Chapter 454 Winning the competition but losing the hearts of the people. All the shouts and exclamations were cut off by an invisible pair of scissors the moment that kick landed.
Dozens of spirited soldiers were now like ducks with their necks choked, mouths agape but unable to utter a sound.
They could only watch, watching the small, thin figure curled up on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, a chill running from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.
That's too ruthless.
Bai Wei stood in the center of the fighting circle, her chest heaving violently. Sweat mixed with dust streamed down her face, leaving several disheveled marks.
That powerful side kick, which she had delivered with all her might and contained all her anger and humiliation, had also exhausted a lot of her energy.
She gasped for breath, looking at Chen Xiaocao, who had finally stopped moving on the ground. There was no remorse or unease on her face; instead, a morbid, twisted, and gleeful smile slowly spread across her face.
Finally... it's over.
She won.
She finally stomped on the cockroach that couldn't be killed.
However, just when everyone thought the matter was over, Bai Wei, with bloodshot eyes, actually walked towards the unconscious Chen Xiaocao again!
What is she trying to do?!
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
Bai Wei walked up to Chen Xiaocao and looked down at her pale face. She slowly raised her fist, which was covered in dirt and blood.
She seemed to want to add a few more blows!
"stop!"
"Beep—! Beep beep—!"
Lei Kuan's furious shout and the urgent, distorted whistle rang out at the same time!
Like an enraged leopard, he leaped down from the platform with such speed that he created a gust of wind. He grabbed Bai Wei's arm.
"Are you crazy! The person has lost consciousness! Do you want to go to a military court?!" Lei Kuan's voice was filled with barely suppressed rage.
He suddenly exerted force with his arm, using all his strength to throw Bai Wei backward.
Bai Wei stumbled, nearly falling, as he flung her. Her arm ached from his grip, and her eyes were still somewhat crazed and dazed, as if she didn't understand why the instructor was stopping her. She looked at Lei Kuan, then at Chen Xiaocao, who was being frantically and carefully lifted onto a stretcher by two rushing medics, muttering to herself, "I won... I won..."
Lei Kuan gave her a deep look.
He didn't say another word to her, and turned to announce to the entire audience: "Bai Wei wins the first match of the second round! Bai Wei has three points, and her total score is now six points."
Upon hearing the verdict, the blankness on Bai Wei's face was instantly replaced by ecstatic joy.
She won! The instructor himself announced that she had won!
Bai Wei raised her hand high, looking around as if waiting for the cheers and applause that a victor deserves.
However, all that answered her was deathly silence.
And hundreds of cold, disgusted, and contemptuous gazes.
There were no cheers, no applause, not even a single word of discussion.
The entire training ground was so quiet that you could hear the wind whistling through the flagpole.
The male soldiers, those men who had just been cheering wildly for Chen Xiaocao's comeback, were now silent. Some turned their heads away, not deigning to look at her again; others looked at her with the contempt of someone looking at trash, a look that was more hurtful than any insult.
"Pah! What a piece of trash!" Li Si lowered his voice and spat on the ground. "None of the shrewish bullies I've seen in the police station are as despicable as her! Beating up a female soldier who's so much weaker than her, even after she's passed out, she still manages to kill her. She's a disgrace to us soldiers!"
Zhuo Yue's face was extremely grim. He didn't say a word, just stared at the direction the medics had carried Chen Xiaocao away, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
Jiang Yan stood at the very front of the line, his brows furrowed tightly.
