Chapter 118: You Just Lack Imagination
How could this kid's leg possibly hit me?
I am clearly at the peak of Qi gathering, unmatched in strength.
But why... why is this happening?
Jin Ke had not figured it out yet when he was sent flying.
With a loud bang, he collided with the weapon rack behind him, appearing extremely disheveled.
Instant knockout!
Ming Luo's eyes shone bright like two little light bulbs.
She had some doubts about Tang Rao's strength, but now, those doubts had completely vanished.
Who is Jin Ke? A master of the Sword Sect, with peak Qi gathering strength.
Yet, Tang Rao knocked him away with just one kick.
Good heavens, how formidable must one's strength be!
The soldiers in training were all dumbfounded, staring at Tang Rao and then at Jin Ke, who struggled to get up from the ground.
This guy, kicked Instructor Jin flying with just one foot?
This...
Isn't Instructor Jin at the peak of Qi gathering?
Why did this happen?
"Yo, peak of Qi gathering isn't much after all," Tang Rao said with a smile, watching Jin Ke slowly rise.
"Who exactly are you?" Jin Ke's eyes were cold.
The other party was only in his twenties, but his strength... honestly, he couldn't judge it.
That kick just now, he thought he had been careless.
But thinking carefully about the angle and power of that kick, it made Jin Ke feel oddly terrified.
This kid is definitely not simple.
"Ah, that's right, I haven't introduced myself yet—I am the Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department," Tang Rao said, squinting his eyes.
What?
A group of soldiers were all petrified.
Instructor... wasn't Jin Ke an instructor? How come there's another Chief Instructor?
And key point, he is so young, younger than all of them.
Likely just twenty years old.
Jin Ke was fiercely staring at Tang Rao, cursing Yan Zhengda, that trash, who really found someone to come.
And this kid seems very strong.
Thinking about it, Jin Ke felt furious, how could Yan Zhengda find such a monstrously talented kid.
So young, but the strength...
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the top ranker of the Cultivation Family youth exchange meeting I just mentioned, that's me," Tang Rao said with a grin.
A person from a Cultivation Family?
Impossible!
Jin Ke found it absurd, those damned Cultivation Families, how could they nurture such a monstrous youth.
This guy in front of him, at the very least, is at the peak of Qi gathering. Twenty years old and at the peak, Jin Ke found it terrifying.
Such aptitude, all the Sects across the world combined would not have many like this.
"Allow me to formally introduce him." Ming Luo stepped forward timely, walking beside Tang Rao.
"This is Tang Rao, who will be our Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department from now on. Got it?" Ming Luo said to the soldiers in the square in a calm tone.
"Yes!" A group of soldiers all snapped to attention, their military salutes executed flawlessly.
Tang Rao!!
Jin Ke's eyes shot forth disbelief, followed by venomous ferocity, and finally, it slowly disappeared.
"So it is Chief Instructor Tang Rao, forgive my blindness in failing to recognize Taiyue earlier," Jin Ke stepped forward, cupped his fists towards Tang Rao, even wearing a bit of a smile on his face.
Everyone felt it was a bit bizarre. Jin Ke, he is? Compromised?
This is not in line with Jin Ke's personality.
"Since the Chief Instructor is here, I'm going to rest. Speaking of which, that kick just now was really vigorous, I'm going to rest for a bit." Jin Ke greeted Tang Rao, then turned and walked away.
Tang Rao watched Jin Ke's departing figure, his face wearing a half-smile.
You think I didn't see that look in your eyes just now, the expression on your face when you heard my name, I didn't miss a single detail.
Obviously, Jin Ke knew him.
Probably, it was Huang Tianquan who told him.
"Instructor Jin, wait a moment." Tang Rao called out, his tone cold.
Jin Ke's steps halted.
"I heard you are from Sword Sect, do you happen to know someone named Huang Tianquan? I'm quite good friends with him!" Tang Rao asked, his laughter making Jin Ke shiver.
"Heh, I'm not quite sure. There are thousands of disciples in Sword Sect, and I don't know anyone named Huang Tianquan." Jin Ke turned and shrugged.
"That's really too bad, never mind then, Instructor Jin, you can scram." Tang Rao sneered.
Jin Ke clenched his fists tightly, arrogant to the extreme!
But in the end, Jin Ke didn't explode and quickly turned away.
"Interesting..." Tang Rao stared at Jin Ke's back, licking his tongue.
Tang Rao didn't know, this action of licking his tongue made Ming Luo's heart race beside him.
Ming Luo never knew that a twenty-year-old young man could possess such powerful charm.
That kind of charm, from the inside out, as if sitting atop the nine heavens, strong enough to obsess any woman.
"Ming Luo, snap out of it! You're ten years older than him!" Ming Luo harshly pinched her own thigh, trying to calm her racing heart.
"Ming Luo, why is your face red?" Tang Rao looked at Ming Luo, curiously asking.
Tang Rao had no idea what emotional turmoil Ming Luo had just experienced in that instant.
"I'm fine..." Ming Luo waved her hand, then quickly turned her face away, she couldn't continue to look at Tang Rao, the more she did, the more chaotic her heart became.
"Alright then." Tang Rao didn't dwell on it, instead he looked toward the soldiers on the plaza.
"Truthfully..." After a while, Tang Rao suddenly spoke.
Everyone perked up their ears.
"You guys really suck." Tang Rao narrowed his eyes and said.
Ah?! Everyone was stunned, they thought Tang Rao was different from Ming Luo, but it turned out he still scolded them.
"Even a fool like Jin Ke scolding you to that wretched state, and you still put up with it!" Tang Rao rolled his eyes and said.
Uh…
"Instructor Jin's strength... is too strong..." Finally, someone spoke up.
"So what if he is strong? You can drug him, add laxatives to his food; you could set a fire, burn down his room; you could pull out a machine gun and turn him into a sieve in minutes. There are plenty of ways, you just lack imagination," Tang Rao said with an expression of disappointment.
Ming Luo: "..."
The soldiers: "..."
My God, what kind of background does our Chief Instructor have, his ways are so wild.
"Tang… Instructor Tang, how about… we go now?" one of the shorter soldiers suggested with rolling eyes.
They had long been very displeased with Jin Ke.
If it weren't for military orders being absolute, damn it, who would want to take his nonsense.
"Now go for what, he's already run off." Tang Rao laughed, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
One could guess that Jin Ke had definitely already left the base by now.
"Alright, continue your training. Here's a piece of advice: pushing to the extreme is the root of breaking through." After saying this, Tang Rao walked away directly.
"Tang Rao, wait, the resource depot is that way!" Ming Luo immediately chased after him, shouting.
"I'll come to take it tomorrow, I have some things to deal with today," Tang Rao said to Ming Luo, then suddenly sped up and disappeared in an instant.
Huang Tianquan, Jin Ke, Sword Sect, having provoked me, Tang Rao, you better be prepared.
