"I've investigated the background of those Pickled Cabbage Country exchange students. On the surface, they were just members of the Taekwondo Club at Jiangnan University. But in reality, before coming to Xia Country, they were formidable martial artists in their own country. Even in some underground fighting arenas, their records were impressive... You single-handedly defeated eleven of them. Do you still dare to claim you're an ordinary student?" Dan Rou raised her eyebrows and shouted.
"Since you have such great skills in investigating people, why don't you investigate me?" Ningchuan responded calmly.
"I'm giving you a chance to confess honestly! Otherwise, I can take disciplinary action against you!" Dan Rou exclaimed angrily.
In fact, as soon as she received the news yesterday, she immediately investigated Ningchuan.
But strangely enough, with her status and authority, she couldn't find any information about Ningchuan.
It was quite puzzling, which is why she called Ningchuan in.
"What if I don't confess honestly?" Ningchuan asked.
"I am the chief instructor for this military training, and I command you to confess immediately! Otherwise, I can punish you!" Dan Rou said proudly, raising her head.
"What an unfounded arrogance," Ningchuan sneered and ignored Dan Rou, turning to leave.
"You stop right there!" Dan Rou shouted angrily.
Then, a sharp sound broke through the air from behind Ningchuan.
Hoo--
Dan Rou sidestepped, planted one foot on the ground, and extended the other leg straight, swiftly kicking in front of Ningchuan.
Ningchuan turned around, watching as the kick approached him without making any attempt to dodge. It was as if he had been startled into a stupor.
Hoo!
The kick abruptly stopped just two centimeters from Ningchuan's face!
The resulting airflow rustled Ningchuan's short hair.
"Why didn't you dodge? You, who defeated eleven experts from the Pickled Cabbage Country, is this all the strength you have? Are you scared?" Dan Rou furrowed her brows.
"You didn't intend to really hit me with that kick in the first place, so why should I dodge?" Ningchuan replied calmly.
"Is that so? It seems you're assuming that as an instructor, I won't really make a move against a student. Hmph, let me tell you, you're miscalculating!" Dan Rou sneered coldly.
She suddenly raised the leg that had stopped in front of Ningchuan, surpassing his head, and with the force of Mount Tai pressing down, she fiercely swung it down toward Ningchuan's shoulder!
This time, she meant it!
She couldn't believe that the current Ningchuan would still refrain from retaliating!
As long as Ningchuan made a move, she would definitely be able to discern his true abilities, his true identity!
When Dan Rou's kick was about to land on Ningchuan's shoulder, he made a casual move.
He raised his hand, forming a concave shape at his shoulder.
Bang!
Then, Dan Rou's leg landed right in the middle of the concave shape.
"Huh?" Dan Rou was momentarily stunned.
She felt as if her kick had disappeared into thin air the moment it landed. She suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next second, Ningchuan lifted his hand and locked Dan Rou's leg that had landed on his shoulder.
Then, Ningchuan shouldered Dan Rou's leg and took a step forward, closing in on her!
Dan Rou wanted to struggle, but she found that Ningchuan's hand was like a pair of iron tongs, firmly holding her leg, rendering her unable to move.
"Ha!" Dan Rou shouted, attempting to jump and attack Ningchuan with her other leg.
However, Ningchuan made a slight movement with his foot, blocking her other leg, and his body once again approached hers!
Ningchuan forced Dan Rou to retreat with a single leg, and in an instant, she retreated all the way to the wall!
"You bastard!"
Dan Rou immediately became furious, extending both her hands and launching an attack called "Dual Peaks Pierce Ears," aiming for Ningchuan's temples to force him to retreat.
But how could Ningchuan retreat? Instead, his hands moved faster than Dan Rou's, instantly grabbing both of her hands and pressing her against the wall!
At this moment, one of Dan Rou's legs was shouldered by Ningchuan, while the other leg and both hands were pressed against the wall, completely immobilizing her!
"Who are you exactly?!"
Dan Rou gritted her teeth, feeling a mix of shock and anger.
You see, she wasn't just some rookie.
She was a member of the renowned special forces unit in Xia Country, the Phoenix Fire!
In close-quarters combat, she could single-handedly take on ten instructors of the regular military training level!
But now, she was instantly subdued by Ningchuan, a mere freshman, and completely immobilized!
And in such a humiliating position!
"Never mind who I am. Just know that as long as I don't cause trouble for you, and you don't cause trouble for me, we can all live peacefully. That would be the best outcome," Ningchuan said, releasing Dan Rou and taking a step back.
Then he turned around and left.
"This Ningchuan... Who on earth are you? I must find out your identity!"
Watching Ningchuan's receding figure, Dan Rou clenched her teeth and took out a dedicated phone, dialing a special number.
"Phoenix Sister, I want to investigate someone," Dan Rou said.
"Why can't you investigate that person yourself? Why do you need me?" A woman's voice came from the phone.
"I can't find any information about this person... I've used all my privileges, but I can't find anything about him..." Dan Rou explained.
"Oh? A freshman who is so powerful? Could he be from one of the prominent families in the capital, undergoing training elsewhere?" the woman speculated.
"It's highly unlikely. Judging by his appearance... he seems a bit rebellious..." Dan Rou blushed as she recalled the embarrassing position she was put in by Ningchuan just now.
"Fine, I'll investigate."
The woman on the phone replied and hung up.
Five minutes later, just as Dan Rou was contemplating how to deal with Ningchuan after finding out his background, her phone rang urgently.
"Phoenix Sister, did you find out? Who exactly is this Ningchuan?" Dan Rou eagerly asked.
"I can't tell you his identity. The only thing I can tell you is, don't provoke him. If you do, the consequences are beyond what you can handle."
The voice of the woman from before came through the phone.
"What? This... How is that possible?" Dan Rou was instantly shocked and pale.
"Don't provoke him. This is an order from Phoenix Fire," the woman added and hung up the phone.
"This... This..."
Dan Rou's face turned pale. She was now contemplating whether her previous attempt to test Ningchuan had already provoked him.
...
Afterward, Ningchuan simply didn't return to the military training ground but went straight to the company.
Compared to participating in military training, he was more interested in training the security personnel at the company.
The entire security department was in chaos as the security guards were tormented and crying for mercy under Ningchuan's hellish training.
