Chapter 161: Selection Begins! (2/2)

There were a total of 10 participants. They were separated into five groups. The first round would eliminate half of them. What they were looking for in this competition was not for fame or prizes, but becoming the strongest person among them. Therefore, only the strongest one who survived through this would be crowned the champion.

Cheng Yu was in group three. Just nice, he was positioned in the middle. Soon, the first group started competing and both of them were picked out from the military regions.

The competition, other than Cheng Yu and that man, were all the number one instructors from the eight different regions. Naturally, these instructors had all taught martial arts. In the military, not only would they learn how to wrestle, there was also lots of other subjects. Especially when it comes to special units, they would need to learn a lot more subjects. Some of them included reconnaissance, high tech military weapons, espionage, martial arts and etc.

It can be said that this kind of unit has always been on the frontline or behind enemy lines. Their objectives would usually be to accomplish the hardest missions set by the country, but they are also required to make it back alive.

The battle between them was truly spectacular. Of course, this was said from a normal human being’s perspective. In front of Cheng Yu, it was something that did not even pose a threat to him. Their strength was almost equal. After fighting for half a day, both sides were not able to knock the other down. Cheng Yu became very gloomy. Such a boring competition and it needed so long just for a single match? This was pure nonsense!

After exhausting their bodies, one of them was no longer able to persevere any longer as he got kicked to the ground, concluding the competition.

Cheng Yu wished to tell them to all come at him at the same time, but he knew that he can’t do so. Displaying an unrivalled might was not necessarily a good thing. Especially when all those sitting here and viewing the competition were the higher ups of the military. As the saying goes, “One cannot be afraid of losing, but will have to be extra cautious of being backstabbed.”

If Cheng Yu were to really cause everyone to resent him, it was definitely not beneficial to him. Even though Cheng Yu was not afraid of them, he was still not able to anticipate what those people who hate him might do. To Cheng Yu, promoting one’s strength to allow his loved ones to acquire everlasting life was the most important thing. Not obtaining miserly benefits by fighting with this group of mortals.

After waiting for another half day, it was finally Cheng Yu’s turn. He really wished to compete against the expert the Song had recruited. But the chances of it happening was very unlikely.

Cheng Yu’s opponent possessed a masculine body and it seemed as if it contained an explosive power. The other party looked at Cheng Yu with disdain. After all, those who managed to make it to the selection rounds were all notorious figures in the military region. And yet, Cheng Yu this kind of fine tender meat, who seemed to be very young was definitely not favored during this kind of situation. Cheng Yu’s opponent thought that this might be due to sheer luck that he was able to meet such an easy opponent. He was prepared to knock out Cheng Yu with a single punch, so as to increase his awe-aspiring manner and make his future opponents more fearful of him.

They both did not speak and fought immediately. What he expected did not happen. When he punched, it was blocked by Cheng Yu. That man tried to withdraw his hand, but to his astonishment, he realised that he couldn’t withdraw it. When he saw Cheng Yu’s nonchalant smile, he felt that it was his misconception and tried to withdraw his hand again, but was still unable to. Therefore, he turned his body and lifted up his right leg to do a tornado kick at Cheng Yu’s head.

Cheng Yu used his hand to block and exerted a little more strength as he threw him off his balance. That man was caught of guard and fell straight to the ground. However, Cheng Yu did not use any of his Qi. This was more than enough to handle mortals.

The man climbed back up and was unable to comprehend how Cheng Yu blocked his punch and kick so easily. Once again, he struck at Cheng Yu with his fastest speed. However, no matter how he tried to strike, he was unable to get through his defense.

When he saw his opponent was already perspiring and gasping for breath, Cheng Yu spoke tranquilly, ”You can’t win against me. Just admit defeat.”

“Impossible. I will not admit defeat!” Even though he was already tired, the man did not believe Cheng Yu was so unrivalled. He must look for the gap in Cheng Yu’s defense.

“Since it’s like that, I will no longer be polite,” Cheng Yu exerted a little more strength and grabbed the man’s hand and swung it down. He gave that man’s stomach a kick. That man flew out immediately.

That man wished to climb back up, but it was too painful. Without a choice, he admitted defeat. Xu Zhongfu and Huang Kaiming were extremely joyful. After all, they were rooting for Cheng Yu.

Only Song Tianlin was looking at Cheng Yu with anger. The Cheng and Xu Families relations were very firm. This was something everyone knew about. Song Tianlin did not wish for the Cheng Family to gain power in the military as well. If both sides were to join up, it would not be beneficial for their Song Family.

However, Song Tianlin had faith in the person he recruited. When the country suggested developing a mysterious unit, he had already started to hunt for talents. He used a lot of his network before managing to find this person. Furthermore, the origin of this person was not small as he was an expert from the Shushan Sect.

Even though he had no idea why Cheng Ruilong’s grandson had such a huge transformation after two years, he believed that just a Cheng Yu would never be a match for this ancient sect expert.

It was known that the person he recruited had been practicing martial arts since he was young. Now that it had already been over 30 years, no matter how formidable Cheng Yu was, he was definetly weaker. It was impossible for him to possess the profound martial arts his talent had.

For the military instructor selection this time, his Song Family must definitely attain the spot!
