"Then let's take a look."

"Then let's take a look."

"How about Mianmian? Is she okay?"

"Give it a try! Besides, it's been years since I've sparred with anyone, and I'm also eager to test my skills now."

"good"

"Chief of Staff Chen, what brings you here?"

"yes"

"Go there"

"The playground! Those kids are training there. Let's show them what a battle of experts looks like."

"That's true, it's been half a year since Chief of Staff Chen has taken any action."

"Who can argue with that? Indeed, in the entire military region, only that kid Shen Xi is on par with Chief of Staff Chen."

Who can argue with that?

What's going on? This Chief of Staff Chen has even fought against the Third Brother before, and they were evenly matched. It seems that the other party is not to be underestimated.

Upon seeing their commander approach, the soldiers on the parade ground immediately stood at attention and greeted him with "Greetings, Commander!"

"Alright, everyone, hold on for a moment. We're here to let this lady have a match with Chief of Staff Chen, so please step back."

"yes"

This is another chance to see Chief of Staff Chen's skills, but who is this woman? Can she handle it? In the entire military region, only Chief of Staff Chen and Deputy Company Commander Shen Xichen are evenly matched. No one else is a match for these two. Even if the two of them were to compete, they would have a winner and a loser.

"Mianmian, is there a problem?"

"no problem"

"Alright, you two, let's begin."

"yes"

Ladies first

"Then I won't be polite."

Since he fought against his third brother, it means that military boxing is useless against him. However, since I don't know his fighting style, military boxing is the best way to test him.

Then throw a punch, but he can block every single one of my moves, which means he has other skills, so there's no need to hide them.

Those in the know could tell that this woman was no longer using the military boxing they usually practiced, but had switched to a different style.

Chen Liang never expected that his opponent's initial move wasn't to subdue him, but rather to test him, demonstrating her skill. However, by the time he realized this and tried to retaliate, it was too late. His opponent began targeting his vital points with every move, revealing her formidable power.

I never expected Chief of Staff Chen to be so capable. No wonder he's on par with Third Brother.

But what if my third brother knows what I know, and I know what he knows? There's nothing I can do but say that the final contest will be about who has the greater strength and who can last the longest. In this respect, there are really few who can rival me.

The more Chen Liang fought, the more familiar this routine seemed. He felt like he'd seen it somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it. Moreover, his opponent was moving so fast that he didn't have any extra time to think.

Just then, seeing that his opponent was distracted, he punched him an inch from his temple.

"good"

Then thunderous applause rang out.

After the applause stopped, the other person asked, "What is your relationship with Shen Dong?"

"Sir, do you know my elder brother?"

"I not only know Shen Dong, but I also know that there is a Shen Xi in our military region. Their methods are the same as yours just now."

"How would you know my older brother?"

"We were classmates in college."

"All right"

Please answer my question.

"Sir, since you said it's the same approach, then of course they were taught by the same person."

"But your breath lasts longer than both of theirs."

"Yeah?"

"so what!"

"Then what about your aura?"

"Our own secret techniques, not to be passed on to outsiders."

"Didn't you already tell me? Why are you still asking?"

"Shen Dong and Shen Xi both said that their skills were taught by an elder. I wonder if this elder is your father?"

"No, it's my mother. You know they all sacrificed their lives."

"Feel sorry"

"Mianmian, I never expected you to be so skilled!"

"I apologize for the embarrassing incident involving Uncle Wang and the other leaders."

Wow! You're pretty good!

"It's alright, just so-so."

"This is so-so."

"You guys continue training."

Uncle Wang, it's getting late, I'll head back now.

"Why don't we eat first and then go back?"

"No need, I'll just go through the mountains."

"Alright, Chief of Staff Chen, you take a few men and accompany Mianmian along the shortest route. From now on, this will be your only route, making it easier to get into the city."

"No need, Uncle Wang."

"It's alright, have him bring some men to accompany you. It's only about forty minutes from here to Xiangyang Brigade."

"Alright then, I'll leave it to Chief of Staff Chen."

"No trouble at all"

On the way, Chief of Staff Chen asked, "Comrade Li, Shen Dong and his brother are quite similar to you in terms of their style and demeanor. Is there any difference?"

"Actually, there's not much difference; it's just that they practiced the fist techniques first, while I practiced the internal cultivation methods first."

"Why"

"How should I put it? Let's not talk about the eldest brother, but about the third brother. When he was practicing boxing, I was still a little kid. How could I practice? I could only practice mental techniques!"

"Will I still be able to spar with Comrade Li in the future?"

"no?"

"Why"

"Comrade Chen, I am a woman, and I am 17 years old this year, which is 18 by the traditional Chinese age reckoning. I need to be mindful of my reputation."

"Then just now..."

"It was because Uncle Wang and the others were there that I was able to clear things up, even if something happened."

"Then we can spar in the military region from now on!"

"Comrade Chen, I won't say I go to the countryside to work every day, and I won't even go to the military region anymore. This year you can say you're 17, but what about next year? You can't say you're 17 then! Like I said, I'm careful about my reputation."

"All right"

"If you really want to find a way out, go find my third brother! That is, Shen Xi."

"But it gets boring when everyone knows the same routine."

"And what about them? Aren't they just doing military-style boxing all day long? They all know each other well, and they're still sparring, aren't they? Do they get bored? No, in fact, they get more and more excited as they get older."

"Too"

About ten minutes later, Chief of Staff Chen said, "After this bend, at your pace, it'll be a few minutes' walk down the mountain. We won't go any further; the locals are too hospitable."

"Okay, you guys go back then, I can manage on my own."

Okay, goodbye.

"goodbye"

"Old Wang, what do you think about letting Comrade Li join the army?"

"Do you think I don't want to? Not only do I want to, but Old Chen, who's stationed in Beijing, also wants to, but the kids here have to be willing themselves."

"That's true, I've heard that Deputy Commander Han is also eyeing this child."

You said it was Old Han?

"yes"

"Then what should we do?"

"have no idea"

"Alright, enough about it. Didn't you all see it from her behavior just now? This girl isn't the type to linger in battle. You can tell from that that she has no interest in being a soldier."

"That's true, but you could also become an arts and entertainment soldier or a medical soldier!"

"Wouldn't it be a waste of talent to serve in one of those two branches of the military?"

"But wouldn't she be wasting her talents in the countryside?"

"Alright, whether she's willing or not is her business. Even if we really arrange it for her, there's nothing we can do if she doesn't want to. Besides, Li Zilong and his wife only have this one bloodline left in the world. If there are any dangerous people involved, are you really willing to let her go?"
