At this moment, in the training area of ​​the Xiyu base, Ji Tiehan looked at Wei Kang, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and sighed. The promising talent who was originally given high hopes has now been half ruined.

After walking over and patting Wei Kang on the shoulder, Ji Tiehan sat down opposite him and smiled slightly. "What's wrong?"

“Teacher…” Wei Kang shook his head, unwilling to say anything, as if he wanted to suppress all the things that were bothering him.

Seeing that Wei Kang was unwilling to talk about it, Ji Tiehan had no choice but to guess for himself, "Is it because of Ji Yueyao?"

Wei Kang was clearly caught off guard. His expression froze, and then he lowered his head with a wry smile, saying in a hoarse voice, "Teacher, you guessed right."

"...I know you two had a fight." Ji Tiehan sighed, trying to keep his tone gentle. This time, Ji Yueyao and Wei Kang weren't just bickering like before; it seemed like something had really gotten between them. "Can you tell me why?"

Wei Kang shook his head, buried his head in his arms, and remained silent for about two minutes before saying in a muffled voice, "Teacher... Ji Yueyao and I can never go back to the way things were."

"Can't we go back to the past?" Ji Tiehan raised his hand and patted Wei Kang's shoulder, puzzled. "Why can't we go back? You were only injured and unconscious for a few months, and your relationship with Ji Yueyao hasn't changed at all."

Shaking his head, Wei Kang paused for a few seconds before saying, "I hate people in the military, and she has a close relationship with them."

Ji Tiehan raised an eyebrow, stood up, and directly covered Wei Kang's head with his hand. Ji Tiehan's hand was very big, and when he covered it, he really covered the top of Wei Kang's head.

Feeling the strange sensation in his head, Wei Kang turned his head uncomfortably, but Ji Tiehan patted him a few more times as if coaxing a child.

"Teacher!" Wei Kang glared angrily. "Don't treat me like a child!"

"You're only sixteen, what else could you be but a child?" Ji Tiehan chuckled dismissively. "I could tell... you weren't telling the truth just now. That might be one reason, but it's definitely not the most important one."

His face stiffened, and Wei Kang lowered his head, sighing in frustration, "So even a lie can be seen through so easily..."

“It wasn’t easy…” She sat down next to Wei Kang. “It’s because I watched you all grow up. Those days we spent together weren’t wasted.”

The days we spent together... Yes, those were definitely the happiest times when we trained together. Wei Kang lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought. Ji Tiehan sat quietly beside him, waiting for him to figure things out.

“Teacher, the gap between her and me has become too big.” As if finally emerging from his memories, Wei Kang clenched his fist and suddenly spoke. He seemed to be trying his best to suppress certain emotions, his hands clenched so tightly that they trembled slightly. “Before, we could compete with each other as rivals without any restraint, and we could also help each other as partners... But now I can’t even get close to her... I simply can’t continue to stay by Ji Yueyao’s side in such a weak position.”

At this point, Wei Kang clutched his head in anguish, his voice filled with unprecedented vulnerability. "I can only strive to become stronger... Before that, I can endure even a falling out with her. Only when I... when I possess strength comparable to Ji Yueyao will I be qualified to stand by her side."

Moreover… she also has Mu Yanxuan from the military by her side. If he doesn't even have Ji Yueyao's strength, it means he will be thoroughly trampled underfoot by the military.

What a joke! He will never bow down to the trash in the military region again, absolutely not!

Ji Tiehan finally understood. For Wei Kang, strength and dignity were everything. He had just gotten out of bed and his immense dignity wouldn't allow him to be much weaker than Ji Yueyao. So he chose to break with Ji Yueyao rather than continue being partners with him.

"You're so stupid." Ji Tiehan elbowed Wei Kang, knocking the unsuspecting Wei Kang to the ground.

"What are you doing!" Wei Kang gritted his teeth, wishing he could get up and punch Ji Tiehan.

Ji Tiehan stretched his shoulders, and then launched an attack on Wei Kang without saying a word. Wei Kang reacted quickly and rolled to the side to avoid Ji Tiehan's heavy foot.

Then he rolled over and quickly got up, leaped back half a step, and stood there in a defensive posture.

Ji Tiehan watched Wei Kang's reaction with satisfaction, then sat down again, leaving Wei Kang standing there dumbfounded.

"Why can't you be a match for Ji Yueyao? Back then, you couldn't even touch the hem of my clothes, but now you can skillfully dodge my moves." Ji Tiehan looked at the stunned Wei Kang, then looked up at the cloudless blue sky above. "Constantly fighting against people stronger than yourself is the fastest way to improve your strength. This is what I taught you first. Have you forgotten?"

Wei Kang opened his mouth as if to say something, but only lowered his hand.

Ji Tiehan ignored Wei Kang's reaction. He paused for a moment and then said, "As for the idea that you and Ji Yueyao can't be partners, I think that's utter nonsense."

Standing up, Ji Tiehan walked to Wei Kang's side, patted his shoulder, and walked straight behind him. As he got further and further away, his voice remained clear, "Back then, Ji Yueyao's physique was weak, several levels lower than yours, but hasn't she become stronger now... Wei Kang, don't make excuses for your cowardice. So what if you were injured once... You can become stronger than anyone else; it's just a matter of time."

Although Wei Kang was still standing in the same spot, his previously dull eyes gradually cleared up.

Cowardice? No, he knew that, but he was unwilling to admit that what he felt wasn't cowardice, but inferiority.

Ji Tiehan was right. He had only fallen into a misconception. If he continued to be Ji Yueyao's partner, his strength would gradually increase. As for that annoying Mu Yanxuan, he would surpass Mu Yanxuan's strength one day. There was no need to hold a grudge now.

He will one day completely annihilate the military region's forces, leaving nothing behind.

Thinking of this, Wei Kang seemed to regain his motivation. He looked at Ji Tiehan, who had already walked far away, and smiled slightly as he walked happily out of the training area. Now, he should do what he had to do.

"Still haven't found him?" Yan Yu stood under a pine tree in the western villa area, looking at the still green pine needles and said calmly.

"No... He should be in the training area of ​​the Xiyu base, but it's too big. I searched all night and couldn't find a trace of him." A woman standing behind Yan Yu said softly. The woman was wearing a well-fitting military uniform, and her delicate face and voluptuous figure were enough to spark many fantasies. (To be continued.)
