Chapter 11: She’s Not Someone You Can Provoke

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Sun Zhi knew that Tang Ye was formidable, but it was all from hearsay. In reality, he had only joined the army for a short time and had not witnessed Tang Ye’s skills firsthand.

Furthermore, Sun Zhi came from a family with a background in martial arts, having practiced martial arts since childhood. This made him quite confident, and he had already envisioned the scene where he would defeat Tang Ye and receive cheers.

Tang Ye’s exceptional tactics and combat skills were on full display as soon as the battle officially began.

He quickly dodged, effortlessly evading Sun Zhi’s attacks, and then counterattacked swiftly and decisively.

Every move he made was precise and sharp, and his strikes were lightning-fast. His agility resembled that of a cheetah, and each strike carried tremendous force.

Sweat beads formed on Sun Zhi’s forehead as he felt an unprecedented level of pressure. He had been repeatedly struck by Tang Ye’s fists.

Tang Ye chose to target concealed areas, avoiding leaving obvious marks or causing severe injuries, but the pain was unbearable.

Finally, Tang Ye leaped into the air and landed a punch on Sun Zhi’s face. He then grabbed Sun Zhi’s neck and exerted enough force to pin him firmly into the mud.

With his knee pressed against Sun Zhi’s head, Tang Ye leaned in close to Sun Zhi’s ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Chen Lan is not someone you can provoke.”

Cheers erupted from the onlookers, but these cheers weren’t for Sun Zhi as he had envisioned. They were celebrating his opponent’s victory.

Tang Ye quickly got up and addressed the excited crowd, “Thanks to Vice Commander Sun for the live demonstration. Everyone, go back and reflect on the reasons for his defeat in this battle. I’ll be watching to see who repeats the same mistakes next time, and they’ll have extra training!”

‘Kill a man and wipe out his heart’. Sun Zhi’s face, covered in mud, turned as red as a cooked shrimp.

Liang Chen rushed over in a few steps and quickly helped him up. After a brief examination, he found that aside from the bruise on Sun Zhi’s face from the earlier punch, there were no other visible injuries.

Song Lian tucked the remaining melon seeds back into his pocket and walked over to pat Liang Chen’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. Injuries are inevitable during training. He’ll be fine after resting for a few days.”

“You win. Let’s go!” Sun Zhi still couldn’t believe he had lost, but that was the fact. He quickly pulled Liang Chen away.

“Vice Commander Sun, feel free to come by anytime. Your demonstration is very useful for improving the soldiers’ skills!” Song Lian shouted as he waved from behind.

Sun Zhi staggered and almost lost his balance but then quickened his pace.

Seeing this, Song Lian burst into laughter.

Tang Ye said helplessly, “That’s enough. We’re all comrades!”

“It’s precisely because they’re comrades. As the saying goes, prideful soldiers will always lose. They always say the Third Battalion is the strongest, and the First Battalion is their ace. Now, this commander doesn’t even regard the battalion commander highly! It’s good to deflate their arrogance now, so they don’t get beaten up by the enemy on the battlefield.”

Drills were inevitable in the military. Previously, the Ninth Battalion was significantly lower than that of the Third Battalion. But now, with Tang Ye here, the overall quality of soldiers has improved tremendously. Song Lian was confident that in the next drill, they would be able to surpass the Third Battalion.

“I heard that Liang Chen is going to be promoted to Third Battalion Commander?”

Tang Ye picked up his clothes, preparing to take a shower at the military camp to clean off the mud. He remembered that Chen Lan was a germaphobe, so he wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about Song Lian’s question. “What does it have to do with us?”

Song Lian rolled his eyes at the response. “How can it not matter? You two were compared all the time when you were recruited. If he becomes the Third Battalion Commander next time, won’t you two be compared again?” Plus, you’re married to Chen Lan now, who wouldn’t want to watch the show?

Of course, he didn’t say the latter part out loud. He knew better than anyone how much Tang Ye cared about this matter.

“By the way, do you want to go home and check on it? Sister-in-law couldn’t have just hit Sun Zhi for no reason. Don’t let her suffer any grievances.”

At the mention of Chen Lan, Tang Ye’s icy expression finally softened.

In his memory, although Chen Lan was often arrogant and verbally confrontational with him in the past, she had never resorted to public physical violence, especially not in front of Liang Chen.

“Alright, you take care of their training. I’ll go back and take a look, and I’ll be back in a while.” After saying that, he hurried towards the bathroom. Even if he was anxious, this short delay wouldn’t make much of a difference. Going back like this, Chen Lan would surely despise him.

Song Lian watched Tang Ye leave in a hurry and shook his head. “Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of beauty. Tsk tsk tsk.” Then he turned to the soldiers waiting for orders. “Dismissed!”

The soldiers cheered and quickly dispersed from the training ground.
