"Starting today, I'm your captain. For the next three months, please take care of me!"

Long Jie spoke loudly before the seven members of the Tianshui Battle Team. The seven girls below remained silent.

Instead, Shui Bing'er stepped forward and said to Long Jie, "Then please take care of us as well!"

"Please take care of us!"

Since their former captain had spoken, they naturally could not oppose her, and each of them echoed the sentiment.

"Good. Then starting today, I'll be training you." Long Jie smiled, and the sight of that smile terrified all seven of them.

What would happen when one man trained seven women?

At that moment, the Vice Dean entered from outside. He took a box from his Storage Ring and placed it before Long Jie.

"The things you wanted have arrived!" The Vice Dean chuckled as he glanced at Long Jie, his gaze carrying a hint of ambiguous meaning.

"You young people sure know how to have fun."

Long Jie could not help feeling a little awkward. If he could have found someone else to help, he never would have asked the Vice Dean.

"I understand, I understand. Just don't go too far!" The Vice Dean patted Long Jie's shoulder a few times, then left with a grin.

Whew, he was finally gone!

Long Jie let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the seven curious girls, he smiled and said, "Aren't you curious about what's inside?"

The seven girls nodded. They were both curious and afraid.

It couldn't be something strange, could it?

"I prepared it for you. Line up and come get yours." Long Jie smiled ominously.

The seven girls felt uneasy and all looked toward Shui Bing'er. Helpless, Shui Bing'er braced herself and stepped forward.

Long Jie smiled, took out a set of clothes from the box, placed it in Shui Bing'er's hands, and said, "These clothes are for you. Go change quickly!"

Clothes? Shui Bing'er touched the clothes in her hands. They felt like ice silk and had a wonderful texture, but she did not know whether they would look good on her.

Did he prepare this especially for me?

Shui Bing'er felt a surge of delight and carried the clothes into the room.

The other girls likewise took their clothes and entered the room.

"Hehe, seven great beauties. Wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't train them properly?" Long Jie's thoughts stirred, and a complete plan formed in his mind.

Very soon, the seven women of the Tianshui Battle Team emerged shyly. They were all dressed in JK outfits, with no differences besides their colors.

"What's this supposed to be? Are we supposed to train in these clothes?" Yu Hairou muttered. There was nothing beneath the skirt except a pair of underwear.

Wouldn't they be completely exposed the moment they moved?

Shui Bing'er also looked embarrassed, holding down her skirt with her hands to keep the wind from lifting it.

"Ahem! These are the battle uniforms I prepared for you. Starting today, you must wear this set every day. I've also prepared extra sets for you to change into!"

Ignoring the dissatisfaction of the girls below, Long Jie continued, "Today, this is your training!"

He took a book from his robe. The words JK Hot Dance were written on its cover. Long Jie had painstakingly drawn it over the past few days, and every move within had been carefully designed by him.

A dance by seven people relied on teamwork. Long Jie's goal was to have the seven of them practice coordination.

When the seven of them had surrounded and attacked Long Jie last time, he had discovered this problem. There were clearly seven of them, yet their coordination had been utterly useless.

If even one of them had first tested Long Jie's strength, then let her teammates follow up with their attacks, they would have had no problem at all. They definitely could have defeated Long Jie.

But they had not done that.

That was why Long Jie wanted to train their teamwork.

"Take the book and study it. As long as you can perform this dance today, your task will be complete, and today's training can end. If you can't, then keep dancing until tomorrow!"

The seven girls exchanged glances, but curiosity ultimately won out, and they took the book to study it for several minutes.

A few minutes later, Shui Bing'er declared confidently, "We can do it. Let's begin!"

Long Jie nodded, signaling for them to start.

With Shui Bing'er at the center, the seven women began their hot dance—raising their heads, thrusting out their chests, running their hands down their legs...

What should have been an extremely fluid sequence of movements became as stiff as machinery in the hands of these women.

Long Jie could not bear to watch anymore. Were they doing a hot dance or a robot dance?

He hurriedly shouted, "Shui Bing'er, can't you be bolder with your movements? Is that jumping move really so difficult? Can't you loosen up a little?"

"You're the lead dancer! Why are you standing in the back? Do you understand?"

Shui Bing'er blushed furiously. Her mind went blank, and she suddenly forgot the next move, crashing into several of the other girls.

The formation, which had at least been somewhat watchable, instantly fell into chaos as the girls collided with one another.

Long Jie helplessly covered his forehead. They were really too stupid. This was all they could do?

"Stop, stop, stop! What are you even dancing? You're women, women! Can't you show a little feminine gentleness?"

"Yu Hairou, remember that you're a woman. Be gentle, not like a man. That move where you run your hand down your leg needs to be gentle—gentle as water!"

"Shui Yue'er, you were gentle enough, but your movements were too slow. That chest-out, slide-down move needs to be faster—you can't drag it out!"

"The worst one was you, Shui Bing'er. Remember, you're the team leader. A team leader can't make mistakes. There were only a few moves, yet how many times did you mess up?"

Long Jie shouted at the top of his lungs, sparing almost no one. At last, Shui Bing'er could no longer hold back. She had been scolded the harshest of all. Stepping forward, she looked at Long Jie and said, "Captain, I don't understand. We're Soul Masters—why are we practicing this?"

Because I want to watch...

"Ahem. Do you all think I made you wear these clothes and practice this dance just so I could watch?" Long Jie swept his gaze over the women. Without hesitation, they all nodded.

Long Jie: ...

"Then you're completely wrong. I came up with this dance for three purposes!" Looking at Shui Bing'er, Long Jie said, "Do you remember that day when the seven of you ganged up on me alone and still lost?"

Shui Bing'er's face flushed at his words, and she was instantly mortified. This pervert actually dared to bring that up.

"Why are you blushing?" Long Jie shouted. "That was clearly a battle you were bound to win, yet you won—why?"

Yu Hairou said, "Because you have no shame!"

The women burst into laughter. Long Jie felt a little awkward as well and hurriedly said, "Hmph! In warfare, victory is what matters, not the means!"

"Back to the matter of this dance. Wearing these clothes makes you feel embarrassed, doesn't it?"

"Yes, it feels so empty down there... It's really uncomfortable..." Shui Yue'er spoke up, her face reddening. The other women blushed as well. This captain really was a pervert.

"Then that's exactly the point. Last time, your clothes were burned by fire and ended up ruined. Then you lost your ability to fight. How could that be acceptable? That day was only a spar, so it didn't matter much. But what if it had been a life-or-death battle? Would your enemies give you time to change clothes?"

Long Jie looked at Shui Bing'er. Her face reddened as she could not help reflecting on herself.

He was right. If Shui Bing'er had not given up fighting because of her clothes that day, they would not have lost.

So... he made us wear this for our own good, yet I misunderstood him... Shui Bing'er felt a little guilty, and her opinion of Long Jie changed completely!!!
