Chapter 152: Ba Ji Sect Arrives

In the two weeks since Chen Fan arrived at the base, his only display of power was when he jumped out of the helicopter.

No one knew what he was up to when he was inside his room. The only time people saw him outside apart from the training hour was in the morning when he practiced relaxing Tai Chi. Therefore, his exact power and abilities remained a mystery.

Hearing the challenge, even Huo Donglai and Sergeant Huo looked to Chen Fan expectantly.

A few sergeants had been talking about him for days. They concluded that Chen Fan was a Transcendent Master if not even more powerful. Since no one had seen him in action, the conclusion remained mere speculation.

“I would love to.”

Chen Fan walked into the training ground and scanned his students. “Who would join me?”

An awkward silence fell over the training room. No one in his right mind would want to challenge someone who could survive a fall from a hundred meters above the ground. Not even Tank wanted to test the waters.

“I will do it”

Someone spoke up.

“Captain!”

Having recognized the speaker, everyone was shocked.

He was none other than the Captain Yue of the Cang Dragon unit.

He had been mostly keeping things to himself of late and was not as ostentatious as Tank or Rusty. Even the new guy, Chu Minhui seemed to have made more progress than he did. Therefore, his reticence had made others nearly forget about him. His sudden rise to the challenge surprised everyone.

“Very well. You look like a good fighter.”

Chen Fan sized him up and despite his rich experience as the North Mystic Celestial Lord, he couldn’t help be surprised by what he saw.

Using his Immortal Will, he registered swift currents coursing through Yue Jianqiu’s veins. The flow was so powerful that Chen Fan thought he could hear its swoos.h.i.+ng sounds. Every muscle and bone were a few times more durable and stronger than that of a normal person. It was evident that his body could unleash an incredible outburst of energy.

“I knew you were the most talented and strong-willed soldier in Cang Dragon. However, I have to admit that I am surprised by your progress.”

Chen Fan nodded in approval.

If one could master the Cang Dragon Physical Conditioning Exercise program, his power should be on par with that of an initial success level Internal Force user.

Tank was of above average talent and was gifted with incredible strength. He was able to defeat Huo Donglai with the help of using the element of surprise; without it, Huo Donglai would have won the match.

However, Yue Jianqiu was not as lucky as Tank who had extraordinary natural strength, neither did he have any previous experience with internal force like Rusty had; however, he was able to master the Cang Dragon Physical Conditioning Exercise in less than half a month and improve his power to the same level of an internal force user with initial success. That was indeed incredible.

“Thank you for giving me the opportunity, Head Sergeant.”

Yue Jianqiu said calmly and firmly as determination flashed across his face.

“Very well!”

Chen Fan seemed to have seen his former self in this solider. “I will let you take the initiative.”

As soon as Chen Fan finished his words, Yue Jianqiu’s body tensed up like an animal that suddenly woke up from slumber. Then he threw himself at Chen Fan.

Meanwhile, a few visitors had just entered the training ground.

At the forefront of the group was a seventy-year-old man. He was thin and scrawny. Under his dry and wrinkled skin were a web of veins and sinews, interlocking with each other like the gnarly roots of an ancient tree. His eyes glittered with a dark light as he walked with wide and confident strides. Despite his age and wizened appearance, he was much stronger than the young people around him.

Trailing behind him were two middle-aged men and a couple.

The man was tall and muscular, while the woman was smaller and attractive. She wore a red s.h.i.+rt and pulled her hair back into a ponytail, making her look confident and fit.

“Great Uncle Master, what brings you here?”

As soon as Huo Donglai noticed the visitor, he hurried to greet the old man.

The other sergeant also noticed the visitors and were taken aback by their appearance. They followed Sergeant Huo and greeted the old man respectfully: “Why didn’t you give us a heads up? We would roll out the red carpet for you.”

“I am but a handful of old bones. No need for those courtesies.”

Despite the small and sw.a.n.ky look of the old man, his voice was surprisingly loud.

“Uncle Master Donglai!”

The younger couple behind the old man saluted to Seargent Huo.
