BANG!

The office door was kicked open with a heavy crash.

Immediately, the Divine Machine Camp members in the dormitory downstairs heard the commotion and rushed up.

"Teacher Lin, what happened?"

When Jiaolong and the others saw Kong Ying's murderous expression, they instinctively shrank back. This is the military district commander's granddaughter, and it looks like she's here to cause trouble for Teacher Lin. We can't afford to provoke her. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, retreating is the best. In an instant, the group scrambled back down the stairs.

"Captain, what do you think Advisor Kong wants with Instructor Lin?"

"What else could it be? The usual."

"What's 'the usual'? Can't you be more specific?"

"You're a naive virgin. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Jiaolong, however, said sternly, "All of you, shut up!"

Monkey and the rest quickly fell silent. Although Jiaolong was no longer their captain, they still held him in high regard.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Jiaolong frowned. "Come on, let's find Captain Shi."

Captain Shi was Shi Potian.

「In the office.」

Lin Mu looked up to see a woman in her early twenties with short hair. She had a tall, slender, and stunning figure, and her military uniform added a touch of heroic spirit. Kong Ying's first impression was one of heroism and style. Of course, she would have been quite beautiful if she weren't scowling. Shen Lian stood behind her, watching Lin Mu with an intrigued expression.

"Lin, what the hell are you doing? Is this what you call training?!" Kong Ying demanded the moment she entered, her tone accusatory.

"Next time, knock before you enter!" Lin Mu frowned. "Also, I hear you're some kind of honorary advisor? Then you should know the rules. Outsiders aren't allowed in the Divine Machine Camp training base!"

"Don't try to pull rank on me," Kong Ying retorted angrily. "The Divine Machine Camp isn't like other special forces. I don't fall for that."

"Since the Divine Machine Camp is unlike other units, you should understand this even better." Lin Mu propped his legs up on his desk. "Here, I'm the one in charge. So," he stated indifferently, "from now on, you're no longer the honorary advisor. Take your man and get out."

Lin Mu's tone was suffused with an undeniable and domineering authority that brooked no refusal. Kong Ying was so furious her chest heaved violently, and Shen Lian raised a theatrical eyebrow.

"You're the new instructor for the Divine Machine Camp?" Shen Lian spoke, his voice dripping with contempt.

The Divine Machine Camp is really going downhill. The instructors keep changing, each one worse than the last. A young man about my own age can be an instructor here? How ridiculous!

"Seeing as you're Kong Lin's granddaughter, I'll give you one last chance." Lin Mu's smile vanished as he said coldly, "Get out!"

"You..." Kong Ying also had a fiery temper. As Kong Lin's granddaughter, she had been toughened by the military since childhood, making her unlike ordinary girls. Therefore, she didn't show the slightest fear, even when facing the Chief Instructor of the Divine Machine Camp. "Fine! Just fine! I'd like to see what you're really made of!"

Since childhood, when had Kong Ying ever been berated like this? And he told her to get out? Even Zhang Ze and Zhou Dalong were always polite to her. But this Lin Mu actually had the audacity to tell her to get out. If she didn't teach him a harsh lesson today, Kong Ying felt she would never be able to stomach this insult!

"Heh, not bad, not bad at all." Shen Lian suddenly laughed, but his smile was sinister. "To think the Chief Instructor of the Divine Machine Camp would stoop to bullying a defenseless woman. I, Shen Lian, have really seen it all now."

"It's none of your damn business. Now, get lost!" Lin Mu, however, didn't give Shen Lian the time of day. Did he really think I'm like the previous instructors, someone any Tom, Dick, or Harry could walk all over?

Just then, Jiaolong and the others arrived with a groggy Shi Potian in tow. Seeing the situation, they knew trouble was definitely brewing.

"Xiao Tian, throw him out for me," Lin Mu leaned back in his chair and said. "And remember, I said *throw*."

"Oh." Shi Potian had just been woken up and was still groggy, completely unaware of what was happening. But that didn't stop him from obeying Lin Mu's orders to the letter. So, he walked straight toward Shen Lian.

"Lin, what are you trying to do?!" Kong Ying's expression changed. Does he actually dare to use force?

"Xiao Ying, step aside." Shen Lian, however, just chuckled. "He really thinks he's something, acting all high and mighty just because he's an instructor. Today, I'll be the one to teach you some manners!"

Shen Lian had said things like this many times before, and of course, Jiaolong and the others had heard similar taunts directed at past instructors. Normally, they might not have cared. But this time, Shen Lian was insulting Instructor Lin. So, the men who were about to step in to mediate, Jiaolong included, all took a step back. Lin Mu was the person they respected most. If Shen Lian dared to insult him, he was making an enemy of the entire Divine Machine Camp.

"Hmm, my door was kicked in," Lin Mu suddenly remarked. "Make sure he pays for it."

"Oh." Shi Potian acknowledged again and then made his move.

Shen Lian sneered. He was a disciple of the Bagua Sect Leader, having practiced martial arts for many years. He had further honed his skills in the army, adding a lethal edge to his presence. This subordinate of Lin Mu's looks like a wet-behind-the-ears punk. How strong could he possibly be? I could take him down with one punch.

However, Shen Lian had just thrown a punch, his fist moving like lightning and with an unpredictable trajectory. He had practiced this Bagua Fist technique to perfection; if it landed, Shi Potian would be crippled, if not killed.

But in the next instant, Shen Lian felt his fist being caught by a hand pulsing with power, its grip as unyielding as an iron vise.

"AH!" Shen Lian cried out, his face instantly turning pale.

Kong Ying watched, completely dumbfounded. This Shi Potian... he's terrifying! Even Shen Lian is no match for him? But the most important thing is... he looks like just a teenager!

"Let go! Let me go!" Shen Lian could no longer bear the pain, his shouts now turning into pleas.

Shi Potian, however, paid him no mind. He simply kicked out.

CRACK!

Shen Lian's leg snapped. Elder Brother Mu said the door was broken and needed to be paid for. I guess this guy's leg will cover the damages!

"AARGH!" Shen Lian let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered, his face twisting in agony.

Beside them, Kong Ying was scared out of her wits. "Stop! I said stop!"

Kong Ying started to rush forward, but Shi Potian glared. A dense Evil Qi instantly erupted from his body, blasting Kong Ying backward. She stared at Shi Potian in utter horror.

Meanwhile, Shi Potian grabbed Shen Lian by his one good leg and dragged him into the outer hallway. Hoisting Shen Lian up, Shi Potian roared, and with a burst of arm strength, hurled him through the air.

Elder Brother Mu said to throw him out. This should count, right?

Jiaolong and the others were stunned. He really threw him out? That's insane!

With a long, drawn-out scream, a figure slammed into the sea, kicking up a small splash before vanishing beneath the waves.

Shi Potian dusted off his hands, turned back towards the office, and pointed at Kong Ying on the floor. "Instructor, what about this woman?"

"Throw her out too."
