Chapter 249: Chapter 29 Pretending to be a Pig to Eat a Tiger

Shao Changfeng raised his fist and walked up to Huang Xin, "Come on! Let’s spar a bit!"

Huang Xin had a look of disdain, but the next second Shao Changfeng pulled him directly onto the training field and pinned him to the grass with a grasping technique.

Huang Xin’s face instantly turned black with anger, not expecting Shao Changfeng to actually be serious.

Unwilling to accept defeat, he fought back, his moves and strength not to be underestimated.

Shao Changfeng swiftly dodged Huang Xin’s attacks and held admiration for him - from the first exchange, he could feel the depth of his opponent’s skill.

Huang Xin was indeed an exceptional master, even more formidable than he used to be. But compared to his present self, they were simply not at the same level.

The cultivation technique taught by Gu Xiaoxi was no child’s play.

"Being a disciple to a woman, aren’t you ashamed," Huang Xin sneered with his fists clenched, "Today, I’ll show you what being formidable truly means."

It could be said that within this military unit, he was among the elite.

Whether it was combat or physical fitness, he was one of the strongest.

As for beating Shao Changfeng, the newcomer, he was full of confidence.

At that moment, the male soldiers who had seen the notice and were boiling with excitement, all gathered around the two.

"Huang Xin teaching a lesson to the rookie!"

"Huang Xin beat him, take down Gu Xiaoxi!"

"Go Huang Xin!"

There were plenty of cheers of encouragement, and some were just there for the spectacle, instigating the situation.

The men in the military had hot blood and a competitive spirit, all wanting to show off in front of the girls and catch the attention of the Goddess.

Huang Xin might not have a Goddess, but he didn’t want to be looked down upon by Gu Xiaoxi.

If he couldn’t even beat Shao Changfeng, he reckoned Gu Xiaoxi would look down on him even more.

So, he didn’t hesitate to use all his strength to attack Shao Changfeng.

Shao Changfeng circulated his Inner Strength; his palms stirring up a fierce wind, he sparred with Huang Xin with a force imperceptible to the naked eye.

Without any effort, Shao Changfeng sent Huang Xin flying with just three moves.

The audience was in an uproar, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Shao Changfeng had actually sent Huang Xin flying. Just three moves, and before they could react, Huang Xin was defeated.

Shao Changfeng’s moves were simple, barely any flair to them.

Huang Xin fell onto the grass, clutching his chest and coughing violently. He felt as if his chest was blocked by a suffocating current, and it took him a long while to catch his breath.

Looking at Shao Changfeng in shock, he clutched his chest, "You have Inner Strength?"

"Is that so surprising? Not only me, Zhao Zilong has it too!" Shao Changfeng said casually. And Zhao Zilong was even more formidable than him.

The two of them had always been low-key, so they didn’t mind being taken advantage of by those who didn’t know any better.

But, if they thought they could squeeze them like soft persimmons, sorry, they were just like Gu Xiaoxi, not the kind to be trifled with.

Huang Xin struggled to get up from the ground, staggering a few steps before being supported by several comrades, his mind in turmoil.

If Shao Changfeng acknowledged Gu Xiaoxi as his master, then this Inner Strength must have been taught by her. That’s why Gu Xiaoxi had never taken him seriously from the start... there was a reason for it!

Thinking it through, from the very encounter with Flying Tiger, she had been merciful with her moves.

This woman, pretending to be weak to entrap him, played him for a fool. That was going too far.

"Shall we continue sparring?" Shao Changfeng asked nonchalantly. Spending time with Gu Xiaoxi had made him concise and decisive in his dealings.

He still remembered the first time he met Gu Xiaoxi.

Back then, she was asleep on the branch of a large tree, thinking they wouldn’t be able to see her.

But little did she expect that they would locate her instantly using a thermal imager.

Zhong Ming fired a shot at the trunk behind her, jolting her awake. She fell from the tree into the bushes, thoroughly shaken.

Just when they thought she was just a mischievous, disobedient little girl, she managed to escape in front of fifty people with a clever trick.

Infuriating, indeed!

However, when Shao Changfeng reflected on it later, he only felt that he had been too naive, tricked by a seemingly harmless young girl. He couldn’t even find a reason to defend himself against the claim that their abilities were insufficient, for it was the truth.

He now understood why the higher-ups had decided to disband them directly. Indeed, they had not been vigilant enough, and the mission had failed.

If she had been the enemy, their underestimation could have led to a mistake that was irreversible.

So, the lesson from this experience could be said to be quite profound.

The first time they met, Gu Xiaoxi gave them a lesson they would detest but never forget, one that would stay with them for life.

Huang Xin clutched his chest and bowed his head, filled with regret. He had just made a wager with Gu Xiaoxi, and as soon as he turned around, he realized his mistake.

Perhaps he didn’t even need to wait for the day she would enter the world championships; starting from tomorrow, he would have to confess his failures to the national flag.

People often act impulsively, seeking momentary satisfaction from their rashness, but in the end, they have to pay the price.

"I admit defeat!" Huang Xin stood up and gave Shao Changfeng a military salute, as a way to peacefully resolve the conflict.

Shao Changfeng returned the salute and then said to everyone with an indifferent tone, "If anyone else wishes to spar with me, I am at your service at any time."

"..." Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

If Huang Xin couldn’t defeat him, who among them could?

Envy, jealousy, and hatred filled them—Shao Changfeng was actually Gu Xiaoxi’s disciple.

How formidable Gu Xiaoxi must be.

The men who secretly adored Gu Xiaoxi were each in low spirits, their chances of confessing not even forthcoming before Shao Changfeng’s blow sent them plummeting into a pit of despair.

If one couldn’t win over a woman in a match, wouldn’t it be a loss of face?

The men’s faces turned ashen, their little hearts shattered.

Gao Yitian watched Shao Changfeng and Zhao Zilong through binoculars from a distance, shaking his head in pity.

The instructor, not understanding, asked, "What are you shaking your head for, Commander? These two newcomers are very impressive—it’s a future resource for us."

"You don’t get it. If they become too strong, they won’t belong to us anymore," Gao Yitian lamented, not because they weren’t strong enough, but because they were too strong. This unit would ultimately not be able to retain them.

The instructor had no response. He had to admit that Gao Yitian was right.

The true powerhouses belonged only to the strongest units.

No matter how much they were admired, they couldn’t be kept.

"Train them well! Isn’t the logistics unit all about nurturing good soldiers for the front line? If he can emerge from our team, it will bring honor to the entire unit in the future," Gao Yitian said earnestly.

The instructor saluted and nodded, "About Gu Xiaoxi asking for leave daily at six in the evening to take Xiao Xiao out of the unit. Is that appropriate?"

"What’s inappropriate about that. Spare me the questions and don’t speculate on where she goes. You have to believe that Gu Xiaoxi can definitely make it to the world championships. As for whether she can place in the event, none of us can predict the outcome," Gao Yitian said. The last time Young Master Quan personally came to pick up Gu Xiaoxi, he had seen it clearly.

There was an extraordinary relationship between the two; Gu Xiaoxi not being in the unit at night meant she was definitely with him.

Given Gu Xiaoxi’s character, her not taking advantage of the world championships to make her mark would be uncharacteristic. So, putting pieces together, one could understand why Gu Xiaoxi was asking for leave at night.

"Gu Xiaoxi recommended a female soldier named Yun Xiao; should we transfer her here?" the instructor asked.

"Let’s bring her over. According to my research, her physical fitness and response capabilities are quite good. Her only issue is a communication barrier, but she interacts very well with animals. Such a person might be suited to be a dog trainer," Gao Yitian said.

The instructor thought for a moment, then nodded and left.

Gu Xiaoxi left the unit on time at six in the evening with Xiao Xiao, and Young Master Quan’s car was waiting at the crossroads.

This time, it was Lin Shu driving the car, not Young Master Quan himself.

Gu Xiaoxi walked up with a smile to greet Lin Shu, feeling an emptiness in her heart for not seeing Young Master Quan. The thought of him being out on a mission left her heart suspended in midair, unable to find peace.

Lin Shu was a gentle woman who had been in the military and had her moments of glory, but now... she was just a woman, an aunt, a homemaker.

She was kind and polite to Gu Xiaoxi, caring in a respectful manner, and also a strict teacher.

She was very serious when teaching Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi studied diligently under her.

She never asked why Lin Shu, nearing forty, was still single. Nor did she inquire why she would come here to do housework for Young Master Quan and be a homemaker.

For this newly acquainted aunt, she held great respect and fondness.
