In an open space in the Logistics Camp.

Gu Han came here alone and stood facing the five members of Wang Shan's squad.

Under the gaze of hundreds, even thousands of spectators, the five men could clearly feel their hearts pounding. They were terribly nervous.

Though Gu Han was a transmigrator, this was his first time facing such a grand spectacle.

But he didn't feel particularly nervous. If anything, he was a little excited!

Qian Fu came to the center of the field, swept his gaze over both sides, and said in a deep voice,

"This is just a spar between comrades. Stop once someone has the upper hand. No ruthless attacks."

Wang Shan grinned viciously and rubbed his wrist.

"Don't worry, Officer. I'll leave him breathing."

Gu Han merely smiled, though a fierce glint shone in his eyes.

"I hope you'll still be smiling later."

Qian Fu felt another headache coming on and couldn't help pressing a hand to his forehead.

In the army, even the Logistics Soldiers were hot-blooded. One wrong word, and they'd settle things with their fists.

Though he'd seen plenty of incidents like this, they still gave him a headache.

Still, with his strength, he could step in before either side went too far, even if the fight got heated.

"Since both sides are ready, the match begins now."

As soon as Qian Fu finished speaking, Wang Shan charged forward with a solid wooden staff in hand, grinning viciously.

His confidence in taking down Gu Han came not only from having five men against one, but also from being allowed to use weapons!

Anyone who had been on a battlefield knew that unless the gap in strength was overwhelming,

even a small difference in cultivation could be overcome with a long weapon. It could turn the tide of battle!

A squad using long weapons together could even crush a Martial Apprentice of a higher tier with ease!

That was why Wang Shan couldn't be bothered to test the waters. He charged in first.

The others followed close behind, ready to swarm Gu Han when the opportunity arose.

Someone in the crowd shook his head. Gu Han still hadn't moved. He really had no idea how close he was to death.

Watching Wang Shan charge at him with killing intent, Gu Han only sneered and nudged the long staff with his toe.

He was used to hunting beasts in the mountains with a battle saber.

But in a situation like this, a long weapon obviously gave him the greater advantage.

Wang Shan was almost upon Gu Han, yet Gu Han still made no move to counterattack. Wang Shan couldn't help sneering.

Did this guy think he was some peerless genius?

He dared to be this careless? He was asking to die!

Gu Chen and the others clenched their fists, their eyes filled with worry.

If Gu Han was truly in danger, they'd save him even if it meant being condemned for breaking the rules!

Gu Han's body flashed aside. Only when the force of Wang Shan's charge was nearly upon him did he turn to evade the attack with ease. Then he swept his staff across.

Wang Shan's expression changed. He hadn't expected Gu Han to be so fast.

Wang Shan had put his full strength into that strike. Once it missed, he was already too late to dodge.

Gu Han's staff slammed squarely into Wang Shan's knee!

Crack!

The intense pain shattered Wang Shan's knee in an instant, and he let out a bloodcurdling howl!

The sound of cracking bone mixed with his howl made everyone watching break out in goosebumps.

With a thunderous crash, Wang Shan hit the ground. The momentum of his charge sent him skidding more than ten meters!

The other members of his squad were stunned. They stopped dead in their tracks.

Gu Han sneered. If these men wanted to frame him, they couldn't blame him for holding nothing back!

Gu Han moved with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he was beside one of them, thrusting his staff forward!

Not a sweep. A thrust!

Even if a sweep hit someone in the chest, it would only injure them.

After an afternoon of hunting, along with Li Xuan's "gift,"

Gu Han's strength was already comparable to that of a Second-tier Martial Apprentice, but he still couldn't kill a First-tier Martial Apprentice with a single blow.

A thrust was different.

If the other person couldn't block it, the blow might even skewer him clean through!

The man saw Gu Han thrusting at him without the slightest restraint, and his expression changed dramatically.

But he had no time to dodge. His eyes hardened.

Better his friend die than him!

He grabbed the teammate beside him and shoved him in front.

The teammate's face twisted in alarm. "You motherfucker!"

In his panic, he could only raise his staff and use his upper arm to shield his vital organs.

Gu Han's staff struck the man's shoulder and sent him flying.

If the bone in his upper arm hadn't happened to block the thrust, he might not have survived.

"Holy crap, that guy's shameless!"

"Five of them can't even beat one man, and when things get dangerous, he drags a teammate over to take the hit for him. What a fucking disgrace!"

"I'd like to see who'll agree to squad up with that guy after this."

After using his teammate to block Gu Han's attack, the man fled in terror, his legs nearly giving out.

Hearing the jeers around him, his face burned with shame, and he didn't dare say a word.

But if he could do it all over again, he'd make the same choice.

What was face worth?

His life mattered more.

Qian Fu glared at the fleeing man, his face livid.

Even for a Logistics Soldier, fleeing without a fight was disgraceful!

And worse, he'd made a comrade take the hit for him, then run away!

If a War Soldier did something like that, he'd face punishment under military law!

Before long, the other two were also writhing on the ground, howling in pain.

From beginning to end, Wang Shan's squad of five hadn't posed the slightest threat to Gu Han.

Holding the staff in his right hand, Gu Han coldly scanned the people who had slandered him earlier.

"Anyone else want to come up and try?"

Several people in the crowd met Gu Han's gaze. Their faces filled with fear, they instinctively stepped backward.

Gu Han sneered. They were nothing but a pack of cowards.

They'd counted on strength in numbers, trying to smear him with rumors and snatch some benefits for themselves.

But when it came to a real fight, every one of them was a coward!

Gu Han turned to Qian Fu.

"Officer, this should clear my name, right?"

"If even a bunch of trash like them can hunt Wolf Beasts, then of course I can hunt them too. Why would I waste time in the mountains stealing them one by one?"

"My time would be far better spent hunting Wolf Beasts myself."

Qian Fu first had someone help the injured Logistics Soldiers away for treatment, then nodded in agreement with Gu Han.

"I hereby announce that Gu Han is first in this Logistics Soldier examination!"

"Officer, wait a moment!"

A voice rose from the crowd, questioning him once more.

"I don't think Gu Han deserves to be named the top Logistics Soldier!"

Gu Han turned his angry gaze toward the speaker.

Even a clay Buddha had a temper. They'd caused trouble for him again and again. Did they really think he wouldn't get angry?
