Chapter Eighty-four: Hu Yimeng's Combat Strength and Wine Quality

  Inside the testing room.

  "Suwen instructor, this is the test room. The length, width and height are all three meters. Do you see the holes on the wall? During the test, those holes will shoot out ping-pong ball-sized test balls from all directions. These test balls have elasticity and sensing settings. To get a high score, you need to avoid the test balls as much as possible. In other words, the fewer times you are hit by the test balls, the higher your score."

  "It turned out to be like this." Su Wen carefully counted those holes, almost a hundred.

  "Officer Su, there's another thing to pay attention to. When the test balls are continuously being shot out, there will also be several red lights flying back and forth inside the testing room. You must try your best not to touch those red lights, or else you'll lose points too." Mu Yan added.

  Su Wen nodded.

  "That's all for now. Su Wen, instructor, get ready here, the test will start in one minute, and the test time is three minutes." Mu Yan walked out of the testing room.

  A countdown began in the testing room.

  “10、9、8……2、1！”

  Agile testing begins.

  The test ball has not yet popped out, and eight red lights appear first.

  Su Wen was well-prepared and wasn't particularly surprised. Three seconds after the red light appeared, a "clicking" sound came from the wall, and the test ball shot towards him.

  Su Wen quickly dodged.

  His body was soft to the extreme, and the movements in his skills were habitually performed by him. Those incredible movements left the onlookers outside stunned.

  "Is this action something humans can achieve?"

  "My goodness! His limbs are completely together, he must be a yoga master."

  "That body is like rubber, I feel like he can make any pose."

  ……

  Three minutes passed and the results came out.

  "Officer Su Wen, you were hit by the seeker eight times and grazed by the red light once. The system has determined your agility score to be 90.3 points." Mu Yan looked at Su Wen with admiration.

  "90.3 points?" Su Wen didn't know how good this score was.

  "Officer Su Wen, congratulations to you. Your score has tied the highest record of the 11th training base." Mu Yan congratulated Su Wen, "The captain had undergone multiple tests and only achieved this score this year. You got this score on your first test, which is even more impressive than the captain's achievement."

  Su Wen's achievement is clearly related to his physical skills. The incredible moves in the physical skills gave him more room for dodging. Without physical skills, Su Wen does not think he can get such a high score.

  "Good, worthy of being my nephew." Hu Yiming's bright laughter came over.

  "Good morning, sir!" Everyone bowed in unison.

  Hu Yiming is nearly fifty years old this year, but at the moment, he still looks very vigorous. He stood there, his whole person was majestic, with a sharp face, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, not an ordinary person. Especially now wearing a thin white shirt, it has a kind of high-profile demeanor.

  "Uncle Hu!"

  "Not bad, you didn't bring shame to your father."

  Hu Yiming walked up to Su Wen's side and casually patted Su Wen's shoulder. Others may not have felt anything, but Su Wen's body sank down. Hu Yiming's light pat had a force of at least several hundred kilograms.

  "Come on, let's go out for a walk, uncle and nephew."

  "Uncle Hu, let's just drop it. I'm no match for you."

  Hu Yiming didn't care about these things: "We're just testing each other out, Uncle wants to see what you're really capable of."

  The crowd around them cheered in unison.

  Su Wen could only nod helplessly.

  Training base's martial arts arena.

  "Su Wen, you make the first move."

  "My young nephew has committed an offense."

  Su Wen sprang up, his feet treading the Taiji step, his hands embracing an imaginary barrel. His hands, feet and waist formed a circle, which was the essence of Taiji Boxing, with attack and defense blending together in a sealed and closed manner.

  "Tai Chi Fist!" Hu Yiming's eyes sparkled with precision, his hands clasped together, and the two palms chopped towards Su Wen like knives. "Su Wen, Uncle's hand knife is very heavy, you'd better be careful."

  "Uncle, just come on!"

  A palm knife chopped down, and a huge force shook Su Wen's hands numb. However, Tai Chi emphasizes the use of borrowed force to counterattack, and its defense is almost perfect. Su Wen took a slight step back, his hands guiding the force, at least 30-40% of which was dissipated by him.

  Hu Yiming was shocked again, and another palm strike came over.

  Su Wen discovered Hu Yiming's terrifying side.

  Hurry!

  Hu Yiming drew his knife very quickly, although it was just a hand knife, but that speed absolutely exceeded the limits of human beings.

  One after another, the knife cut came over, Su Wen retreated step by step, he didn't even have room to counterattack. Those knives were as fast as lightning, in one second, Hu Yiming made at least ten knife cuts. After retreating more than a dozen steps, Su Wen finally found an opportunity to dodge Hu Yiming's attack.

  "Hehe, again!"

  Hu Yiming had finally found a worthy opponent, how could he possibly let Su Wen off so easily. With one swift step, he arrived in front of Su Wen, both hands simultaneously unleashing attacks that were even more ferocious. Su Wen was already having trouble defending against Hu Yiming's single hand, let alone two.

  "Unable to defend, then counterattack!"

  Su Wen's hands rotated back and forth, locking Hu Yiming's palms in a throat-lock-like grip. This was his flexible application of the Separating Tendons and Bones Technique. Since he had mastered the Separating Tendons and Bones Technique to perfection, he could now freely switch between its moves, even incorporating the essence of Tai Chi into it.

  Hu Yiming's hand knife chopped over, Su Wen's hands were as if wrapped around it. The technique of the "Separating Tendons and Bones" was displayed, Su Wen wanted to remove one of Hu Yiming's palms. However, Hu Yiming was no ordinary person, he immediately chopped his other hand over. Su Wen saw this, quickly withdrew his hands, then again wrapped them around Hu Yiming's other hand. Hu Yiming was extremely surprised, he wanted to switch hands, but Su Wen's hands somehow always managed to be one step ahead of him.

  The two men engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat for over three minutes, and all that the onlookers saw was a blur of movement.

  Mu Yan covered his mouth, shocked beyond measure. This was the first time he had seen someone who could fight against the captain for so long without falling behind. As for others, some of them couldn't even withstand Su Wen's three moves, and now they were ashamed to show their faces.

  "Boom!"

  After one strike of thunder.

  Su Wen and Hu Yi Ming each took three steps back. The two men's strength was roughly the same, and Hu Yi Ming didn't gain any advantage. Looking at Su Wen, Hu Yi Ming's face was filled with joy: "Great, that's great! Su Wen, from now on you'll follow me to train a special combat team."

  "Uncle Hu, my ambition is not here." Su Wen said bluntly, "This time I came here just to take a look at you. If you want to keep me in the army, then forget it. I have many things to do outside and the army is not suitable for me."

  Hu Yiming heard this and became very indignant: "A fine young man with a talent like yours, how can you not use it to serve the country?"

  Su Wen spread his hands: "Uncle Hu, serving the country doesn't necessarily mean joining the army. I have my own ideals and it's impossible for me to stay in the army for long, I hope you can understand."

  "Alright, let's talk properly later. I just went into the mountains and caught two pheasants, and I'll get the cafeteria to cook them up right away. Xiao Yan, bring out that good wine I brewed last time, I'm going to drink with Su Wen until we're drunk." Hu Yi Ming shouted.

  Su Wen heard this and hastily said: "Uncle Hu, I don't drink."

  Hu Yiming suddenly became displeased: "What's this about not drinking? A real man, a big husband, how can he not drink?"

  Su Wen thought of Tang Long's reminder and shook his head again.

  "If you don't drink, then don't drink. First, let's go eat with Uncle Tang. You haven't eaten anything on the road yet, have you? The mountain chicken in the mountains is now plump and tastes great after being stewed." Hu Yiming retreated and suggested going to eat something first, pulling Su Wen along.

  Su Wen was really hungry and nodded unconsciously.

  Inside the cafeteria of the training base.

  Su Wen and Hu Yiming sat down, and soon a large bowl of pheasant was brought up.

  Su Wen's appetite was greatly stirred up, and just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, Hu Yiming had somehow already brought over a box of aged wine.

  "Uncle Hu, I really don't drink."

  "It's not interesting, you don't drink it, Uncle will drink it himself."

  Su Wen thought for a moment and didn't think there was anything wrong either. Hu Yiming drank wine by himself, no matter how drunk he got, he would definitely be fine, so he started eating calmly.

  "Where are you going, Mu Yan?" Su Wen looked at Mu Yan who was about to sneak away.

  "It's like this, I was thinking that there were still some tasks that hadn't been completed, so I'll take advantage of this time to deal with them. Instructor Su Wen, you've just arrived at our 11th training base, be sure to eat your fill, if the dishes aren't enough, just let the cafeteria staff know, our 11th training base has plenty of good things." Mu Yan said, and hastily took his leave.

  Su Wen thought Mu Yan looked like he was fleeing in defeat.

  Hu Yiming had already poured himself a drink, and Su Wen didn't care about anything else, he just ate.

  Unconsciously, Hu Yiming's bottle of old wine was emptied.

  Su Wen gradually felt something was wrong, only seeing Hu Yiming dazed and confused, his mouth moving like a machine gun.

  "Su Wen, are you married? I know a little girl who is very pretty. In two days, your uncle will come to propose on my behalf and guarantee that you'll have a son by next year."

  "Uncle, I have someone I like."

  "Sue Wen, when we brothers are together, the most important thing is loyalty. Don't mention anything else, for the sake of our brotherhood, we'd go through thick and thin..."

  "Uncle, I am your nephew."

  "Sue Wen, actually you are also my son, born by me and your father."

  "Uncle, you're drunk."

  "Sue, let's not stand in the toilet anymore. What's floating in this toilet bowl stinks!"

  "Uncle, this is not a toilet, nor is it a urinal, this is..."

  Su Wen really couldn't say anything more and could only smile bitterly.

  "Uncle, I'll head back first."

  "Stop right there! If you dare take another step, you're no longer my son. Now, Uncle is going to sing a song for you... The Great River flows eastward..."

  A sound even more unbearable than pigs being slaughtered came over.

  Su Wen felt that it was better to kill himself, he looked at the box of old wine that Hu Yiming had brought over, gritted his teeth and grabbed a bottle, drinking it all in one gulp, then fell asleep beautifully.

  Indeed, as Hu Yiming said, the two of them finally got drunk and forgot their worries.
