In this eerily quiet environment.
No one spoke anymore.
Only the hum of the car engine.
And the tire noise of the tires rubbing against the road surface.
Zhao Ruyue couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of her time with Zhou Yu.
In the beginning, Zhao Ruyue chased after Zhou Yu simply out of defiance.
Defiance that Zhou Yu, after registering his marriage with Su Yuyan, would break off their engagement with her.
So she tried every means to attract Zhou Yu's attention.
Even to the point of declaring they should compete fairly!
But later on, Zhao Ruyue gradually discovered Zhou Yu's shining qualities.
And found it increasingly difficult to leave him!
And this time.
Zhao Ruyue's heart even had a thought.
Perhaps she was not good enough for Zhou Yu?
This thought startled Zhao Ruyue!
If outsiders knew Zhao Ruyue's thoughts, they would surely think she was crazy.
The dignified daughter of the Zhao family, and the best doctor at Yunhai City Fifth Hospital.
Would actually consider herself unworthy of someone with no power or influence, someone who goes to prison…
But Zhao Ruyue truly felt that way.
Was Zhou Yu really without power or influence?
If so, how could he bring members of the Dragon Group directly into Yunlan Villa to arrest someone?
Moreover, the Bian Que Divine Needles that Zhou Yu produced, and the "Striking Mountains with a Single Blow" that he trained Da Xiong in.
Which of these were not long-lost techniques?
These were not things that someone without power or influence could possess!
The more Zhao Ruyue thought, the more she felt Zhou Yu was unfathomable…
Amidst Zhao Ruyue's chaotic thoughts.
The car had already arrived at the new recruit training base.
Perhaps she was just too tired.
Zhou Yu, without greeting anyone, went straight back to the dormitory and crashed into sleep.
Zhao Ruyue gazed dotingly at Zhou Yu's retreating back for a while before leaving!
In the following days.
Because of her previous thoughts.
Zhao Ruyue actually stopped pestering Zhou Yu.
Even when they had contact in their work, Zhao Ruyue would deliberately distance herself from Zhou Yu.
This left Zhou Yu completely bewildered.
Did this little girl have some new trick up her sleeve?
However, with the martial arts competition imminent.
Zhou Yu didn't have time to ponder these things.
He had to speed up the systematic training for Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng!
These two had taken too many wrong turns in the past, and now all of that had to be corrected!
Da Xiong and the other two complained constantly.
Almost every time they returned to the dormitory, they could barely crawl.
A month passed quickly.
The martial arts competition arrived!
The primary purpose of this martial arts competition was naturally to eliminate unqualified new recruits.
After all, the Dragon Group was not a shelter, and even when recruiting reserve members, there were prerequisites.
Those who were weaker and lacked any special skills could only bid farewell tearfully.
By this time.
The family disciples who had been joking around earlier finally realized the gravity of the situation.
Unfortunately, time had passed too quickly.
A month of cramming would surely have some effect, it was impossible to say it had none.
But the effect was minimal!
"Oh my god, why was I so lazy before? If I get eliminated this time, I don't know what my family will say."
"Me too, I'm so nervous. My family spent a lot of resources to get me in. If I get eliminated, I'll be skinned alive when I go back!"
"No, I need to go to the restroom and throw up first, I'm too nervous."
In the new recruits' preparation room, many people showed signs of panic.
At this point, it was clear who had worked hard and who had slacked off during the Dragon Group new recruit training period.
Those who had truly worked hard were now at ease.
Because they knew they had done their best.
If they were still eliminated, it could only mean their foundation was insufficient!
As for the family disciples who had slacked off, their current thoughts were all about whether they would lose face or be reprimanded by their families.
Da Xiong and Zhou Yu sat together.
After a month of grueling training, the body fat percentage of both of them was extremely low.
Their bodies were covered in muscle!
Compared to the nervous-looking new recruits, their expressions were very calm.
Upon closer inspection, there even seemed to be a hint of relief?
"Finally, it's the martial arts competition. If Doctor Zhou had continued training me, I might have lost my life!" Da Xiong couldn't help but sigh.
From birth until now, Da Xiong had never undergone such rigorous training.
For a whole month, who knew how he had endured it!
Now, Da Xiong looked at the other new recruits and found them all pleasing to the eye.
After all, these new recruits wouldn't have Zhou Yu standing behind them with a bamboo stick, ready to administer "bamboo shoot stir-fry" for the slightest error in their moves.
"Phew, I wonder what our ranking will be this time. In any case, we must give it our all and not let Doctor Zhou down." Ouyang Feng took a deep breath.
Because they knew that if they let Zhou Yu down.
Their subsequent treatment would only be more brutal!
So they had to fight with all their might!
At this moment, Zhou Yu was sitting in the observation room.
Without warning, he sneezed.
"Why am I sneezing when it's not even cold yet? Could someone be badmouthing me?" Zhou Yu muttered to himself.
The observation group beside him was already in a heated discussion!
Zhou Yu was the instructor for Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng. The other members of the observation group were also instructors for other new recruits.
Only when there was a shortage of personnel would they call upon members from the Dragon Group.
Generally, members of the observation group would choose to train their own family disciples.
So they were bragging about whose disciples were more promising!
"Venerable Zhang, this time the championship is likely to go to Young Master Dong, right?"
"Haha, well said, well said. I wouldn't dare to hope for the championship, but passing should be barely achievable."
Venerable Zhang stroked his beard and spoke with feigned modesty.
In reality, he was so proud his chin was about to fly off!
Zhou Yu glanced at him indifferently and quickly looked away.
It was an eyesore!
Unbeknownst to him, this slight movement of Zhou Yu immediately caught Venerable Zhang's attention.
Venerable Zhang deliberately asked, "Young Master Yang has been taking first place in previous missions. With such a promising talent, under Doctor Zhou's guidance, he should be even more outstanding, right?"
"Congratulations in advance, Doctor Zhou. This time, the championship will undoubtedly go to Young Master Yang!"
Zhou Yu's mouth twitched, and a bead of sweat rolled down.
Venerable Zhang's words were not meant to flatter, but to set him up for a fall!
Everyone knew that previous missions were judged based on comprehensive abilities.
Martial prowess was placed very low on the list.
Therefore, whether Da Xiong would be eliminated this time was still uncertain.
But Venerable Zhang's words of championship were clearly meant to mock Zhou Yu!
What if Da Xiong only managed to pass, or was even eliminated?
Then these words would become a joke!
Normally, a sensible person would definitely not engage with Venerable Zhang's words.
To avoid becoming a laughingstock.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu was not a normal person.
He had confidence in his own abilities!
"I appreciate your kind words, Venerable Zhang. When Da Xiong wins the championship, I will definitely have him give you a red envelope."
Zhou Yu replied with a smile.
