Chapter 1158
(Unedited)
…
Xin Ja did not mind the criticism around him. Instead, he focuses more on getting some food shoved inside his stomach as he is too hungry to bother with the people around him.
In fact, not many of them knew that the skill they have learned and used on the battlefield to effectively heal the wounded soldiers all came from this unassuming young man that they are currently scolding and mocking.
Xin Ja did not mind the people around him and quickly get some food and began eating. It did not take him long before he was able to clean his plate and quickly stood up and want to leave the mess hall.
However, several people suddenly blocked his path.
Leading the group is a stocky young fellow who is as tall as Xin Ja. He is the smallest person in his group, but it seems that everyone around him is his follower.
"Is this the guy that you are talking about?" the stocky young fellow said while looking at Xin Ja with a suspicious gaze.
"Yes… he… he might be coward but his medical skills is good…" a person wearing medic clothing replied.
"Good… Good. You there… Be one of my underlings and I assure you that no one would look down on you in this place." the stocky young fellow said with a smug expression on his face.
Upon hearing this, Xin Ja was a bit taken aback as he did not know what is happening. Why is he suddenly being recruited as an underling?
He looks at the small and stocky young man and the people around him and frowns. He did not know what is going on, but he did not want to be somebody\'s underlings. All he wanted is to survive this war and return home to his father, Yao Xue, and his friends.
He did not want to be entangled in this group so he wanted to just move around them. He is thinking that these people would not be that crazy to cause him trouble, right? Well, he is just thinking and hoping that this was the case. But of course, he is also not that naïve to think otherwise as he had already experienced such a scene.
But then, he just wanted to be alone and do his duty as part of the Kingdom of Jimal\'s army.
But his hope was dashed, when the stocky young fellow suddenly showed an angry expression on his face when Xin Ja move to the side and wanted to walk away. It was like an insult to him and his status as a small leader.
He suddenly gestured for his subordinates to stop Xin Ja.
"A newbie dare to show such arrogance before me, Tou Gou… You surely have guts!" he said while glaring at Xin Ja.
"Teach him a lesson!" he commanded.
While this is happening, most of the soldiers are already watching this scene with interest. The war has taken a toll on their mental stress, so watching an entertaining scene is something that they welcome to relax their minds.
As the group gang up on Xin Ja, they have already underestimated him as he is only a 1st level Ki fighter. They did not even want to use some strength as they knew that with just one slap this little fellow would already be knocked out.
And so a thin subordinate of the Tou Gou walks forward while sneering. The rest has just blocked Xin Ja\'s path.
As the thin guy closes in, he suddenly extended his hand and position his finger to flick at Xin Ja\'s forehead.
If he controls his strength, he could only make Xin Ja fall unconscious while throwing him in a sorry state which would surely embarrass him.
His action is something that made Xin Ja feel provoked. And this is something that he did not have a liking to.
As usual, his timid self suddenly seems to disappear and a cruel personality emerges from within him.
Simultaneously activating a bone rune and moving to attack his enemy, Xin Ja uses shadow steps to disappear from his spot like a flicker. Then before everyone\'s eyes, they saw the thin-looking soldier suddenly flying up in the air with his right-hand bend in a weird manner.
Xin Ja\'s figure did not seem to have moved, but those that have fast agility have seen what truly happened.
Xin Ja\'s shadow steps made his body move in a really fast manner and in just that flicker of an instant, he broke the Ki barrier covering the body of his opponent and then sent a strong punch on his jaw making him fly due to getting caught off-guard.
Crash!!!
The thin youth crashed on a table which made the soldiers eating there quickly lift their plates. They did not stop eating, but instead, continue while watching the scene with interest.
"What? How… how could he move in such speed?" muttered a soldier who saw everything that happened.
"That is not the speed of a 1st level Ki fighter. He is more of the 5th level with that speed." Another one said with a curious gaze.
"This little fellow has some tricks under his sleeve… this is interesting…" a handsome-looking young soldier said while watching the scene before him.
"It seems that you are interested in the little guy?" one of the people around him said.
"Hmm… More of curiosity… But I\'m not interested in taking him to my squad. He is after all a 1st level trash…" the handsome man said with a smirk.
"Haha… We are the ones leading the special squad of the battalion, of course, we could not accept such trash. But I agree with you that this seems interesting." Another one supported him.
The soldiers in the mess hall began to whisper one to another while watching the scene. They are even gloating at the thin young man and mocking the group of Tou Gou for being too useless as they are unable to even fight against a 1st level trash.
"Useless trash…" Tou Gou glared at the thin young man who seemed to have fainted while lying on the broken table.
"Get him!" Tou Gou commanded his minions.
The group did not bother with the levels as they quickly surrounded Xin Ja. Suddenly one of them pounced on him.
Xin Ja once again activates an anti-Ki field bone rune and shatters the Ki barrier of his attacker while he made a move on his enemy.
Although the man attacking him is a 3rd level soldier just like the one he sent flying, Xin Ja is already able to see the man\'s weak points from his attacking movement alone and with the help of his unique vision.
Forming his right hand into a fist while slightly extending his bent index finger out, he formed a one-knuckle strike.
He has already concentrated a thin amount of Ki at the tip of the extended index finger knuckle.
His eyes have already calculated where to strike and right now, the exposed shoulder of his enemy is bare to see, so he immediately moves in for the strike.
Thump!
A muffled sound echoed and the man suddenly his shoulder with his right hand limping. But before he could react since he is already in a pouncing stage, Xin Ja has already reached his lower abdomen and quickly do an uppercut that hits one of his left ribs.
The soldier did not say anything and just fell to the ground right in front of the small youth before him.
This time, the group is now alarmed along with the people in the mess hall.
"What? How could he take down a 3rd level Ki fighter? He is just some 1st level trash…"
"This is impossible… he might be using runes…"
"He is not… I cannot detect any rune glow around him or in his attacks."
"This is… Wait a minute… Is he hiding his true strength? He might not be just a simple 1st level Ki fighter, right?"
"Is he a wolf in a sheep\'s clothing?"
The soldiers became agitated while watching as they excitedly converse.
Meanwhile, Tou Gou is now seething in anger. He did not expect that his squad would be shamed in this place.
"Damn you! Take him down! Kill that bastard!" he shouted as his body began to glow.
A 6th level aura suddenly erupted from his body which tends to suppress those around him.
With his shout, the rest of his men suddenly pounce as Xin Ja without thinking twice. In their mind, they are already planning to punish this arrogant trash bastard with some broken bones and teeth.
They are already thinking of sending him to the infirmary and making him stay there for many months.
But one of them is thinking of following the words of Tou Gou by the letter. Since Tou Gou said to kill the bastards before them, then he would surely kill him.
He truly respected their squad leader and wanted to show his loyalty to him. So without hesitation, he suddenly grabs the dagger on his back and brandished it to kill the arrogant bastard who mocked his leader.
When everyone saw this, they all watched with wide eyes as that guy accelerated and quickly appear in front of Xin Ja.
"Die!"
