When Li Xiang heard Chen Ran's instructions to Lu Xiaotian, his expression changed slightly.
At first, Li Xiang was a little impressed when he saw that this guy knew how to guide. However, the more he listened, the darker his face became.
"What kind of dirty trick is this? He even told him to attack his groin. Is this a hooligan fight?"
Li Xiang could not stand it anymore, but he could tell that Lu Xiaotian had indeed taken a few blows from Xiao Yunjie already. Otherwise, with his weak body, he would have been knocked out long ago.
However, this was only a spar between comrades. It did not seem appropriate to use such a move.
The instructor at the side was also frightened. He could not help but sigh. "Although the moves Chen Ran mentioned are a little underhanded, they are indeed suitable for Lu Xiaotian. Where did this guy learn these dirty tricks?"
"These moves are too sinister. It's indeed a little overboard to use them on our comrades. However, if we go to the battlefield, as long as we can win, there's nothing to be calculative about."
When Li Xiang heard this, he still did not say anything, nor did he stop. He looked for a moment with a dark expression.
"Chen Ran is really something else. He actually knows these moves. Although it's effective, it doesn't mean anything. Whether he has true strength or not will naturally be revealed after the combat assessment."
After silently watching the match between Xiao Yunjie and Lu Xiaotian, Li Xiang turned to look at the squad leader, Zhang Tianyang, and said, "After the assessment of the four of them, give them extra training."
"Yes."
After the combat assessment ended, Chen Ran and the other three were indeed given additional training according to the company commander's request. Chen Ran and Lu Xiaotian would naturally be together, and Xiao Yunjie and Yan Poyue were on the other side. The competition between the two groups became even more intense.
Of course, everyone could tell that the four of them were given special attention when they were being trained. Not everyone in the army received such treatment. The four of them also understood the logic behind this and worked hard to train.
That afternoon, the normal training was over, but they were still training on the field.
Xiao Yunjie suddenly stopped and looked at Yan Poyue with hesitation in his eyes. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said in a low voice, "Poyue, as a brother, there are some things that I have to say."
Yan Poyue turned around to take a look. Xiao Yunjie, who had suddenly turned serious, did not say a word and continued to do chin-ups.
Xiao Yunjie continued, "I realized that we've conflicted with Chen Ran ever since we entered the army. We were indeed in the wrong with the iron door. Moreover, ever since we entered the army, we seem to have been in conflict with him. However, after recent observation, I suddenly feel that what we've done is… not right, right?"
Yan Poyue continued to practice, but he still did not speak.
Xiao Yunjie glanced at him. Seeing that he did not protest, he continued, "I know that you have a strong personality and have to strive for first place in everything. But let me say something. There's always someone better. If you want to become stronger, let's take it slow."
"Also, don't look at Chen Ran. Sometimes, he's cold, but his personality is easier to get along with than ours. He makes more friends."
"Sometimes it's okay to give in, isn't it?"
"To become stronger you admit defeat?" Yan Poyue raised his head and looked at Xiao Yunjie. He said coldly, "If you want to admit defeat, do it by yourself. I won't."
Seeing Yan Poyue's gloomy face, Xiao Yunjie's expression immediately changed. He said anxiously, "Alright, alright, alright. That's not what I meant. What I meant was that we should become stronger for ourselves. There's no need to compete with anyone, right?"
This time, when Yan Poyue heard this, he did not immediately retort and fell silent.
Ever since he was defeated by Chen Ran, he had been thinking about a problem.
"Why is it that even though I have talent and work harder than Chen Ran, the gap between him and me seems to be widening?"
"It's fine if the difference is huge, but the key is that the other party seems to have suddenly cheated. He seems to be getting stronger and stronger."
"Is there really no way to surpass that guy?"
"We definitely can't give up just like that. It's just the beginning."
Yan Poyue could not help but raise his head to look at Chen Ran, who was also training. At this moment, a military vehicle suddenly drove over and stopped not far away.
As soon as the car stopped, Company Commander Li Xiang walked down and shouted to Chen Ran and the other three, "All four of you, follow me."
"Yes."
Chen Ran and the other three immediately stopped when they heard the shout. Then, they rushed over, saluted, and got into the car.
When everyone got into the car, they realized that there were no guards in the car. This time, the company commander was driving personally.
Wuwuwu…
The car soon set off.
Chen Ran and the other three sat quietly in the car, looking at each other. No one dared to ask where they were going.
After all, after the company commander asked them to get into the car, he kept driving with a dark expression. He did not say anything and did not tell them where to go.
Only the four of them were sitting in the car, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Chen Ran could not ask either. However, he noticed that the company commander was not wearing a military uniform this time. Instead, he was dressed in casual clothes and looked like he was going out.
"Captain, where are you taking us?"
Instantly, Chen Ran recalled that such a scene had appeared in the original work.
In the original work, the company commander did bring the protagonist, Yan Poyue, to the border. At that time, the company commander was also emotional because he was about to retire. In addition, he had just met Yan Poyue who was very outstanding. He thought highly of him, so he brought him out. However, Yan Poyue was alone at that time, unlike now, when the four of them were together.
"Looks like the plot has changed. I really can't guess what the company commander is up to."
Chen Ran did not say anything. He turned around and looked around. The car quickly left the base perimeter and went outside.
Seeing the car leave like this, Lu Xiaotian could not hold it in anymore. He looked at Chen Ran and asked, "Brother Ran, do you know where we're going? It looks like it's getting more and more remote outside. Do you want to take us to the suburbs?"
As Lu Xiaotian spoke, he turned around and looked around. His eyes were filled with panic. If he had not been with Chen Ran and the others, he would probably have cried and asked to go back.
Chen Ran shook his head. "It's fine. Just wait. Don't be anxious."
When Lu Xiaotian heard this, he calmed down a little, but his eyes were still filled with panic.
After a while, the car still did not stop. At this moment, Xiao Yunjie saw that the surroundings were desolate, and he became a little nervous. He looked at Yan Poyue and began to discuss, "Poyue, what should we do? Should we ask the company commander where we are going?"
Yan Poyue shook his head and did not say anything. He looked up at Chen Ran.
At this moment, Xiao Yunjie also looked at Chen Ran and said, "Fresh Meat, why don't you ask where the company commander is taking us?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaotian also looked at Chen Ran and said, "Brother Ran, I also feel that the direction we're going in is very strange. Just ask."
Chen Ran met their expectant gazes, took a deep breath, and shouted in a low voice, "Reporting.
"Company Commander, where are we going? We still have training tonight."
Li Xiang glanced at the back through the mirror and continued driving without saying a word.
