New Soldiers (4)

A bunch of dead-tired newbies could only gulp down mouthfuls of water to fill their stomachs.

The challenging first day passed in this manner.

After enduring a night of hunger, the new soldiers ate their raw meat with relish the next morning. Not a scrap was left.

But…

Before three days had passed, their huge energy expenditure coupled with only two meals per day saw a huge reduction in everyone's stamina and physique. However, Ji Fengyan acted as if she noticed nothing. She continued with their training. They would have no choice but to complete the entire regime.

A few days later, the new soldiers could no longer bear another night of only drinking water.

As night fell upon Moonset Valley, the new soldiers from the various tents plodded out with eyes glazed over in hunger. They gathered at the entrance of the camp and one by one trudged toward the forest by the valley.
