Chapter 71 Provoking Trouble in Front of the Tent
The next morning, while the others, still excited, tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, only Chu Qiuchi slept soundly. Thinking about it, it was understandable; she had been busy researching the formula for several days without proper rest, pushing her body and mind to their limits. This rare opportunity to rest naturally made her want to catch up on sleep. However, her sleeping posture was truly comical; she was sprawled out on the covers, one leg even dangling over Chu Yichen's bed. Luckily, there were guardrails between the beds, otherwise Chu Yichen would have worried she would roll onto his bed.
After getting up, the others looked at Chu Qiuchi's indescribable sleeping posture with amusement. Who knew Chu Qiuchi was like this? If this were modern times and they had cell phones, Chu Yichen would definitely have taken the opportunity to snap a picture of this rare "spectacle," a "black photo" of her as a souvenir. In the end, they didn't wake Chu Qiuchi, and quietly left the tent to go to the mess hall to collect breakfast for the day, naturally bringing her a portion as well.
They arrived exceptionally early, just as the cooks in the mess hall were beginning to prepare breakfast. Seeing this, they wandered around the area for a while, and when they returned to the mess hall, breakfast was just ready; they were lucky enough to be among the first to arrive.
The cooks in the kitchen camp looked at their unfamiliar faces and asked with a smile, "Are you students who have just arrived here for training?"
As Chu Yichen picked up his breakfast, he said, "Master, you have a good eye! We really did just arrive yesterday. How did you know?"
"Only newly arrived students are excited to come this early in the morning. After a while, they won't have the energy to get up this early anymore. Haha, the training in our war zone is no joke, and there are also occasional beast tides. You'll find out soon enough!"
After packing up breakfast and returning to the tent, Chu Qiuchi was still fast asleep. Chu Yichen went over and gently shook her to wake her up so they could have breakfast together.
Breakfast in the military camp was unusually simple, consisting only of meat porridge, eggs, and steamed buns. After the quick meal, Chu Yichen and Puyang Minghui revealed to Chu Qiuchi the devastating news that everyone had been watching her sleeping posture, eliciting a painful groan from Chu Qiuchi. It was all over; her image was ruined.
After a brief tidying up, the group, looking refreshed, arrived outside Ji Mohan's tent, awaiting their mission assignments for the day. Soon, several teams gathered outside Ji Mohan's tent. As newcomers, Chu Qiuchi and his group naturally attracted the attention of the other teams, drawing many curious glances. Chu Qiuchi and his companions remained calm and composed, allowing them to observe them.
Finally, someone in the next group couldn't help but speak up, his tone laced with contempt and provocation: "Hey, kid, you guys are new here, right? You've only just arrived and you dare to come to the front line? A bit arrogant! This is a war zone, not the place where you used to play house in the academy."
Chu Yichen calmly countered, "We are indeed newcomers, but since General Ji Mo has placed us on the front lines, it means we have the capability, doesn't it? Moreover, we have been diligently cultivating at the academy, unlike some people who may just be playing house there."
Those around Chu Yichen couldn't help but chuckle at his reply. Seeing that Chu Yichen wasn't intimidated and even mocked him, the man felt a little embarrassed: "You newcomers from the academy are all scared like cowards on the battlefield. And you have three girls in your team who, instead of staying on the second line for training, have come to our front line. When they get to the battlefield, won't they be crying and begging us to save them?" As he spoke, he looked Chu Qiuchi, Puyang Minghui, and Nalan Xingyao up and down, seemingly assessing whether their looks and figures were worthy of his help.
Feeling the malicious gaze, Chu Qiuchi frowned and warned coldly, "If you look at us like that again, I'll make sure your eyeballs are repositioned!"
Upon hearing Chu Qiuchi's words, the man not only didn't back down, but instead chuckled, "Oh, quite the little firecracker! Not bad looking, and a good figure too, just a bit small. Call me 'brother,' and maybe I'll take care of you on the battlefield!" The person next to him, hearing his words, reached out and tugged at him, signaling him to be quiet.
However, the man remained defiant and continued to provoke, saying, "How about it? Oh, why don't you just come join my team!"
Chu Qiuchi wasn't going to put up with him. He walked up to him, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him towards the fighting arena without any effort. "Fighting arena, let's fight. Let me see if your strength is as foul as your mouth."
"Let go of me, or I'll make you regret it!" The man struggled for a long time, but he couldn't break free from Chu Qiuchi's grip. Seeing this, the others rushed forward to try to stop him, and Chu Yichen and his group also quickly came to support Chu Qiuchi, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides.
"Sorry, Cui Shaoming was just joking. We don't need to go up to the battle stage! We're about to set off."
Chu Qiuchi sneered, "This kind of trash won't waste much time. Besides, I hate it when people play jokes like this on me." With that, she continued dragging the man toward the dueling platform.
Puyang Minghui then said to those who still tried to stop him, "If you continue to obstruct me, then come up to the battle stage together!"
Seeing the newcomers' tough stance, the others stopped trying to stop them; it seemed a battle was inevitable. These newcomers are a bit arrogant. They've achieved some success in school, but they're still so cocky in the war zone. They deserve a lesson.
"Captain, aren't you going to do anything about it?" a team member asked with some concern.
Su Jing waved his hand casually and sneered, "Never mind him. Cui Shaoming needs to be taught a lesson for his foul mouth. These kids seem to be quite something. He's really messed up this time! Let's go, let's go to the arena and see what's going on."
Seeing this, the others followed suit. Chu Qiuchi dragged Cui Shaoming onto the fighting platform, tossed him aside, and waved to him provocatively.
Enraged, Cui Shaoming roared, "You brat, you're asking for death!" He then charged at Chu Qiuchi, brandishing his fist.
Chu Qiuchi easily dodged, then swept his leg to the ground. Seeing him quickly get up, she followed with a side kick, then a front kick, and finally a spinning kick that sent him flying again.
Seeing Cui Shaoming shakily get up and take out his staff, Chu Qiuchi flashed forward and rushed in front of him, punching him in the eye. Then, he grabbed Cui Shaoming's collar, pulled him close, and delivered a powerful knee strike to his vital area.
With a piercing scream, Cui Shaoming's staff flew out of his hand and landed on the battle platform, while he himself was writhing in pain, rolling back and forth on the platform.
Just as Chu Qiuchi was about to deliver two more kicks, Cui Shaoming's captain involuntarily swallowed and said, "Little girl, I apologize on his behalf. If this continues, he might be crippled!" The other team members watching from below the stage were also shocked by Chu Qiuchi's ruthless methods and subconsciously closed their legs tightly.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi paused slightly, his gaze sharpening as he looked down at the audience. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Can you represent him and make decisions?"
"I am his captain. Hello, my name is Su Jing. My teammate was verbally offensive, so it is right for you to teach him a lesson. If you have any other requests, please feel free to make them, and we will do our best to meet them. Let's call it a day."
Chu Qiuchi raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're his captain? So your team does have a sense of reason after all. Then he really is a rotten apple. Alright, for your sake, I'll let it slide this time. But if he dares to act recklessly in front of me and my teammates again, I'll make him understand the consequences."
Chu Qiuchi ignored Cui Shaoming lying on the fighting platform and walked straight off the stage, returning to Ji Mohan's tent with Puyang Minghui and the others. Behind her, the whispers of the others rose and fell.
"This girl is too ruthless!"
"Cui Shaoming really messed up this time. It hurt just watching him do it!"
"Her skills are far superior to Cui Shaoming's; she seems to be someone special!"
"This batch of newcomers is truly not to be underestimated!"
"I wonder if the other girls in their team are as good as her?"
"That's a bit scary! No wonder they dared to venture into the front lines; their strength is no less than ours!"
