Chapter 114 I Practiced for Less than a Year

2072 Words
As Gao Feng moved, Lu Yao remained motionless. "Look, that kid must be scared out of his wits by Gao Feng, right? He's not moving at all. He was waiting to be beaten up!" "F*ck, are all the staff officers in our military region stupid like this?" "He should hurry up and get out of the Elite Team of the logistics company. Otherwise, we will lose face if this news is spread out." "..." Those comrades who didn't think highly of Lu Yao were also discussing animatedly at this time. Gao Feng listened to their discussion happily. When he looked at Lu Yao, he felt that Lu Yao was like a punching bag. He knew how to hit a punching bag. He knew he should hit it from a certain angle so as to inflict the most pain. When Lu Yao heard the words of these soldiers who were going to be his teammates, he was not angry. Instead, he was a little happy. Although Lu Yao was not very good at handling interpersonal relationships, he knew that the more these people paid attention to strength and the franker they were, the easier it was for him to get along with them. As long as he displayed a small part of his strength today, it should not be difficult for him to integrate into this group. "Be careful. I'll make my move!" Gao Feng looked at Lu Yao who was dumbstruck. He couldn't bear to make a powerful move and defeat his opponent so effortlessly. Therefore, when he attacked Lu Yao, not only did he reduce his force, but he also warned him in advance. Unless there was a huge gap between their strengths, Gan Feng shouldn't have done such a thing at all. Gao Feng's teammates thought that he was making things easier for Lu Yao and he did not even use one-tenth of his usual strength. His fist had been aimed straight at Lu Yao's face, but after Gao Feng saw Lu Yao standing there motionless, he suddenly changed the direction of his fist. His body slightly tilted and his fist moved forward to attack Lu Yao's shoulder. As the referee, Xu Long was the closest to them. He clearly saw Lu Yao's reaction. Ever since he got on the ring, Lu Yao had been calm and collected. Xu Long was very curious about this young staff officer. He also hoped that he could witness an intense competition. Although Xu Long did not believe that Staff Officer Lu, who was so young, had the power to defeat Gao Feng, he did not think that Lu Yao would be defeated in one move. However, when Gao Feng's fist was less than a meter away from Lu Yao, Lu Yao still did not react. Xu Long began to doubt himself. Was Staff Officer Lu really a weak student who didn't have the strength to fight at all? Almost everyone in the audience could no longer bear to look at what was going to happen next. Some even closed their eyes slightly. Seeing Lu Yao's reaction, Gao Feng further reduced the force of his attack. Thirty seconds passed. There was no sound of Lu Yao falling to the ground as everyone expected. Instead, they heard Gao Feng's surprised voice. "What?" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. They could only see Gao Feng's fist was still in the air, with his whole body maintaining a forward posture. However, there was no trace of Lu Yao in front of Gao Feng. For a moment, they looked at each other in confusion. Xu Long blinked hard, and he felt like he had been dreaming just now. Until Gao Feng withdrew his fist and quickly rushed forward two steps to stabilize himself, everyone understood what had happened just now. They all looked at Lu Yao in disbelief. No one dared to look down on Staff Officer Lu anymore. Some people were even secretly shocked and thought that fortunately, it was not himself who was on the ring. Fortunately, Staff Officer Lu showed mercy. Fortunately... Lu Yao looked at Gao Feng with a face as calm as before the competition started. "How did you do it?" Gao Feng swallowed his saliva and asked. "Secret!" Lu Yao said indifferently. Although Gao Feng was a man of excellent martial ethics and had a high moral character, it was impossible for Lu Yao to tell Gao Feng his secret so easily. What was more, he also wanted to create a sense of mystery so that he could integrate into this group faster. "Alright, then let me see what other secrets you have!" Although Gao Feng knew that he was a bit reckless, after hearing the answer of Lu Yao, he still felt unhappy. Then, he launched another attack. Gao Feng did not hold back any strength this time and he was prepared to end the battle quickly. Because Lu Yao dodged Gao Feng's attack in the blink of an eye, no one could clearly see how he did it. This time, everyone in the audience seats widened their eyes, afraid that something strange would happen again all of a sudden. Xu Long had been these people's captain. From Gao Feng's momentum and the bulging of his muscles, he knew that Gao Feng was really serious this time and he would attack Lu Yao with all his strength. Gao Feng's fist once again rushed towards Lu Yao's face. This time, the audience noticed Lu Yao's movements. It looked like he was practicing Tai Chi. His movements were slow and soft. Compared to Gao Feng's moves, his were totally different. "Be careful!" This time, it was Lu Yao who reminded Gao Feng to be careful. In the blink of an eye, the first exchange of blow between the two had ended. "Crash!" Gao Feng's strong body was like a small boat floating in a vast ocean, swaying as he retreated to the corner of the ring. He only stopped when his body bumped into the side pillar of the ring. What was even more shocking was that the moment Gao Feng's body came into contact with the side pillar, the side pillar was unable to withstand the impact and snapped. Half of the ring, which was close to Gao Feng, suddenly collapsed. The rubber bands used to enclose the ring were all drooping softly. Lu Yao stood where he had been standing, motionless. If he wasn't raising his right hand high, no one would believe that Gao Feng had been hit by him. It was really too shocking. Xu Long could not believe what he saw. He did not believe that such a casual move could have such great power. However, he had no choice but to believe it. Because what happened wasn't just hearsay. He witnessed everything with his own eyes. "Brother Gao, are you alright?" Lu Yao slowly retracted his right fist and let out a long sigh of relief. He slowly walked towards Gao Feng who was sitting feebly on the ground. When Xu Long saw this, he came back to his senses. He hurried to them. He was afraid that Gao Feng would lose control of his temper and do something inappropriate. Gao Feng's expression was wooden. Lu Yao reached out to pull Gao Feng, and Gao Feng reached out his hand. When the two hands touched, Lu Yao exerted force and Gao Feng took advantage of the momentum to stand in front of Lu Yao. What happened completely surprised everyone around because no one expected Gao Feng to behave so calmly. "Captain, can we call it a day?" Lu Yao looked at Xu Long beside him and asked with a smile. "Of course, Staff Officer Lu, you are tired today. Let me take you to the dormitory to rest!" Xu Long quickly replied. Then, he turned to the other comrades and said, "The few of you, continue your training. Today, you have to do one more set of training." After saying those words, Xu Long left with Lu Yao. Normally, such an intense training mission would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of these guys, but strangely, when Xu Long walked out of the logistics company's warehouse, he did not hear anyone complaining. Xu Long couldn't help but laugh at himself when he thought of this. Only now did he understand why He Dong had spoken so highly of Staff Officer Lu before. It seemed that they all knew Staff Officer Lu was much stronger than everyone else in the logistics company. On the way to the dormitory, Xu Long finally couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Staff Officer Lu, you don't seem to have learned martial arts from the army. Did you start practicing martial arts before you entered the army?" "Mostly, yes!" Lu Yao answered politely. "But I see you are not even twenty years old. It is impossible for you to graduate from a military academy at this age. But you are a real staff officer. In this case, you will have to stay in the army for at least five or six years to be promoted to your current position. This is unreasonable. Moreover, you have learned so many martial arts skills before entering the army. This is even more against common sense." Xu Long was a serious person. He guessed Lu Yao's experience according to his knowledge and found that many things had completely subverted his cognition. He was constantly puzzled. "Staff Officer Lu, can I ask how long you practiced before reaching this level?" Xu Long continued to ask. Lu Yao thought about this question carefully. He had planned to say it took him a long time to do this, but after looking at Xu Long beside him, he did not want to deceive him. Then, he said something that made Xu Long so ashamed. "Less than a year!" "Less than a year?" "Yes." Xu Long felt that his brain was buzzing, and his eardrums were a little numb. Later, when his comrades who passed by him greeted him, he did not respond at all. Although he had not personally experienced Lu Yao's strength, he had witnessed the competition between Gao Feng and Lu Yao from a close distance just now. He felt the impact of his fist more clearly than the others. He knew that he would not be able to exchange more than five blows with Lu Yao. He actually used less than a year to master such powerful skills. Was he still human? He was simply like a monster! Xu Long felt that he really couldn't continue to ask. If he continued to ask, he might find out more shocking things about Lu Yao. He decided to explore little by little in the future. This would allow him to adapt so that his heart wouldn't explode out of shock. Xu Long said politely to Lu Yao when they arrived at a single room in the dormitory building, "Staff Officer Lu, this is your dormitory. It was arranged for you according to the requirements of the headquarters. If you need anything, just tell me directly. I will get it for you." Lu Yao took a look and saw that the room was well equipped. The daily necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrush, washbasin, towel and so on were all new. Lu Yao thought to himself that maybe this was the most luxurious room he had ever lived in. Everything was brand new, and everything he needed was available. There was even a TV and a computer. "Thank you, Captain Xu. In the future, just call me Lu Yao or Xiao Lu. During this period of time, I will have to train with everyone else. If you call me Staff Officer Lu, it will make me feel like a stranger. I want to quickly integrate into this elite team. I hope that you will spare no effort to help me in this regard." Lu Yao said half-jokingly. "That's okay, Staff Officer Lu." Xu Long suddenly saw the smile on Lu Yao's face and remembered what Lu Yao had just said. He immediately changed the way he addressed him and said, "Lu Yao, have a good rest. I will take you to the training tomorrow morning." "Thank you!" Xu Long made sure that everything Lu Yao needed was there and then he bid farewell to Lu Yao and ran towards the logistics company's warehouse.
