Chapter 2 The Death of Zhang Yong
"I'm the only survivor of Yunfei's squad! They were my comrades too!"
At the military merit office of the Chaos Martial Arts Academy, Zhang Yong roared hysterically at the martial artists beside him.
The martial artist in charge shook his head helplessly and said, "The Yunfei Squad has already been awarded a first-class merit, a bonus of ten million Blue Star Coins for the entire team, five Blood Qi Source Energy Supplements, and preferential treatment for their children's education..."
"You need to understand that the Yunfei Squad was formed temporarily. Only the captain, 'Lu Yun,' is a registered martial artist. You are all just temporarily recruited students..."
"You've already taken enough."
Zhang Yong's face flushed with anger, and he rolled up his sleeves to question the man.
"What's the use of all this stuff? Will my brothers come back?! They're my classmates and teachers!"
"I'm going to fight those sons of bitches!"
As he was about to turn and leave, he was stopped by two martial artists.
"You are still injured, so please calm down and avoid getting emotional."
"Five Blood Energy Supplements are enough to help you break through to the Advanced Warrior level. Only by becoming stronger and killing more monsters can you avenge your fallen brothers!"
These two martial artists had seen far too many martial artists go mad like this.
The entire squad was wiped out; to be the sole survivor must have been incredibly painful.
"Think about your family, your parents."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yong immediately knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
"My teammates all come from families of martial artists for generations... Waaah... Their families are almost wiped out."
"They finally got into Jiangnan Martial Arts University, but none of them graduated..."
"And there's Captain Lu Yun, who single-handedly drew the monsters' encirclement to save me, waah!"
His hands pounded the ground so hard they were bloody and mangled.
Several military officers in charge of military merits also took a deep breath, tears welling up in their eyes.
There are too many to count; such scenes are countless in this era.
Zhang Yong almost cried himself unconscious. He didn't wake up from his hospital bed until late at night, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
He's waited so long, and the right opportunity has finally arrived!
"This is the beginning of my changing my fate..."
By chance, he overheard somewhere that if a martial arts squad suffers more than half of its casualties, there will be additional compensation!
The higher-ups might even grant breathing techniques as compensation based on military merits...
A month ago, after hearing about the relocation mission to Jiangnan Base City, he hatched a plan. He persuaded his roommate, Chu Wen, to join Teacher Lu Yun's temporary team...
He grew up without a father, with only a weak mother at home, and thus suffered bullying from others from a young age.
Only that fool and Chu Wen were people he met after entering "Jiangnan Martial Arts University," and they didn't know his true situation.
"Chu Wen, Chu Wen, you were truly my good friend. Your death made me who I am; it was all worth it."
"Don't blame me. In this era, I only believe in myself."
It's a pity that obedient Chen Dai rushed to save Chu Wen. In what way is he inferior to Chu Wen?
"A fool is a fool."
He was a little annoyed at losing the henchman he had ordered, but fortunately he had received the 5 Blood Energy Supplements.
He looked at the neatly arranged rewards beside his hospital bed and eagerly opened the medicine box.
Blood and Qi Source Energy Supplement can accelerate a martial artist's own evolution!
It would normally take years of hard work for cells to undergo a qualitative change through mutation, but blood and qi supplements make up for this shortcoming!
Just one tube is all it takes for rapid growth!
suddenly--
Bang~!
The door to the ward was kicked open.
Zhang Yong stared intently at the newcomer as if he had seen a ghost!
Chu Wen?
He wondered if he was dreaming, but the murderous look in the other person's eyes sent a chill down his spine.
"Are you human or a ghost?!"
Zhang Yong's breathing became rapid, and he retreated to the wall.
A surge of powerful force erupted from the opponent's fist, its terrifying power threatening to shatter his chest.
Is this Chu Wen? How did he become so strong?!
"Stop! Killing him now is pointless."
One hand grabbed that strong arm, perfectly deflecting the force into the air beside it.
Boom! ~!
Amidst the howling wind, Zhang Yong was so frightened that he fell to the ground, recognizing the figure that had protected him.
Liu Shouren was the former deputy director of the Chaos Martial Arts Academy in Jiangnan Base City.
"Deputy Curator Liu, Chu Wen wants to kill me!"
Liu Shouren glared at him and said, "Chu Wen, what did I just tell you? Did you really think you could kill someone in front of me? If you kill him, you'll go to jail too!"
Chu Wen remained silent, pointing a finger at a prisoner.
A subtle spark spread from the palm of his hand—
Burn your hand to make a knife!
Liu Shouren had to protect Zhang Yong, but his space to move was limited, and he was forced to the side by the force of the impact.
"A novice warrior? Burning hands to form a blade? This is the perfected state of the 'Burning Blade Technique'?!"
Liu Shouren's eyes were filled with shock.
He had just learned the basic situation from Chu Wen and hadn’t even noticed that the other party had broken through to become a primary warrior.
Did the "Burning Blade Technique" even reach its perfect state?
The ultimate state of the "Burning Blade Technique"! Burning the hand to become the blade!
The burning hand used as a knife is too distinctive; everyone recognizes it.
Even high-ranking generals may not be able to achieve perfection! Although this method is a basic combat technique, any combat technique that reaches perfection can have its power multiplied, so it should not be underestimated!
The conflict broke out at the Martial Arts Hospital, where a large number of novice warriors appeared instantly.
There are many martial artists healing their wounds here.
"Deputy Director Liu, I've already made myself very clear to you, I'm going to kill him."
"If you try to stop me, you might get hurt too."
Chu Wen turned his back, lifted his shirt to reveal the menacing knife wound on his back: "The person next to you is very good at stabbing you in the back."
Although Liu Shouren possessed the strength of a junior general, he had been injured and retired for many years, and his vital energy had long been depleted. Facing a junior warrior whose "Burning Blade Technique" had reached the perfect level, he was still somewhat unsure of his chances.
After all, he had already learned about the situation, and even had some video recordings in the quantum computer as evidence, which was irrefutable.
During the standoff, Zhang Yong suddenly realized something, regained his composure, and angrily cursed.
"You're spouting nonsense!"
"This knife wound was clearly an accidental injury we sustained while fighting the demonic beast. You said it was nothing then, and now you want an explanation?!"
"You just got back, and when you heard that Yunfei's team obtained five Blood Energy Potions, you wanted to find an excuse to kill me so you could keep them all for yourself!"
"What proof do you have that I injured you?!"
"Deputy Director Liu, you can't just believe his one-sided story!"
Five doses of blood and energy supplements?!
The martial artists who rushed over were all taken aback.
One supplement can transform an ordinary martial artist, let alone five! No wonder the two of them are fighting over it so fiercely.
"Gentlemen, although I don't know what the grudge is, it would be against the rules to take action in a hospital."
"Report it to the martial arts school. They'll definitely investigate. There must be a record in their computer." A martial artist beside him also advised, "You two are still young, and your future prospects are much brighter than ours, old guys. Don't be foolish for a moment."
Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yong screamed, "I'm afraid! This guy has already deleted the contents of the personal computer!"
He's always meticulous in his work; he destroyed Chu Wen's personal computer back then, leaving no room for deletion.
Chu Wen sneered, "Zhang Yong, you really won't give up until you're completely cornered."
With a flick of his right hand, the image of the quantum computer, repaired by the [Hunyuan Pearl], appeared before everyone's eyes.
In the video, Chu Wen stands on the corpse of a demonic beast, gazing into the distance.
Suddenly, Zhang Yong's face appeared on the screen, followed by a bloodstained battle blade that was slowly sheathed.
"If you die, I'll take the credit for this, hehehe."
Everyone was stunned.
Liu Shouren's gaze darkened further: if this matter were to be publicized, his position as deputy curator would likely be affected.
He had tried to reason with Chu Wen, but the guy insisted on choosing the worst possible solution!
All the martial artists around gasped in shock.
Who would believe that their most trusted teammate would stab them in the back after the battle—just for military merit?
In this way, the entire trust system of the martial arts school is prone to collapse!
This matter absolutely must be dealt with seriously!
"I'll ask you again, where is Teacher Lu Yun?"
Zhang Yong was now drenched in cold sweat: "He...he was eaten by a monster..."
Boom!
Blood surged, and his hand burned like a blade!
Liu Shouren did not block at this moment.
He knew that if he continued to block them, he would likely incur public wrath.
The sound of bones breaking rang out, mixed with inaudible pleas for mercy.
Beneath a white wall stained crimson, every martial artist saw a pair of cold eyes, filled with anger and killing intent, before departing amidst everyone's gaze.
Only a mangled corpse and five vials of blood energy supplements remained.
