Chapter 99: Chapter 32: I’m talking about defeating you!

The party began with performances, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively.

Gu Xiaoxi also met the top ten fighters of the Fourth Company.

The top three, Zhao Zilong and Luo Chen, were two men with sturdy builds and honest faces. Judging from their footsteps, they were steady and powerful, undoubtedly skilled with a stable stance.

The third, Li Jing, was a female soldier. At a height of 170, she was almost as tall as Gu Xiaoxi, but her complexion was fair, giving off a slightly frail appearance. Compared to Gu Xiaoxi, she lacked a bit of Spiritual Energy and vitality.

When the party ended, there was also a barbecue buffet, served with beer.

Because the top ten warriors brought glory to the team during the competition, the leaders rewarded everyone with the freedom to party wildly all night.

In contrast to the formality of the party, the barbecue and beer on the open ground seemed particularly indulgent.

Especially the ten lauded fighters, who were endlessly toasted and praised.

Soon, the aroma of roasting meat filled the air and the scent of beer drifted for miles.

The rookies also benefited from the veterans’ glory, sitting in a corner to barbecue for themselves.

Two grills naturally split into Gu Xiaoxi’s and Zhang Jingyue’s groups.

Among them were both female and male soldiers.

Gu Xiaoxi idly poked the charcoals with a stick as she grilled chicken wings, while Song Jingyi was sweating profusely from the heat but grilled with exceptional joy.

For these soldiers, whose daily lives consisted of constant training and dull routines, such a reward was like being sent to heaven.

"Here, it’s done," Song Jingyi handed Gu Xiaoxi a chicken drumstick, her cheeks red and her pretty little face even more rosy and attractive.

Qin Chu also grabbed one to eat, and Li Chun came running over with a beer, followed by several male soldiers—all of whom usually didn’t see eye to eye with Zhang Jingyue and her clique of fans. These men got along quite well with Gu Xiaoxi, Song Jingyi, Qin Chu, and Li Chun.

They all gathered around a table, drinking beer to their hearts’ content.

Suddenly, the table where Zhang Jingyue was sitting burst into activity.

A handsome, tall man in dashing camouflage walked up to Zhang Jingyue with a beer and said with a smile, "Miss Zhang, I didn’t expect to see you again. We met before at D University. Afterward, you went abroad to study and I joined the military. Do you remember me? My name is Na Qi."

Zhang Jingyue smiled warmly, reaching out her hand to Na Qi, "Although I didn’t remember you before, I do now. I heard you’re Na Feng’s brother and a hero of our Fourth Company. Cheers to you."

"Then I won’t be polite. Miss Zhang, if you ever need help with anything, just ask me. I’ll spare no detail in assisting you," Na Qi said graciously, taking hold of Zhang Jingyue’s hand with an intense gaze.

Na Feng immediately withdrew her hand, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, but did not show it openly, simply smiling lightly, "Thank you for the concern!"

"Brother, don’t keep staring at her. It’ll make her uncomfortable," Na Feng, sensing Zhang Jingyue’s displeasure, immediately advised, "Brother, you and Jingyue are also from the same school, aren’t you?"

Her voice wasn’t low, and everyone around Gu Xiaoxi could hear it clearly.

Gu Xiaoxi was gnawing on her chicken wing, seemingly focused on the deliciousness between her lips and teeth.

Na Qi instinctively wanted to show off his heroic qualities in front of Zhang Jingyue.

"Who calls themselves Gu Xiaoxi?" he roared from beside Zhang Jingyue, his loud voice penetrating and instantly quieting the entire scene.

For a moment, the lively gathering fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The instructors and company commanders, who were hosting a banquet for the ten heroes, curiously put down their glasses and looked towards Na Qi.

Na Feng pointed towards Gu Xiaoxi, who was sitting unobtrusively at a table not far away, and said with a grin, "Brother, that’s her. She’s the strongest new female recruit we have. Even tougher than the men."

All eyes followed Na Feng’s gesture.

In the warm yellow light, a beautiful ’young man’ with short hair sat with a chicken leg propped against his cheek. At that moment, he had finished the meat, left holding only the bone.

As everyone watched, Gu Xiaoxi tossed the bone accurately into a nearby trash can with a flick of her wrist.

With their attention now on her, they could see her face clearly—delicate features, bright eyes, and white teeth, her dark pupils seemingly flickering with a Demonic allure.

When she looked up at the crowd, everyone collectively inhaled sharply. There was a suffocating coldness in her eyes, giving a faint, overwhelming aura.

Na Qi stared at Gu Xiaoxi, dumbfounded, not expecting her to have grown so beautiful. Especially the forbidding cold in her eyes, which held such deterrence that it complicated and mystified her entire aura.

"Brother, she’s the one who’s been bullying us," Na Feng said, pulling Na Qi’s attention when she saw his transfixed look, reminding him that Gu Xiaoxi was the enemy.

Na Qi snapped back to reality, his face darkening.

He couldn’t believe that for a moment, Gu Xiaoxi had dominated him. It was as if she exuded a kind of authority that made him unable to look away, as if subdued by her presence.

"Gu... Gu Xiaoxi... right? I heard you want to challenge us?" It took Na Qi a while to regain his composure and stammer out his words.

He had intended to intimidate Gu Xiaoxi right from the start, but instead, he had been intimidated by her.

Dusting off the nonexistent dirt from her uniform, Gu Xiaoxi pulled her military cap down on her head, lifted her chin, and looked at Na Qi. Her eyes shimmered as she declared, "What I said was, I’ll defeat you!"

She emphasized her words, her tone firm, like a gust of wind sweeping through the scene.

At that, everyone was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Gu Xiaoxi was famously tough, and all the veterans there knew it. But to think she could defeat Wu Gui and also defeat the top ten, how could that be?

Although Wu Gui was skilled, he was still at the bottom of the company’s top fighters.

"Haha! Since you’re so keen on defeating us, let’s take advantage of this great opportunity tonight and have a match, what do you say?" Na Qi said with a smile, quickly suppressing the astonishment he felt at Gu Xiaoxi’s stunning presence.

It was time to teach the overly ambitious rookie a harsh lesson. And Gu Xiaoxi had successfully angered him, making him determined to put her in her place.

That way, she’d understand that being somewhat skilled didn’t mean she could be too presumptuous.
