Yue Ming did not expect to be reprimanded by Shi Man when he came over to express his determination. He was stunned for a moment before frowning in disapproval. “Women are weak and are indeed not as useful as men in the army. I’m not wrong to say this. Instructor Shi, you’re just an exception.”

Shi Man sneered and narrowed her eyes in disdain. “Do you think you’re worthy of saying that?”

These words were a slap in the face.

The expressions of the surrounding students, including the instructor, changed.

Zhang Rui had just recovered from the shock brought by Shi Man. Now that she saw her arguing with her student in public, she immediately looked like she was watching a good show, completely forgetting that she was also a woman who was being looked down on.

Yue Ming puffed up his cheeks indignantly and his expression changed drastically. “Instructor Shi, although 1 haven’t learned it yet, my results in the army have always been top-notch. There are also female soldiers in the army, but their results in first place are far inferior to mine, let alone others.”

At this moment, the female soldier he had called out, Cheng Luo, was standing at the periphery watching the commotion. Her face turned pale when she was suddenly criticized by him. She couldn’t help but stand up and retort, “The reason my results are far inferior to yours is because of my personal ability. However, this doesn’t mean that all the girls are inferior to you. On the contrary, there are still men among you who are not my match.”

“Don’t you understand the principle of competing above or below?” Yue Ming’s eyes were filled with mockery, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was silently mocking Cheng Luo for overestimating himself.

Cheng Luo was speechless. After all, with her own strength, she was indeed inferior to Yue Ming.

All the excuses seemed to have become excuses at this moment.

She bit her lower lip in humiliation. Just as she was about to compete with Yue Ming at all costs, the female instructor, who had been calm and composed, suddenly moved.

Shi Man sized up Cheng Luo appreciatively.

She took Cheng Luo’s arm and confirmed the state of her muscles. In the end, she nodded under Cheng Luo’s shocked gaze. “Your physique is not bad, and your muscles are perfect. If you trust me, 1 can help you beat him in the next assessment.”

As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned, including Cheng Luo’s instructor. She couldn’t help but walk forward and ask with uncertainty, “Do you really have a way to improve the students’ assessment results in a short period of time?”

One had to know that the next assessment would be in half a month. In fact, there was nothing she could do in such a short period of time.

However, Shi Man still looked confident.

When Zhang Rui saw this scene from the periphery, she cursed in a low voice. She suddenly pushed away the person in front of her and walked quickly to the center of the incident. “Shi Man, as an instructor, do you know the consequences of instigating a fight?”

“You again.” Shi Man glanced at her impatiently. “Do you have a hidden position in the army? Why do you like to poke your nose into other people’s business so much? What will happen to me has nothing to do with you.”

“You!” Zhang Rui’s face turned red from her words. Then, she snorted and said, “I just want to remind you not to be too willful in the army. After all, this is not your home. If you can’t do it, won’t you embarrass the female soldiers even more?”

These words hit home with the thoughts of many female soldiers present.

They admitted that Shi Man was really strong, but they could not guarantee that they could become as strong as Shi Man in such a short period of time or surpass Yue Ming, who had always been far ahead.

If they really agreed to this competition and they still lost, they would probably not be able to raise their heads in the army.

Yue Ming was right. Women were always inferior to men in terms of strength…

“She won’t lose.”

Her cold words suddenly interrupted the hesitation of all the female soldiers present.

Shi Man stood there quietly with a calm expression. “With me around, she won’t lose.”

With that, she slowly turned to Cheng Luo and said expressionlessly, “If you’re willing to trust me, 1’11 apply for a transfer with the army. I’ll train your phalanx until the assessment.”

“But…” The instructor in charge of Cheng Luo still hesitated.

However, at this moment, the female soldiers under her could not help but feel their blood boil.

Ever since they joined the army, they were unwilling to fall behind others, let alone be suppressed by a man like Yue Ming who looked down on women.

After being looked down on for a long time, they wanted a chance to counterattack.

Cheng Luo looked at Shi Man intently. The last worry in her heart was suddenly extinguished by the determination in her eyes.

Cheng Luo’s heart suddenly warmed. She nodded without thinking and said, “I’m willing to trust you. I’ll rely on you next, Instructor Shi.”

Shi Man smiled.

However, before she could say anything, Zhang Rui interrupted again. “It’s against the rules for instructors to participate in the internal strife between students. Shi Man, you can carry out this competition if you want, but you have to promise that if you lose, you have to bear the consequences for these students and leave the army on your own..”
