Her progress was so fast that the veterans were trying their best too... If they lost to a senior high student who didn’t even know how to drive a car in the beginning, they would not be at ease even if they were in the Imperial City.

However, some people are born to be worshipped. Ye Jian had a second chance to live. She was like a golden carp in a pond, who could turn into a dragon when the storms came.

With her back soaked in sweat, Ye Jian wiped her sweat that was about to drip into her eyes and took the scorebook from the soldier’s hands. After looking through carefully, she drew her lips together tightly. “Not good enough, two minutes and forty-six seconds is a fail.”

“Girl, if I remember correctly, tonight was the first time you did this, and you still said that you failed?” Commissar Yan knew that the girl in front of him, with eyes as bright as the stars, was harsh on herself. But he didn’t know she was this harsh.

Fearing that going too far is just as bad as not going far enough, Commissar Yan immediately consoled her, “You’ve only touched the car for twelve days. Look, you passed the training in one try in just twelve days. Jian, it’s good to be strict with yourself, but you cannot be too strict!”

“If your target is too high, one day when you’re unable to reach it, sometimes it wouldn’t be a motivation. It would dishearten you. Leave it to the instructor! It’s a pass if he says it’s a pass!”

Ye Jian saw that the commissar was trying to persuade her and was afraid of her going to the extremes and chuckled with her eyes curving like crescents. “Don’t worry, Commissar. I know what I’m doing.”

“Know? I don’t think you know anything. Go and rest. If you continue training like this, even I will be scared of you.” If a soldier was too exemplary, the leader would be under a lot of pressure for fear that an accident could happen during training.

Seeing how the commissar was worried about her, Ye Jian didn’t refuse and went over to the side obediently and rested.

Her instructor then came running over to answer the commissar’s questions.

“She improves fast and has a good sense of direction. She seems to not fear death, that’s why she trains fast.” The instructor’s comments were all based on the point that she didn’t fear death. Without that fear, one could easily traverse the door to life and death.

Even male soldiers didn’t have that courage of hers.

But Commissar Yan was afraid. Nothing can ever happen to such a good seedling like her. He solemnly urged, “During training, you have to remember that safety is the top priority. She’s as stubborn as a mule. You cannot accompany her and be stubborn too.”

After giving the instructor a lecture, he glanced at the both of them and bellowed, “Both of you, remember this, We want results, but we cannot lose lives! There’s no use for results if you lose your lives!”

The instructor was lectured because of Ye Jian. After the commissar left, the instructor who was from Hunan Province chuckled, “You little girl, your resolve spurred mine. Now, we got lectured.”

“However, the commissar makes sense. Results must be produced, but if it’s at the expense of lives, it’s just a bunch of useless results.”

Ye Jian was embarrassed that the instructor was scolded along with her and whispered, “How about this? The next time when Commander Liu and the commissar are here, we’ll relax a bit. We’ll practice harder after they leave. How’s that?”

“No! I’m afraid of you, Ye Jian. No one trains as hard as you!” The instructor rejected her immediately.

That being said, Ye Jian was the kind of soldier that could easily inspire others on the battlefield. When she goes all out, no male soldiers would dare to fall behind.

When she fights, they fight. Everyone’s performance increased steadily.
