Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Alliance!

The competition was about to start!

For Zhao Qiang, Tang Zhong was just a person who liked to boast. Knowing whether someone was trash or not wasn’t something you could say, but rather something you knew after comparing strengths.

After all, Tang Zhong had already made a bet with him earlier, and he was not at all afraid that Tang Zhong would resist. If he did resist, that would be just fine. After all, so many people had heard Tang Zhong talk about the bet. If Tang Zhong went back on his word, it wouldn’t matter—it would just be a question of whether he had the face to remain here.

"Now, I declare the competition begins!" Zhao Qiang said.

Then, in his hands, he took out a box that held a black boxing glove!

"Everyone should be able to see this glove!" Zhao Qiang said.

"This is a glove previously used by the Military Governor. It arrived here three days ago to be awarded to the first-place winner of this assessment. So, you all better strive to be number one!"

In fact, Zhao Qiang was speaking to the people from Dragon Hidden, completely ignoring everyone else as if they were air.

At that moment, hearing Zhao Qiang’s words, all the soldiers’ eyes lit up with fervor.

A boxing glove used by the Military Governor—if one could obtain it, it would be an immense honor.

Everyone knew that it belonged to the Military Governor!

"So let’s get started now!" Zhao Qiang said.

"The rules of the Martial Arts competition, I shouldn’t need to reiterate, should I?"

"No need!" everyone shouted in unison.

Everyone wanted the Great General’s boxing gloves.

"Now then, let the Martial Arts competition begin. Dragon Hidden, Dragon Shadow, Long Wu, one person from each group, come out!" Zhao Qiang said.

One person from both Dragon Hidden and Dragon Shadow stepped forward.

Yet, not a single one of the five from Long Wu moved.

"Why isn’t anyone from Long Wu coming out?" Zhao Qiang said.

"No need, our Chief Instructor told us to come out last!" At that moment, Gu Jin quickly said.

"Heh, your Chief Instructor is afraid you guys would lose too miserably and leave early, making a futile struggle, huh? But even if you struggle, you’re still going to lose!" Zhao Qiang sneered upon hearing this.

"No, our Chief Instructor said not to bother with any useless efforts, let you chickens peck each other, and after you’re done, we’ll come out and beat your strongest!" Gu Jin said.

The surrounding people were stunned upon hearing this; what kind of oddball was Tang Zhong after all?

Chickens pecking each other? Zhao Qiang’s face grew even uglier—he dared to talk about his Dragon Hidden like that.

"Very well... very well, a bunch of idiots who only know how to be beaten, you can come out last. I really want to see how Tang Zhong has trained you all!" Zhao Qiang said.

Then he turned to the people from Dragon Hidden and gave them a look, signaling that if they encountered anyone from Long Wu, to beat them mercilessly, to beat them to death.

The soldiers from Dragon Hidden quickly understood and their eyes started to turn fierce.

The first competition was Martial Arts.

Martial Arts was about fighting one-on-one.

Now, on the stage, two people were fighting, wearing short sleeves, punching and kicking, aiming to knock the other off the stage to win.

And typically, the matches lasted within two minutes.

Chen Dagang went up to the stage. Having been knocked down by Tang Zhong yesterday and not being severely injured, he was now ready to leave the men from Long Wu with no place to rest in peace. His opponent was a person from Dragon Shadow. Both sides engaged in combat, Chen Dagang charged forward with an entire leap.

He was already very well-known among the three forces, throwing a punch straight into his opponent’s face.

The person from Dragon Shadow immediately defended, successfully blocking Chen Dagang’s fist.

Just then, Chen Dagang kicked out, aiming straight at his opponent’s stomach.

With a boom, the opponent was kicked down to the ground, convulsing all over, his face extremely unsightly.

Chen Dagang won!

Two thousand from Dragon Hidden and one thousand from Dragon Shadow were all tensely competing.

They were all quite familiar with their own abilities. If there was a great disparity in strength, the weaker combatant might surrender immediately upon stepping onto the stage.

The competition continued in this manner.

Zhao Qiang watched the soldiers of Dragon Hidden and couldn’t help but nod. It seemed that his special training over the past few days had been effective; carrying sandbags every day and running several kilometers, such training indeed worked. Then he glanced at Long Wu and others, a slight smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. He actually wanted to see what kind of prospects the continuously beaten soldiers of Long Wu could have.

Two by two, out of more than three thousand, over two thousand were already eliminated.

Now, there were still more than five hundred from both Dragon Hidden and Dragon Shadow who had successfully advanced.

Just as the fight was about to continue,

Zhao Qiang stopped them, asking them to pause. Then, looking at the five from Long Wu, he said, "Although your Chief Instructor said not to make a move, the martial arts competition has already progressed to this extent. I think it would be inappropriate for your people from Long Wu not to participate now!"

Usually, people from Long Wu couldn’t even make it into the top five hundred, let alone the final top twenty in martial arts.

"I think General Instructor Zhao might be mistaken about one thing and misunderstood our Chief Instructor’s intention. Our Chief Instructor’s meaning is this: all of you from Dragon Hidden are trash, not worth our effort. If you really are in a hurry, then we truly have nothing to say. In fact, I could go up now and knock all of your men to the ground!" Gu Jin said.

He had wanted to act all along, but the Chief Instructor had already arranged everything for them to follow.

Zhao Qiang sneered. Since when did the people from Long Wu have such big talk?

"Okay... okay, that’s fine, no rush!" Zhao Qiang coldly said.

A bunch of chatterboxes, Zhao believed the people from Long Wu would soon run out of things to say!

Then Zhao Qiang’s eyes swept over to Chen Huo beside him.

"Chief Instructor Chen, how about... we don’t compare anymore?"

Chen Huo instantly understood Zhao Qiang’s intention.

"Sure!"

Deciding not to compare meant the two would join forces against Long Wu.

Dragon Hidden and Dragon Shadow were in alliance.

Now that such trash from Long Wu dared to challenge them, how could the two of them tolerate that?

Then they both gave a knowing look to the five hundred on the stage.

The soldiers understood the chief instructors’ intentions.

At that moment, many chose to surrender.

For Dragon Hidden and Dragon Shadow, such a competition lacked competitiveness; Dragon Hidden was always first, and Dragon Shadow was content being the perennial second.

With such results, it held no significance for them; they were disgruntled with the people from Long Wu, who always came in last yet dared to speak like this. Both sides decided that even if they did nothing this time, they must show Long Wu their true status!

Since the people from Long Wu said they would appear last, then fine, they would accommodate the people from Long Wu.

Then it was seen on the stage, many didn’t even fight but directly chose to surrender; five hundred competitors, in just two or three minutes, were entirely eliminated.

At that moment, only about twenty soldiers remained on the stage. If one looked, they would realize that these were the formidable ones from both Dragon Hidden and Dragon Shadow, absolutely first-rate in martial arts.

A smile appeared on Zhao Qiang’s face; he was very satisfied with the outcome. Then he looked at the distant five from Long Wu and coldly smiled, "Now, shouldn’t your people from Long Wu make a move?"

He wanted to see what other excuses the people from Long Wu could possibly have!
