The next day, Guochao didn't show up. Instead, Li Qing took Leng Yue to the training room. "The boss said you're in danger lately, so you should just stay in the training room and train hard."
Leng Yue nodded. Guo Chao had already told her that they would help her deal with the foreign assassins. Actually, Ling had already found out about it before Guo Chao told her, but Leng Yue had to pretend not to know.
"Alright, focus on your training. You can talk to Wu Xi if you need anything. She doesn't have any missions lately, so just let her know. Don't let her cold demeanor fool you, Wu Xi is actually a very nice person." Li Qing stroked his less than an inch-long hair and smiled sheepishly.
Leng Yue sensed that Li Qing was quite shy when he mentioned Wu Xi.
Leng Yue looked at Li Qing with a gossipy expression, which made Li Qing even more embarrassed. Finally, he hurriedly said, "Alright, Leng Yue, you should go in now. Instructor Bai is waiting."
After Li Qing finished speaking, he quickly pushed Leng Yue into the training room and then left with lightning speed.
Leng Yue couldn't help but twitch her lips. How could a grown man be so shy? Leng Yue couldn't help but worry about Li Qing. He and Wu Xi were like a block of wood and an ice cube, it would be quite difficult for the two of them to click!
"Hello, Instructor Bai!" Leng Yue walked into the training room and greeted the instructor politely.
The instructor was a very tall and strong young man. Although his muscles were not particularly developed, he was very lean and gave the impression of being very powerful.
"Hello, Leng Yue, right? A power type?" Instructor Bai said, holding the trainee's file in his hand, while making some marks on it with a pen.
After not hearing Leng Yue's voice for a while, he looked up at her with a puzzled expression, "Is there something you don't understand?"
Leng Yue hesitated for a moment, "Don't we need to take a test? How did you determine if I'm a strength type?"
"Simple. See that?" Instructor Bai pointed to the dumbbell next to him. "Go ahead and try lifting it with one hand."
Before Leng Yue could react to what Instructor Bai had just finished speaking, a female trainee next to her questioned, "Instructor, are you kidding? She probably couldn't even lift a bone!"
Instructor Bai glanced at the female trainee but didn't speak, only looking at Leng Yue. Leng Yue also didn't speak, but walked to the dumbbell and picked it up with two fingers.
Instructor Bai nodded. "The strength is indeed considerable."
Leng Yue looked at the female student who had mocked her earlier and shook her head, "Big sister, your finger isn't broken, and it's not fractured."
"Who are you calling 'big sister'? Are you looking for a beating?" The female student was quite angry and wanted to rush over and hit Leng Yue when she saw the sarcastic expression on Leng Yue's face.
"Zhu Zhu, stop fooling around!" Instructor Bai certainly wouldn't allow them to cause trouble in front of him. "Now, everyone find a seat."
Leng Yue and the other trainees sat down. Instructor Bai then had them introduce themselves to each other.
This batch, including Leng Yue, makes a total of nine trainees: seven boys and two girls. The boys are Zhao Gang, Li Dabao, Zhao Yingjun, Cheng Qian, Qi Hou, Zhang Fei, and Li Shui. The girls are Leng Yue and Zhu Zhu. They are all strength-based, so they were assigned to the same class for training.
Then, Instructor Bai began his lesson, “Everyone here is a power-type user, but the limits of that power differ. Therefore, we must learn to utilize it. For many people, being a power-type user is somewhat impractical, not impressive enough, not cool enough. However, in the face of absolute strength, you don’t actually need so many fancy moves. For example, like this…”
As Instructor Bai spoke, he activated the robot's combat mode. The robot's attacks were powered by advanced weaponry, but Instructor Bai directly and violently destroyed the robot in close combat.
Just as the trainees were all dumbfounded, Instructor Bai added, "See? This is what they mean by 'great effort makes miracles happen'!"
The engineer in charge of the robots was almost in tears. He looked at Instructor Bai with a mournful face and said, "Old Bai, can you please stop being so violent? You're really not the Hulk, okay?"
"Of course not, I'm not a foreigner!" Instructor Bai replied smoothly, without the slightest embarrassment.
Turning around, he looked at the trainees and said, "Of course, we usually wouldn't be so violent when we have a choice, after all, we also have limited funds. So, in this situation, we need to pay attention to combat skills. Come on, Zhang Fei, Li Shui, Cheng Qian, all of you come at me together and gang up on me."
At this moment, Instructor Bai called out several burly-looking trainees and ordered them to attack together. These trainees came to Instructor Bai, each choosing their position and preparing to attack.
"Listen up, you'd better give it your all, or I'll punish you." Instructor Bai stood one against three, looking at the students opposite him. "Alright, what are you waiting for? Attack together!"
At Instructor Bai's command, the three trainees pounced on him like tigers descending a mountain. Soon, the four were locked in combat.
Instructor Bai is a strength-based character, but many people know that his strength isn't the strongest. In terms of sheer physical strength, he alone certainly couldn't match the combined strength of these three trainees. However, when it comes to skill, these trainees are no match for Instructor Bai.
In other words, the trainees compensate for their lack of combat skills with strength and numbers. On the other hand, Instructor Bai's side relies on combat skills to compensate for their lack of strength.
Therefore, this one-on-three match was evenly matched overall, with no one holding a clear advantage. Leng Yue, intrigued, began to watch with great interest.
As the four fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand, the surrounding students held their breath, watching with curiosity how things would unfold. Everyone felt that, given the current trend, these three students would definitely inflict a heavy loss on Instructor Bai. Even if they didn't suffer a defeat in the end, they could certainly hold him off for a long time.
Several trainees couldn't help but gloat as they looked at Instructor Bai, who was surrounded in the middle. Anyone with eyes could see that Instructor Bai was being held firmly by three trainees. Seeing that he was unable to move, some trainees had already started laughing.
Some fearless trainees even egged them on, "What techniques? Instructor Bai, in the face of absolute strength, all techniques are useless! Hahaha..."
One person started shouting and jeering, and the rest of the trainees clapped and laughed along. Of those present, besides those who were fighting, only Leng Yue and the engineer remained silent.
Leng Yue didn't follow suit because she saw that Instructor Bai was clearly holding back. Although he looked disheveled being trapped by three students, a closer look revealed that he wasn't even out of breath or red-faced, and remained quite relaxed. In contrast, the other three, having merely trapped Instructor Bai without doing anything else, were already red-faced and visibly agitated. They were clearly not on the same level!
Engineer Lao Wang, however, chuckled to himself, laughing at these reckless new trainees.
He and Instructor Bai were old acquaintances; the instructor would come every year when new students arrived. He was used to it, and Instructor Bai was known for his vengeance; he wanted to see if those who were shouting the loudest could withstand his retaliation!
The trainees below had gone mad, shouting slogans like, "Down with the instructor! Beat the instructor! Take him down!"
Suddenly, with a loud "boom," before everyone could rejoice, they fell into a deathly silence. Only their hands, still raised and not yet lowered, were left unsure of what to do.
The student lost; Coach Bai defeated him in one move, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up...
