145: Chapter 145 Captain Ji Unleashes His Power

Time slowly passed, and the two managed to run nearly ten kilometers before the bus stopped and let them back on.

Perhaps the Female Officer had a sudden change of heart, as she didn't give them any trouble along the way.

Soon, the bus stopped at the gate of a remote military base.

What came into view was an iron gate with two soldiers on duty. Looking inside, rows of buildings rose from the ground, and there was an endless expanse of open space.

Lawns, training grounds, canteens, dormitories—everything was there.

After everyone got off the bus, a middle-aged man in military uniform walked over.

The man looked around sternly and suddenly roared, "Everyone! Assemble!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly stood in a line with their heavy luggage on their backs, while the Female Officer stood at the very front.

The man looked at everyone with an expressionless face.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Hu Gang! For the next three months, I will be your instructor! Some of you might hate me, some might like me, but that doesn't matter!"

"But remember this! This is a military camp, a place for bloodshed and sacrifice! It is not a tourist attraction for you!"

"Did you hear me clearly?"

"Yes, we did!"

"Did none of you eat?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately roared.

"Yes, we did!"

"Very good!"

Instructor Hu nodded with satisfaction.

"Captain Ji, step forward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Female Officer standing in the ranks marched out in her standard military uniform.

Everyone was stunned at the sight.

"She's our captain? A woman is going to be our captain?"

Shi Hao, standing to the left of Qin Mo, said with some surprise.

As soon as he finished speaking, Instructor Hu's gaze, sharp as a viper, locked onto Shi Hao.

He then quickly walked up to him.

"What did you just say?"

Shi Hao was startled. "I... I didn't say anything..."

"Has no one taught you to report before speaking?"

"Report! I didn't say anything!"

"I heard you speak! Who are you?"

"Report, my name is Shi Hao, I didn't say anything!"

"I'll ask you one more time, who are you?"

"Report, I... I am Shi Hao!"

"I'll ask you one last time, who exactly are you?"

"Report! I... I don't know who I am either..."

"Hahahaha..."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Instructor Hu swept his cold gaze across the crowd, and suddenly no one was laughing anymore.

He then roared at Shi Hao, "Remember! You are a soldier! A New Recruit! I'll ask you again, who are you?"

"Report! My name is New Recruit!"

"Very good! Did you look down on your Captain Ji just now because she is a woman?"

"Report! I did not!"

"You did! I heard it! If you are a man, admit it right now!"

"Report! I... I did say it."

"Very good! Step forward!"

As soon as Instructor Hu finished, Shi Hao walked out helplessly.

"Didn't you look down on Captain Ji because she's a woman? I'll give you that chance! Now, go challenge her! If you defeat her, you can skip training, but if you can't beat her, then you won't be eating dinner tonight!"

Instructor Hu pointed at Captain Ji and said loudly.

"Is... is this for real?"

Shi Hao asked, somewhat surprised.

"Why do you have so much nonsense to say?"

Instructor Hu stared at Shi Hao coldly.

"Hehe! That's good then!"

Shi Hao turned his head and stared at Captain Ji, a trace of disdain flashing in his heart.

No matter what, she was a woman, and he didn't believe he couldn't beat her.

Captain Ji walked expressionlessly to the opposite side of Shi Hao, staring at him with unkind eyes.

The commotion immediately attracted a large number of veteran soldiers to watch.

After seeing who the challenger was, everyone immediately wore a mocking smile.

"This New Recruit is truly bold; he dares to challenge even Captain Ji. He must be tired of living..."

A veteran shook his head, his face full of sighs.

"What's wrong with Captain Ji? Is she very strong?"

A young man next to the veteran asked, puzzled.

"You must be new here, right? Do you know what we call her in private? Demon Ji!"

The young man looked at the veteran in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

"Let me put it this way! Don't let the fact that she's a woman fool you; she's the real deal. She once single-handedly killed eight pirates and saved a whole boatload of hostages without a single person getting hurt."

"Her marksmanship is a legend in our navy; it's as if she was born to be a soldier. I don't know why she insists on being just a small captain..."

"Sigh..."

Speaking of this, the veteran sighed, seemingly in pity.

"Anyway, there are too many stories about her to count, and she has countless merits."

"Why am I telling you so much..."

Saying this, the veteran shook his head and turned to leave.

At this moment, the contempt in the young man's eyes was gone, replaced by full admiration.

The law of survival in the military is that the strong are respected, and the strong are respected everywhere, and he was no exception...

After staring at each other for a moment, Shi Hao suddenly launched an attack, rushing forward with a lunge, his right fist clenched and aiming fiercely at Captain Ji's cheek.

Facing Shi Hao's attack, Captain Ji calmly dodged by leaning slightly to the side.

Then she curled her right hand and smashed her elbow horizontally into Shi Hao's chest.

"Hiss!"

Shi Hao winced in pain and quickly distanced himself from Captain Ji, rubbing his chest fiercely, his face twisted in agony.

He then put away his contempt and turned to look at Captain Ji vigilantly.

"Ha!"

Suddenly, Shi Hao roared, took a few quick steps, leaped into the air, and kicked fiercely toward Captain Ji with his right leg.

Before anyone could react, Captain Ji moved.

She stepped back sharply, then extended her left leg one hundred and eighty degrees, kicking Shi Hao fiercely in the chest.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Shi Hao was sent flying backward through the air and slammed heavily onto the ground.

Captain Ji still maintained her kicking posture.

At this moment, the entire field was silent, leaving only Shi Hao groaning in pain on the ground.

The look in everyone's eyes toward Captain Ji no longer contained contempt, but instead revealed deep admiration and respect...

Instructor Hu, who was on the side, nodded with satisfaction, then scanned the crowd and roared, "Now, is there anyone else who dares to look down on Captain Ji?"

"Let me tell you! Once you're here, keep your tails tucked between your legs. I don't care what kind of young master you were on the outside, and I don't care about your family background."

"Here! You only have one identity, and that is a soldier! A New Recruit!"

"Your task is to obey orders! Now! Did you hear me clearly?"

"Yes, we did!"

Everyone roared in unison.

"Now! I'll give you a chance! If any of you think you can defeat Captain Ji! The conditions from just now are still valid!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and no one stepped forward again.

"Very good! It seems there is no one left! Then, dismiss!"

"Wait!"

Just then, a loud voice rang out.

Qin Mo walked out slowly and said calmly, "I would like to challenge her!"
