146: Chapter 146 Fame Spreads Throughout the Audience

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire field immediately fell into an uproar.

"Are these New Recruits all so arrogant nowadays?"

A veteran soldier said with a face full of surprise.

Another veteran shook his head and said indifferently, "He's probably just trying to show off. It just so happens our Naval Base hasn't had any fun for a long time; let's just treat it like watching a play."

At this moment, Instructor Hu also frowned and looked at Qin Mo with a gloomy expression. A trace of disappointment couldn't help but appear in his heart; he had only been talking just now, with the purpose of intimidating everyone.

He hadn't expected Qin Mo to actually step out. Wasn't this a slap to his face?

Captain Ji looked at Qin Mo expressionlessly. She recognized him; this kid was one of those who had spoken rudely to her on the bus.

Thinking of this, Captain Ji was already prepared to strike him heavily later!

"Hehe... we meet again!"

Qin Mo gave Captain Ji a sheepish smile.

Captain Ji immediately settled into a stance and said in a low tone, "Make your move! I hope your strength matches your courage!"

Hearing this, Qin Mo didn't say a word and secretly became vigilant.

From that kick just now, it was clear that Captain Ji indeed had strength, and her decisive strikes must have come from the experience of many battles.

Although he had obtained Grandmaster-level Combat from the system, he could be said to lack practical combat experience, and Captain Ji in front of him was undoubtedly the best candidate to hone his skills.

Both sides stared fixedly at each other without moving. Both were highly tense, constantly searching for the other's flaws, seeking only to knock the other down in one blow.

Suddenly, Qin Mo's eyes narrowed.

His left foot slammed forward, and his figure charged like a leopard, his right hand clenched into a fist as it smashed toward Captain Ji's face.

Seeing this, Captain Ji immediately retracted her contempt; the guy in front of her had strength and wasn't just for show.

After a moment of thought, Captain Ji took a lunge stance and threw her right hand out to clash with Qin Mo.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out, and the two were immediately shaken back several steps by a powerful force.

Hiss!

At this moment, everyone present gasped.

Everyone looked at Qin Mo in shock, and even Instructor Hu's gaze toward Qin Mo changed.

To be able to go head-to-head with Captain Ji without being at a disadvantage was already a fantasy in their Naval Base!

One must know that although Captain Ji was a woman, the methods she possessed were not at all inferior to a Soldier King, and perhaps even superior!

Qin Mo rubbed his fist, a pained expression spreading across his face.

Looking at such a delicate-looking woman, how did clashing with her fist feel like hitting a rock...

"You are very good!"

Captain Ji looked at Qin Mo with deep eyes, a flash of wariness crossing her face.

Qin Mo shook his hand.

"You're very strong too!"

"Again!"

Captain Ji immediately set her stance again.

Seeing this, Qin Mo charged forward again.

The two of them exchanged over a dozen moves, unable to determine a winner.

Although Qin Mo possessed Grandmaster-level Combat, his practical experience was too poor. Compared to Captain Ji's moves, which were forged in blood and sweat, being able to fight to a draw was already outstanding.

After all, what he practiced was combat, while what Captain Ji practiced were Killing Techniques; the two were simply incomparable.

Bang!

Another muffled sound rang out. The two each struck the other with a palm, then both retreated.

At this moment, everyone present was silent. Everyone was surprised by Qin Mo, this dark horse.

To be able to fight to a draw with Captain Ji was something many people dreamed of!

After all, Captain Ji had once made a promise...

"Alright! Return to the ranks!"

Just as Qin Mo wanted to continue, Instructor Hu waved his hand and stopped him.

Hearing this, Qin Mo walked back into the ranks, while Captain Ji gave Qin Mo a complicated look and said nothing more.

At this moment, all the New Recruits in the team looked at Qin Mo with deep admiration. After all, he had won face for them; they all felt the glory.

Instructor Hu paused and walked up to Qin Mo: "What is your name?"

Qin Mo immediately straightened his posture: "Reporting! My name is New Recruit!"

"I'm asking for your real name. You've proven yourself; you are now qualified to state your name!"

"Reporting! My name is Qin Mo, twenty-one years old. Does the instructor have any other questions?"

Instructor Hu nodded upon hearing this, then looked at everyone: "Qin Mo has proven himself, but! He did not defeat Captain Ji, so tomorrow's training will continue. However, he can have an extra meal tonight!"

"Now! Everyone is dismissed. Go and organize your personal belongings. For the next three months, you will experience an unforgettable naval training!"

After saying that, Instructor Hu turned and left.

The next moment, all the New Recruits immediately surrounded Qin Mo.

"Brother! Where did you hang out before? How are your skills so good? Can you teach me a couple of moves?"

A pockmarked youth asked Qin Mo with a face full of excitement.

Before Qin Mo could react, another brawny, bald youth pushed the pockmarked youth aside and walked up to Qin Mo.

"Brother! Not bad! My name is Zhao Wu. Interested in becoming my little brother? I'll look out for you from now on!"

"Go, go, go! Get lost. With his skills, why would he be your little brother? Don't you have a mirror, or at least some piss to look at yourself in?"

A chubby guy with a large head and big ears pushed the burly man aside, then came up to Qin Mo with a fawning face: "Brother Mo! This little brother's name is Zheng Xiaohu. I'll be following you from now on!"

Qin Mo looked at the large group of New Recruits in front of him and shrugged helplessly.

"Uh... I still have things to do! I'll answer everyone's questions later!"

Saying that, Qin Mo pushed through the crowd and left without looking back.

"Hey... don't go!"

"Brother Mo! Don't leave me behind!"

On the other side, Captain Ji watched Qin Mo's retreating back.

Qin Mo, huh?

...

"These conditions are actually quite good!"

Qin Mo walked into his assigned dormitory, a standard four-person room.

Air conditioning, washing machine, water heater, and all kinds of furniture were available; it could almost compare to a small hotel.

Then Qin Mo casually glanced at the people in the dormitory, and his mouth suddenly hung wide open.

"You... you... you... you... why are you here!"

The youth sitting by the bed in front of him was none other than Ye!

The shock in Qin Mo's heart was no less than Mars colliding with Earth...

Ye looked up and glanced at Qin Mo.

"If you can be here, why can't I?"

Qin Mo calmed his heart slightly, then said irritably, "Why are you like a wandering soul? I see you everywhere I go!"

"It is quite a coincidence!"

Ye nodded indifferently, then lowered his head to organize his belongings, no longer paying attention to Qin Mo.

"Brother Mo! You're in this dormitory too?"

At this time, a hearty laugh came from behind.

Qin Mo reflexively turned around and found that the one walking in was exactly Zheng Xiaohu from before...

"Uh..."

The corner of Qin Mo's mouth twitched, and then he started organizing his own belongings.
