I'm A Baller

Chapter 186 - Fighting It Out

Chapter 186: Fighting It Out

“Dude, what do you mean?”

Song Chen always had cold expression on his face. At this moment, as he asked the question aggressively, he looked quite fierce.

However, this guy was so handsome, and he wasn’t very tall at 175 centimeters with shoes on, which made him look not as domineering as he wished.

Gao Hu was only slightly stunned, and then he spat disdainfully to the ground.

“I said Wang Yan doesn’t have the ability to compete for the position of the flag bearer! What do you think?!”

“You… who do you think you are?!”

Song Chen was furious, but first of all, he didn’t know how to fight, and secondly, he didn’t know how to quarrel. His dry question made him look weak.

“Then who are you?”

Gao Hu sneered and sat on the ground, sizing up Song Chen.

“The seven flag bearer trainees are all around 1.8 meters. You are the only one who is not tall enough and compensate it with your looks. Do you really have the nerve to complain? What’s the matter? Do you really think you are the chosen one just because girls love your looks? Being a flag bearer depends on your physical strength, not your face!”

“That’s not right.”

Song Chen was about to explode when Instructor Yan Chuan suddenly interrupted him.

“Whether you can become a bearer depends on your basic skills and willpower. Gao Hu, you might not be able to do it, and Song Chen might be able to. There are still 11 days left, and anything is possible.”

Seeing that the two of them didn’t look convinced, Yan Chuan changed the topic and began to criticize the two of them for their impulsiveness.

“In the army, we value obedience, but we also encourage fair competition. As long as you don’t backstab, whoever is stronger will get the honor.

“Listen up, all of you. Although I personally think that a fight between men is sometimes useful in promoting friendship, this is military training. Whoever dares to fight and cause trouble won’t get his credit or honor. At the very least, he will get a public criticism.

“So all of you must train hard. I guarantee that the selection will be fair. Let’s see who will win in the end. Do you understand?”

Gao Hu and Song Chen did not say a word.

The instructor’s eyes widened and he raised his voice. “Do you understand?!”

“Yes, sir!”

“I do!”

They were just two boys. Yan Chuan no longer paid attention to the conflicts between them.

The army was full of hotheaded young man and there were many defiant youths among them.

In the end, they were all modified and polished into fine steel!

Yan Chuan looked at them as if he was looking at children throwing a tantrum. As long as they didn’t engage in fistfight and did the training, he wouldn’t get involved in their business.

If it could stimulate their competitive spirit, it would be a good thing.

Gao Hu quickly realized the instructor’s attitude and began to stab Wang Yan and Song Chen with words again.

“Really, you two are more suitable to hang out with girls. Want to be the standard bearer? I’ll put it this way: neither of you can do it! If you don’t like what I said, come and compete with me!”

“On what?! Homolateral walking?”

Wang Yan’s sudden barb made everyone laugh.

“You!”

Gao Hu was stunned, and his dark face turned purple with anger.

When Song Chen lost his temper, Gao Hu was not afraid at all, but he felt a sharp pain when Wang Yan calmly poked at his most vulnerable spot.

“Lying on the ground like a dead dog, you can do nothing but talk. We’ll see who’s got better skills!”

“It’s because Brother Wang…”

Song Chen was about to explain, but Wang Yan stopped him.

“Fine, we’ll let skills speak for us.”

Wang Yan calmly accepted the challenge, but a wild fire rose in him, growing stronger and stronger.

“Brother Wang…”

Song Chen felt sulky. Why didn’t you let me finish? It was clearly not your fault today!

Wang Yan shook his head, signaling Song Chen not to mention it.

What is there to explain to a troll who clearly dislikes you?

Actions were the most powerful weapon, and the result was the loudest slap.

Yan Chuan watched them with a cold expression, and his impression of Wang Yan changed once again.

Although his physical strength was poor, he wasn’t afraid of challenges and had courage. The boy could become something.

Thus, in the following training, he became even more strict with Wang Yan.

However, Wang Yan’s performance was still the worst out of the eight. He swayed as he marched, as if he was sleepwalking.

Seeing this, Gao Hu got even more sarcastic. In the end, not only did the students from the other departments look down on Wang Yan, even Xu Tianci felt embarrassed.

What the hell?

Bragger!

After finishing the training, Wang Yan dragged his tired feet back to the dormitory. After taking a shower, he picked up the “Origin of Blue Blood: The Meaning of Luxuries” and casually flipped through it for two hours.

Ever since he got the habit of reading, today was the day that Wang Yan’s reading efficiency was the lowest.

However, he’d feel uncomfortable, empty and insecure if he didn’t read.

Actually, it was not impossible for him to make an exception.

Skipping reading for one day in a special occasion would not have any negative consequences. Things would change the next day.

However, Wang Yan did not want to start a bad habit, not even once.

I’m only 19 years old this year and should be full of energy.

If I lose my spirit now, what can I do in the future?!

Staying idle every day?!

No way!

I’ll never give up!

After fighting with himself for two hours, he threw the book away and sent a message to Liu Li. Then he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, it was three in the morning.

He stretched his body and heard crackling sounds from his bones. He was full of energy and felt extremely well.

He had fallen asleep before eight last night and had only slept for less than eight hours in total. However, he had fully recovered the energy. From this, it could be seen that his 79-point physique was extremely powerful after all.

After washing up, Wang Yan picked up the “Origin of Blue Blood: The Meaning of Luxuries” again and went to the stairs in the corridor.

When he was flipping through the book yesterday, Wang Yan found some of the contents very interesting. However, his mind was a mess at that time, so he didn’t put much thought to it.

So he had to read it again today. With the [ Rapid reading ] skill, he would be able to finish the main content in two hours.

Before 5:30 am, Wang Yan closed the book, patted his sore butt, put on his military training uniform, and strolled to the small woods beside the lotus pond.

The students of the university were not particularly hard working, but not all of them were lazy. In the early morning, there were already many people reading aloud outside.

Uh, they were all girls.

Ignoring the gazes from the girls, he found a clearing, and began to practice the goose steps.

The most important skill of a flag bearer consisted of three parts.

They were standing posture, goose step, and flag-holding.

Because it didn’t involve raising the flag, the job was relatively simple.

As for standing posture, Wang Yan’s posture was very straight, so he only needed to strengthen it a bit.

He must focus on goose step and flag holding.

In the words of Liu Li and her friends, one could only master such skills by practicing diligently.

When the skill was carved into the bones and became part of his muscle memories, then he wouldn’t make any mistakes.

Young Master Wang had vowed to himself: In the next 10 days, I’ll not be a tycoon anymore; I’ll be a hard-working soldier!

Practice, right?

Let’s do it!

He placed his phone on the instep of his foot and raised his leg to practice standing in the military posture.

He stood there until it was past 8 o’clock, the time for the morning training. He hurriedly bought a large pancake and ate it as he rushed to the training ground.

When he arrived, his legs were sore and trembling. His performance was only slightly better than yesterday. He got more sneers this morning.

After lunch, he took a taxi to the nearest foot massage shop. They soaked his feet in warm water with Chinese medicine and massaged them.

In the afternoon, the flagpoles and the national flags had arrived, so flag-holding was added to the training program.

After supper, the other students went to sing military songs but Wang Yan brought the flagpole to the clearing by the lotus pond and continued to practice.

It was almost 11 o’clock when he returned to the dormitory. His roommates were both distressed and puzzled.

“Brother Wang, what are you trying to achieve?”

“That’s right! You said there will be only one flag bearer. Why do you work so hard?”

“If you ask me, don’t make it too hard for yourself. Our class also needs a flag bearer. Boss, no one will be able to compete with you!”

Wang Yan smiled but did not say anything. He suddenly thought of Liu Li.

Sometimes, there was indeed no need to expect outsiders to understand.

But it didn’t matter because he knew a person who would understand him.

Even if no one understood him, he would understand himself and that was enough.

The strength of the god-level tycoon came from money, but more importantly, from his willpower.
