Chapter 83: A Proud Dragon and a Fierce Tiger

Translator: Strivon Editor: Strivon

Puff ....

When Park Jong-Hwan struggled to get up, a stream of blood sprayed from his mouth. His gasping breathing consisted of staggered large breaths, as he stared at Qin Fen in shock. If his master, Bae Seong-Joon, hadn’t given him force dispersing soft armor, he would have lost his life from the series of attacks just now.

If there was just a single extra palm strike in that series of attacks, the bones of his body would have been broken to pieces. The last palm strike had clearly shattered his soft armor completely, leaving him defenseless!

Though his bones weren’t harmed, the tyrannical power had caused him to suffer from internal injuries. He no longer had the energy to continue the fight. His bones, though unbroken, had microfractures.

He thought about the terrifying attack, and Park Jong-Hwan felt as if it had occured a lifetime ago. If a palm had landed just a few inches higher, onto his throat unprotected by the soft armor, all that was needed was a moment and....

The injuries to his body probably needed two months of time to heal. Park Jong-Hwan suddenly realized that even though he had the soft armor protecting his body, the injuries he received would need no less time to heal compared the injuries he inflicted on the recruits of Third Company earlier before.

Qin Fen stared with both eyes, his essence, energy, and spirit fusing into a divine radiance akin to lightning. All the Korean recruits caught in his sweeping gaze shivered subconsiously.

“Next.”

His gaze along with the storm-like attack a moment ago had completely destroyed the Korean recruits’ courage. Qin Fen used a calm voice to speak at this time, copying Park Jong-Hwan’s action of calling for a challenger down to finest detail.

If Park Jong-Hwan wasn’t the one to have been defeated, if it was some other Korean recruit isntead, one of the other Korean recruits would step forth even when witnessing the power of the Raging Berserker Tide. They would continue to challenge Qin Fen.

However, their biggest hope they could count on—the man who had spent many days in closed-doors, coming out only after reaching the four-star level—was seriously injured from a direct and explosive attack. His arms were broken.

The pillar to their morale collapsed, and their willpower to fight collapsed completely as well.

Lin Jiaxuan stood not too far away. She was stupefied from watching such a shocking scene. So it turned out that this recruit named Qin Fen was actually this strong!

He wasn’t just strong, more important was his aura. The incomparably firm and fierce aura from simple plainness! It was an aura that was akin to dragons and tigers!

Phoenix sat atop the tree and smiled. “This is Qin Zhan’s little brother, you know. The Korean genius isn’t even worth a fart.”

Squad Leader Hao stretched his back. “The older brother is a proud dragon, while the younger brother is a fierce tiger. Indeed, a dragon won’t have a bug as a little brother!”

————-

A wave of hurried footsteps rang in the distance from behind the Korean recruits.

What soon followed was a voice of shock and fury. “A fight in military camp? You actually injured your comrades!? Whoever dares to do this, stand forth!”

A few Korean commanding officers appeared before the crowd in a very timely manner. One of them hurriedly made his way to Park Jong-Hwan’s side. He stooped down to examine Park Jong-Hwan’s injuries.

“Who was it? Show your self! What’s wrong? You want to disobey the orders of a commanding officer?”

The lead recruit of their own unit had been heavily injured. The Korean drill instructors were shocked as well as angry. They never thought that Third Company would have such a grand and fierce recruit.

The faces of the Korean recruits burned with shame, but some of them still pointed at Qin Fen. Park Jong-Hwan was heavily iiinjurred, and someone had to pay the price.

“It was me.”

“It was me!”

“I beat him up!”

“It has nothing to do with Old Qin! That guy pissed me off, so this boss beat him up!”

“I was the one who beat him up!”

Qin Fen was the first to speak, then came the emotionally excited recruits of Third Company. All the recruits who could move flooded before the drill instructors in an instant, simply surrounding Qin Fen within. There were even people dragging Qin Fen backwards. It looked like they wanted to pull him away from the scene.

He stood firm using force with his legs. Qin Fen naturally wouldn’t be moved by others. He was confident he held reason in this incident; he didn’t need to back down at all.

“It doesn’t matter who you all are! All of you are coming with me to the military law office! Fighting in private... None of you can run!”

The Korean drill instructor never expected these recruits to be so united. He could only choose the utilize military law to forcibly pressure them to the military law office. His ace recruit had been beaten up, so he couldn’t just walk away with nothing! He was taking advantage of the fact that Third Company’s commanding officers weren’t present, so he had to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

“Oh whoa! Aren’t you Cha Syun-Chae?What’s up? That recruit of yours, lying on the ground, injured two of my recruits. I want to talk about this matter with you.”

The tone of the voice was leisurely but carried some indolence. Squad Leader Hao stretched his back as he walked out from the corner.

The complexions of the Korean drill instructors suddenly darkened. The Korean drill instructor called Cha Syun-Chae had his complexion quickly restore to an expression of fury after a subtle heaviness. “The number one trickster in the military Squad Leader Hao? Let’s go. Let’s go together to the military law office. Let’s see if you can trick them too. Trick them to the point where they become blind to the evidence.”

Though the military regulations within military camps stipulated against private fights, such a situation was often ignored as long as matters weren’t taken too far. However, if this situation were to be brought to the military law office, even if it wasn’t a big situation, they would have to follow military regulations.

Cha Syun-Chae wasn’t scared of Squad Leader Hao. His meteor level strength might be decent, but he wasn’t the biggest threat out there. His trickery was very powerful when carrying out a mission, but all Cha Syun-Chae needed to do was reveal Park Jong-Hwan’s status of being the Korean Martial God’s disciple and even an unreasonable matter would become that of reason.

The East Asian Military Region would not allow their downward slope of performance to continue in this time’s Military Recruit Tournament. Many relationships and powers were utilized in secret to request the disciples of various martial artist masters to enter the military in the most orthodox manner. Park Jong-Hwan was one of them.

It was because of purely this relationship that Cha Syun-Chae was confident that not only could the assaulting recruit be discharged, he could be sent away to serve a penal sentence as well!

Of course, Cha Syun-Chae had an even deeper thought. He was thinking about the possibility of this recruit, who was strong enough to defeat Park Jong-Hwan, replacing Park Jong-Hwan as their representative in the competition. This was an exceptional chance for the State of Korea to spread their prestige far and wide.

This chance must not be destroyed!

The factions in the military camp all had their own selfish schemes in mind.

The thought of ultimately whether or not they could seize the greatest honor of winning the competition was not under their consideration.

The most important thing was to have their faction shine in the competition and obtain a decent performance, increasing the power and prestige of their faction!

Squad Leader Hao’s eyebrows shot up. He had heard much about the higher ups in the military finding external help from all sorts of martial arts masters these days.

The people scouted by the military region possessed an extremely advantageous status in a situation that escalated to the military law office.

Cha Syun-Chae had a smile that carried quite some complacency. “Squad Leader Hao, we are glad to keep you company if you want to use force!”

Squad Leader Hao’s most exquisite skills were in trickery, not fighting. Cha Syun-Chae spoke in confidence, using martial might to seize the momentum.

“If you want to fight, then I’m here!”

Phoenix jumped straight down from the tree trunk. Her face carried a provocative look.

Cha Syun-Chae’s expression froze. This woman’s strength was much stronger than Squad Leader Hao’s.

“Who do we have here? Who do we have here? Who has come to stir up trouble? You want to die? You want to sue at the military law office? Since y’all don’t consider yourselves men, being happy to tattle, just go! This boss will keep you company in a fight!”

It was the commander of Third Company, Company Commander Yan, who rarely showed himself. He disclosed a roar through his thick throat, his face wrung with furry as he walked out and his eyes filled with provocation and resent.

“Company Commander Yan, I presume you know of Park Jong-Hwan’s origins, sir?” Cha Syun-Chae realized that the situation was becoming more and more thorny. He simply utilized his most effective move, his ace-in-the-hole, seeking to quickly resolve the issue.

“I know! But what does that matter!?” Company Commander Yan raised his head and pointed at the assembled recruits. “I am their company commander! If these brats made a mistake, then there’s me, their company commander, to give them a beating! To punish them! To scold them! They are my kids! Whoever dares touch a hair on their head, this boss will fight with them to the death! What sort of company commander would I be if I can’t even protect my kids? I’d be better off going home and farm in that case.”

“You guys are so freaking noisy! So freaking noisy! Just shut the hell up and beat it! Beat it, all of you! I just barely got some inspiration when you guys chased it away with your noise! Pissing off this boss will have him open fire!”

It was Old Second of All Ages! And he held a customized and altered gun! Only God knew what model it was and what kind of performance it possessed!

Though nobody knew what gun this was, the shape of the gun was extremely sinister, faintly seeping with a hint of fiery slaughter. Anybody looking at the gun could not avoid feeling some fear.

Cha Syun-Chae looked very innocently at Gun King, also known as Old Second of All Ages. This place was quite some distance away from his research building. No matter how noisy they had been, their voices wouldn’t have traveled all the way to the research building, even if they shouted through a megaphone.

Everyone wasn’t an idiot, and Cha Syun-Chae was not an idiot as well. It was public news that Old Second of All Ages and Squad Leader Hao had an iron-tight relationship. Clearly, Gun King had been hiding nearby early on.

“Gun King, it’s best not to get mixed into these waters.” Cha Syun-Chae’s expression was a bit cold. “Just go research your guns. The waters behind this matter is very deep.”

“Okay, no problem.”

Old Second of All Ages withdrew very straightforwardly, stupefying Cha Syun-Chae. This was too unusual.

“It’s best for you to keep a good eye on that so-called genius of yours. Just don’t falsely accuse me if he gets shot dead in the middle of the night walking down some dark road.”

After tossing out these words, Old Second of All Ages left without even looking back.

The faces of Cha Syun-Chae and the other Korean soldiers had their faces turn a wave of black and a wave of white.

This was absolutely an undisguised threat. Quite a few people in recruit camp were aware of Gun King’s gun techniques. Though Park Jong-Hwan possessed decent strength, he currently didn’t have the ability to avoid an assassination from the Gun King.

If Gun King really did make a move, it might not be possible to find proof of him doing so. He would be safe as long as he didn’t personally admit to it, even though everyone would clearly know he did it.

historical

“Hold on....” Cha Syun-Chae swayed to block Gun King’s path. His expression was very grave as he said, “You really want to get involved?”

“This boss said he won’t.”

Cha Syun-Chae’s eyeballs gently swiveled around. Squad Leader Hao, Phoenix, and Gun King all appeared. God knew whether or not Butcher and the others were still waiting in the dark.

Though these people were sent to serve in recruit camp, they had chosen this self-exile on their own accord in a certain sense. They still had some ability in the higher levels of the military, for quite a few officers had been trained by them or were their comrades.

If the situation really did escalate that high, then it wouldn’t be easy to clean it up at the end.

Cha Syun-Chae took a deep breath to calm himself, but he kept cursing to himself in his heart. Things are really screwed up. Things just had to happen with Squad Leader Hao’s company, and the people beaten up just so happened to be his soldiers. If they hadn’t been beaten up, perhaps Squad Leader Hao would have just watched without lifting a finger.
