"Did you manage to find out anything about Lingtian?" All the mecha clans in the base wanted to know the background of this new titled super mecha clan which was going to take over the Proud Wind Mecha Clan's position in the base.
Their astonishing number of mechas as well as their grand entrance made the other mecha clans curious about Lingtian Mecha Clan.
However, when they tried to look up information of Lingtian, it just stated that it was just a newly formed titled super mecha clan which was at fifth-rank one-star. Any titled super mecha clan in the base had a higher rank than Lingtian. Hence, a lot of mecha clans weren't convinced about their capabilities to succeed Proud Wind's position in the base.
"Is it true that the regiment commander of this mecha clan is someone with a special background? They probably came here just to gain some merits for themselves." This was the only explanation for their ludicrous amount of mechas.
'We can't let a useless second generation be in control of everyone's safety and the base.' Most of the regiment commanders in the base had this thought.Before Lingtian proved itself to them that it was capable of sitting on the throne, the other mecha clans wouldn't listen to it even if Yu Huan gave them the power to govern them.
"Maybe we should test them out!" The regiment commanders of some high rank titled super mecha clans were restless that their commander-in-chief might be someone incompetent so they decided to act to ease their restless heart.
"Ah! We can finally take a break." In the JMCs' dorm, a pretty and outgoing JMC laid on her bed and waved her fists around as she shouted out excitedly.
"Little Yao, be quiet!" A pillow flew towards the face of the JMC called Little Yao.
"Empty-Handed Weapon Grab!" Little Yao quickly grabbed the flying pillow to prevent her face from being hit by it.
"Lady Mei, Ah Qing attack me…" Little Yao jumped down and complained to Lady Mei, who was in the bathroom, while she waved the pillow in the air.
"Training is not for us to fight each other." Lady Mei was using a cold towel to wipe her face in an attempt to freshen herself up. She wasn't interested in the insignificant quarrels between her comrades.One of the main reasons why these JMCs were so active the moment they woke up was because they passed the test. They were finally able to take part in the training too. Lady Mei still felt scared when she thought of the day of the assessment.
Only half of them managed to withstand for half an hour. They thought that they had failed the right for them to go for the training. However, Major Han said that more than half of them had succeeded so they barely passed.
However, Major Han got punished for their shortcomings. She had to go through ten times the amount of their training every day. Every night, Lady Mei would see Major Han crawling out of the training ground with dried and fresh stains of blood on her face.
She wasn't the only one who saw this. All the JMCs saw the heart-wrenching scene. Some weaker recruits even cried.
"What are you crying?" Major Han seemed puzzled when she saw them crying.
When she knew that they were crying because of the brutal training she had to endure, Major Han smiled and asked, "Don't you think that this is fair?"
"Why is it fair? You are a female. How can you do what the men are doing?" The training that Major Han had to go through was much worse than what the recruits were doing. It was almost the same as the training for experienced soldiers.
"Why not?" Han Xuya smiled and asked.
The JMCs didn't know what to reply.
"Actually, I'm very happy to be able to train this hard because to Boss, I'm no longer just a weak lady. I'm also a real soldier now. That is why he gave me the same training as those experienced soldiers." Han Xuya seemed excited when she said this. Only Boss knew what she really wanted.
She wanted to become a powerful person just like Ling Lan. She wanted to be able to protect the people she wanted to protect.
"You are the same too. Since you managed to earn the right to go for day training, you must forget about your gender. There is only one kind of people here, soldiers!" Han Xuya said sternly, "I always believe that a woman, even a normal JMC, is as good as any male soldier."
"Yes, head!" All the female soldiers were motivated by Han Xuya's words.
Yes, in the past, JMCs were known as weaklings that required the full protection of the base to do their job. So, the base and the division wouldn't want to waste resources to train these female soldiers. Hence, their status in the military was low. Sometimes, they couldn't even reject a high ranking officer when they confessed to them.
However here, they were able to train like male soldiers. They were given the same training resources and treatment as male soldiers. If they got hurt and tired after training, they would be given the same expensive agent. Although it made them feel like dying, their body condition really got better after taking those medicinal agents. They even became more agile. When they looked around them, they could see that they were more respected than they were ever before.
After a week of continuous training, all the female soldiers broke through their limits and advanced to the manifestation stage. Some female soldiers who were already in manifestation stage, for instance, Lady Mei, even managed to advance to refinement stage after she finished her treatment yesterday night.
Refinement stage was nothing much in the Lingtian Mecha Clan. If any of the male soldiers didn't reach refinement stage… they would be sent for training all the way until they reached refinement stage.
However, females were different. Due to the restriction on their physical constitution, they would be stuck at manifestation stage even if they were highly talented. Therefore, they needed to find an opportunity to break through the manifestation stage. Without an opportunity, they would never be able to advance to the higher stages.
Hence, Lady Mei was considered to be very powerful when she advanced to the refinement stage.
"Oh right, since we have a day off today, let's go shopping." Little Yao suggested excitedly after she finished dressing up.
She had been stuck training at the training grounds for the past ten days. She could feel the itch in her body to go out, even more so when she heard that there was a huge shopping mall in the base.
Every base had a shopping mall or a shopping district. However, these shops were all controlled by the base. The attendants inside were all logisticians of the base. They were a form of service for the soldiers.
"Sure. I need to buy some daily necessities too." Ah Qing quickly sat up from her bed without any signs of drowsiness she had before.
Lady Mei wanted to get some necessities too so she agreed to go together.
Soon, the three of them reached the shopping mall.
