That was to say, even if eating increased physical strength, digestion would use it up?

Physical training was the only way to maintain physical strength.

She looked at the public transport station signage. Ye Yunxi decided that she might as well forget about public transport and run home instead.

In the past, she would go for daily cross-country runs that were 50 kilometers long, and it was nothing to her. She wondered if she would have the stamina now to endure all the way home.

“Ye Yunxi, you’re not taking a car?”

Wang Tingting shouted across. After this exercise, her impression of Ye Yunxi had turned for the better. Perhaps it was because the girl had taught Ye Wanting a lesson on her behalf. After all, Wang Tingting’s face was still swollen from being beaten by the girl.

“Hmmm… Nah, it’s okay. I’ll run home.”

With a quick wave of her hand, Ye Yunxi took a deep breath, tightened the haversack on her back, and ran off.

Run home?

Wang Tingting was flabbergasted. Wouldn’t it take two hours to run from the suburb to the city? She was such a weakling, would that even be possible?

“Tingting, the car has arrived!”

“Oh, alright!”

Although she could not stop worrying, Ye Yunxi’s resolute and firm posture told her that the girl was determined to run home.

Wang Tingting couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for the girl.

Even a piece of trash was advancing bravely!

“Yunxi, you are truly remarkable!”

“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”

Upon hearing the prompt, Ye Yunxi strode out urgently.

She had only run down one street, and she was knackered. To be precise, this body couldn’t take it.

Pant! Pant! Pant!

Her lungs sounded like old bellows, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead—every step was a great effort. Beads of perspiration formed and rolled down her forehead, even her temples were throbbing a little from the blood that suddenly gushed in!

Her body was in bad form!

She had no choice but to adjust her pace, taking smaller steps, reducing the sprint to a jog. She gritted her teeth and forced herself ahead, one step at a time!

Her body felt heavy. How exhausting!

No, she had to continue.

If she didn’t train, her fitness would never improve. No pain, no gain!

Did people think one could just become a lead soldier just like that?

To achieve glory and wealth, one would have to go through trials and tribulations!

Although she motivated herself this way, poor fitness was still poor fitness. Ye Yunxi had to stop. She leaned an outstretched hand against the wall and bent over, taking in big gulps of air.

What troublesome body this was!

In the distance, a car rolled to a slow halt. Di Junxie’s eyes were fixed on this frail figure as he frowned slightly.

She was exhausted? Back in the woods, she was as frisky as a deer. Why?

That tiny figure was only taking a little rest. Very quickly, Ye Yunxi wiped her brow. When she looked up again, her look of exhaustion had vanished. Her dark eyes burned brightly as she looked into the distance. From the depths of that darkness, the determination and toughness of a soldier shone through.

That sharpness in her expression!

Di Junxie was stunned. The next moment, Ye Yunxi had shot off.

Run. She had to run. Even if she couldn’t endure it, she had to!

The vocation of a soldier was to obey the command!

Now, the command was to run home!

She had given herself the command, so even if her body was crying out in agony, she gritted her teeth and endured it!

In this lifetime, she would not only achieve what she had accomplished in her previous lifetime. She would achieve that and so much more!

“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”

“Tsk, where’s this B exp coming from?”

Ye Yunxi knitted her brow as her figure disappeared down the path.

Di Junxie smiled, his attractive features turning enchantingly sinister.

What was most admirable in a person?
