A New Teacher Appears

Inside the Dawn No. 3 transport plane,

"Old Du, if you want me to be their combat instructor, then you'd better hire a few more medics for them. Otherwise... if they suffer serious injuries, even lose arms or legs... I won't be responsible. Combat is no child's play, and I won't hold back..."

Jiang Ming sat inside the transport plane and suddenly spoke to Du Kao, wanting to give him fair warning and have him prepare himself in advance.

After all, during the later Tianhe Battle, Ge Xiaolun had been beaten senseless and had actually wanted to run away. Later, because of Qiang Wei, he even abandoned the fight and wallowed in despair for two whole years. It was simply humiliating to watch.

It seemed that from beginning to end, everything had been for Qiang Wei. He had joined the Super Soldier Company for Qiang Wei, and when the battle was at its fiercest, he had left because of Qiang Wei as well. A man without conviction did not deserve to become a warrior who protected China, did not deserve the admiration of its countless people, and was even less worthy of being called the "Power of the Galaxy," the future chief god who would protect the galaxy.

Since they possessed power ordinary people did not have, had chosen to join the Super Soldier Company, and had stepped onto the path of resisting invasion, there was no turning back. There was only battle after battle. Only the dead would see the end of the fighting, until the enemy trembled at the very mention of them and stopped in their tracks at the sight of Earth.

Hearing this, Du Kao looked at Jiang Ming's stern expression and knew he was not joking. He seemed to understand something. As a war maniac from the De Nuo Star System, after its destruction, he had brought De Nuo's surviving spark of civilization to Earth and remained there for over a thousand years. He knew that outstanding warriors and protectors of civilizations all grew through trials of blood and fire.

"Just stop above the Super God Academy. I'll go down directly. Prepare their current files and data for me... You should know my students won't have it easy..."

Jiang Ming spoke to Du Kao, then turned and walked to the transport plane's hatch, preparing to parachute down and make an example of himself.

At that moment, on the sports field beside the Super God Academy library.

After finishing a day of training, Ge Xiaolun and the others stood on the field while Leina conducted an inspection, wanting to see the results of their training.

"Xiao Lun, Liu Chuang... you two exchange a few moves. Let's see what you've learned after training for so long," Leina said to Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang, who had stepped forward. They had trained for some time already, so this was a good chance to see how effective it had been.

"You bastard... thanks for helping me last time."

Liu Chuang hesitated for a long time, unsure how to begin, before slapping Ge Xiaolun.

"You hit me after I helped you..." Ge Xiaolun said, hesitantly throwing a punch at Liu Chuang.

Their sparring looked like a brawl between street punks, crude and unbearable to watch. It could hardly be called "combat." Qi Lin, Leina, and the others watching were utterly speechless, while the spectacle kept drawing laughs.

Just then, a voice descended from the sky...

"Is this how you fight?... Or are you planning to face aliens on the battlefield like this... What excellent instruction indeed..."

There seemed to be mockery in that voice, dissatisfaction as well, and even anger...

Of course, the speaker was Jiang Ming, whom Du Kao had invited to serve as combat instructor. Jiang Ming had initially thought that with Leina, A Jie, and the others around, things could not possibly be too bad. But after seeing this scene from the air, Jiang Ming realized he had been far too optimistic. Though Leina was the Sun Goddess and possessed formidable strength, she was too young and had been too well protected by Pan Zhen. What did she know about training, much less developing these people's Super Genes?

Hearing those words, everyone looked up. They saw a figure walking out from the clouds, as though shrinking the earth with every step. From thousands of meters in the air, he seemed to arrive in an instant. From afar, it looked like teleportation, leaving Qi Lin, Leina, and the others staring in stunned amazement.

"Damn, an immortal has descended..."

"Is that teleportation? Oh my god..."

"Who are you? How dare you say that this goddess teaches poorly? You've got quite the nerve!"

"...Jiang... Ming...?"

"Qi Lin, you know him??"

After Jiang Ming landed, Ge Xiaolun was still dumbfounded. The thick-skinned Zhao Xin reacted instantly, convinced that an immortal had descended. Ge Xiaolun was still shocked by Jiang Ming's speed, while Leina was angered by his final remark about her "poor instruction." Qi Lin, who knew Jiang Ming well, was the first to recognize him.

Jiang Ming had not seen Qi Lin for a long time. It was not quite as though a day apart felt like three autumns, but his longing was plain to see. Seeing the person most familiar to him—his lover—filled him with emotion. After all, Qi Lin was the one who had helped him find a sense of belonging in this world!

At the sight of Qi Lin, Jiang Ming's longing surged into his heart. He activated his leg technique and took a step, instantly arriving before her. As if possessed, he became extraordinarily bold and actually reached out to touch Qi Lin's cheek. With a sigh, he said, "Qi Lin, you seem to have lost weight. But you're even more beautiful than before in Black Armor—so spirited and heroic!"

"Fuck, the goddess got touched..."

"...Damn..."

"My goddess..."

Qi Lin was greatly surprised by Jiang Ming's actions. Strangely, she did not resist, merely feeling somewhat startled and a little shy. A blush involuntarily rose on her face. Facing everyone's stares, she was embarrassed and even more taken aback by Jiang Ming's behavior, but she still asked, "Jiang Ming, why are you here?... And how did you come down from the sky... Do you have a Super Gene too?"

Jiang Ming was not surprised by Qi Lin's flood of questions. Instead, he said gently:

"I'll tell you later. Business first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly appeared beside Leina again and addressed the members of the Super Soldier Company:

"My name is Jiang Ming, the Super Soldier Company's new teacher... You could call me a combat instructor. From now on, I will temper you into qualified warriors, teach you how to fight, rather than have you brawl like two thugs just now; teach you how to develop your potential and genes, how to face an alien invasion, and how to stay alive—how to live well..."

After introducing himself, Jiang Ming suddenly activated the Wind God Leg Force in his legs. Starting beneath his feet, bottomless cracks instantly spread across the ground, and the earth began to fracture. A surge of Wind God Leg Force swept across the field, while their Black Armor rang continuously with "Bang... bang... bang..." The violent gale forced everyone back again and again, nearly knocking them to the ground. And this was only because Jiang Ming had held back. Otherwise, with the Super Soldier Company's current bodies not even at the level of divine bodies, they would likely have been smashed to pieces. The onlookers turned pale in shock, retreating continuously as they swallowed hard.

"Now, if anyone has questions, you only have one chance... A friendly reminder: I will not hold back. Think carefully before you speak."

Jiang Ming glanced at Leina again, then swept his gaze over everyone, his words icy cold, as if to say that he had not been joking just now—and the cracks beneath his feet were proof enough.
