BXBX NOVEL Chapter 224 - Provoked.
Yang Dao chatted with Laohu Bai for a few more minutes, then he left the cabin. The girl had some work to do before she could leave. The cubs and Sushi stayed inside the cabin. Sushi wanted to follow Yang Dao, but the boy asked her to watch over the cubs. He had not yet come up with a name for them. (neither have the author. Please ask the readers to suggest some names in the comment section.)
The boy walked out of the cabin and he met a familiar face, chatting with Kaya. This person was the ever-smiling Victor. The man was not smiling at this moment, though. Yang Dao walked over and saluted.
"Senior Victor."
Victor was a wind Elementalist and so he had caught Yang Dao's arrival. He turned to face him and returned the salute. He said, "Dao, long time no see."
The boy smiled and asked, "What made you forget to smile senior?" he was very curious to find out what can make Victor gloomy.
Victor smiled wryly and said, "We were having a sparring session between the few teams but suddenly a special recruit from Onyx city took a cheap shot and injured Lin. her injury is light even so, it dampened the mood. To think that the commanders from team wolf actually supported such a move."
Yang Dao nodded and asked, "Is the sparring still going on?"
Victor nodded and said, "Yes, Talen is holding the fort. I came to call over Kaya. Would you like to join us as well?"
Yang Dao nodded and turned back to peek inside the cabin and said, "Baibai, can I take away Senior Kaya? We are going to have fun."
Laohu Bai raised her head and smiled. She said, "Okay, you can take her with you. But Dao, be easy on the ignorant." Her words made Yang Dao spit out his tongue and close the door. She was confident in his ability as the boy had stepped into the Elemental priest level. Old man Tiberius was not his opponent, let alone these normal small fries.
Yang Dao followed Kaya and Victor. On the way, he was told that every city will have one special recruit selected from the college and they would come over to train on the weekends. Today was the month-end, so the neighboring cities had taken their special recruits to assess for improvement. Otherwise, they will be trained within the city limits by the respective scouting teams.
Yang Dao asked, "Hey, why was I not trained?"
Kaya chuckled and said, "Because, you had the level of a regular special forces soldier even when you were a cadet."
Yang Dao pursed his lips and said, "Was I so good? I never felt so."
Victor said, "That is also the reason you were sent on a task directly."
This made little sense to Yang Dao but actually, the thing was that the boy was already a second-level Elementalist when he was in the training camp. The commanders were all level two and rarely level three. So how could they train him, who was almost leaving them in the dust? if they found out that the boy behind them is now level four will they not bang their heads on tofu and suicide?
...
The three people left the office building and came to an adjacent construct. Victor introduced this building as the exercise zone. They had a shooting range, a gym room, a comprehensive test hall, similar to the one Yang Dao used back in Dao Courtyard. The three people came to the room that looked like a sparring hall.
It was empty except for a few matted zones. At this moment a few people were standing in the hall, all of them had their eyes fixed on the centre most mat. Yang Dao followed their gaze and found Talen fighting with a guy with a dense beard. This man wore a similar military uniform, but he had a wolf badge on the collar.
Yang Dao gazed for a few seconds and then looked around in the crowd. He found Lin standing not far away. At this moment she was standing on one leg. Yang Dao looked carefully and found that Lin had her shoe taken off. Her foot was exposed to the air and it was swollen. He walked over to her with Kaya and Victor.
Only Yang Dao was not dressed in the military uniform. His arrival had attracted a lot of gazes, but people focused on the match on the mat. The boy came up to Lin and crisply saluted her, "Long Time no see. Senior Lin."
The ice beauty of the special forces revealed a blooming smile as she said, "Long time no see indeed, Dao. What wind blew you here, today?"
Yang Dao chatted with the ice beauty. This was enough to draw aggro from the minions in the hall. There were other ladies, but Lin was the prettiest. Second to her was Kaya. Yang Dao was a beaut himself. the women also pointed their envy and jealousy at Lin and Kaya.
However, the other parties were indifferent to this. Talen finished the match with a choke slam and walked off the mat. He was about to come over to the team but a voice sounded. "Instructor Talen, would you like to teach me a few moves as well?"
Victor sighed and said, "This kid was the one who injured Lin."
Yang Dao did not even look at the opponent and gazing at Lin's furrowed brows and wry smile he said, "How about we spar. If you can win me, you can come up with one condition, unconditionally."
His voice was cold, and it attracted the attention of the target successfully. The other side was a male, twenty years old. He saw the pretty boy in front of him and scoffed. "Are you sure about that? I might take over your whole family's wealth."
A few people chuckled in the hall. Some jealous men did not hold back from spewing their routine nonsense and petty comments.
"Yeah, kid. be mindful of your words."
"This is not your father's office so that you can slap others with money. we are a special force"
...
Yang Dao turned over to the special recruit of the wolf team and said, "My name is Feng Yang Dao. I always keep my word. If you won, you can have all my wealth. If I won, you will apologize to my senior Lin and admit your fault. Deal?"
The whole hall was shocked by his words. Lin faintly blushed when she heard the words, My Senior Lin. She said, 'I vouch for the credibility of his words."
Her sentence was seconded by Kaya, Victor, and Talen. they knew his identity of course. The wolf team's special recruit smiled.
He said, "Very well. I do not want the money. But I will date Instructor Lin for a day. Deal?"
Before Yang Dao could refute. Lin actually said, "Deal. I want to see what your true skills are."
