The field was deathly silent. The officers looked at this scene in disbelief. Some of them had thought that Instructor Xu's close combat ability would be extremely strong, which was why they had agreed to this kind of challenge. However, they could never have imagined that Hua Xiaosi, as an expert of the West Woods military district, would not even be able to withstand a single blow from Xu Le. After a series of breezes and drizzles, he was beaten into a stiff stick by Xu Le and fell from the air to the ground.
Even if it had been a little longer, the officers would have been able to accept this kind of situation easily. However, they only heard a series of muffled sounds that sounded like raindrops hitting sand. Hua Xiaosi retreated miserably, and then the instructor kicked … Hua Xiaosi flew up and fell down!
They could see that Instructor Little Xu seemed to be using the close combat techniques of the military, but it was extremely different in some aspects, especially the feeling when he attacked. Whether it was extending his elbow, knee, or entering the body, each of his actions was clean and efficient, but also extremely fast. He launched with a flick, retracted with a touch. He did not fully extend, but his speed was displayed to the extreme.
This kind of close combat method always made the audience feel that Xu Le was like a girl who did not use his full strength. It was difficult for him to use his full strength, but the effect was exceptionally clear and powerful. The final result was so jaw-dropping.
He had knocked down Hua Xiaosi in a single exchange. This kind of close combat ability was a bit too strong. Looking at Xu Le, who was taking off his sunglasses, the officers' eyes finally began to show some kind of reverence and admiration, and also a bit of coldness.
The two officers with cold gazes looked at each other and frowned, as if they felt that this matter was a bit more difficult to handle. Meanwhile, the members of Team 7 at the periphery of the crowd had already stood up from the stone steps by the tree. With complicated gazes, they stared at Xu Le. At this time, they experienced the evaluation that Bai Yulan had once made, and more or less confirmed the fierceness of their future direct superior.
Xu Le took off his sunglasses and reached out to pull up Hua Xiaosi on the ground. Earlier, when he attacked, he did not use even a sliver of the true power in his body. He completely relied on the ten postures that were soaked into his bones and the battle instincts he had forged over the years. It was not difficult to defeat the opponent, but he did not cause any real damage to the opponent.
"If you can beat me one day, you can try using the mecha again." He said with a smile. The thought of not having to get on the mecha to reveal that he was not as strong as Madman Li made him feel very gratified.
Hua Xiaosi propped up his upper body and spat out a mouthful of sand and sand. He hatefully said, "I underestimated the enemy. Otherwise, I would have been able to hold on a little longer."
Soldiers were simple and direct. A loss was a loss. Hua Xiaosi did not plan on persevering. It was just that he kept feeling that he had been knocked out of his head by the instructor's nagging combat skills. Otherwise, he would have been able to persevere for a while longer.
However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw Xu Le's extremely sincere smile. His words could not help but stop abruptly. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Instructor Little Xu's face without the sunglasses was so amiable with a smile, as if he did not look as hateful as before …
No one knew that during the two months in the training base, Xu Le had been wearing sunglasses on his nose to hide his smiling, amiable, and harmless eyes. In order to play the role of a cold instructor, he could press the corners of his lips into a sheet of frost, but he still could not do anything about this pair of eyes.
After Hua Xiaosi shook his head and returned to the crowd, Xu Le swept his gaze over the officers around him and said with a smile, "Who else?"
No one answered. Although some of the officers believed that their close combat abilities were much stronger than Hua Xiaosi's, when faced with Instructor Xu's seemingly chaotic but actually extremely incisive combat skills, they did not have much confidence in winning. More importantly, at this moment, as they looked at Instructor Xu's smiling face and thought about their mecha lessons these past few days, their hearts calmed somewhat. Just like Hua Xiaosi, that urge to vent his anger that had been somewhat childish to begin with gradually faded away.
In the midst of the silence, someone suddenly said in a low voice, "Can it be 2v1?"
Xu Le looked over with some confusion.
…
…
To everyone's surprise, after Xu Le had displayed his close combat prowess, the officers who had still stepped forward to issue a challenge were from the 3rd Military Region. They were precisely the two people who had been sizing up Xu Le with cold gazes earlier. Perhaps they were very confident in their combat prowess, but strangely, for some reason, they seemed to be constantly looking for a chance to attack Xu Le directly.
The officers frowned, thinking to themselves that even with their military ranks, they were not real cadets. Challenging a little instructor and losing was already embarrassing enough, what more when it was 2v1. However, when they recognised these two officers, the words they had been about to say turned into ice and snow stuck in their mouths at the same time. The field was silent.
The two officers who had stepped forward to issue the challenge had been abnormally quiet and dutiful in the past half year at the base, but in reality, they were particularly eye-catching because these two belonged to the 3rd Military Region's trump card, the Iron Seventh Division.
Every time they thought of the Federal military's most dazzling, yet coldest, young instructor, no one was willing to provoke them, even if the training officers were all geniuses in the military. Everyone knew how cold and heartless that Instructor Du was, yet he was an extremely protective person. If they were able to fight under this kind of commanding officer, it would undoubtedly be the most exciting and happiest thing. However, becoming enemies with the officers under him was definitely an unwise move.
Xu Le's eyes gradually narrowed as he quietly watched the two officers walk out from the crowd. Relying on the ability to see through people's hearts that Uncle Feng Yu greatly admired, he could clearly sense the cold and severe intent hidden under these two officers' ordinary faces. Unlike Hua Xiaosi and the others who challenged him to vent their anger, these two officers clearly had other intentions.
One of the officers said coldly, "We are cadets. We want to ask for guidance from Instructor Xiao Xu. Please agree."
Xu Le was slightly taken aback. He used his hand to comb through his slightly messy hair and tossed the sunglasses in his hand to Zhou Yu. Then, when he raised his right hand and was about to say something, he found that he couldn't seem to find any reason to refuse this challenge.
"What are your names?" He wasn't clear about the origins of these two officers.
"Chang One, Chang Two." The two officers replied in a low voice at the same time. "The instructor gave us codenames. From the day we entered the military, until the day we retire, we only have codenames."
"What instructor?"
"The 3rd Military Region's Iron Seventh Division."
Xu Le had never heard of the Iron Seventh Division, so he naturally didn't know that the instructor was such an untouchable and powerful figure. He only sank into deep confusion. He had never been to S3 and had even less of an interaction with the 3rd Military Region, so why were these two officers in front of him like fierce tigers filled with killing intent towards him?
The two officers stood on the left and right. Suddenly, they took a deep breath, and all the joints on their bodies started to crackle. What was shocking was that their bodies seemed to swell up along with the crackling sounds, and their uniforms were extremely tight.
When the surrounding crowd saw this, they subconsciously expanded their area. Including Hua Xiaosi, all the officers stared at the field with suspicion and vigilance. They knew very well that the two officers who came out to challenge Xu Le were ranked at the top of the list for close combat in this assessment, and the 3rd Military Region's Iron Seventh Division was also an ace troop that was famous for its close combat ferocity.
What kind of level did the special forces personally train by such an instructor have? Not to mention, the current state of the two Iron Seventh Division officers showed meant that they had once learned some kind of technique in the training hall. With these two officers attacking one, would Instructor Xiao Xu be able to hold on?
Everyone felt a sense of danger pervading the field. Right now, there was no commanding officer or military police present, but presumably these two officers wouldn't dare to make a move. But for some reason, everyone felt that something dangerous was about to happen.
The members of the Seventh Division on the periphery had already stood up. They were all skilled soldiers in the forest and could faintly smell the scent of blood. In particular, Xiong Linquan's pupils constricted slightly. Thinking of Bai Yulan's instructions on the sickbed, his palm subconsciously moved to the bottom of the stone steps and applied a bit of force.
…
…
At this time, Xu Le was still thinking about where the gloominess and hatred in the eyes of the two officers came from. He lowered his head and was silent, his mind wandering. However, before his mind could calm down, a strong wind rushed toward his face.
Chang One and Chang Two, these two Iron Seventh Division close combat experts, stomped their thick soled military boots on the solid surface of the field. The ground trembled slightly, and two wisps of light smoke rose into the air. The two of them were like fierce tigers leaping down from a cliff. In an instant, they closed the distance between them and Xu Le and attacked him, who had his head lowered in thought.
One of them punched toward Xu Le's chin, while the other moved close to his body and raised his knee to attack the base of his thigh. The attack was extremely ruthless, and the wind whistled as it broke through the air.
This might have been a sneak attack, and it might have been somewhat shameless, but with the challenge before them, Xu Le acquiesced. These two officers of the Iron Seventh Division would always be able to find some excuse afterward. Furthermore, with the arrow on the bow and the fist in front of them, regardless of whether it was the audience or the person involved, they could only watch as this scene unfolded.
Xu Le suddenly raised his head, and a trace of anger flashed through his slightly narrowed eyes. His anger wasn't because of the sinister and vicious attacks of the officers, but because he still didn't understand why they hated him.
In a flash, his state of mind was as steady as a rock. Just like in the countless dangerous moments in the past, he calmly took a step forward. His body was like a nail nailed to the ground. At the same time, he flipped his left hand and grabbed Chang One's wrist, who was attacking his chin. His right leg swung to the right and slapped the inside of Chang Two's knee with the outer edge of his thigh.
If he had been dealing with an ordinary person, with the reaction speed and skill he displayed at this moment, this would have been a perfect response. According to the usual development of close-range combat, Xu Le would have closed in on his opponent again and used his iron shoulder to push one of them away. At the same time, his left hand would follow the opponent's elbow joint and stab the other person's armpit. One punch would numb the opponent's blood and make him unable to continue fighting.
However, what Xu Le did not expect was that although his left hand grabbed Chang One's wrist, what his fingertips touched was like an old tree root. In particular, the fine muscles on Chang One's wrist suddenly tightened and jumped horizontally, like the skin of an old tree root bursting. This made his three fingers unable to wedge into the other's muscle fibers. And when he leaned violently to the right, it was like leaning against a thick wall. Not only did he not push the other away, but he also exposed his right rib to Chang Two's attack.
Xu Le would never underestimate any of his enemies, but he didn't treat these two officers as irreconcilable enemies. He hadn't used a single vicious move, hadn't mobilized a single strand of the violent power in his body, yet in the end, he had lost the initiative.
The two officers of the Iron Seventh Division did not let go of this opportunity. A cold light flashed in their eyes as they attacked Xu Le's vital points.
With two muffled sounds, the three people on the field quickly blocked a few times. Like three shadows, the shadows turned into concrete bodies in an instant. The situation on the field had changed completely.
The two officers of the Third Military Region had broken through Xu Le's defense and used the exact same method to get close to him. They grabbed his wrist with one hand and blocked under his armpit with the other, waiting for the right moment to exert force. This was the most vicious close-range combat technique, the anti-joint technique!
If these two officers were allowed to unleash their full strength, even if Xu Le's shoulder joint was still intact, the cartilage in his elbow would definitely shatter into pieces!
The two officers of the Iron Seventh Division did not immediately press down on Xu Le. They just maintained this posture, as if they wanted to show the surrounding officers what would happen if Xu Le was defeated. They looked coldly at Xu Le's face, who was right in front of them. They were not worried that Xu Le would be able to win because no matter how big the difference in strength between the two sides was, they already had the absolute advantage. Using the simplest lever theory in physics, Xu Le, whose arms were blocked, was unable to exert any force at all.
The spectating officers had felt a strange sense of danger when the challenge started. However, when they saw that the two of them had defeated Instructor Xiao Xu in one fell swoop, they thought that even though the two of them were Iron Seventh Master's ice men, they still wouldn't dare to hurt an instructor as students. Thus, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Only Xiong Linquan, who was standing at the edge of the crowd, had the coldness in his eyes getting deeper and deeper. His five fingers that were grabbing onto the stone steps behind him started to exert force. His knuckles turned white, and he was actually able to lift the stone steps that weighed dozens of kilograms by an inch.
The atmosphere was very silent, very strange, and very awkward. As an instructor, Xu Le was completely controlled by two students. Although he was younger than these officers and had no experience in the military, nor did he have a record of killing people, he was still an instructor. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little humiliated.
"Instructor said that strength is strength when speed is multiplied by strength. The limit of an individual's strength is constant. "
Chang Yi looked at his face that was close by, and his eyes were full of ridicule and indifference. He said in a lecturing tone, "The faster the speed, the lighter the strength of the punch. You're just playing with fancy moves, but we, the people of the Iron Seventh Division, are not as weak as those guys."
Both of his arms were blocked, and his joints were restrained. Human physiology and basic physics confirmed that Xu Le was completely restrained, so this Iron Seventh Division officer was in the mood to appreciate his failure and ridicule his incompetence.
"I admit defeat," Xu Le said directly with a smile. He wasn't obsessed with winning or losing. On the contrary, he was obsessed with the opponent's hatred for him, and he really wanted to know how far the Iron Seventh Division officer wanted to go.
The officer didn't expect Xu Le to admit defeat so easily. After a slight pause, he said fiercely, "I … don't accept."
"You're an instructor. If we kill you, we'll definitely have to go to military court. But I think if we just break your arms, there shouldn't be too much of a problem." His eyes were cold and ruthless. He said in a low voice, "In close combat, there are often accidental injuries like this, right?"
The conversation in the field was very low and fast, so the officers in the crowd didn't hear it at all. They wondered why Instructor Xiao Xu still didn't admit defeat.
Xu Le was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Since it's revenge, let me know the reason. Then I'll feel better, right?"
"Park Ji Ho is someone that the Iron Seventh Division wants." Chang Yi said coldly, "I'm from the same yard as him."
Xu Le raised his head, an indescribable emotion flashing through his eyes.
Almost at the same time, the two Iron Seventh Division officers' eyes flashed fiercely. Their muscles tightened, and they clamped their arms around his elbow joint, pressing down hard!
…
…
Not all the people in the crowd were combat experts, but as outstanding officers that the Federation focused on grooming, they definitely had a sharp and accurate eye. When the two Iron Seventh Division officers lowered their shoulders and crossed their legs, at least half of the people in the crowd could see what they were going to do next.
It was just a very common camp challenge. The winner was already decided, but who would've thought that it wasn't over yet? In these past two months, the officers had hated MX Mecha Class to the core. However, after passing the assessment, they no longer hated Instructor Little Xu for wearing sunglasses and pretending to be cool. Deeply educated in discipline and self-control, they knew very well that upholding the original challenge agreement today was more of a tradition of steel in the military camp.
In some ways, this was just a game between men. But these two people from the Iron Seventh Division were actually going to break Instructor Xiao Xu's arm in front of everyone on the field!
Could it be that the soldiers raised by Commander Du of the Iron Seventh Division were so cold and cruel that they weren't even afraid of the military law? Or could it be that because they had the Iron Seventh Division as their backing, they didn't care about the military law at all?
In the midst of the shock, Lan Xiaolong and Zhou Yu's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately started to move. But there was one person who reacted faster than them.
Outside the crowd, there was a crisp sound as the stone steps were lifted up by someone. Xiong Linquan roared as he held the heavy concrete steps with both hands. Like a deity, he shook the crowd and rushed over before the other two. He valiantly smashed the stone steps down!
…
…
With a muffled boom, the heavy concrete steps smashed into the ground, creating a crater! In the blink of an eye, the stone steps, which weighed who knew how many kilograms, were shattered by the huge force. Debris flew everywhere, and dust flew everywhere.
However, Xiong Linquan, who had rushed over like a god, spread out his hands and stared blankly at where the stone steps had landed. He blinked in shock, and didn't feel that the web between his thumb and index finger had been split open and was bleeding. There was a suffocating silence in the field, because his thunderous attack … missed.
Three meters before the stone steps landed, the three people who were tangled up with each other still maintained their previous postures, as if they hadn't moved at all.
The only reason they were able to dodge this terrifying attack was because at the last moment, someone still had the strength to force the other two people to take three steps back.
There was only one person who could do this.
The pupils of the two Iron Seventh Division officers shrank as they stared at Xu Le's face in horror. When they attacked with all their might, they found that Xu Le's arm didn't break as they had imagined. It didn't even bend. This completely violated the physiological structure and physics of the human body. Xu Le's arm seemed to be cast from iron!
Xu Le's eyes were unusually bright. He looked at them and said sincerely, "After you get out of the hospital, tell your teacher that his reasoning … is bullshit to me. I'm fast enough, and I'm strong enough."
