Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 8: Xiao Zhuang beats up the class monitor, and Chang Ning gets caught in the crossfire.

If genius had a specific form, Miao Lian would think it would be Chang Ning.

This recruit's talent is terrifying. He can perform tactical maneuvers simply by watching the veterans demonstrate, which shows that he has amazing memory and athletic talent.

In fact, Chang Ning's athletic talent wasn't as amazing as Miao Lian imagined, but who could blame him when he had a golden touch?

As long as Chang Ning continues to train, she can see her progress in the experience bar every day.

With his special talent, he managed to transform himself from a physical failure to a superhuman through sheer hard work.

Chang Ning always manages to surprise people. Last time he broke the team's 5km record, and this time he did so well even though he just started learning speed shooting. He's a real gem.

No one can guess what kind of surprise he will bring next.

30 seconds

Upon hearing the results, even the veterans were at a loss for words when it came to Chang Ning's performance. Her 30-second time at the rapid-fire range once again broke the regiment's record, demonstrating that Chang Ning was essentially maintaining a sprint-like pace throughout the exercise.

It's quite extraordinary that the old gunman observed that not a single shot in Changning was missed.

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I definitely wouldn't have let him try."

The old man gave a wry smile, accepting his loss, and immediately lay down on the ground to do push-ups in front of the whole class.

The stakes between Lao Pao and Chang Ning weren't high, only a hundred. For a reconnaissance soldier, a hundred push-ups would only be a warm-up.

The moment his comrade announced Chang Ning's score during the countdown, Chang Ning's rifle shooting experience bar instantly filled up—his first ever full experience bar.

When the experience bar was full, many insights about rifle shooting flooded Chang Ning's mind.

If you let him try the rapid-fire shooting again, his speed may not increase, but the number of rings he hits on the target will definitely not be low!

The company commanders of the regiment that had made great contributions to the recruit training were all paying attention to the situation. When they heard that Chang Ning had broken the record again, the company commanders focused their attention on Chang Ning like sharks smelling blood. Chang Ning became even more dazzling.

Every day, a squad leader would come to Chang Ning to get close to him and chat, all in an effort to persuade Chang Ning to join his company.

The more outstanding a person is, the more opportunities they often have; this principle applies everywhere.

Seeing that Chang Ning was so dazzling, Miao Lian was really worried.

Everyone wants good talent, but the competition is fierce. He needs to find a way to deter those competing with him.

"Old Pao, find a way to get Zhuang Yan and Chang Ning from your class into our reconnaissance company. We can't let someone else snatch such good talents away from us."

That night, Miao Lian secretly called Lao Pao to the shadows in the corner and instructed him to think of a solution.

This stumped the old man, who looked at Miao Lian with a worried expression and said, "Company Commander, what can I do? The rules are all set in stone."

"This matter cannot be resolved using conventional methods. I trust you to handle things."

Miao Lian's smile was indistinct in the shadows, creating a somewhat strange atmosphere.

Time passed slowly in the mundane yet fast-paced rhythm of life.

It snowed again yesterday, and the snow on the ground has melted into puddles, making the ground wet. Luckily, there was no target practice today, so my clothes won't get wet.

"kill!"

Chang Ning punched the sandbag in front of him every time he shouted. He didn't understand why he had to do it and felt silly.

It's clear that you punch the sandbag with more force when you hold your breath, but if you shout it out, the air in your chest will be gone, and your strength will be reduced by 20-30% for no reason.

The class monitor asked everyone to do it this way, what could he do?

Besides, this matter can't be discussed in front of everyone; it would damage the squad leader's authority, and how would the veteran lead his troops in the future? If not handled properly, it could easily lead to conflict.

Since it wouldn't be worth the risk, Chang Ning didn't say anything. During training, you just shout along with everyone else; when it comes to actual practice, nobody cares.

"Pound it as hard as you can! What you're facing isn't a sandbag, it's an enemy, an invader!"
"Is that the kind of strength you have for killing enemies? You're as weak and feeble as little girls! Look at me!"

The veteran was about to demonstrate when he stood in front of the punching bag in a ready stance. Then he took a deep breath and threw a straight punch at the bag, which bounced slightly.

"Kill!" "This is the correct way to hit the sandbag. Put all your energy and strength into it."

Xiao Zhuang stood on the outside watching Lao Pao explain the correct way to hit the sandbag, but he was unconvinced. He couldn't see any difference between Lao Pao and the others, except that Lao Pao's voice was a bit louder.

Is the battlefield a competition of who can shout the loudest?

In the second round of punching the sandbags, Xiao Zhuang continued to do it his usual way. Lao Pao was delighted to see this: his chance had come; this time he might be able to complete the company commander's mission.

"Stop, all of you. I know you don't like hitting the sandbag, but now I'll show you the results of my sandbag hitting."

As he spoke, Lao Pao pulled Xiao Zhuang out, and to avoid arousing suspicion, he deliberately avoided looking in Chang Ning's direction.

Chang Ning is incredibly shrewd; Lao Pao is afraid Chang Ning will discover something.

"Come on, throw a punch at me."

Xiao Zhuang was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Why would anyone make such a strange request? Although he had long disliked Lao Pao, he hadn't gone so far as to resort to violence.

"What are you daydreaming about? I'll teach you to hit me!"

Seeing that Xiao Zhuang was not making a move, Lao Pao urged, "The venue is all set up, it won't do if we don't put on a show."

"Ok."

They've already asked me to beat them up, and given that Xiao Zhuang doesn't like Lao Pao, I can't waste such a good opportunity.

Xiao Zhuang got into a boxing stance, took a step forward, and threw a hook punch at the face he disliked. If it hit, Lao Pao's jaw would be dislocated.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhuang was a novice; his fighting movements were stiff and his footwork was inflexible.

His fist was barely in front of Lao Pao when he ducked and dodged it, then circled around Xiao Zhuang's arm, which hadn't had time to retract, and broke Xiao Zhuang's lip.

The stinging pain at the corner of his mouth left Xiao Zhuang somewhat bewildered. He couldn't understand why such a heavy blow had to be used during a friendly sparring session, as he had been holding back his strength.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Bloodshot appeared in Xiao Zhuang's eyes, making them look completely red. He was furious that the class monitor was bullying him!
"Ah~"

Since you've gone too far first, don't blame me for going all out!
Enraged, Xiao Zhuang charged at Lao Pao, disregarding all fighting skills, grabbed Lao Pao and threw him down, then pinned him down and beat him mercilessly.

Of course, this was because the old man was holding back; otherwise, dealing with Xiao Zhuang would have been a piece of cake.

Unbeknownst to the others, the tables had turned, and Xiao Zhuang had instantly gained the upper hand. Fists rained down on Lao Pao, leaving everyone stunned.

Chang Ning, who was watching the show from the crowd, was furious. If she didn't stop Xiao Zhuang, he might be sent home.

The original plot was to put him in solitary confinement, but this time the old man is clearly more seriously injured, and who knows what changes might happen next.

Having at least known each other, Chang Ning quickly stepped forward and helped Xiao Zhuang away.

Little Zhuang went berserk and started beating Lao Pao without any regard for the consequences. Of course, Lao Pao couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

In an attempt to separate the two, he parried their moves while pulling them apart. Inadvertently, he punched the old man, causing a visible bruise to form around the old man's eye.

Good heavens, seeing that he really couldn't pull it, Chang Ning quickly called for help.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help pull these two apart!"

The recruits then seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly pulled the two people apart.

In the end, Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang were both put in solitary confinement because Chang Ning had hit the class monitor.

This time, Chang Ning was completely bewildered. How could he be the one who hit the class monitor? He was the one who stepped forward to help separate the two.

The problem is, the old man pointed at his eye socket and insisted that Chang Ning hit him. What could Chang Ning say? It was indeed an accidental hit.

"I'll never meddle in other people's business again. If I do, I'm a dog!"

Chang Ning sat in the solitary confinement cell and said bitterly.
