Squad leader Hao had a very proud expression on his face as he looked at Qin Fen and Du Peng. The smile within it naturally went without saying.
The soldier of the State of Japan's complexion darkened a bit. Qin Fen had defeated Park Jong Hwan of the State of Korea. He famously sat on the highest throne among recruits in terms of fighting. Today he held the initiative, so there was no way he would run to the State of Japan's living quarters and challenge people. This soldier of the State of Japan clearly wouldn't have the chance to teach Squad Leader Hao's soldiers a lesson.
"Genichi, stand up!" The soldier of the State of Japan suddenly gave a cold shout."Our martial spirits only allows us to stand! If you are still a warrior, you will stand up for me."
Kyokushin Genichi swayed as he stood up. His deathly pale face turned ashen. Squad leader Hao's kick had absolutely not been done lightly. Though the kick hadn't truly injured his body, the pain was still a bit unbearable.
"Little Du, let us not act like fools who seek to impress by feigning more than one's abilities. If you still feel pain, then you don't need to stand up immediately." Squad leader Hao had a look of concern on his face. Along with this, he even scolded the soldier of the State of Japan."The body is the only capital for martial artist. This is something that you cannot wastefully break."
The soldier of the State of Japan let out a humph from his nostrils. He turned around and very refined manner."Genichi, we're going back. When your body is fully recovered, I will bring you over to formally pay a visit of challenge."
"This..." The recruit Du Peng who sat on the ground was someone who rarely spoke. He suddenly open his mouth, a bit hesitantly, "There is another martial artist of the State of Japan in our room. He is unconscious. If it is possible... can you, by yourself, take..."
Puff...
Squad leader Hao simply burst out in laughter. Du Peng was normally quite the cool brother, right now he suddenly used a hesitant tone to ask. No matter how one heard it, it was as if Du Peng was mocking the other party instead of making a reminder in goodwill. It looked like Squad Leader Hao would have to properly educate Du Peng in this ability of his when time permits. It was a sharp weapon that absolutely struck the enemy's morale.
At this time, Qin Fen gave the recruit camp's medical unit to call. He gave them an account of Zha Can's injuries.
"Qin Fen, thank you. However, I won't be challenging you anymore." Zha Can, who laid on the ground, no longer had the domineering aura on his body. It had faded away for the time being. However, his mind, spirit, and energy gave one a certain feeling of growth.
Qin Fen nodded his head."Next time, you won't need to steal money."
"Gotcha." Zha Can smiled."This time he was too arrogant. It's fine just to go to someone's door for a challenge and simply find one's target. What's the point of pushing other people around? To make it look like he is nobility?"
Qin Fen gave a chuckle being very much in agreement. Though the way this Zha Can fought was fatally domineering, he was still open and candid as a person. It's just a pity that Qin Fen had been unable to hold back whatsoever in their fight. After all, the man strength was indeed not weak at all.
It didn't take long for Zha Can to be carried away by the military doctor who had rushed over here.
Squad Leader Hao patted Qin Fen on the shoulder. He spoke with great happiness."Kid, not bad. You really did give us face. Of the young recruits in this recruit camp and the eyes of the seasoned soldiers of the other military regions, the most you can be described as is a recruit who possesses extreme competitive strength. As for the candidate of being the number one recruit fighter, much more people all would lean toward Zha Can or Kyokushin Genichi as their answer. Today, after this fight of yours, you will certainly become utterly famous in this recruit camp of ours."
Du Peng warmed up his chest cavity. He spat out a long dirty breath of energy from his underbelly.
Squad leader Hao turned his head and spoke to Du Peng."You don't have a biochemical beast, correct?"
Du Peng was slightly shock for a moment, but he still nodded his head in acknowledgment to this matter.
"And that's just how it is." Squad leader Hao smiled as he said, "Casting aside all external elements, I look favorably upon you defeating Kyokushin Genichi. However, do you know? Kyokushin Genichi is someone who possesses a biochemical beast. And his beast is stronger than Okamoto Takeshi's level one fusion. His is level two fusion. Actually, Zha Can also has a biochemical beast. It's just that he reveres fairness between martial artists. So he would rather lose a fight than to use it. This is also one the reasons why they were known as the strongest fighters among recruits."
Du Peng could hear the meaning behind squad leader Hao's words. During a crucial moment, it was possible that Kyokushin Genichi might utilize his biochemical beast. If that were to happen, the scales between victory and defeat would instantly be tilted toward one side.
Qin Fen gently furrowed his brow. The price of the biochemical beasts were incomparably expensive. Though he had worked very hard these past days to make money, the money he had accumulated so far wasn't enough to buy a biochemical beast egg. No wonder each of the young generation by Song Jia's side had looked at others with disdain.
These people had received an elite education since they were young. They gained knowledge and experience that was much more vast than that of a normal person. They had a sense of superiority hidden deep in their hearts. They carried the sense usually from the moment they were born. This was something that was very hard to correct.
Du Peng's expression was just as grave. The two words biochemical beast were just like a stab in his heart. It caused his complexion to be very unsightly.
Squad leader Hao looked at Du Peng just as strangely. This young man possessed a strength that was out of the ordinary. Looking at his manners, actions, and bearing, he should have come from a military family with substantial influence and power.
Though a good biochemical beast egg was expensive to the point where it would cost a family fortune, from the perspective of several powerful military families, getting a biochemical beast egg of decent quality wasn't an impossible matter.
Squad leader Hao really didn't understand. Du Peng could be considered a young elite genius. Why did he not use any channels or connections to enter the military? And there wasn't anyone from the top who sent any messages down to here, asking for a bit more special attention towards Du Peng.
Squad leader Hao was master of psychology, but even he was unable to think of a good answer as to why Du Peng would be in such circumstances. He even utilized some of his contacts and channels to go investigate him. There was practically no information at all on Du Peng.
The assembly bugle call rang forth once more, and Squad Leader Hao snap back to reality from his reflection and contemplation. He spoke once more."You two don't need to do training today. Instead, you will make some preparations. You two will immediately start your travel and participate in that training camp."
Du Peng's eyes immediately lit up when he heard squad leader Hao mention the training. The glow caused the image of a wolf encountering meat to emerge in Qin Fen's mind.
Qin Fen looked at Du Peng who got up and left. There were some things he didn't quite understand. Why did Du Peng become this excited when he heard about the training camp? Was he just that anxious to prove himself? If so, why was he so anxious to prove himself?
"Kid." Squad leader Hao walked side by side with Qin Fen."In recruit training camp, even though I can't say that all the best and elite recruits of East Asia are assembled here, they are all still people with decent strength. At the same time, quite a few people have some background. If there are some people whose personalities you get along with, you should go and make friends with them. It will be a lot of help for your future."
Qin Fen nodded his head in agreement."Squad Leader, I think I heard some news pertaining to my older brother."
"Oh? Is that so? Where is Old Qin?"
Squad Leader Hao expressed interest. Clearly, his excitement was in no way inferior to when Du Peng heard of the training camp.
Qin Fen spoke, not quite daring to be totally confident in his answer, "I think he went and became a soldier for hire..."
"Ohhhh, a soldier for hire, eh..." Squad leader Hao shook his head over and over."According to Old Qin's personality, it's very likely he is just doing it as a hobby. It is like how he played with guns and mobile armors back in the day. When his interest runs out, he will probably switch to something else, right?"
"It needs to be looked into farther." Qin Fen was a bit unwilling. It was with great difficulty that he heard a bit of news pertaining to his brother Qin Zhan. He really didn't want to let this clue go.
"Of course investigations need to be made!" Squad leader Hao changed his tone."I just don't have much hope for this clue, but investigations certainly need to be made. Who knows. We might be able to find information about where he went from such investigations. I really want to have you, who has been trained by us, to defeat your older brother. Fight for our pride, you know."
Qin Fen shook his head over and over. These drill instructors were truly far too dedicated, never forgetting about their revenge all this time. Who knows. Perhaps the reason why his brother left back in the day was because these drill instructors complained too often that he was too strong, and his older brother ultimately couldn't stand it and simply bolted away.
"The training trip this time should be of great help for you." Squad leader Hao said, "It can also be considered a kind of assessment. If you can seize a good placing in a future big tournament, your training performance this time will be recorded and bonus points will be given out to buy the big shots of the East Asian Military Region. Who knows. Perhaps when the recruit training is terminated and assignments are made, there might even be the possibility of you being mixed into the lieutenants or even the captain ranks."
Qin Fen began to rub his fists. Retiring from the military from a position that was lieutenant or higher gave rewards that were far greater than normal.
"Of course, becoming a second class petty officer is more likely than becoming a lieutenant." Squad Leader Hao's lips carried a bit of disdain."Actually, being an executor is still a bit better than being a policymaker."
Qin Fen didn't really care about those things. A second class petty officer was none other than a supervisory official on the battalion level. Though such a role needed to execute the orders of a captain or battalion commander, there wasn't much difference in terms of position between it and the captain rank.
At the very least, there was practically no difference between the two when it came to the pay when leaving the military, which was what Qin Fen was most concerned about.
As recruits, there weren't many things worth packing up. Qin Fen and Du Peng just collected their clothes and followed Squad Leader Hao to walk to the airfield of recruit camp.
An X2 Combat Helicopter, which had speed of over 430 kilometers per hour, was using its propellers to let out rumbling roars. Compared to the helicopter that Qin Fen rode on last time, its performance far exceeded that one by quite a bit.
"Hey! Tit-suckers! Is this your first time seeing an aircraft?" The Air Force personnel who sat at the pilot seat turn his head around and roared loudly, "You guys' eyes are all nearly bulging from their sockets! In a bit, I'll have you guys experience what speed means."
"The X2 combat helicopter has a maximum speed of four hundred and sixty-three kilometers per hour. Before the Federation was formed, the American company Sikorsky Aircraft designed and manufactured this rotary wing helicopter. It was once known as the fastest helicopter in the world." Qin Fen's wooden face quickly gave an introduction."It possesses smart rotor wings, a smart cockpit, stealth ability, optic control, and even six gun barrels. Its firing rate can attai a powerful firepower of around six thousand rounds per minute. Next, the two sides of the X2 each has a hanging weapon frame. They were once used to carry Hellfire antitank missiles, a new kind of rocket equipment. With the emergence of mobile armors, the Hellfire antitank missile's might was greatly lessened. It lies in a half decommissioned state."
The seasoned Air Force soldier of the helicopter was stupefied. A recruit of the Army was able to recognize the model of the helicopter. This was of an extreme difficulty, yet this kid could actually recite all the main functions and fighting strengths of the X2. No wonder he was someone qualified to enter Happy Paradise Island.
The X2 quickly left the ground, and the screams of an aircraft could be heard coming from far away in the sky. A super cool aircraft was engaging in a gorgeous loop, and it quickly descended to the ground.
The soldier of the Air Force who piloted the X2 turned his head and asked, his tone carrying a bit of a test, "Kid, do you recognize that aircraft?"
