Chapter 132. The Head of the Divine Battle Division Was Blown Away with a Single Punch

[Option One: Faced with the instructors’ mockery, which is deliberately stirring up public outrage to push you into the Recruit Challenge, you choose to keep a low profile and ignore it. Reward: “Sneaky Bro” title

Option Two: To hell with the Recruit Challenge. Leave at once and go back to the dormitory to sleep. Reward: “Low-level Slacker Gift Pack”

Option Three: You know that if you succeed in the Recruit Challenge, you can skip training entirely. For the sake of slacking off more comfortably and enjoying life, you choose to fight for it yourself. Reward: “High-level Slacker Gift Pack”]

Jiang Yichen looked at the three options before him and smiled faintly.

It aligned perfectly with his own thoughts. He had already intended to clear the Recruit Challenge and avoid training.

He had suffered through devilish training in his previous life. There was no reason to go through that nonsense again in this one.

He looked at Su Linyu and said with a smile, “Of course we’re joining. Why wouldn’t we?”

At those words, Su Linyu immediately raised her little fist. “I’ll work hard. I won’t let Brother Yichen lose.”

Jiang Yichen let out a laugh.

Beside them, when Jiang Feng heard that Jiang Yichen was joining as well, the corners of his lips slowly curled upward.

“Man, just wait until you get dealt with. I am really looking forward to seeing your face black and blue.”

He slowly lifted his head, and his gaze met Zhou Yu’s. The latter gave a slight nod, and the corners of his mouth also rose.

Zhou Yu swept a cold glance over Jiang Yichen and Su Linyu’s intimate behavior, and his palm slowly clenched.

You dare steal the woman I secretly admire? You will suffer for it in a moment.

He slowly withdrew his gaze and said sternly, “Good. You still have some courage. Not fearing a powerful enemy is the first lesson in becoming a soldier.”

“The rules of the Recruit Challenge are simple. The Divine Battle Division will suppress their realms to the Fifth Realm, Grandmaster level, and as for you...”

He raised a hand and pointed at the recruits below the stage. “All three thousand of you can attack together. As long as you succeed in the challenge, you will not need to train.”

The moment those words fell, the recruits’ eyes lit up.

After arriving at the military district, they had all heard from the previous batch that the two months of collective training were comparable to hellish devil training.

When these instructors turned ruthless, they were practically inhuman.

If they could avoid training, that was naturally an excellent outcome.

The four of them would be suppressed to the Grandmaster realm, and their batch also had four Fifth Realm Grandmasters. What on earth was there to be afraid of now?

At once, the recruits stared at the Divine Battle Division on the stage with challenging looks in their eyes.

Lingling from the Divine Battle Division leaned close to Mei Xue’er’s ear. “Chief, there are too many of them. This will not be easy, will it?”

The bearded middle-aged man smiled faintly, a smile blooming with a hundred charms that stirred the heart.

“Do not panic, Lingling. Suppressing our realms does not mean we cannot use laws. Remember my mission.”

Lingling nodded slightly.

The bearded middle-aged man’s gaze slowly fell on Jiang Yichen below the stage, his eyes smiling.

That alone made the boys around Jiang Yichen flush red in the face.

Damn it.

Jiang Yichen naturally noticed it. Why is this disgusting thing looking at me?

Could it be that the Divine Battle Division came for me this time?

Whatever. I just need to beat them down.

“Very well. The Recruit Challenge begins now. I only hope you will not be beaten too badly.”

Before leaving, Zhou Yu tossed out one last taunt, then led the instructors to the edge of the training ground to sit down and watch the show.

“Follow Young Master Chu. Let’s charge them and beat them down!”

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted loudly, and the tide of people surged straight toward the main stage.

Chu Xingchen rushed at the very front. A trace of purple-black climbed into his eyes, and with a sweep of his sword fingers, four streaks of sword qi tore through the air.

Mei Xue’er jabbed Mo Yan with her elbow. “Little Yan, hurry and lock them down.”

Mo Yan looked utterly speechless. He slowly lowered the folding fan and spoke seriously. “Freeze!”

The onrushing crowd continued to close in.

His brow twitched, and the broken record started again. “Freeze. Freeze. Freeze...”

He repeated it more than thirty times, yet nothing happened.

Mei Xue’er and the other two were rendered speechless.

Sure enough, when it truly mattered, he could never be relied upon.

“Liang Shan, work with me. Let’s end this quickly, clear out these little shrimps and crab soldiers, and then go straight for the mission target.”

“Yes, Chief.” Liang Shan, the man in the gas mask, nodded.

Mei Xue’er took a leaping step forward, but instead of landing steadily, he slipped and fell to the ground.

He raised his head weakly, touched his barrel-thick waist, and put on a pitiful, tender expression.

“Do you really have the heart to hurt this little lady?”

That sugary little-girl voice echoed beside every recruit’s ear. At once, their steps halted, and they stood motionless like wooden stakes, staring fixedly at the bearded middle-aged man lying on the ground.

It was as though what they saw was not a greasy middle-aged man, but a seductive enchantress.

Even Chu Xingchen was briefly affected by the charm art. He paused for a moment, and the four streaks of sword qi veered off course and carved themselves into the wall.

He hurriedly shook his head and was just about to continue attacking when white mist began to pour from the breathing vent of Liang Shan’s gas mask.

In only a short moment, it blanketed the training ground.

Under Chu Xingchen’s Demonic Eyes, that white mist was composed of paralyzing toxins capable of rendering the entire body numb and immobile.

The instant the white mist was released, he pulled back, covering his nose and mouth.

But even skin contact alone was enough to induce paralysis.

Chu Xingchen froze. His whole body became immobile, and he stood stiffly where he was.

The same happened to all three thousand recruits across the training ground.

Mei Xue’er, who had been lying on the ground, slowly rose to his feet and dusted off his clothes. “Lingling, let them have a good sleep.”

“Got it, Chief!” The robotic girl closed her eyes, and a powerful soul tremor suddenly rippled through space.

The recruits surrounding the Divine Battle Division fell one after another.

Before they had even truly made a move, it was already over.

Outside the training ground, all the instructors revealed shocked expressions.

“Chief Instructor, did you invite this Divine Battle Division here? They are several times stronger than the East China Battle Division,” Instructor Huang exclaimed.

Zhou Yu himself also looked stunned.

His first impression of the Divine Battle Division had been that they were unreliable, but now that notion had been completely swept away.

He had originally thought that with Jiang Yichen, Su Linyu, Tang Long, and Chu Xingchen all being Fifth Realm Grandmasters, this should have been a hard-fought battle.

Yet it turned out to be a one-sided crushing defeat.

No wonder his superiors had said that the Divine Battle Division’s standing was second only to the Commander-in-Chief of Huaxia. They were absurdly strong.

“It seems this Recruit Challenge is about to end very soon...”

“No, that is not right. Look, there are still four recruits who have not fallen,” Instructor Huang suddenly said.

Hm?

Zhou Yu, who had been drinking tea, slowly lifted his head. As the white mist gradually dispersed, recruits could be seen sprawled all over the ground, yet the four Fifth Realm Grandmasters, including Jiang Yichen, were still standing.

He slowly set down his teacup and frowned as he observed them.

“Old Chu, even when taking the lead, you still have to consider your own strength. Otherwise, it is very easy to get caught.”

On the training ground, Jiang Yichen patted Chu Xingchen on the shoulder, smiling as he spoke.

At the instant he patted him, the paralyzing effect on Chu Xingchen vanished.

Somewhat ashamed, Chu Xingchen said, “I did not expect them to be this strong. I underestimated them.”

“Yes. No matter when it is, you must never underestimate your opponent.”

After giving that bit of instruction, Jiang Yichen turned to the Divine Battle Division. “A bunch of rookies who only know how to fight easy battles. Come and test yourselves against me.”

Chu Xingchen: “...”

So this is what it means to never underestimate your opponent?

The four members of the Divine Battle Division looked at him in surprise, though it was also within their expectations.

According to the information given by the Commander-in-Chief, Jiang Yichen was highly likely to be a Divine Mind User. It was perfectly normal for him to withstand their laws.

Faced with the provocation, Mei Xue’er gave a charming smile.

“Rookies? You are the first person who has ever dared to address the Divine Battle Division that way.”

“There happen to be four of them. One for each of us. Leave him to this little lady.”

The bearded middle-aged man pointed at Jiang Yichen, and that sugary little-girl voice was unbearably grating.

That damned cutesy voice.

Looking at the grotesque mismatch between Mei Xue’er’s appearance and voice, Jiang Yichen felt a fresh wave of disgust rise in him.

Without hesitation, he used spatial teleportation and appeared directly in front of Mei Xue’er, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

The Law of Space!

Mei Xue’er was startled and immediately tried the same trick again, using charm art. His hips lifted slightly, and his posture turned enchantingly seductive.

“Brother, can you really bear to hit this little lady?”

Charm art was nothing more than mental interference. Against a monster like Jiang Yichen, whose spiritual power was practically limitless, it was utterly useless.

Jiang Yichen slowly clenched his fist. If an actual beauty were acting like this, it would at least be understandable. But from a greasy middle-aged man, it was simply too much.

“You damned cutesy freak, I am hitting you exactly!”

Jiang Yichen showed not the slightest mercy. He drove a punch straight into Mei Xue’er’s face, and the terrifying force kicked up blasts of white airflow, sending him flying on the spot.

BOOM!

Mei Xue’er slammed heavily into the wall of the main stage, his body sinking deep into it.

Mo Yan, Lingling, and Liang Shan all turned their heads stiffly, disbelief rising in their eyes.

Wait, the Chief was just sent flying like that?!
