“That’s true.” ng Chao nodded. “You usually act really gungho in front of girls.”
“Of course I have to do that. Honestly, if that woman hadn’t provoked , I wouldn’t have been able to last even one week in the heroic spirit course. It’s just too full of suffering, too tiring, and too brutal!” Chu Feixiong said in an aggrieved and frustrated tone.
“But you didn’t see how she looked at . She always looks at with this almost smirk, and there’s scorn all over her eyes. There’s also this mocking look on her lips, and even when she breathes, she breathes scorn. What’s that supposed to an?
“All I did on the first day when I enrolled in the school was to say boldly before everyone got to know each other that I want to beco the greatest general in the history of the Red Dragon City and defeat all the current generals, even Thunder God Shao Zhengyang, which she accidentally heard.”
“Thunder God Shao Zhengyang is a Deity Realm elite and an eight-star superhuman. He has led three of the ten great expeditions of the Red Dragon Army, and he’s indeed a mighty general. You can’t win against him so easily,” ng Chao said. “Speaking of which, didn’t they say that a soldier who doesn’t strive to be a general isn’t a good soldier? Even if you’re reaching for sothing beyond your grasp, it shouldn’t have made her target you in every aspect, right?”
Chu Feixiong’s face suddenly turned red. “I was foolish in the beginning,” he whispered, “and I criticized the mistakes in Thunder God Shao Zhengyang’s three expeditions. I also said that if I had led the expeditionary army, I would have done it better than Shao Zhengyang. I might have used rather crass words, but that woman’s expression changed completely.
“I only learned later that her dad is Thunder God Shao Zhengyang.”
“Um...”
Chu Feixiong continued now that he had started. “Anyway, from that day onwards, that woman treated like a thorn in her side and an eyesore. Ever since she was paired up with , she even started picking faults in everything I did. She either starts mocking by wondering how I managed to get into the heroic spirit course or persuading earnestly to switch courses, since I would sooner or later die during training.
“She then adds that she would send out with fanfare and give a grand farewell if I switched to the logistics course. She would even reach out to the middle-aged n and won over there to make sure that I would enjoy my ti and get the fifty kilograms I lost back. She has said stuff like she would do anything just so that I would change courses. Tell , is that the way to look down on soone?”
“I think that you should consider the last option, you know?” ng Chao pondered over it.
Chu Feixiong glared at him.
ng Chao raised his hands. “I was just joking. You need to fight for your dignity, after all. Even if you have to leave, you can’t leave defeated.”
“That’s right. If that woman hadn’t said anything, I would have left a long ti ago. The more she provokes , the more I want to stay in the heroic spirit course to fight against her. Even if I rank last in every class, lose another fifty kilograms, and die, I will die in the fields of the heroic spirit course.
“Then, I will turn into a toad and jump on her foot and bite her! Even if I can’t kill her, I’ll disgust her!” Chu Feixiong said. “Anyway, ever since that day, I fought against her with everything I had. I did whatever training program she set for , but if my movents were off and I was too slow, that was not my problem. I knew that I needed to improve my skills and strength, but at the very least, I was determined!
“But I have to say, that woman is seriously brutal. She just had to leave covered in wounds every single day, and even when she saw that I really couldn’t get up from the ground, she didn’t feel sorry for nor lightened the training load.
“In the end, after training for more than a month, I beca exhausted and got myself a really bad fever. I stayed in the dical cabin for three days and three nights and still couldn’t get up.
“Coincidentally, there was going to be a loaded one hundred-kiloter cross-country race in the next few days. It’s incredibly hard, which is why it’s known as Hell’s Road. All freshn have to participate in it, but that woman used her power as the squad leader and deleted my na. She said that I was sick and couldn’t take part in the race, which was just humiliating at that point.”
ng Chao was slightly stunned. “What do you an?”
“Everyone in the heroic spirit course is treating and that woman as a joke at this point. In fact, there are people who have started a gambling pool betting when I’d leave. I have been persevering all this while, and even if I rank dead last in all the matches, I join it to show those bastards my determination!”
Chu Feixiong gritted his teeth and said, “But that woman didn’t even say anything and just deleted my na. It was all because she wanted to get rid of and increase the average score of the squad. But no one else knew about it and just thought that I backed out because I’m a coward. They said that I don’t have the guts to go on Hell’s Road and pretended to be sick to avoid it!
“I got angry after that and argued back. I told her that I’m part of the Red Dragon Army, and even if I’m sick, it’s nothing. When the monsters invade, would a sick man not need to fight just because he’s ill? Who was she to prevent from going on Hell’s Road without even talking to about it?
“That woman then smiled coldly and said that with how I am right now, even if I participate in Hell’s Road, I will definitely not be able to reach the end. Instead of giving up halfway and becoming the subject of everyone’s jokes, it’d be better if I didn’t register for the race at all. It’d be better if I just stayed comfortably in the dical cabin.
“We argued and argued, and the fight increased in intensity. In the end, we made a bet on whether I’d be able to last the one hundred kiloters with a three hundred-kilogram weight on my back in the obstacle course around the heroic spirit course’s field.
“If I could do it, she would admit that I am a jade worth polishing, and one day, I can beco a mighty general. But her thods are too crude and rough, so she can’t train . She would apologize to in public and be gentler when she sets up a new logical training program according to science.
“If I lost, there was nothing else to say. I’d leave.”
ng Chao scratched his head. “You’re in university, man, and you’re even in military school. Is it really okay for you to be so childish?”
“Childish? What are you saying? Do you think I care about that woman being gentle? I just couldn’t take such an insult lying down,” Chu Feixiong said. “Honestly, I signed the form to change courses and even left my thumbprint on it. It was in my pocket. I had been bothered by that woman for a month, and it was ti for to end things.
“But even if I left, I had to leave with my head held high. I already thought about it. I definitely had to complete the one hundred-kiloter obstacle course with three hundred kilograms on my back. Then, while the woman was dumbfounded, I’d bring out the form to change courses and slap it against her face.
“It’d show her that she just ended up making an outstanding person leave in anger and that Dragon City had lost a great general who could win all fights just because of her pettiness and harsh nature. I wanted to humiliate her and make her beg not to leave.
“Of course, I’d definitely not leave. Heroic spirit course? I don’t care about that! Think about it, wouldn’t it be really elegant? You’d feel good too, right?”
ng Chao said, “I think that you have a really good imagination.”
“Anyway, before I fully recovered, I ran that obstacle course. And let tell you, a one hundred-kiloter obstacle course with a three hundred-kilogram weight is really freaking hard. If I were my usual self, I’d have started begging for rcy after about fifty kiloters, but that woman was beside , watching with an intense gaze!” Chu Feixiong said.
“Every ti I finished a lap, I saw her dumbfounded expression, and I imagined her feeling ashad and regretful after I finished. Heh, and then, without realizing it, all my fatigue and pain disappeared. I was filled with an endless amount of motivation. As I ran, I actually—”
“Finished one hundred kiloters?” ng Chao asked.
“Hahaha! You wouldn’t expect it either, but I ran one hundred and twenty kiloters, which shocked that woman. Based on what she said later, I ran as if I were possessed, and even when she called out to , I wouldn’t listen. When she went to stop , I just stared straight ahead and bypassed her. If I couldn’t bypass her, I moved forward while pushing her.
“I was so strong that she couldn’t stop . In the end, she had to ask the lecturers for help, and they carried to the dical office. Each of them held one of my limbs.”
Chu Feixiong first laughed, but then he covered his face, and his shoulders shook. “It’s only later that I learned that at so point in ti, Stupid Soldier Xu Wanshan’s heroic spirit bound itself to , and with his help, I managed to run more than one hundred and twenty kiloters!”
ng Chao connected the dots in his best friend’s words, pondered them for a while, then understood what happened.
“So, Stupid Soldier Xu Wanshan’s heroic spirit had been lingering around the field in the heroic spirit course while looking for a heroic spirit user who would resonate with him? And he was searching for soone who is honest, foolish, determined, perhaps not very outstanding in terms of his martial arts, gun technique, and intellect, but determined?”
ng Chao smacked the table and said, “But even if he turned into a heroic spirit, he still couldn’t wrap his head around it, huh? He didn’t rember that all the students who managed to get into the heroic spirit course were elites among elites. Their determination was definitely strong enough, but they weren’t honest, foolish, only had average skills in martial arts, gun technique, and normal IQ.
“Fortunately, God never forsakes those who work hard. He waited for many years, and he finally found you, you joker. At first glance, you’re practically the sa as him.
“Heroic spirits have no will, so he didn’t know that you made a bet with your squad leader. He just thought that you’re the sa as he was in the past, and by so strange coincidence, as you ran, your vitality magnetic field and his spirit energy magnetic field resonated and fused together. You inherited Stupid Soldier Xu Wanshan’s strength and dying will, and you beca a glorious heroic spirit user, is that it?”
“That’s right. That’s what happened,” Chu Feixiong said with a depressed face. “Since Xu Wanshan’s strength as a heroic spirit was too weak, in the beginning, the lecturers in the heroic spirit course and the dical doctor couldn’t even sense him. They sent to be treated in the dical cabin.
“In the end, I got up with a muddled head in the middle of the night as if I was daydreaming. With great familiarity, I went to the corner of the school campus and practiced the Army Fist the entire night before I was discovered. Everyone was shocked and sent back to the dical office.
“I didn’t know what was going on myself. I seem to rember it, but I don’t seem to know anything either. I just felt numbness and pain all over, and that my muscles had no strength. I didn’t even have the strength to poop, but there was this urge in my heart. When I saw a field, I wanted to run in it. When I saw a horizontal bar, I wanted to rotate over it. When I saw grenades, I wanted to throw them. When I saw nothing, I wanted to practice my Army Fist. Not even five n could stop .
“In a short week, this sort of thing happened four tis. In the beginning, the doctor thought that I was obsessed or had started sleepwalking. Later though, a veteran in the military school saw sneaking out to train and realized that my gait, posture, and foolish deanor was exactly the sa as Stupid Soldier Xu Wanshan’s!
“So, he asked the most powerful lecturer and the greatest specialist from the heroic spirit course to examine . They used the most advanced equipnt and finally found Xu Wanshan’s heroic spirit. They also discovered that his heroic spirit had embedded deep into my brain and even fused into one with my soul. We can’t be separated anymore!”
