King of Special Forces <<< Chapter 1: Fighting Match

Yunnan mountainous area.

"Thunk, thunk, thunk!" Three throwing knives accurately struck the trees in three directions. The position of the knife tips was where a target had been hand-drawn.

Zhao Guoqing smiled with satisfaction. Because of his congenital heart disease, he couldn't exercise as vigorously as ordinary people, and even a little exertion could cause his heart to stop. Therefore, he couldn't participate in training like other new recruits, so he could only spend some time each day practicing his throwing knife skills on the back hill of the company.

"My three-meter throws are already incredibly accurate." Zhao Guoqing thought to himself, "After over a year of practice, I've made significant progress in the art of throwing daggers. At three meters, I can hit any target I choose."

Recalling his grandfather's 70th birthday a year ago, Zhao Guoqing still finds it hard to forget. That day, he was in such a state of grief that he almost died.

That day was supposed to be a happy one, but just as relatives and friends were about to gather, a Zhao Guoqing, someone the family wasn't too keen on seeing, arrived at the Zhao household with two soldiers, bringing bad news.

Brother Zhao Guo sacrificed himself.

The shocking news turned the celebratory banquet into a somber memorial service.

That day, the grandfather, who was known as the God of War, shed tears for the first time.

To know that his grandfather had lived a life of war, five sons died in battle and he didn't cry once. But when one grandson died, it broke the old man beyond control.

That day, when Zhao Guoqing learned of his brother's death, he was so overcome with grief that his heart temporarily stopped beating, almost causing his grandfather to lose another grandson.

After being rescued, Zhao Guoqing had only one thought: to join the army and become a hero like his brother!

Originally, because of Zhao Guoqing's academic reasons, he was the only male member of the Zhao family who did not serve in the army. However, under his insistence, his grandfather and mother finally relented, allowing him to join the regular army as an ordinary soldier.

Zhao Guoping chose to join the army for another special reason: it was Xiao Ya's arrival that brought news of his brother's death to the Zhao family.

The Xiao family was also a prominent clan, wielding influence in the military that rivaled the Zhao family. Due to the amicable relations between the two families, a betrothal had been arranged even before Zhao Guoqing and Xiao Yaxia were born.

The memory that left the deepest impression of Xiao Ya is her, at five years old, standing on her tiptoes and commanding in a powerful voice, “Zhao Guoqing, if you want to marry me, Xiao Ya, you have to defeat me first! I, Xiao Ya, will never marry a coward!”

What does it mean to be calculated by someone?

That was Zhao Guoqing's other experience of narrowly escaping death due to an agitated state. He hadn't seen Xiao Yasha again for a long time after that, until he brought the news of death to the Zhao family.

The girl I remembered, who was plump and adorable, has now blossomed into a stunning beauty. What shocked Zhao Guoqing the most was that she was actually two clubs and one star, a schoolgirl under seventeen years old!

Later, Zhao Guoqing found out that Xiao Ya's younger sister had joined her brother Zhao Guo's elite Special Assault Force and had won the King of Combat title for three consecutive years.

Damn, the gap between me and this girl is getting wider and wider.

To join the military, to enter that most divine special forces unit, to defeat Xiao Ya and become a king of special forces like his brother. This is the reason that has kept Zhao Guoqing alive for over a year.

He glanced at the time, seeing that it was almost time. Zhao Guoqing wiped the sweat from his brow and put away his three flying knives before turning toward the company. As soon as he stepped onto the campgrounds, he heard a deafening roar.

"Come on!"

"Lee Shi-Cheng, come on!"

"Get out of the way!"

……

Zhao Guoqing saw a crowd gathered and went to take a look. It turned out to be a sparring match between new recruits and veterans.

To quickly improve the combat effectiveness of new recruits, the company often holds similar fighting competitions. Even minor injuries won't result in reprimands from the captain.

At this moment, all on the field are soldiers. The new recruit named Li Shicheng, participating in the competition, hails from a rural area in Henan.

Li Shicheng is an honest person, just as his name suggests. If anyone asked him why he joined the army, his answer would always be just one: to protect his country!

Li Shicheng's opponent was a first-class soldier named Wu Manman.

Unlike Li Shichen, Wu Manman is a city boy who enlisted purely for the money. He fancies himself an old soldier and often bullies new recruits.

Li Shichen worked on farms since he was young, and during his training, he wasn't diligent enough. So, his aptitude was definitely among the best among new recruits, but after all, Wu Manman had been in the army for a year longer than him, which gave him an edge on the battlefield.

Zao Guoqing just took a look and discovered that Wu Manman was truly dangerous. She always attacked Li Shicheng's vital points, and when Li Shicheng defended, she would strike again.

“Bang!” Li Shicheng was kicked to the ground by Wu Manman’s sweep as he dodged her blinding attack.

“You lost!” Wu Manman said triumphantly, standing there with the air of a victor and surveying her surroundings arrogantly. “Is there any new recruit who’s dissatisfied? Come up and spar with me! I can even teach you a few self-preservation techniques,” she boasted.

Shameless.

The new recruits were unhappy with Wu's relentless attacks, but they held back from speaking out because he was a veteran.

After scanning the crowd with his eyes, Wu Manman landed on Zhao Guoqing and said with a playful smile: "Isn't this our esteemed document officer? It's truly rare to see you here. Why don't you come up and play a bit? You could give us some pointers on how to fight better?"

"He's actually going to challenge Zhao Guoqing?"

"He's still an old soldier, really out of line."

……

People around couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.

Zhao Guoqing, because of his poor heart health, could not participate in strenuous training. His aptitude was naturally the worst, so he received special care and was assigned to work as a clerk.

Facing Wu Manman's provocation, Zhao Guoqing didn't feel a ripple in his heart. Except for the time when he was knocked to the ground by Xiao Ya at five years old and learned about his brother's sacrifice, Zhao Guoqing understood how to control his emotions better than people his age. Even when he was extremely angry, he could completely control himself.

"Sergeant Wu, do you really want me to give you guidance?" Zhao Guoqing asked.

When Wu Manman heard this, she was delighted and laughed, saying, "Of course, it's truly a blessing to be able to receive guidance from the document. Please go ahead."

Zhao Guoqing smiled slightly: "You know I'm not good at being too aggressive, so if you want me to guide you, I won't go up and fight you personally."

"So you want someone to help you?" Wu Manman scanned the new recruits in the room. Making sure that none of them, except for the veterans, were a match for her, she said carelessly, "Find whoever you want."

Zhao Guoqing's eyes swept across the new recruits. They all knew they weren't a match for Wu Manman, and whenever Zhao Guoqing looked their way, they instinctively averted their gazes, fearing he might single them out.

Zhao Guoqing smiled nonchalantly, finally his gaze fell on Li Shichen who had just gotten up from the ground. He walked over and said, "Shichen, do you have the strength to fight another round?"

When others saw Zhao Guoqing looking for Li Shicheng, they began to whisper and discuss. Wu Manman even exaggeratedly laughed: "I say, Mr. Document, you wouldn't have had an eye problem just now, would you? Li Shicheng was just knocked down by me, why do you want him to go up and get beaten again!"

Zhao Guoqing ignored everyone else and continued to tell Li Shicheng, "Shicheng, believe me, you will definitely defeat him this time."

Li Shicheng came from the countryside. When he first joined the new recruit company, everyone else thought he was rough around the edges and almost no one wanted to talk to him. Only Zhao Guoqing greeted him and gave him a lot of help. Therefore, Li Shicheng considered Zhao Guoqing his best friend and trusted everything he said.

"How can I beat him?" Li Shicheng scratched his head and asked.

Zhao Guoqing leaned into Li Shicheng's ear and whispered a few words, finally saying: "As long as you do what I say, I guarantee you can defeat him in three moves."

Three tricks!

This statement shocked everyone else, who thought Zhao Guoqing not only had eyesight problems but also mental issues.

"Three moves? I say, Mister Wu Wen, you must be dreaming! With just his Li Shi Cheng, he couldn't possibly defeat me in three moves, let alone thirty!" Wu Manman said.

"Sergeant Wu, what if I defeat you with three honest moves?" Zhao Guoqing asked.

Wu Manman blurted out, "If this kid can defeat me in three moves, I'll wash his feet for him tonight and do it myself!"

"Alright, then it's settled." Zhao Guoqing replied.

"Just a moment," Wu Manman said, narrowly smiling and saying, "Sir Official, what if he can't defeat me in three moves?"

Zhao Guoping readily said, "Then I'll make you a week's worth of foot washing water and wash your feet for you."

"Good!" Wu Manman replied happily, waving to Li Shicheng. "Come here quickly! I can't wait for Master Document Clerk to wash my feet for me!"

"Go on." Zhao Guqing patted Li Shicheng confidently.

As Li Shicheng walked up, the others started discussing again, all of them believing that Li Shicheng was doomed to lose. Zhao Guoqing would end up washing Wu Manman's feet for a whole week for nothing, and he still had to wash them.

Compared to other people's worries, Zhao Guoqing looked very calm, as if the outcome of this game had nothing to do with him.

The competition has begun.

Wu Manman went all out as soon as she came on stage, unleashing her killer move. She was also afraid that she might accidentally lose the game, so she wanted to strike first and gain an advantage.

Most viewers shook their heads in disappointment. The outcome was as expected: Li Shicheng's strength paled in comparison to Chen Manman's. Even if Chen Manman didn't put up much of a fight, she was still far outmatched.

In the blink of an eye, two moves had passed. Li Shicheng was steadily losing ground, and with this third move, Wu Manman unleashed her fury. She jumped into the air and kicked straight towards Li Shicheng's head. If that kick landed, Li Shicheng would surely be knocked unconscious on the spot.

It's over, it's over.

Everyone else felt sorry for Zhao Guoqing, but after his guidance, Li Shicheng not only failed to defeat Wu Manman in three moves, but was instead about to be defeated by Wu Manman in three moves. This was even worse than last time.

Zhao Guoqing, however, remained calmly watching the competition.
