Not that bad? Still dare to mutter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su tilted his head and raised a hand to his ear—he wasn’t listening to anyone; this was just him talking to himself…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t resent it, and don’t lose heart. Times have changed. So many new brothers and sisters have arrived. Everyone knows the Yama Legion is the strongest fighting force on Tianma Yu. You carry this title, enjoy all these privileges—you must know your place! This is the burden of being an idol. If any of you feel weighed down by it, you can voluntarily shed it. Leave the Yama Legion, and we’re still brothers. You can still live on Tianma Yu—nothing changes. But when those people look at you then, their eyes won’t be kind. Anyone feeling too much pressure and wanting to quit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not quitting—I’m strong as hell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The responses were sparse; most stood firm. Often, self-motivation isn’t enough—you need an external force to push you. The title of Yama Legion is perfect for that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su nodded at their reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m giving you a heads-up: in a few days, we’ll reshuffle all combat personnel—not touching the Yama Legion, but finalizing the Elite Squad and Reserve Team for standardized training. Don’t let the Elite Squad beat you into the dirt—that’ll be a huge embarrassment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… Brother Su, I… I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up, don’t give me any excuses!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Lue opened his mouth to say something, but Zhang Su cut him off: “I know some of you have special skills—Lue plays electronics, Guo Dachao fixes cars, Jia Shiqin understands electrical work, Yu Wen makes bombs—but I still say this: except for those like Yu Wen, whose physical condition prevents it, everyone must improve their combat strength!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing nearby, the two non-official members, Ke Zhiyu and Zhou Hao, exchanged glances. The Yama Legion truly hides dragons and tigers—even the seemingly frail chemistry teacher can make bombs to kill zombies. That set the entire team’s floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When even the weakest-looking members show remarkable ability, the rest can’t slack off—like Yu Qing, Pei Lan, Zhong Xiaoshan, and the deceptively unassuming Zhao Xue in the Yama Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of several women were etched with determination, unconsciously pressuring the men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough pep talk. Now, let me introduce two new teammates: Ke Zhiyu and Zhou Hao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zhang Su pointed to Liu Tianji’s side and Ju Wuying’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello everyone! I’m Zhou Hao—Hao with the water radical, not the sun Hao. Currently a probationary member of the Yama Legion. Please take care of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hao greeted everyone warmly, then bowed deeply. His speech and gestures carried a strong anime vibe—he thought “probationary member” sounded bad, so he changed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Zhiyu wasn’t as outgoing as Zhou Hao, but he wasn’t shy either—he waved to the group: “Hello, I’m Ke Zhiyu, a temporary member of the Yama Legion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Zhang Su personally vouched for them, the others accepted them readily, smiling warmly—except one person, who showed a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Xiaoshan stood among the crowd, frowning slightly. Unlike her usual down jacket and thick pants, she wore a neat training outfit. The name Zhou Hao felt familiar to her—but before she could place it, Zhang Su spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, introductions done. No more talk—Ju Wuying, lead the training!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhang Su stepped aside, clearing the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! You! Sister Orange, awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hao had never known Ju Wuying was their instructor—his jaw nearly dropped. She didn’t walk straight to the front. Instead, she circled to Zhang Su’s side, glanced at Zhou Hao, and said calmly: “I don’t like that person following me around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a blunt display was the most direct form of communication—no roundabout refusal, saving time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone held their tongues. Between the strongest and second-strongest, who were they to interfere?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hao awkwardly rubbed his hands, unsure what to say. He was usually sharp—was he really that annoying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That morning, when he learned the person he’d be meeting was a woman from Japan, he’d been thrilled—he loved anime culture and thought they’d have something to talk about. But after he chattered on for ages, she didn’t utter a single word to him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su paused for a second, then smiled: “Hey, you can’t do that. Greater power means greater responsibility. You’re the strongest in the Yama Legion, and your daily duties are light—so you’re the one who trains the newcomers. Zhou Hao’s quick-witted. If you don’t understand something, ask him—he won’t let you down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ju Wuying stared at Zhang Su for five or six seconds, then rolled her eyes and walked to the front of the group. Without a word, she shed her outer garment and began today’s training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ju-style martial arts training left newcomers humbled. After just the warm-up, Zhou Hao was nearly collapsed. When he learned the real training hadn’t even started yet, he had no strength left to groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw Ke Zhiyu—the other temporary member—he froze. All he could think: how is he doing this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Zhou Hao—even many Yama Legion members who noticed Ke Zhiyu’s performance were stunned. His execution nearly matched veterans who’d trained for months!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very front, Zhang Su, Zhao De, Lu Yu, and Chen Hanzhou kept perfect pace with Ju Wuying, never cutting corners, pushing every movement to its limit. Soon, sweat streamed down their faces, steam rising from their heads—all except Zhang Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the crowd were also those with iron will and strong bodies: Zheng Xinyu, Zhao Xue, Pan Guoliang, Guo Dachao—and even Liu Tianji, who’d once been the weakest. Even the most struggling—Pei Lan, Zhong Xiaoshan, and Wu Lue—clenched their teeth and held on. Form didn’t matter—just keep going!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yama Legion’s training intensity was beyond ordinary imagination. Only three could remain calm and effortless: Ju Wuying, Zhang Su, and Ke Jihao…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Yama Legion gathered outside the mountain stream, luck arrived—it was obsessed with training. During the days Zhang Su led the team into town, it never missed a session, showing up daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its tiny figure in the corner mimicked human movements strangely. No one paid attention—but it was utterly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three hours passed in a flash. Afternoon training ended; dusk had fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hanzhou noticed Liu Tianji and Ke Zhiyu’s hands—“Huff… huff… huff…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy breathing filled the air. The weak leaned on their knees, like defeated dogs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su ordered no one to lie down—if he didn’t, everyone would’ve collapsed on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, training’s over for today. Dinner’s coming—don’t be late. Go get cleaned up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su felt fully energized—he’d activated his second energy slot. He still had 89% left, even better than Ju Wuying! With the energy slot’s boost, training effectiveness was extraordinary—impossible to quantify, but roughly triple that of an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his command, everyone dragged their exhausted bodies toward their quarters, too drained to speak. Even farewells felt like wasted effort—even glancing at a teammate felt unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1157,"2026-06-20T15:15:17.100Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","19e993d2b0044cb96e4d9681a8ad041823863efa0adca307b712edd7117909e5","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-608","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-606",694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-cover.jpg"]
