Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Luo Lang took in a deep breath. Although he knew the opponent was stronger than him, Luo Lang did not want to give up just like that. He wanted to do his part for Boss — even if he knew the result he wanted would be difficult to achieve, he still wanted to try.
When Luo Lang stepped onto the stage, there was a commotion among the spectators below. "What's going on? The New Cadet Regiment is actually sending out such a skinny brat. Is the New Cadet Regiment prepared to give up on this match?"
"Look, is that brat really a guy? He's even better looking than a girl! " No one knew who shouted this, but everyone's focus quickly shifted from Luo Lang's frail figure to that pretty face.
"F * ck, it can't be a girl dressed as a boy, right?" A certain pig brother's heart was stirred by the sight, and he began to fantasize.
Of course, his fantasies were met with disdain from the students beside him. Did he really think this was ancient times? That he could pretend to be a man just by putting on a man's clothes? Upon entering the military academy, the first thing one had to do was undergo a physical examination. That was to strip naked in front of everyone... fine, the examiner was very reasonable, allowing you to use your little hands to cover your little penis.
Of course, these students who were looking down on that lecherous pig brother would never have imagined that there really was someone who had openly entered the First Men's Military Academy as a girl. Of course, at the physical examination stage, a certain national idol general who loved his daughter had used his special privilege to exempt her from the examination...
In one of the private rooms on the second floor, Luo Lang's beautiful looks and that frail and easy to push over body made one of the people's eyes light up. A greedy smile appeared on his lips as he muttered to himself, "Who would have thought that there would be such a stunner among this year's new cadets..." He licked his lips, deciding that he must obtain Luo Lang at any cost.
Leiting's contestant, Qi Ya, was a 5th year cadet. Currently, he was still attending his final classes in the military academy. Because his physical skills and combat ability were outstanding, to ensure victory, Lin Zhidong had personally invited him to fight. The reason why Lin Zhidong had arranged for Qi Ya to be the first to battle was after careful consideration.
Ling Lan was not the only one who had thought of Tian Ji's horse racing plan — Lin Zhidong had also thought of it. He was afraid that the New Cadet Regiment would send out the opponent's third strongest person against the opponent's weakest, catching him off guard and causing him to lose the first match. Lin Zhidong knew that the first match was a crucial match. If they won, the morale of the New Cadet Regiment's side would be leaning. Lin Zhidong's Editor's Choice, so he had chosen Qi Ya to fight first to ensure the final result.
Lin Zhidong's idea was that even if the other side sent out the weakest in order of strength, it would not be a loss for him to send out the third strongest. As long as he won this match, he still had the two strongest in his hands. No matter how they fought, he would definitely win. Although Lin Zhidong was a little afraid of that mysterious' monster ', he believed more in the two strongest fighting experts under the Thunder King.
Qi Ya saw that his opponent was too weak to stand up to the wind, acting like a girl, and was instantly displeased. He looked at Luo Lang with a trace of disdain. Luo Lang was not angered by the other's attitude, but delighted instead. The more the other looked down on him, the more chances he would have of defeating the superior.
Of course, Luo Lang had not forgotten Ling Lan's instructions. So, the moment he stepped onto the stage, even though Colonel Tang Yu had not said the start of the match, Luo Lang's entire body was taut. Even though his standing posture looked normal, anyone with a discerning eye could tell from his lowered arms and slightly bent legs that Luo Lang could instantly explode with great power to deal with any sudden situation.
Colonel Tang Yu was an ace mecha operator, but at the same time, he was also a combat expert. Otherwise, the military academy would not have sent him to be the referee for this match. Seeing Luo Lang's posture, a light that only he knew flashed through his eyes. But when he glanced at Qi Ya, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly...
Tang Yu raised his right hand expressionlessly and waved it abruptly, shouting at the same time, "Begin!"
Luo Lang had initially wanted to take a defensive stance at the start, tangling with the opponent for a while. He didn't expect that the other party didn't take any precautions at all. He had a lazy look on his face, and his entire body was relaxed. Seeing this, Luo Lang's mind moved. His right foot stomped on the ground, and his entire body shot like a cannonball from one side of the stage to the other, striking viciously at the opponent.
Seeing Luo Lang's attack, Tang Yu's brows rose slightly, somewhat surprised. He had long seen that Luo Lang's original posture was more of a defensive one, but Luo Lang was able to switch from hand to hand in an instant, and there was no delay at all, the transition incredibly smooth. It could be seen that Luo Lang's control over his body's muscles had reached an extremely high level.
Even though Luo Lang's physique was a little on the weaker side, not as muscular, and his endurance was probably weaker than the average male's, this kind of control ability allowed him to make up for the weaknesses of his body. It could be said that Luo Lang had already figured out a set of combat methods suitable for his physical constitution. This was definitely a youth with superb combat talent.
Right then, Tang Yu could not help but be delighted at the sight of this talent, because this kind of ability would undoubtedly be of great help to mecha control. As long as Luo Lang's physical fitness passed the first year's assessment, Tang Yu believed that he would not be able to refuse to take in such a talented student.
Luo Lang's attack was undoubtedly sudden. Caught off guard, Qi Ya was startled. However, he was a fifth year student after all, and had plenty of experience in combat. He would not panic like those rookies, choosing to parry carelessly. Instead, he calmly retreated quickly, attempting to put some distance between the two of them so that he would have enough space to charge up and counterattack.
Although Luo Lang was just a first year cadet, his combat experience was not weak either. Mind you, his companion Zilong was a combat maniac — as long as he had the time, he would drag his companions to fight non-stop. Luo Lang was undoubtedly the one who had been dragged in the most. Although Xie Yi had joined later on, the number had not decreased by much — the result of frequent combat was naturally quite good.
Seeing the other's rapid retreat, he knew what the other was planning. Having already gained the upper hand, how could he be willing to let this advantage disappear? Thus, on the arena, the two figures dashed around the arena, one in front and one behind. Because of their extreme speed, the spectating students actually saw flashes of light and shadow.
Seeing this, Lin Zhidong could not help but scoff coldly, "Who knew that I was right. The other really wanted to use Tianji's horse-racing move... luckily, I was on guard, otherwise the other might really have taken the first match." If he had sent out the weakest member of his team, whose ability was not much higher than the other's, then the outcome would probably have been hard to predict. But now, victory would definitely belong to them... Although Lin Zhidong's combat ability was not that strong, he believed that Qi Ya's strength would definitely not lose to a first year cadet.
In the arena, Qi Ya saw that no matter how he retreated, the other was sticking to him like sticky candy, unable to pull away at all. He felt that this performance of his was embarrassing, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. Luo Lang, whom he had initially disdained, was now deeply hated by him... he would definitely teach this detestable brat before him a harsh lesson.
Even if he had lost the upper hand now, with his strength, he would still be able to defeat the other.
Qi Ya, who had absolute confidence in himself, did not want to retreat any further. Thus, he abruptly stopped in his tracks, and with a loud shout, the Qi-Jin in his body gathered rapidly, surging towards his right hand, and that right palm met Luo Lang's attack fiercely.
"Good move!" Luo Lang saw that the other was not retreating or stopping, and was instead forcefully circulating his Qi-Jin to match his strength. Thus, with a shout, the right fist that had long been waiting for him struck out fiercely.
This action of Luo Lang's seemed to have gone against Ling Lan's initial instructions, but Luo Lang did not think that he was wrong. This was because he had taken advantage of the other's initial underestimation to gain the upper hand. Furthermore, the other had stopped abruptly to attack, so the amount of Qi-Jin's Qi-Jin would definitely not have been as sufficient as his. Thus, Luo Lang believed that even if this move were to clash head-on, he would not be at a disadvantage, and might even gain the upper hand.
Thus, a fist and a palm slammed together fiercely, and a dull thud rang out on the arena. An invisible hurricane spread outwards from Luo Lang and Qi Ya.
However, the edges of their arena had Qi-Jin absorption devices, so the students seated below did not sense this hidden force. Still, even so, everyone knew that this strike was definitely not as simple and easy as it appeared.
The two of them were locked in a stalemate for several seconds — perhaps three seconds, or perhaps only one second — before the two of them were abruptly sent flying backwards from their standstill. Luo Lang had been at the top of the arena to begin with, and after being sent flying, he immediately did a somersault to neutralize the force of the rebound, landing safely on the ground.
Qi Ya, on the other hand, had retreated three steps before he managed to regain his footing. His face flushed red, and although he quickly regained his composure, in the eyes of those with discerning eyes, Qi Ya had most likely suffered a small loss in this collision.
The spectating students looked at each other. They had not expected that the one-sided battle in their minds would actually turn out to be so evenly matched. In fact, in that exchange just now, the first year Luo Lang had vaguely gained the upper hand, while the fifth year Qi Ya had instead suffered a small loss.
Meanwhile, some of the new cadets were even more excited. Although they had hoped that the new cadets would be able to achieve something and fight for them, they also knew that reality was not so simple. Additionally, Luo Lang had looked incredibly thin and weak, so they had not held much hope from the start. Unexpectedly, that picturesque youth on the arena was actually so impressive, fighting so fiercely from the start, suppressing the opponent for a time... could it be that the New Cadet Regiment had arrogantly accepted the wager not because they were pretending to be tough, but because they actually had this kind of strength to begin with?
Hope rose in the hearts of these new cadets. If the New Cadet Regiment really won... they, the new cadets, would undoubtedly have a better place to go. Compared to those existing factions, the New Cadet Regiment, which was also a new cadet, would be more acceptable to them.
The spectating students thought so. Even on Leiting's side, many of their expressions changed slightly. After all, Qi Ya was their third strongest fighter. If he lost... the situation would be somewhat disadvantageous for Leiting.
Seeing this situation, one of the strongest fighters on Leiting's side quietly explained the situation to some of the people around him, and only then did those people reveal relaxed smiles.
"Luo Lang, still lacking a little." Ling Lan shook her head slightly and sighed.
