, and I’m glad so many of you have remained. ... However, the scoring for this competition will be reserved for now. The results will be announced to everyone in three days," announced Zhao Guoqiang, standing in front of them and speaking for ten minutes before looking at them with a serious tone, "In the following three months, we’ll have our training. Only those who can truly complete the training will be eligible to officially enter the world competition. Do you have the confidence?"

The crowd responded in unison, "Yes!" Their loud voices also expressing their determination; therefore, the competition was fierce.

"Very well, everyone will have three days to rest and do as you please. Then, after three days, we shall commence a closed, month of Devil Training. We will only be able to relax and rest the day before the world competition," continued Zhao Guoqiang.

"Yes!"

...

Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t expected that the next three months would be like this; after the assessment, there was still three months of Devil Training! The days seemed to be getting tougher.

After Zhao Guoqiang finished speaking, everyone could finally enjoy a hearty meal, go back to their dormitories, take a nice shower, and get some sleep.

As soon as Gu Xiaoxi turned on her phone, Quan Shaoqing’s call came through.

"Wife, where are you? I’m downstairs. Hurry up and come down," Quan Shaoqing’s voice was almost immediate on the other end of the line.

On hearing his familiar voice, Gu Xiaoxi’s face broke into a brilliant smile, "Wait for me, I’ll just take a shower and then come down."

Gu Xiaoxi quickly washed off the mud from her body, changed into a sporty outfit, looking lovely, and said goodbye to Yun Xiao, "Yun Xiao, I’m leaving."

"When will you be back?" Yun Xiao quickly asked. Now that there were only two female soldiers left in the competition, she would be all alone if Gu Xiaoxi left.

"I might not be back tonight. With three days to go, Shaoqing might take me home. If you’re bored, I’ll discuss it with him later and take you with us to City A," explained Gu Xiaoxi.

"Then hurry up and go!" Yun Xiao nodded. She watched Gu Xiaoxi leave happily, feeling a bit bored herself.

She had just lain down on the bed when there was a knock at the door.

Thinking Gu Xiaoxi had forgotten her key and come back, she hurried to open the door, teasing with a smile, "You don’t have to be that eager to see your husband! You almost broke the door knocking like that."

Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she saw a man.
