FVN Chapter 78 Military Training: Instructor Wang!
Chapter 78 Military Training: Instructor Wang!
On the playground of Jiangzhou University, dust was swirling everywhere in the hot wind.
Zhang Qi was bent over, his hands gripping his knees tightly, his forehead covered in sweat.
Sweat poured down his face like raindrops, soaking his camouflage uniform completely, as if he'd been pulled out of the water.
After doing five hundred standard push-ups, his calves were trembling and his lungs felt like they were about to explode.
Looking at Lu Jingchen next to him, he stood there with his hands in his pockets.
Even the hem of his camouflage uniform wasn't ruffled at all, and there wasn't a hint of redness on his face; his expression was completely calm.
It was as if the person who had just run ten kilometers and done five hundred push-ups was not him at all.
The freshmen who had gathered around to watch the spectacle fell into a deathly silence.
The next second, it exploded into chaos, with deafening screams and shouts erupting.
"Holy crap! Brother Lu is awesome! He completely outclassed the instructor!"
"What kind of humanoid cheat code is this?! Its physical abilities are outrageous!"
"A top student with over 700 points can even outsmart the drill instructors during military training—it's a complete game-changer!"
Zhang Qi waved his hand, his face turning green, feeling both helpless and frustrated.
He had served in the army for over a decade, and this was the first time he had been thoroughly humiliated by a nineteen-year-old college student.
They've already lost face completely; there's no use in being stubborn anymore.
Zhang Qi spoke with a wry smile:
"Alright, alright! Stop howling!"
"Isn't it enough that I'll approve your leave slip? Four days off, isn't that enough?"
"I completely give up. Are you some kind of psychopath?"
"Your physical abilities are unfathomable; I've never seen such a ruthless person in the army."
Lu Jingchen smiled faintly and gave Zhang Qi a standard military salute.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Instructor. I will thank you in advance."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the playground, his back view very dashing.
He didn't even turn his head, leaving a group of freshmen behind him watching his back.
Her eyes were filled with undisguised admiration and awe, and she regarded him as the campus heartthrob.
The school cafeteria was packed with people and noisy at lunchtime.
Lu Jingchen and Su Muyue sat in the corner, with freshly prepared food in front of them.
Su Muyue, holding a tray, blinked her bright eyes and looked at him with a gossipy expression.
"The whole school is buzzing about it now, saying you've even managed to beat the elite military instructor to a pulp."
"You're really something, Lu Jingchen. You've been hiding it for so long."
"But speaking of which, what exactly are you going to do after going through all that trouble to make a bet with the instructor and ask for leave?"
Lu Jingchen picked up a piece of food, his expression calm and his tone light.
"Go participate in a competition, the Martial Arts Alliance Tournament of the Seven Provinces of Jiangnan."
Su Muyue's eyes lit up instantly, and she slammed her chopsticks down on the table.
He was instantly energized, like he'd been injected with adrenaline.
Su Muyue said excitedly:
"The Martial Arts Alliance Tournament?! The life-or-death struggle for those cultivation families of Jiangnan?"
"How could I miss out on such a great event! I want to go too!"
She immediately put down her chopsticks, her little brain racing as she tried to come up with an excuse to ask for leave.
"I'll go ask my instructor for leave right away! I'll just say... um, that I haven't been feeling well these past few days and need to go home to rest!"
"Anyway, our instructors are easy to talk to, they'll definitely approve it!"
Lu Jingchen sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead.
"You are the young lady of the Jiangnan Sword Sect, so it's much easier for you to ask for leave than for me."
"I still have to gamble with the instructor on physical fitness, but you can just make up a lie and that's it. This is a clear case of double standards."
Su Muyue looked at him with a grin, shaking his arm as if she were being coquettish.
So, are you going to take me or not?
"I promise I won't cause you any trouble, I'll just watch the show quietly, and I definitely won't run around!"
Seeing her like this, Lu Jingchen had no way to refuse and could only nod.
"Alright, alright, I'll take you there."
"The Bai family will come to pick me up tomorrow morning. Just wait for me downstairs at my dorm."
"Don't be late, or no one will be waiting for you."
Su Muyue instantly beamed with joy, her eyes curving into two little crescent moons.
"It's a deal! Whoever's late is a little dog!"
"I promise I'll be there on time tomorrow, and I definitely won't hold you back!"
The next morning, the sun shone brightly and the air was crisp and refreshing.
A black Maybach and a Rolls-Royce slowly came to a stop downstairs in front of the male dormitory building at Jiangzhou University.
Her aura was so powerful that passing students couldn't help but turn around and secretly take pictures.
Lu Jingchen, carrying a simple backpack, stood by the roadside with Su Muyue, waiting.
Su Muyue wore a simple casual outfit and had her hair tied in a high ponytail, looking refreshing and pretty.
The car door opened, and Jiang Zhenbang, dressed in a custom-made Tang suit, was the first to step out of the car.
She spotted Lu Jingchen immediately and was about to greet him with a smile when she caught sight of Su Muyue beside him, and she stopped in her tracks.
Jiang Zhenbang asked with a puzzled look:
"Brother Lu, who is this?"
"Why didn't you say beforehand that you were bringing a friend?"
Lu Jingchen remained calm and casually explained:
"A friend of mine also wants to see this Martial Arts Alliance Tournament."
"I'll just bring her along, it won't cause any problems."
The other car door was also opened, and Chu Hongyuan got out of the car.
He glanced sharply at Su Muyue and instantly sensed the restrained spiritual energy emanating from her, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Chu Hongyuan immediately cupped his hands in greeting to the two of them and spoke politely:
"I didn't expect this young lady to be one of us."
"His aura is restrained, and his foundation is solid. He is indeed a promising young man. Not bad at all."
Jiang Zhenbang was stunned on the spot, staring blankly at Chu Hongyuan.
"Patriarch Bai, what did you just say? This young lady is also a fellow cultivator?"
Su Muyue smiled gracefully and nodded slightly to the two of them.
"To be honest, my grandfather is Su Zhennan."
"I'm just going along with Lu Jingchen to join in the fun, so there's no need for formalities, you two."
The air around them seemed to freeze the moment those words were spoken.
Even the wind seemed to have stopped; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
As the close-up shot zoomed in, Chu Hongyuan's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with astonishment and shock.
I froze on the spot, almost thinking I had misheard.
Chu Hongyuan reacted instantly, bowing even lower and speaking with utmost respect.
"I see! My apologies for not recognizing you!"
"I never imagined that Miss was actually Grandmaster Su's granddaughter! Please forgive my rudeness earlier!"
Jiang Zhenbang also gasped in shock, his mind going blank for a moment.
Su Zhennan! He's the pillar of the Jiangnan Sword Sect, a top figure in the entire Jiangnan cultivation world!
His face instantly lit up with an even more enthusiastic smile, even showing a hint of barely concealed excitement.
Jiang Zhenbang quickly stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, showing great enthusiasm.
"Oh dear! It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple; we're all family now, we don't even recognize each other!"
"Brother Lu, Miss Su! Why don't you two ride in my car?"
"My car has a spacious and comfortable back seat! I'll just sit in the front passenger seat! I definitely won't disturb you two!"
Lu Jingchen paused for a moment, then hesitated before speaking:
"This... isn't that a bit much? It's too much trouble for you."
Jiang Zhenbang immediately became anxious, fearing they wouldn't agree, and quickly spoke up:
"No trouble at all! Not trouble at all!"
"It's my honor to give you two a ride! Don't be so polite!"
Lu Jingchen glanced at Su Muyue beside him, and seeing her nod with a smile, he agreed.
"Then I'll have to trouble Chairman Jiang."
After saying that, the two walked toward Jiang Zhenbang's Rolls-Royce.
Jiang Zhenbang quickly jogged a few steps and personally opened the back door for the two of them, showing the utmost respect.
Chu Hongyuan and Jiang Zhenbang exchanged a glance as they watched this scene.
Both of them were filled with barely concealed excitement, and they were completely at ease about this Martial Arts Alliance Tournament.
With Grandmaster Lu Jingchen in charge, victory was already assured.
Now that they've also teamed up with Miss Su from the Jiangnan Sword Sect, not only will they be able to hold onto their territory, but they could even take the top spot in Jiangnan!
This deal was incredibly profitable!
