251: Xiao Niannian is his martial arts aunt.

The comrades-in-arms in the Special Forces Brigade, especially the ordinary Team Members, definitely can't defeat Comrade Xiao.

And Xiao Cui, Fang Qiang, and He Yong also can't defeat Comrade Xiao.

However, if Captain Lu were to compete with Comrade Xiao, it's truly uncertain who would win.

He also felt that the others could not win against Comrade Xiao.

Comrade Xiao knows many martial arts; he recognized techniques from several different sects.

Previously, the Military Unit had invited some big shots from these sects to teach, and he was fortunate enough to learn a few moves. That's why he could recognize them.

"None of these people are a match for Comrade Xiao."

Squad Leader Li and Company Commander Yun stated this with certainty.

Hearing their words, the other comrades-in-arms felt even more confident in Xiao Niannian.

They must believe in Comrade Xiao; she will surely defeat these people.

So what if they are from the Special Forces Brigade? Weren't the Instructors of the Special Forces Brigade also captured by them on the island?

Hu Liang stepped forward and looked at Xiao Niannian with a smile.

"Comrade Xiao, I've heard of you. I'd like to spar with you."

The look in Hu Liang's eyes when he faced Xiao Niannian was not one of defiance, unlike the previous two Soldiers; he genuinely wanted to compete.

He noticed something familiar in Xiao Niannian's moves. Comrade Xiao Niannian's techniques seemed to include moves from his sect. Could it be that Comrade Xiao Niannian was his junior sister from the same sect?

If that were the case, he would have a good match later, but of course, he would never let Comrade Xiao Niannian lose face; he would stop before doing harm.

Xiao Niannian understood the meaning in Hu Liang's eyes. She heard many people nearby saying that Hu Liang had studied in a certain sect for many years.

"Alright, please begin."

Xiao Niannian struck a pose.

Seeing this gesture, Hu Liang felt even more certain that Xiao Niannian belonged to their sect or another sect, because only the direct lineage disciples of these sects would use such a gesture.

If her seniority was higher, he might even have to call Xiao Niannian Martial Aunt.

Hu Liang launched an attack toward Xiao Niannian. When Xiao Niannian saw Hu Liang's move, she knew which sect Hu Liang belonged to.

She also used a technique from their sect.

After Xiao Niannian and Hu Liang exchanged three moves, she realized that Hu Liang's close-combat skills were indeed good.

However, his strength was only average, but his potential seemed decent.

He looked like a direct disciple, but he hadn't studied enough yet.

Xiao Niannian immediately struck, forcing Hu Liang back several steps with a single move.

Hu Liang rushed forward again, only to be forced back a few steps by another technique.

"Hu Liang greets Martial Aunt."

Hu Liang cupped his hands and bowed toward Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian smiled upon hearing this.

She had indeed used moves that only a direct disciple could recognize, and such moves were only discernible by those of the direct lineage... "You are very good."

Xiao Niannian praised Hu Liang.

The surrounding Soldiers saw Hu Liang being forced back twice and thought he would rush forward for a third round against Xiao Niannian. Unexpectedly, Hu Liang bowed to Xiao Niannian with extreme respect.

The Soldiers standing farther away couldn't hear what Hu Liang and Xiao Niannian said, but the comrades-in-arms from the Reconnaissance Battalion standing closer heard Hu Liang call Xiao Niannian Martial Aunt, and they all widened their eyes.

Comrade Xiao is Hu Liang's Martial Aunt?

So Comrade Xiao is also a direct disciple of that sect?

Some of them had heard that in previous years, people from these sects descended the mountains to defend the country, and many sacrificed their lives. The remaining people also trained many disciples, some of whom joined the Military Unit to continue defending the nation... "You may rise."

Hu Liang only straightened up after hearing Xiao Niannian tell him to rise.

"Thank you, Martial Aunt."

In fact, Xiao Niannian's master in her original world had a very high seniority. Even in this era, Hu Liang, according to the rules, truly had to call her Martial Aunt.

The look in Hu Liang's eyes when he faced Xiao Niannian no longer held the desire to spar; now, there was only respect.

He never expected Comrade Xiao to be his Martial Aunt. His Martial Aunt was truly formidable.

Lu Jing could read lips. Although he was a bit far away, he clearly understood what the two of them said.

He never expected Niannian to be Hu Liang's Martial Aunt.

Niannian truly surprised him more and more.

Military Doctor Shen said in surprise upon seeing the gesture.

"Old Lu, it looks like Hu Liang performed a junior's salute to Comrade Xiao."

"You are right."

Military Doctor Shen was even more surprised.

"They fought for less than a minute, and Hu Liang performed a junior's salute. Does this mean Comrade Xiao is of his Martial Aunt's generation? Or..."

Lu Jing did not answer Military Doctor Shen.

Military Doctor Shen looked at Lu Jing's appearance, feeling even more astonished.

He never expected Comrade Xiao's background to be more impressive than he had imagined.

That old person who taught Comrade Xiao martial arts must be a reclusive master. He had previously followed his masters to visit several reclusive masters. Those people looked different from ordinary folks in terms of aura, and their abilities and character were top-notch... If Old Lu could really win over Comrade Xiao, it would truly be a powerful alliance.

That's really great! If Old Lu wins over Comrade Xiao, he can drink a cup of matchmaker wine.

Wait, given Old Lu's demeanor, when will he be able to win over Comrade Xiao?

Or rather, when will he be able to make Comrade Xiao understand Old Lu's feelings?

He looked at Lu Jing with disdain and swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

Hu Liang looked at the surrounding comrades-in-arms and said.

"I am completely convinced."

Some people looked at Hu Liang, then at Xiao Niannian. After a while, the comrades from the Reconnaissance Battalion started cheering.

Meanwhile, the comrades-in-arms from the other regiments were discussing animatedly.

"They barely exchanged a few moves, why did he surrender?"

"Could Hu Liang know Comrade Xiao?"

"Comrade Xiao repeatedly forced Hu Liang back several steps just now. Hu Liang truly cannot defeat Comrade Xiao."

"Comrade Xiao fought three people consecutively and won every time. She is truly extraordinary."

Some people speculated that Xiao Niannian might be transferred to the Special Forces Brigade after this competition. Others said that the Captains of the Second Team and Third Team of the Special Forces Brigade all wanted to recruit Comrade Xiao.

Xiao Niannian looked at Xu Yang not far away. Xu Yang, who had just been furious and demanded she apologize, now lowered his head, his expression unsightly.

Xiao Niannian's strength was even greater than he had imagined.

Where exactly did Xiao Niannian learn all this? Although his close-combat skills were considered powerful, compared to the elite Team Members in the Special Forces Brigade, he might only manage a draw. More formidable Team Members would definitely surpass him in martial arts.

During the island rescue mission, he fought two Instructors. Although he resisted initially, later two more people joined in, and he couldn't fight them off and was beaten quite a few times.

After being captured, he also suffered a lot.

Xiao Niannian sneered when she saw Xu Yang lower his head and avoid eye contact with her.

"Xu Yang, come here. Let's spar."

After sparring with the comrades-in-arms, she was now going to deal with Xu Yang.
