Chapter 371: The First Clash

ting off the car by the roadside, Zhang Xin gazed at the pitch-black expanse of the riverbank and listened to the ceaseless rush of the spring river. She asked in bewilderment, "Didn't someone say the...The arrival was none other than Xiang Tian. When He Ruyao looked up and saw him, the tears in her eyes, like pearls on a broken thread, fell one after another. She choked out, "Instructor Xiang!"

"You silly girl, why are you crying You were just scolded a few times" Xiang Tian grabbed her hand and pulled her up from the ground. He looked up at the wooden wall and said with a smile, "Is this wall very high Everyone else can climb over it, why can't you"

He Ruyao's face flushed red, and she wiped away the tears on her face with a large, open hand. She said in a loud voice: "If it were before, they couldn't compare to me, I could do twenty sets without any problem, but today...today...it's not very convenient!"

As she went on, her voice grew softer and softer. Xiang Tianxin thought to herself, and smiled, "A good friend has arrived"

Having her celestial destiny revealed, He Ruyao felt embarrassed and nodded slightly. She lowered her head, unable to meet the heavens' gaze.

"Why wasn't Captain Cheng informed of the situation"

He Ruyao glanced at Cheng Qiang in the distance and curled her lip: “He’s notorious for being ruthless. In his eyes, there’s no such thing as a female soldier. He wouldn't care what your reason is.”

Seeing the red whip mark on her neck, he couldn't help but ask, "With such hardship here, why do you still insist on staying"

"My home is in a ravine, very poor. Enlisting would help lighten the burden on my family. Besides, Sister Hua is really good to us all, we get along like sisters. It's way better here than at home." He Ruyao smiled ingenuously, then her face flushed again and she instinctively pulled her hand back.

He then noticed that he had been holding her hand the whole time, and with a smile, said, "Wait a moment, I'll use qigong to heal your injury. Then you can try again, I guarantee it will work."

He Ruyu widened her eyes in disbelief and asked, "Can qigong heal wounds"

"Yes, others may not be able to, but I can." Xiang Tian smiled and nodded towards the sky. True dragon energy quickly flowed into He Ruyao's body, treating her whip wounds while also replenishing her energy.

"Oh, so comfortable! Instructor, is this qigong you taught us" He Ruyao exclaimed in surprise.

"No, the qigong you were taught is not like this."

"Oh," He Ruyao said with a touch of disappointment, then slyly added, "Teacher Xiang, could you tell me what that big secret you mentioned last time was Was it teaching us your qi gong that can heal injuries"

Tian smiled wryly. This girl was really too imaginative. He let go of her hand and lightly tapped her head, “Why ask so many questions You'll know when the time comes. Alright, try again.”

He Ru Yao stopped asking and tried to move her arms and legs, happily saying: “This time it’s definitely going to work, Instructor! Look!”

She didn't run, instead she leaped up and grabbed the edge of the wooden wall, then effortlessly flipped over it.

“Hee hee, Instructor Xiang, I'll definitely be the first to cultivate inner qi! Then you have to teach me your healing qigong!” After landing steadily, He Ruyao suddenly blurted out this sentence, then skipped forward with a mischievous grin.

Walking to the other side of the wooden wall, he watched her run forward quickly and couldn't help but smile and shake his head. This girl was fierce indeed, she was truly straightforward and confident, with a certain drive that he found very appealing.

But after a while, Cheng Qiang walked up to him again and said coldly, "Why haven't you left yet"

He ignored his question and instead smiled, saying, "Captain Cheng, you say the qigong I teach them is heretical. I wonder if you dare to have a comparison with me"

Chengqiang let out a cold snort. "Compared to what"

Looking up at He Ruyao who was struggling her way through one obstacle after another, he smiled and said, "You're best at this kind of thing, overcoming obstacles. How about it, are you game"

Chengqiang coldly stared at Xiangtian for two seconds, then suddenly turned his head towards the starting point of the obstacle course and walked. Xiangtian smiled and followed him.

At the starting point, Chengqiang signaled the female soldiers to stop, then turned his head and glanced at Tian. "I'm not taking advantage of you. An obstacle course race, a free-for-all fight, as long as you win one, you have the right to continue teaching them. If you lose both, I hope you don't come near the base gate again."

The female soldiers' eyes widened with surprise upon hearing this, and they quickly gathered together, whispering excitedly amongst themselves. It was clear that they all hoped for Tian to win, but due to Chengqiang's intimidating presence, they dared not voice their opinions too openly.

After finishing the run, He Ruyao returned to the starting point. Hearing the discussions among the female soldiers, a look of surprise appeared in her big eyes. She exclaimed loudly, "Instructor Xiang, keep up the good work! You are definitely the best!"

Cheng Qiang snorted coldly, turned his head and glared at her. He Ruyao didn't care about him, and still loudly cheered for Xiang Tian.

Toward the sky, Xiang Tianxiao nodded with a smile, took off his leather jacket and tossed it into her hand, then said to Chengqiang: "Captain Cheng, how's it going"

Cheng Qiang pointed to the other obstacle cross-country running track next to him and said, "One person on each side, starting at the same time, whoever finishes the course first wins."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the starting line of another track without any warm-up activities and casually stood on the starting line.

Without doing any warm-up, Tian stood at the starting line and told a squad leader, "You call 'Start'."

That squad leader was also very excited. You see, in this training base, no one dared to challenge Chengqiang. Towards the sky was the first person in history.

She held back her excitement, walked between the two people, raised her arms high, and shouted loudly: "Ready... Run!"

As her arm fell, Xiang Tian and Cheng Qiang shot out like arrows from a bow at the same time. They were both incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had both jumped onto the single-plank bridge. The two moved almost at the same pace, neither gaining an advantage over the other.

The

few meters long wooden bridge was quickly traversed, and the two people almost arrived at the net hammock laid on the ground at the same time. Cheng Qiang quickly lay down and skillfully dove into the net hammock. His body, like a nimble fish, twisted left and right while swiftly crawling forward.

Looking at the other side of the race, he was experiencing his first obstacle course. He wasn't very accustomed to the crawling, which required a lot of skill, so his movements were stiff and awkward. He soon fell half a body length behind the lead group.

A group of female soldiers couldn't help but sweat for their instructor, Xiang. He Ruyao even covered her hands over her mouth and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Come on, Instructor Xiang! You're the best!"

However, at this stage, Xiangtian was clearly inferior to Chengqiang. When Chengqiang completely ran out of the net bag, Xiangtian's head had just emerged.

Cheng Qiang glanced at him, a sneer playing on his lips, then quickly accelerated toward the wooden wall.

There was about twenty meters between the net and the wooden wall. At his speed, he practically crossed it in a blink. As long as he successfully cleared the wooden wall, the obstacles behind would be almost nothing to him, posing no real threat at all.

He sneered inwardly, this idiot who popped out of nowhere actually dared to challenge him. He was simply ignorant of his own insignificance.

He didn't just need to lose to Xiang Tian, but he had to make the loss so crushing that Xiang Tian would be completely convinced, leaving him with no face to stay here anymore.

The wind howled past his ears, and a wooden wall appeared five meters in front of him. Cheng Qiang roared, his legs suddenly exerting force, accelerating towards it.

Just then, a figure suddenly flashed from his right and caught up. Chengqiang was startled and turned his head to look. To his surprise, Xiangtian had already caught up.

Toward Heaven's absolute speed was even faster than his!

Chengqiang was greatly surprised, but what came next almost made his jaw drop. Xiang Tian turned his head and smiled at him, then suddenly tapped the ground with his right foot. His entire body shot upwards, like a rocket taking off, flying directly towards the other side of the wooden wall.

Oh my god, are you kidding me! You're flying!

Chengqiang stood there, dumbfounded, watching Xiang Tian step onto the wooden wall and leap over it. He vanished from sight in an instant.

With a resounding boom, he slammed his fist against the wooden wall. picked up the clothes she had thrown to the ground and wiped the sweat off Xiang Tian's body, fanning him constantly, but it was no use. Xiang Tian's condition was worsening; he was getting hotter an...
