Chapter 147. Why Was Everyone Around Young Master Jiang So Strong?
“Everyone, look! A firebird has appeared above the finish line.”
“Are you blind? That’s the divine beast Vermilion Bird!”
“You’ve got to be kidding. How could the Vermilion Bird appear here?”
“...”
Under the cover of night, the groups in the wasteland supported one another as they slowly made their way toward the finish line.
But the sky suddenly lit up, and the flaming Vermilion Bird circling overhead left everyone stunned.
“That crimson fla... why does it feel so much like Miss Su’s martial talent?”
“I think the instructors probably set it up so we could see the road more clearly.”
“Co on, let’s hurry up. We’ll know once we reach the finish line.”
“...”
By the ti the recruits arrived at the finish line one after another, the flaming Vermilion Bird had long since disappeared.
They sat on the ground at the airport to rest, only to notice that the expressions on the faces of their own instructors looked rather strange.
“Instructor, did you create that flaming Vermilion Bird just now?”
Instructor Han shook his head. “That was the phenonon caused by Su Linyu of Formation One breaking through to the Sixth Realm. Look at her, then look at yourselves.”
After saying that, he turned and boarded the helicopter, calling for the recruits of his formation to return to the Military District.
But when the recruits heard that Su Linyu had broken through to the Sixth Realm, while they themselves were still in the Fourth Realm, an overwhelming sense of disparity instantly flooded their hearts.
“It would be one thing if Young Master Jiang were ridiculously strong, but how is even his fiancée this terrifying?”
“Exactly. I rember that before the Military District Internship started, the Team League showed that Su Linyu was only at the Fifth Layer of the Fifth Realm. How did she break through to the Sixth Realm so fast?”
“I don’t understand! I really don’t understand!”
“...”
anwhile, Jiang Yichen and the others had already returned to the First Military District by helicopter.
“Brother Yichen, I’ve moved one step closer to you again. I’ll keep working hard.”
After getting off the helicopter, Su Linyu spoke with delight written all over her face.
Jiang Yichen pinched her cheek. “Working this hard is exhausting. Isn’t that what I’m here for?”
Su Linyu shook her head and said sincerely, “No. I want to be able to help when Brother Yichen runs into difficulties in the future.”
Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. “You really do spend all your ti thinking about , don’t you?”
“I’m your fiancée. Once I have chosen soone, I will never change for the rest of my life.” Su Linyu raised her little fist, her expression full of determination.
Jiang Yichen could not help sighing inwardly. Even this girl’s love words were so moving.
He took Su Linyu’s hand and walked her back to her dormitory.
Tang Long and Chu Xingchen did not linger either. Dragging their exhausted bodies behind them, they returned to their dorms to sleep.
Only Jiang Feng still stood where he was, the image of Su Linyu’s breakthrough replaying over and over in his mind.
The confidence he had once possessed was gradually being beaten to pieces by reality.
He could not even see the threshold of true genius.
Jiang Feng walked toward the dormitory building in dejection.
“Chief Instructor, Su Linyu broke through to the Sixth Realm, Great Grandmaster during the march training. Her talent is truly formidable.”
At the airport, Instructor Huang spoke with a sigh of admiration.
Zhou Yu listened from the side. As he watched Jiang Yichen and Su Linyu walk back hand in hand, a trace of jealousy flashed through his eyes.
Su Zhan had actually produced such a gifted daughter. If she married into the Zhou family, it would be a trendous blessing.
Unfortunately...
As long as Jiang Yichen was not eliminated, that would never happen.
Killing intent slowly surfaced in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
Jiang Yichen, the Recruit Wilderness Mission would be the day you died, and Su Linyu would inevitably marry into the Zhou family.
Just wait. He would let Jiang Yichen enjoy himself a little longer first.
...
Day after day passed.
The next stage of training involved learning the weaknesses of demonic beasts and carrying out simulated combat.
But Jiang Yichen continued living as he always had. He would stroll around whenever he felt like it, and if the mood struck him, he would train with Su Linyu and the others for a while.
Even the instructors were envious of how leisurely his life was.
The only strange thing was that ever since the march training, Jiang Feng had beco much more obedient.
Aside from occasionally spouting a few overbearing CEO catchphrases, he completed the group training Jiang Yichen assigned with full seriousness.
Compared with his previous life, being able to enjoy such peaceful days during the Military District Internship felt like heaven.
Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the last day before the wilderness mission.
“Brother Yichen, during training this morning, the instructor said every group has to prepare a talent performance for tonight.”
Jiang Yichen paused in the middle of eating, rembering that there had been this activity in his previous life as well.
After the Recruit Wilderness Mission ca tactical training, and Instructor Huang would no longer be in charge of them.
On the final night, the instructors would usually chat with everyone and ask the recruits to prepare so performances so they could spend the evening happily.
It was a lot like military training before university started—actually rather fun.
“Brother Yichen, do you have any suggestions?” Su Linyu asked.
Suggestions?
A troubled look appeared on Jiang Yichen’s face. He truly had no talent for performance.
In his previous life, the performance his group had put on was a silly hand-waving dance. It had been unbearably embarrassing.
What should they do this ti...?
Just as he was thinking, the System’s voice rang out.
[ Ding! Slacking Choice triggered. ]
[ Choice One: As the group leader, with your group about to go on stage for a performance, you rack your brains and call your teammates over to discuss it. Reward: the title “Responsible Bro.”
Choice Two: Since you cannot think of a performance anyway, rather than rack your brains, let soone capable handle it while you enjoy the results. Reward: “Interdiate Slacking Gift Pack.” ]
Jiang Yichen’s brows rose slightly. Just because he could not think of anything did not an soone else could not.
His gaze slowly settled on Su Linyu’s face. “You handle it. I believe you can do it well.”
Su Linyu froze for a mont, then the corners of her lips gradually lifted.
“All right. Since Brother Yichen trusts so much, I definitely will not let you down.”
She agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Jiang Yichen could not help but smile. What a foolishly sweet girl.
Still, with Su Linyu’s all-around competence, she really was the most suitable person for this.
“Do you have any ideas?” he asked curiously.
Su Linyu rolled her eyes as she thought for a mont, then said, “Jiang Feng’s personality is actually perfect for this. I thought of a really good skit.”
“What is it?”
“That’s a secret for now. If I tell you, it won’t be a surprise anymore.”
Jiang Yichen smiled and nodded without pressing further.
After the al, Su Linyu excitedly called over Chu Xingchen, Tang Long, and Jiang Feng.
“For tonight’s talent performance, Brother Yichen and I discussed it and decided to put on a skit. Who wants to participate?”
The mont she finished speaking, Jiang Feng instinctively stepped forward, clearly about to say sothing like, “Woman, this role can belong to no one but .”
But as soon as his right foot moved out, he thought better of it and stepped back.
Among a group of true geniuses, his confidence had been crushed to pieces.
For so reason, he really was no longer as self-assured as before.
“Then Jiang Feng will be the lead. Tang Long, you’ll support him. As for Chu Xingchen...”
Su Linyu imdiately began assigning roles and handed the three of them the script for a skit titled The Domineering CEO Goes to the Doctor.
Jiang Feng was surprised to hear that he was the lead. But after glancing at the script, his face instantly fell.
“Woman, are you deliberately trying to make a fool of in front of everyone?” he said coldly.
“This is Brother Yichen’s order. If you dare disobey, believe it or not, I’ll beat you up!” Su Linyu raised her fist.
Anger appeared between Jiang Feng’s brows, but he said nothing more and accepted it in silence.
Su Linyu could not help smiling. “There’s no training this afternoon, so let’s start practicing. We absolutely cannot embarrass Brother Yichen.”
Tang Long and Chu Xingchen both flashed an OK gesture.
...
That night, the training ground was filled with excitent, and the repeated chants of training were nowhere to be heard.
Quite a few people held glowing light sticks in their hands, adding to the atmosphere of each formation.
Jiang Yichen, dressed in camouflage, also ca to his formation. He mainly wanted to see the skit Su Linyu and the others had prepared.
It was also his way of feeling like he had actually participated, at least a little, as the group leader.
As Jiang Yichen watched from below the small stage, Su Linyu stood there seriously giving instructions to Tang Long and the other two with the script in hand. The corners of his lips rose slightly.
Having such a capable fiancée really was reassuring.
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, for making a Slacking Choice. Reward: “Interdiate Slacking Gift Pack.” Would you like to open it? ]
