After the whipping, the bunch of new soldiers remained well-behaved. Despite the teeth-gnashing agony and their urge to just collapse groaning on the floor, none of them dared to move an inch without Ji Fengyan's permission. Everyone bore the intense pain with miserable expressions and stood crookedly at the martial arts arena.
Ji Fengyan looked satisfactorily at the red-faced rookies. "Let this be a lesson to you all. You will listen to my orders as long as you are under me. I will deal with all offenders with according to military law."
The crowd looked at Ji Fengyan. She was clearly just a 15-year-old young girl but spoke like a tyrant.
The new soldiers were full of bitterness but dared not say a word. They could only nod compliantly.
The punishment had been doled out and the example made. Ji Fengyan allowed the group to disperse and gave them three days to recuperate, after which they would need to continue reporting to the martial arts arena.
