99: Bricks? Something's not right!

On the training ground.

The entire field was silent.

Not a sound could be heard.

Everyone looked at Su Yun at the finish line as if they had seen a ghost.

Even his opponent, Liu Feng, the Southern Military Region's record holder for the obstacle course.

His eyes didn't blink, staring fixedly at the smiling young man!

This… is he even human!?

Liu Feng believed that his record-breaking run was his absolute limit.

Of course, he always gave his best in every training session and every competition.

But… when he realized he still had one last event to complete.

That strong sense of defeat, the huge gap between him and his opponent… — [Brother Su? Did he win?!]

— [Someone give me a slap! Am I dreaming?]

— [Did Brother Su Yun hide his true strength!?]

— [Holy crap… Brother Su Yun is like he suddenly found his main account!]

…Everyone in the audience was stunned.

Regiment Commander Hu's old face kept turning red and then white.

He never expected it.

Even Liu Feng couldn't win against a junk collector?

Is this… a proper junk collector?

How are people supposed to live… If word gets out… the Military Region's ace can't compare to a junk collector… So, everyone doesn't need to join the army anymore, they can just follow him and collect junk, right!?

Zheng Jianfeng was at a loss for words.

He didn't know what to say now: “Regiment Commander…”

“We lost again.”

“To be honest… I'm even tempted to have Su Yun join our Steel Regiment!”

His courage and ability were simply outstanding!

Regiment Commander Hu was silent.

“Old Zheng, go, weren't you a former Sanda and grappling coach?”

“Weren't you known as the ‘Evil Wolf’?”

“Go… show him some evil…”

Regiment Commander Hu simply refused to believe it.

Could it be that the entire Steel Regiment couldn't find anyone who could win?

Zheng Jianfeng nodded silently.

In the Military Region, running wasn't his strong suit, but when it came to fighting, he truly was!

On the spot, Regiment Commander Hu announced the winner.

“Su Yun! Victor!”

“Congratulations to Comrade Su Yun for breaking our Southern Military Region's best obstacle course record!”

“According to regulations! You will receive a corresponding reward…”

Fair is fair.

Regiment Commander Hu was a good sport and accepted his loss.

Normally, a soldier breaking a record would receive a commendation.

However, considering Su Yun's special circumstances, the reward would be converted into cash.

Fatty Wang Fan blinked and smiled, “Regiment Commander, how much is the cash reward?”

“Uh…”

Regiment Commander Hu held out one hand.

“Holy crap?! Five million!?”

Fatty Wang Fan feigned shock.

Regiment Commander Hu rolled his eyes, “Fifty thousand…”

— [Well, I'll be!]

— [It turns out there's no shortage of ways to make money in this world!]

— [He can earn fifty thousand just like that!?]

— [From now on, Brother Su Yun doesn't need to collect junk; he can just specialize in breaking Military Region records!]

…A Military Region record was broken by an outsider.

The key was that he didn't train often and was an amateur… This left the soldiers feeling a bit stifled.

Until.

Zheng Jianfeng found Su Yun and said, “Brother Su Yun! Let's spar!”

“Let's go! You can choose any cold weapon you want!”

Su Yun: “Are we really going to spar?”

To be honest.

He had just spent a mere two thousand yuan to buy a top-tier parkour skill.

Combined with his own physical fitness, he accidentally broke the Military Region record… It had to be said, the system's skill shop, you really have to buy what you can!

After confirming its authenticity and value.

Su Yun could now confirm how awesome his thirty-thousand-yuan Grandmaster-level fighting skill was!

However, Zheng Jianfeng was determined to spar: “To be frank.”

“I used to be a martial arts coach, having taught Sanda and boxing.”

“I also practiced a bit of Taekwondo… and accidentally reached black belt!”

“If I hadn't wanted to join the army, I might have already made a name for myself in the martial arts world…”

He wasn't bragging.

A quick online search would confirm it, it was traceable.

“Brother Su Yun, come…”

“Let me challenge you!”

Zheng Jianfeng was full of interest.

Su Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Honestly, after Zheng Jianfeng listed so many achievements.

He was a little worried if he defeated him, would it hurt his self-esteem?

But now, if he didn't spar, he would be breaking his word!

“Alright…”

Su Yun silently walked to the open space.

Looking at the complete array of cold weapons on the rack… there were so many types!

Zheng Jianfeng chose a military knife and dagger.

He said, “I'll choose this small dagger!”

“So no one can say I'm bullying you…”

“We'll have a friendly spar, stopping before anyone gets seriously hurt.”

“Okay…”

Su Yun nodded.

Since Big Brother Zheng Jianfeng had made up his mind, it would be a bit disrespectful if Su Yun didn't choose a suitable weapon.

In front of him… on the rack were Nepalese kukris, spears, broadswords… there were large ones, and small ones like tiger claws, grappling hooks… “Sigh… a bit dangerous.”

Moreover, Su Yun wasn't familiar with these weapons.

His peripheral vision swept around… Su Yun noticed a dark object not far away.

It looked similar to a brick!

“Hey! This thing is good!”

Su Yun didn't have time to see exactly what it was.

Anyway, it felt similar to a brick when he weighed it in his hand… “Big Brother Zheng, I'll use this.”

“This is a bit handier to use…”

A brick, you see.

It's a very mysterious weapon.

It gets stronger with a stronger opponent, its combat power is unknown… It can be used for a sneak attack to the head, or as a thrown weapon… — [Pfft… ]

— [Brother Su Yun is still so simple and unpretentious!]

— [I almost thought he would pull out his iron arm grabber!]

— [Su Yun: If I pull out the iron arm grabber, I'm afraid Big Brother Zheng will lose too quickly!]

— [From now on, bricks are honorably listed among cold weapons… ]

— [By the way, is that big dark thing a brick? It doesn't look like it!]

— [Who cares what it is, as long as it can fight!]

Zheng Jianfeng's lips twitched wildly: Using a brick as a weapon?

This was something he never expected.

Indeed, when it comes to being playful, it has to be Brother Su Yun… Zheng Jianfeng silently put down the military knife and picked up nunchaku… “Using a military knife seems a bit like bullying.”

“Brother Su Yun, I'll still use nunchaku…”

“Just right, I'll let you witness what an improved version of the Dog-Beating Staff Technique is like!”

Zheng Jianfeng was a little mischievous.

Su Yun weighed the “brick” in his hand, not showing any weakness: “Then… I'll give Big Brother Zheng a demonstration… of the ‘Head-Thumping Brick’!”

“The kind that thumps you silent…”

Zheng Jianfeng: “…”

“Less talk!”

“Here I come!”

Zheng Jianfeng lunged forward, his explosive speed incredibly fast.

The nunchaku in his hand swung.

The scary thing about this weapon was that there was no discernible pattern to its movements!

“Watch my nunchaku!”

A strike landed… air!

Su Yun dodged sideways, his figure cleverly evading.

Using the momentum, he moved with a step behind Zheng Jianfeng… Under everyone's incredulous gazes.

Thwack!

Su Yun delivered a genuine ‘Head-Thumping Brick,’ using just the right amount of force… It landed with a “smack”!

Instantly, Zheng Jianfeng's head was buzzing… And Su Yun… looked at the “brick” in his hand with confusion.

“That's not right…”

“When I hit it, the feel wasn't right!”
