Chapter 109: Dare Beat a Veteran Today, Dare Beat the Company Commander Tomorrow (Addendum)

"Good kid, not only do you have a talent for shooting, your hand‑to‑hand combat isn't bad either!"

Cheng Jun crossed his arms, watching with keen interest from the side.

A soldier like this, if he returns to the Sixth Company, must be a key cultivation target.

But the Sixth Company Commander here needs to push harder; otherwise it'll be awkward if they never spar with Gao Feng.

Lu Yang and the burly veteran fought again, exchanging punches and kicks in a back‑and‑forth bout.

In the end, Lu Yang found an opening, kicked the opponent down, and pinned him hard to the ground.

Then Lu Yang switched to a rotation mode, letting one veteran after another challenge him, each one being knocked down in turn.

Occasionally Lu Yang would deliberately show a flaw to lure the opponent in, then pull off a counter‑kill.

Of course, there were times when the bait failed and he was the one knocked to the ground.

Even so, his current level is no worse than the veterans'.

But against those with outstanding hand‑to‑hand skill and rich combat experience, he's still a bit lacking.

Lu Yang learns fast; most of the moves he used earlier were those Zhou Kaidong and Guo Yongwen had once used on him.

The rest he found himself in books and martial‑arts DVDs.

The training unit here has complete teaching facilities, with not only texts but also images.

If you want to learn, operating a tank, a plane, or an excavator is no problem.

Especially a manual titled Black Dragon Eighteen Hands, the Ancient Body Forging Secret Manual; Lu Yang still hasn't fully comprehended it because its techniques are extremely vicious, and it's said to have been banned.

The more it's prohibited, the more Lu Yang treats it as a treasure and wants to study it seriously.

At this moment, Lu Yang, careless for a split second, was knocked down, his face pressed hard to the ground, unable to move.

Just when everyone thought he was finally out of options, a crisp "ka‑da" sound rang out.

The veteran holding him jumped in shock, thinking he'd over‑exerted, and quickly let go.

But the next second Lu Yang spun back and elbowed his face, causing him to lose consciousness and collapse.

The scene left everyone dumbfounded, even Cheng Jun couldn't figure out what had happened.

Lu Yang stood up, gritting his teeth, grabbed his left arm and twisted hard.

A crisp "ka‑da" sounded, and the arm snapped back into place.

Cheng Jun ordered someone to wake the sleeping veteran, then stared at Lu Yang as if seeing a ghost: "Y‑you actually took your own arm off?"

Lu Yang shook his arm, chuckled: "Just a dislocation; battlefield first aid taught me how to relocate a broken arm."

"Then why didn't it stop you from taking your arm apart for fun? Are you crazy?"

"Hehe, it's fine, I can put it back on anyway."

Cheng Jun looked at him as if he were a lunatic.

Damn it, that's too harsh on himself!

To win, he actually faked an arm dislocation!

Even though Cheng Jun has heard of such a move, he never dares to try it on himself; if the force caused a real dislocation, he'd have to go to the Medical Team to get it set—talk about courting trouble.

Besides, he's afraid of the pain!

A normal person, who would take their arm off in training?

From this moment, Cheng Jun vaguely sensed that beneath Lu Yang's refined, delicate exterior lurked a beast‑like heart.

Lu Yang twisted his neck, moved his arm, felt fine, then looked at Wan Baoshan.

"Lao Wan, we haven't sparred yet?"

"I'm not playing, I'm not playing. I can't beat you; can't I just admit defeat?"

Wan Baoshan scrambled backward with all his might, but Lu Yang approached with a wicked grin.

Back when he first arrived, Wan Baoshan had taken good care of him.

Seeing the intensive training about to end, how could he not return the favor?

So Lu Yang rushed forward, wrapped both arms around his waist as if hoisting a bundle of scallions, and slammed him hard into the sand pit.

Wan Baoshan hit the ground, wincing and crying out, "Lu Yang, you have no chivalry, I wasn't ready! Ouch, ouch, you're hitting people, hitting people… This is outrageous, a rookie bullying a veteran!"

"Today you dare bully a veteran, tomorrow you'll dare to beat the Company Commander, the day after you'll dare to strike the Division Commander, and later you might even take a shot that blows the Commander away!"

Lu Yang grinned, laughing heartily.

If that's the real growth path, he'd actually be willing.

Especially the last part—a single shot that takes down the Commander—just thinking about it gets the blood pumping.

Of course, he's talking about exercises; he's only heard that the troops conduct drills, but hasn't actually taken part.

He did hear Guo Yongwen brag that he sniped a Deputy Battalion Commander during an exercise.

Even so, the Lu Yang of the moment sustained some injuries in the veterans' brawl—several bones burned with pain, bruises on his legs and arms.

But that victorious sense of achievement filled him with confidence, as if adrenaline surged, making him feel he could fight all day!

Cheng Jun watched Lu Yang like a chaos‑bringing demon king, and could hardly imagine what the scene would be after he drops to the next company.

They say a rookie joining a company is like an old soldier getting a holiday; with Lu Yang dropping into a company, it's an absolute nightmare for the veterans!

If this training unit could last another half‑month, Cheng Jun feels he'd end up being pinned to the ground by Lu Yang!

At that moment, Lu Yang actually fixed his gaze on him, seeming to want to spar with the Deputy Team Leader.

Cheng Jun clenched his fist, glared fiercely: "Yo‑ho, your wings finally hardened enough to challenge me?"

Just as he was about to go up and give Lu Yang a taste, his pocket phone suddenly vibrated.

As he lowered his head, distracted to pull out his pocket, a sudden weightlessness hit, his legs leaving the ground.

Lu Yang circled behind him and threw him down with a side‑back throw.

Just like that, the fall scrambled him completely, his head buzzing.

Damn it, careless, they actually launched a sneak attack while I was unprepared......

Even though Lu Yang pinned him to the ground, Cheng Jun still reached out a hand, pulled out his phone and glanced at it.

Seeing the content above, Cheng Jun's face instantly changed, shouted "Let go", and Lu Yang immediately released him.

After Cheng Jun stood up from the ground, he brushed the sand off himself and seriously pointed at about ten people.

You, you, you guys, go back to the dorm immediately, change into civilian clothes, and go on official duty with me! Lu Yang too!

What's up, deputy?

When going back to change clothes, Lu Yang curiously asked whether something had happened.

When we used to go on official duty, it wasn't like this; why does it look like we're going to war?

Cheng Jun put on a pair of sports pants, anxiously explained: "Your Guo team and the target were eating barbecue outside, when thugs in a private room started harassing a little girl. The other side has a few people, looks a bit like local bullies."

He's afraid one person can't hold them down, so he asked us to go over and help hold the scene!

What the hell, going to fight!?

More or less!

Lu Yang's excited face turned red.

We can beat people up now, finally we can beat people up, hahaha!

Still, it's righteous to beat up a bunch of thugs, no psychological burden at all...

About ten short‑haired guys quickly changed clothes, and Cheng Jun borrowed a van from the Cook Squad, pulling the big rig and preparing to leave!

At this moment, Wan Baoshan in the team nervously asked, "Could there be any danger, can we bring guns?"

Cheng Jun directly gave him a handful of peanuts: "A bunch of thugs, are they worthy? Just bring a pair of fists, that's enough, Lu Yang..."

Go!

You've always wanted real combat, right? This is the best training opportunity, but watch your moves and don't overdo it!

Yes!

The vehicle started, carrying about ten short‑haired guys, quickly performed the Training Section.

Inside the vehicle, Lu Yang was so excited he couldn't help but want to laugh, his two fists itching.

The other veterans at this moment were just like him, each with fists clenched, eager to eliminate the villains and bring peace.

Serving in the troops, training daily honed a set of skills, just waiting for the day a chance comes to put them into action.

This time, finally they got the opportunity!

About ten thugs, even bullying a little girl, doesn't that merit a collective Third‑Class Merit when we return?!

If the other side brings weapons, draws a knife, or even causes Guo Yongwen a slight injury or something.

Then that would be assaulting active‑duty soldiers, and a Second‑Class Collective Merit is possible!

Everyone wore a snarling grin, daydreaming, hoping those thugs could put up a little resistance!

They had just been lectured by Lu Yang, now seething with anger, each one's bones itching with hatred...
