Chapter 244: Little Dragon King

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Seeing the blank look on Qin Fen’s face, Xue Tian explained, “In the East and West Asia recruit mock battle, we were declared as winners. It was all thanks to the transmitter you dug up.”

Qin Fen stared blankly at Xue Tian. So many recruits died in just one mock battle, and East and West Asia military were still concerned about who was the winner of the mock battle was!?

“Only one man survived on the West Asia side; the junior brother of Shangguan Chuanqi, Morad Tschick.” Xue Tian continued, openly and without an ounce of guilt, “As recruits on both sides suffered massive casualties, both sides want to win back some face. As Mourad brought back fewer transmitters than you, East Asia managed to save face this time. I heard that you have made a great contribution. After the end of the new recruit period, not only your rank will be higher than the other recruits, you will receive a small reward as well.”

“Mourad survived?” Qin Fen was somewhat taken aback. “Did he also repair the plane?”

“He can’t do that.” Xue Tian shook his head. “I heard that he had originally planned to pave his way through Qinghai. Later, he was found by the West Asia Army and brought back to West Asia.”

Qin Fen slowly nodded his acknowledgment. Since he could survive in such conditions, he surely would have made great progress on the road of martial dao. In the new recruit tournament, I cannot keep a contemptuous mentality just because only one man among the three heroes of West Asia is remaining.

Right then, a thunder-like sonic boom resounded through the sky from far to near. Qin Fen raised his head, looking at an X-43B fighter plane flying at high speed.

After having broken through the sound barrier and entering the supersonic speed, a vapor cone that was visible to the naked eye was produced at the front end of the plane, which was soon followed by an intense sonic boom and rumbling shockwaves.

The plane made an accelerated nosedive at a height of nearly a hundred meters above the ground. Owing to which, the windows of the cars parked next to the airport shattered into pieces without any prior indications.

In an instant, the windows of the cars were completely shattered, covering the ground with bits of broken glass.

Few of the young martial artists furrowed their brows at the same time. When Qin Fen and the others heard the terrifying sonic boom, their bodies automatically produced a true energy defense.

If ordinary people were too close to the sonic boom, they may have even been shocked to death by the sonic boom instantly.

Qin Fen furrowed his brow slightly. That flying was too much. If there were any two-star martial artists nearby, he would have lost his life from the shockwaves produced by the sonic boom long ago. Such flying was truly too arrogant.

As the plane gradually landed on the airport, a Hummer hosting American flag rushed to the place where the plane had just landed.

Looking at the young man who walked out from the co-pilot seat, a slight dismal look emerged on Xing Wuyi’s dissatisfied face. “Even he’s here!?”

Qin Fen followed Xing Wuyi’s gaze and saw a man with a tiger-like back and a bear-like waist getting down from the plane. He was strong and tall, but his heroic face appeared very bright and comfortable, looking harmless and innocent.

He made his way towards the American recruit, who jumped out of the Hummer, with a majestic gait. His eyes were bright and filled with expression. But right then, an indifferent and sharp gleam flashed passed his eyes as he suddenly looked in Qin Fen’s direction, all the while opening his arms and hugging the American recruit.

Xing Wuyi whispered the introduction into Qin Fen’s ears, “Philips Yang Lie. A mixed-blood – half-Chinese. People have monikered him with the title of Little Dragon King. Rumor has it that the Sacred Martial Hall had already sent him an invitation. Supposedly, he would enter the Sacred Martial Hall after this year’s new recruit tournament. Zhanpeng had highly praised this man and regarded him as his number one rival in the new recruit martial arts tournament.”

Qin Fen could not help but size up the distant Yang Lie. Obviously, those who were paid high attention to by Du Zhanpeng would not be mediocre.

“In addition to Yang Lie, the black men who Yang Lie is hugging, the man with the lightning tattoo on his shoulder is Mark Zumino, AKA Zeus. Before the Little Dragon King, Yang Lie came out of his secluded training, he was known as the strongest recruit in America. The neo martial art Azure Electric Drive that he’s practicing had reached the realm of the lightning soul.” Xing Wuyi clucked his tongue as he continued, “It can be said that he is not any worse than Little Dragon King.”

Qin Fen slowly nodded his acknowledgment. Xing Wuyi wasn’t speaking empty words. Little Dragon King – Yang Lie, and Zeus – Mark were both emanating an expert aura.

The Hummer passed by Qin Fen and the others at high speed. Mark, who was sitting on the passenger seat, said while looking at the rearview mirror and smiling, “Are those East Asian recruits? Isn’t it rumored that East Asia has grown weak these years? A few among them are pretty good. Especially the guy with the long sword. If there is an opportunity, I really want to have a spar with him.”

“Long sword?” The corner of Yang Lie’s lips pursed into a smile upon seeing Xue Tian stretching his lazy waist through the reflector. “Zeus, you want to fight with Xue Tian!? Then, you have to fully prepare yourself, mentally and physically.”

“Xue Tian? Dragon King, do you know him?” Mark turned back and asked, very interested, “Have you fought with him?”

“Mhmm.” Yang Lie’s eyes flickered with faint recollection. “He is truly a difficult guy. Remember, never ever blab your mouth when fighting with him. Especially when you have the upper hand, you must not say any insulting words to him. It’s best to find a way to beat him immediately. A really furious Xue Tian is enough to make any martial artist of the same age regretful and infuriated.”

“Oh? Really? You have angered him?”

Mark was rather surprised. Little Dragon King seldom praised a peer like this.

“Yes.” A bit of embarrassment appeared in Yang Lie’s recalling eyes. “His strength when he is angry and when he isn’t are totally two different concepts. It was not until that moment I understood why his nickname was Furious Beheader.”

“Furious Beheader!?” Looking at Xue Tian, whose figure had already turned very small in the rearview mirror, the lightning tattoo on Mark’s shoulder pulsated with blue lightning arcs. At the sight of this, Yang Lie could only shake his head and heave a sigh. It seems that this Zeus really wants to truly have a go with the Furious Beheader.

Qin Fen and the others made their way out of the military airport and took another Hummer. Naturally, Kyokushin Genichi became the driver.

The scenery of Switzerland was very charming. Qin Fen, sitting in the Hummer and watching the buildings on both sides, enjoyed a moment of tranquility.

The new recruit tournament may not be the top level event in the entire federal society, but it could still be regarded as a major event to the various armies of Federation’s Earth.

The new recruit tournament had even been given a small title: The Olympic Games of Army Recruits.

Since it was a tournament, naturally, there would be wins and losses. The ranking is directly related to the faces of the military of each continent. It also indirectly reflected the basic quality of recruits of each army.

Soldiers are the most belligerent group of men who attach great importance to honor.

With the passage of time and tournament after tournament, the military of each region began to pay more and more attention to the new recruit tournament, their investment constantly expanding as well.

Very soon, the Hummer drove into a barrack in Switzerland. When Qin Fen got down from the Hummer, he was completely taken aback.

Is…Is this a barrack?

Qin Fen couldn’t believe what his eyes were seeing.

In the past, barracks were filled with a disciplined atmosphere of iron and blood, except for the training grounds and the residential area.

However, the barracks before his eyes were bustling with noise and excitement. There were even many peddlers on the main roads.

The buildings on either side of the road weren’t all barracks. There were even various kinds of shops, as well as entertainment facilities like KTV.*

It was more acceptable to call it an amusement park or commercial center than to call it a barrack.

“Old Qin, you didn’t expect this, right?” Xue Tian heartily spread his hands out. “When I first saw the barracks, I also fell in love with it! Bars, night clubs, KTV…what a good barrack! More importantly, it’s not that just soldiers can come here, even the citizens who aren’t servicemen can casually enter here. In the evening, pretty girls will also appear in these places.”

After being stunned for a long time, Qin Fen heard Xing Wuyi’s comments, “This is the only special barrack on earth. The new recruit tournament had always been known for its brutality and fierceness. But if your mind and body remain taut all the time, you can easily collapse. Therefore, the Federation built such a unique barrack, so that everyone can relax after the game.”

Qin Fen gradually nodded. This had truly widened his vision. He’s seen such a weird military camp for the first time.

“In fact, there is also another reason.” Xing Wuyi continued, “This is also a place to test the self-control of recruits. Here, if you can’t stand the temptation of indulging yourself, then you will definitely lose the next game. You have to know how to use the surrounding environment to adjust yourself so that you can relax but at the same time, not sink into depravity.”

“It makes sense.” A still nodding Qin Fen then saw Xing Wuyi’s face grow a bit darker as he spoke once more, “However, there are also some weirdos who are completely ignoring the second reason why the Federation constructed these barracks.”

Qin Fen followed Xing Wuyi’s gaze and very soon discovered Xue Tian, who had already walked into the bar and was intimately chatting with two beautiful young girls.

“Ah…” Xing Wuyi seeing Xue Tian, while shaking his head, sighing repeatedly, said, “Ever since coming here, this weirdo had almost been living in the bar, KTV, and nightclubs. It is said that wine wears bowel poison, the color scrapes bone steel knife. But over these past few days, his strength had not regressed. On the contrary, he had made progress…”**

Qin Fen could only shake his head helplessly. Xue Tian’s talent could no longer be described easily. This man couldn’t be judged with normal standards.

“Forget it, let’s go and greet this team’s commanding officer.” Xing Wuyi couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s better to know the events you will be participating sooner than later.”

“What about you?” Qin Fen was a bit curious. “What events will you be participating in?”

“We will be participating in team matches and the new recruits martial arts tournament.” Xing Wuyi thought for a moment and added, “As for shooting, none of us are taking part in it.”

Qin Fen nodded again. This arrangement was not too surprising. The most important events in the new recruit tournament were the team matches and new recruit martial arts tournament. As for shooting and other events…they were slightly inferior.

Xing Wuyi and the others were not professional shooters. Naturally, the military knew what it meant to make the best use of the advantages and bypass the disadvantages, and chose other people.

“Ah?” Qin Fen’s eyes suddenly focused on a soldier dressed in an air force uniform not far ahead with surprise. “Why!? Why is there air force here in the new recruit tournament?”

The recruits participating in the new recruits tournament were all recruits who had filled in as volunteers. They had yet not been systematically allocated. Usually, only after the new recruit period would the recruits be assigned to various units.

It could be said that there were indeed many people among the recruits who applied for the air force. However, before the recruit training ended, the recruit camp went without one.

“Of course, the air force will be here.” Xing Wuyi’s expression looked like he believed it was right and proper. “Each continent military competes for comprehensive strength. So, not only is there an air force tournament, there were also mobile armor and cosmic warship tournaments. However, they were still all recruits a year ago. In theory, they are still recruits in their respective branches.”

Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders. Compared to Xing Wuyi, who hailed from a military family, there was really a big difference in the information about the army.

Qin Fen had no choice but to be convinced. Compared to ordinary people, the descendants of the aristocratic families had far too many advantages. Whether it was the extent of their information or the level of intelligence or the quantity and quality of the various auxiliary items, they were all beyond the expectations of ordinary people.

The evolution pearl and the biochemical beasts could quickly widen the gap between the two people with almost identical qualifications.

Thus, with the help of various auxiliary materials, the descendants of the aristocratic families with slight better natural endowments could easily become geniuses to ordinary people.

The place where East Asia participating recruits reported from was still a very orthodox barrack.

Having knocked on the door and entering the room, Qin Fen gave a standard military salute and said loudly, “Recruit, Qin Fen, reporting, sir! Awaiting your instructions, sir!”

Sitting behind the long table was a tall and stout soldier, revealing an aggressive aura. The uniform on his body was neatly worn, and there was a shining golden general star pinned on his shoulder.

“Qin Fen?” The Major General put the documents in his palm together as he raised his head and said, “I have heard of you. You did a good job in East and West Asia mock battle, bringing glory to our East Asia Military. I hope that in this new recruit tournament, you are determined enough to strive for our East Asia.”

“Yes, sir!” Qin Fen stamped out a loud and clear sound with his new boots. “I will devote my every effort, sir!”

“Very good.” A satisfied smile appeared on the Major General’s face. “During the new recruit tournament, I will be your highest commanding officer. If you need anything, you can let me know anytime. If the recruits of other continents are provocative or aren’t obeying the army rules, you can beat them first and report later. If their commanding officer appears, you can say that I, Zhao Huzi asked you to beat them.”

“…”

Qin Fen stood straight and did not speak anything. Listening to this, it seemed that the new recruit tournament wasn’t usually peaceful.

“Did you hear that? Answer me!” Zhao Huzi suddenly shouted.

Once again, Qin Fen stamped out a loud and clear sound with his boots as he answered loudly, his body straight as a javelin, “Reporting, sir, I heard it loud and clear, sir!”

“Very good.” Zhao Huzi threw a magnetic card to Qin Fen. “Kid, this is your tournament ID. It also records the events you will be participating in. There are many card readers on the streets, you can check your matches at any time. You can go now.”

“Yes, sir.”

After having saluted, Qin Fen quickly took his leave out of the room.

Du Peng and the others had already left, using every bit of time before the tournament to improve their strength. It had already become the creed of most of the participating recruits.

Only Kyokushin Genichi was still standing honestly at the entrance.

“Teacher…”

“Let’s find a card reader first.” Qin Fen weighed the magnetic card in his hand. “First, let me see what the events I am going to be participating in are.”

As Zhao Huzi had said, the card readers were indeed everywhere on the street. Moreover, the OEM was very eye-catching.

As Qin Fen stepped forward and inserted the magnetic card, the LCD screen immediately showed the data in the magnetic card.

“New recruits martial arts tournament, team tournament, pistol shooting tournament, rifle shooting tournament, sniper rifle shooting tournament, mixed gun shooting tournament, integrated military skills tournament…”

The eyes of Kyokushin Genichi, who was standing by Qin Fen’s sides, almost popped out. From Xing Wuyi’s previous introduction, it was quite evident that no recruit had ever participated in so many events in the history of new recruit tournament! If the airplanes and mobiles armor didn’t require military status to participate, God knows if the military would’ve added them to the list as well..
