Ace of the Dragon Division

Chapter 231.1: Other People’s Commander (Part one)

Xu Cheng curiously asked, “Why can’t he convince his family?”

Ye Qiu: “His family isn’t simple, and they may be just as influential in politics as my family is within the military. He can’t go against his family because he couldn’t prove that he is better suited for the military. Besides, he is also the eldest son in his generation, and the other cousins and brothers of his are all pretty scummy. Since he is the only one that is presentable, his family wants to raise him to be their successor. But, he really likes the military and doesn’t want to go into politics. I heard about it already, and how you were forced by your own team to fight by yourself. You think that if his family was simple, your commander would just let that little brat be the team captain and have everyone play around him? Even though that happened, you are still too good; even going solo, you managed to get first place. This was a dream I always had but two years ago, I tried it when I was in my prime. But then, I was getting chased by all those b@stards left and right like a mouse. In the end, I met up with my team after learning the gap between my dream and reality.”

As the two chatted, they were all sent to the military hospital and started to get treated.

Xu Cheng was a bit dehydrated due to consuming too much of his energy. Although his power was terrifying, it exhausted his body pretty quickly. His body was still not used to him suddenly summoning this much strength and pulled a few muscles and tissues, so he also needed to rest in bed for a bit.

But, his injury was the lightest and simplest. The other so-called master-level soldiers were all looking at different levels of disability and needed to be hospitalized for long-term observation and treatment.

At the moment the competition ended, Commander Xie mimicked Xu Cheng and shouted at those commanders, “Who else?!”

Those commanders from the top-tier military regions were all dumbfounded and speechless.

Commander Xie couldn’t help but tease them, “Oh, let me remind you, because Bagh and the others all ripped off their badges at the same time, it’s going to be hard to sort out second place to seventh place. You guys can take your time and fight over them.”

Then, he handsomely turned around with Instructor Yan and left the room, even feeling like he was floating as he walked, leaving those old commanders immediately surrounding the referee and trying to fight for a higher place. In the end, they even began fighting.

In the military hospital, Xu Cheng was lying on his bed with an IV set up. The whole hall was filled with contestants of this competition. They were either sitting with an IV needle in their arm or laying down, and they chatted. Indeed, soldiers all had really straightforward characters, they would treat the competition seriously on the battlefield but go back to being friends after the competition and discuss what happened. It could be observed that they were really enjoying it.

At this moment, two men walked up to Xu Cheng’s bed. One guy extended his hand, wanting to shake Xu Cheng’s hand. “Hello, I’m Huang An. I’m the guy that was sniped by you first in the leg and then in the head while four men were covering me.”

After getting eliminated, Huang An went and asked his instructor, and after learning that it was only one person that destroyed their whole team, he experienced a complete mental collapse and then became a big fan. So, he really wanted to get to meet Xu Cheng, and after he was out, he was also waiting for news of Xu Cheng. Then, after learning that he actually won first place, Huang An felt like the solo ace this year was really on a whole new level, even better than those textbook examples.

Xu Cheng shook his hand and jokingly replied, “You are not here to seek revenge, right?”

Huang An laughed. “I’ve thought about it too, but after hearing that you won a 1v6 against the top-tier masters, I decided to go home and continue dreaming instead.”

Bedside him, Ah-Pao looked at Xu Cheng passionately with a pen in hand. “Umm… Can I get a signature from you?“

Xu Cheng felt a bit awkward. But seeing how serious and sincere Ah-Pao was, he grabbed over the pen and signed on Ah-Pao’s uniform. Then, Ah-Pao also asked to get a photo with Xu Cheng.

 Other People’s Commander (Part two)

At this time, someone else came over and walked towards Xu Cheng. He also extended his arm for a handshake with Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng nodded, shaking his hand, and that guy asked him, “The smoke was so thick, how did you manage to headshot me?”

Xu Cheng smiled and replied, “Because I bet on the fact that you were eager. I know your team didn’t get a single point, and after you saw Captain Huang An and his team run off, you were very eager to chase after them. So when the smoke completely covered that area, I made a bet that you would run out from behind that tree right away to chase after them. And I got it right.”

“Without good marksman skills, it’s useless even if you made the right bet. I have to admit how skilled you are,” after that guy admiringly said a few words, he left.

After Xu Cheng sent off that one, he saw two beds getting rolled into the hall he was in. Behind the two doctors that walked in with those beds followed that one female soldier, Wang Ying.

When Wang Ying walked past Xu Cheng, she snorted and rolled her eyes. Those resentful eyes made it look like Xu Cheng took advantage of her and then dumped her or something, making Xu Cheng feel quite awkward.

Those two beds were parked beside Xu Cheng. Seeing two mummies, Xu Cheng asked Wang Ying, “Who are these two?”

Wang Ying didn’t want to talk to him and she just folded her arms and ignored him.

It was actually those two “mummies” that were especially “excited”. They shouted, “You are the one that facking did this to us, and you are asking who we are?”

Hearing the voices of those two “mummies”, Xu Cheng finally recognized that it was Wu Hao and Yan Wei.

“You… How did you guys hurt your head too? I don’t remember hitting your head though…” Xu Cheng asked curiously.

Yan Wei glared at him. “You still have the balls to mention it?! Which fcking b@stard put the mines around us? Now our ears are even suffering intermittent tinnitus and that’s why we have bandages around our head as well.”

Xu Cheng rolled his eyes. “But you guys could’ve plugged your ears…”

Those two immediately stopped talking. A burning rage ignited in their heart again upon remembering the pig-like teammates they had.

Wu Hao said with regret, “If we knew you were this strong, we would’ve just teamed up. We could’ve made our way into the top three, but that ship has already sailed…”

“See? Isn’t that right? I already told you guys earlier, I can just carry you, yet you guys insisted on fighting me. What are you guys ranked now?”

Speaking of this, Wang Ying snorted. Everyone knew it was mainly her that was against cooperating with Xu Cheng at that time. Now, this woman had some strong opinion of Xu Cheng, and of course it was because of how Xu Cheng used her to block bullets… She would’ve let it go if it was just once, but Xu Cheng did it twice! She got shot so many times that her butt was still hurting right now.

Yet, even until now, she still hadn’t heard a single apology from Xu Cheng. Seeing that there was still no sign of Xu Cheng being even a little apologetic about what he did, she became even more furious.

“Don’t mention it. Last year, we were 5th place, but this year, I think we are 15th. I heard our commander is furious right now.

At this moment, Commander Xie and Instructor Yan walked in. Commander Xie was smiling nonstop as he walked in and sat down by Xu Cheng’s bed. He took Xu Cheng’s hand excitingly and said, “Good job, Xu Cheng. Recover well, and in three days, wear our regional uniform and go to the award ceremony to accept the reward and make our region shine on stage. You didn’t disappoint me. In the past when you left, it was indeed a right decision to not cancel your serving status. I always had hope for you, and this time when Instructor Yan told me to add you onto the team, I immediately approved as well because I know you will always be a man capable of creating miracles. When we get back, immediately, promotion!”

Wu Hao mumbled on the side, “Look at other people’s commanders…”
