I Want to Fight Ten

"This is the Special Operations Battalion under my command, six hundred and seventy-eight men. I'll pick out a few Espers and let that kid choose some to compete against."

"Your Special Operations Battalion is full of Espers?"

Looking at the neatly aligned soldiers before him, Zhang Chengyan was a little surprised. Were these six hundred-plus people all Espers?

"Of course not, only a few dozen. Even if I had that many Espers, I wouldn't have them training in the same battalion."

Having Espers clustered together wasn't a good thing either. If none of them were willing to submit to the others, fighting would be a headache.

"Battalion Commander Zhao, pick out ten good men. I want to give them special training, and you're included."

Wang Xinghan told the battalion commander to select people. The battalion commander was also an Esper, and the most powerful one at that. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep those few dozen Espers under control.

"Yes!"

Zhao Run raised his hand in a salute, then turned to select the personnel for special training.

Soon, he selected nine Espers. The ten of them stood at the front, and Zhao Run turned around. "Report! All personnel are present, awaiting the General's instructions!"

"Good, good. I've asked someone to find you a master to give you special training! We can lose the battle but not the spirit. You're my soldiers, Wang Xinghan's soldiers. Don't fight like a bunch of girls!"

Wang Xinghan lectured in front of the Special Operations Battalion. After lecturing for a while, he beckoned to the side.

"Go ahead, be careful. Those guys don't know how to hold back." Zhang Chengyan told Lu Chengchuan to go over.

Lu Chengchuan nodded and walked expressionlessly to Wang Xinghan's side. A battalion of several hundred soldiers all turned their attention over, everyone was looking at him. He ignored these hundreds of soldiers and walked straight to Wang Xinghan's side.

"He's the master I found. Whoever can beat him, I'll give them a meritorious service." Wang Xinghan glanced at him, not giving him a good look, then turned back to cheer on his soldiers.

The general was only halfway through his words when all the soldiers in front widened their eyes, especially the ten who had been selected.

A master brought in from the outside? How high-level was he?

The soldiers were eager to try, they wanted to know how powerful this master was.

"Pick one."

After encouraging his subordinates, Wang Xinghan told him to pick an opponent, pick one out of the ten, and if he won, he could continue to choose.

Lu Chengchuan didn't know any of this, he was picking an opponent, but he felt that it didn't matter who he chose.

"Do I only have to fight one, or do I have to fight all ten?" While hesitating about who to choose, Lu Chengchuan suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Wang Xinghan.

"Otherwise what? My battalion has more than six hundred people, and I only picked out ten. You have to fight at least five."

Wang Xinghan said righteously, acting as if he really wanted someone to spar with.

"Then there's no need to choose, let's have all ten of them come at me together."

If he had to fight ten, what was there to choose? He might as well have them all come at once, and he'd take care of them all in one go.

"Kid! What did you say! Are you looking down on the soldiers under my command?" The arrogant words made Wang Xinghan's Blood Essence rush to his brain, he didn't expect this guy to dare say that.

It wasn't just him who was angry, none of the soldiers who heard these words weren't angry. Letting all ten of them come at him together, was he treating them like pushovers?

Anyone would be angry if someone looked down on their strength.

The soldiers in front stared straight at him. If their gazes could turn into weapons, there wouldn't be a single spot on Lu Chengchuan that would remain intact.

Wang Xinghan and his soldiers were very angry, and the people from the Investigation Bureau were also shocked by Lu Chengchuan's words. Usually, this person didn't seem flamboyant, but now he was talking more wildly than anyone else.

One against ten, could he really do it?

Zhang Chengyan was very doubtful, but Zhou Yaning and the others, who were slightly familiar with Lu Chengchuan, believed that he had the strength. Back then, they were also a dozen Espers besieging the Ironclad Zombie, and if Lu Chengchuan hadn't arrived, they would have died there.

Lu Chengchuan realized that his words were indeed hateful, but he didn't regret it.

The words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to regret them. Lu Chengchuan nodded resolutely. "Just ten, you don't need to hold back, it's fine if you beat me into the hospital."

"Alright, you little punk have guts!" Wang Xinghan nodded while exhaling, then turned to give the order. "Don't show any mercy, beat him, I'll reimburse his medical expenses if he really ends up in the hospital!"

Since Lu Chengchuan dared to say that, he didn't care anymore and directly told people to strike hard.

Everyone didn't waste any words, clearing a space for people to fight. The truth would be revealed in action, anyone could say harsh words, but it still depended on whether the person who talked big had the strength.

Zhao Run raised his hand and made a combat gesture. When he lowered his arm, the ten people split into three small teams, quickly surrounding Lu Chengchuan in the middle.

The three teams slowly surrounded him, Lu Chengchuan looked around, finally focusing on the four people in front.

The six people on the left and right slowly approached. Zhao Run thought it was a one-on-one competition, and the people he chose were all good at one-on-one fights. They all had combat abilities, mostly body enhancement-type Espers.

Before the six people could get close, an invisible force enveloped him.

Lu Chengchuan was lifted up by the invisible force, his feet a few inches off the ground. He looked up and saw a soldier in front of him raising his hand and aiming at him. He was the one controlling this invisible force.

His body was pulled into the air, but Lu Chengchuan didn't panic at all. A surging Inner Energy burst out of his body. The two energies collided, and his Inner Energy was stronger, instantly breaking through the invisible force that was imprisoning him, and his feet instantly landed on the ground.

The soldier whose imprisonment ability was broken had a shocked expression. Before he could continue to use his Esper ability, Lu Chengchuan raised his hands and slapped towards the left and right sides at the same time.

Lu Chengchuan's clothes moved without wind, and the gushing Inner Energy hit the six people, instantly sending five of them flying.

The remaining person took a few steps back to barely stabilize their body, but before they could act, Lu Chengchuan rushed up and punched them in the abdomen.

The soldier didn't even scream before he was punched to the ground, convulsing.

Lu Chengchuan used a little bit of strength, punching the person into a state of losing combat ability. Just as he knocked the person down, Zhao Run rushed in front of him with two people. Zhao Run's body flashed with light, looking extremely bright.

This was his Esper ability. The light on his body could protect him from harm and enhance his physical fitness at the same time. He could also condense the light into weapons, and light weapons could easily cut through metal armor.

His Esper had both offense and defense, and Zhao Run had relied on it to become invincible within the Special Operations Battalion.

Light condensed in his hand into a pair of gloves. They were just trying to determine who was better, not to kill anyone. Zhao Run aimed at Lu Chengchuan's chest, intending to knock him down with a single punch as well.

Lu Chengchuan turned, and the fist landed on his chest with a 'thud' sound. He stood still, and Zhao Run, who had intended to knock him down with one punch, realized something was wrong, but he was too slow to react.

Before he could retreat, Lu Chengchuan punched him. He used thirty percent of his strength in this punch, and Zhao Run was sent flying. The light protecting him shattered and dissipated, and he crashed heavily to the ground.

After dealing with the opponent in front of him, Lu Chengchuan swung his hands to both sides.

Originally, there were two other people cooperating with Zhao Run, but they were a step too slow. Plus, Lu Chengchuan was too fast. Just as they were about to surround him, they were knocked to the ground by Lu Chengchuan's punch.

The two people on the ground clutched their stomachs, their faces pale and unrecognizable.

The whole process took only five or six seconds. After taking care of the four people, the four who had been knocked away by his Inner Energy had just gotten up from the ground. Before they could understand what was happening, Lu Chengchuan strode up to them.
