On the following day, Ji Canghai summoned his subordinates to the training ground and told them about the duel with Xiao Yu.

 

 

“Without using a mecha? Then what if we hurt Mr. Xiao?” Chief Instructor Yao Chengwang, who was confident in his combat prowess, asked: Everyone knew that the chief was deeply in love with Mr. Xiao, so how would they dare to get serious with Xiao Yu?

 

 

Ji Canghai looked towards Xiao Yu. There were some things he wasn’t at liberty to say, and according to his wishes, it would be best if no one was allowed to hurt Xiao Yu. But then, this sparring session would be meaningless, and the little mermaid wouldn’t be able to truly improve. All combat skills had to be tested in real battles. If Xiao Yu wanted to become stronger, he had to be challenged again and again.

 

 

As a boyfriend, all he could do was let him grow.

 

 

Xiao Yu understood and said, “It’s common to get injured during training, so just think of me as an opponent to be defeated. Besides, we won’t use weapons, so even if we are injured, we can be cured with a healing device.”

 

 

Ji Canghai followed Xiao Yu’s lead and said, “Everyone, there is no need to hold back; Yao Chengwang, you’re the first.”

 

 

Yao Chengwang and Xiao Yu stayed on the training platform, while the others went up to the viewing gallery.

 

 

“Chief, Mr. Xiao, he…” Liu Yilian was still a little worried, although she had seen Xiao Yu training, Ji Canghai had trained Xiao Yu, mostly with physical training, and they seldom practiced in actual combat.

 

 

On the other hand, Yao Chengwang, as the chief instructor of the Independent Army, had always done the training of new recruits, so one could imagine how strong his combat strength was.

 

 

Ji Canghai’s expression remained unchanged; his gaze was calm and gentle, with only the man on the field in his eyes.

 

 

“This is the fastest way to improve his ability to fight,” he said slowly. “Isn’t that how we all got here? Xiao Yu is no different from us; he’s also looking forward to this moment.”

 

 

 

On the field, Xiao Yu and Yao Chengwang exchanged greetings and then quickly entered the battle.

 

 

Xiao Yu looked at the tall man in front of him and decided to take the lead and test the waters. He powered up on his feet, followed by the inertia of his forward charge, and swung a flat, unimpressive punch at his opponent.

 

 

It was easily blocked by the other party.

 

 

 

“Mr. Xiao, if you don’t use some strength, it will be difficult for me.” Yao Chengwang clenched his fists. “The chief shouldn’t have put me first; if this sparring session ends too quickly, neither of us will be able to keep our faces up. How about this? How about we stall for time with a few more moves?”

 

 

Xiao Yu slightly frowned. That punch was just a test; he didn’t use much strength, and the other party easily receiving it was also within his expectations.

 

 

In Yao Chengwang’s eyes, it became a sign of his weakness, and he even blurted out that he wanted to play a fake match with him.

 

 

“You’re right, our sparring session will end very quickly.” Xiao Yu moved his five fingers, his eyes full of battle intent, and said, “There’s no point in wasting time; let’s fight quickly.”

 

 

Yao Chengwang saw Xiao Yu charging towards him, thinking that it was still at the same level as the punch he had just thrown. He simply crossed his arms to block, as he had done earlier.

 

 

However, he didn’t expect that Xiao Yu’s fist suddenly turned a corner and switched from a straight punch to an uppercut as he rushed towards him.

 

 

His haste to block caused his face to be wide open, and Xiao Yu caught the opportunity to do a flip and ruthlessly slammed his knee into his face.

 

 

There were many different types of boxing, and there were various rules for professional matches, but the conditions for victory were the same, which was to avoid the opponent’s attacks and at the same time hit them back violently.

 

 

Of course, Xiao Yu knew more than just boxing, like Shotokan, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and so on, as the coach had taught him; it was just that he was the most talented and more specialized in boxing.

 

 

This sparring match was supposed to be a simple boxing competition, so he naturally had to attack his opponent in the most effective way.

 

 

 

Xiao Yu wasn’t satisfied with his immediate advantage, and while Yao Chengwang hadn’t yet adjusted, he threw another straight punch to the opponent’s abdomen, connecting with a sweeping leg to make the opponent lose his balance, and finally landed a heavy punch that hovered in front of Yao Chengwang’s eyes.

 

 

Yao Chengwang was lying on the ground. Seeing Xiao Yu’s fist getting closer and closer, he subconsciously closed his eyes.

 

 

 

A gust of fist wind brushed past, but the expected pain didn’t appear, and when he opened his eyes in confusion, he heard Xiao Yu’s slightly panting voice above him.

 

 

“You lost.”

 

 

I, lost?

 

 

Yao Chengwang was stunned and subconsciously retorted, “How can that be? I haven’t even fought back; I haven’t even counterattacked.”

 

 

“You think you still have room to fight back?” The corner of Xiao Yu’s mouth rose slightly, his tone wanton.

 

 

Yao Chengwang was dumbfounded; yes, apart from the first punch, which he blocked, the moves after that, he took them hard. It wasn’t that he didn’t fight back, but he didn’t have the chance to fight back. Xiao Yu’s attacks were airtight and flawless; he simply couldn’t find a chance to counterattack.

 

 

From the moment he was hit with the first punch, this match was already over.

 

 

 

“I have lost.”

 

 

 

Without waiting for Yao Chengwang to finish, Xiao Yu waved his hand in Ji Canghai’s direction and said, “Next!”

 

 

 

A flash of infatuation crossed Ji Canghai’s eyes. He liked the little mermaid who relied on him, and he also liked the spirited Xiao Yu on the field. As long as he was Xiao Yu, no matter what, he liked him.

 

 

His gaze swept over the downcast Yao Chengwang before he turned to Xue Qingping and said, “Old Xue, you go.”

 

 

Xue Qingping was already a militant and immediately agreed upon hearing this: “No problem; if I get beaten up by Mr. Xiao, remember to reimburse me for the medical bills!”

 

 

Wu Mingzhi was checking the injuries of Yao Chengwang who had returned, and rolled his eyes at his words, “Don’t worry, you won’t die.”

 

 

“A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory.” Xue Qingping retorted and walked towards the training ground.

 

[TN: idom. Nice words won’t come from a bad source.]

 

 

The crowd had numb expressions because they were already being used to it; it hadn’t been a day or two since Old Xue and Dr. Wu didn’t get along with each other; everyone got used to it a long time ago. They were more curious about how on earth Yao Chengwang lost to Xiao Yu. Before Yao Chengwang took the field, few of them thought that it would end this way.

 

 

But looking at Old Yao’s disheveled face, the crowd looked at each other. Forget it; it was better to ask in private when they had the chance.

 

 

“Gullibility is the root cause of his one-round defeat.” Ji Canghai was very dissatisfied with Yao Chengwang’s performance; whether it was his arrogance or his combat prowess, he wasn’t worthy of the position of Chief Instructor. “I hope that this is the first and last time. If it were on the battlefield just now, if Xiao Yu had a weapon in his hand, you would be a corpse right now.”

 

 

Yao Chengwang bent his head even lower in response: “I was wrong; I’ve disgraced the Independent Army.”

 

 

“No harm done.” Ji Canghai was well versed in the principle of giving a sweet date with a stick. “It’s not considered a disgrace to the Independent Army; after all, Xiao Yu is also one of our own. It’s much better to find problems internally than to have problems in the future. Raise your head up; as the Chief Teacher of the Independence Army, even if you lose, you have to face defeat with honor and your head held high. Take a good look at just what it is that makes Xiao Yu superior to you.”

 

 

Yao Chengwang nodded. He was able to step by step reach this position today and become a member of the Independent Army’s top echelon, so his heart was naturally tough enough.

 

 

After receiving Ji Canghai’s point, he quickly detached himself from his disheveled state and looked at the two people on the field with a burning gaze.

 

 

“Boss, did you already know that Chief Teacher Yao was no match for Brother Xiao?” Yang Yongning came over to Ji Canghai’s side and muttered in a low voice. He was a person who couldn’t hide anything, and he always asked when he had something to say.

 

 

Ji Canghai smiled noncommittally. “Do you think I look like someone who would take a subordinate to please Xiao Wu?”

 

 

Yang Yongning blinked in confusion.

 

 

Didn’t it look like that?

 

 

On the training ground, Xiao Yu saw that the visitor was a familiar face and had a wider smile on his face. “Mr. Xue, please enlighten me.”

 

 

 

Xue Qingping laughed. “You’re welcome; I dare not speak of giving advice; Mr. Xiao has deeply hidden skills, so be merciful.”

 

 

 

The two men exchanged a few polite words, and the battle began.

 

 

 

Xiao Yu still knew Xue Qingping fairly well, which was mostly his early experience. He was a rubbish star and had suffered a lot to make a living, and although his body wasn’t as robust as Yao Chengwang’s, it was visibly sturdy. The veins of the blo*od vessels on his arms were clearly visible when he exerted a little bit of force on them, which was a sign of less subcutaneous fat, and he was sure that the other party’s body fat rate should be horribly low.

 

 

For such a person, one must be careful when fighting him because the other party’s willpower was strong enough that if one gave the other party the slightest chance, it was possible that the whole thing would be lost.

 

 

Xiao Yu gathered his energy and concentrated on the enemy in front of him as he searched for the best time to attack.

 

 

It just so happened that his opponent was thinking the same thing, which made it seem to the spectators that the two had been circling around and were hesitant to get to the point.

 

 

Xiao Yu knew that his opponent didn’t lack patience, and it wasn’t an option to keep spending time, so he took the initiative.

 

 

It was the same assisted run and straight punch, and it was just as uneventful as the first strike he had just launched at Yao Chengwang.

 

 

Xue Qingping had previously watched the entire process of Xiao Yu and Chief Teacher Yao’s sparring session from the viewing platform, and he laughed in his mind that little Mr. Xiao was really cute; the same move wouldn’t work the second time he used it, and without much thought, he was ready to receive Xiao Yu’s punch and prepare to take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack.

 

 

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu’s punch was just a front; it seemed to be mediocre, but in reality, it was a hidden mystery. The peaks of his fists bulged with the grip, his waist and calves moved at the same time, and he used all his strength in this strike.

 

 

Xue Qingping’s simple block was simply unable to stop such an aggressive punch; his fist deflected his arm, and the remaining force struck his chest, shockingly pushing him several steps.

 

 

The feeling of the peak of the fist hitting the flesh wasn’t pleasant. Xue Qingping covered his chest, and his eyes went dark. Before he could calm down from the severe pain, Xiao Yu’s attack arrived again.

 

 

Frightened, he hurriedly waved his hands. “No more fighting, no more fighting; I admit defeat!”

 

 

Xiao Yu decisively withdrew his hand and said, “Understood!”

 

 

The audience was even more silent; everyone didn’t know what had happened. Xue Qingping was such a tolerant person; how could he admit defeat after being punched? Was it possible that there was something shady going on here?

 

 

Only a few people could see the clues.

 

 

Yao Chengwang said thoughtfully, ”This punch looks similar to when I fought with Mr. Xiao, but in reality it’s very different. Mr. Xiao didn’t use a straight punch when he attacked; he purposely bent his fist slightly so that the bones on the back of his hand could be revealed. It looked like a punch was hitting Old Xue, but in reality, only the palm bones were receiving the force. No wonder Old Xue conceded defeat after this punch; it seems that Old Xue was badly injured.”

 

 

Ji Canghai nodded approvingly. “The smaller the area under force, the greater the pressure. Xiao Yu took advantage of this and broke through Xue Qingping’s defenses with a single punch. Well, originally, I wanted you guys to spar with Xiao Yu so that Xiao Yu could learn from you, but how come he’s beating you up instead? The sparring ends here; if you continue to fight, I’m afraid that the Independent Army’s face won’t be able to hang on.”

 

Crowd: “……”

 

Isn’t it because your boyfriend is too strong? Can you blame us for that?
