As the onlookers' hearts filled with sour envy, Xu Li walked in, heading straight for the punching bag.
"Team... wu..."
The Second Team members were about to call out when someone from the First Team covered their mouth. This action immediately earned the support of the entire team.
"If you're going to call out to the captain, you should call out to Sister You first. You can't just call out casually! If you do, we'll beat you up!"
After saying that, he glared ferociously at the person whose mouth was covered. The latter nodded frantically in fear, satisfying the First Team, who slowly lowered their hands.
These people's fists were harder and more brutal than each other. It was unknown who taught them, but apart from the influence of Jian You's demeanor, he truly didn't know how they became so audacious.
They had only arrived not long ago and didn't even have a junior captain, yet each of them acted like a veteran who had been here for a long time!
Xu Li walked to the punching bag, or rather, in front of Jian You, his calm, deep eyes fixed on this person who appeared frail but contained infinite strength.
"Jian You, let's have a match. If you defeat me, I'll give the captain's position to you!"
When Lian Bo and Zhao Yu arrived, they witnessed this scene. Zhao Yu, with a stern face, was about to step forward, as the team had already established a rule against private fighting!
However, as he took the first step, Lian Bo stopped him. Zhao Yu turned his head in confusion, wondering if they were going to let them act out like this, wouldn't that violate the rules?
Lian Bo's weather-beaten eyes casually surveyed the target person.
Her build was slender, weighing less than ninety jin, and her bone structure was small. If she had a different face, she would be quite similar to their young lady. It was truly hard to see anything special about her.
But Lian Bo, having lived for decades, naturally would not judge someone by their appearance, nor would he lightly underestimate anyone. Therefore, he still needed to witness it firsthand.
On the way, he had already understood most of it. This Jian You was indeed not simple. She had only been here for a month, and it was known that anyone who could come here had been carefully selected from below.
And she had not only advanced grades rapidly below, but had now directly secured a junior captain position here. Thus, he was truly very curious about this Jian You. Anyone whom Elder Jian recognized as his granddaughter could not be simple.
"You go arrange it. I'll be the judge."
After giving his instructions, Lian Bo walked towards the adjacent combat room.
"..."
Zhao Yu pointed inside, then looked back at the departing Lian Bo. Was this telling him to break the rules? No, how could he be asked to arrange it?!
Zhao Yu turned his head and scanned his surroundings. Finally, he spotted someone. He put on a stern face and cleared his throat, "Lü Qing, come here!"
Lü Qing was on patrol and was surprised to hear the leader's voice, finding it strange. Hadn't the leader gone to headquarters for a report?
Although he thought this, he immediately trotted towards Zhao Yu, stopping a step away from him. "Leader, what are your orders?!"
There were no orders, but there was a troublesome matter!
"That... you... no, I just heard them say they wanted to spar, and it's been a rare opportunity to relax recently. You go arrange it!"
Looking at the leader's wavering hand, Lü Qing was a bit disoriented. He had heard the leader's initial words, which seemed to be questioning them, but the result was... agreement?
Putting that aside for now, had they been very relaxed recently? How come he, the captain, didn't know?
Lü Qing raised his head seriously, subtly appraising him. Wasn't this person an imposter?
Zhao Yu, seeing the questioning look in his eyes, became flustered, "What are you looking at?! I told you to do it, so do it! Why so many questions?"
This was the leader he knew!
"Yes, Leader!"
As he took a step, Lü Qing turned back and asked cautiously, "Are we not going to manage their fight?"
Zhao Yu kicked him, his expression fierce, yet lacking a bit of confidence, "I said it's a spar, can't you understand?!"
Fine, fine, he understood now, but it was a bit hard on his waist!
Lü Qing walked to the boxing area with a dark expression, "I heard you want to fight?!"
Everyone immediately shrank like quails and shook their heads, "No, no!"
Why were these people so oblivious? Lü Qing couldn't help but look at Jian You, who was completely unaffected, and nodded in admiration. This Jian You was immensely talented, always so steady in whatever she did, and most importantly, she had the strength!
Without needing further questions, Lü Qing knew that the leader was prepared to utilize Jian You, otherwise, how could he allow his subordinates to fight? He understood clearly that Jian You's future prospects were immeasurable.
"Jian You, I heard you want to compete with Xu Li to see who's better?"
Was that what they meant just now?
The others huddled together, looking at each other. They saw confusion in each other's eyes, and they remembered clearly that it was Xu Li who had provoked first!
"Report, Captain! It was clearly Xu..."
Lü Qing turned and glared at him. The person immediately stopped talking but continued to mumble with his head lowered...
Jian You, who had been named, turned her head. Her pair of cold eyes looked at Lü Qing, then glanced at Xu Li, and then she looked at the punching bag in front of her. With swift and fierce movements, she delivered two punches.
"Bang bang~"
"..."
Everyone was quite speechless. If Sister You didn't have this skill, they wouldn't have seen her here!
Lü Qing clenched his fist and coughed into his mouth.
Captain, don't think we don't know you're awkward right now. Coughing won't help; Sister You isn't even paying attention to you.
"Hmm."
Huh? Did the Captain hear their thoughts? He's quite self-aware.
"Hmm, then I'll arrange a time..."
Uh... what time? The leader didn't say!
"Now!"
"Now."
The leader walked over with a stern face. He had mentored Lü Qing, so how could he seem less capable than this young girl!
Seeing the leader approach, everyone immediately straightened up, their necks lengthening, their spirits rising, "Greetings, Leader!"
Zhao Yu nodded slightly and then looked at the two in the center, his face stern, "You two, come over here!"
At this moment, everyone lowered their heads, wishing they could disappear on the spot. This was the situation of being caught red-handed for arranging a fight. They didn't know what the punishment would be.
Except for Jian You, Xu Li, and Lü Qing, no one dared to follow. They felt their current lives were wonderful, truly!
Upon entering the combat room, Lü Qing's eyes widened at the people inside. Even Xu Li's pupils flickered, while Jian You remained expressionless.
Lian Bo withdrew his gaze after a single glance. A promising talent.
Without the need for further words, Jian You and Xu Li had already stepped onto the platform. Soon, someone came to help them put on protective gear.
