Chapter 46 - This Son-in-law is Decided

“Chenfeng, let’s have another round,” mumbled the old marshal Wu, slurring his words as he lay draped over the table.Ye Dongjian, Lin Zhonghu, and Wu Kunming busied themselves trying to help Marshal Wu sober up, alternating between applying hot towels and brewing hangover tea for him.

Marshal Wu was the formidable second-in-command of Huaxia Country’s military region, known as “a man who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.” Now that he lay inebriated in the Strong Soldier Training Camp’s instructor’s office, taking such news outside would be rather unflattering.

As Ye Dongjian changed the hot towel for Marshal Wu, he said with a chuckle, “Big Hei Xiong, I’m afraid Chenfeng won’t be able to go to the Capital Military Region this time; I really didn’t expect his drinking capacity to be so impressive!”

Wu Kunming, with a dark expression where his smugness used to be, retorted unwillingly, “Ye Dongjian, don’t get too pleased with yourself.

With my old man’s character, he’d definitely not give up so easily.”

With the trio’s efforts, Marshal Wu’s drunkenness subsided somewhat.

He rubbed his somewhat swollen head and looked up at the three men, asking, “Where did Chenfeng go?”

Wu Kunming replied, “Dad, you’re asking where Chenfeng went?

He drank you under the table.”

“That kid has no respect for his elders, drinking so fiercely!

It seems even ‘a man who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk’ has his limits!

If those old fellows in the Capital City saw me like this, they’d probably die laughing,” thought Marshal Wu, feeling extremely frustrated.

He vaguely recalled the recent events; Ye Chenfeng had downed six large cups of baijiu without a hint of drunkenness, whereas he had passed out after the sixth.

“Kunming, help me meet that young man who doesn’t know how to respect his elders,” said Marshal Wu, immensely satisfied with Ye Chenfeng in his heart.

With Chenfeng’s drinking ability and martial skills, he felt there couldn’t be a better grandson-in-law.

Wu Kunming supported Marshal Wu, with Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu following behind, guessing that Ye Chenfeng must have returned to the Leap Troop’s barracks.

At this point in time, during the lunch break, as they approached the Leap Troop’s barracks, Marshal Wu and his group were drawn to the boxing techniques being practiced by the members of the Leap Troop.

They saw a crowd gathered in front of the barracks, where Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, and Gu Le were practicing the military boxing technique that Ye Chenfeng had taught them!

Although the three of them couldn’t match Ye Chenfeng’s momentum, there was already a flavor of authenticity in their movements.

“Zhonghu, what’s this boxing technique called?

It feels a bit like military boxing, doesn’t it?

But the power it can unleash seems to be several times stronger than military boxing, and its offensive and defensive moves are quite perfect.

If this technique could be spread throughout the military, our nation’s soldiers would see a significant increase in their combat capabilities!” Marshal Wu, as the deputy head of Huaxia Country’s military region, could discern a great deal from a simple set of moves.

Scratching his head, Lin Zhonghu said with embarrassment, “Commander, I’m not really clear about the name of this boxing technique either.”

“Zhonghu, then aren’t you going to ask?” Marshal Wu shook his head helplessly.

To him, Lin Zhonghu was commendable in many ways, except that he was a bit too rigid and not adept at inferring and extrapolating.

Otherwise, his position might not have been just an instructor of the Leap Troop; he could’ve risen higher.

“Yes, commander!” Lin Zhonghu made his way through the crowd and barked, “What are you all doing?

Seems like you have quite a bit of spare time!” Thɪs chapter is updated by NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet

At the booming voice of Lin Zhonghu, the group in front of the barracks scattered instantly.

Lin Zhonghu hastily called out again, “Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, Gu Le, the three of you stay.”

Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, and Gu Le halted their departing footsteps.

They knew that disobeying the instructor’s orders would mean ‘extra servings’ during training, and they definitely didn’t want to be the subject of any special attention.

It wasn’t long before the others had dispersed, leaving only Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, and Gu Le, causing the trio to curse inwardly, “No loyalty.”

“Tell me, what was that set of boxing you were practicing just now?” Lin Zhonghu asked.

As he spoke, Elder Wu and others also approached.

“Reporting to the instructor, it was Ye Chenfeng who taught us,” the three replied in unison.

When Ye Chenfeng had taught them this set of military boxing, he had not insisted that they keep it secret; besides, even if they didn’t tell, the instructors could easily find out through a simple investigation.

“Chenfeng again?

It seems he’s full of secrets!” Elder Wu exclaimed.

“This set of boxing seems quite powerful!” Given that Elder Wu had lost a drinking bet to Ye Chenfeng, Ye Chenfeng no longer needed to go to the Capital Military Region.

At this moment, Lin Zhonghu shifted his thoughts towards Ye Chenfeng.

“Reporting to the instructor, we three only touched on this set of military boxing yesterday.

Ye Chenfeng could exhibit the essence of this set of military boxing fully, whereas we three haven’t even mastered the basics yet!”

Only one day of contact and they could demonstrate such power already?

Those present were shocked.

Lin Zhonghu continued to inquire, “Is this set of boxing really military boxing?”

“Yes, instructor, Ye Chenfeng said this set of military boxing is the result of his improvements,” the three answered without a doubt, completely “selling out” Ye Chenfeng.

However, since Ye Chenfeng had taught them the set, he hadn’t expected them to keep it secret.

“This Ye lad keeps surprising me time after time!

Where is he now?” Elder Wu asked eagerly.

Zhou Ping and the others didn’t recognize Elder Wu, only looking puzzledly at Lin Zhonghu, who gruffly ordered, “Are you three not going to answer quickly?”

“Instructor, Ye Chenfeng has just left the Strong Soldier Training Camp,” the three answered simultaneously.

“What?

Ye Chenfeng has left?” Lin Zhonghu asked loudly, seeming to have his hopes dashed once again.

“That kid Chenfeng is really restless!

But I’d like to have this grandson-in-law firmly on my side,” Elder Wu thought to himself.

“Dongjian, do you have Chenfeng’s phone number?

Dial it for me immediately,” Elder Wu commanded.

Ye Dongjian, not entirely willing, dialed Ye Chenfeng’s number and handed the phone to Elder Wu.

On the call, Elder Wu expressed his intention to promote Ye Chenfeng’s version of the military boxing across the Huaxia military regions.

Ye Chenfeng, who had already left in a car, of course, agreed without hesitation.

Without Ye Chenfeng’s help, it was virtually impossible for most people to exhibit the power of this military boxing as the bones of the soldiers in the military region were fully developed.

Of course, he didn’t tell Elder Wu about this; otherwise, the latter might think he was hoarding secrets!

In any case, they would find out the issue later.

As for Zhou Ping, Lu Tian, and Gu Le, it was clear they had become the chosen ones to promote and teach this set of military boxing, especially since Ye Chenfeng generally wouldn’t return to the military region under normal circumstances.
