Chapter 18 - Sharing the Limelight

The Strong Soldier Training Camp in Tianhai is a special department not subject to the control of the local military region.Its existence is to train excellent individual soldiers for the country.

Of course, not just anyone can enter for training; those who step into the Strong Soldier Training Camp are outstanding soldiers from all over the country.

Ye Chenfeng’s uncle, Ye Dongjian, is an instructor in the shooting department of the Strong Soldier Training Camp, which, in addition to the shooting department, has several others such as combat and weapons research.

Generally, soldiers entering the Strong Soldier Training Camp can only choose to join one department.

This time, Ye Dongjian had arranged for Ye Chenfeng to enter the Leap Troop.

The Leap Troop did not belong to the Strong Soldier Training Camp but used part of its facilities to train soldiers.

The name of the Leap Troop was very prestigious in Huaxia Country’s military regions.

Once someone entered the Leap Troop, if they could come out safely, their strength and various qualities would definitely see a qualitative leap.

Of course, the training of the Leap Troop was not ordinarily strict; in fact, it was often life-threatening, and injuries like missing arms or broken legs were common.

So, coming out safely from the Leap Troop was something to be proud of.

“Chenfeng, are you really not going to reconsider?

Why don’t you stay in my shooting department for a while?

Once your physical fitness improves, I’ll arrange for you to enter the Leap Troop.

Once you’ve entered the Leap Troop, even I, your uncle, won’t have any say,” Ye Dongjian explained the situation of the Leap Troop to Ye Chenfeng in detail.

“Uncle, you don’t have to worry about me.

I won’t embarrass you,” said Ye Chenfeng, who now desperately needed high-intensity training.

Clearly, the Leap Troop Ye Dongjian mentioned met his requirements.

“Since that’s the case, follow me!” After taking Ye Chenfeng around the Strong Soldier Training Camp, Ye Dongjian brought him to the door of an indoor training ground and pushed the door open.

Inside were two soldiers around Ye Dongjian’s age.

“Dongjian, is this the nephew you recommended?

Look at him, does he think the Leap Troop is a holiday resort?

I’m afraid he won’t last even a day,” said one officer bluntly.

Military men are straightforward; they say what they mean, and often there is no underlying message in their words.

Understanding this, Ye Chenfeng, of course, was not offended.

However, just because Ye Chenfeng was not offended did not mean Ye Dongjian wasn’t.

He responded heatedly, “Lin Zhonghu, what do you mean by that?

He is my nephew, and his skills won’t be lacking.

You promised me he could join your Leap Troop.”

“Dongjian, I didn’t say he couldn’t join the Leap Troop.

But I heard that your nephew isn’t as capable as you claim.

Why don’t I spar with him to test his depth?” said Lin Zhonghu with a smile.

Originally, he had agreed to let Ye Dongjian’s nephew join the Leap Troop for training, but then he learned that Ye Chenfeng was a fool with panic disorder. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

Inviting such a person to the Leap Troop would only be a burden, so he changed his mind.

Ye Dongjian’s face turned red.

He knew his nephew’s abilities, and moreover, Lin Zhonghu was an instructor of the Leap Troop, his strength no less than Ye Dongjian’s, perhaps even greater!

Letting Ye Chenfeng spar with Lin Zhonghu would be asking for trouble.

For a moment, Ye Dongjian didn’t know what to do.

Seeing his uncle’s flushed face, Ye Chenfeng felt guilty and stepped forward asking, “Is it so that if I can take a few of your moves, I will be able to join the Leap Troop?

If I happen to win, you won’t blame me.”

Ye Chenfeng had decided to make his uncle proud.

Otherwise, he would really be letting him down!

Lin Zhonghu burst into laughter as if he had heard a joke, saying, “You talk big, kid.

If you can beat Lin Zhonghu, I’ll recognize you as my master right away, but I’m afraid you don’t have the ability.

Better go home and play the young master!”

“Lin Zhonghu, do you have no shame?

What are you doing getting so detailed with a junior?

If you’re itching for a fight, come at me instead,” Ye Dongjian glared at Ye Chenfeng and said, believing that Ye Chenfeng was just putting on a brave front.

However, Ye Chenfeng didn’t seem to care and smiled indifferently, saying, “Since this instructor wants to test my strength, Uncle, please don’t stop him.”

“Good kid, now I’m starting to appreciate you,” Lin Zhonghu’s eyes narrowed, and the aura around him suddenly intensified.

Ye Dongjian wanted to intervene, but it was already too late.

Lin Zhonghu, regardless of his status, launched the first attack at Ye Chenfeng, his massive muscles bulging, a powerful surge of energy enveloping his robust body.

So it turns out Lin Zhonghu was a martial artist as well!

Once he realized this, Ye Chenfeng didn’t dare to treat the situation lightly, and he revved up his Second Level Soul Force, charging towards Lin Zhonghu.

Ye Dongjian and another instructor on site gasped; in their understanding, in this head-to-head collision, the one to fall first would definitely be Ye Chenfeng.

With a loud “bang,” Ye Chenfeng’s fist collided with Lin Zhonghu’s, energy spilling out all around them.

Ye Chenfeng took five or six steps back before he could steady himself.

It seems the Leap Troop’s instructor, Lin Zhonghu, was not famous for nothing; his strength must be comparable to that of Wu Kuiyong, who had once exchanged blows with Ye Chenfeng in the dark.

After the first exchange of punches, Lin Zhonghu was greatly surprised, his fighting spirit ignited, he shouted, “Good, let’s go again.

I only used half my strength just now.

This time I’ll use my full power.”

Hearing this, Lin Zhonghu launched another attack, leaving Ye Dongjian and the other instructor speechless.

Lin Zhonghu simply had no grace at all, repeatedly taking the initiative to attack a junior.

This was somewhat improper.

Facing an even more aggressive Lin Zhonghu, Ye Chenfeng elevated his Second Level Soul Force to its Peak, enduring the tearing pain coming from his body and biting his lip, he knew that he had to enhance his physical fitness as soon as possible.

Otherwise, always being unable to withstand even the Peak of the Second Level Soul Force was no solution.

“Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!—” The two exchanged blows back and forth, thrilling Ye Dongjian and the other instructor watching them, to the point where they were boiling with enthusiasm, wanting to join the fray and satisfy their urge to fight.

In the end, Ye Chenfeng and Lin Zhonghu simultaneously knelt on one knee after bumping into each other, both supporting themselves on the ground with their palms.

Lin Zhonghu felt that all the strength in his body had been completely drained, and launching another attack was out of the question.

As for Ye Chenfeng, the Peak of his Second Level Soul Force was very unstable, and continuing the fight could likely cause injury.

If his Soul Force could always remain stable at the Peak of the Second Level, then perhaps Lin Zhonghu before him would no longer be his match.
