Sensing the change in Old Li’s expression, Ye Kunlun knew he must have recognized his identity.
“This giant python will be a tough job for Master Li,” Ye Kunlun said to Old Li with a smile. “It’s been a while since I’ve had roasted snake meat.”
Old Li nodded and looked at Nalan Mingyue. “Nalan girl, I heard he cured your illness too?”
Nalan Mingyue hummed in affirmation. “Master Li, your news is quite timely.”
“Nonsense, Li Shenglin and Cheng Fei were beaten up like that, and I’m not deaf or blind.”
Saying this, Old Li chuckled. “Alright, I can’t interfere with your matters. This will liven things up in our Northern Frontier War Zone. Let’s go back, I’ll call you when the snake meat is roasted!”
Ye Kunlun and Nalan Mingyue left the mess hall.
“Ye Kunlun,” Nalan Mingyue suddenly spoke.
“What is it?” Ye Kunlun looked at Nalan Mingyue, somewhat puzzled.
“Master Li’s gaze just now was a bit off. Are you hiding something from me?” Nalan Mingyue looked at Ye Kunlun with piercing eyes.
Ye Kunlun shrugged, feeling a bit speechless. “You’re not a worm in my stomach, I’m hiding plenty of things from you.”
“No, I mean, is it about the Northern Frontier War Zone or things related to it? Otherwise, why would Master Li’s expression seem unusual?”
Nalan Mingyue knew she hadn’t made herself clear and emphasized again.
Master Li’s gaze seemed strange because he knew what he had done in the capital.
As for the matters in the capital, Ye Kunlun was too lazy to explain to Nalan Mingyue, nor was it necessary.
“It’s nothing,” Ye Kunlun shook his head, his gaze falling on the distant training ground.
The soldiers were training under the scorching sun, their dark skin glistening with sweat, and everyone’s eyes were filled with determination!
Nalan Mingyue showed no dissatisfaction that Ye Kunlun hadn’t answered her question directly.
“These are the new recruits enlisted this year,” Nalan Mingyue explained to Ye Kunlun.
Even without Nalan Mingyue’s explanation, Ye Kunlun could see the youthfulness on the faces of these soldiers.
Despite their skin being tanned and rough, it was difficult to hide the youthful innocence bestowed by their age.
Ye Kunlun walked closer.
The instructor was a middle-aged man in his fifties, his military boxing skills were already perfected, each move powerful, as if possessing immense force.
“Instructor Wan is our Northern Frontier War Zone’s ace instructor. He’s been here for over thirty years, and he trains all the new recruits every year.”
Nalan Mingyue acted like a tour guide, introducing Ye Kunlun to various aspects of the Northern Frontier War Zone.
“When Elder Wei brought me back to the Northern Frontier War Zone, it was also Instructor Wan who trained me.”
Ye Kunlun had seen the military boxing of the Eastern Sea War Zone, and it was different from that of the Northern Frontier War Zone.
Judging by the movements, the Northern Frontier War Zone’s military boxing appeared fierce and unyielding, direct, and much more practical than that of the Eastern Sea War Zone.
However, he had already modified the Eastern Sea War Zone’s military boxing, and its practicality and power were countless times greater than Instructor Wan’s current military boxing.
“It looks powerful, but it’s still a bit showy and lacking substance.”
Listening to Nalan Mingyue, Ye Kunlun replied faintly.
Nalan Mingyue’s eyebrows twitched, and she looked at Ye Kunlun with some displeasure. “Showy and lacking substance? Ye Kunlun, do you even know who founded this set of military boxing?”
Seeing Nalan Mingyue’s displeasure, Ye Kunlun was indifferent and replied, “No matter who founded it, it has too many flaws.”
“This military boxing was founded by Dragon General!” Nalan Mingyue snorted coldly. “Forget it, I’m too lazy to explain, you probably don’t even know who Dragon General is anyway.”
Ye Kunlun froze. Wasn’t Dragon General his eleventh master?
The military boxing that Instructor Wan was performing, while it looked decent, had countless flaws in his eyes. How could it have been founded by his eleventh master?
Ye Kunlun thought for a moment and understood. If this military boxing was created by his eleventh master, it must have been a hundred years ago!
As time passed, through generations of inheritance, the original military boxing had gradually lost its essence, retaining only some basic fighting movements.
Ye Kunlun remained silent, watching Instructor Wan’s military boxing, and began to deduce the true military boxing left by his eleventh master.
After Instructor Wan finished a round, Ye Kunlun had the initial form of the military boxing in his mind.
“You brats, did you remember the movements just now? Anyone who doesn’t remember them today won’t get lunch!”
Instructor Wan concluded his movements and shouted coldly at the group of new recruits.
Upon hearing this, the new recruits’ faces fell.
Although military boxing was simple, it still had many movements. Instructor Wan only performed it once a day, and it was difficult for them to remember it completely!
“What? You can’t do it?” Instructor Wan sneered. “Those who can’t do it won’t get dinner either! Come find me when you can perform it completely!”
After speaking, Instructor Wan walked towards Nalan Mingyue. “Nalan girl, I knew you were a resilient one!”
Nalan Mingyue chuckled. “Instructor Wan, you know how hard it is to recruit new soldiers in our Northern Frontier War Zone. If you’re this strict, you’ll scare all the recruits away!”
Instructor Wan’s stern face broke into a simple smile upon hearing this. “Nalan girl, I remember you memorized the boxing moves after I performed them once. If these new recruits can’t even handle this little setback, do you expect them to go to the battlefield?”
Nalan Mingyue showed a helpless expression.
“And who is this?” Instructor Wan looked at Ye Kunlun. “Nalan girl, this is the first time I’ve seen you bring a man to the Northern Frontier War Zone!”
“What are you talking about!” Nalan Mingyue was somewhat speechless. “Instructor Wan, it wasn’t me who brought him…”
Nalan Mingyue didn’t know how to explain to Instructor Wan for a moment.
“Kid, I just heard you say that the Northern Frontier War Zone’s military boxing is showy and lacks substance?”
Instructor Wan’s gaze turned cold, becoming more sharp, like a ferocious beast targeting Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun was undaunted, meeting Instructor Wan’s gaze, and replied calmly, “That’s right, showy and lacking substance, with numerous flaws!”
“Arrogant!”
Anger flashed in Instructor Wan’s eyes. As soon as he spoke, he quickly threw a punch at Ye Kunlun.
His fist moved with great force, holding nothing back.
Nalan Mingyue was startled, not expecting Instructor Wan to attack so suddenly.
She knew how strong Ye Kunlun was. Although Instructor Wan’s military boxing was perfected, he was no match for Ye Kunlun.
Looking at Instructor Wan’s punch, Ye Kunlun curled his lips into a mocking smile and threw a punch back!
Bang——
Their fists met!
Instructor Wan stumbled back two steps, regained his balance, and his eyes revealed a terrifying glint.
“Good kid!”
Instructor Wan snorted coldly, took a step forward, and shouted, “Kid, take another punch from me!”
