Half an hour after dinner, the inspector and his soldiers walked up to them and said:

  "The big match is about to start this afternoon. Now announcing the order of the matches: Zi vs Hai; Chou vs Xu; Yin vs You; Mao vs Wei..."

  "The Zi and Hai teams come forward to prepare!" The soldiers cordoned off a large area in the training ground for them to fight.

  The Zi and Hai teams entered the field one after another, with both sides having similar strength on the surface. The battle was also very intense, and in the end, the Hai team won with only three people left.

  Next was the Chou and Xu teams, with the Chou team being crushed. There was a person in the Xu team whose marksmanship was very good, and it was precisely because of this person that the Xu team directly broke through the Chou team's formation, resulting in their defeat.

  The next one is Zhang Feng and his team, both sides are in a stalemate, Zhang Feng's side is because his hand has not fully recovered, the Yinzi team knows its own strength and saw Zhang Feng knock down the stone lock this morning, so they don't dare to start fighting first. Both sides are silently confronting each other.

  King Ping, who had a short temper, couldn't hold back any longer and charged forward with his wooden sword and shield. Zhang Feng was worried that he would lose control and directly ordered everyone to charge together. The crowd rushed forward, the Xu brothers each holding a staff and a knife, and in the blink of an eye they took down three or four people. Zhang Feng, who was at the back, was startled, not expecting the normally quiet and taciturn brothers to be so fierce. Chen Hua, who was watching from the side, stared with wide eyes, amazed that so many miracles had happened today.

  In the end, Zhang Feng and others didn't even make a move, relying solely on Xu Jia brothers and Wang Ping Lao Gu to take down this game.

  After the game, Xiaoliu said as usual: "Alright, I didn't expect you two to be so deep in your daily life!"

  "You two seem to be using military tactics at first glance, but upon closer inspection, your skills are actually much stronger than those in the military. Where did you learn this from?" Chen Hua couldn't help but ask.

  "It's a family heirloom." The Xu brothers said in unison.

  Everyone was speechless, it seems that these two people's habit of not liking to talk is unchangeable. On the contrary, they are just like Xia Liu Zi, one is a chatterbox who annoys people and the other is a quiet and pitiful person...

  "No matter what, we've already won one game, let's keep working hard." Zhang Feng encouraged them.

  The next time, the remaining three groups also finished their matches. The winners were the Mǎo character team, the Wǔ character team and Sun Ma Zi's Chén character team.

  Sun Mazi's performance in that match was quite impressive, he didn't even use an attacking weapon, just holding a large shield and two fans to coordinate with his big Han to charge forward, relying solely on brute force to make the opponent unable to stop him.

  Everyone rested for a moment and then continued the competition. The remaining six groups started another fierce battle, and in the end, only Chen Hua's Youzi team, Sun Mazi's Chenzi team, and Qiangan Hanzi's Xuizi team were left. Among them, except for that man, everyone else on the Xuizi team was seriously injured, and he had no choice but to give up the next match and automatically take third place.

  The two teams left are exactly the enemies gathering together. At this time, Zhang Feng's arm has also recovered a lot, and Da Niu has long since healed. Only waiting for this last game to decide who is the first place in the big comparison, it also decides the winner of the bet between the two sides.

  The two teams entered the field, and Ma Cheng's side was still a giant shield that only he could wield. For ordinary people, this large shield would be difficult to lift, but for Ma Cheng, a seven-foot-tall bald man, it was nothing. Such a person on the battlefield is like a human tank, unstoppable.

  Two men with shields were distributed on both sides of Ma Cheng, although the shields were not as big as Ma Cheng's, but after all, they were just auxiliary. Relying on the charge of these three people, they defeated the two teams in front, including the second-place team in the strength competition, Wu Zi Team.

  Zhang Feng and the others did not dare to be careless, and the crowd formed a circular array, slowly approaching Ma Cheng and the others. Ma Cheng let out a loud shout, holding up his shield and charging forward, with the two burly men following closely behind him.

  "Just disperse" - with Zhang Feng's single command, the crowd here immediately formed pairs, it turned out that they had already discussed their strategy beforehand. The crowd formed groups of three or two: Liu Zi and Lao Gu; Da Niu and Wang Ping; Xu brothers etc went to deal with Ma Cheng's other men first, leaving only Zhang Feng to hold back Ma Cheng himself and his two assistants.

  Originally, the crowd below was opposed to Zhang Feng's solo restraint, after all, Zhang Feng's arm injury had not fully recovered. However, Zhang Feng insisted on doing it alone, and when the crowd's attempts to dissuade him were ineffective, they reluctantly agreed to this method.

  On this side, Zhang Feng held a knife in his right hand, with the blade pointing down, and his left hand was behind his back. He looked calmly at the three people rushing towards him. Ma Cheng saw that no one else dared to confront him head-on, leaving only Zhang Feng to deal with him alone. Was he looking down on him?

  With rage burning within him, he rushed forward with swift steps and swung his large shield with all his might.

  "Hmm..." The heavy wooden shield was brought out by Ma Cheng with a gust of wind, and it seemed to be about to slap Zhang Feng's body. Ma Cheng, who was still in a rage, didn't think of holding back either, and directly used 100% of his strength.

  The shield flashed by, and Ma Cheng only felt that he had hit something. He turned his head to look back, but there was no sign of Zhang Feng's figure. He thought to himself, "Could it be that I used too much force and sent him flying?"

  Ma Cheng was unclear what had happened, but the two people who fell not far behind him could see it clearly. Ma Cheng was hit, but it wasn't Zhang Feng, just a wooden knife. Zhang Feng himself had disappeared when Ma Cheng swung his shield. The two were about to remind Ma Cheng when they suddenly felt a numbness in the back of their heads and fainted to the ground.

  It was Zhang Feng who knocked the two men unconscious from behind, his movements so swift that no one had time to react. The disadvantageous situation of three against one turned into a stalemate of one against one.

  Ma Cheng heard two "thuds" behind him, and quickly turned around to see that the two men had been knocked unconscious. He immediately became tense. He had thought that Zhang Feng was being used by the Jiu character team to delay him, but in an instant, he had taken down two people. His angry face gradually calmed down as he realized that the person he was facing was not as weak as they seemed on the surface, and he needed to be extremely cautious to deal with the upcoming problems.

  The three hundred households on the reviewing stand also looked stunned, and none of them had expected Zhang Feng's speed to be so fast, and his hands to be so accurate.

  Wang Zhen Bai Hu couldn't help but ask, "Who is this person? His performance earlier in the morning was already astonishing. Now, his display of body technique and internal power is clearly not something that ordinary people can learn."

  His surname is Zhang and his name is Feng, from Huguang. He was wearing a Taoist robe when he enlisted last month." Liu Baihu replied with an inexplicable sparkle in his eyes.

  "Hubei... Daoist... martial arts..., isn't this person from the blessed land of Wudang Mountain?" Wang Zhen secretly speculated.

  Ni Cong was surprised by Zhang Feng's martial arts skills and wondered if he could transfer him to his own team.

  The three hundred households on this side have different thoughts, but the two in the arena have already started fighting. Zhang Feng's movements are agile and his hands are steady and accurate; Ma Cheng relies on his own bravery, with a momentum that is unstoppable no matter what wind or rain comes his way.

  If it were an ordinary strong man, Zhang Feng would have won with the method of striking acupoints and grasping tendons, but these had a negligible effect on Ma Cheng. His muscles were too thick, the force of striking acupoints was not enough, and although many nerves were struck, they had no effect. It was unclear whether it was Ma Cheng's endurance or his brain's reflex arc that was too long...

  The two men had each other's measure, and after exchanging blows for nearly thirty rounds, neither could gain the upper hand. Meanwhile, the Jiuzi team, led by Lao Gu and Da Niu, was making swift progress, having defeated all but one of the Chenzi team members at the cost of losing half their own men. This made Sun Ma's face turn red with rage, and seeing that Ma Cheng was still entangled with Zhang Feng, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Ma Cheng, what are you still hesitating for? Your teammates have all been knocked down!"

  Ma Cheng heard Sun Ma Zi's words and secretly called out in distress. His teammates' situation was not good, he could see that too, but every time he wanted to shake off Zhang Feng to provide support, he would be intercepted by him one step ahead of time. He had charged forward several times, but couldn't get rid of Zhang Feng.

  Moreover, Zhang Feng always continuously hit some positions on his body. At first, there was nothing, but now that he had been hit many times, a numb and sore feeling gradually emerged. His limbs were getting weaker and weaker, and his movements were getting slower and slower. It was already not bad to barely maintain the current situation.

  But Sun Ma Zi didn't know that, seeing Ma Cheng being ignored and furious, he scolded Ma Cheng as a bastard and intentionally released water.

  Seeing the current situation, the soldiers in charge of judging did not hesitate and directly declared that the Youzi team won. Ma Cheng heard the judge's words and could no longer hold on, directly falling to the ground panting heavily.

  Zhang Feng also stopped in his tracks, looking at the sweat on his forehead and his heaving chest, it was clear that this confrontation was not easy for him either.

  Just as he was about to sit down and take a break, Liu Zi and the others rushed over, with Da Niu and Wang Ping carrying him on their shoulders in jubilation. They had won first place in the martial arts competition, and Zhang Feng was their great hero.

  Although it is still unknown who the overall first place in the new soldier competition will go to, it does not affect the excitement of the members of the Youzi team. They won the martial skills competition, which was the result of their collective efforts and the hard training they had undergone during the day. At this time, Chen Hua didn't think much about it either. What's the big deal if he lost the bet? He could just shout three times and forget about it. The most important thing is for the soldiers to take care of each other and unite as one...
