Born in the 58s

Rong Jiaojiao's soul was mistakenly taken by a soul-reaper. After negotiating with him and receiving a series of compensations, she was ready to be reborn after drinking Meng Po's soup. How...

Chapter 288 Sparring

The other soldiers, confused, asked each other, "What does the captain mean?"

"have no idea!"

Xie Yuncheng, Cheng Jinbao, and Qian Liang looked at each other. Qian Liang mouthed, "Fairy?"

Everyone else shook their heads and turned to look at the training field.

Rong Jiaojiao smiled, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes. She knew that the upcoming duel would be the real test, and she had to give it her all.

Her voice was clear and melodious as she said, "Big brother, then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Hua Yan launched another attack, this time with even faster movements and more ferocious moves.

His fists rained down like raindrops, each punch carrying immense power, as if he wanted to completely suppress Rong Jiaojiao.

However, Rong Jiaojiao was not afraid at all. With her agility and accurate judgment, she dodged Hua Yan's attacks one by one.

Her movements were agile and swift, like a nimble swallow, weaving freely through Hua Yan's attacks.

More than ten minutes passed, and neither of them had injured the other. More and more people gathered around, including members of the other four teams.

Many people even carried over training equipment and timber to watch the fight.

Just as Hua Yan was about to throw another punch, Rong Jiaojiao suddenly moved. Her figure flashed, and she actually rushed towards Hua Yan.

Her movements were so fast that she was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Just as Hua Yan was about to react, Rong Jiaojiao was already in front of him and punched him hard in the chin.

That punch was incredibly powerful; if it had hit Hua Yan, he would have been sent flying far away.

However, Hua Yan was no ordinary person, and his reaction speed was also extremely fast.

At the critical moment, he slightly tilted his head and dodged the punch.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed Rong Jiaojiao's wrist with his backhand.

"Hmph, little girl, you're still too green." Hua Yan chuckled, preparing to forcefully throw Rong Jiaojiao away.

However, Rong Jiaojiao remained calm and used her feet to push against his abdomen. The force was so great that Hua Yan felt as if his internal organs were being twisted together in pain, and his grip on her hands loosened involuntarily.

Rong Jiaojiao also took the opportunity to break free from his grip, performed a backflip in the air, and landed steadily. At the same time, she casually patted the dust off her body, as if she had just been doing a light gymnastics performance.

Hua Yan gave a thumbs up and said, "Little sister is amazing, I admit defeat!"

His candid remarks caused an uproar in the audience.

Those who can become captains are all exceptionally skilled, not to mention Hua Yan, who is known in the military for his superb fighting skills. On ordinary days, even the strongest soldiers in the company would find it difficult to last more than a few moves against him.

Now, he actually admitted defeat in front of a little girl who looked no more than ten years old, which really surprised everyone.

"Captain, are you serious?" Xie Yuncheng couldn't help but ask loudly, his tone filled with disbelief.

Hua Yan smiled slightly, patted his chest, and said, "Of course I'm serious. This little girl's skills are not something ordinary people can match. If it were anyone else, I would have thrown them away long ago with that grab. But she not only broke free, but also made me suffer a small loss. I admit defeat wholeheartedly."

Rong Jiaojiao stood there, a shy smile on her face, and lowered her head slightly, saying, "Big brother, actually, I still have many moves I haven't used yet."

Her words drew laughter from those around her; everyone was amused by her confidence.

Hua Yan couldn't help but laugh. He thought this little girl was not only quite skilled, but also had a very interesting personality.

"Little girl, your skills aren't something just anyone can develop," Hua Yan said with a hint of seriousness. "When did you start practicing martial arts?"

Rong Jiaojiao held up two fingers: "Two years old!"

Hua Yan nodded: "And what about your brother?"

He's nine years old!

Rong Jiaojiao remembered her father saying that her eldest and second eldest brothers only started practicing martial arts after they came to the army camp, when they were nine years old.

Then a few more people came out, including some she had seen before, but Rong Jiaojiao didn't remember them.

An older man stepped forward and said, "Little girl, we meet again. I didn't expect your father to be so amazing, but you're even more amazing!"

Rong Jiaojiao asked in confusion, "Who is Uncle?"

"My name is Li Yunhua. I met you when you were a child!"

Rong Jiaojiao turned to look at her older brother, and seeing him nod, she turned back to Li Yunhua and said, "Hello, Uncle Li!"

Just as Li Yunhua was about to speak, someone interrupted, "Little girl, I'm Ji Qingshan, the captain of Team Four. How about you have a match with me?"

The speaker was a tall, muscular young man, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Rong Jiaojiao sensed it and her eyes lit up. This person had a powerful aura and blood, clearly indicating that he had practiced external martial arts.

Even so, she was confident that her physical strength was superior to his, and she believed that she would not lose to him based on her own strength and skills alone.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "You're better than Brother Hua, you deserve a match!"

Rong Zhigao panicked: "Jiaojiao, he's even more powerful than Big Brother, let's just forget about it!"

Ji Qingshan said loudly, "I will control my strength and won't hurt her."

Rong Jiaojiao winked at Rong Zhigao: "Big brother, he can't hurt me!"

Rong Zhigao paused for a moment, then, realizing that Rong Jiaojiao knew magic, he couldn't let her get hurt, so he said no more.

Others felt that Rong Jiaojiao had great potential, but was too arrogant and didn't know what she was doing.

Xie Yuncheng and the others ran up to Rong Zhigao and asked worriedly, "Aren't you going to try to persuade your sister?"

Although she wasn't the fairy-like figure they had hoped for, she was still their class monitor's sister, and they still didn't want anything to happen to Rong Jiaojiao.

Rong Zhigao shook his head: "Let's take a look first!"

Rong Jiaojiao and Ji Qingshan quickly clashed, and after a few tentative exchanges, they both began to fight seriously.

External martial arts are known for their fierce and domineering nature. Ji Qingshan's punches and kicks are so fast and ruthless that you might mistake him for an enemy!

Everyone else felt a chill for Rong Jiaojiao, while Rong Zhigao was so anxious that his palms and back were sweaty, his eyes fixed on the field.

However, Rong Jiaojiao on the field was as light as a swallow. She was more serious than Hua Yan in dealing with Ji Qingshan. Therefore, Ji Qingshan's storm-like attacks seemed to fall on cotton.

After a while, Rong Jiaojiao got used to Ji Qingshan's rhythm and immediately launched a counterattack.

Her counterattack was equally fierce and swift, like a sudden storm, catching Ji Qingshan off guard.

Her punches and kicks carried a sharp whistling sound, each move aimed directly at Ji Qingshan's vital points.

Although Ji Qingshan was tall and incredibly strong, and his movements were already very agile compared to others, he appeared somewhat clumsy in the face of Rong Jiaojiao's nimble movements.

"What incredible speed!" Ji Qingshan thought to himself in amazement.

He realized that the little girl's skills far exceeded his expectations.
