Chapter 182: In the 5th Military Region, It’s Still Not a Rookie’s Turn Yet to Throw a Tantrum (Part one)
Shame!
Thinking back to how they were lured and then immediately ambushed by Xu Cheng, who later baited them into stepping on mines, they truly felt like they were walked by Xu Cheng like dogs!
It was some next-level shame!
For the past few days, Hu Bing had been having trouble swallowing his anger, and plus what had just happened, there was really a kind of explosive force inside him that could not go away until vented. For the past 2 days, he didn’t even get to showcase what he was capable of and was already kicked out!
Moreover, for both times, he was eliminated by Xu Cheng’s hands, and both times, they were headshots!
That kind of feeling of wanting to prove oneself while the referee said the battle was already over really made him want to cough up blood!
It was unbearable, and he could no longer live with such shame!
Hu Bing angrily roared with bloodshot eyes, and he turned around and charged towards Xu Cheng.
“Old Xu, watch out!” Wei Yuan and the others shouted, all knowing that Hu Bing would rage out of embarrassment and went to vent on Xu Cheng.
The several tacticians and analysts saw the surveillance of Hu Bing charging towards Xu Cheng and they all jumped up in shock. “Head Instructor, this brat’s throwing a tantrum!”
Head Instructor: “Just let them fight. If he could get some sense beaten into him, it will be good for his future too. He needs to learn that in the army, the one with tougher fists can talk louder.”
Tactician: “I’m scared of him injuring Xu Cheng. For the past 2 days, Xu Cheng’s strategies had been on point, and I think letting him join the competition team is a very good choice, as his experience could make up for the lack of experience of the skilled rookies. After all, it’s always safer to have an experienced veteran on the team.”
Head Instructor: “No, I feel that Xu Cheng came back because he became stronger. I know him. Back then, his capabilities were significantly worsened by the genetic fluid injected but he was still stronger than a lot of people in the military, so I tried to convince him to stay. But, he’s the type that’s really strict with himself. If he didn’t become stronger, he wouldn’t have come back.”
In the screen, before Hu Bing could get to Xu Cheng, he was already pulled back by his teammates that were already out.
“Hu Bing, what are you doing?”
Although they lost, they were convinced by their defeat. They weren’t the type that would just stand back and watch someone be unreasonable. A defeat was acceptable, but they must not lose character too.
“Let me go!” Hu Bing was really annoyed. After pushing away his team, he glared at them. “You guys purposely lost, right? You all think I’m not pleasing to your eyes, right?”
“Are you done? We listened to your orders the entire time, how did we purposely lose? This is a training match! If we purposely lose and get kicked off of the team, who are we going to cry to? Who doesn’t want to go to the competition to prove our worth? But we lost, and that’s that. We lost to them, but we can learn from it. This isn’t the competition. It’s best to see reality right now, or it will be too late when we actually get eliminated at the competition, do you understand?”
After the past few days, Hu Bing’s teammate really couldn’t take it anymore and scolded him.
After Hu Bing heard these words, he calmed down a bit. Then, he walked towards Xu Cheng. His teammate tried to grab him back, but he shook him off.

He walked to Xu Cheng, looked into his eyes, and said, “Once you are facing 15 real elites, all of your tactics or camouflage would be crushed in the face of absolute power. Later on, when 36 armies are engaged in a chaotic battle, your little fortress won’t be able to survive in a free-for-all. By that time, the team will rely on individual aces to break through sieges. Do you understand?”
“I know,” Xu Cheng said indifferently, “I participated in three of those already, so I don’t need you to tell me what to do.”
Hu Bing began taking off his bulletproof vest and gloves as he said, “We lost, I accept it. But Xu Cheng, if you want to join our team with my permission, you only have one way, and that is to fight me once. Like I said, without personal strength, no matter how good you are at calculating and laying formations, it won’t help the team out much in a free-for-all. You will only be recognized if you have the combat capabilities yourself!”
Then, he backed up to about 5 meters in distance as he said to Xu Cheng, “Come, I know you are not as strong as before anymore, but here on my team, if you don’t have the skills, then you can’t join. There’s no way around it.”
“Hu Bing, don’t be so arrogant just because you can fight,” Wei Yuan scolded.
“You are wrong, Senior Wei Yuan. In the military, the strong are respected!” Hu Bing looked around and said, “I know you guys are not convinced by me because you are still blindly worshipping the Three Swordsmen, but today, I’m here to tell you that they are a thing of the past. Militaries don’t keep garbage around. If you want other people to be convinced, you need to show them what you are capable of!”
Xu Cheng pulled down his zipper and took off his bulletproof vest. With a tank top, he walked over. Since Hu Bing already said those words, if he still didn’t accept the challenge, then his temperament of an iron-blood soldier would basically have been fed to dogs.
“Old Xu!” Liao Shuhang was a bit worried. He heard Xu Cheng’s combat capabilities dropped drastically and that was why he left the military camp initially, so he was worried that Xu Cheng would get injured.
Hu Bing started learning martial arts since his youth, and when he was young, he was quite rebellious and often dwelled in underground boxing rings. Later on, he wanted to go to the military to achieve something big, so his family let him join the 5th Military Region. But, he was indeed talented in the combat area, or his family wouldn’t have allowed him to join the military instead of going into politics like the rest of the family.
If the higherup wanted to intervene, they would’ve broadcasted their warning already, but there was nothing, which meant that the fight between him and Hu Bing was inevitable. If that was the case, then he wasn’t going to back out. He stretched his wrists and walked towards Hu Bing, locking eyes.
Those rookies that were out all crawled up and walked over to spectate.
Hu Bing suddenly hurled a fist at Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng didn’t bother dodging at all as he just fiercely slapped back at it with his palm.
With a loud bang, the veins in Hu Bing’s entire arm popped out, and he almost dislocated his shoulder!
Such strength!
Hu Bing took a few steps back and looked up at Xu Cheng in shock.
Xu Cheng was all relaxed and calm as he lifted his chin and said, “Come on, aren’t you very angry with me? Show me your skills. Do you know how many years I’ve been here for? Today, I will also tell you, in the 5th Military Region, it’s still not a rookie’s turn yet to throw a tantrum!”
Hu Bing was furious. He immediately raised his leg, and as the roundhouse kick swept above the grass, the wind carried the grass forward as well. The power of his kick was evident, and being able to summon such explosive strength from a roundhouse kick on the spot showed that Hu Bing’s power could not be undermined.
However, when it came to power, he seemed to have picked on the wrong guy. Xu Cheng’s unknown body potential could already allow him to summon explosive strength 10 to 25 times greater than that. If an ordinary fighter’s kick could swing for about 150 pounds of force, then one could see how terrifying Xu Cheng’s 25x of explosive strength was.
