Chapter 152 (1/2)

Lin Xun was openmouthed since he had never seen a fellow who cursed himself for insulting the opponent before. It was so frenzied!

Hu Long was excessively angry, and soon he also realized his words were inappropriate. But it was too late for him to explain more.

Hearing the laughter of the people in the cabin, Hu Long’s face changed and he hated Lin all the more. If Lin Xun didn’t scold him as a dog first, how could this happen?

Lin Xun was too hateful!

Hu Long, who was feeling very embarrassed, suddenly saw that Lin Xun’s expression was somewhat gloomy. He could not help sneering, “Funny. Can’t someone withstand this kind of attack by innuendo, either?”

Lin Xun sighed and doubted how mindless Hu Long could survive the quarterly assessment. It was unnecessary to evaluate his IQ.

However, Hu Long seemed to find a chance to vent his anger upon Lin’s silence. Hu Long raised his arrogant head and said coldly, “Go ahead. Don’t you have a glib tongue? Cut the crap. Dare you beat me directly? Dare you?”

Trainees kicked up a fuss immediately. Knowing that it was in the cabin that all trainees were present, so no one dared to act recklessly in this place, Hu Long wasn’t too foolish, trying to provoke Lin Xun with such words.

Would Lin Xun be afraid?

Certainly not.

But would Lin Xun take action?

Might not, either.

This trick was similar to that used by Lin Xun, who asked Hu Long to prove whether he was a dog or not.

Boom!

It was surprising that Lin Xun didn’t talk nonsense in the face of Hu Long’s provocation. He got up immediately, rushed at Hu Long and threw a punch.

Hu Long didn’t expect that Lin Xun really dared to beat him. As a result, he was severely hit on the abdomen by Lin’s punch.

With a bang, Hu Long felt as if his stomach was about to burst. The terrible power rushed into his body like tides. All the internal organs seemed to shift. With his whole body arched like a boiled prawn, and he howled in pain.

“Lin Xun, fuck you…”

Hu Long was slapped on the back before he could finish the whole sentence, and he lay prone on the ground like a toad then. He could only scream with tears and snot flowing down in pain.

The crowd burst into an uproar and felt it unbelievable.

However, Lin Xun laughed at leisure, looked at the people around him and said, “Everybody has heard that this guy asked me to beat him on his own initiative. This is the first time I have heard such a request. How can I refuse his invitation?”

The crowd was speechless for this reason.

Hearing Lin Xun’s words, Hu Long was so angry that he almost vomited blood, which made his pain worse.

With a bang, the cabin door was opened, an extraordinarily stalwart figure appeared, giving trainees in the cabin a sense of pressure by standing still only.

It was Dong Lu, the Drillmaster who was in charge of leading trainees from Camp 39 to Demon-cloud Ridge to participate in the battlefield assessment.

“What’s the matter? Who wants to experience the punishment for violating rules?” Dong Lu coldly glanced at Lin Xun and Hu Long lying prone on the ground.

“Drillmaster, Lin Xun beat me first!” Hu Long wailed and struggled to get up. But Lin Xun firmly stepped on Hu’s back to prevent him from getting up.

“Little boy, what do you want to explain for this?” Dong Lu asked Lin in a low, muffled voice, with an unkind look on his face.

“It’s not my fault. He asked me to beat him on his own initiative. Everyone in the cabin witnessed this. I’m not interested in bullying such a weakling.”

Lin Xun answered earnestly.

Dong Lu was stunned and looked at all the people present, who did not refute Lin Xun’s explanation. Dong’s face became a little odd.

“You lie!” Hu Long was as mad as a hornet and shouted.

“Have you ever seen such a person, Drillmaster Dong? He must suffer mental disorder since he has asked for a beating but does not admit it.”

Lin Xun sighed helplessly, “I think this guy is really a jackass.”

Dong Lu came to understand what had happened and his face turned odder. He stared at Hu Long, who was almost mad on the ground, for a long time before snorting, “That’s the end of the matter. Don’t let me find you are fighting again. Whatever the reason is, you’ll be eliminated!”

Then, he turned and walked out of the cabin and slammed the door.

But at the moment of closing the door, many people with sharp ears heard Dong Lu mutter, “He seems to be a jackass to ask for an insult!”

The expressions of many trainees turned odd at once, and they looked at Hu Long with pity.

Lin gave Hu Long a beating for his provocation and Hu was deemed to be a jackass by the drillmaster. Hu Long could only blame himself.

Lin Xun returned to his seat calmly as if everything that just happened had nothing to do with him.

“Amazing,” Shi Yu raised his thumb.

“Excellent,” Ning Meng laughed.

Lin Xun smiled and said nothing.

The episode was over, but the eyes of many trainees in the cabin showed indistinct fears when they looked at Lin Xun.

No one dared to despise those who didn’t act according to common sense.

…

Eight Ziying Battleships flew in the sky for seven days, and eventually landed at a military base called “Reshahar” on the northern frontier of the empire in the evening of the seventh day.
