Chapter 732: Overwhelming Strength

The many young girls surrounded Ye Bufan in the center, asking in unison, “Chief Instructor, are we considered to have graduated?”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly and nodded.

He was very satisfied with the performance of these team members. One must know that Ye Tian was at the Peak of the Earth Rank Middle Stage, and being able to land a Sword Qi on him was truly remarkable.

With the power of the Jinghong Sword Formation displayed by the Zhuque Squad now, they could even fight against a master of Xiang Donglai’s level. As for someone with the Earth Rank Early Stage strength like Wang Chengchou, they could be killed on the spot.

“Long live the Chief Instructor!”

The female team members became excited again. Being able to fight a master like Ye Tian was something they had never dared to imagine before.

No one knew who started it, but everyone kissed Ye Bufan on the cheek. In the blink of an eye, the Chief Instructor’s face was covered in lipstick marks.

Situ Dianmo hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she also gave Ye Bufan a light kiss on the cheek, just like the other girls.

Ye Bufan quickly wiped off the lipstick marks from his face and said awkwardly, “Alright, no training today. Everyone, rest.”

As the girls dispersed, Sima Wei appeared beside him, her face沉着 as she said, “Chief Instructor Ye, you’re quite capable, aren’t you? You got everyone to collectively kiss you so quickly?”

“Uh…”

Ye Bufan said awkwardly, “This is entirely due to my overwhelming personal charm; there’s nothing I can do.”

Sima Wei reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist, then said, “Even your team members have reached Earth Rank Cultivation, while I’m still at the Xuan Realm Great Perfection Realm. Shouldn’t you hurry up and Cultivate?”

“This… it’s not very suitable right now, is it? How about we find another Opportunity to talk about it?”

“No! You’re coming back to the camp with me right now. Don’t even think about leaving until you’ve helped this Tiger Girl Breakthrough to Earth Rank Early Stage.”

Sima Wei once again revealed her true nature as a Tiger Girl. She pulled him and entered her room.

Ye Bufan had no choice but to set up a soundproof barrier in the room and then began to diligently Cultivate.

Early the next morning, just as the sun rose, the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi suddenly stirred, rapidly converging towards Sima Wei’s barracks.

He Qingzhi, Lei Pojun, and the others all changed their expressions. At first, they thought someone from the Zhuque Squad had Breakthrough to Earth Rank again, but then they realized it was in Sima Wei’s direction.

After a while, Ye Bufan emerged from the room, a look of relief on his face. An entire night’s hard work had not been in vain; he had finally helped that woman Breakthrough to Earth Rank Early Stage.

Upon seeing him, everyone else looked relieved. No wonder Sima Wei had Breakthrough so quickly; it turned out it was all thanks to the Chief Instructor.

Lei Pojun excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Bufan’s arm: “Chief Instructor, how about you come to Old Lei’s room tonight and help me Breakthrough too?”

Looking at his Big Beard, Ye Bufan’s scalp tingled. He didn’t have that kind of special hobby.

He quickly shook him off and said, “Brother Lei, let’s not. Breakthroughs are all about Opportunity; they are rare and cannot be forced.”

Murong Ping observed everything, his expression extremely calm. After losing the last competition, he had already resolved his inner conflict.

This man in front of him was indeed superior to him and more suitable for Sima Wei. At least, with his own abilities, he couldn’t have helped her Breakthrough so quickly.

After breakfast, under Sima Wei’s supervision, the second competition began again.

After some discussion, they decided to target the strongest Zhuque Squad.

According to the rankings from the last competition, the Zhuque Squad would face the Baihu Squad in the first round.

According to the rules, only team members could participate in the competition. Instructors could direct from the sidelines but could not directly participate in actual combat.

When the competition began, the Baihu Squad members looked nervous and stood ready.

The Zhuque Squad did not participate with all members. They only sent Situ Dianmo, and she did not use a real weapon, only a wooden stick.

After learning the Jinghong Sword Art, she had always longed to test its power.

Even though the opponent was just one person with one stick, the Baihu Squad did not dare to underestimate her, as the one standing before them was an Earth Rank master.

Sima Wei blew the whistle, and the competition officially began.

“Everyone, maintain Formation, attack together…”

As the captain, Lei Pojun was very clear about the strength of his team members. None of them could defeat the opponent in a one-on-one fight.

According to his plan, they would complete the encirclement at the start of the match, using the strength of 25 people to counter Situ Dianmo.

However, before he could even finish giving his command, Situ Dianmo, as fast as lightning, charged into the opposing team.

The wooden stick in her hand danced, actually emitting a sharp Sword Qi.

As everyone watched in stunned silence, it took less than a minute for all 25 members of the Baihu Squad to be knocked to the ground.

This was only a combat training. If it were a life-and-death struggle, perhaps less than half of these people would survive.

“This is just too powerful.”

Not only Lei Pojun, but even He Qingzhi and Murong Ping were deeply shocked.

Through this battle, it was evident that although Situ Dianmo had just reached Earth Rank Early Stage, her strength was in no way inferior to theirs.

Coupled with the unpredictable Jinghong Sword Art, her strength had reached an extremely terrifying level. Even if these captains were to personally take action, they probably wouldn’t have any chance of winning.

Sima Wei announced, “First match, Zhuque Squad wins.”

Lei Pojun said with a wry smile, “This girl has been trained too well by the Chief Instructor. If this continues, there’s no way to compete.”

Murong Ping added, “Yes, with a master of Dianmo’s level, we can only concede.”

“Don’t concede, that’s too boring,” Ye Bufan said. “How about this: in the following matches, Situ Dianmo won’t participate. We’ll only send out the remaining 24 team members.”

He did this to give the other team members a chance at actual combat.

Murong Ping said, “This way, we can still fight.”

Next, the second match began, with the Zhuque Squad facing the Qinglong Squad.

However, the Zhuque Squad only sent out 24 members, while the Qinglong Squad went all out.

After the match began, Murong Ping originally thought his team’s strength was superior to the Baihu Squad’s, and they could at least put up a fight against the Zhuque Squad, which was missing Situ Dianmo, and last for some time.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the match started, the Zhuque Squad formed their 24-person Jinghong Sword Formation.

Under the encirclement of this Formation, even Ye Tian would be injured, let alone the members of the Qinglong Squad.

The result was even faster than with the Baihu Squad. In less than half a minute, the entire Qinglong Squad was knocked to the ground, with no one spared. This was definitely an overwhelming display of overall strength.

Murong Ping slapped his forehead and exclaimed, “The people the Chief Instructor trained are abnormal! This is not the strength new team members should have. Even if I personally entered the fight, I wouldn’t gain any advantage.”

He was speaking from the heart; the power displayed by the Jinghong Sword Formation was enough to make his heart palpitate.

In such a short time, he truly didn’t know how Ye Bufan had managed to train them.

Lei Pojun said, “Old He, it seems only your Xuanwu Squad can fight against the Zhuque Squad.”

Normally, in terms of Martial Dao Cultivation, the Xuanwu Squad didn’t have much of an advantage.

However, they were mechanically modified, and the Acquired mechanical parts installed had very powerful offensive weapons. In terms of power, they were no less than the firearms used by regular troops.

Although these Xuanwu Squad members displayed extremely Heaven-Defying abilities, they were ultimately only Profound Rank Martial Artists and still couldn’t contend with firearms.
