148 Cang Dragon Physical Conditioning Exercise (1/2)

Ever since the Cang Dragon unit lost the tournament against the other military units, the entire team had been going around with low spirits. The morale was further worsened by the firing of former Head Sergeant Xu. Many soldiers didn't even have the courage to hit the streets on holidays.

However, there and then, the Cang Dragon's base was seething with enthusiasm and energy.

”Have you heard? The new Head Sergeant is a badass!”

”More than just a badass! I saw it when I was walking in the hallway. He jumped right out of a helicopter at a hundred meters or so above the ground. He landed on the ground with a big bang, like how it was in the Superman movie. Guess what? He was unharmed! I was blown away! You know the concrete they used on the training ground was a special formula that could withstand even artillery bombardment. However, he made a giant crater at the center without causing any harm to himself. He is not a human, I tell you!”

Someone else put in.

”I have heard the Head Sergeant Chen is only seventeen. How is that even possible? At any rate, what the Military HQ wants from him was clear, they want him to teach us to be as powerful as he is.” Someone said expectantly.

”Get out of here. Look at yourself in the mirror, please. You can't even carry a weighted bag for more than ten miles, yet you want to be as powerful as the Head Sergeant? Dream on! ” A comrade guffawed.

Inside the base, the workers were exchanging lighthearted banter and jokes with each other while praising their new Head Sergeant.

However, inside the barracks, the soldiers sat quietly on their beds, heads drooping and shoulders slumped.

”Tank… do you think Head Sergeant is mad at us?” The stone-faced young man asked cautiously.

Tank's face was paler than the frost in December. He lowered his head and looked down, without offering his comrade an answer.

”Well, If I were the Head Sergeant, I would look down on you guys as well. A bunch of losers, the least competent elite unit in the military, daring to test the new Head sergeant's ability. Arrogant and stupid! Head Sergeant was invited to help us by the Military HQ. It took the HQ a great deal of work to persuade our new Head Sergeant to accept the offer. That should be enough to tell us about his abilities.”

The usually reticent Eagle-eyes said with a cold gloating smirk on his face.

His words had hit the mark. Everyone shook their heads and heaved sighs.

”That's enough. Head Sergeant had agreed to guide us, so that means there is no harm done.” A muscular young man who had not yet spoken so far finally put in.

Hearing his reassuring words, everyone managed to regain some confidence.

”Rusty, do you think our new Head sergeant is an Internal Force master just like Sergeant Huo?” The refined looking young man with a smooth face asked.

The muscular man was called Rusty, and he was the top fighter in the Cang Dragon unit.

His skills in using any sharp object were unrivaled. He was able to sever a steel column as thick as his arm using a small dagger. Even Huo Donglai could not defeat him if he didn't use a weapon. Rusty was from a traditional martial arts family and had benefited from many secret family arts. Before he joined the military, he was also a powerful internal force user.

Smooth-face's question had caught everyone's attention. They looked to Rusty expectantly.

”Internal Force Master?” Rusty sneered. ”The most powerful Internal Force user would not survive that fall. He is not a mortal, he is an immortal!”

”At least Sergeant Huo would not be able to do what he had done.”

”What? Does that mean the new Head Sergeant is as powerful as Ye Nantian? Is he a Transcendent Master?” Smooth-face asked incredulously.

The entire barracks boiled over after hearing the questions.

”Ye Nantian? You think our head sergeant is on par with Ye Nantian?” Tank asked in disbelief.

Ye Nantian was considered a war god among soldiers. During his decades of service in the military, he had made incredible contributions by completing nearly impossible missions. Tank and his comrades used to fight his retinue, the Dragon's Fang and knew how powerful Ye Nantian was first hand.

”No, he is more powerful.”

Rusty said slowly.

His dark eyes glittered and said: ”I have never seen a Transcendent Master in action before. However, I have heard from my family elders that what sets the Transcendent Masters apart from normal Internal Force users is their more powerful internal energy which allows them to release the internal force and use it as a weapon. However, that wouldn't amount to being bulletproof or surviving a hundred-meter free fall.
