BANG!
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully. Zhou Zijian walked in aggressively with seven or eight recruits.
Zhou Zijian could not stand Yan Poyue's usually arrogant look. When he found out that the two of them were here, he immediately brought people over. He did not expect to find Chen Ran here as soon as he entered.
"Why is he here?"
All the recruits knew that recruits could mess with anyone, but they absolutely could not mess with Chen Ran.
His personal strength crushed everyone in the recruits. His background was not ordinary. It was said that the icy female staff officer of the regiment, Ai Qianxue, was his aunt!
Zhou Zijian smiled at Chen Ran and said politely, "Brother Chen, I didn't know you were here. I came here today mainly because I don't like someone and want to settle things. In order to avoid affecting you, please step out for a while. What do you think?"
Chen Ran knew what Zhou Zijian wanted to do. This guy was actually not a bad person and his strength was not bad. He just could not stand Yan Poyue and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Not many people were used to Yan Poyue's proud and aloof personality.
Chen Ran smiled faintly and said, "It's fine. You guys go ahead and play. I'll wash up. But before you guys start, I'll give you a friendly reminder. It's 11 p.m. now. If you guys want to play, it's best if you make a big commotion. The bigger the better. This way, everyone won't have to sleep and can get up to watch the show. It's quite good."
Hearing Chen Ran's words, Zhou Zijian's expression changed slightly and he frowned.
"Is that a warning?"
Zhou Zijian was not an idiot. If it was someone else who said this, he would definitely ignore them and start fighting without saying anything. However, the person who said this now was Chen Ran.
Who was Chen Ran?
That was the famous Leopard. On his first day as a recruit, he directly broke into the rankings of the Dragon Tigers and Dogs in the company and forcefully pushed the dogs off the rankings, upsetting their rankings.
This guy won first place in all the recruit training programs, first place in running, first place in throwing grenades, first place in obstacle courses, and so on.
Of course, these were all chores. It was nothing. What was the most important thing? Fighting!
Fighting was the best way to show whether a man was the strongest. Zhou Zijian had many years of combat training experience and firmly believed that his fighting skills were not inferior to ordinary people, including Yan Poyue.
This was also the main reason why Zhou Zijian looked down on Yan Poyue and dared to challenge him. As for Chen Ran…
He subconsciously looked at Chen Ran. His strong muscles, perfect lines, 1.8 meters tall, and powerful aura were enough to make people give up on the idea of challenging him.
Zhou Zijian swallowed his saliva. Whether it was a threat or a warning, the meaning was obvious. He did not want him to make a move at this time.
"If we were to fight head-on, who knows what kind of trouble we will cause? Forget it, just bear with it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
He turned to look at Yan Poyue and said fiercely, "Kid, I heard that you're very arrogant!"
When Xiao Yunjie saw Zhou Zijian pointing at Yan Poyue with his finger, he walked up to him unhappily and said, "What's this stupid finger of yours? So what if he's arrogant? Isn't Poyue less arrogant than you? If you can't stand it, don't look at it. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Zhou Zijian wanted to push Xiao Yunjie away, but Yan Poyue pulled him back first.
Yan Poyue said to Xiao Yunjie indifferently, "Ignore him. It's not worth it to be imprisoned after injuring someone."
"Who are you looking down on?" Zhou Zijian roared.
Yan Poyue sneered and said, "It's useless to shout here. If you're not convinced, see you in the arena tomorrow."
After saying that, she did not even look at Zhou Zijian. He picked up her toiletries and walked out.
In the face of Zhou Zijian's provocation, Yan Poyue did not want to bother with him at all. Among all the recruits, the only person worthy of being treated as an opponent was Chen Ran. The others were not worthy of his attention at all.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunjie quickly followed. Before he left, he turned his head and said to Zhou Zijian, "Rest well today so that you can get punched tomorrow."
Zhou Zijian said with a livid expression, "We'll see who is punched tomorrow!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Chen Ran. The other party acted like nothing had happened just now. He had already washed up and was about to leave.
Zhou Zijian did not say anything else and turned around to leave with his men.
The next morning, all the recruits gathered in the arena.
Zhang Tianyang stood in the middle of the two rows of teams and shouted, "Today, the combat assessment will officially begin. This is the best time to test the results of your training during this period of time. Those people who usually clamor about being the strongest every day and won't submit to anyone have their chance to perform today. Next, it's not about who's stronger or weaker, but about your battle results!"
"We'll split into two groups. You can use the moves you're best at and stop when you're done. Do you understand?"
"Understood," everyone shouted.
"Next, let me talk about the assessment criteria…"
After Zhang Tianyang finished explaining the assessment criteria, with a whistle, the intense assessment began.
As time passed, it was finally Yan Poyue and Zhou Zijian's turn to fight.
After the squad leader finished reciting their names, the two of them stepped out of the line and walked into the combat circle, standing opposite each other.
Zhou Zijian's eyes were filled with provocation. He got into a horse-riding stance and stretched out his hand to hook Yan Poyue's finger. Instantly, his hatred was maxed out!
Beep!
After the whistle was blown, Zhou Zijian clenched his fists tightly, cracking his joints. He threw a heavy punch straight at Yan Poyue's face.
It was obvious that Zhou Zijian had a good foundation and was very strong.
However, Yan Poyue's reaction speed was even faster. When the fist was right in front of him, he quickly turned his head sideways to dodge the attack.
The punch missed. Zhou Zijian immediately felt that something was wrong, but it was too late.
Yan Poyue flipped sideways and immediately kicked Zhou Zijian. With a bang, Zhou Zijian fell to the ground.
Cheers came from the arena. Xiao Yunjie shouted excitedly, "Poyue, good job!"
Zhou Zijian's face was red with anger. He quickly got up and raised his leg to kick Yan Poyue again.
Yan Poyue was already prepared. He dodged Zhou Zijian's kick a second before it came, and then he threw a punch at Zhou Zijian's abdomen.
This speed was so fast that Zhou Zijian had no time to dodge.
In the next second, bang!
Zhou Zijian felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He staggered back a few steps and almost fell out of the competition circle.
Beep beep beep!
Zhang Tianyang blew his whistle and shouted, "Yan Poyue wins! Fall back in line!"
Yan Poyue turned around and walked back to the group. Zhou Zijian looked at Yan Poyue's back and suddenly charged at him again. He exerted strength in his legs and leaped into the air. He quickly grabbed Yan Poyue's neck and twisted it forcefully. His speed was astonishing.
Zhou Zijian knew that his speed and strength were not comparable to Yan Poyue's. He could not fight him head-on. He could only use this underhanded method.
Xiao Yunjie shouted anxiously, "Look out, Poyue!"
Yan Poyue did not expect Zhou Zijian to do this behind his back even though he had already blown the whistle.
The other party was very fast and powerful. Yan Poyue almost fell, but when he reacted, he exerted strength in his feet and actually stopped in his tracks. He stood there steadily, and no matter how hard Zhou Zijian tried, he did not move at all.
Zhou Zijian's face was pale.
"This is my trump card. In previous combat competitions, even top-notch combat experts can't dodge this move!"
