Staring at the familiar figure lying beneath the arena, the bald man's eyes widened in disbelief.

Brother Dai actually lost?

How is this possible!

"Qin Tian wins! Haha, Qin Tian, you won!"

Xiao Yunlong excitedly jumped onto the stage and vigorously shook Qin Tian's shoulder, a flush of excitement appearing on his face.

Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao were overjoyed. No one had expected that Qin Tian, who had been suppressed the entire time, would suddenly turn the tables and knock the bearded man off the stage.

"Qin Tian is truly amazing. His swordsmanship has improved significantly compared to two days ago."

"That's only one aspect. Most importantly, he just used a Psionic Energy martial skill."

"Lightning-element swordsmanship, fast and ruthless. He was holding back on using his Psionic Energy until the very end for a surprise attack."

"..."

Below the arena, the crowd buzzed with discussion, not sparing any praise for Qin Tian.

The bearded man climbed to his feet. Several cuts marred the front of his clothes, his skin red and faintly bleeding, but to him, this didn't even count as a minor injury.

What was truly hard for him to accept was his defeat.

"Damn it, I underestimated him."

The bearded man clenched his fists. Seeing Qin Tian fight with his physical body, he had assumed he was an Ability User. He hadn't expected that at the crucial moment, this guy could unleash such astonishing speed and catch him off guard.

If this were a battlefield, he wouldn't have lost yet. In fact, he was confident he could have killed the opponent.

But being on the stage, the unspoken rule was that stepping out of the ring meant defeat, unless he shamelessly denied this unwritten rule and continued fighting.

However, doing so would mean his deeds would spread throughout the camp within a day, completely ruining his reputation.

"Brother Dai, are you alright?"

The bald man quickly ran over and asked with concern.

The bearded man's expression was grim. "I'm fine."

"Then shall we..." the bald man asked tentatively.

The bearded man threw his training sword to the ground and turned to leave.

"Brother Dai, wait for me."

The bald man hurried to catch up.

Watching their retreating backs, Xiao Yunlong stood on the stage and chuckled, shouting loudly:

"Don't let the door hit you on the way out."

"And next time you get drunk, don't cause trouble, or you might get hit from behind again!"

"Hahaha~"

A burst of laughter erupted from behind.

The bearded man paused, his fists clenching with a cracking sound. His chest heaved, and his eyes blazed with fury.

"Brother Dai."

The bald man cautiously glanced at him, afraid that Dai Jun might impulsively turn around and fight with the people behind them.

Regardless of the consequences, they were outnumbered, and fighting would surely lead to a beating.

He was here to support, not to get beaten up.

"Let's go!"

The bearded man gritted out the word through clenched teeth and quickened his pace, leaving the 319th Legion's encampment.

"Get lost."

Xiao Yunlong flipped the bird at their retreating backs before turning to Qin Tian, a smile in his eyes:

"Qin Tian, I didn't expect you to be so sneaky, hitting people from behind."

Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao walked onto the stage together, smiling.

Yeah, who would have thought that the usually aloof and silent Qin Tian would do something like that.

It had to be said, it was quite a contrast, and...

It was rather cute.

"Qin Tian, thank you."

Liu Zhaozhao looked up at Qin Tian, her voice soft but full of sincerity.

She knew very well that Qin Tian had done that to vent her anger.

What touched her most was that Qin Tian hadn't revealed anything after doing it. If these two hadn't come looking for him, she might never have known what Qin Tian had done.

"A small matter."

A smile flickered across Qin Tian's lips.

"Qin Tian, I saw your hand was injured just now. Let me get you some medicine."

Xiao Yunlong took Qin Tian's right hand and was stunned after a glance.

The hand, which had been scalded red and blistered by the fiery psionic energy, was now fair and smooth, with not a single scar visible.

Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao also noticed this and couldn't help but show surprise.

"My recovery ability is just better."

Qin Tian put his hand down and offered an explanation.

[Rapid Recovery] is a green Talent, with extraordinary effects.

Ordinary superficial wounds could heal in just a few minutes, and if the wound was shallow, it would disappear in a few breaths.

Xiao Yunlong's mouth twitched. He ran faster than a Spirit Cat, was stronger than an Orc, and had such strong recovery abilities.

What else could he be if not a super soldier?

At this moment, the onlookers gathered around, speaking one after another.

"Qin Tian, that was so cool just now."

"Yeah, that slash was too fast. I didn't even react before I saw you send the guy flying."

"That guy was actually quite strong, but our Qin Tian is even more powerful."

Their own base had been attacked, and everyone felt angry, but due to the Purple Thistle Medal and the prestige of the White Tiger Legion, they could only suppress their rage.

And when they saw Qin Tian defeat the bearded man and send him away in disgrace, they felt incredibly satisfied.

"Haha, thank you all for supporting us."

Xiao Yunlong cupped his hands and laughed heartily. If there weren't so many people around, those two guys wouldn't have left so easily.

"What thanks? We're all in the same unit. We can't let outsiders come and act so brazenly here."

"Exactly. If they dare to come again, be sure to contact us."

Everyone expressed their stance.

White Tiger Legion Base

"Dai Laohu, didn't you go to settle the score?"

The muscular man glanced at the bearded man's ashen face and raised an eyebrow. "What, you got beaten back?"

The bearded man paused in his steps and stared at him, speechless.

"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Dai, don't look at me like that. I was wrong."

The man raised his hands in surrender. Everyone knew Dai Laohu's fiery temper. This guy was a peerless warrior who, even with his stomach stabbed open, would stuff his intestines back in and continue fighting Orcs.

If he angered Dai Laohu, this guy would definitely beat him up, even if it meant being confined.

"Scram."

The bearded man let out a cold snort.

The man shrunk his neck and quickly walked away.

"Brother Dai, don't be angry. You were just caught off guard. In a real battle, the entire squad of theirs wouldn't be enough for you to kill," the bald man comforted him.

"I lost, I lost. I'm not someone who can't handle losing."

The bearded man gritted his teeth, saying this, but he still couldn't swallow his pride.

First, he was ambushed, and then after going to seek revenge, he was beaten home.

Since enlisting, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"Brother Dai, if it's really necessary, I can find someone to keep an eye on that kid and beat him up severely when he's alone," the bald man suggested.

The bearded man glanced at him and snorted:

"I won't do such underhanded things. If we're going to fight, we'll fight openly."

Hearing this, the bald man chuckled sheepishly.

You're the boss, you call the shots.

Beep beep beep~~

Just then, the bearded man's smart watch beeped a few times.

He opened it and a sinister grin immediately appeared on his lips.

"This mission is coming at the perfect time~"

"Brother Dai, what mission?" the bald man leaned in.

The bearded man said, "A brother company went missing on their way back to Scorching Sun Valley. The military suspects those Snake People from the south are responsible. Now they want us to find clues and take down two Snake People strongholds."

"Notify the brothers, prepare to depart. Tonight, I'm having snake soup."

"Yes!"
