70: Chapter 7 Being rubbed into the ground

Her gaze also became sharp, because Ye Qingqing realized that Golden Peace likely felt she had damaged his pride.

According to Golden Peace's expectations, Ye Qingqing should have normally lost to him in the very first move.

But Ye Qingqing hadn't, which caused Golden Peace's mood to shift abruptly, making his strikes sharper with each passing move.

A cold hum rose in Ye Qingqing's heart; she had just finished her Physical Strength test, and her entire arm felt as if it had lost all power.

On top of that, she had to fight Golden Peace.

Ye Qingqing knew that if she continued to fight, she would definitely be defeated at Golden Peace's hands.

Furthermore, it would be disadvantageous for her.

Today, Ye Qingqing had already exposed too much of her strength.

Exposing more would be to her detriment; after all, she had just boarded the ship and didn't yet fully understand the internal situation of the Volunteers.

One only needs to reveal a small amount of strength before others; too much is as bad as too little.

Ye Qingqing pondered for a moment in her mind just as Golden Peace's fist was about to land on her face again.

Ye Qingqing's figure suddenly leaped a large step backward.

A flash of surprise crossed Golden Peace's face, and his reaction was also extremely fast as he chased closely after Ye Qingqing.

At that moment, Ye Qingqing quickly raised both hands.

Golden Peace had originally thought Ye Qingqing was going to launch an attack on him.

But he hadn't expected Ye Qingqing to raise both hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Captain Li, I admit defeat. You are too powerful, Captain Li; my strength is simply not up to par."

"I'm afraid of being beaten by Captain Li until even my mother wouldn't recognize me, so I'm being sensible and surrendering first. Captain Li won't blame me, right?"

Golden Peace looked at Ye Qingqing; she wasn't even breathing that hard, looking quite composed.

He naturally knew that Ye Qingqing was not yet completely exhausted.

However, since Ye Qingqing had already surrendered, as a captain, Golden Peace naturally couldn't say much more.

When he looked at Ye Qingqing, there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

His attitude shifted quickly from his original appreciation of her talent to a touch of anger.

Golden Peace's attitude changed extremely fast.

"That's it for today. The rest of you, go train as you should. Ye Qingqing, you go back and rest for today."

Seeing this, Ye Qingqing didn't say anything more, naturally realizing that Golden Peace was not a broad-minded man.

She gave a sheepish smile: "Alright, Captain Li. Having witnessed your skills today, I naturally know the gap in my strength. Thank you for giving me the day off, Captain Li."

Golden Peace let out a cold snort, then turned and walked away.

After Ye Qingqing walked out of the Training Ground, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then she loosened up her muscles and bones.

Although Ye Qingqing hadn't suffered much in the match with Golden Peace just now, Golden Peace was a man after all, and his strikes were extremely fierce.

When Ye Qingqing was trading moves with Golden Peace, some bumps and bruises were inevitable.

So now that she had relaxed, Ye Qingqing felt like she hurt everywhere.

After twisting her neck, she couldn't help but grimace in pain.

At this moment, Huo Sixian, who was hiding to the side silently peeping, gritted his teeth.

Once Ye Qingqing had walked far away, Huo Sixian, with a dark face, took a long stride and walked toward the Training Ground.

Everyone in the field knew Huo Sixian.

Seeing Huo Sixian walking toward him, Golden Peace immediately stopped what he was doing.

With a fawning smile on his face, he said, "Captain Huo, what brings you here today?"

Huo Sixian didn't even look at Golden Peace. Instead, he stood before everyone and said in a deep voice, "Everyone has been training hard lately. I just came by to take a look and, while I'm at it, test the recent training results."

Upon hearing this, an ominous look appeared on Golden Peace's face.

In the next second, Huo Sixian continued speaking.

"You then. I saw just now that Captain Li's skills have been quite good lately. Let's trade a few moves."

Golden Peace's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He truly couldn't figure out what Huo Sixian was up to today.

But before Golden Peace could even react, Huo Sixian threw a punch that landed directly on Golden Peace's face.

That punch was thrown with incredible speed and ruthlessness, and Huo Sixian had used his full strength.

It sent Golden Peace flying several meters backward.

Golden Peace lost his balance, and as he stumbled back several steps, his feet tripped, and he fell flat on his face.

Nosebleed instantly flowed from his nostrils.

Huo Sixian looked coldly at Golden Peace, his voice tinged with impatience: "It seems Captain Li has been slacking off in training lately. Your reaction speed has slowed; you can't even take a single punch."

Among the surrounding crowd, not a single person dared to look toward Golden Peace and Huo Sixian.

Golden Peace, who had been acting all high and mighty just minutes ago, saw his arrogance vanish instantly.

However, the anger in Huo Sixian's heart had not subsided. His expression was very serious: "Again."

Golden Peace's heart tightened. He wondered how he could have possibly offended this Yama, Huo Sixian, for him to be picking on him today.

Golden Peace wiped his nosebleed and scrambled up from the ground.

As soon as he stood firm, Huo Sixian's attack arrived.

He showed Golden Peace absolutely no mercy.

Golden Peace was naturally no match for Huo Sixian. For half an hour straight, he was used as a punching bag and rubbed into the ground by Huo Sixian.

Lu Huan and Kong Ziyi, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, glanced at each other, both seeing sympathy in the other's eyes.

This Golden Peace really had no situational awareness. Of all the people to provoke, he just had to provoke this Yama, Huo Sixian, at a time like this.

By now, Golden Peace's face was black and blue. He wanted to cry out for mercy, but every time he tried, Huo Sixian's fist would slam into him again.

Directly drowning out Golden Peace's voice.

Every punch Huo Sixian landed was perfectly placed; he didn't hit any of Golden Peace's vital organs.

However, every one of Huo Sixian's punches struck Golden Peace's pressure points.

It left Golden Peace in excruciating pain, yet on the surface, he didn't appear to have any unusual injuries.

Of course, that was if one ignored the bruising around Golden Peace's eyes and the freely flowing nosebleed.

The people on the side would truly have thought Golden Peace and Huo Sixian were just having a friendly sparring match.

When Golden Peace was on the verge of collapsing, Huo Sixian finally stopped.

At this moment, Golden Peace felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted. He slumped to the ground, gasping for air in large gulps.

And yet, Huo Sixian had to say mockingly: "Captain Li, you still need to work on your reaction speed. You were passively taking hits the whole time, giving me no reaction at all."

"How about this: take a break, then go run 5 laps. It'll be good for training your Physical Strength."

Ever since Golden Peace became a captain and took charge of training the Volunteers, he had never run laps again.

But now, he was being ordered by Huo Sixian to run laps.

Golden Peace's heart was undoubtedly in a state of total collapse.

He even began to reflect on himself, wondering if he had done something wrong to offend Huo Sixian.
