章 1024: Formidable

Xu Daxing ended up exceeding the time limit because of his momentary hesitation and had to endure twenty beatings.

However, Xu Cihang did not use much force when he was punishing him. So, Xu Daxing merely suffered some mild injuries, which did not affect his training. 

Xu Daxing had initially thought that he would be severely punished since he had directly offended Xu Cihang. However, he had never expected to be let off the hook so easily. This made him feel rather ashamed and grateful. 

Given Xu Cihang's temper, he would have beaten Xu Daxing to death if he could do so, but Chu Li had repeatedly told him that they could not afford to lose any of these twenty people at the moment. In any case, they should let these men complete their formation training first. Therefore, Xu Cihang had to control his temper and punish the young man lightly.
