Yellow Hair reluctantly glanced at the receding figure of Yan Song, obediently following him. The Major led him around the base aimlessly, and when Yan Song stopped, his eyes coldly glared at the Major, who turned his head to look at him with a smile, "What’s the matter?" "Don’t waste my time," his tone was cold, tinged with impatience. The Major curled his lips, "Quite the temper, eh?" As he finished speaking, he stepped towards Yan Song, pretending to casually pat his shoulder, but, unexpectedly, swept a long leg out to attack Yan Song’s lower body. Yan Song’s cold eyes narrowed slightly as if he had been prepared, and he agilely hopped back to avoid the kick. Far from retreating, he extended his long arm to grab the Major’s shoulder. The Major felt a shock at the strength in the young man’s grip, and before he could strike again, Yan Song grabbed his shoulders and executed a perfect shoulder throw. The Major spun in midair, landing on his feet and stumbling back several steps before regaining his balance. He wiped the corner of his mouth and looked up at the young man standing across from him, letting out a cold laugh, "Not bad, a well-trained fighter, but what a pity, you’re still too green." With that, he attacked head-on, his legs swift and fierce, and in an instant the two were exchanging blows, with penetrating force and ruthlessness in every move. Ultimately, Yan Song, with little actual combat experience, couldn’t compare to these battle-hardened soldiers, and soon found himself at a disadvantage. However, he immediately changed tactics, determined to deal damage even at his own expense. He took a kick to the chest and staggered back while clutching his wound. The Major wasn’t faring much better, touching his swollen cheek with a grimace, shaking his head, he chuckled, "Not bad at all." "Disgraceful, unable to take down a young upstart and losing face for our headquarters," the old man slammed his military cap onto the table, puffing his beard and glowering. A man in his forties, short in stature with eyes sharp as an eagle’s, looked at the tall young man on the big screen, curling his lips, "Elder Shu, youth should be feared, it seems Lin Zi has finally met his match." This Lin Zi used to be the national martial arts champion and had few rivals in the military. It was unexpected for him to meet his match this time. But Lin Zi, seasoned in countless battles with his skills ever improving, and this youth of only seventeen or eighteen years old, had forced Lin Zi to this point; it was indeed awe-inspiring. "Hmph, nothing but a brat, Lin Zi was simply going easy on him," Elder Shu harrumphed. "Sure, sure, Lin Zi was going easy on him," the man shook his head helplessly, knowing the old man’s stubbornness and that arguing would be conceding defeat prematurely. Elder Shu felt appeased, then asked, "What’s the background of this kid?" Xiao Yu coughed lightly, "Not insignificant." Elder Shu glared at him, "Stop beating around the bush, whose family does he belong to?" "Yan Family’s great-grandson," Xiao Yu revealed. Elder Shu choked, then immediately scoffed, "The old man was a coward back in the day, lucky this kid didn’t inherit a bit of that from him." If anyone knew Elder Shu was calling the patriarch of the Yan Family a coward behind his back, no one could tell what kind of uproar it would cause. Xiao Yu’s eyes darted around, not daring to join the conversation. "He’s brave and clever, young but with proper guidance, he could be entrusted with great responsibilities," Elder Shu grudgingly admitted. The source of thɪs content is novel-fire.net Xiao Yu smiled, "He is indeed superior to those new recruits, and also the top scholar of this year’s university entrance exam; he has both skill and intellect. It would be a real shame to lose such talent." Elder Shu rolled his eyes in frustration, inwardly cursing his own useless progeny, wondering how the Yan Family could have raised such an outstanding child. Could his family have bad feng shui? He spat out the thought—what kind of soldier believes in that? "Alright, notify the Yan Family and take the boy away. From now on, you’re in charge of assembling this action team," Elder Shu instructed. Xiao Yu immediately stood up straight and saluted crisply, "Yes, sir." "However..." Xiao Yu glanced at Elder Shu, "about Miss Yan He..." At the mention of her, Elder Shu was visibly annoyed, saying coldly, "Bring her to me." Xiao Yu quickly advised, "Elder, don’t be angry. Miss Yan He is just a kid who likes to have fun. Please discuss it gently with her, and don’t lose your temper with the child... " Elder Shu glared at him, "Erase her name from your list." Xiao Yu nodded, "Alright." In truth, Miss Yan He had decent ability as the offspring of a military family, and if it weren’t for Elder Shu’s presence, he’d offer her the opportunity, but for now... it was best to follow Elder Shu’s lead. Yan He was led in by a soldier, and upon seeing the figure facing away from her at the map, she instinctively turned to leave. Yan He stuck out her tongue, giggling as she turned around: "Grandfather, Yan’er missed you so much, did you miss Yan’er?"
