58: Chapter 58: Everyone was stunned! So we were just keeping the prince company in the newbie village?

In the jungle, Qin Feng and Instructor Ma Zhe were already locked in a wrestling match.

The more they fought, the more alarmed Instructor Ma Zhe became.

Qin Feng's physical strength had clearly reached its limit, and he was injured, yet his willpower was like steel, unbreakable.

What was even more terrifying was his combat instinct!

It was as if he could predict every one of his movements.

He could always neutralize his attacks with minimal cost, then counterattack from the most devious angles.

What puzzled Instructor Ma Zhe the most was: Qin Feng was just a university freshman who had only undergone military training for a little over a month; where did he get this kind of combat instinct?

This was complete nonsense!

With just a momentary distraction, Instructor Ma Zhe suffered a major setback.

"Ugh!"

During a roll, Qin Feng seized the opportunity and stabbed his dagger hard into Instructor Ma Zhe's thigh!

Although it was only a training dagger, being jabbed by it still made Instructor Ma Zhe let out a pained grunt.

He had lost.

In close-quarters combat, he had actually lost to a university student.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Instructor Ma Zhe's eyes.

He abandoned his defense and, using all his strength, headbutted toward the other's head!

However, in that instant, Qin Feng released the dagger, leaned his body backward, and dodged it smoothly.

Immediately afterward, he rose with the momentum and, using a movement completely incomprehensible to humans, picked up the Type 92 pistol from the ground.

The muzzle was steadily aimed at Instructor Ma Zhe's head.

The whole world finally went quiet.

Qin Feng looked down at the sniper on the ground, his chest heaving violently, his voice cold.

"Instructor Ma, actually, I recognized you a long time ago."

The rain had finally stopped.

The last drop of rain slid off a leaf and landed on Instructor Ma Zhe's face, cold.

But no matter how cold, it couldn't compare to the shock in his heart at this moment.

He had lost!

He hadn't expected to lose!

Instructor Ma Zhe smiled helplessly, lying in the muddy water, looking up at Qin Feng.

The hollow muzzle seemed to signify that all of this had actually been destined long ago.

At this moment.

Qin Feng's chest was heaving violently, and his whole body was trembling slightly; that was the reaction of physical exhaustion pushed to the limit.

His body was covered in wounds and mud, looking as disheveled as if he had just crawled out of hell.

But his eyes were shockingly bright.

"Instructor, now, shouldn't the rules of the game be set by me?"

His hoarse voice echoed in the silent forest, like a heavy hammer, slamming hard onto Instructor Ma Zhe's heart.

Instructor Ma Zhe looked at him, his mind replaying the thrilling battle that had just taken place.

The prediction of the sniper point, the setting of traps, anti-tracking techniques, and the instinctual Killing Techniques in close-quarters combat...

All of this overturned his twenty-plus years of cognition.

This freshman was simply terrifyingly strong!

Even the top students in the military academy, or the one-in-a-hundred Soldier King in the Special Forces,

would never be able to perform so perfectly when facing this kind of combat-oriented confrontation for the first time!

This kid didn't seem like he was fighting at all.

He was like a venomous snake born for the jungle; this mountain forest was his kingdom.

The laughable thing was that Instructor Ma Zhe, who thought himself the hunter, had actually been someone else's prey from the very beginning.

He had lost.

He lost and was completely convinced.

Looking into Qin Feng's cold eyes, Instructor Ma Zhe's resentment quietly dissipated without him even realizing it.

Replacing it was a sense of exhilaration from meeting a worthy opponent, and a heartfelt, absolute awe for the strong.

He, a veteran, had felt a long-lost fear from a military training freshman.

Suddenly, Instructor Ma Zhe laughed.

First, it was a low, muffled chuckle, then it turned into a hearty, uninhibited laugh.

"Hahaha... Hahahaha!"

The laughter echoed in the forest, filled with complex emotions.

There was self-mockery, relief, and even more, undisguised admiration.

He slowly raised his hands, making a gesture of surrender.

"I have lost."

He looked at Qin Feng and took a deep breath.

"You kid are the most monstrous university student I have ever seen."

"A monster! Simply too monstrous!"

...

In the medical tent, when Instructor Ma Zhe raised his hands and said the words "I have lost."

The whole world seemed to have been pressed with a mute button.

Everyone's breathing stopped at this moment.

The mocking expressions on Wei Kai and Shi Lei's faces vanished instantly.

At the same time.

Those freshmen who were still waiting to see Qin Feng make a fool of himself had mouths wide enough to fit their own fists, their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

"Won... he won?"

That was Instructor Ma!

Qin Feng, he actually... really defeated the instructor?

Defeated a professional soldier who had truly been on the battlefield and won a second-class merit?

Boom!

The silence was broken, and the entire tent instantly erupted into chaos.

"Oh my god! What did I just see? Am I seeing things?"

"Qin Feng... he took down Instructor Ma?"

"This... is this real? This isn't scientific! This isn't fantasy!"

"Now, I finally understand; so we were just accompanying the Crown Prince in the Beginner's Village!"

...

Everyone was completely stunned, and the sound of discussion instantly exploded.

They looked at the upright Qin Feng on the screen and then compared him to themselves.

It felt like what separated the two wasn't just a screen, but a chasm!

They remembered back then.

He was still feeling smug about passing a five-kilometer cross-country run.

Still feeling proud of an excellent marksmanship score.

Still feeling proud of being able to complete the tasks assigned by the instructors.

But what about Qin Feng?

He was already able to pin the instructor to the ground and rub him into the dirt!

This was simply not an existence in the same dimension!

They were players, while Qin Feng was the GM!

"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"

Wei Kai muttered to himself, looking dazed.

This was simply even more unbearable than him personally losing to Qin Feng ten thousand times.

"The instructor went easy on him! The instructor must be acting! Playing along with him!"

Shi Lei also screamed along, like a gambler who had lost all his chips.

However, their voices seemed so insignificant amidst the discussions of their classmates.

Anyone with eyes, as long as they weren't stupid, could see that Instructor Ma had been playing for real from the moment he drew his gun.

And Qin Feng had completed this incredible, heaven-defying counter-kill while in a true desperate situation!

All the honor, all the halo, all the focus,

at this moment, were all gathered on Qin Feng alone.

As for Wei Kai and Shi Lei, they were completely ignored!

Why?

Why is it always Qin Feng?

Why does he get everyone's praise?

Even the Beijing University campus belle, Li Qingxue, favors him—why!

While he himself could only act like a clown, raging in impotence here?

A pitch-black wave of jealousy and resentment, like a venomous snake, instantly devoured all their reason.

Their hearts, at this moment, completely blackened.

"Qin Feng... all of this is mine, mine!"

Wei Kai clenched his fists tightly, and even his eyes began to turn incomparably sinister.

"One day, I will make you lose everything!"
