Time passed quickly. Two days later, Li Se arrived at the military region. After these days, Xiao Pei, a member of Tian Long, had stabilized considerably. After removing all the silver needles, he had also used the Nine Needles of the Celestial Doctor for acupuncture. After a series of treatments, he finally managed to save Xiao Pei from the brink of death.
"Thank you, Instructor!" Xiao Pei said gratefully. Although he had been covered in silver needles for the past few days, his consciousness had already cleared. He also knew that the person treating him this time was the Chief Instructor of Tian Long.
Since Li Se defeated Lone Wolf and then saved Xiao Pei from the clutches of death, the entire Tian Long Special Forces unit had been convinced.
"Rest well for a while, and you will be fully recovered," Li Se said with a smile. After a brief reminder, he left the ward.
"Who is the new instructor of Tian Long?"
At this moment, an extremely arrogant voice rang out.
Li Se looked over and saw a group of men in camouflage uniforms approaching. As they appeared, some members of the Tian Long Special Forces moved closer. However, there were fewer members present, so only four or five of them came forward.
"Yo, isn't this Xiao Ye? Why have you come all the way from the capital?" Lone Wolf snorted.
"We heard that Tian Long has a new instructor, so we've come to seek guidance!" The speaker was not Xiao Ye, but one of the accompanying soldiers.
"You guys want to challenge our instructor?" Lone Wolf said contemptuously, then lowered his voice and said to Li Se, "Instructor, these are people from Cang Long. They are at odds with us. However, originally, Xiao Ye was supposed to be our new instructor, but he didn't get the position, so he's very unhappy and brought them here to provoke us."
"Oh?" Li Se looked at Xiao Ye. He was around thirty years old and bore some resemblance to Xiao Tian. Could this be someone from the Xiao family?
"Do you dare to fight?"
The men from Cang Long were all angered.
Xiao Ye waved his hand, and it quieted down considerably. He glanced at the people from Tian Long, his gaze finally falling on Li Se. "Don't tell me you are the new instructor of Tian Long?"
"That's right!" Li Se nodded slightly.
"I want to challenge you!" Xiao Ye said frankly.
"I don't accept your challenge," Li Se replied, shaking his head.
"Are you afraid?" Xiao Ye taunted.
"What a coward!"
"Calling yourself a new instructor, but you don't even dare to accept a challenge!"
"Everyone in Tian Long is a coward!"
The mocking voices continued.
Li Se frowned. It was clear that Xiao Ye was determined to fight him.
"Damn it, I'll do it! Who wants to fight?" Lone Wolf could no longer stand it. "If you want to challenge our instructor, you have to get past me first!"
"I will!" Someone from Cang Long also stepped forward, but was stopped by Xiao Ye.
"I will!" Xiao Ye stepped forward.
"Are you sure?" Lone Wolf's eyes turned cold. "If you lose to me, you'll be shaming the Xiao family."
"Heh heh, that depends on whether you have the ability!" Xiao Ye snorted. He stomped his foot, leaving an imprint on the ground, and his body shot forward like a cannonball. He threw a punch with all his might, with no fancy moves, just the impact of power.
Seeing this, Lone Wolf's expression became serious. He did not dare to be negligent and met the punch with his own, blocking it. When their fists collided, there was a dull thud in the air, and then Lone Wolf stumbled back several steps. Xiao Ye pressed his advantage, throwing punch after punch, making it difficult for Lone Wolf to even defend himself.
Li Se was somewhat surprised. He had sparred with Lone Wolf before and knew his strength. He hadn't expected that in front of Xiao Ye, Lone Wolf would be forced into a purely defensive stance, and if this continued, Lone Wolf would undoubtedly lose.
"Lone Wolf, what's going on? Fight back!"
"Haha, I guess he can't fight back. Our Captain Xiao hasn't even used his full strength yet."
"..."
The members of Cang Long began to mock them with cold sarcasm.
Xiao Ye was the captain of Cang Long, and Lone Wolf was the captain of Tian Long. If Lone Wolf was defeated, Cang Long would likely mock them for a while.
"Damn it!" Lone Wolf was furious. He knew that he would lose if this continued. Gritting his teeth, he stopped dodging and took a direct punch from Xiao Ye, almost spitting blood. His body was forced back several steps, but this gave him an opportunity to counterattack. He threw a hook with incredible speed, catching Xiao Ye off guard.
Because Xiao Ye hadn't expected Lone Wolf to take his punch head-on, although the punch was unexpected, a hint of disdain flashed across his lips. He raised his arm and blocked the punch. His body trembled slightly, but in the next moment, he swept out with a leg.
With a bang, Lone Wolf was kicked flying by this leg, crashing several meters away. However, he immediately got up, wanting to continue fighting.
"Stop!" Li Se called out to Lone Wolf. "You are not his opponent."
"Instructor, I..." Lone Wolf lowered his head, feeling ashamed.
"Are you going to fight?" Xiao Ye provocatively looked at Li Se. He had been the most likely candidate to become the new chief instructor of Tian Long, but he hadn't expected his grandfather to give this instructor position to an outsider. He was very resentful, so he had rushed over from the capital solely for a fight with Li Se.
Li Se knew that this fight was unavoidable, so he stepped forward and beckoned to Xiao Ye. "Come on!"
"Then be careful!" Xiao Ye threw a punch, aiming directly at Li Se's face.
Li Se shifted his feet, and his palms transformed into Tai Chi, easily deflecting the force of Xiao Ye's punch. He then struck out with a palm, hitting Xiao Ye directly in the ribs.
Xiao Ye stumbled back several steps before stabilizing himself. He looked at Li Se with disbelief. "I always thought Tai Chi was just for strengthening the body. I didn't expect it to be somewhat useful in actual combat. However, your attack lacks lethality. Relying on this won't defeat me!"
As he spoke, Xiao Ye attacked again. His attacks were extremely fierce. Whether he was punching or kicking, each move was like a surging dragon.
This surprised Li Se, but he soon understood what was happening. He once again used Tai Chi to neutralize Xiao Ye's attack, then circulated his true qi and struck Xiao Ye in the chest with a punch, sending him flying back more than ten meters.
"Cough cough..." Xiao Ye coughed violently.
"Captain..." The members of Cang Long's expressions changed.
"He's not that great either..." The members of Tian Long were extremely excited. Now it was their turn to mock.
"Xiao Ye, show me your true skills. If I'm not mistaken, you should be a practitioner of spear arts," Li Se said calmly.
Xiao Ye's expression changed slightly. He was surprised that Li Se could tell what he practiced. He then beckoned. "Spear!"
Soon, someone brought a long spear. When Xiao Ye held the spear, his entire demeanor changed, as if he had become a different person.
"Let me show you the spear of the Xiao family!"
Xiao Ye shouted, holding the spear and thrusting it through the air.
"An inch longer, an inch stronger. Spear techniques are nothing more than stabbing, thrusting, lashing, striking, coiling, circling, blocking, grasping, pouncing, pointing, parrying, and dancing flowers..."
Xiao Ye spoke as he demonstrated his spear skills, performing all the moves he mentioned. However, Li Se dodged them all.
Suddenly, Li Se quickly extended his hand and firmly grasped Xiao Ye's spear. He then threw a punch.
"What?" Xiao Ye's face contorted in shock. He tried to pull his spear back, but in the next moment, his body took the full force of the punch, and he was sent flying backward.
At this moment, the entire military region fell silent.
