The Azure Dragon Mountain, covered in pristine white snow, was now being scaled by the officers, who, at Ye Qiu's request, had shrugged off their thick clothes and were climbing towards the peak with bare arms.
Many were shivering, yet no one shrank back, for in front of them stood a figure doing the same, who also rapidly surpassed everyone; that person was Ye Qiu.
The only one who hadn't removed her clothes was Lin Qiao'er, but she wore little, just a single layer that was hardly effective against the bone-chilling cold.
All were treated without exception, and as an instructor, Ye Qiu led by example, acting as a role model.
Without any complaints, at this moment, everyone was driving towards the target ahead with all their might.
"Those who cannot reach the midway point of the mountain within twenty minutes will get no lunch today," Ye Qiu had decreed, including himself in this rule, while so far less than a quarter of the time had passed.
