Chapter 406: Chapter 406 Instructor
The soldier knocked on the door, from inside came an elderly voice. The soldier cracked the door open and respectfully said to Li Xiaoyao, “Mr. Li, please come in.”
Li Xiaoyao pushed the door and walked in; the office was about fifty square meters, simply decorated, with a wooden sofa set. Cheng Dongliang, dressed in military uniform, sat behind the office desk by the window.
“You’ve arrived,” Cheng Dongliang stood up and approached, sat down, and poured two cups of tea, saying, “Xiaoyao, give it to me straight, what’s your current cultivation level?”
As the Military Region Commander of Lu Province, Cheng Dongliang paid special attention to Ling City. Especially the cultivators from Ling City, each and every one of them was on the monitoring list.
Yun Feiyang considered himself a mighty cultivator but he didn’t realize that all his actions were under national surveillance.
When Cheng Dongliang learned that Li Xiaoyao had forced Yun Feiyang into a disgraced retreat, he was shocked. But then he soon came to terms with it, for while Yun Feiyang was indeed powerful, Li Xiaoyao was the one who had managed to kill Li Shisan. With this comparison, it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker at a glance.
“Spirit Cultivation Realm,” Li Xiaoyao did not conceal his cultivation level.
“Spirit Cultivation Realm!”
This result was a bit lower than Cheng Dongliang had expected, but after careful consideration, he couldn’t help feeling deeply uneasy.
As far as he knew, Li Shisan was a powerful cultivator of the Eighth Rank in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, and with a mere First Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, Li Xiaoyao ferociously killed a cultivator of the Eighth Rank. This in itself was an extremely terrifying combat prowess.
If Cheng Dongliang knew that Li Xiaoyao hadn’t even broken through to the Spirit Cultivation Realm when he killed Li Shisan, he would probably be gaping in astonishment at this moment.
Even so, Cheng Dongliang was still filled with shock, looking at Li Xiaoyao with an extremely strange expression.
He suddenly realized how unfamiliar Li Xiaoyao was. The first time he met him, he was just a cultivator of the Qi Refining Realm, yet in these short few months, this young man who he once thought had great potential had grown to a level far beyond his reach.
Cheng Dongliang felt that the only right decision he had made was not to become Li Xiaoyao’s enemy. Offending a cultivator who could grow even stronger was not a wise move.
After draining a cup of tea, the two walked out of the office. Immediately, a soldier approached and said, “Military Governor, the helicopter is ready. Shall we depart now?”
“Hmm,” Cheng Dongliang nodded, glanced at Li Xiaoyao, and said, “Those lads might be somewhat unruly. You don’t have to spare my feelings, manage them however you see fit.”
Li Xiaoyao simply responded and didn’t pay it much heed.
He had come here today to give Cheng Dongliang face, but since he was here, he wouldn’t deal with things perfunctorily; he was naturally going to show some genuine skill.
There was an open space at the headquarters, and a helicopter was parked on it. The hurricane generated by the high-speed rotation of the rotor blades blew Li Xiaoyao’s long hair back. His black eyes and hair naturally exuded a strange and magical power.
The two boarded the helicopter, where a man and a woman had been waiting inside. Upon seeing Cheng Dongliang, they respectfully said, “Military Governor.”
“Hmm, this is Mr. Li,” Cheng Dongliang indicated Li Xiaoyao and said.
The two again respectfully greeted Li Xiaoyao, “Mr. Li.”
Li Xiaoyao nodded slightly and then leaned back in his seat, eyes closed in feigned slumber, the very image of a cool and aloof male god. In reality, however, his mind was reliving the extremely sensual moment he had shared with Ye Qinglian that morning.
Seeing Li Xiaoyao’s indifferent attitude, the two couldn’t help but frown secretly, their impression of him slightly marred.
Cheng Dongliang observed all this and simply smiled faintly, without offering any explanation to the two.
The training base was located in a suburb 70 kilometers outside of Ling City, a desolate area with no human habitation, which had been taken over by the military for training purposes.
The Long Chi Troop was the spearhead troop of the Lu Province military region, and this troop had achieved countless battle honors, many of which had been adopted as textbook standards and implemented throughout the entire military region.
There were ten military regions, and each had its own spearhead troop.
For Lu Province, it was Long Chi, for Jindu, it was Dragon Group, and for Cangzhou, it was Cang Wolf.
Every year, the ten military regions held an internal comparison event, which was essentially a competition among the military regions.@@novelbin@@
As the representative of Lu Province, Long Chi had always attained high ranks in past competitions, even earning the honor of three consecutive first places.
However, in recent years, for some unknown reason, Long Chi always fell behind in the rankings, trailing the other military regions by a large margin.
As the Military Governor of the Lu Province military region, it was a stain on his reputation when Long Chi achieved poor rankings.
During this time, Cheng Dongliang had invited many famous instructors, attempting to properly train these young soldiers, yet none proved to be effective.
It was only later that Cheng Dongliang understood it wasn’t that the members of Long Chi were weak, but that personnel from other military regions were just too strong.
Recruiting Li Xiaoyao was a move born out of desperation. Non-professionals leading professionals was bound to be criticized by many, but Cheng Dongliang had no better solution.
After all, there must be a reason Li Xiaoyao had become a powerhouse.
The Long Chi Troop was located in the northern area of the base, a group of young men with strong physiques, their bodies covered with all kinds of scars. These were their battle honors. They were also an affirmation of their strength.
“Mu Tou, did you skip breakfast this morning? You’ve got no strength! Let’s go again!” The man stood over two meters tall, fists clenched and ready, muscles tense, as he yelled at the man in front of him.
Mu Tou shook his fists and said with a grimace, “Jin Gang, your skin is truly indestructible. My punch could kill an elephant, yet it can’t make you take even half a step back. You are seriously a freak.”
Jin Gang’s stern features softened slightly, as a hint of a smile appeared on his lips, “That’s right, I’ve been practicing the Tempering Body Technique since I was young. My muscles and skin could take on bullets.”
“Buzz buzz~”
The sound of a helicopter’s rotor blades echoed from the distant sky, and everyone looked up to see a helicopter approaching.
“I heard the Military Governor has brought us a new instructor,” Mu Tou said, watching the helicopter.
Jin Gang snorted, bumping his fists together, “I’ve heard as well. And they say this new instructor is very young. I’m not even sure what someone that young could teach us?”
“Maybe how to surrender in battle,” quipped a burly man, eliciting laughter from the group.
Mu Tou nudged Jin Gang, “How about we give our new instructor a bit of a tough welcome later?”
Jin Gang grimaced, “I wouldn’t dare. If I did that, the Military Governor would probably kill me.”
“What are you worried about? I bet the Military Governor got fooled by that young fellow, too. Why else would he hire a kid like that as our instructor?”
“If he doesn’t show some skill, even in front of the Military Governor, I’ll have to teach that kid a lesson.”
