Chapter 6: Dragon Squad Test

  After a hasty bath, the sky was already somewhat bright. Lei Yu lived in a high-rise building. Since it was still early, Lei Yu stood by the window and could vaguely see the vehicles coming and going on the streets below.

  "What was the scene of the two fierce beasts fighting between heaven and earth, and what was that yellow bead? Unconsciously, Lei Yu touched his forehead, thinking that there was a bead in his brain made him feel a bit uncomfortable."

  As he turned back, Lei Yu accidentally saw a tattered piece of clothing and remembered that there were still some unknown fruits wrapped inside the clothes that he had picked but not finished eating. He opened it and casually took a bite, and it was still full, juicy, sweet, and unparalleled, without any change in taste after being picked for several days.

  "Hmm, not bad at all. I should let Nuo Hu try some too." He ate another one, and the pure energy inside him stirred slightly. Lei Yu enjoyed this feeling, every time he finished eating the fruit he would sit quietly to absorb it, but this time he didn't do that. Instead, he put on his new backpack, packed a few more fruits, and walked out of the house.

  The place where Lei Yu lived was not far away, but he didn't take any transportation and chose to run instead. This kind of exercise wouldn't be much help in improving himself, but it would still have some effect.

  "Little Feather!"

  Lei Yu, who was running, turned his head and saw Nuo Hu driving towards him.

  "Take this." Nu Hu pulled out a brand new mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Lei Yu, "It's convenient for us to contact each other. And there's something exciting I want to tell you."

  "What's so exciting?" Lei Yu asked.

  "Do you still remember Aier?"

  "Ai'er? Didn't she go abroad?" Lei Yu remembered Nuo Hu's sister, Nuo Ai'er. This little girl had always liked to play with these two brothers since childhood, and was clever and lovely, which made Lei Yu like her very much.

  "Yes, but she's going back home soon and is currently handling the procedures."

  "That's great!" The phone had just been handed to Lei Yu when it started ringing, and he looked at Nu Hu's smiling expression indicating for him to answer the call.

  "Hello?"

  "Little Brother Xiaoyu!"

  "Ah?"

  "Wait for me, I'll be back soon, let me see if you've become more handsome! This is an international long-distance call, it's so expensive, hang up!"

  Before Lei Yu could respond, the other end had already hung up. Lei Yu helplessly shook his head. Having lived abroad for a few years, this little girl's thoughts were indeed quite open-minded, blurting out such a greeting.

  Put the phone in his pocket, Lei Yu mysteriously took out a purple-red fruit from his backpack and handed it to Nuo Hu. With a puzzled expression, he first tasted it with a small mouth, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, and put the fruit in his mouth with great force, chewing hard. Looking at Nuo Hu's tightly closed eyes enjoying the taste, Lei Yu also smiled slightly.

  "What fruit is this? How delicious!"

  Lei Yu spread out his hands, "I don't know, but for this whole year, I've been surviving on just eating this."

  Lei Yu Zheng said, "This is extreme!" Nu Hu's eyes widened in surprise, "What a rich aura! What...what's going on?" He gently rubbed his belly and asked in shock.

  "I don't know either, but it should be of some help in cultivation."

  Nuo Hu sat in the car, closing his eyes to feel the abundant energy inside him. Nuo Hu's smile grew brighter and brighter, just from eating one fruit he felt a tremendous change within himself, he couldn't even believe that Lei Yu, this monster, had eaten for an entire year, what kind of improvement would that bring?

  "I have some here, take them all." Lei Yu generously pulled out a few more from his backpack and placed them in Nu Hu's hand.

  "How about you?"

  "I ate too much, and this doesn't have a big effect on me either."

  Nuo Hu's eyes lit up as he took the fruit, and it was clear that his eyes were filled with gratitude towards Lei Yu. However, Lei Yu didn't mind, thinking that this was what brothers should do for each other.

  Nuo Hu, being from the ancient martial arts family of Wu Zong, naturally started training in martial arts from a young age and was taught the highest level of martial techniques passed down through generations. This, of course, made him vastly different from ordinary people. These spirit-filled fruits were like magical pills that could increase his power, so how could he not be excited?

  As Lu Hu arrived at the military region's strategic location.

  "How was your recovery from yesterday's expenditure?" asked Fan Hongchang.

  Recovered very well.

  Fan Hongchang nodded and said: "Are you willing to take another test today?"

  "What? Why?" Lei Yu thought there was a problem with yesterday's test and asked in a flurry.

  "Your abilities have already exceeded the standards of the Wild Wolf Squad. I and the leader as well as the vice-leader have discussed and decided to conduct a promotion test for you to advance to the Brave Lion Squad."

  The result was actually within the expectations of Lei Yu and Nuo Hu, so yesterday's test by Lei Yu did not show too much surprise, but for those new recruits, it was indeed somewhat unbelievable.

  Lei Yu naturally agreed, able to go up another level, indicating that the contacts were some more powerful people, which was of great help to his own improvement.

  This test, those endurance and strength are no longer the test items, but fighting, which is Lei Yu's weakness. In the Lei family, he was often beaten by others, but never fought back. When he left the Lei family for the last time, he only slightly moved his hand, but it wasn't a match at all. Until today, he has only had a life-and-death struggle with that unknown fierce beast, so Lei Yu's actual combat experience is insufficient.

  "How exactly do we fight?" Lei Yu asked.

  "In the Lion Squad, I will select the weakest soldier to fight against you. If you win, I'll give you a certain amount of rest time. You can choose to challenge higher-level soldiers or give up. Of course, you can also join the Lion Squad, but like this weakest soldier, you'll just be at the bottom." Fan Hongchang explained.

  Lei Yu nodded, "I understand, let's get started."

  As soon as it was said that someone who had just passed the entrance test for the Wild Wolf team yesterday would be taking part in the advanced test today, many new and old soldiers came to watch.

  "Isn't this guy too strong? He just passed the test to enter the Dragon Group yesterday and now he can already participate in the advanced test today!"

  "It's true! It's unbelievable!"

  Many new recruits stood outside the test field, discussing heatedly, while the old soldiers of the Lion Squad were brought to the central part of the test field, surrounded by a circle, forming an arena.

  "Fall in!"

  "Yes!"

  A robust soldier stood up and walked to the center, Fan Hongchang said: "Very simple, no hitting vital parts is allowed, no killing moves are allowed, knock down the opponent or admit defeat and the match ends, got it?"

  "I understand!" Lei Yu and the soldier shouted in unison.

  "Begin!" As soon as Fan Hongchang's voice fell, he quickly retreated to the edge, while Nuo Hu was embracing his arms and looking at Lei Yu in the arena with a nonchalant expression.

  These two days of contact, Nuohu knew that Leiyu had some strength. Even the soldiers of the Xiongshi team were not Leiyu's opponents, because they only surpassed the physical abilities of those wild wolf team soldiers and reached the peak of ordinary people, but still an ordinary person. The purpose of discussion between Leiyu and Nuohu was to directly enter the Long team, that mysterious rank, however, the process of advancing the test is still necessary.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, the soldier assumed a standard fighting stance and slowly approached Lei Yu, throwing punches. However, Lei Yu didn't make any effort to defend or counterattack because he simply couldn't feel the opponent's fists having enough power to harm him. He would occasionally raise his hand to block an attack aimed at his head, but as for his body, Lei Yu completely gave up defending and let the soldier hit him.

  Those Lion Squad members one by one revealed their astonished expressions, even if this soldier was the weakest in the team, no one dared to stand there and be beaten, if you say Lei Yu doesn't know how to defend himself and will only get hit, but his face didn't receive a single punch.

  Those new recruits outside the testing grounds are starting to get restless, this is truly unbelievable!

  "Wow! He's too strong!"

  "Yes, you see, he didn't even fight back!"

  "You know what? If he were to strike back, his opponent would definitely fall to the ground immediately!"

  "I think so too!"

  The commotion outside also made the soldier, who was exerting himself to punch, somewhat anxious. His fists became even more swift and fierce, rushing towards Lei Yu's head like raindrops, but no matter how hard he tried, this defensive line simply could not be breached.

  Lei Yu relied on his powerful defense and speed, after the Body Refining stage, Lei Yu was no longer someone that an ordinary person could harm, even if it were an ordinary person's limit.

  "Do you think it's necessary to continue fighting?" Lei Yu asked with a light pat of his palm on the fist that was attacking his face.

  As soon as the voice fell, the soldier stopped attacking and stood still, panting non-stop. In just three short minutes, he was already exhausted and gasping for breath, but Lei Yu chatted with him as if nothing had happened, was this something a human could really do?

  Not only the new recruits on the periphery, but also these soldiers of the Lion Squad sitting in a circle began to get nervous, whispering to each other.

  "Quiet!" Fan Hongchang walked to the center at this time, "The result is already very clear!"

  The soldier walked to the edge with his head down and sat down silently. He knew in his heart that if Lei Yu threw a punch, even just one punch, he might be lying in the medical room of the troops by now.

  "Lei Yu, you can choose to continue challenging stronger opponents, or give up the challenge, but still be able to smoothly enter the Lion Team."

  Wow!

  The whole scene was in an uproar, and it was only the second day. This young man who had just entered the Dragon Group could actually advance to the Lion Team, which all new recruits dreamed of entering. This was something that had never happened in the Dragon Group before. If one had to say there were any exceptions, they would be the descendants of ancient martial arts families. But it seemed that Lei Yu was only close to Nuo Hu, and didn't belong to any particular family.

  Lei Yu smiled and said: "I choose to continue challenging!" After a pause, he continued: "I choose to challenge the strongest warrior of the Lion Team!"

  "Good!" Fan Hongchang's eyes lit up with excitement, he hadn't seen such an excellent soldier in a long time. As for Lei Yu's identity, he had also heard rumors about it, but the fact that a discarded waste of his family could be so formidable was also shocking.

  The whole field was boiling again, daring to challenge the strongest person of the Lion team, which is undoubtedly the most powerful existence in the ordinary people. Such a thing has never happened in the Dragon Group before. The strongest must be the first candidate for the next promotion to the Dragon Team. His strength is convincing all the soldiers.

  "I accept the challenge!"

  A soldier with a sunny face stood up from one corner and walked to the center of the field. Lei Yu carefully sized up this soldier, although his physique didn't seem as strong as the previous one, but his aura had already surpassed him, this was the spirit that Dragon Squad soldiers must possess.

  Collect, fresh flowers, brothers, come on!
