Chapter 123 Captain Hong Yan

It was getting late. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky red. Gradually, a bright moon appeared and hung in the sky.

Tomorrow should be the pre-drill pep rally, and the leaders from the army headquarters will be present. Everyone must be in the very best of their spirits and be fully prepared for the drill.

On the way back to the dormitory, Lu Yao walked at the back of the team, pondering about the upcoming drill.

Huang Bingtian was the initiator. He was the one who invited the famous Falcon Special Assault Team of Shina to participate in this drill. Others might not know what his intention was, but Lu Yao vaguely felt that this should have something to do with him.

As soon as he entered the eighty-ninth army, the army headquarters set up an elite team. He had just trained for one day, but a drill was about to begin. Lu Yao did not believe that all of these had nothing to do with him.

But why would an ordinary person like him be valued so highly by a commander of the military region?

In the past, Lu Yao didn't have anything to do with the army. Otherwise, those people wouldn't have waited for so many years to find him. Now, it was true that Lu Yao had changed. However, all these things happened because Lu Yao had a new heart and was guided by Li Jiang. Lu Yao didn't even tell Lu Yiqian about Li Jiang, so it was impossible for Huang Bingtian to know about his existence.

When he thought of this, a very terrifying reason suddenly came into his mind. If this conjecture of his was true, then this matter would be extremely terrifying.

Lu Yao had just thought of this reason and he forced himself not to think about it anymore. He collected his thoughts and did not dare to think further.

Xu Long looked back at Lu Yao and found that he had been walking at the end of the crowd with his head lowered. He went forward and asked with concern, "Staff Officer Lu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no. Everything is normal. I am alright. Don't worry, Captain Xu." Lu Yao politely replied, "Captain Xu, don't call me Staff Officer Lu in the future. Just call me Xiao Lu. This will make it easier for the team members to accept me. Otherwise, others might think that it was difficult to get along with me!"

"Alright, then I will call you Xiao Lu from now on." This was already the second time that Lu Yao had made this request, so Xu Long agreed with him and said, "Xiao Lu, do you have any questions about this confrontation drill?"

"Captain Xu, can you tell me about the achievements of the Iron Triangle of the Falcon Assault Team? Judging from your expression today, I think you should know some information that Officer Wang and Wang Shi don't know, right?" Lu Yao asked in a low voice when he saw that the other members were already quite far away from the two of them.

"I really didn't expect you to find out at that time. Xiao Lu, sometimes I really wonder if you are really only 18 years old." Xu Long said in surprise.

"Of course, I am an eighteen-year-old boy. I just finished taking the college entrance examination. I should be going to college soon." Lu Yao knew that he could not hide these things for long. Sooner or later, Xu Long would know. Instead of waiting for him to discover those things bit by bit, it would be better for Lu Yao to tell Xu Long frankly.

Although it had only been two days, Lu Yao had already been accustomed to the aura of the group of elite soldiers around him. He felt that when staying with such people, he felt especially relaxed. He had completely accepted these people.

"Xiao Lu, you are really the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. You always appear frank, trustworthy, and noble. I really hope you will stay here forever." Xu Long said emotionally.

Lu Yao did not say anything because he knew that it was impossible for him to stay here. This was also something that he had discussed with Huang Bingtian. They also had an agreement for this training.

"Let's get back to the point. I can tell you everything I know about your question just now. I hope that I can help you with the coming confrontation drill." Xu Long knew that his thoughts were somewhat unrealistic, so he simply didn't stick to this topic. He replied, "Hong Yan is the captain of the Falcon Assault Team. He is the most excellent commander in all the special assault teams that I have ever seen. In the eight years when he was the captain of the Falcon Assault Team, they had never failed. They won every confrontation exercise and combat mission."

"Once, as the soldier king of special forces in Shina, he participated in the training and examination of the International Hunter School. He graduated with excellent results. On that international stage, he perfectly displayed what the special force soldiers are like in Shina." Xu Long tried his best to tell Lu Yao what he knew. "And he also has a deep relationship with the Xindu Military Region. Let me put it this way. In a military exercise three years ago, Xindu Military Region and Xijing Military Region sent several armies to participate in the confrontation drill. The momentum was unprecedentedly spectacular. However, under such circumstances, the Falcon Assault Team led by Hong Yan achieved a critical victory that determined the final result of the exercise."

"In addition to his commanding ability, Hong Yan's personal strength is also formidable. He is the number one expert wrestler and the number one expert shooter in the Xijing Military Region. He has countless glorious titles." Xu Long paused after he finished speaking. He wanted to wait for Lu Yao to digest what he had just said.

Lu Yao was lost in thought when he heard this. He felt that Hong Yan might be the strongest opponent he would meet. For a moment, he wished the confrontation drill would start sooner.

"Captain Xu, what about the other two people?" After one or two minutes, Lu Yao continued to ask.

"I am not very familiar with Su Li and Tie Feinan. I only know that they joined the Falcon Assault Team a few years ago. It is said that they participated in the selection with Gao Feng and the others, and finally succeeded in entering the Falcon Assault Team. Although the two of them have been very famous in all the special assault teams in the past two years, I have not really seen their abilities. So I am really not sure about their strengths." Xu Long said.

"Captain Xu, are you saying that you once fought with Hong Yan? Can you tell me the story between you two?" Lu Yao keenly caught some hidden information in Xu Long's words and asked.

"You brat. You are so smart. You even found out about this." Xu Long smiled and said, "That's right. I fought with Hong Yan once, and that was when I was in the Falcon..." Xu Long told Lu Yao about his personal experience in detail.

"Captain Xu, the other team members don't know about your experiences, right?"

"Of course not, it's not a very glorious thing. Why do I have to make it public?"

"Well, that is nothing. If they knew about your experiences, they would definitely be extremely shocked!"

"..."

Lu Yao and Xu Long chatted for a long time in Lu Yao's dorm room. Xu Long didn't leave until the lights-out horn sounded.

It was already very late. The other members had already washed up and gone to sleep, but Lu Yao did not immediately fall asleep. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed and cultivated for a long time.

He used the See Light Method and earnestly guided the innate spiritual power to travel through his major acupoints and meridians. He only stopped when he felt sore all over his body.

In the beginning, the pressure of the first layer of restriction made Lu Yao feel as if he was carrying something weighing five hundred kilos on his back. He felt abnormally hard making every move. However, after a day of trying and comprehending, he could use the innate spiritual power more deftly. That kind of exhausted feeling had lessened a lot.

In Li Jiang's words, when Lu Yao could no longer feel this layer of pressure, then he would be able to completely grasp how to apply his innate spiritual power. At that time, he would be able to learn some simple immortal arts.

Such as lightness skill and using charms.

The night passed quietly. The next day, just as dawn broke, an orderly woke Lu Yao up and asked him to go and gather at the logistics warehouse.

Lu Yao knew that today's pre-drill pep rally would be extremely important. He quickly washed up and ran towards the assembly point. On the way, he met Gao Feng and the others who were also in a hurry to gather there.

Lu Yao observed everyone's expressions and knew that his comrades must not have slept well last night because they all had black circles around their eyes.

When Lu Yao arrived at the logistics warehouse, he did not see any members of the Falcon Assault Team. Lu Yao guessed that they might not be attending this meeting this morning.

Huang Bingtian was here. Besides Wang Ping, there were two officers that Lu Yao had never seen before standing beside Elder Huang. Moreover, judging from their clothes, it was obvious that their ranks were not low.

Xu Long shouted the slogan and quickly gathered the team. After the team members shouted the slogan loudly, everyone felt in high spirits. Even Lu Yao felt his passion burning and he was in a good mood.

This was the first time something like this had happened during the time that he was not cultivating.

"Comrades, let me introduce the leaders who came to participate in our pre-drill pep rally today. This is the Chief of Staff of the Xindu Military Region's combat department, Major General He Bing. This is..." A fair-complexioned officer standing beside He Dong with gold-rimmed glasses introduced the leaders behind him. When he introduced Huang Bingtian, everyone was in awe.

Lu Yao could clearly see their expressions. It was not because of Huang Bingtian's rank or position. The soldiers held him in high esteem out of respect for their Chief and the admiration for an old soldier who had devoted his life to the military career.

After the fair-complexioned officer finished introducing all the leaders, he took two steps back and invited He Dong to speak.

He Dong's speech was relatively short. He acknowledged that the soldiers worked hard in everyday training. He hoped that everyone would work harder in the future training and make themselves stronger, and something like that.
