“This is our Empire’s Marshal Zhou Zhongguo,” Hu Zhenhua introduced to the foreign superhumans, then turned around and introduced them in turn, “These are our distinguished guests who have come from afar. This is Mr. Casal, this is Mr. Casal, and this is Mr. Sayiji…”
“Hello,” Marshal Zhou Zhongguo said, extending his hand in greeting.
“We’ve heard that your empire’s military strength is formidable, and we’ve come here because of that reputation. Is that true?” Sion asked rather bluntly.
He ignored Zhou Zhongguo’s outstretched hand, his expression arrogant and his tone flippant, making him look more like someone who had come to the military headquarters to cause trouble than to visit.
The generals who came with Zhou Zhongguo were a little angry when they saw this, but Zhou Zhongguo stopped them.
Before Zhou Zhongguo could speak, another superhuman, Sayiji, said, “Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know once we try it.”
Upon hearing this, the generals around Zhou Zhongguo were even more furious. Standing on their territory, they dared to discuss their military affairs so openly and even so frivolously. This was simply intolerable!
Soldiers possessed a strong sense of righteousness and were generally straightforward. They spoke their minds and couldn’t tolerate pretentious or provocative people. Soldiers might die on the battlefield and sacrifice themselves for their country, but they would never allow others to insult or question their empire in the slightest.
Even Marshal Zhou Zhongguo, who didn’t want to start a conflict, was somewhat angered.
“I’ve heard you’re distinguished guests from a superior civilization. It turns out people from superior civilizations are all so straightforward. I’ve learned my lesson,” Zhou Zhongguo said with a smile.
Although he was smiling, the smile didn’t reach his eyes. In fact, when he spoke, Zhou Zhongguo deliberately released his imposing aura.
The aura of a marshal was something that ordinary people couldn’t resist. It came from the baptism of countless battlefields and the baptism of bloodshed, and carried a sharp and powerful force. Ordinary people would be suppressed to death when they encounter it. For example, Hu Zhenhua was now so suppressed by that aura that he could hardly breathe, let alone speak.
However, Sion and the others seemed oblivious, their lips curling into a sarcastic smile.
Zhou Zhongguo’s brows furrowed imperceptibly, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he felt a vague u
With a gentle wave of his hand, the oppressive force that had been pressing down on Hu Zhenhua was removed, allowing Hu Zhenhua and the others to finally catch their breath.
Hu Zhenhua was very dissatisfied with the pressure that Zhou Zhongguo suddenly released, but since they were in front of these superhumans, he couldn’t be too arrogant. So he secretly remembered this debt. At the same time, they valued the abilities of these superhumans even more and were even more determined to win them over!
“We’ve come here today to visit the military district. Would the Marshal be so kind as to lead the way?” Hu Zhenhua composed himself and said.
“I don’t think there’s much to see in the military district. Why don’t we just have your best guy fight us? That way we’ll know how good your military is,” Sayiji said arrogantly.
The generals around Zhou Zhongguo were already burning with anger, and now, upon hearing this, they could no longer contain themselves. They said in icy voices, “Minister Hu, are you here today to provoke our military?”
“General Lin, what are you saying? I’m just bringing international friends here for a visit. Since our friends want to have a friendly match, we can’t refuse them and ruin the friendship between our two countries, can we?” Hu Zhenhua said confidently, turning the provocation from the superhuman into a friendly match between the two countries. There was no one more shameless than him.
Soldiers prioritized their own strength and dedicated all their time to improving it. How could they possibly outwit glib and cunning government officials? Otherwise, soldiers wouldn’t be known as “simple-minded and physically strong.”
“Since you want to play a friendly match, what do you want to compete in?” Zhou Zhongguo asked.
“Let your strongest person compete with me, and let me see just how capable you really are.”
Sayiji continued.
The generals who came to receive them were all seething with anger. They couldn’t refuse the provocation, and in fact, they were eager to fight back and teach these rude superhumans a lesson, letting them know that the Chinese Empire was not to be trifled with.
The group arrived at the military’s fighting arena, a place where soldiers usually spared in private. Soldiers were always full of energy, and sometimes they had extra energy after training, so they would come here to compete, partly to vent their excess energy and partly to understand their own and their opponents’ strengths.
“What are you going to compete in?” “Hand-to-hand combat or mecha battle?”
Upon hearing the provocation from these superhumans, a soldier was immediately filled with fighting spirit. He wanted to beat all those who dared to look down on their military and let them know that the empire was not something anyone could covet, and if they didn’t have the ability, they should obediently go back to their own countries.
“Who are you? I said your military’s most capable person will compete with me.” Sayiji looked at the person on the platform, his brows furrowed, clearly very dissatisfied.
“Since it’s an international friendly match, we naturally won’t back down. Although he’s not the best in the military, he’s still one of the best,” Zhou Yi said.
“I’ve heard that Han… Han something-or-other in your military is the most powerful. Let him come out and fight me.”
Sayiji said arrogantly and impatiently.
Upon hearing this, everyone knew that the other party was referring to Han Junzhan, and the other party also had a disdainful and dissatisfied look on his face, obviously he came to challenge the competition, and he even said that it was an international friendly match, how nice it sounded, it was simply hateful!
“Major General Han is not at the military district, and there’s no need for him to take action in this situation,” said the soldier on the platform.
Sayiji glanced at the soldiers on the platform, clearly displeased, then leaped onto the platform, standing directly opposite them with a malicious smile.
“Since you’re courting death, then I’ll grant your wish!” Sayiji said with a wicked grin.
The soldier suddenly had a bad feeling, but compared to his premonition, he was even more disgusted by the malicious smile on the man’s face. It was like a mockery of their military. How could he allow it!
“Enough talk, make your move!”
Without further ado, Sayiji threw a fireball at the soldier.
The soldier clearly hadn’t expected Sayiji to throw a fireball at him. He almost forgot that the person in front of him was a superhuman with special abilities. He had only seen videos of this ability on the official website before, but now that he was experiencing it in person, he realized just how terrifying it was.
However, the soldier’s good physical condition and instinctive reaction allowed him to barely avoid the fireball, but the next moment, Sayiji began to launch a fierce attack.
In terms of fighting ability and skills, Sayiji was definitely no match for the soldiers, but he had a special ability that made his ranged attack ability far superior to that of the soldiers, and he couldn’t even let the soldiers get close.
However, a soldier with strong combat skills cannot demonstrate their abilities unless engaged in close combat, resulting in a one-sided situation on the stage, or even…
“Watch out!” The people watching from below couldn’t help but shout, their fists clenched tightly. They wished they could rush up and help the soldier right now, but everyone knew that during the competition, only the two people on the stage were qualified to fight, and no one else was allowed to help. This was the most basic respect for the competitors.
The soldier was eventually struck by Sayiji’s fireball and knocked off the fighting platform. But it didn’t end there. Sayiji gathered another large fireball and hurled it at the now immobile soldier, clearly not intending to let him go.
Seeing this, the others disregarded everything else and rushed forward to shield the wounded soldier from the attack.
“This is outrageous! A fight should end when the opponent has made his move. You’re trying to kill him!” One of the soldier’s friends glared at Sayiji and roared in dissatisfaction.
“If you’re not as skilled as others, you deserve to die.” Sayiji didn’t take it seriously at all.
“You…” The man wanted to say something, but his companion pulled him back. The most important thing now was to treat the seriously injured soldier.
“You dare challenge me with such meager abilities? You’re really overestimating yourself. I think it would be better to send that Han guy from your military headquarters over here,” Sayiji said contemptuously.
“You’re not qualified to let the boss show up. I’ll take you on.” Zhang Xuan stepped out from the crowd and said, his expression serious and angry.
He heard that government officials had brought people with superpowers to visit the military headquarters, so he followed out of curiosity. To his surprise, he saw the other party fighting against their people, and it was a one-sided abuse. What was more, that person even called on their boss to fight him. What kind of person was that? What right did he have to make their boss fight him? He thought too highly of himself.
Even if he was a superhuman with special abilities, he was still no match for their boss.
When Sayiji saw Zhang Xuan step forward, he only glanced at him indifferently, not taking him seriously at all, and said sarcastically, “What, is that Han guy scared?” “Has he turned into a coward?” “He doesn’t dare come out and fight me?”
“Heh, you’ve got some nerve. I don’t even need my boss to get involved to deal with you.” Zhang Xuan was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs ached from the insults directed at his boss.
“Another one coming to die, well then I’ll grant your wish,” Sayiji said with a malicious smile.
“It’s not certain who will die yet,” Zhang Xuan said sharply, looking at Sayiji.
After this period of special training, Zhang Xuan was no longer the same Zhang Xuan as before. Although he couldn’t retaliate against the superpowers of the superhumans in the same way, he could still dodge their attacks. Moreover, during the battle, Zhang Xuan was trying to find an opportunity to get close to Sayiji. He had seen Sayiji’s battle from below very clearly.
Although Sayiji’s fireball attacks were powerful, his hand-to-hand combat ability was terrible. As long as you could get close, Sayiji’s superpowers could be broken without a fight. However, getting close to a superpowered person was not an easy task.
For a time, the battle between Zhang Xuan and Sayiji reached a stalemate.
“Hey Sayiji, have you been slacking off lately? You can’t even beat a human without superpowers, that’s too ridiculous,” Casal, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
“Hmph, it’s just a little bug. I was just playing with it.” Sayiji was very unhappy after being told off by Casal. His eyes turned even darker as he looked at Zhang Xuan, with an eerie light flashing within them.
Zhang Xuan’s mind went blank, and his movements slowed down a beat. sayiji seized the opportunity to attack, and a powerful fireball came hurtling towards him.
Zhang Xuan quickly regained his composure and focused his attention back on the battle, but it was already too late. He could only barely avoid vital points, and the fireball still struck him. He instantly smelled the burning flesh.
“Tch, how boring. They don’t even have superpowers yet they dare to dream of fighting against superpowered people. They’re just overestimating themselves,” Sayiji said disdainfully.
Many people were surprised by Zhang Xuan’s defeat, including Zhou Zhongguo and Zhou Yi. After all, Zhang Xuan was among the first to receive guidance from Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing, and his strength was among the best of all those he had been mentored. If even he couldn’t fight against these superhumans, then what about the others…?
