Chapter 43
This woman is a bit cunning
One hundred students formed a circle on the playground outside the classroom, fighting in groups of ten at a time, with the close combat instructors scoring them.
After watching several sets, the counselor and the close combat instructor both shook their heads.
"Without awakening, there is no awakening. Not only is the strength weak, but the skills are also practiced haphazardly. It's like dancing with an old lady. It's not much better than an ordinary person."
The counselor nodded worriedly, "Yes, hopefully they'll have better luck by the end of the month."
"What are the higher-ups in the law enforcement bureau thinking? Couldn't they have trained for at least a year or two first?"
"This means that the number of White Walkers is already quite large, but they don't want to sacrifice those awakened warriors and superhumans."
"Aren't the Awakened ones meant to protect Jiangling City?"
The counselor remained silent; he dared not say anything more publicly.
While dealing with the White Walkers is important, the Enforcement Bureau is essentially the guard of Jiangling City, and also the private armed force of the Lord of Jiangling City.
"These children have no idea that they are just fuel."
"Even if you realize it, it's useless. Being accepted is the same as enlisting in the army. You think you can just get a secure job in the law enforcement team when you're nothing special? It's not that easy!"
"In the last group, Huang Bingbing will face Mao Jian, Xiang Tianyou will face Yang Ding, and Zhao Dongsheng will face Wu Dayou..."
Upon hearing the names Xiang Tianyou and Yang Ding, the students immediately became excited, and even students from the two neighboring classes came over to watch.
Xiang Tianyou is a genuine Awakened One, the strongest student among the ten Class C students, as everyone knows.
Yang Ding is a well-known gigolo at Jiangling University.
The students gathered around, not because they thought Yang Ding was so great, but because they wanted to see Xiang Tianyou beat this guy up.
It's like someone winning five million, while others complain and grumble, feeling they're no worse off than him, wondering why it wasn't their turn.
"Soon, Senior Brother Xiang will make him understand that having a good wife is useless; one still has to rely on oneself to be a good person."
"I really want to see Yang Ding make a fool of himself."
Seeing the students' enthusiasm, the counselor smiled and said, "Since everyone is so eager to see you two fight, the other nine groups can fight first. After that, we'll all watch the ultimate showdown between Yang Ding and Xiang Tianyou."
"I reckon the first place will be one of you two, there shouldn't be any suspense, right?"
Xiang Tianyou gave a cold laugh, "I'm fine."
"I have no problem either."
Yang Ding kept his eyes on Mao Jian, completely ignoring Xiang Tianyou.
"Mao Jian, you better watch out, stop staring at people's legs."
"Hehe..." Mao Jian revealed a lewd smile, "I've trained for a year or two, so beating Bingbing shouldn't be a problem."
Huang Bingbing, wearing shorts today, stomped her feet and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Mao, don't use so much force later, my arms and legs are skinny."
Mao Jian used a standard-issue knife, while Huang Bingbing used two short guns.
This shows that her family is well-off, able to afford not only weapons but also special cultivation techniques, and naturally, cultivation supplies as well.
Although it was a class of mediocre talents, its family backgrounds were still full of hidden talents.
"Huang Bingbing, Brother Mao will stop here, so you should take it easy too," Mao Jian reminded her.
"Alright, let's go."
Just as Mao Jian was about to attack Huang Bingbing with his knife, she flashed around behind him and shot him in the head.
The gun barrel was made of high-quality steel. Mao Jian's head was splattered with blood after being hit, and he immediately fainted.
The students around him gasped in surprise.
"Holy crap, that was ruthless."
The counselor was also startled. She ran over to check on Mao Jian's injuries and yelled at Huang Bingbing, "How could you be so reckless? We agreed it was just a friendly sparring match!"
"Counselor, what strength do I, a mere woman, possess? Who knew he wouldn't dodge?"
"He was only going easy on you because you're a girl, how could you do this?"
Some students felt indignant on Mao Jian's behalf.
But Yang Ding had fought Mao Jian many times and knew his strength.
Although he didn't go all out, he didn't hold back either, since it was only the beginning.
But Huang Bingbing was just too fast.
Such fast footwork is driven by internal energy; it's impossible for someone at the level of a third-grade student.
Yang Ding couldn't help but take another look at this ruthless little green tea. With someone like this in the team, the mortality rate would be greatly increased.
If you could get into Class B, why are you stuck in Class C? What does your family do?
Huang Bingbing feigned concern and went over to help Mao Jian up, "Brother Mao, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy."
Huang Bingbing took out a Qi-Nourishing Pill and handed it to him, "Do you want to take this? It will help you recover faster."
Mao Jian, who was initially very annoyed, suddenly thought that Bingbing was not bad and swallowed it without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Huang Bingbing held out her hand, "1500 yuan a piece."
"1500? Wasn't that the money you were going to use to apologize?"
"Brother Mao, are you even a man? This was a fair competition, why are you apologizing? I didn't let you eat it, did I?"
Mao Jian wanted to vomit, but he had already swallowed it.
The students were immediately shocked by Huang Bingbing's shamelessness.
"Brother Mao, you're not broke, are you?"
I will give it to you.
Mao Jian covered his head and scrambled to the side in a disheveled state.
Yang Ding laughed and said, "I told you not to look at my legs."
"You be careful too, this woman is a bit cunning."
Yang Ding let out a cold laugh. When it came to underhanded tactics, he had never been afraid of anyone.
"Alright, next up is Xiang Tianyou vs. Yang Ding. I'm warning you, stop when you've got enough. Don't go too far with your teammates. When you go down into the cave in the future, you'll need to look after and support each other."
Xiang Tianyou didn't listen to a word his counselor said.
He picked up the meteorite iron battle axe, which weighed eighty pounds, walked to the center of the circle, and looked fiercely at Yang Ding, who was holding the black gold sword.
"Dad, this is the birthday gift you gave me before you died. Today, I will use it to send Yang Ding on his way."
If he kills Yang Ding, he can claim it was an accident, and his aunt will save him; at most, he'll only serve a few years in prison.
The surrounding classmates fell silent, all eager to see just how capable the husband, trained by the genius girl, really was.
Before the counselor could even say "start," Xiang Tianyou launched the first attack, wielding an 80-pound axe aimed at Yang Ding's head.
Yang Ding simply sidestepped to dodge. As his system experience points increased, he discovered that his opponent's movements would slow down, making it easier for him to hide.
The counselor was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. "Holy crap, what grudge do these two have against each other?!"
"Xiang Tianyou, you are an awakened one. Stop here, stop here."
Xiang Tianyou seemed not to hear him and swung his axe a second time, smashing the floor tiles to pieces. Yang Ding easily dodged it and looked at him with disdain.
"If you don't listen, you won't get any meat coupons even if you win later."
Xiang Tianyou was somewhat surprised that neither of his two axe blows hit Yang's head.
Yang Ding's speed doesn't match his cultivation level.
Enraged, he roared and swung his axe three more times.
Although he possessed the strength of a thousand jin, after ten rounds of continuous chopping with an eighty-jin heavy axe, he was already panting heavily and his movements slowed down.
"It's my turn!" Yang Ding roared.
