Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Strength Recognized

The three searched for a long time but couldn’t find their husbands, infuriating them.

"Where did those three bastards go? Where’s everyone!"

No matter how hard they stomped their feet, it was useless.

Little did they know that the men they were cursing were all at the training ground, fighting with all their might against Lu Feng.

The battalion commanders, platoon leaders, and company commanders were all gathered at the training ground. They had long wanted to compete with Lu Feng, but Lu Feng had always been dismissive of these unreasonable demands.

It was rare for him to agree today, and they were determined to compete with him at any cost.

Quite a few felt contempt toward Lu Feng, believing that his rise to power wasn’t due to true ability but rather luck in completing several missions.

They never thought they were any less competent than him.

Wang Lu and Fu Cheng watched as Lu Feng faced four opponents, setting out with five people, but still quickly skimming ahead without any pressure.

"Is Lu Tuan okay?" Wang Lu was a bit worried.

Fu Cheng glanced at him, unsure of where he thought Lu Feng would have a problem. To him, these few people were merely a warm-up.

"You’d better worry about yourself rather than him." Fu Cheng said casually, folding his arms. "He’s holding back; otherwise, he would’ve reached the finish line long ago."

Fu Cheng smirked. If Lu Feng were competing against him, given his previously displayed strength, he would have already reached the finish line.

Now surprisingly, he’s taking it easy, clearly letting others win.

Eventually, Lu Feng reached the finish line first, followed closely by the battalion commanders, who gave Lu Feng a thumbs-up, panting heavily.

"We used to think you relied on luck, but now I’m convinced; you really have some skills!"

"Phew, we must admit, we’re no match for you."

"Are you made of iron lungs? At this pace, how can you breathe so steadily?"

"I don’t know about you all, but I’ve conceded. Can’t catch up, absolutely can’t catch up."

Today they completed eight laps, double the usual training, and they were a bit exhausted, while Lu Feng had barely sweated.

It’s really infuriating comparing oneself to others.

"I’m different from you; I don’t have family responsibilities, so I can focus on training." Lu Feng smiled, giving them an easy way out.

"You have one now too! We’ve all envied you seeing how your wife takes care of things so well at home." They looked at Lu Feng, patting his shoulder.

Everyone in the unit knew Lu Feng had adopted two sons. At that time, the unit discovered that the children of martyrs were wandering outside without proper care, and they immediately convened a meeting.

They couldn’t let their brothers who died for them rest uneasily and decided to find someone to adopt the two children.

While everyone was worried, Lu Feng stepped up and volunteered to adopt the children.

Some thought he was exploiting the children; some believed he was noble, while others felt he was just showing off.

Nevertheless, everyone unanimously disapproved of Lu Feng adopting the children.

After all, Lu Feng didn’t even have a wife, and a rough man wouldn’t know how to look after kids.

But now, in just a few months, Lu Feng has transformed entirely; no wonder they say marrying a virtuous wife can prosper three generations! After Fu Xiaoxiao arrived, she managed the household so well that Lu Feng didn’t have to worry at all.

"You all have one too!" Lu Feng complimented, smiling.

"Our wives, let’s just forget it!" The three exchanged glances, thinking of their own fiery-tempered wives and feeling a headache.

Each one of them had a high-maintenance wife — one was spoiled, one was willful, and one had an air of superiority, none were easy to get along with.

When they didn’t see them, the three were quite happy to be free.

When there was no one cooking, they’d go eat at the canteen. Anyway, when they were at home, there wasn’t much food to eat, and they’d have to serve them.

"You know their temperaments better than we do. If you run into them, please be forgiving! Don’t be petty with them." The three battalion commanders said to everyone.

"Don’t provoke our wives; we won’t intervene naturally, but if you do, apologies won’t solve anything." Fu Cheng glared at them, showing no mercy.

The three turned around upon seeing Fu Cheng but didn’t pay much attention.

"That’s what I mean too; some things need clarification. Don’t think that if there’s conflict, your wives are spoiled while ours will bear the brunt." Lu Feng stood beside Fu Cheng; they shared the same opinion.

Whatever they are like outside is fine; just promise not to provoke the ones dear to us.

The three laughed awkwardly, exchanged glances but dared not respond confidently.

Who knows what they’ll be like...

"Dad, haven’t you competed with Uncle yet?" Lu Feng tugged at Lu Feng’s pants, pointing at Fu Cheng with one hand.

Fu Cheng had been waiting for a long time, signaling Lu Feng to come forward for a proper match.

The last time was a muddle; this time, he’d give it his all.

"Alright." Lu Feng nodded, following Fu Cheng to the starting line.

"Begin!" Someone signaled both of them, and as soon as the signal went off, the two sped away, and no one could see them until they were halfway through.

"Is this speed real?" Money Battalion Commander was incredulous; if Lu Feng had started with such speed just now, the three wouldn’t have had to compete.

Their speeds were evenly matched, with obstacle course times differing by mere decimal points.

Everyone watched intently, involuntarily adopting Lu Feng’s perspective, only to find their eyes couldn’t keep up with their speeds.

"No one has any objections now." Wang Lu glanced at their absorbed looks, his lips curling into a smile.

As the group returned to the venue, Fu Xiaoxiao’s group was seen from afar sitting in noticeably conspicuous spots. As Lu Feng, Fu Cheng, and Wang Lu returned, Lu Chen and Lu Lin spotted Fu Xiaoxiao from a distance and excitedly ran over.

"Mom! We’re back!" Lu Chen ran towards Fu Xiaoxiao and jumped into her embrace.

"Look at you, all sweaty from running." Fu Xiaoxiao laughed, taking a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

"Dad is amazing, he beat so many people single-handedly!" Lu Chen’s eyes sparkled with admiration. "Dad even ran a lap with us and brother!"

Lu Chen chatteringly reported to Fu Xiaoxiao about how Lu Feng fought single-handedly and didn’t forget to take the two little ones around for a run.

Although very tired, Lu Chen was delighted.

"How about you? Tired?" Fu Xiaoxiao asked Lu Lin, whose cheeks were also flushed, sitting beside her and gulping water.

Obviously, he was very thirsty.

"Not tired, very fun. Dad promised us that he’d take us whenever he’s free." Lu Lin’s eyes were shining, something Fu Xiaoxiao seldom saw; obviously, he liked it quite a lot.

"That’s good." Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, wiping their sweat.

When Lu Feng and Fu Cheng approached, all the women who had been sitting suddenly and considerately scooted away, leaving seats for Lu Feng and Fu Cheng.

Fu Cheng relaxedly sat next to Lin Qiu, who promptly poured him water. "Tired?"

"Next time, I’ll definitely beat him!" During the recent duel with Lu Feng, Fu Cheng ultimately lost, lacking Lu Feng’s coordination in his movements.

"You’re already amazing." Lin Qiu smiled, encouraging him.

"Dad was just a tiny bit faster than Uncle..." Lu Chen relayed the battle results to them, causing Fu Xiaoxiao and the others to laugh.
