The old man's forehead was covered in black lines, and he said in a low voice, "Reporting to the company commander, that Zhuang Yan... I can't dampen his spirits."
"puff!"
When the second and third squad leaders heard this, they couldn't help but burst out laughing. Old Pao glared at them with annoyance.
Miao Lian also had a smile on his face, but he didn't laugh out loud. After a few seconds, Miao Lian comforted the old soldier, saying, "Squad Leader, I know you lost face in basic training and it's embarrassing, but compared to the honor of the reconnaissance company, what is this little grievance? Don't you think so?"
"I'll say it again! No matter what method you use, as long as there are no serious consequences, I'll clean up the mess for you, understand?"
"..."
The veteran paused for two seconds before straightening up and saying in a low voice, "Yes, mission accomplished."
...
The next day, at the combat training ground, the new recruits were punching the sandbags one by one. These sandbags were different from the professional ones that were covered with a layer of sponge. They were real sandbags, filled with real sand.
"one……"
"kill!"
"two……"
"kill!"
"Punch hard! The sandbags in front of you are your enemies. One more time..."
"kill?"
"Don't act like a little girl. Get out of the way. What you're facing isn't a sandbag, but an enemy armed to the teeth."
"Clap clap clap..."
"kill!"
The veteran impatiently shoved a new recruit aside, then unleashed a flurry of punches, pounding the sandbag with a loud cracking sound. He then roared, "Did you all see that? Come on, again!"
While Lao Pao had his back to them, Chen Xiwa leaned close to Li Ling and whispered, "Have you noticed that Lao Pao seems to have 'come back to life' these past two days?"
Li Ling sneered and said, "Ignore him. If he thinks he's found another project that can suppress us, then I'll leave him with an even more unforgettable memory than last time."
Chen Xiwa smiled with relief. Although he had never witnessed Li Ling's fighting ability, they had played arm wrestling games in class before, and none of them could beat Li Ling.
Therefore, he believed that, in addition to shooting and off-road skills, Li Ling would also be able to crush that mountain cannon in combat.
"one……"
"kill!"
"two……"
"kill!"
"Stop, you're all acting like girls." After shouting twice, the old man stopped him again, scolded him, and then looked at Li Ling and said, "You."
Li Ling realized that Lao Pao was about to fire at him, so he stepped out of the line and stood in front of Lao Pao.
Miao Lian stood calmly on the steps above the training ground, observing the unfolding events.
Li Ling walked up to Lao Pao and stood still. Lao Pao casually said, "Punch me."
Li Ling narrowed his eyes and smirked as he looked at the old gunman in front of him, thinking to himself, "This is your chance to beat me up, and there's even a reward for it. I won't hold back, Sergeant..."
------------
Chapter 33 My round face is so embarrassing!
Li Ling looked at the old gunner waiting for him to fire with a half-smile.
"You really want me to hit you?" Li Ling asked.
"Stop talking nonsense and throw a punch at me!" the old man emphasized.
Li Ling said in a deep voice, "Squad leader, for the past two months, you have been our squad leader and we have been our new recruits. We have always carried out your orders without any compromise. You could say we have kept to ourselves."
"But these past two days you've started picking fights with us again, it's so deliberate. I believe you wouldn't do it without reason, you must have your reasons, so I've been patient these past two days, but..."
Li Ling took a deep breath and continued, "You're going too far. I don't care what your reasons are. You can train us, but if you want to step on us, you should be prepared to be stepped on in return."
"You want to fight, right? No, you want to teach us martial arts, right? Fine! I'll fight you, please don't hesitate to give me your guidance, class monitor."
The old man's eyes narrowed habitually. Li Ling had already said this much, and he was now in a difficult position. However, he admired Li Ling's insight, as he could see that Li Ling was deliberately trying to cause trouble for them.
But there was no other way. Miao Lian had given a strict order that the kid had to cause some trouble, otherwise he wouldn't be able to answer to the authorities. So he finally got serious and the old man cautiously raised his fists, one fist protecting his cheek and the other slightly extended.
"kill!"
Li Ling shouted and threw a straight punch. Lao Pao raised his left arm to block Li Ling's punch, and then threw a right hook punch at Li Ling's abdomen.
To his surprise, Li Ling reacted so quickly. With a flick of his left arm, Li Ling deflected the old man's hook punch.
Just as Lao Pao retracted his left arm, preparing to throw a punch at Li Ling's face, he suddenly felt a pain in his ankle, lost his balance, and fell backward to the ground.
After finishing his college entrance exams, Li Ling spent two months training in the combat sports department of a sports school during the summer vacation. This training, combined with three months of military boxing training in the recruit camp, has resulted in Li Ling's current combat skills being quite impressive.
In simple terms, combat sports are nothing more than a few aspects: strength, speed, stamina, dominance, and resilience.
It's similar to the game data.
With his superhuman physique and relentless training, Li Ling can now take down the old pros with such ease!
