With an indifferent expression, Li Jinnian stretched his legs. He changed to sit in a more comfortable position, pushing down the annoying feelings that came up for some reason. He only spoke frankly after a while: âIâve already made a Military Oath, to turn this unit into the sharpest of blades within two years, and itâs been exactly a year and a half, I only have half a year left.â
âWhen it was first named âThe Storm Amphibious Frogmen Commandos,â the military was already hoping for us to become a unit that was capable of âdive the sea and fight on the ground,â not just naval warfare, if I go lax even a little, Commander Dong would have a hard time answering the military.
After all, Commander Dong overcame all obstacles to allow him, who didnât have much experience, to take the mantle as the unitâs leader.
When mentioning training, Li Jinnian was much more talkative than usual, âThis February, Iâve brought them over to the junction between Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as Ulan Butong and the desert for wilderness survival lasting two months, and we have gained much.â
âOur team has six scouts, three from the Ground Forces, three from the Navy, and through systematic training, the six of them would occasionally share their experience, and now, both the land and sea would pose no difference for the six of them.â
âThereâs one very unique thing about the Storm Commandos, which is, not all of the soldiers are from the Navy, weâre made up from all three armies, the Navy, Ground, and Air forces. Thatâs why, though our daily training revolved around the sea, we have never laxed with the training on land. Otherwise, we would not live up to the âamphibiousâ name.â
His words made Xia Jinyuan nod his head repeatedly; it was already apparent. However, the specialty of the Storm Commandos was at sea, but they werenât like whales that were washed ashore after getting on land and canât even move. After taking off their rubber diving suits and putting on their ground combat uniform, each and every one of them were like ferocious tigers, uncaged, too fierce.
âIndeed, the military wouldnât just limit you guys to naval combat, âdive the sea and fight on the groundâ is precisely what the military expects of you, besidesâ¦â Xia Jinyuan pressed his voice even lower and hid a smile, âI have a conjecture, this unusual match is very likely to be the militaryâs observation of us.â
He and Li Jinnian could count as knowing each other for years, based on their understanding of each other; the Devil King mustâve already had similar suspicions; however, he was just reticent by nature and didnât like to point things out.
When he heard it while taking off his helmet, a very small sliver of surprise flashed past Li Jinnianâs eyes; holding the helmet in his hands, his fingers gently rubbed against the rims of his helmet, and pondered: âSeems like Iâm not the only one thinking like that, I have a feeling the military is trying to choose elites among the elites.â
With that said, the duo in the darkness immediately went silent; the darkness was too thick, even if they were sitting so closely, they couldnât even see each otherâs features clearly, and they could only sense the slight tension on each otherâs expression.

âChoosing elites among the elitesâ¦, from the looks of it, not all of the members would be going on tour. Instead, the quota would be limited.â Xia Jinyuan spoke quietly, âFollowing that line of thought, then everything can be explained.â
It can be explained why their current competition wasnât done side-by-side. Instead, they separated at the start, met up in the middle, and separated at the end again.
Expending their energy and unearthing their potential was just one of their objectives, the more important objectives was this: selecting people!
In a group of excellent soldiers, they would still have rankings of higher, middle, and lower, and the military only wanted the âhighestâ soldiers! They wanted the cream of the crop, the elite among the elite!
After returning, Ye Jian caught that sentence of âchoosing elite among the elite,â and her dainty brows raised subconsciously. After listening to everything Xia Jinyuan had said, a look of unhidden surprise appeared in her eyes.
