Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 477: Challenged...

"Just as I thought, can’t handle even a bit of grievance," Lin Feng said, looking at the nine men in front of him, all with eyes wide and furious. "The elite scouts are nothing special after all." He didn’t actually look down on them; rather, he believed that confidence is good, but when it turns into arrogance, it’s a serious flaw, especially for an elite squad that deals with drug traffickers. They needed to recognize their weaknesses and be put in their place.

"You! What makes you think you can talk to us like that? If you’re so capable, let’s settle this on the training field. I refuse to believe that I, the renowned Field Combat Division’s Spear King Xia Yong, can’t beat you."

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xia Yong was already seething with anger. At this point, he didn’t know what to do. He was frustrated by Lin Feng’s teasing and unable to retaliate. If Instructor Chen weren’t present, Xia Yong would have pounced on Lin Feng and taught the arrogant youngster a lesson. But for now, he could only issue a formal challenge to Lin Feng, hoping the young man would accept, giving Xia Yong a chance to teach him a lesson!

"If you’re so capable, let’s have a contest. Stop wasting time with your nonsense!"

"Our captain is the military pentathlon champion of the entire army!"

"He is also the true Spear King of Nanyun Province!"

"It’s not just the captain; every one of us here is truly an elite scout!"

...

After Captain Xia Yong spoke up, the entire team of elite scouts couldn’t contain their emotions any longer. They began roaring at Lin Feng, believing that the young man was blatantly insulting them and tarnishing the honor of their team. As members, they must uphold the hard-earned honor and not let anyone trample on it, especially since their captain had issued a serious challenge. As members, they couldn’t let the captain fight alone!

Even though the young man was standing next to the mentor, they didn’t know the relationship between him and Instructor Chen. But as long as they took down this man fair and square, they could still bring glory to the elite scouts, achieving their goal all the same!

"Disciple, what do you think of this?" Shang Yi, seeing the nine members of Xia Yong’s team, smiled helplessly as they relentlessly challenged his disciple. The elite scouts had had it too easy, being tasked to accompany the disciple through the Golden Triangle, their primary purpose being to act as a safety net for the operation. Their main objective was to give the disciple a chance to discipline the elite scouts, teaching them that there are always higher mountains and to humble them.

However, Shang Yi hadn’t expected the elite scouts to be so persistent in front of him, challenging his disciple. It seemed that his disciple’s earlier remarks had truly hit a nerve. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have lost their composure. This had never happened before. Although the disciple’s words were true, they were indeed hard to listen to. Shang Yi knew very well that the direct disciple of the master was not the same as an honorary disciple like himself. If nothing went wrong, this disciple would surely be a formidable presence.

"Forget it," said Shang Yi with a laugh, speaking to Lin Feng. "Considering how they are now, I’ll trouble you to give them some guidance, disciple." It was clear that the nine members of the elite squad were already seeing red. The bell’s ringer will have to untie the bell. It would be best for the disciple himself to step up and teach them a lesson. That way they would calm down, realize that there are always people better than them, and in the future, they might put aside their past pride and forget about their former glories.

"Elder brother, were you planning this from the start? Fine, let’s do it your way," Lin Feng shook his head. Sure enough, his elder brother was eyeing him to properly sort out these nine individuals using his hand. Nevertheless, he thought to himself that his brother had sent these men for his own good, and by sorting them out before leaving for the Golden Triangle, it could save him a lot of trouble later.

With that thought, Lin Feng didn’t say anything further. Besides, looking at the state of the nine men in front of him, he was quite annoyed, and the thought of putting them in their place to deflate their arrogance was rather pleasing.

What? He’s the mentor’s disciple?

He’s so young, how can he be the mentor’s disciple?

If the mentor is so formidable, then his disciple...

...

Saying it inadvertently caught the attention of the listeners, including Xia Yong, all nine of them were quite curious about Lin Feng’s identity. The division commander was a legendary figure within the Field Combat Division and even the entire Nanyun Province Military Region, with countless military honors. He had two first-class merits and even more second-class ones. Rumors said that the commander had entered and exited the Golden Triangle seven times. What kind of capability and courage was that? Definitely not something an average person could achieve.

But now, within the Field Combat Division, only Instructor Chen from the combat training team had ever seen the commander in action. Instructor Chen was still able to take on two members of the special forces at once with a combat knife, yet when chatting, Instructor Chen had said that he would still be decisively defeated after a few moves in front of the commander. From this, one could imagine the commander’s terror. Therefore, everyone in the Field Combat Division already regarded the commander as a War God-like figure.

And here was this young man claiming to be the division commander’s disciple. That did mean he must have some skills, but then the nine of them laughed again. So what if he was the disciple of the division commander? He was so young that even if he trained day and night, it was nailed on that he couldn’t have achieved much. To put it unpleasantly, it would be really impressive for someone his age to be as good as an average special forces soldier, let alone better, which was simply impossible!

With this in mind, the nine men felt relieved. Being the division commander’s disciple meant nothing. Being so young and daring to make such claims only proved one thing, this person was arrogant. Every person standing here had been practicing martial arts from a young age, and they all possessed natural talent for it. Breaking stones and splitting tablets with a punch or kick was easy for them, and what’s more, all of them had grown from actual combat experience, which meant they were all seasoned killers. These were hard-earned skills, not just for show. Hence, the elite members of the spearhead team were brimming with confidence.

Since that was the case, they decided to teach him a lesson and let him learn what a real spearhead was. They wanted to show him the consequences of underestimating the Spearhead team! The nine of them looked at Lin Feng together, their eyes lofting another challenge. If looks could kill, Lin Feng would have been torn to shreds by the gaze of these nine men.

"My name is Lin Feng, I am indeed your division commander’s disciple. Tell me, how do you want to challenge? Suggest a method," Lin Feng said, facing the nine men. From a purely military standpoint, they were indeed quite excellent, because Lin Feng could feel a killer instinct emanating from them. This indicated they had truly been on the battlefield and had killed enemies. These weren’t just any regular soldiers who touched a weapon only a few times a year. Plus, their earlier achievements further confirmed that they were truly the elite among soldiers.

However, all of this seemed child’s play in Lin Feng’s eyes because if these people ever encountered a real cultivator, they wouldn’t stand a chance. Today was the perfect day to shake their most confident domain, to thoroughly humiliate them, and then make them start from scratch, relentlessly train and aim for a higher level.

"Let’s do multiple events, then: shooting, hand-to-hand combat, and military obstacle course. These three could be concluded in a short time, how about that?" Xia Yong said, looking at Lin Feng, the division commander’s disciple. Although Lin Feng seemed young, by virtue of his association with the formidable, enigmatic division commander, his martial abilities couldn’t be dismissed lightly. However, if the competition included hand-to-hand combat and the military obstacle course, even if Lin Feng excelled in hand-to-hand combat and won that event, he would still lose the other two, and thus, he would lose overall.

Thinking this way, Xia Yong put aside the contempt he had felt just a moment ago. Being so young and yet so provocative, the young man must have some tricks up his sleeve. So he came up with this conservative strategy. After these three events, they were certain not to lose, because the Spear King of the army was in their Spearhead team. Xia Yong, known as the Jungle Master, excelled especially in the military obstacle course. As for hand-to-hand combat, there were no weaklings in the Spearhead team; any one of them could take on a whole group of people.

So with such matchups, it was impossible for the Spearhead team to lose. Moreover, Lin Feng, judging from his attire, was just an ordinary person with not a trace of a military vibe, clearly indicating his probable unfamiliarity with firearms. Hence, military obstacles would be even more foreign to him—such things were only regularly encountered in a unit like the Field Combat Division, not by ordinary civilians.

Haha, Captain is brilliant!

Such a method of competition is genius.

Captain is quick-witted!

...

The other members of the Spear King team, hearing Captain Xia Yong propose such a format for the competition, immediately understood its rationale and started praising the Captain’s wisdom. With this plan in place, there could be no unforeseen outcomes. In addition to the strong combat capabilities they all shared, the holders of national records in the two other subjects were all from the Spear King team. Under such a strategic composition, losing was out of the question, otherwise, the Spear King team wouldn’t enjoy the supreme honor they held today.

With this thought, the members of the Spear King team all smiled. In such circumstances, they were eager to see how Lin Feng, once defeated, would react. Underestimating the Spear King team was a surefire way to set oneself up for failure.

"Whatever, you decide what to compete in," Lin Feng replied, having understood their little schemes. However, he did not point them out; everything would become clear after the three events were concluded.

"Then let’s start with shooting. Let’s head to the shooting range now. See you at the range," Xia Yong said, then turned to arrange his team and quickly led the Spear King squad away, running towards the shooting range.
