Chapter 531: Chapter 363 - Resort to Force at the Slightest Argument (first update)_2

For them, these were the most fundamental necessities of being a solider.

"Thank you." Mu Lin smiled at the soldier and then walked towards the training area of the 6th Company.

The soldier took one look at Mu Lin’s retreating figure before leaving. He had heard about the military doctor from Ying Sun. Her shooting skills were not in the least inferior to those of the best sniper in the 6th Company.

At some point in time, rumors about her had spread throughout the Military Area, arousing great curiosity among many. Now that she was seen in person, she didn’t seem much different from the rest of them and had a calm, pleasant smile on her face, which was like a breath of spring air to those who saw it.

The rumors were such that Mu Lin’s agility and shooting skills were almost divine, just a step short of matching Jing Chen.

However, many regretted that such a talented individual had chosen to be a military doctor - such a waste!

However, Jing Chen had personally recruited Mu Lin. Although some teams wanted her, they dared not compete with Jing Chen; even if they did, there was a 99% chance they wouldn’t succeed unless there was one percent chance of the individual defying common sense.

Her slim figure gradually approached the other team.

At this moment, everyone was doing pairing practice. The instructors were meticulously observing everyone’s movements from the side. They were so engrossed that no one noticed Mu Lin’s arrival.

Military Boxing, a combination of punching, kicking, grappling, knife seizing, and gun seizing, was often practiced primarily to foster the determined and brave fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Defeating the enemy with a single move was the essence of their training.

On the battlefield, there were many situations where it was not just about guns. In actions involving special tasks such as reconnaissance, anti-submarine warfare, sneaking to the enemy’s post, camouflage, and more, they often had to fight the enemy bare-handed. Hence, in addition to a strong physique, a solider always needed an outstanding martial skill to survive the battlefield.

She gave a cursory glance and soon spotted Jing Youlan and her team practicing amongst the crowd. Compared to a month ago, Mu Lin could see a significant improvement in their skills.

Unlike the training during the recruit camp, the training here in the squad was the real beginning. Many, having been through the basic training during the recruit phase, realized that whatever they had learned earlier was practically nothing after joining the squad.

Kick, punch, grapple, seize, twist!

Step by step, what ultimately had to be judged were speed and adaptability.

After giving it some thought, Mu Lin concluded that all the styles of martial arts in the world, though various in form, remained the same at their core.

"Rest in place." The soldiers had been fully engrossed in their training, and considering how preferable this paired practice was compared to other exercises, they liked it.

At this command, everyone ceased their activities, only then noticing Mu Lin standing there, lightly smiling and watching them.

The instructors exchanged a glance, having no memory of this suddenly appearing young girl; but what surprised them was not having noticed earlier someone appearing behind them.

It appears to be a martial artist.

"Mu Lin!" At this moment, several cries of surprise reached everyone’s ears. Jing Youlan and her team had not expected Mu Lin to be back.

Didn’t she say she would be gone for three months?

Mu Lin!

The instructor was surprised.

Isn’t this the sensational sniper that everyone was talking about recently? Turns out it’s such a young and beautiful girl. Considering how she looked frail standing there, many people doubted how she could be as skilled as rumored.

Really, is she as good as the rumors suggest? She looked as if she would struggle just lifting a gun. This kind of girl is more suited being protected in the arm’s crook of a man.

Also, they had heard her martial arts skills were high, almost on par with Mr. Jing. Is it true?

Unlike the others, Jing Youlan and her group rushed towards Mu Lin, entirely forgetting the instructor’s command to rest in place. However, just as they were about to reach Mu Lin, Jing Youlan’s aura suddenly changed. She swiftly moved towards Mu Lin with such speed and force that it worried the other soldiers watching.

Didn’t they say they were good comrades? Why did they start fighting the moment they met? Can the young girl dodge in time?

But the next moment, a small smile tugged at the corners of the girl’s mouth. She showed no intention to dodge.

As Jing Youlan moved to attack, Mu Lin met it with her palm without hesitation. Catching the punch with her hand, she easily threw off Jing Youlan to the shock of everyone (except Yue Qiao and her group).

Their jaws collectively dropped and they rubbed their eyes.

This can’t be possible! They must be seeing things, or maybe Jing Youlan was just playing easy.

Despite Jing Youlan not being very burly, she was still a tall individual standing around 180 centimeters. Yet she was casually thrown away by the other person who seemed completely at ease. They certainly could not believe this.

The two of them continued to exchange blows swiftly.

Although Mu Lin did not exert her full strength, it seemed as if she was merely practicing with her.

But this was indeed a nice welcome ceremony.

"Are you trying to use me for practice?" Facing each other, elbow to elbow, Mu Lin’s voice, half teasing and half serious, reached Jing Youlan’s ears.

Jing Youlan grinned, "I wouldn’t dare." She couldn’t possibly use Mu Lin for practice, she wasn’t qualified. But smiling at Mu Lin, she added, "I just wanted to see how much I’ve improved in the month or so since I last saw you."

"And by the way, welcome back."

So, it was a welcome ceremony after all! Mu Lin burst into laughter.
