?Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Exhaling Proudly_1 Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Exhaling Proudly_1 The provincial police competition.

From the round of eight to the round of four, details omitted.

From the round of four to the final two, details omitted.

An entire day passed, and finally, the two squads that emerged victorious from the competition for the finals were announced.

It was War Wolf Squad and Falcon Squad.

Fate would have it that they meet on a narrow path, destined to battle it out at the Summit of the Forbidden.

It was a battle of fate as well as honor, and for War Wolf Squad, it was of utmost importance.

In the previous two matches, War Wolf Squad deliberately concealed their true strength to avoid intimidating the overconfident Falcon Squad, achieving victory with their original capabilities.

Therefore, Falcon Squad’s impression of War Wolf Squad’s strength remained unchanged.

An hour for dinner allowed the special forces squads to replenish their energy.

The location for the competition was also announced after dinner; it was to be held in a jungle known as Sombre Forest, located to the south of Gu Lin Island.

Dense with foliage and abundant in hiding spots, the complex terrain included air raid shelters, tree holes, caves, underground rivers, valleys, water pools, and more, with venomous insects and snakes lying in wait, creating many unpredictable elements.

At eight o’clock, the final competition officially started.

The rule was for each side to drop thirty members at random locations in the Sombre Forest from helicopters, to combat freely in encampments and engage in battle.

The members could use various weapons and equipment, but the ammunition consisted of blanks, which would emit smoke upon hitting a person, with the color indicating the type of hit.

Red represented a critical injury, white meant death, elimination!

Blank rounds were those cartridges that contained gunpowder but no bullet, however, they still possessed lethal potential, especially at distances less than 3 meters, where firing was prohibited to prevent injury or death.

At such times, close-quarters combat became the only option, and subduing the opponent would lead to elimination.

Sombre Forest was vast, and to speed up the progress of the competition, every fifteen minutes, the final circle would shrink toward the center.

If, beyond the allotted time, one was still outside the designated area, the signal locator they carried would sound an alarm…

Lu Chenbing gathered his squad early to discuss tactics and determine a general strategy and rendezvous points, then they set off.

Inside Sombre Forest.

Xiao Dao, a member of War Wolf Squad, was quickly moving stealthily through the jungle when suddenly, a bullet whizzed towards him.

Xiao Dao’s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly threw himself to the ground, narrowly dodging the shot.

Afterward, he hid himself.

The enemy had night vision scopes, so he couldn’t act rashly.

Seeing the first sniper bullet missed its target, Falcon Squad’s sniper Wolf King frowned and then changed position to avoid being ambushed by the enemy.

At his new location, he had hidden for less than two minutes when suddenly a gust of wind blew behind him; he swiftly turned around to find Xiao Dao pouncing on him.

There was no time to raise his gun, so he dropped his sniper rifle and drew out his combat knife.

But as soon as he stabbed out, the opponent threw his combat knife at him.

Wolf King deflected the incoming knife with his own, and at that moment, he found a fist slamming into his chest, sending him flying.

The punch was powerful and weighty, inflicting internal damage on him immediately.

Xiao Dao seized the advantage and pursued, completely overpowering his opponent in less than ten seconds.

Similar scenes were being enacted throughout Sombre Forest.

…

“Big-mouth Li, what do you think?

Still feeling proud now?”

In the observation room, Lu Chenbing was triumphant, his lips curled in a smug smile as he spoke.

?????.??

“Lu Chenbing, your…

your guys must have used some banned substances, their strength has skyrocketed by several times,” Li Cheng said with resentment, though he was just making an offhand remark.

“Hehe, after the final, you can go check War Wolf Squad’s blood yourself,” Lu Chenbing said leisurely.

“Hmph!”

Li Cheng let out a cold snort, feeling very uncomfortable inside.

The strength of the opposing team’s members was terrifying; several of them were Ancient Martial Artists in the Qi Drawing Realm, any one of whom could wipe out Falcon Squad singlehandedly.

How could they possibly fight against that?

They were practically eliminated upon encounter.

The so-called finals were nothing more than a one-sided slaughter.

Even the leaders watching the match were shocked by the strength displayed by the War Wolf Squad.

In the first shrink of the circle of combat, the Falcon Squad lost six members.

In the second, eight members were gone.

…

Until the entire Falcon Squad was eliminated, the War Wolf Squad had no casualties.

Among them, the two strongest team leaders of the Falcon Squad were both taken out in one-on-one KO’s by a regular member of the War Wolf Squad.

This scene instantly stunned everyone in the command room.

This devastating defeat, completely devoid of face and dignity, left Li Cheng at a loss for words.

However, the leaders looked at Lu Chenbing with admiration.

“Lu Chenbing, I have lost.

I will adhere to the bet now,” Li Cheng took a deep breath and said bravely, “I am a king…”

“There’s no need,” However, Lu Chenbing magnanimously waved his hand and calmly said, “Just admitting defeat is fine.

Who really cares about a bet?

No need for that!”

Li Cheng’s face instantly became complex, not expecting the victorious Lu Chenbing to be so magnanimous, allowing him to save face in front of all the leaders.

This year’s provincial police competition, the champion could be none other than the War Wolf Squad.

What followed was merely the closing ceremony, speeches by leaders, awarding of prizes and the like, all of which are omitted here.

As it was late, everyone stayed on the island that day.

That night, the leaders had a conversation with Lu Chenbing, and when they learned that the members of the War Wolf Squad had improved from the standard of a regular special forces team to all members reaching the physical conditioning and even the Qi Drawing Realm within a month, they were instantly astounded.

“May I ask how you achieved this?” a senior military instructor couldn’t help but ask.

“I hired a coach named Xu Fan…”

In the end.

The military leadership couldn’t keep Xu Fan, so they had Xiao Dao and a few members of the team stay on Gu Lin Island as special instructors, to provide intensive training for three months, targeting all the special police teams in the province.

“Qin Qinglong, he’s gone back to Yanjing,” Xu Fan received early in the morning the situation report sent by Iron Hand Master.

Yanjing, Xu Family.

Xu Tianhu sat heavily in a Taishi Chair, his brows tightly knit with worry.

“Family Head, Young Master Qin Qinglong has come to visit you,” a clan member said.

“Never mind, I will go to greet him myself.” Xu Tianhu braced himself and got up.

After saying this, he walked outside.

Despite Qin Qinglong being junior in status, he was currently very much in the limelight, his career and reputation soaring high as the darling of the Flame Dragon, so even Xu Tianhu dared not slight him in the least.

At the manor’s main gate, Xu Tianhu looked at Qin Qinglong, a young man around twenty-seven years old, dressed in a sharp suit, tall and well-built, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding a strong masculine aura.

Behind Qin Qinglong followed a senior in Tang attire, his eyes appearing to have slits, yet seeming not to, his expression utterly indifferent.

“My esteemed nephew, I hear you have achieved remarkable feats, your merits are truly impressive,” Xu Tianhu greeted him with a smile.

“Uncle Xu flatters me, a lone Qinglong’s power is after all limited.
