Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Quick Recovery
This...
Staring at the familiar figure lying below the stage, the bald man widened his eyes, full of disbelief.
Brother Dai actually lost?
How is this possible!
"Qin Tian won! Haha, Qin Tian, you won!"
Xiao Yunlong excitedly jumped onto the stage, vigorously shaking Qin Tian’s shoulder, his face flushed with excitement.
Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao were pleasantly surprised; no one expected that Qin Tian, who had been oppressed the entire time, would suddenly turn the tables and knock the bearded man off the stage.
"Qin Tian is really amazing, his sword technique has obviously improved compared to two days ago."
"That’s just one aspect. The most important thing is, he just used Spiritual Martial Techniques."
"Thunder Blade Technique, fast and fierce. He had been holding back on using Spiritual Energy before, just waiting to launch a sudden attack at the last moment."
"..."
Below the stage, everyone was buzzing, generously praising Qin Tian.
The bearded man got up, his chest’s clothing ripped open in several places, his skin flushed and slightly bleeding, but to him, this wasn’t even considered a minor injury.
What really bothered him was his defeat.
"Damn, I underestimated him."
The bearded man clenched his fist. He saw Qin Tian constantly fighting physically and assumed he was a Superpower User, not expecting that at the last moment, this guy would explode with such surprising speed and catch him off guard.
If it were a battlefield situation, he hasn’t lost yet and would be fully confident he could kill the opponent.
But just now, being on the stage, the default rule was losing if you were thrown off, unless he shamelessly denied this unwritten rule and continued to fight on the stage.
But doing so, in at most one day, word would spread throughout the military camp, and his reputation would be ruined.
"Brother Dai, are you alright?"
The bald man hurried over and asked with concern.
The bearded man’s face was unpleasant, "I’m fine."
"Then shall we..." the bald man asked tentatively.
The bearded man tossed the training sword onto the ground and turned to leave.
"Brother Dai, wait for me."
The bald man quickly followed.
Watching the two leave, Xiao Yunlong stood on the stage with a sly smile and shouted loudly:
"Take care, no need to see you out."
"And, don’t cause trouble after drinking next time, or you’ll get hit from behind again!"
"Hahaha~"
Laughter erupted behind him.
The bearded man paused, his fists clenched tightly, his chest heaving, eyes blazing with anger.
"Brother Dai."
The bald man cautiously watched him, afraid that Dai Jun, in a fit of anger, might turn back and fight with the people behind them.
Not to mention the subsequent consequences, there were a dozen people, and only two of them, they’d surely be heavily defeated if a fight broke out.
He was here to bolster prestige, not to take a beating.
"Let’s go!"
The bearded man squeezed a word through his teeth, quickening his pace to leave the base of the 319th Legion.
"Get lost."
Xiao Yunlong made a middle finger at their backs, then looked at Qin Tian with a hint of a smile at the corner of his eyes:
"Qin Tian, didn’t expect you to be so sneaky, even hitting people from behind."
Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao walked up to the stage together, smiling.
Indeed, who would’ve thought that the usually aloof and silent Qin Tian could do such a thing.
It must be said, it was quite a contrast, and...
Quite endearing.
"Qin Tian, thank you."
Liu Zhaozhao looked up at Qin Tian, her voice light but full of sincerity.
She knew very well that Qin Tian did it to vent her anger.
What touched her the most was that after doing it, Qin Tian didn’t reveal a bit. If those two hadn’t come over looking for trouble, she might never have known what Qin Tian did.
"It’s nothing."
Qin Tian’s lips curved into a slight smile.
"Qin Tian, I saw your hand got hurt just now. Let me find some medicine for you."
Xiao Yunlong pulled Qin Tian’s right hand up and paused after a glance.
The hand burned red by the Flame Spiritual Energy earlier was now fair and smooth, not a trace of scar.
Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao also noticed this and couldn’t help showing their surprise.
"My recovery ability is quite good."
Qin Tian put down his hand, explaining.
[Quick Recovery] is a Green Talent, with extraordinary effects.
Ordinary surface wounds heal in a few minutes, and shallow cuts disappear in just a few breaths.
Xiao Yunlong’s mouth twitched, running faster than a Spirit Cat, stronger than a Beastman, and with such a strong recovery ability too.
And you say you’re not a Super Warrior?
At this moment, the onlookers crowded over, speaking out one after another.
"Qin Tian, you were really cool just now."
"Exactly, that strike was so fast, I didn’t even have time to react before I saw you knock him flying."
"That guy was actually quite strong, it’s just that our Qin Tian was even more impressive."
Having their base trespassed, everyone felt anger inside, but due to that Bauhinia Medal and the prestige of the White Tiger Legion, everyone could only suppress their anger.
But seeing Qin Tian defeat the bearded man and send him away disgraced, they couldn’t be more satisfied.
"Haha, thank you all for backing us up."
Xiao Yunlong cupped his hands and laughed loudly. If it weren’t for the many people around them, those two guys might not have left so easily.
"Why thank us, we’re all from the same battalion, can’t let outsiders show off here."
"Exactly, if they dare to come again, be sure to contact us."
Everyone chimed in.
......
White Tiger Legion Base
"Dai Laohu, weren’t you going to settle a score?"
The brawny man glanced at the bearded man’s pale face, raising an eyebrow: "What, did you get beaten back?"
The bearded man paused, staring at him without a word.
"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Dai, don’t look at me like that, I was wrong."
The man raised his hands in surrender, knowing full well Dai Laohu’s fiery temper; this was the guy who could shove his intestines back and continue fighting Beastmen even after getting stabbed in the belly.
If he angered Dai Laohu, this guy would definitely give him a beating even if it meant facing confinement.
"Scram."
The bearded man coldly said.
The man shrank his neck and quickly walked away.
"Brother Dai, don’t be angry. You were just careless, really. On the battlefield, their whole team wouldn’t be enough for you to kill," the baldy consoled.
"Losing is losing; I’m not someone who can’t afford to lose."
The bearded man gritted his teeth, saying so, but he still couldn’t swallow his anger.
He got hit from behind and, when he went to settle the score, got beaten back home.
Since joining the military, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Brother Dai, if worse comes to worst, I could get someone to keep an eye on that brat and, when he’s alone, give him a good beating," the bald man suggested.
The bearded man glanced at him and snorted:
"I’m not doing such underhanded stuff. If we’re going to fight, it’ll be fair and square."
Upon hearing this, the bald man awkwardly smiled.
You’re the boss, you say it, and that’s how it is.
Beep beep beep~~
At this moment, the bearded man’s smart wristwatch beeped several times.
He checked it and immediately revealed a sinister smile.
"This mission came just in time~"
"Brother Dai, what mission?" The bald man leaned over.
The bearded man said, "A brother’s company suddenly went missing on their way back from Lieyang Valley. The Military Department suspects it’s those Southern Snake-men. Now they want us to find clues and take out two Snake-men strongholds as we go."
"Notify the brothers, get ready to head out. Tonight, I’m having snake stew."
"Yes!"
