Zhang Lei looked at the eye-catching man, a heavy feeling building in his chest.
However, soon he would let him see just how formidable their island troops were.
Qian Chunjiang had also heard some rumors about Zhou Yunting’s achievements, but he did not believe they were true.
At this moment, in the eyes of both Zhang Lei and Qian Chunjiang, Zhou Yunting was nothing more than someone who had been parachuted in through connections.
Whether he truly had the ability was unknown, but the fact that he had taken the deputy regimental position that originally belonged to Qian Chunjiang was undeniable.
Qian Chunjiang had always admired Zhang Lei and had constantly felt it was unfair for him.
That was why today’s scene had happened.
It was called cooperation on the surface, but in reality, it was meant to embarrass him on stage.
Liu Zhixia quietly watched the man calmly walk onto the stage.
Steady as a mountain!
She had never once doubted Zhou Yunting’s strength.
The two men already standing on the stage had calm and steady auras.
But compared to Zhou Yunting, they were still far from his level.
The three men stood shoulder to shoulder, and the enthusiasm below the stage surged.
Admiring the strong was something no one could avoid.
Soon, the sparring match on stage began to change in nature.
After several exchanges of punches and kicks, Zhang Lei and Qian Chunjiang’s expressions subtly changed.
Zhang Lei rubbed his knee joint that had just been kicked, while Qian Chunjiang held his abdomen with one hand.
In contrast, Zhou Yunting across from them remained completely unmoved.
He had not even used his full strength.
The two men exchanged glances, and in the next moment, they attacked from both sides.
Qian Chunjiang felt that if the two of them teamed up and still lost, it would be humiliating.
So while Zhang Lei and Zhou Yunting were fighting intensely, he attempted to launch a surprise attack.
Zhou Yunting was simply too strong.
If they did not use every bit of their strength, they probably would not be able to win.
However, reality was far different from what they imagined.
It seemed as if Zhou Yunting had eyes on the back of his head.
No matter how Qian Chunjiang tried to find an opening, he could not get close.
The battle became deadlocked for a while.
Seeing that his kick was about to land on Zhou Yunting’s chest, Zhang Lei’s eyes lit up.
Being suppressed just now had left him extremely frustrated.
But before his attack could land, Qian Chunjiang behind him had already been guided directly into the path of his kick by Zhou Yunting’s dodge.
He could not withdraw his strength in time.
Qian Chunjiang was kicked backward three steps.
Knowing he was no match, he could only leave the stage in defeat.
He suspected that Zhou Yunting was deliberately taking revenge for his attempted surprise attack earlier.
But he had no evidence.
Zhang Lei looked at the man opposite him whose clothes were not even slightly disordered.
For the first time, he felt powerless.
Only at this moment did he realize that what the leaders had told him before was not exaggerated at all.
Zhou Yunting was truly powerful.
The soldiers below were filled with admiration, and the invisible barrier between them and Zhou Yunting seemed to disappear considerably.
Zhou Yunting looked at the little woman below the stage and saw her excited, cheerful expression.
His gaze softened.
Next came the dance performance prepared by the female soldiers.
Liu Zhixia watched happily and reached her hand to the side.
Unfortunately, she forgot that she did not have any sunflower seeds with her!
Her expression became awkward for a moment.
But then the attention had already turned toward her.
After the female soldiers finished their performance, some military wives began teasing her, asking Liu Zhixia to prepare a program for everyone.
The female soldiers also started speaking up.
Gong Xinyue, Tian Yunyun’s close friend, ignored Tian Yunyun’s attempts to stop her and directly challenged Liu Zhixia.
“I think someone as impressive as Regiment Commander Zhou must have an equally outstanding wife.”
She seemed afraid that Liu Zhixia would refuse, so she immediately blocked her escape route.
“We have heard rumors for a long time that his wife is no less capable than female soldiers…”
Tian Yunyun secretly tugged at Gong Xinyue’s sleeve, signaling her to stop.
Liu Zhixia was not someone simple.
Even she might not be her opponent.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Gong Xinyue was not only standing up for her friend.
She had also been blinded by jealousy.
The sight of Zhou Yunting’s tall and heroic figure on stage just now kept replaying in her mind.
Liu Zhixia stood up leisurely.
“Don’t cry if you lose.”
The entire audience erupted.
For some reason, the moment Liu Zhixia stepped onto the stage—
her presence completely overwhelmed Gong Xinyue, who had been trained in the military.
Liu Zhixia did not even spare Gong Xinyue a glance.
Instead, she helplessly looked toward the military wives below and said:
“Would all the sisters-in-law be willing to treat my sparring match with Comrade Gong Xinyue as a performance?”
Zhou Yunting looked at the little woman on stage.
Her expression seemed helpless.
Her voice carried a hint of childish charm, as if refusing her would break her heart.
It made people unable to say no.
Of course, that was only if one ignored the cunning sparkle in her eyes.
Gong Xinyue looked down on women like Liu Zhixia who relied on their appearance to win favor.
Look at how many people below were staring at her.
She herself had been completely ignored.
And that cold, indifferent man…
Although he had not made any obvious move, the warmth and affection in his eyes toward Liu Zhixia were impossible for Gong Xinyue to overlook.
Zhou Yunting sat upright in the front row.
His eyes contained nothing except that shining little woman on stage.
The envy and praise from those around him were automatically filtered out.
If talking about Gong Xinyue, she was indeed one of the most beautiful women in the army, known as a military flower.
But she still could not compare.
The Liu Zhixia standing on stage was like a dazzling blooming rose, her aura completely unleashed.
Her beauty was passionate and dazzling.
Compared to her, Gong Xinyue seemed somewhat dull.
The face was still the same face.
But when placed side by side, something was clearly missing.
Tian Yunyun was still worried about her friend.
If not for her, Gong Xinyue would never have gone onto the stage.
The contrast between the two was obvious.
Even before the match began, the winner seemed already decided.
One side was brilliant and radiant.
The other was like a dim moon hidden in darkness.
Unable to bear being ignored, Gong Xinyue suddenly launched a fierce counterattack.
Her delicate fist shot directly toward Liu Zhixia’s beautiful face.
She wanted to see whether that face would still be so attractive after swelling up.
Liu Zhixia was also getting angry now.
Everyone said that when fighting, one should not hit someone’s face.
She originally had no intention of taking things seriously.
But why did this person insist on seeking humiliation?
Her inner strength surged.
Using her opponent’s own force against her, Liu Zhixia redirected the punch.
The force of Gong Xinyue’s own attack landed precisely on her porcelain-white cheek.
A visible bruise appeared.
The beauty was gone.
Gong Xinyue’s pupils trembled violently.
Liu Zhixia had moved too quickly.
Before she could react, she had already been hit.
Several officers below seemed to have witnessed that moment.
The three of them excitedly stood up.
Their appreciation for talent instantly surged.
At this moment, everyone seemed to understand Gong Xinyue’s confusion.
She could not defeat Liu Zhixia.
Although no one knew exactly how strong that girl’s power was, just her speed alone—
looking throughout the military, there were very few people who could rival her.
She was absolutely a soldier’s material.
It was truly a waste for her to only be a military wife.
With just that one move, countless people below secretly lamented that such talent had been buried.
Gong Xinyue could not believe she had been beaten so badly.
Yet the looks from the audience toward Liu Zhixia were not mocking or contemptuous.
Instead, they were full of regret.
They felt it was a pity.
Gong Xinyue thought perhaps Liu Zhixia had only succeeded by coincidence.
This time, she would definitely defeat her with one strike.
She would wash away her humiliation.
Seeing several officers standing up, Liu Zhixia realized she had attracted too much attention.
She still needed to hold back a little.
Therefore, during the following exchanges, everyone saw the two women going back and forth as if evenly matched.
Their bodies touched briefly before separating.
But how could those with sharp eyes fail to see the truth?
Liu Zhixia was deliberately hiding her strength.
Even Tian Yunyun noticed.
Yet Gong Xinyue, the person involved, was still arrogantly shouting.
