At the Dragon Fang selection site, elites from all over the country gathered.
On the vast training ground, there were over a thousand young men with imposing demeanors.
But at this moment, they all looked like raw recruits, looking around with curiosity at everything around them.
Today was the first day of the Dragon Fang selection trials, and according to the rules, half of the participants would be eliminated.
The remaining participants would proceed to the next round of selection until only fifty were left. These fifty would be the final members of the Dragon Fang special operations team.
Zhong Jiaheng stood in the front row of the crowd. His back was straight, and the sunlight fell on his face. He unconsciously curled the corners of his lips upwards.
“You’re Zhong Jiaheng, aren’t you? I didn’t expect you to participate in the Dragon Fang selection trials. I’ve heard of you. You were first in the special forces competition organized abroad.”
“What! That’s so fierce? Then you’re basically cheating!”
“Yeah, someone who won first place in the special forces competition. You don’t even need to compete; it should be a guaranteed spot!”
The people in the front rows showed bitter smiles.
Zhong Jiaheng feigned humility, saying, “You’re exaggerating. Even if I won first place in the special forces competition, I still have to go through the process. Let’s all work hard together.”
“Do you still need to work hard? Which one of us hasn’t participated in the special forces competition? You’ve already gotten first place, and none of us can beat you. You’ll definitely be selected, so don’t be so modest.”
The crowd spoke in one voice, and Zhong Jiaheng immediately became the focus of everyone’s discussion.
In their eyes, Zhong Jiaheng’s selection for Dragon Fang was a foregone conclusion.
“By the way, I heard a distinguished guest will give the opening speech. Does anyone know who this distinguished guest is?”
Someone asked curiously.
“I know. I’ve already met Chief Instructor Zhang at the entrance. According to him, this person is his teacher.”
Zhong Jiaheng did not forget to share what he had heard.
As soon as he said this, the entire venue erupted.
The teacher of Chief Instructor Zhang, wasn’t that a divine existence?
For a moment, everyone began to look forward to the appearance of this divine figure.
As expected, Zhang Jianyie appeared at the venue in an inspection vehicle, waving his hands to greet everyone.
“Comrades, you’ve worked hard!”
“Defend the country!”
The crowd shouted in unison, their loud voices deafening.
Everyone was filled with passion.
“Alright, now I invite the King of Mercenaries, my teacher Lin Qilang, to give the opening speech!”
Zhang Jianyie was satisfied with the atmosphere. As his words fell, all the guards at the scene sprang into action.
Hundreds of guards, all fully armed, stood like a wall of steel, tightly protecting the podium.
In the sky, several escort aircraft hovered, releasing colorful smoke.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were blazing with excitement, almost to the point of tears.
“My God! It’s actually the King of Mercenaries, Lin Qilang!”
“He, he’s actually come to Qingcheng!”
A few people who had heard of Lin Qilang’s name could not bear the immense shock and collapsed on the ground.
Even Zhong Jiaheng bit his lip in disbelief.
It was no wonder; Lin Qilang’s name was too famous.
With his own power, he pacified countless wars.
With his own power, he created the legend of mercenaries.
Lin Qilang was a divine figure in the eyes of soldiers all over the world.
No one didn’t want to be like Lin Qilang.
And no one could be like Lin Qilang.
No wonder Zhang Jianyie called this distinguished guest his teacher; it turned out to be Lin Qilang!
Everyone understood at this moment.
They took deep breaths, their fiery gazes fixed on the podium, waiting for this legendary figure to appear.
After a long while, a towering figure appeared on the podium step by step, bathed in sunlight.
The sunlight shone on his face, making him as dazzling as a god. The crowd could not see his face clearly.
But from his tall figure, they could feel the fierce and powerful aura that could swallow mountains and rivers.
Zhong Jiaheng swallowed hard, staring at the blinding light, trying his best to open his eyes and see Lin Qilang’s face.
He regretted not having his phone now. If he did, he would definitely record this glorious moment.
At that time, countless people would envy him for possessing a photo of Lin Qilang.
Unfortunately, no one was allowed to bring electronic devices here. Even Zhang Jianyie was not qualified to take photos.
Fortunately, the sunlight gradually weakened, and Lin Qilang’s face slowly became clearer.
It was a face devoid of expression, a young yet resolute face.
Lin Feng stood impeccably on the stage, a dark green coat draped over his shoulders. The shoulders of the coat were adorned with badges of two wild wolves.
The wolves, as if alive, roared with their violent heads bared, their fangs exposed. In the sunlight, they were full of ferocity.
“It’s him, it’s really him…”
Upon seeing Lin Qilang’s face clearly, Zhong Jiaheng at the front row was stunned.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, confirming several times, and finally realized that Lin Qilang was Lin Feng.
At this moment, he was completely beside himself, utterly disoriented.
The words Xia Xue had said before flashed through his mind.
Without Lin Feng, the opening ceremony could not have proceeded.
She, Xia Xue, did not need to rely on anyone. If she did, Lin Feng’s words could have made her soar to success!
My God, cousin Xia Xue wasn’t joking.
Lin Feng was Lin Qilang, the King of Mercenaries, Zhang Jianyie’s teacher…
Oh my god!
Zhong Jiaheng trembled, clutching his head, and slumped to the ground, completely panicked.
“What’s going on? No fooling around! Stand at attention!”
The officer responsible for maintaining order reprimanded Zhong Jiaheng angrily.
“Stand at attention, what are you standing for! Lin Qilang is my cousin’s husband, haha, he’s my cousin’s husband…”
Zhong Jiaheng started laughing maniacally, as if driven mad.
As soon as he said this, many people looked at Zhong Jiaheng as if he were an idiot.
A few hot-blooded young men couldn’t help but want to beat Zhong Jiaheng.
To be disrespectful to Lin Qilang, even if the King of Heaven came, they would have to give him a few punches!
This was disrespect to their idol!
“Whose soldier is this? If he’s not mentally sound, don’t send him to compete. Get him out of here immediately, cancel his qualification. Such a person is not worthy of appearing in Dragon Fang!”
A few officers couldn’t stand it anymore. This soldier was too disgraceful and too presumptuous!
Lin Feng naturally noticed Zhong Jiaheng’s excessive reaction but paid no mind, continuing his speech as usual.
Meanwhile, Xue Jingmei and Zhong Kaishan were at Xia Xue’s house, waiting for the results of the first round of selection.
“Sister, brother-in-law, you don’t need to be so nervous. Jiaheng will definitely pass.”
“Yes, weren’t you quite confident? Why are you still nervous?”
Xue Jingru and Xia Weiguo said with a smile.
“We’re not nervous. We’re just wondering if Jiaheng will be the first one to pass.”
“Since childhood, this child has been a source of pride. No matter what competition it is, he always strives for first place.”
Xue Jingmei said proudly with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
“Sister, Jiaheng is back! You were right, he was indeed the first to pass. This is too fast!”
Xue Jingru reported excitedly through the peephole, seeing Zhong Jiaheng being supported by a few soldiers.
“See, my son is so accomplished! Hurry and welcome my son back, and throw a celebration banquet!”
Xue Jingmei said, rushing to greet him.
