Chapter 448: Chapter 423: Skip a Meal or Two, It Won’t Kill You

"Doctor Zhuo, your words do indeed make sense. However, the so-called ’teaching according to a student’s ability’ also requires taking into account each student’s personal circumstances, and cannot be universally applied. If there are children who truly cannot withstand it, I hope you will consider this. After all, what you are looking for is not just military talent, but talent in all fields." Mrs. Jiang spoke with great earnestness.

Zhuo Jinman humbly accepted the suggestion.

But once she hung up the phone, she disagreed.

This time, it was necessary to showcase the temperament of Beicheng Continent’s students; at every step, strictness was to be the order of the day.

A lenient approach? That would certainly not be possible.

The butler made tea for Mrs. Jiang and asked, "What did Doctor Zhuo say?"

"Just some platitudes. I think she’s determined to be even stricter with this military training."

Mrs. Jiang had already quickly learned of the conflict between Jiang Zhe and Zhuo Jinman and was deeply proud of Jiang Zhe.

However, she was also slightly worried about Jiang Zhe’s physical condition.

The butler mused, "How can these children endure it?"

"If Jiang Zhe is truly a member of our Jiang Family, then we probably don’t need to worry about her," Mrs. Jiang knew her physical capabilities.

Aside from their physical strength, members of the Jiang Family also possessed spiritual power unmatched on the Beicheng Continent.

Just like earlier, when Jiang Zhe spoke to Fatty... outsiders thought it was words of encouragement.

Only Mrs. Jiang knew that whenever Jiang Zhe used her spiritual power in her speech, she was capable of lifting someone’s spirits.

Being able to consciously control and use spiritual power, Mrs. Jiang was actually already certain that Jiang Zhe was indeed her family’s child.

The phone call she made to Zhuo Jinman, although it was just a casual conversation, was also a way to let Zhuo Jinman know that Jiang Zhe had already come under her protection, and outsiders were not allowed to bully her.

...

As they moved on, the sun came out, and even though it was deep autumn, a layer of hot air pervaded the dense forest.

Jiang Zhe sat down to rest, and Beifeng timely handed her a bottle of cola.

She took it and sipped slowly; the sweet and slightly sharp taste stimulated her taste buds and invigorated her spirit.

Fatty put down his backpack, intending to get himself something to eat.

Xiaobao stepped on it with one foot: "You, no eating."

"Why can’t I eat?" Fatty looked helplessly in Jiang Zhe’s direction.

Jiang Zhe said indifferently, "Going hungry for a meal or two will make you feel better, and it won’t kill you."

Fatty: "..."

Xiaobao opened his backpack, took out some food, and shared it with Jiang Zhe and Beifeng.

Fatty looked on eagerly.

Seeing that he was being ignored, he turned his hopeful gaze to Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe remained unmoved.

Beifeng was even colder; aside from his communication with Jiang Zhe, he was indifferent to others by nature and paid no attention to Fatty’s expression.

After lunch, they took a short nap.

Xiaobao quickly fell asleep.

Fatty calmed himself with the thought that "if I’m asleep, I won’t feel hungry," and soon drifted off as well.

Beifeng cleared a clean spot on the ground for Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe asked, "What are you doing here? When are you leaving?"

"Go to sleep, it’s all set," Beifeng said, dodging her questions.

Jiang Zhe gave him a look, and he said, "I’ll watch over you, you sleep."

Jiang Zhe didn’t engage him further.

After waking up, Jiang Zhe packed up her things and left.

"Hey, idol, wait for me," Xiaobao hurried to keep up.

Fatty also followed; despite not having eaten lunch, his steps felt lighter.

Beifeng caught up and brought something for Jiang Zhe to drink.

Jiang Zhe ignored him.

Thirsty, she took water from Xiaobao’s side, and any necessary items were also taken from Xiaobao.

She was obviously angry.

Even Xiaobao noticed, asking in a hushed voice, "Idol, what did the instructor do to you? Do you want me to teach him a lesson?"

"Suit yourself," Jiang Zhe said without turning her head, continuing to walk forward.

Xiaobao thought of the muscles hidden under Beifeng’s clothes and said, "I’ll find an opportunity to teach him a lesson."

Fatty also hurried over, "Captain, is this instructor a traitor? I mean, he’s a local, he definitely doesn’t have good intentions towards us foreigners. If he’s harboring bad thoughts, maybe we should..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.

Before he could finish, Beifeng moved from behind to in front of him and said, "Against whom?"

Frightened, Fatty scurried behind Jiang Zhe, "How come there’s no sound when you walk?"

"Ignore him," Jiang Zhe told Fatty.

Seeing Jiang Zhe being unexpectedly pleasant toward him, Fatty was pleased and made a face at Beifeng.

Afterward, Fatty walked behind Jiang Zhe all the time.

This had originally been Beifeng’s position.

After Fatty took it, Beifeng was left behind.

As Xiaobao passed him, he gave Beifeng a disdainful glance.

They hadn’t walked much further when suddenly they heard a chaotic noise all around them.

Fatty chuckled, "Could it be that the local teams are following us? How embarrassing, they can’t find their own way..."

"Shh!" Jiang Zhe hissed for him to be quiet.

Fatty clamped his mouth shut immediately.

"Get down!" At Jiang Zhe’s command, Fatty and Xiaobao dutifully dropped to the ground.

At the same time, several wolves and tigers burst out and attacked them.

The enormous wolves and tigers, with their frightening combat power, ran from a distance and charged towards Jiang Zhe with fangs bared aiming for the neck.

The director slammed the table. "What’s going on? Why release wild beasts just like that? Can’t they be given a mental preparation?"

The assistant director replied, "It’s a prearranged segment, it can’t be omitted. If we prepare them mentally, then we can’t assess their ability to react on the spot."

"At least it shouldn’t be like this, right? Jiang Zhe looks totally defenseless; what if she gets hurt?" The director was angry!

Very angry!

Then, the cries of shock from all the staff could be heard, and the director immediately looked at the big screen.

He saw the fangs of a starving wolf closing in on Jiang Zhe’s throat.

And Beifeng was still in a distant position.

Xiaobao and Fatty lay on the ground, nearly scared senseless. Even if they intervened now, it would be too late.

The director banged the table, "The remote! The remote!"

Before getting the remote, they heard a snap, something broke.

The director closed his eyes, too afraid to look.

Then the staff exclaimed, "How could this happen!"

"It’s beyond imagination!"

"Jiang Zhe actually tore apart the wolf’s mouth with her bare hands!"

"That’s a wolf!"

The director slowly opened his teary eyes and saw Jiang Zhe holding each half of the wolf’s upper and lower jaw in her hands, tearing it apart with raw force.

The wolf that lost its aggressiveness lay on the ground, limp like a pile of mud.

Such a gruesome sight made the other wolves and tigers hesitate.

But then, the strong scent of blood triggered their instincts, and they launched an even more ferocious attack on Jiang Zhe than before.
