Chapter 278 Competition



"Children, you are the hope of the Harnden Galaxy and the most promising force to recover the three barren planets. Now that you are here, I will not let you down. I will shape you into the most promising seeds and make you the ones who can plant roses on the barren planets."

Ye Hongci's calm and soothing voice echoed in everyone's ears. There was no shouting at the top of his lungs, but it made everyone's heart surge.

At this moment, everyone's fighting spirit reached its peak. Fighting for the Harnden galaxy and sacrificing for the recovery of the three desolate stars became a mission of supreme glory.

Ye Hongci swept his eyes across everyone's faces with satisfaction, "From now on, I will train with you all and participate in every selection process. I look forward to your outstanding performance."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

Being able to receive personal guidance from Chief Ye is an opportunity that no military reservist has ever had.

"We are so lucky." Ai Meigui couldn't control her excitement and shared her joy with Tu Ran.

Tu Ran nodded without any emotion.

"Time is running out. We cannot waste every minute and every second. My speech ends here and the training begins from now on."

After saying that, Ye Hongci waved his hand, and Tang Ying, who was standing on the outskirts of the crowd, strode in. She passed by Tu Ran, bringing with her a gust of cold wind.

It’s really cold. Tu Ran sighed.

Tang Ying walked to Ye Hongci expressionlessly and stopped beside him, enduring the admiring gazes of the crowd together with Ye Hongci.

"Let's take a look at everyone's basic fighting skills this morning." Ye Hongci patted Tang Ying's shoulder. "Tang Zhu will be your instructor during this period. You can come up and compete with Tang Zhu. Winning or losing is not important. The main purpose is for me to understand everyone's situation so that I can further prepare the next training plan."

The reserve officers sitting on the mats looked at each other, and one of them raised his hand and stood up, "Chief Ye, I want to give it a try."

"Okay, please move to the middle."

Tu Ran looked at the man who was walking towards her. It was Xiang Qian, the eldest of the two brothers.

Tu Ran learned from a previous chat with them that their parents were soldiers. They were very strict with them since they were young and taught them many skills used in the army.

Tang Ying stepped out from Ye Hongci's side, stood in the middle, and waited for Xiang Qian to come over.

After Xiang Qian came over, the physical training instructor he had seen a few days ago came over pushing a cart with various melee weapons on it.

Tang Ying said, "You can pick any one you like."

"What about you?" Xiang Qian scratched his head and asked stupidly.

Tang Ying's face was expressionless, and she opened her red lips slightly, "I don't need it."

She didn't take Xiang Qian seriously at all, or rather, she didn't take all the reserve members present seriously.

She had been to the battlefield, killed strange beasts with her own hands, felt the scalding blood of strange beasts, been injured by strange beasts, had her life hanging by a thread, and watched alive people being swallowed by strange beasts. She was truly battle-hardened and had the capital to look down on everyone present.

Xiang Qian didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He carefully selected his weapon and finally chose a forearm-length dagger. He held it in his hand and weighed it twice. It was a good fit. He looked at Tang Ying and said, "Tang Zhu, I'm ready."

Tang Ying clenched his fists, gestured in front of him, and said coldly, "Don't give me any leeway. If you treat me like a strange beast, I won't show you mercy."

"Okay." Xiang Qian nodded and tightened the dagger in his hand. The next moment, Tang Ying rushed over.

At this moment, Tu Ran felt that she really lived up to her name.

Her figure was so fast that only an afterimage was left behind. That speed was difficult to capture with the human eye. If Tu Ran had not been unable to see the superpower panel above her head, she would have suspected that she also had a superpower similar to "teleportation".

At this moment, although Tu Ran knew that there was such a thing as spiritual power in this world, he had not yet understood its specific manifestations.

Xiang Qian versus Tang Ying is simply a rookie versus an eagle. Everything is just a prank for the eagle, but the rookie has to do his best.

Xiang Qian had no power to fight back. All his moves and techniques were defeated by Tang Ying's ghostly speed.

Tang Ying gave him a final kick in the chest, sending him flying three meters away, where he fell heavily to the ground.

The reserve staff who were closer to Xiang Qian were choked by the dust that was splashed on the ground when he hit the ground and started coughing.

Xiang Qian got up from the ground, holding his chest with his hands, his face flushed red. It took him a long time to ease the pain in his chest. He stood up, handed the weapon back to the cart, and walked back to his seat silently.

Ye Hongci consoled him, "Student Xiang has a very good foundation, but his speed and reaction ability need to be improved. You can focus on practicing these two points in the future."

"Thank you, Commander Ye, for your guidance." Xiang Qian bent down to express his gratitude, enduring the pain.

Everyone saw how ruthless Tang Ying was.

But there are still people willing to compete with her, because the opportunity to get personal guidance from Chief Ye is rare.

The second person who went up was a muscular man. He did not choose any weapon and walked straight to Tang Ying.

"Tang Zhu, I've long heard of your great name." The man twisted his neck, making a "crunching" sound, and then he twisted his wrists and ankles.

Tang Ying looked at him expressionlessly, and waited until he had twisted all the limbs that could make sounds before saying, "Can we start?"

"Of course." said the man, and the next second, he punched Tang Ying directly.

Tang Ying dodged easily by turning sideways, then turned around and kicked the man's knee. The man was as big as a mountain and was not affected by the kick at all. Instead, he swung his fist again and attacked Tang Ying.

Tang Ying dodged by stepping backwards, then moved forward again, raised her legs to twist the man's arms, and clung to the man's arms flexibly like a snake. She controlled the man's neck with both hands, counterattacked with the strength of her entire body, and threw the man's huge body to the ground.

It took less than thirty seconds to accomplish all this. No one except Tu Ran and Ye Hongci could see how she did it.

Everyone looked confused.

Tang Ying stood up from the man indifferently and returned to her original position.

The man was lying on the ground. He was heavy and was knocked down so hard that he was in so much pain that he was cramping, especially in his neck and arms. These two places were where Tang Ying exerted his strength, and they were also the key points to defeat him.

Two instructors came in, helped him up, and walked towards the infirmary.

"Student Shi has strong core strength, which makes him suitable for shield-type mechas." Ye Hongci commented on the battle just now.
