Ji Ning was trapped in deep self-doubt.
After Bai Xiaotang handed her a piece of paper, she puckered her lips and whined, "I know this goal is hard to achieve, but I won't give up. I transferred to Anhe Middle School just to achieve this goal. Sister Ning, Sister Xiaotong, you'll support me, right?"
Bai Xiaotang's coy tone carried a trace of urgency, not as confident as she usually was.
Ye Tong immediately supported her, "Of course, I'll help you work towards the goal. Sister Ning will definitely pitch in too, won't you, Sister Ning? Sister Ning..."
Ye Tong gave Ji Ning a meaningful look.
But Ji Ning frowned slightly, scrutinizing Bai Xiaotang without speaking.
With this useless physique, she couldn't survive half a day in chaotic times.
Seeing Bai Xiaotang's smile beginning to falter, Ye Tong quickly comforted, "Tangtang, I looked up last year's self-enrollment requirements for the First Military Academy's medical program. As long as either spiritual power or physique level reaches B5 level, you can apply. Your spiritual power is now at C9 level; just a little more effort and you'll reach B-level. Anhe Middle School also has regional recruitment advantages, so you'll definitely get into the First Military Academy."
"But with so many applicants every year, I might not necessarily be admitted."
Bai Xiaotang was initially full of confidence, but after seeing Ji Ning's expression, she suddenly felt less confident. Her eyes grew dim, as if she had remembered something, tears welled up.
Ye Tong hurriedly got up, walked around the table, and went to comfort her, casting a somewhat reproachful glance at Ji Ning.
Seriously, Tangtang is still underage, so young, why not just give her more encouragement?
"Tangtang, you are only 16 this year, two years away from the self-enrollment age. As long as you study well at Anhe Middle School and diligently refine your body, you'll surely improve your physique and reach the self-enrollment standard..."
"But I've tried hard before..."
"You need to try harder. There's a saying, strive, strive again, and strive harder, outperform others and achieve your goals."
"..."
Just as Bai Xiaotang was about to burst into tears, Ji Ning, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "It's not impossible to reach B5 level."
Little Saint Mother's physique is really poor, just slightly better than Lin Yuanyang's useless physique. The spiritual power is also not high, let alone comprehension.
To improve quickly, relying solely on devil training won't cut it; her exclusive medicinal baths and treatments must be paired.
With a dual approach, there's a chance she could become a Control Ability User.
Bai Xiaotang didn't yet realize her tears had actually exchanged for the chance to become a superpower user; had she known earlier, she would surely have cried dramatically, clinging to Ji Ning's leg and crying.
"Really?" Bai Xiaotang's eyes were teary, looking weak and fragile, like a bullied little flower. Ji Ning snorted coldly.
In chaotic times, there's no lackey that Ji Ning can't train, even if it's a pig, she could train it to an eight-level mutant pig's strength.
Bai Xiaotang broke into a smile through her tears, after hugging Ye Tong, she was about to pounce and hug Ji Ning but was held back disdainfully by her pressing a hand against Bai Xiaotang's forehead, thrashing about like a child.
Laughter filled the room, carrying the purest dreams of young girls.
"And you?" Ji Ning glanced at Ye Tong.
Her physique was a bit better; if she wanted to become a superpower user, she could train together anyway, whether guiding one sheep or two sheep made no difference.
To repay their kindness, Ji Ning disliked owing favors.
Ye Tong paused for a moment, Bai Xiaotang quickly answered, "Sister Ning, Sister Xiaotong's dream is to star as the leading lady in the 'War God' series of blockbuster films and become an actress like Su Qiangwei."
Ji Ning: "..."
Acting is not her forte, but becoming a War God, she does have experience.
Perhaps she could train her to Ye Jianxiu's level of trailing—the tail end car level? At least in this era, she could undoubtedly stand above the crowd...
Ji Ning seriously scrutinized Ye Tong for a moment, pondering, "It's not impossible."
"Hehe, I told you it was possible, Sister Ning has acknowledged you…"
"Get up early tomorrow." Finished making decisions, Ji Ning confidently reached for the meat in the pot with chopsticks.
Training these two little wastrels will start soon, better eat more to supplement.
And these two girls, silly with excitement being acknowledged by Ji Ning, hadn't realized yet what Ji Ning meant by saying get up early?
***
A good night's sleep.
Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong, groggy from sleep, somehow found themselves standing on the rooftop of building 8.
At this moment, the sky was still shrouded in darkness, dotted with stars, the autumn breeze promptly clearing their heads somewhat.
"Ning... Sister Ning?"
The two "little white rabbits" suddenly sensed something amiss, especially seeing the previously lazy Ji Ning now donned in a black tracksuit, hands behind her back, lips lightly pursed, a serious demeanor, exuding a "Don't mess with me, touch me and you'll die" aura from head to toe, scared the two into trembling, instinctively wanting to flee.
Ji Ning didn't give them a chance to escape, extending her hands from behind and tossing four small sandbags in front of them.
The sandbag fabric seemed familiar, Ye Tong stared for a long time, suddenly cried out, "Ah... my newly bought apron..."
Ji Ning glanced at her, snorted coldly, immediately scaring Ye Tong into obedient silence.
Today's Sister Ning was terrifying, like an instructor ready to clean them up at any moment.
Next, a chilly voice sounded, "To quickly improve your physique and spiritual power, from now on, train here at this time every day. Now, tie the sandbags to your legs."
"Training?" The two echoed each other, eyes filled with confusion.
Ji Ning snorted coldly, "Still thinking of applying to military school to become a military doctor like this?" Bai Xiaotang's memory instantly returned, obediently standing upright.
Ye Tong was about to sympathize, but seeing Ji Ning's gaze sweep over, quickly retracted her gaze, behaving like a submissive quail.
"You..."
"Do I not have to train?" Ye Tong asked.
She already had a job, without significant academic demands, even if attending school, she'd aim for a performance-related institution, where physique and spiritual power were less required.
But after Ji Ning's gaze inspected her for a moment, she coldly said, "Not like War God, so train together."
"..."
"First, go downstairs and run around the community ten times," Ji Ning set forth the training goal.
Bai Xiaotang raised her hand in confusion, "Sister Ning, aren't we practicing the Body Refining technique?"
"What Body Refining technique?"
"The Ji Ning Body Refining technique..."
Ji Ning was shocked momentarily; a guess formed quietly in her mind: Back then, for survival, she created a set of boxing techniques combining body refining and attacking based on human anatomy and her own fighting experience, capable of improving body traits while safeguarding oneself in chaotic times.
Could it be that it's the Ji Ning Body Refining technique they're referring to?
Upon witnessing the familiar reverence in Ye Tong's eyes, confirmed her guess.
"The International Alliance released a total of 8 sets of body improving Body Refining techniques, the Ji Ning Body Refining technique, created by my idol, is a compulsory Body Refining course for Hua Continent elementary and middle schools."
Ji Ning: "..."
"Back then, Fu Huayu, Ye Jianxiu, and Li Zhan, the three commanders, were taught personally by my idol, practicing this very Ji Ning Body Refining technique. It's said all the moves within were devised bit by bit by herself, exceptionally powerful."
Ji Ning nodded slightly.
This, indeed, was true.
Back then, her three lackeys were all trained by her to prevent losing territory battles outside, as that would tarnish the face of the first female demon in chaotic times.
"Sister Ning, you haven't practiced the Ji Ning Body Refining technique, have you?"
"Practiced."
Her self-created.
"Thank goodness, scared me for a moment, I thought you were a fan of the rival group."
What is that???
