Chen Yifan and everyone else had arrived near the bottom of the hill . The map showed them that their destination was on the top of the hill .
In these few minutes, everyone was in an anxious state . They were afraid that they would step on a trap the next second . It was the most mentally exhausting ten minutes in their entire journey . However, when they reached the bottom of the hill, Chen Yifan realized that he was fooled by the people from the 250 Mecha Clan .
In the first five ambushes, he didn't notice certain clues so he didn't choose the best way to handle the situation . However, since he was able to bring his younger brother safely passed those ambushes, he felt that he had completed his task . He didn't feel frustrated . Yet, now, he felt a sense of helplessness . It felt like all his thoughts had been predicted by his opponent .
"There must be some powerful individuals at the last checkpoint . I was fooled by them entirely," Chen Yifan muttered to himself . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
"Brother, we are near our destination . Why did you stop?" Chen Yi'an saw Chen Yifan stopping in his tracks and felt puzzled .
Chen Yifan gathered his spirits when he heard his younger brother's voice and replied, "Be careful . The last ambush is probably here . " This was the last place their opponent could conduct their ambush . Chen Yifan was certain that they would be attacked on the hill .
All the recruit agreed with what Chen Yifan said . After experiencing the first five ambushes, they didn't believe that their superiors would let them pass the test so easily .
Hence, all the recruits gathered their strengths and walked up the hill .
The road up the hill was quiet . It was so quiet, the recruits could hear their own heartbeats . They got nearer and nearer to their destination and no one attacked them yet .
All the recruits arrived on an empty field at the halfway point of the hill . A flag pole was embedded right in the middle of the empty field . The flag of the 250 Mecha Clan was attached to it .
The 250 Mecha Clan was not an official ace mecha clan so they didn't have their own personal flag . Their flag was the 23rd division flag but the number '250' was painted on the other side of the flag . The symbol that represented their mecha clan was painted next to the numbers .
Two soldiers stood below the flag . Once they saw the recruits, they looked at the time on their communicators and said something to each other with a smile . They seemed happy to see the recruits reached here on time .
The recruits realized that they had reached their final destination . They were elated . There were 10 more minutes before the appointed time . They had completed the recruit test .
Unexpectedly, there was no scary ambush on the last part of their journey . They managed to successfully pass the test easily .
All the recruits jumped around happily . Although this was just a temporary team, they went through the toughest journey together . Such an experience drew everyone together, many of them hi-fived each other . Some of them even hugged the person beside them .
Guo Rongqi felt relief too . He hugged Chen Yifan excitedly . "Chen Yifan, we pass . We pass . In the end, there is no ambush . We just scared ourselves . "
On the other hand, Chen Yifan just stared at the two people standing at the field . He was in a daze . Did they really pass? Was the last ambush just an illusion that their opponents gave them?
Chen Yifan looked at the map on his communicator . The red flag which represented their destination was in their current spot . This meant that they had really passed the test .
"Recruits, why are you all shouting? Are you all not coming over here to end your test?" A stern voice came from the other side .
The recruits finally realized that they still had not registered and ended the mission officially . Everyone rushed towards the center of the field .
Just as Chen Yifan wanted to ask Chen Yi'an and the other two to follow the recruits, he coincidentally glanced at his communicator . The green dot which represented his position was moving further away from the red flag . Although it was near, the spot where the two soldiers were standing at was not where the red flag was .
Chen Yifan looked up immediately . He turned his head and saw a simple thatched hut on his right . The flag of the 250 Mecha Clan was placed on the roof of the hut . Something flashed passed his mind . He reached out and pulled Chen Yi'an with one hand . He didn't know who he grabbed with his other hand but he just pulled the person and rushed to the hut .
Chen Yifan wanted to remind everyone but he didn't have the time to . If he stayed for a moment longer, he would be attacked too .
Sure enough, the moment Chen Yifan moved, the recruits that rushed to the center of the empty field got attacked by the soldiers hiding around them . They had no chance of retaliating at all .
At that moment, all the recruits finally realized what was happening . This was not their final destination, this was an ambush! They were all caught off guard . It appeared when they felt the most relieved .
They were completely annihilated! They made so many plans before this but everything went to waste . They couldn't even initiate their plans when faced with the psychological tactic played by their opponents .
Chen Yifan dragged two people with him but his speed was still fast . If he was given another second, he would be able to enter the hut . No one would be able to catch them then .
Just as he was about to enter the hut, he felt a strong Qi-Jin energy coming behind him . His gaze turned sharp . He took a deep breath and directed all his Qi-Jin power to his arms . Two strong forces came out of his hands and push Chen Yi'an and Zhou Yu forward .
Chen Yi'an and Zhou Yu flew towards the entrance of the hut . Chen Yifan turned around and attacked with his palms again .
"Boom!" His palms collided with his opponent's fist and a loud explosion occurred . Chen Yifan felt a huge energy coming towards him . He stopped using his Qi-Jin . The energy from his opponent caused him to fly towards the hut .
"Huh?" Chen Yifan heard his opponent's puzzled voice .
At the same time, he saw two figures flying past him . They landed in front of him . He recognized one of them . It was his younger brother .
There is someone behind him! Chen Yifan immediately got a hold of the situation . Seems like their opponent made ample preparations and placed someone at the entrance of the hut too .
Should he give up on his brother and enter the hut himself? This thought flashed past his mind . The person who attacked them just now was as strong as him . He could feel it from the punch that he received from his opponent . If he didn't enter the hut now, he might not have another chance .
Even though he thought about entering the hut himself, he already controlled the power in his body and landed steadily on the ground . He was only three meters away from the hut .
Chen Yifan didn't regret his decision . His younger brother was the reason why he entered the military in the first place . If his younger brother couldn't pass the test, there was no point in him passing it . Additionally, he could feel the force of presence of the Qi-Jin master behind him . He might not even succeed if he tried to enter the hut just now . Once he failed to enter the hut, he would be surrounded by two Qi-Jin masters . He had no hope in completing the mission .
Chen Yifan looked at the Qi-Jin master who attacked him first . It was a bulky young man . For some reason, he felt that this person looked familiar . He tried to remember where he met this young man before .
"Not bad!" His opponent wanted to attack him again but the person behind him said, "Brother Jun, leave this person to me . " Chen Yifan felt that this voice was familiar too . He suddenly wanted to laugh . He actually found a person who looked familiar and a person who sounded familiar in the 250 Mecha Clan . He must be too tired .
The muscular young man frowned . "This is my prey . "
The person behind him continued . "The two people on the ground are yours . I know this person . There's something I want to ask him . "
"You know him? Really?" The muscular young man looked suspicious . Seems like he had been fooled by the other person before .
"Of course . Chen Yifan, are you not going to greet your old opponent?" The person behind Chen Yifan suddenly called his name . Chen Yifan was shocked . He turned around immediately and saw a familiar humble-looking young man smiling at him .
"Qi Long!" Chen Yifan gritted his teeth . He knew who this young man was . This was the person he lost to during the Grand Mecha Tournament . He would never forget him, the leader of the First Men's Military Academy that year, Qi Long .
Qi Long ignored the anger in Chen Yifan's eyes . He leaned against the door of the hut and crossed his hands in front of his chest . He spoke as though he was talking to an old friend . "Chen Yifan, with your capabilities, you can be a senior captain in any division . Why are you here as a logistician? Why are you just a low-level private? Don't tell me that you offended someone and got implicated . "
"That is none of your business," Chen Yifan replied furiously . He was fine with losing to the First Men's Military Academy but he couldn't accept the consequences he had to endure . Their team leader was the one who was incapable and caused them to walk into the trap, but because their leader had a powerful background and would most probably become a high-ranking officer in the military in the future, he couldn't have any shameful past records . Thus, the blame was pushed onto him, the so-called second-in-command . He was not given any power during the entire battle but he had to endure all the blame .
He wanted to retaliate and lodge a complaint but it was useless . This humiliation was written down in his records . He lost his confidence in the military academy after this episode . And in turn, caused him to lose his confidence in the military too . That was why he didn't want to enter the military . He became the only cadet that went back to his hometown after graduation .
Chen Yifan never expected that he would enter the military because of Chen Yi'an . The only difference was that he was a low-level logistician now and not an elite .
"Well, it is indeed none of my business but since you are part of the 250 Mecha Clan, it is my business now . " Qi Long flicked his epaulette . He gave an evil smile, "Private Chen Yifan, I'm your superior, Senior Captain Qi Long . "
Actually, the smile just seemed evil to Chen Yifan . To other people, Qi Long was giving a humble and sincere smile .
"Are you from the Third Men's Military Academy too? Are you my brother's senior?" Chen Yi'an asked curiously . He is a senior captain so he must have entered the military a long time ago . If he knows my brother, he could only be my brother's senior .
Chen Yifan's face turned red when he heard his younger brother's words . He knew that Qi Long was one year younger than him . Was his brother trying to imply that he was not as good as Qi Long? Chen Yifan understood what it's like to have a dull teammate . His younger brother is just slapping his face!
Qi Long smiled . "Of course not . I'm from the First Men's Military Academy . I should be one year younger than your older brother . "
"How is that possible?" Chen Yi'an was shocked . "You are a senior captain!" To Chen Yi'an, a senior captain was already a high-ranking officer . He knew that he might be unable to even become a staff sergeant at the end of his military career . He heard that many people retired as a corporal… Chen Yi'an counted mentally . A senior captain was five ranks higher than a corporal . He looked at Qi Long again . He stared at Qi Long's epaulette intently .
Zhao Jun and Qi Long laughed at Chen Yi'an's expression . Qi Long smiled and pointed at Chen Yifan . "If your brother wants to, he can become a senior captain too . I don't understand why your brother chose to become a normal logistician . "
Qi Long shook his head . Since Chen Yifan decided to join the military, why did he choose to become the lowest-ranked soldier? If his friends didn't carefully look through the profiles, they wouldn't know that one of their logisticians was actually an ace operator .
Chen Yi'an looked at his older brother in surprise . He thought about himself and felt touched . He cried, "Older brother, you chose to become a normal logistician because of me . I'm so sorry . "
