CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 251: TWISTING THE KNIFE

Taoyuan Space Station.

One move.

Yang Bin used only one move from beginning to end, but the 131st batch of new recruits including Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Chu Jiaojiao, and Shen Changqing were all annihilated. Whether it was competing in Physical Strength or spiritual power, all the new recruits were almost no match for Yang Bin.

What does this indicate?

Does it indicate that the gap in strength between the new recruits and veteran warriors is too vast?

Or?

...

Anyway, even cautious Shen Changqing challenged Yang Bin and was defeated in one move, after which all the new recruits fell silent.

Nobody burst out to challenge again.

On the warrior’s side, they laughed loudly: "Little brats, who else wants to try? How about the top ten of you come up and challenge all at once?"

"If you can’t handle it, feel free to team up, two at a time."

"But whether it’s two or three of you together, Captain Yang will beat you effortlessly."

"Hahaha..."

"Just admit defeat! Little brats."

...

It’s unbearable, upon hearing this, all the new recruits were filled with righteous indignation. After all, they are the best among the new recruits, and all have a sense of pride, they would never admit they are worthless.

Ji You glanced around and suddenly said: "Lou, Lance, didn’t they say two people could go up together? You two go up!"

Lance was somewhat embarrassed and hesitated: "But wouldn’t that be too much of bullying?"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You speechlessly said: "Little buddy, you need to realize, you are totally inexperienced and weak, and they? They are seasoned elites, you’re not in the position to be bullying them."

At the same time, Ji You confirmed that this kid was not very bright.

Honest, naive, simple, and even doesn’t know how to use brute Strength...

This explained why Lance, although being an S-class Physique, couldn’t even match Yue Qiguang.

Lance hesitated: "But..."

Ji You waved her hand, cutting him off, and said: "No buts, Lou, I’m asking you, are you going or not?"

Lou also hesitated, but seeing Ji You’s expression, if he showed any fear, he figured he’d be despised by this talent-deficient girl for a long time. Gritting his teeth, Lou said: "I’ll go! Let’s try!"

Ji You smiled and said: "That’s the spirit! Don’t be a coward, just go and do it!"

Next to them, Sheng Qingyan couldn’t hold back anymore, and taunted: "Scaredy-cat... It sounds like someone else who was scared just now..."

Ji You glanced at Sheng Qingyan and retorted: "When was I ever scared? At least I have more courage to fight back than you! You chicken, shrinking your neck in fear, not even daring to make a sound, yet you have the nerve to call me a coward? In this world, anyone can call me a coward, but you, Sheng Qingyan Little Cutie, definitely cannot..."

Sheng Qingyan: "..."

Sheng Qingyan rolled his eyes, pouting: "You always have so much to say... It’s really annoying..."

Ji You snorted: "Hmph— you’re the annoying one, you’re the most annoying, whenever you start, it makes people regret why they were born with ears."

Sheng Qingyan retorted: "You poor dead broke ghost... you..."

The two childish fools were clearly entering a prolonged petty argument. The others turned their heads away, not bothering to listen to them any longer, and focused on watching Lou and Lance.

Sitting to the side and receiving treatment from the treatment instrument, Shen Changqing’s face was slightly pale. Seeing that Lou and Lance were really going to challenge together, he couldn’t help but say: "Lou, Lance, remember to coordinate well, don’t act alone. Acting alone, you’re completely not their match, and remember..."

Chu Jiaojiao also timely suggested, saying: "I think we shouldn’t just focus on Physical Strength, we should combine it with spiritual power..."

Yue Qiyuan: "Exactly."

When Lou and Lance were listening carefully to the suggestions, Yang Bin stood in the center of the arena, smiling at the students and said, "Have you finished discussing? If you don’t come onto the field now, I will take it as you all give up, and then I will have to announce that none of the freshmen this year can take a hit."

Lou and Lance stepped forward together, looking at Yang Bin, and said: "Senior Yang Bin, we two challenge you."

Yang Bin nodded and said: "Okay! Both of you come on together, that would indeed make it a case of me bullying the younger ones." However, these students are also not too traditional in their thinking, knowing their own limits and changing strategies accordingly.

Good.

Lou and Lance felt somewhat depressed upon hearing this.

Ji You was very happy and shouted loudly, "Stop the nonsense! Just fight!"

Of course—

She let Lou and Lance go together also to see if Senior Yang Bin could still achieve victory with a single move.

If he could, that would be too terrifying.

Soon, the challenge by Lou and Lance began. Both being S-rank Physique individuals, their strengths were not vastly different. Hence, from the beginning of the challenge, they had already agreed on a division of labor, one would handle the rear, and the other would handle the frontal attack.

Whoosh—

Their speed was very fast, like a gust of wind, rushing towards Senior Yang Bin. Yang Bin himself remained motionless, only facing the incoming Lou with a punch just as they got close, and without even turning back, he lightly stretched out a foot and tripped Lance, who was coming from behind—

This scene was indeed effortless.

If not for the students knowing that Lou and Lance were not holding back but had given their all, they would definitely not believe this was real.

Silence.

Despite this, there was still a tangible atmosphere of what’s called ’awkward silence’ lingering in the air.

Really.

It was so damn awkward.

Whether it was Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Shen Changqing, or Lou, Lance, and others, they were all the best of the best from the 131st generation of the Combat Department.

Yet—

They were so easily defeated.

What else could anyone say?

The students all hung their heads, somewhat dispirited.

After a single move, Lou and Lance were honorably sent into the treatment cabin.

Yang Bin looked around at the students and said with a big smile: "Kids, don’t be discouraged. Today’s failure is nothing. We old soldiers organized this welcoming event not to undermine your confidence, because our purpose is simply to tell you that you are still weak, still young cubs that need your brothers to protect you."

The students: "..."

Everyone’s face darkened.

Yue Qiguang was even more infuriated and screamed on the spot, wanting to engage in a fight to the death with the old soldiers.

Beside him, Mu Jianling glanced at him and said, "Idiots generally die from not knowing themselves."

Ji You, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but say: "Teacher... That’s a bit unfair, as our teacher, you should be giving us encouragement, love, and the warmth of spring... How could you deliberately stab us in the heart while everyone is feeling down?"

Mu Jianling glanced at her and said, "Oh... In the future, I will try to stab even deeper."

Ji You: "..."
