24: Chapter 24: Battle Again 24: Chapter 24: Battle Again Lin Zhonghu nodded in satisfaction at the morale demonstrated by all the members of Leap Troop and, after announcing their dismissal, called Ye Chenfeng aside.
Ye Chenfeng’s combat abilities exhibited during his fight with Fang Haitao had completely surpassed what they were a month ago; his progression was incredibly rapid, which made Lin Zhonghu recall Ye Chenfeng’s earlier statement that he had not fully tapped into his potential.
Just as Lin Zhonghu and Ye Chenfeng pushed open the door and walked into the indoor training facility, Ye Dongjian came up to them, beaming, and said, “Zhonghu, I heard that our Leap Troop won this month’s competition?
Wasn’t that largely thanks to my nephew?
When I first suggested he join your Leap, you seemed quite reluctant!
Now, you realize you’ve picked up a treasure, don’t you?”
In a place as small as Strong Soldier Training Camp, any little movement spread quickly, let alone the monthly competition between Leap Troop and the Mighty Tiger Troop.
Ye Dongjian had received the news right after the competition ended.
With both the instructor and his uncle present, Ye Chenfeng found it a good opportunity to bring up his desire to leave the training camp.
Clearing his throat, he said, “Instructor, Uncle, I plan to take some time away from the training camp.
I need to take care of some personal matters.”
“Absolutely not, you can’t, have you forgotten why the old man sent you to Tianhai?
Do you now think that just because you’ve improved a little, you can get cocky?
There are still many things here that you need to learn,” stated Ye Dongjian, firmly.
“Chenfeng, your uncle is right.
You should stay and continue training until the end of the year,” Lin Zhonghu seconded.
Currently, Ye Chenfeng was the most skilled person in the Leap Troop.
If he left, what would happen to next month’s competition?
Once Fang Haitao recovered, wouldn’t the Leap Troop be trounced again?
Ye Chenfeng was determined to leave the Strong Soldier Training Camp; his sole focus was on improving his strength as quickly as possible.
Staying would mean marking time, which was not an outcome he wanted to see at all.
So he had to be honest, “Instructor, Uncle, the training here is no longer of any use to me.
Staying will just be a waste of time; that’s why I must leave the Strong Soldier Training Camp.”
At these words, both Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu’s expressions darkened.
They felt Ye Chenfeng’s attitude was far too arrogant.
With such pride, how could he ever achieve greatness?
Of course, they did not understand that Ye Chenfeng was being truthful and not the least bit arrogant.
“Chenfeng, do you even understand what you’re saying?
I absolutely disagree with you leaving the training camp,” Ye Dongjian’s stance was very firm.
“Uncle, staying here really isn’t beneficial for me anymore, so please just let me go,” Ye Chenfeng thought to himself with a wry smile.
“You now refuse even to listen to your uncle?
Fine, if you can beat me today, I’ll agree to let you go,” Ye Dongjian glared at Ye Chenfen with a fierce intensity in his eyes.
It seemed that to convince them, Ye Chenfeng had to display an undeniable level of strength.
“Uncle, you and Instructor Lin might as well come at me together,” he said.
“To hell with that, are you looking down on your uncle?
I alone am enough to take you down,” Ye Dongjian was furious.
Lin Zhonghu, on the other hand, was very wary.
The battle between Ye Chenfeng and Fang Haitao had shown him that Ye Chenfeng’s strength had significantly increased, and Ye Dongjian alone would certainly not be his match.
“Dongjian, let’s both take him on, and remember, no holding back.
We have to give it our all,” Lin Zhonghu assumed a fighting stance and seriously instructed.
Ye Dongjian nodded, not aware that Ye Chenfeng’s strength had increased significantly over the past month.
But having witnessed Ye Chenfeng and Lin Zhonghu fight to a draw a month ago, he knew he had to be cautious.
Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu flanked from the left and the right, shouting loudly as they swung their fists, initiating the attack.
From the beginning, Ye Chenfeng had activated the Peak of the Second Level Soul Force, enhancing his physical condition, which could now fully withstand this power.
Fist met fist in a series of solid collisions.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
Strong currents of air swirled chaotically through the space.
Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu grew more ferocious as the battle raged on, radiating an endless fighting spirit.
At that moment, they seemed to forget the true purpose of their duel, simply craving the satisfaction of a good fight.
In the blink of an eye, three or four dozen rounds had passed.
Ye Chenfeng hadn’t launched any attacks of his own, just repeatedly blocking the fierce assaults from Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu.
After all, it wasn’t quite nice to knock down these two right from the start—one being his own uncle and the other his instructor.
He ought to leave them some pride, right?
“Chenfeng, are you a lady or what?
Why aren’t you attacking yet?” Ye Dongjian bellowed.
“If you don’t thoroughly defeat us, don’t expect us to agree to let you leave here,” Lin Zhonghu chimed in.
It seemed that Ye Chenfeng’s intention to spare them was not going to be fulfilled.
His body suddenly struck out, deploying the Peak Second Level Soul Force, far surpassing the combined strength of Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu.
As Ye Chenfeng gracefully dodged their attacks, he threw punches frequently and precisely, hitting their bodies without fail.
In no time, Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu were left scampering all over the indoor training field, occasionally crying out in pain.
Now, the two truly regretted using the reverse psychology.
They stood no chance of retaliating in front of Ye Chenfeng, crying out, “You’ve won, you’ve won, stop it, please stop.”
Ye Chenfeng promptly held back his fists, looking meaningfully at the disheveled instructor and uncle, and smiled, “Uncle, instructor, now you should let me leave here, right?”
What else could Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu say but “yes”?
They knew Ye Chenfeng had been holding back from the start; otherwise, they probably wouldn’t have lasted a few rounds before being defeated.
Now they realized that Ye Chenfeng wasn’t being brash; his strength simply could no longer improve significantly by staying here.
“Get as far away from me as you can,” Ye Dongjian said, tossing a pass to Ye Chenfeng.
With this pass, no one would stop him from entering or exiting the Strong Soldier Training Camp.
Ye Chenfeng accepted the pass, smiled awkwardly, and said, “Uncle, instructor, I’m really sorry about this.
I was planning to take you down after a hundred rounds, but you two were just too impatient.
I’ll be sure to pay attention next time.”
“Go to hell, you little bastard.
I’ll get you next time,” Ye Dongjian roared, disgruntled.
After dropping that comment, Ye Chenfeng immediately dashed out of the indoor training field.
