CHAPTER 758: CHAPTER 303: SNATCHED THE FEMALE LEAD’S OPPORTUNITY (PART 1) _3

Aside from being soaked in sweat and having slightly heavy footsteps, she didn’t seem to feel any discomfort.

Twenty kilometers, and that too with a twenty catty weight, wasn’t an easy task even for an adult male soldier who exercised regularly.

Yet He Tiantian, a seventeen-year-old girl, had managed it smoothly and even ran ahead of many male soldiers.

This seemed not just genius, but downright demonic.

While outsiders saw He Tiantian handling it with ease, only she knew that her loaded cross-country run was slowly unlocking her body’s potential and gradually pushing her physical limits.

During the following various special forces training – carrying logs, rolling in mud pits, swimming ten kilometers in full gear, and doing hundreds of push-ups and pull-ups – He Tiantian gritted her teeth and persevered.

Her body seemed to have truly been thrown into fierce flames, constantly being tempered and refined.

While breaking her physical limits time and again, He Tiantian never forgot to run the Junior Master Uncle’s Wuji Technique within her Dantian.

A mere seven days of intensive training significantly enhanced her physical fitness and Inner Strength.

He Tiantian cast aside many stray thoughts, focusing solely on one idea – train! Train as if her life depended on it! As long as she wasn’t dead, she would keep training!

She wanted to see if, without using the "Golden Finger" the system had opened for her, she could achieve a real transformation purely through her own effort.

In addition, He Tiantian had learned some basic wilderness survival skills, as well as reconnaissance and Hidden techniques behind enemy lines.

Regrettably, the intensive training session wasn’t long, just a short week.

The final part of the training was an assessment. Only if they passed could the male soldiers move on to the true, long-term special forces training.

Of course, as a non-active duty soldier, even if He Tiantian passed the assessment, she wasn’t eligible to participate in the later stages of special training.

"...So, these seven days were just a trial for me? To get more ’services,’ I need to recharge and get a membership card?"

After listening to Yuan Hao’s explanation, this odd thought couldn’t help but pop up in He Tiantian’s mind.

She shook her head to cast away these unreliable musings and began the final assessment.

Although unable to join the actual special training, the past seven days of intensive training had benefited He Tiantian a lot.

After passing the assessment with flying colors, she couldn’t help but wonder: should she find another opportunity to join another training session?

If not, she might as well attend a military training camp or a wilderness survival training course somewhere else.

Also, during the days of training, He Tiantian had a lot of inspiration.

But these were matters for later. Reluctantly, He Tiantian concluded her seven-day training regimen.

Yuan Hao took the initiative to drive her back to the County.

On the way, Yuan Hao casually asked, "He Tiantian, the way you breathe during training seems different from ours."

"Yes, I’ve been cultivating according to the Breathing Heart Method I developed myself," He Tiantian continued to bluff with her eyes wide open.

This time, however, Yuan Hao didn’t find He Tiantian’s words ridiculous; instead, he was very serious.

"Breathing Heart Method?" Yuan Hao pondered for a long time before asking in a low voice, "So, there really is Inner Strength? When we sparred that day, did you actually strike my acupoints with Inner Strength?"

He Tiantian nodded, "Yeah! I told you so before."

Yuan Hao: ...Who would believe that without seeing it with their own eyes, without experiencing it firsthand?

He twitched his lips, wanting to say something, but he felt it wasn’t appropriate.

He was a soldier; it wasn’t right to ask civilians for things.

"Major Yuan, my method is really quite good. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to give it a try!" He Tiantian offered proactively.

It wasn’t some rare treasure, just a basic Cultivation Method; if it could help the respected and beloved Soldier, she wouldn’t hesitate.

"This doesn’t seem right!" He Tiantian’s generosity made Yuan Hao even more embarrassed.

"What’s wrong with it? It’s something I developed on my own, and I can teach it to whoever I want."

He Tiantian spoke with grandeur, adding, "Once I get back, I’ll summarize it and send you a document. If necessary, I can even teach you hands-on!"

"...A document will be fine!" Yuan Hao couldn’t bring himself to ask for more.

After all, He Tiantian was a high school junior with a heavy study load.

"He Tiantian, thank you!" As he dropped He Tiantian off outside the gate of County First Middle School, Yuan Hao sincerely expressed his gratitude.

With a casual wave of her hand, He Tiantian didn’t bother with formalities and headed straight for the campus.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, the New Year’s Day was approaching. The classmates were discussing plans for a celebration.

He Tiantian wasn’t a class officer or particularly active, so she just sat by and watched the lively discussion.

As He Tiantian was observing the heated talks, in the depths of her sea of consciousness, the jubilant voice of Student Xiao D suddenly erupted –

"Tiantian, this is great! The core system has finally repelled the hacker’s attack, and everything is back to normal! We can do missions again."

"And what’s more, there’s a new section for missions this time – points, rewards, and achievement points can all be doubled..."
