Chapter 627 - 625: Beat Downã1st Updateã
The overwhelming victory in the final round easily secured Lu Xiaobuâs success.
Amidst the astonishment of all the soldiers, Lu Xiaobu walked out.
"Young Master, let me bandage you."
Liang Lan rushed to Lu Xiaobuâs side first, winding the prepared gauze around Lu Xiaobuâs hand, round after round: "Young Master, the military camp is not our home, we need to be cautious about many things."
Lu Xiaobu nodded, allowing Liang Lan to wrap his perfectly fine hand like a rice dumpling!
And then.
A burst of enthusiastic applause quickly followed!
All the soldiers looked at Lu Xiaobu with admiration!
This person, whom none of them thought highly of, had created a miracle before their eyes.
The military camp respects the strong.
And Lu Xiaobu was the only strong one at that moment!
"Amazing!"
"Iâm thoroughly convinced, both by heart and by mouth!"
"Daring to confront Company Commander Qiu Yuelun head-on and winning with absolute advantage! I donât know about others, but Iâm convinced!"
"Looks frail, but his endurance is just too strong!"
"Definitely a powerful person!"
"Weâre sorry, we offer you our apologies."
"..."
Lu Xiaobu listened to the voices of the surrounding soldiers and nodded in satisfaction.
Not bad, gaining the recognition of soldiers is greatly beneficial both mentally and practically.
At that moment, Qiu Yuelun walked over.
His face was filled with complex emotions.
There was guilt, embarrassment, shock, and disbelief, but also a hidden trace of wariness!
"I apologize for my previous words and actions!"
Qiu Yuelun saluted Lu Xiaobu and said, "It was my arrogance, I underestimated the heroes of the world!"
"Letâs forget about these, honor your promise to me."
Lu Xiaobuâs gaze once again turned towards what looked like an ordinary belt at Qiu Yuelunâs waist.
To tell the truth, he didnât know what the belt represented.
However, he had seen the same belt on Zhang Meng and Li Jin.
And both of them treasured that belt very much!
So, whatever the belt represents, itâs definitely related to Zhang Meng and Li Jin, and even to their decision to leave the military, it definitely has a huge connection!
Since he was here, he would investigate thoroughly!
"I was just about to talk to you about this!" Qiu Yuelunâs eyes suddenly clouded as he looked at Lu Xiaobu:
"I reckon Iâll have to break my promise, I can apologize, invite you for a meal, even leave the military! But, I canât take you there!"
"And, you must tell me how you came to know about this?!"
Hearing Qiu Yuelunâs words, a smirk appeared on Lu Xiaobuâs face: "What? Are you playing with me?!"
He was truly displeased!
If you canât keep a promise, then donât boast!
He had paid a price of over a billion just now and won!
Now this Qiu Yuelun told him he couldnât bring him along, and even dared to ask him for his stake!
What? Did he think Lu Xiaobu was easy to bully?!
"I said, I can leave the military, even let you handle me, but just this one thing I canât do!" Qiu Yuelun stated resolutely: "Also, please tell me, who exactly are you, how do you know these things!"
He knew he was being somewhat despicable!
Even, he despised himself!
He wouldnât justify using any reason, he wouldnât explain, he was just a faithless scoundrel!
But, no matter what, he would never do that kind of thing over a mere bet.
"What if I refuse!" Lu Xiaobu laughed: "Iâve truly never seen such a shameless person!"
"Then I can only take action!"
Qiu Yuelun took a stance, looking at Lu Xiaobu before him, his eyes fiercely saying: "At worst, Iâll die alongside you!"
"Qiu Yuelun, have you caused enough trouble?!"
The company commander was livid with anger!
What the hell was this?
You, Qiu Yuelun, lost and messed up, yet still so arrogant?!
Who do you think you are?!
"Get out! This is none of your business, let the soldiers leave, Iâll handle this myself."
Qiu Yuelunâs eyes fiercely fixated on Lu Xiaobu.
"Young Master."
Zhang Meng then spoke to Lu Xiaobu.
"Quit the chatter, Iâm really annoyed right now, beat him down and then weâll talk."
Lu Xiaobu gestured to Qiu Yuelun as he spoke.
"Yes, Young Master."
Zhang Meng let out a wry smile.
From earlier till now, the Young Master had been openly and implicitly warning him and Li Jin not to make a move.
The Young Master is determined to get to the bottom of this!
Well, alright then!
So, he came forward with mud all over his face, looking at Qiu Yuelun in front of him: "Come on, letâs see how much youâve progressed."
"Who are you?!"
Qiu Yuelunâs heart skipped a beat upon hearing Zhang Mengâs words.
He found the voice eerily familiar.
"Letâs talk after we fight."
Zhang Meng assumed a stance, looking at Qiu Yuelun.
"Alright then, letâs talk after the fight!"
Qiu Yuelun wasted no further words and took the initiative.
He launched a standard military boxingâs Charging Punch from his waist.
Zhang Meng sidestepped to dodge Qiu Yuelunâs Charging Punch.
However, Qiu Yuelun obviously had a backup plan, folding his body into a hook punch aimed at Zhang Mengâs waist.
Zhang Meng was unfazed, and with another sidestep, he dodged the hook and casually bumped the opponent with his shoulder.
"Enough, with military boxing tactics. Donât bother comparing them with me."
Zhang Meng waved his hand and said, "Arenât you skilled in the Splitting Palm? Letâs see how much youâve improved."
"Who exactly are you?!"
Qiu Yuelunâs gaze turned sharp.
He already began to suspect, but still couldnât be sure.
"Come!"
Zhang Meng beckoned with his hand.
"Alright then!"
Qiu Yuelun pushed aside distractions, not thinking about anything else since the fight had to finish regardless.
Talking too much is useless!
Qiu Yuelun made his move again, this time, his arms transformed into apelike limbs.
These limbs swung widely and fiercely targeted Zhang Mengâs vital spots.
Truly, as the saying goes, a master reveals himself at the first move!
Qiu Yuelunâs Kung Fu was genuinely solid!
Zhang Meng felt the sharp force of the attack, nodded, and chose not to use his True Qi.
In the military camp filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, using anything inappropriate could introduce mistakes.
So, he opted for a real, straightforward fight!
As such, he didnât block directly but twisted his body to cross guard.
However, the Splitting Palm aimed for momentum!
Advancing upon contact, and contacting upon advancing!
Qiu Yuelun, not giving an inch, pressed on aggressively!
High moves were met with hooks, low with splits, horizontal with blocks, and straightforward with shifts!
Qiu Yuelunâs arms would sometimes be like rods, sometimes like whips, and sometimes like winding snakes, executing over a dozen punches in mere seconds!
Zhang Meng was surprised internally; this Qiu Yuelun really hadnât been idle, his Kung Fu had improved, no longer brash as before!
He was actually pushed into a disadvantage.
It seems he had underestimated this fellow!
"Ha!"
Just as Qiu Yuelun gained the upper hand amidst the intense fight with Zhang Meng.
He suddenly changed his style, his lower body twisting and slicing, his left arm whipping out.
Zhang Meng had been momentarily distracted and hadnât anticipated this move.
Even though he managed to turn his head and reduce most of the force, Qiu Yuelunâs fist still slammed into his face.
"Still getting distracted? You really look down on me, huh?"
Qiu Yuelun said to Zhang Meng with a cold voice.
"Okay, I apologize. Letâs go again!"
Zhang Mengâs eyes turned serious!
The Young Master was watching, he couldnât drag this on much longer!
