Chapter 426: Chapter 426 Provocation

After being chastised by the middle-aged man, Chen Lei awkwardly scratched his head, the arrogance on his face completely gone, replaced instead by a hint of caution, "Captain, I was wrong. Isn’t it just that I felt indignant? You lead us to victorious achievements, yet we’re supposed to assist some unknown kid. I..."

"What do you mean ’I’!" the man coldly said, "The decision from above has its considerations. Even if it’s a deputy role, it’s the chief’s trust in me! If you can’t accept it and have complaints, you can leave the Dragon Valor Squad right now!"

Chen Lei’s face violently changed, "No, no, sir, I really made a mistake!"

"If you know you were wrong, then watch your mouth from now on!" the man said sternly.

What they didn’t know was that the scene had already been recorded by a hidden camera and was presented before the military leadership.

"Not bad, Wang Zhong has a stable and grand mindset, truly fit for great responsibilities!" a Major General remarked, nodding his head.

"Indeed, Wang Zhong’s ability is remarkable, and what’s more precious is his strategic vision and his stable mindset. It’s time to assign him some significant duties!" another General nodded in agreement.

At this time, about a dozen men and women arrived at the base. After they came, the two groups did not greet each other but nodded at each other instead, then the people from Dragon Group silently took their seats.

"So arrogant!" Chen Lei muttered under his breath, "Hope they aren’t just posing without any real skills."

Wang Zhong said nothing, instead fixing his gaze on a young man in the middle of the group, "Such a formidable presence. Could he be the new team leader?"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Zhong took the initiative to step forward, "Hello, I’m the captain of the special forces squad, Wang Zhong, and also the new deputy captain of Dragon Valor Squad!"

The young man glanced at Wang Zhong and said in a deep voice, "Hello, I am Ye Chen... a former member of the Dragon Valor Squad!"

"What?" Wang Zhong was shocked. Wasn’t the Dragon Valor Squad completely annihilated?

Seeing the sadness in Ye Chen’s eyes, Wang Zhong did not inquire further but asked, "Are you the new captain of Dragon Valor Squad?"

Ye Chen shook his head, "No, I’m also a deputy captain."

Seeing that Ye Chen had no desire to converse, Wang Zhong exchanged a few words and then returned.

"As expected, a bunch of arrogant folks!" Seeing that Wang Zhong was unsuccessful, the special forces squad members could not help but show their anger.

At that moment, another young special forces member stepped forward, "Are you all experts from Dragon Group? It’s said that Dragon Group has experts like clouds. I am Lin Wei, a new member of Dragon Valor Squad. Any expert from Dragon Group care to spar a bit?"

Wang Zhong frowned but did not stop him. Although the opponents were from Dragon Group, Wang Zhong believed his own men were not pushovers! Moreover, to become a team in the future, understanding each other’s strengths is necessary!

Even if Lin Wei didn’t make a move, Wang Zhong still wanted to challenge the experts from Dragon Group. The military had always revered the strong, cultivating warriors, not cowards or weaklings.

The people from Dragon Group just looked at Lin Wei indifferently, and no one made a move.

Lin Wei scanned the group, a cold smile on his face, "What’s wrong? Are all in Dragon Group a bunch of cowards and weaklings? Our special forces squad has engaged in dozens of operations, big and small. Didn’t expect that in the end, we would be teammates with a bunch of fame-seekers—quite amusing indeed!"

At that moment, a young man from the Dragon Group stood up, speaking coldly, "Your special forces squad is indeed impressive, but trying to show off in front of us Dragon Group is quite laughable! We didn’t respond because you’re too weak. Fighting you would simply be bullying, but since you wish for our guidance, I, Chen Ming, will enlighten you!"

The young man was none other than the young master who had rescued Yun Hanrui at the time! Chen Ming had already stepped into B-level strength, enough to kill a common War King in seconds!

"Haha, what a boast!" Lin Wei’s face darkened, "Then please, expert from the Dragon Group, kindly enlighten me!"

As he spoke, Lin Wei’s body swayed, and he suddenly pounced toward Chen Ming.

In the special combat squad, Lin Wei was known as Spirit Fox, with strong and agile movements, especially skilled in jungle warfare!

Watching Lin Wei charging at him, there was no fluctuation on Chen Ming’s face because he had seen through all of Lin Wei’s movements!

Bang, bang, bang! Lin Wei charged forward, his hands swift like lightning, each move forceful and heavy. Although he was not as big or strong as Chen Lei, he could pinpoint the opponent’s weaknesses and strike at them instantly.

After several moves, Chen Ming kept retreating step by step under Lin Wei’s barrage, much to the delight of the special combat squad members!

At the same time, their look toward the Dragon Group member also revealed a trace of puzzlement and disdain!

If this was the extent of a Dragon Group expert’s skills, they were not much indeed! Let’s not forget, this was not even the terrain the special combat squad was familiar with; had it been in mountainous and forested areas, they were even more confident in handling these so-called experts!

But only Wang Zhong’s brow furrowed tightly because, although it seemed Lin Wei had the upper hand and advantage, the other party’s face was utterly calm, showing no signs of disturbance!

"Could it be... all of this is within his control? Are the Dragon Group experts really that formidable?" Wang Zhong was somewhat startled. Lin Wei’s strength might not be the strongest in the special combat squad, but his overall ability was also in the top five, and it was not easy for anyone to subdue him.

"Is this the strength of a Dragon Group expert? I think it’s nothing special!" Lin Wei licked his lips as his fists and kicks came in a relentless barrage, each aimed at Chen Ming’s weaknesses.

Chen Ming remained silent, just retreating a few more steps, dodging Lin Wei’s attacks.

"You fell for it!" Lin Wei’s lips curled into a smug smile. "Skyrocket Cannon!"

Although he had already dodged Lin Wei’s attacks, Chen Ming hadn’t expected Lin Wei to suddenly accelerate mid-way, making it impossible for him to dodge anymore!

Boom! Lin Wei’s heavy punch landed squarely on Chen Ming’s chest.

Everyone expected Chen Ming to be blown away or at least stagger from the injury!

But a smile appeared on Chen Ming’s face, "Not bad in strength, but to challenge the Dragon Group with this level is a bit too arrogant! Back off!"

Lin Wei felt a powerful force emanating from Chen Ming’s body, pouring into his own body through his heavy punch!

"Pfft!" Lin Wei stumbled back more than ten steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Lin Wei!" The other special combat team members were shocked, not expecting Lin Wei, who had the upper hand, to be defeated so quickly!

Lin Wei stared at Chen Ming in horror; he was very aware that this force was actually his own Skyrocket Cannon, only reversed by Chen Ming’s counterattack!

"Dragon Group experts, indeed formidable!"
