Chapter 477: Side Story 4

Xiaoguo especially cherished the days of military training. The instructors were selected from the special forces, so their skills were top-notch. She had to take this opportunity to pick up more moves that could subdue the enemy in one strike, especially those ultimate moves that directly attack the head.

At this moment, she was sitting among a group of boys. Ruyi was the only girl beside her.

The two girls became the only two flowers in the archeology department.

The archeology department was just as Ruyi had said. If Xiaoguo wasn’t here, Ruyi would be the only flower among the guys.

“Xiaoguo, look!”

Ruyi’s exclamation interrupted her train of thoughts. She instinctively looked in her direction and saw Ruyi looking infatuatedly at the instructor from another class.

“Such firm muscles…” Ruyi was drooling from a distance, her eyes narrowed and stared lustfully at the instructor’s tanned skin, examining every inch of it carefully.

“Pectoral muscles, abs, damn! He even has the Adonis belt!!”

Trying hard to suppress her emotions, Ruyi’s eyes suddenly lit up. She shook Xiaoguo vigorously. “Look, look. Did you see that?”

A drop of sweat had just trickled down the instructor’s Adam’s apple and onto his chest muscles! “Oh God!”

Xiaoguo was feeling dizzy from her shaking. There were so many officers present. Most of them had taken off their jackets because of the hot weather. Some of them were shirtless, and some were dressed conservatively in singlets.

“Yes, yes. Our instructor saw you.”

Ruyi was stunned. She carefully retracted her gaze from the other instructor and stole a glance at their chief instructor. She realized that he was really looking at her. No wonder she had shivered for no reason just now. It felt as if there was an air conditioner blowing at her.

Not daring to let her mind wander again, she hurriedly retracted her gaze and looked ahead.

Xiaoguo chuckled to herself. Ruyi had caused such a commotion that their chief instructor had already taken a few glances at her. Unfortunately, the girl was too focused on something else and wasn’t paying any attention to their conservative-looking instructor at all.

Speaking of which, it did seem rather odd. It was a bright and sunny day, so most of the other instructors had taken off their jackets because of the weather, which was what their assistant instructor had done.

However, their chief instructor did not even break a sweat. He was covered up from head to toe, without a single unfastened button or exposing an inch of skin.

Such a conservative outfit was not going to catch the attention of the lustful Ruyi.

To be honest, it had been four days since the military training, but they still didn’t know what the instructor looked like. He always wore oversized sunglasses and a face mask, never speaking unless it was necessary, and would give orders through the assistant instructor instead.

“Do you understand now?”

“Yes! Instructor!”

The assistant instructor nodded and turned around. He jogged to the main instructor’s side and saluted him before whispering something to him.

From Xiaoguo’s direction, she could only see the assistant instructor’s back and the chief instructor’s mouth moving.

The assistant instructor saluted and jogged back to the students.

“On your feet!”

As soon as the voice sounded, Xiaoguo stood up with the others and looked curiously at the chief instructor, who was walking towards them. This seemed to be the first time he was standing so close to them.

“Is there anyone who wants to challenge our chief instructor with the moves they have just learned?”

As soon as the assistant instructor said that, there was an uproar among the trainees.

The assistant instructor frowned and shouted, “Silence!”

Everyone fell silent, but they still avoided the assistant instructor’s gaze. They weren’t fools – they only needed to complete and pass the basic military training. There was no need to take it so seriously or to engage in sparring exercises. It was pointless to go through such formalities.

Furthermore, the assistant instructor was already intimidating enough, let alone the main instructor. His imposing aura alone was enough to make the trainees feel overwhelmed. To put it nicely, it was a challenge. To put it bluntly, it was a session for the trainees to get beaten up.

They had to be fools to raise their hands.

The assistant instructor frowned even more when he saw this. His piercing gaze swept across the group of boys who were all lowering their heads in silence. He sighed in disappointment. “Boys these days are seriously lacking in strength and courage .”

“Instructor, I’ll do it!”

At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded, attracting the attention of everyone. Even the chief instructor’s usually calm eyes briefly flickered with surprise before returning to their usual cold gaze. One might have thought that it was an illusion.

From the moment Xiaoguo was contemplating whether to step forward, Ruyi had been holding her hand, afraid that she would raise her hand on impulse.

In the end, she didn’t manage to stop her. Seeing that the assistant instructor had already pointed at Xiaoguo, she had no choice but to let go of Xiaoguo’s hand.

Looking at her determined posture, Ruyi was a little worried. How was this thin figure going to withstand the instructor’s tackles?

Regardless of what the others might think, Xiaoguo just thought that it was a rare opportunity to spar with the instructor and didn’t want to waste it. After watching so many rounds of demonstration just now, she had a good understanding of the method. Now it was time to put it into practice.

“What’s your name?”

“Reporting to the instructor, Qin Xiaoguo!”

“Not bad!” The assistant instructor nodded in satisfaction. “Women are just as capable as men.”

Those words made the group of boys blush in embarrassment.

The main instructor had not spoken a word. When Xiaoguo came up, he moved to the side and got into position.

Xiaoguo gulped. Actually, she was feeling a little nervous and excited at the same time. The more she learned, the higher the chance of survival.

“Are you ready?”

Seeing that she was a girl, the assistant instructor was exceptionally gentle to her.

Xiaoguo exhaled and nodded. She also assumed a combat posture and stared intently at the chief instructor, who was three meters away.

Although she couldn’t see where his eyes were looking, Xiaoguo still kept her eyes on a fixed spot based on her intuition. This piqued the interest of the main instructor. Raising his eyebrows, he thought to himself that she was a bold girl.

Ruyi felt like her heart was now in her throat. She covered her mouth tightly and looked ahead nervously, silently preparing to carry Xiaoguo to the infirmary if necessary.

The main instructor made the first move. Xiaoguo thought about the earlier demonstration and quickly squatted down. Then, she threw a punch, which was easily dodged by the other party. At the same time, the instructor gave her a sweeping kick.

Xiaoguo narrowly dodged it, and she quickly followed up with a rapid kick and punch.

This is no joke. She hadn’t practiced martial arts with Jiang Danhe for nothing in her previous life.

After a series of punches, the instructor remained unscathed with no sign of exertion on his part. On the other hand, Xiaoguo had exhausted her strength and could only rely on her sheer willpower to hold on.

The main instructor stopped teasing her and with the swing of his elbow, Xiaoguo was knocked down to the ground.

Although the instructor had intentionally held back his strength, it was still enough for her to feel the impact.

“Not bad.”

Xiaoguo blinked and looked at him curiously. She followed his lead and got up. After thanking him, she returned to the group.

“Are you okay?”

Ruyi quickly asked. Xiaoguo shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Then, she couldn’t help but look at the main instructor. Did he just talk to her?

His voice was a little low and hoarse, as if he had not spoken for a long time. However, it was not unpleasant to hear. There was a magnetic quality to it, and even sounded quite familiar…

The assistant instructor then asked if anyone else wanted to come up, and the male trainees eagerly raised their hands, perhaps impressed by the exchange between the sparring just now or stimulated by the fact that a girl like Xiaoguo had gone up to fight. They were all excited and full of energy, as if they had just been injected with chicken blood.

After that, the main instructor did not rest. He quickly knocked out the boys one by one, and ended the challenge without breaking a sweat.

However, he didn’t say a word the entire time. Xiaoguo couldn’t help but wonder if she had heard wrongly earlier on.

Perhaps it was Xiaoguo’s keen attitude that made the chief instructor notice her. In the following days, Xiaoguo became his main training partner.

Upon learning of her interest in attacking the head, he quietly taught her several lethal techniques that could kill with a single blow. According to the rules, he shouldn’t teach her those moves, but he knew that the girl in front of him was not someone without sense. Although he didn’t know the reason for her special interest, he believed that she wouldn’t do anything bad with her new found skills.

The chief instructor also gave Xiaoguo a strange vibe. Although the two of them hardly spoke to each other, there was always some sort of chemistry between them. With just one look from him, Xiaoguo could tell what was wrong, and vice versa. If she frowned, he would accurately point out her wrong movements.

That feeling was strange, but also irresistible..
