Chapter 230 -134: Fairness is Always Relative

Gu Changsheng slowly hooked up the corner of his mouth, flashing an evil smile.

She, as a person, simply couldn’t stand seeing everyone in sorrow while one person rejoices. These four who paraded carefreely now appeared particularly irritating.

“Nothing is established without destruction, one cannot know one’s limits without challenging them. Put on the leg weights.” He threw eight substantial sandbags over, and Gu Changsheng’s smile was utterly harmless.

When Yhan Ting and his group caught sight of the emerging Gu Changsheng, their faces involuntarily darkened.

“Put them on. To endure the bitterest of hardships is what makes one superior. You can’t avoid it!” Gu Changsheng pointed towards the family group of three, stumbling along. “Your task is to run a weighted cross-country and ensure these three pass the test smoothly, otherwise if they are out, you all are out too.”

“This is not fair!” Yhan Ting gnashed his teeth.

Gu Changsheng’s lip twitched, “Fair? Fairness has always been relative, only the strong can decide which way the scale of fairness tilts. Pack away your ridiculous arrogance, either endure it or scram. I don’t need soldiers who can bargain.”

Hearing this, the four of them twitched their mouths, and finally, with dissatisfaction written all over their faces, they fastened on the sandbags.

Gu Changsheng watched Yhan Ting and his trio desperately chasing after Han Qiu and her group, and shrugged innocently. “You reap what you sow. Couldn’t you all wait to become Protectors of Flowers? I gave you such a great opportunity to perform, and you still aren’t happy about it, huh…”

The mountain road was difficult to navigate, let alone an expanse of hundreds of miles. The three thousand Elite Guards of the Dark Camp who were already disheveled from traveling were all utterly exhausted; they barely had the energy to speak.

They were in a miserable state, but some still remained lively, with not even a single tear on their clothes. At the moment, that patch of bright red color leisurely seated at the entrance of the Dark Camp, lifting a cup to drink alone, indulgently and silently waiting for their return.

Without comparison, one would not know the size of the disparity.

With comparison, however, balance might still not be achieved, as was the case right now. Gu Changsheng and they were a stark contrast, and under such comparison, the difference was staggeringly huge.

The shame was enough to mask the ripped clothes, under Gu Changsheng’s gaze, they felt an unbearable sense of embarrassment.

What a disgrace!

Gu Changsheng squinted his eyes at the returning Elite Guards, who were now in an utterly disheveled state, clothes tattered, no longer resembling the Elite Guards in the slightest.

His eyes slowly swept over the gate of the Dark Camp Fortress. Gu Changsheng was waiting, waiting for those few in his heart to appear.

Following his gaze, the Elite Guards of the Dark Camp also looked towards the gate of the Mountain Stronghold. This view was startling.

“Where are the four commanders?”

“They haven’t returned yet, how is this possible?”

“…”

Incredulous whispers erupted. Glancing over the already returned crowd, there were at least two thousand nine hundred people, and the last fifty stragglers would be out! The four commanders were about to fall into the ranks of those who would be out!

This reality, undoubtedly, challenged their limits of understanding. They knew the strength of Yhan Ting and the other commanders too well. To say that they would fall behind and be out was simply unbelievable.

Gu Changsheng’s far-sighted gaze narrowed, his lips curving into a bright smile. He withdrew his gaze and faced the already returned Elite Guards, “Not bad, huh? You still have the energy to care about others here. Why not think about how you have failed?”

The crowd was stunned. Failed? They clearly weren’t among the last fifty to arrive!

Before they could defend themselves, a line of figures slowly appeared in their sight, supporting each other, stumbling and struggling towards this side.

Seeing clearly who these people were, the Elite Guards of the Dark Camp were astonished.

“It’s the commanders!”

“It looks like the four commanders are leaning on the strength of those two girls and a kid!”

Indeed! It was Han Qiu, Xiao Cui, and Han Mo who were supporting Yhan Ting and the others!

Their group returning together wasn’t originally a problem, but Yhan Ting and his group being supported by two girls and a kid laid bare a harsh truth…

Back at the Dark Camp Fortress, this group of seven was even more disheveled. Xiao Cui’s face was scratched by thorns a few times, and Little Han Mo with the Black Face was so exhausted that he was sticking out his tongue…

Yhan Ting and his group were mortified, heads hung low…

Initially posing as protectors, they now had to rely on Xiao Cui and the others to make it back, a role reversal that severely bruised their confidence!

“Good! The last fifty who return will be out,” Gu Changsheng nodded and announced.

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately sighed in relief.

“But, you all are also unqualified!” Before they could fully relieve their tension, Gu Changsheng’s cold voice interrupted.

“What?”

“How is that possible!”

Suddenly, disbelieving voices erupted. They had battled to return, yet they were unqualified?

“You have returned, but you left far too many traces on your route—trampled flowers and grass, broken branches, footprints, food remnants, even traces of excretion. If this were a mission of stealth and escape, your tracks would have already been thoroughly exposed to enemy tracking!”

“The ability to track and counter-track is a necessary skill for a soldier. Now, go back to the mountains, walk the path you have trodden again. Those tracks you can find are proof of your failure. Remember them well. After ten days of training, I will let you into the mountains again. At that time, anyone whose tracks I find will be out without exception! Enter the mountains! Quickly!”

As Gu Changsheng waved his arm, everyone set off into the mountain once again, much slower than the first time.

“Lady Changsheng, we’ve run out of provisions stored in the mountain…” Under Gu Changsheng’s intense aura, Yuan Bao also felt a bit uneasy.

“If they don’t even have the skills to survive in the wild, do they even deserve to be soldiers?” Gu Changsheng straightened his long hair, his fingers slowly brushing past the blood-red forehead ornament.

“But, making another round like this, that would be nearly two thousand li of mountain road, with such relentless long-distance travel, they…”

“Their limit is much more than we think, everyone’s potential is limitless. It is only through continuous challenges and breakthroughs that potential can be unearthed and limits can be surpassed!” Gu Changsheng interrupted Yuan Bao without hesitation, his eyes filled with boundless confidence—this was a path he had once traveled!

On the road to becoming strong, there are no shortcuts!

…

General Er’s lips twitched, his face a picture of heart-wrenching pain, “Yhan Ting has betrayed us too?”

Incredibly enough, even Yhan Ting had been conquered. This Lady Changsheng, truly mysterious!

Zhou Mu glanced at a few of his trusted generals and coldly flung the newly received message onto them.

The men hurriedly rushed forward to read it, after which they all stared in disbelief.

“She made them travel around Baili Mountain twice!”

“Not a single one returned standing?”

“Seems there was one…”

“Lady Changsheng!”

“Those four, including Yhan Ting, are too useless, too shamefaced for us. Just traveling around Baili Mountain twice made them collapse!”

“Try tying sixty jin of sandbags to your legs and walk a round yourself!”

Indignant, General Er touched his nose, rendered speechless.

“Sir, if Lady Changsheng continues to choose like this, I guess…” I guess the whole Dark Camp would be tortured half to death.

“Let her continue choosing this way, the remaining members of the Dark Camp will likely see their strength increase manyfold!” Zhou Mu slightly raised his head, a smile tinged with pride curling up on his face.

Those who tried to second General Er’s opinions suddenly fell silent.

All right! His master is clearly bewitched by Lady Changsheng!

Zhou Mu looked serious, “Send a message to Yuan Bao to carefully record every method she uses to select soldiers.”

“Sir, you can’t be serious?” General Er edged closer, cautiously asking.

Are we seriously considering this method as feasible? This is just Lady Changsheng tormenting people for fun, isn’t it?

Zhou Mu swept a glance at his trusted generals, all showing disapproval, the corner of his mouth curving in a smile reminiscent of Gu Changsheng, “On the day we return to the court, you can try comparing yourselves with Yhan Ting and others.”

Jiang One and a few others exchanged glances, looking back at the resolute departing figure of their master, speechless.

“What does he mean by that?” If you don’t understand, you should ask, and General Er is a curious boy.

In truth, he refused to believe what he thought it meant.

“It means exactly what you are thinking.” Jiang One mercilessly shattered his self-deception, his words clear and resounding.

“Master is blinded by Lady Changsheng, and you’re going mad too? Just Yhan Ting and the others, Yhan Ting aside, their strength was already equal to ours. But combine General Liu and General Qi, I could take both of them on alone!” Insulted so blatantly by his master, General Er couldn’t help but assert his presence, visibly enraged.

“Although I don’t know much about Lady Changsheng, I trust the master’s judgment,” said Jiang One, very rationally.

“Nonsense, everyone says the master’s mind is muddled, now in his heart, Lady Changsheng is a Nine Heavens Immortal, omnipotent. And you actually believe that?” General Er jumped up, aggrieved.

He also knew Lady Changsheng was skilled, but only they could understand the taste of that skill when it hit their own face.

“Believe,” returned Jiang One decisively, “although I also think it’s a bit embarrassing.”

The others hastily nodded, echoing in agreement! Agreement+N!

“Dammit, dare to bet with me? If I can still beat General Liu and General Qi when we get back, each of you owes me something, how about that?” Always predisposed to gambling, General Er threw out his specialty, defiantly looking at his peers similarly biased towards Lady Changsheng.

“Winning just one of General Liu and General Qi would be enough.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Jiang One threw out a line, and immediately, General Er was thrown into turmoil, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Jiang One, near tears, “Don’t look down on people like that…”

“Truth is more eloquent than words…”

General Er, “…”
