Gu Xiaoxi clenched her fist, assuming a combat stance.
Zhong Ming watched Gu Xiaoxi’s movements with several traces of caution in his eyes.
He had experienced Gu Xiaoxi’s cunning and didn’t dare to underestimate her anymore.
Not to mention her ability to escape, the fact that she could break away from him was uncontested.
Zhong Ming no longer held back, his fists striking out swiftly in a preemptive attack.
He was determined to settle the score today.
A cold sneer flickered in Gu Xiaoxi’s sparkling eyes as she matched his move with a punch of her own.
Her fist carried a fierce gust, kicking, blocking, dodging, each movement as if rehearsed thousands of times, swift, accurate, and ruthless, all within just ten rounds.
Zhong Ming held his wrist that had been painfully struck, now taking Gu Xiaoxi seriously.
She was clearly just a girl, but her posture made it obvious that not only had she learned combat, her skills were definitely battle-hardened.
To win, he had to completely overpower her with strength.
And this time, Zhong Ming’s punches came with a different level of force and speed, as he gave it his all.
Gu Xiaoxi, however, no longer faced him head-on but quickly shifted her position, dodging under his flurry of punches.
In just the blink of an eye, she had easily evaded more than a dozen of Zhong Ming’s attacks.
This caught Zhong Ming by surprise, making him once again realize the shock Gu Xiaoxi brought to him.
Was this person really good at assessing the situation?
Knowing she was not as strong as him, had she chosen to avoid his sharp edge?
Zhong Ming snorted coldly!
He wouldn’t give her the chance to turn the tables—this time, he had to teach her a lesson.
His attacks became even more ruthless.
“Girls will be girls, they already lose a lot when it comes to strength.
This kind of evading without attacking, she’s asking to lose!” a soldier commented.
Yi Chentian, watching Gu Xiaoxi, shook his head, disagreeing.
Gu Xiaoxi’s dodges were not because she was weaker or afraid to attack but because she was looking for Zhong Ming’s weaknesses.
She was indeed much shorter than Zhong Ming, but when it came to intelligence, obviously she was much superior.
Gu Xiaoxi initially just dodged, but ten minutes later, Zhong Ming lunged fiercely, his fist bringing a whirlwind towards Gu Xiaoxi’s face, stunning everyone with his speed and power.
This time, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t dodge but agilely flipped over to his back and suddenly struck, her palm exploding with immense force.
That palm, seemingly gentle, carried the power to knock down an ox across a mountain.
Zhong Ming felt a jolt in his chest as his blood flowed backward and his body turned numb, freezing him on the spot.
Gu Xiaoxi flipped him onto the ground with one kick, bending over with her fingers tightly locked around his throat, leading to his instant defeat!
All were shocked!
Those who knew Zhong Ming were aware that he had strong endurance and was a top performer in the Special Forces.
And yet, he was defeated by a little girl?
Zhong Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief as he lay stiff on the ground.
“You’ve lost!” Gu Xiaoxi smiled slightly, casually withdrawing her hand as if the fight had been nothing more than a game.
She stood in front of him, smiling faintly at him.
Her smile was radiant, the rising sun shining on her, casting her delicate silhouette in a glow that seemed to light up; brilliantly golden and somewhat dazzling.
“Zhong Ming, I believe!” Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze fell on the badge on his chest, “You’re quite impressive.
A body full of raw strength is indeed an extraordinary attribute, but, sadly, you’re a bit lacking upstairs.
You need to be reforged.
Disbanding you lot, I think the commander is quite wise.”
“*Pfft*!” The sound of someone spitting blood abruptly filled the air.
This girl, her tongue is too poisonous.
Yi Chentian covered his face with his hand, uncertain from where this living treasure had come.
She seemed intent on drawing collective hatred!
In his heart, he cried out, “Gu Xiaoxi, do you realize that your words will cause public outrage!”
“You little brat, what are you talking about?” Zhong Ming was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
He had given all he had and suffered greatly, just to barely make it into the Special Forces.
And now, because of her, the whole team was being disbanded.
Despite being younger than him, when she lectured people, her words were venomous enough to make someone want to strangle her.
“I’m saying you need to start over!” Gu Xiaoxi unabashedly met Zhong Ming’s furious gaze.
“I hope next time your brain functions a bit better.”
“You!” Zhong Ming sprang up from the ground, pointing at Gu Xiaoxi, his cheeks turning from red to purplish.
He looked like he wanted to fight Gu Xiaoxi but held back from making a move.
Because what Gu Xiaoxi said was correct.
He did have to reforge himself and wait for next year; he was certain to start over then, and at that time, he wouldn’t be ‘incapable’ as he was now.
Actually, of all Gu Xiaoxi’s skills, hacking ranked first, racing second, combat third, and everything else…
she was utterly hopeless at.
So if he had chosen to compete in other areas—like shooting or navigating obstacles—things she had never touched, Gu Xiaoxi naturally wouldn’t have won so easily.
But he had to pick her strongest points.
His luck was just that bad!
It wasn’t that he was incompetent; rather, Gu Xiaoxi was even more skilled.
One should know she was a little freak who had been tortured and tormented by many masters since childhood, quick-witted with extraordinary skills.
In terms of dealing with people, she was shrewd, capable of flattering, and assessing the situation—at the end of the day, she was an ‘Immortal’ you couldn’t beat.
Thus, it was clear that Gu Xiaoxi had endured a lot of hardship since childhood.
No strong person is born that way; Gu Xiaoxi was human and no exception.
“All right, Zhong Ming.
Xiao Xi is right, since you’ve come back.
Then start anew.
Every year the higher-ups recruit Special Forces soldiers.
If not this year, then there’s always next year,” Yi Chentian immediately intervened to defuse the situation.
“Squad leader!” Zhong Ming glared at Gu Xiaoxi, grinding his teeth.
Restarting wasn’t such a big deal; it was just that seeing Gu Xiaoxi always stirred the combative cells in his heart.
In this life, if he couldn’t defeat her, it would be a lifelong disgrace!
Years later, if he knew that he would bear this disgrace for a lifetime, he wouldn’t take it so seriously.
But of course, that’s a story for later.
“Don’t bother with a child.
Next year, I’ll join you in trying out for the Special Forces,” Yi Chentian slapped his shoulder and promised.
“Really?”
“Really!”
Zhong Ming excitedly stood up and gave Yi Chentian a military salute.
They were originally supposed to join the Special Forces together this year, but Yi Chentian missed the Special Forces selection due to family issues.
Gu Xiaoxi waved her hand dismissively, uninterested in their affairs.
Now that she had passed this obstacle, she thought of how to leave quickly.
Turning around, she walked briskly out of the crowd.
Yi Chentian watched Gu Xiaoxi’s retreating figure, a mild smile on his lips.
After pacifying Zhong Ming and ordering everyone to disband, he chased after Gu Xiaoxi.
“Miss Gu, please wait!”
Gu Xiaoxi stopped, turning around to size up Yi Chentian, “Oh, is there something Big Brother Yi needs from me?”
“Add me as a friend!” Yi Chentian said with a smile.
He was filled with admiration for Gu Xiaoxi.
