Chapter 18: The Little Brother Who Took the Initiative to Send Himself to My Doorstep

  （0018）

  "Third-class soldier Xia Xingxiao, attention! At ease!" Yu Zhilei shouted the order again.

  Xia Xingxiao could only stand up straight and try to calm her expression.

  Yu Zhi Lei solemnly fastened Xia Xing Xiao's shoulder badge, carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on his military uniform, and with a stern expression restored to her usual calm and collected demeanor as a military judge, she said: "Xia Xing Xiao, from now on, you will be the model for the fifth squad. You must set an example, lead your comrades to achieve even greater accomplishments..."

  "I'm sure you're aware, the Starry Sky World has been in turmoil. A new Starry Sky War is likely to break out at any moment. As an outstanding representative of the new recruits, Xia Xingxiao, you must always be prepared to sacrifice yourself for the country. The Federation needs you! We all believe that on the real battlefield, you will definitely achieve results that we can only admire!"

  She knew that Xia Xingxiao's heart was definitely in despair, feeling unlucky. Such a result was definitely not what Xia Xingxiao wanted. This kind of rotten person must be very afraid of death and very afraid of going to the battlefield. He was clearly trying to find ways to leave the army, but as a result, he inadvertently exposed his talent. Therefore, she intentionally said these words to annoy him.

  For this scumbag, as long as there's a chance to strike, it must not be missed. Even if it's just for the sake of those sisters who were wronged by him. The more he suffers, the happier she is. Indeed, Xia Xingxiao listened and listened, her face slowly turning a bit green.

  To be honest, Yu Zile's words really scared him. He had always thought that he might end up on the battlefield to die, and now with Yu Zile saying this, it was even more confirmed. With his talent, if he didn't go to the battlefield, who would? With his little three-legged cat skills, if he really went to the battlefield, it would be a miracle if he came back with a single hair left.

  As for his ability to throw Song Haicheng away, Xia Xingxiao didn't feel proud at all. In fact, he was a little terrified. What he worried about most was that the people above would see what had just happened and think his strength was pretty good, so they would send him to the battlefield ahead of time, which would be disastrous.

  Yu Zhi Lei was secretly pleased, but on the surface, she became even more serious. Her warning to Xia Xing Xiao had a considerable amount of additional content. She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of pleasure in having foiled Xia Xing Xiao's plan again. This kind of pleasure, she had never felt before with anyone else. In the end, the more Xia Xing Xiao wanted to leave the army, the more Yu Zhi Lei wouldn't let her go.

  As for Xia Xingxiao, under Yu Zile's repeated teachings, he finally couldn't keep his composure calm. In the end, he simply hung his head and had no spirit at all. Could he be happy? He felt like he had taken another big step into the fire pit again.

  Thinking again about the disobedient pearl inside his body, his expression became even more dejected. If he were a woman, he would probably have burst into tears by now. Not only that, but he would probably be rolling around on the ground too!

  Yu Zile suppressed a smile, waved her hand, and let Zhao Zhili take the other new recruits away, leaving Xia Xingxiao alone. Seeing Xia Xingxiao sighing and looking down with a dejected expression, Yu Zile became even more determined to teach him a lesson. Who made his eyes always glance at her chest? This scoundrel's inner heart was unknown how depraved it was! Such a guy wouldn't be taught a lesson without being severely and deeply punished!

  She deliberately said lightly: "Third-class soldier Xia Xing, you should be happy. You are the pride of the Federal Army, and all eight marshals will notice you. Now you are a third-class soldier, and soon you will be promoted to second-class soldier, first-class soldier, and lower officer. When you are promoted to officer, you can really go to war. Your future is promising, with a bright career ahead of you!"

  "The battlefield of the future is your stage! You can fully display your talents on it! I believe that you will definitely become a new star in the Federal Army! At that time, what De Gaulle robots, what Harrier predators, are not your opponents..."

  This is called deliberately mentioning the pot that doesn't open. Yu Zile was intentionally provoking Xia Xingxiao, that rotten person, and once again brought up the Starry Sky War. He even deliberately pointed out that he was only one step away from the Starry Sky War. Sure enough, Xia Xingxiao's face became even darker. In the end, it was almost as if he were a living dead man, without any anger at all.

  As for going to war, Xia Xingxiao was a million times resistant. However, what method could be used to leave the army in a proper and legitimate manner? Xia Xingxiao was entangled again. This entanglement caused him to lose track of time. As a result, he didn't even know when Yu Tili had left.

  Look at his own epaulette, the clear third-class military rank. He pinched his hand again, and it hurt to death. Obviously, this is not a dream. He really took another step closer to the battlefield. Xia Xingxiao let out a helpless sigh, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

  ……

  He quietly returned to his dormitory, only to find that Ma Peng was already blocking the door like a sycophant. As soon as he saw him return, Ma Peng immediately put on a smiling face, running back and forth, serving water and tea, being extremely obsequious, treating him completely like a superior.

  Where there are people, there is a river and lake, and the military is no exception. The factions within the military are actually very serious, it's just that outsiders generally don't know about them. Don't mention the big ones, even small fifth squadrons have already formed their own cliques.

  Song Haicheng brought a group of people, Ye Si also brought a group of people. With Xia Xingxiao's skills, he naturally had the ability to bring a group of people too. Ma Peng was probably here to make arrangements in advance. If he took Ma Peng under his wing, there would definitely be others who would come over to surrender as well.

  Today, Xia Xingxiao's stunning performance on the testing platform has attracted the envy of many new recruits. Especially when he flicked his hand and sent Song Haicheng flying into a sand pile, turning him into an ostrich, it showed off his incredibly powerful strength. Such a formidable figure, if we don't try to curry favor with him now, I'm afraid there won't be another chance later on.

  Originally, Xia Xingxiao wanted to get rid of Ma Peng. He didn't really like the idea of forming cliques. His personality was more inclined towards being independent and alone. However, thinking twice about it, within the military, there were clear orders prohibiting the formation of cliques. If he deliberately formed a clique in front of Yu Zilei, wouldn't she be furious and expel him from the army?

  As long as you grasp a degree, you don't need to go to military court, you don't need to go to jail, just being expelled from the army, maybe your conspiracy will succeed. Anyway, he is already a rotten person, continuing to rot, it's also very normal! The army won't want such a rotten person, right? Even if the army allows it, the vast number of taxpayers won't allow it!

  "From now on, if anything happens, just come find me and I'll help you out." Xia Xingxiao made up her mind and took charge of everything for Ma Peng.

  Ma Peng felt his status and position suddenly rise a lot after Xia Xingxiao's words. He was indeed here to make an advance move. Behind him, there were at least a dozen new recruits ready to join Xia Xingxiao's team. They even had the name of their group thought out - it would be called the Summer Star Battle Team. The golden star flashing in the lightning arc would be the emblem of the Summer Star Battle Team.

  Today in the testing arena, Xia Xingxiao stunned with a single punch, immediately attracting the attention of many people. For these new recruits who want to find a thigh to hug, Xia Xingxiao is indeed not a bad choice. With such outstanding achievements, Xia Xingxiao's future accomplishments will surely be boundless. If there are no unexpected events, wearing a gold star (lieutenant general rank) in the future should be no problem at all.

  Everyone is realistic, and so are soldiers. In the army, there is a greater emphasis on standing in line. Standing in line is actually just about currying favor with one's superiors. If you curry favor correctly, the rewards will be substantial. On the other hand, if you stand in line incorrectly, you're done for. You'll definitely be suppressed and have no chance of advancement.

  Ma Peng positions himself as Xia Xing's first trusted aide. In his own words, apart from fighting, he can handle everything else. Although he appears to be a bit dim-witted and lacking in intelligence, he has actually won over many people. Sometimes it's just so strange that when interacting with others, fools are more likely to gain people's trust.

  Xia Xingxiao couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. This number one horse, was really too eager. He had no choice but to find an excuse to chase him away first. He deeply suspected that if this guy continued to fawn all over him, he might even offer himself up voluntarily.

  ……

  The first test is over, and all the new recruits have returned to their solo training state. The next test will be in thirty days. During this period, the interaction between each instructor and new recruit will become more active, and their relationship will also become closer.

  It seems that Song Haicheng and Ye Sifu are both very flattering to the instructors, hoping to get their attention and guidance to speed up their own cultivation. The instructors of the fifth squad also pay special attention to them every day, which is a must. Even some special cultivation techniques are selflessly taught.

  Song Haicheng's coma actually only lasted for three or four hours. Xia Xingxiao didn't know any martial arts, and had simply thrown him flying with pure instinct. Therefore, Song Haicheng's injuries weren't serious. To be precise, he hadn't even been hurt at all. He woke up very quickly. However, Song Haicheng was willing to remain in a coma forever. Because, he really didn't have the face to appear in front of others. The things that had happened on the testing platform were just too humiliating.

  Even after several days had passed, Song Haicheng found it difficult to accept this cruel reality. The name Xia Xinxiao was like a devil's curse, always lingering above his head, refusing to dissipate. To the point that one day, a new recruit, not knowing what to say, mentioned the words "ostrich" and unintentionally glanced at Song Haicheng, resulting in Song Haicheng suddenly losing his composure. He immediately ordered his underling to severely beat up that new recruit.
