Chapter 12
On an open space of the Logistics Camp ground.
Gu Han came here alone, standing opposite the five members of Wang Shan's squad.
Under the gaze of hundreds or thousands of spectators, the five members of Wang Shan's squad could even clearly feel their own heartbeats, extremely nervous.
Although Gu Han is a transmigrator, this is also his first time encountering such a grand scene.
However, he didn't feel much nervousness; instead, he felt somewhat excited!
Qian Fu came to the center of the field, his gaze sweeping over both sides, and said in a deep voice,
"This is merely a sparring between comrades; light contact only, no heavy blows."
Wang Shan smirked and rubbed his wrist,
"Rest assured, Commander, I will let him keep his life."
Gu Han, however, gave a faint smile, yet his eyes revealed a ruthless hue,
"I hope you can still smile later."
Qian Fu felt another wave of headache, involuntarily raising his hand to his forehead.
In the army, even Logistics Soldiers are full of vigor; if they disagree, they'll show their true martial skill.
Although he had long been accustomed to such things, he still felt a bit of a headache.
However, given his strength, even if both sides went all out, he could intervene in time.
"Since both sides are ready, let's begin this match now."
As Qian Fu's words fell, Wang Shan, holding a solid wooden staff, smirked and charged forward swiftly.
The reason he has absolute confidence to take down Gu Han is...
Not only because he can fight five against one, but also because he is allowed to use a weapon!
Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that unless the strength disparity reaches a certain level...
Otherwise, even a slight difference in realm can be overturned by long weapons, which can change the tide of battle!
A squad simultaneously using long weapons can easily overwhelm martial apprentices of a higher realm!
This also made him too lazy to probe; he simply rushed out first.
The others closely followed behind him, ready to seize the opportunity to surround and attack Gu Han.
Someone in the crowd shook his head; Gu Han hadn't even moved yet—truly clueless about life and death.
Looking at Wang Shan with murderous aura soaring to the heavens, Gu Han merely gave a cold snort, lightly tapping the staff with his toe.
Although he usually uses a battle knife when hunting beasts in the mountains and forests,
but at this moment, obviously using a long weapon would give him the advantage.
Wang Shan saw that he was about to rush in front of Gu Han, but Gu Han still hadn't made any counter move, causing Wang Shan to sneer incessantly.
"Does this Fellow think he's some unparalleled genius?"
"He dares to be so arrogant—truly courting death!"
Gu Chen and his brothers clenched their fists, unable to suppress their worry.
If Gu Han truly faced mortal danger, they would even bear the infamy of breaking the rules to rush in and save him!
Only saw Gu Han's body flash; as Wang Shan's fierce wind bore down, he merely sidestepped to evade the frontal strike, then swept horizontally with his staff.
Wang Shan's face changed dramatically; he hadn't expected Gu Han's speed to be so fast.
Wang Shan's strike had no follow-through; after missing, he had no time to dodge.
Gu Han's staff struck Wang Shan's knee solidly!
Crack!
The intense pain shattered Wang Shan's knee instantly, eliciting a mournful howl!
The crack of breaking bone mixed in the howl sent a tingling numbness through the scalps of all onlookers.
With a booming thud, Wang Shan crashed to the ground, and due to his forward momentum, he slid several meters away!
Several of Wang Shan's teammates were greatly startled, their forward motion instinctively halting there.
Gu Han gave a cold snort; since these people wanted to slander him, he wouldn't hold back!
Gu Han's speed was extreme; in the blink of an eye he reached one of them and thrust his staff!
Not a sweep, but a thrust!
Even a sweep hitting the chest would only cause injury.
After an afternoon of hunting, plus Li Xuan's "gift",
Gu Han's strength, though already comparable to a Second-stage Martial Apprentice, still lacked the power to kill a First-stage Martial Apprentice with a single blow.
But a thrust is entirely different.
If the opponent cannot block it, this thrust could even hope to pierce straight through them!
Seeing Gu Han's merciless thrust coming, that person's face instantly changed.
But in his haste he couldn't dodge; he could only glare fiercely.
"May my fellow Daoist die, not I!"
He grabbed the teammate beside him to use as a shield in front of himself.
The teammate's face changed drastically, "I fuck your horse!"
In his panic, he could only raise the staff and use his forearm to block his vital spots.
Bang!
Gu Han's thrust struck that person's shoulder, sending him flying.
If it weren't for his forearm bone happening to block the thrust, this person's life might not be saved.
"Holy shit, this Fellow is utterly shameless!"
Even if five people added together can't beat one person, that's fine, but when danger strikes they actually pull a teammate to block a shot—really damn shameless!
I want to see who would still be willing to team up with this fellow in the future.
After that person used a teammate's body to block Gu Han's attack, he fled scared out of his wits.
Hearing the mocking voices around, he became so embarrassed his face flushed red, not daring to make a sound.
But even if given another chance to redo, he would still make the same choice.
What's face worth, anyway?
Nothing is more important than one's own life.
Qian Fu stared grimly at the fleeing person.
Even for a logistics soldier, fleeing without fighting is disgraceful!
What's more, letting a comrade block a shot for oneself while one flees!
If a combat soldier did this, they'd surely face military punishment!
Not long after, the other two also collapsed on the ground, wailing in pain, rolling around.
From start to finish, Wang Shan's five-person squad never managed to pose any threat to Gu Han.
Gu Han held a stick in his right hand, coldly scanning those who had previously slandered him,
"Now, does anyone still want to step up and try?"
In the crowd, those who met Gu Han's gaze were terrified beyond measure, instinctively stepping back.
Gu Han smirked contemptuously—just a bunch of rats.
Relying on their numbers, they wanted to smear him with rumors to gain profit.
But when it comes to real action, each one is more cowardly than the last!
Gu Han looked toward Qian Fu,
"Sir Officer, this should clear my name now, right?"
"If even this trash can hunt wolf beasts, then I naturally can too—why waste time in the mountains fighting them one by one?"
"With that time, it's far more efficient to just hunt wolf beasts myself."
Qian Fu first had people help the injured logistics soldiers to receive treatment, then nodded, agreeing with Gu Han's view.
"I announce, in this logistics soldier examination, the first place is Gu Han!"
"Sir Officer, please wait a moment!"
At this moment, doubtful voices rose again from the crowd.
"I think Gu Han is not qualified to be the top logistics soldier!"
Gu Han glanced over with resentful anger.
Even a clay Buddha has three degrees of temper; to repeatedly provoke him like this—do they really think he won't get angry?
