Chapter 634: Ripple's Wrath
ding them down, it was so much easier for us to kill the zombies."Now that he's gone, the surrounding zombies will surely swarm here once they smell his blood. It's only a matter of time."Level 2 zomb..."My lord, you also said he was a fool. Why are you still quarreling with him Besides, Miss would rather have Zhang Xuetuo do this! Otherwise, how could our Duan family rightfully break the engagement and let the Zhang family suffer in silence My lord's troops are not so easily borrowed."
Xia Xin also joined the ranks of comforting Duan Zongqing, pouring a cup of cold tea for her husband to cool down his fire.
"The person you arranged should keep a close eye on Yun Siyu and make sure no information is missed."
"Rest assured, Master. I've been keeping a close eye on her. And as Miss instructed, I'll release some hints every few days to lay the groundwork gradually. This way, even if things come to light in the future, the Zhang family will have no grounds to argue."
Xia Xin said she would definitely do a good job with this.
"It's been a year already, I wonder how Lian Yi is doing at the military academy Has she written any letters recently"
Duanzongqing missed his daughter and asked Chunxiao directly.
"I was counting the days, and in two or three days Miss's letter should arrive. She was as regular as clockwork, sending one letter every month, she would never be late."
"Well, let me know as soon as you receive it."
Yes, Master!
Chun Xiao smiled faintly in response, then had someone set the table. The three of them ate, and Duan Zongqing then went about his business.
His task is not easy either. He has to unify the Southern forces and secretly infiltrate the North. Even in his own territory, he has to find capable people to govern it. He can't just focus on war and neglect the people's livelihood and economy, otherwise, it would be like a monkey trying to hold corn cobs—always only having one in hand.
Even ripples in Country Y are not easy. Every day, they attend classes, training, and simulated warfare, with almost no time to think about anything else.
When she first arrived at this Y country Royal Military Academy, because of her obvious Xia nationality appearance, she was discriminated against. Even the teachers who gave lectures never called her name.
It doesn't matter about ripples, she's here to learn, not to make friends. As for the teacher not calling on her, it's fine. The only thing that matters is that she isn't allowed in class.
Ripples brought Duan Zongqing's assigned people into the military academy, with figures from the Duan family in almost every department. Because of their extreme obedience, even a young girl in bloom obeyed. This attracted a lot of attention.
Among them was Eisen Baska, who studied naval warfare. Eisen Baska, with his proud auburn hair, had reason to be proud.
His father was the admiral of the Y nation's royal navy, and he had high hopes for his son. He took him on warships when he was very young, so after entering the academy, Eisen Basker was already a celebrity with a group of followers.
After noticing the ripples, he started provoking the other person, but the other person didn't seem to care about his provocation. He walked around him and continued his class learning. This made him a little frustrated and ignited his competitive spirit, so he went to provoke another classmate surnamed Duan from the same major.
When a student from the Duan family was beaten until his nose was bruised and face swollen, he went to find the teacher, hoping that he could mediate and do justice.
Unfortunately, the other party not only failed to fairly handle the students involved in the conflict but also claimed that this was a battle between students and a way to improve their skills. They likened it to stepping into a boxing ring to determine victory or defeat. Losing was not shameful, they argued, and one could always strive to improve themselves before challenging again.
After listening to the guard's report, Lian Yi slammed her book shut and ordered him directly:
The one who's going to beat you up, and that Eisen Barska, are both coming along. See you on the ring tomorrow!
"Miss, please don't be angry. I will get justice for myself. Last time, it was my fault that they cornered me. Five against one, there's no way I could win. If it were one-on-one, I might not have lost."
"No need, too much trouble! I didn't plan to make such a big fuss. When these people push things too far, there's no point in putting up with it anymore. You go and issue a challenge, I'll give them a big present."
Ripples waved her hand and said, she has never been a pushover.
Yes, Miss!
That afternoon, news spread throughout the military academy that Xia Guo student Duan Lianyi, a first-year girl, was challenging male classmates in the boxing gym. After school, students flocked to the boxing gym, even including teachers.
Ripples changed into a red tracksuit, her long hair styled into a bun, her pretty face expressionless. Accompanied by the Duan family, she entered the boxing gym.
Look, here it comes!
"Wow! She's too thin! Won't she be beaten into a pig's head"
Her face isn't even as big as my palm yet! I bet the male classmates wouldn't dare to lay a hand on her!
"No! No! No! You underestimate the audacity of these men."
For a while, all sorts of discussions filled the venue. Lian listened to some of them, but she didn't really care.
The challenger has arrived. Upon seeing Ripples, he started spouting insults without a moment's pause, while others whistled in their direction. Meanwhile, Eisen watched Ripples with a triumphant expression, his message crystal clear: if you ignore me, I'll use those around you to make you pay. You'll come running anyway.
Ripples glanced at the other person lightly, then took off his coat and got on the boxing platform.
The referee, a tall and burly man with a thick beard, glanced at Ripple and spoke.
"Are you sure you want to challenge Francis"
"Confirmed!"
"Do you understand the rules of combat"
"Understood!"
Ok, the first round of the competition begins. Please bow to each other.
The first one to take the stage was Francis, a tall and slender young man who stood at nearly six feet. He had curly brown hair and his eyes seemed to linger on Ripple's chest as if searching for something.
As the two bowed to each other and the referee called for the start, Francis used his height advantage to rush towards Ripple, trying to control her upper body.
The ripple was just a fist, when the other party got close, a punch landed in their belly, causing Francis to take two steps back. Everyone outside was stunned for a moment before the Duan family people directly shouted:
"Come on, Miss!"
"Miss! You are the best!"
It's a story of blood and tears. They were all beaten by what seemed like innocent little ladies. As a result, their resilience has been greatly improved.
Francis rubbed his stomach, realizing he'd been careless and exposed his vulnerability. This time, he adopted a boxing defensive-offensive stance, slowly approaching Ripple, then struck swiftly with a punch.
The ripples approached the opponent and, predicting the opponent's punching hand, turned their head to avoid the opponent's straight punch. Then, they quickly punched the opponent's eyes. The opponent instinctively closed their eye, and then felt stars in front of their eyes, taking a step back. The other eye was also hit by a punch, and the final punch landed on his chest. He didn't know anything and fell straight down.
With the referee's astonished gaze, Ripples signaled the opponent to start counting down. Even though the referee counted very slowly, and there was even suspicion of letting water go, Francis didn't stand up until then and was carried away.
In the first game, Ripples won easily.
Lian Yi went for a drink after the first round, and continued to challenge the second, third, and fourth players.
By the end, the entire boxing ring was silent except for the sound of blows landing on flesh. It was a sickening sound, one that could only be heard coming from Ripples' opponent.
After beating up all the people who bullied Duanjia, Lianyi pointed at Eisen Basksar and said:
It's your turn!cial events. Everyone had a clear understanding of each other's abilities.Many people had long disliked Yu Bixiao, but only because Wu Lianyi protected her was she able to act so boldly until now. Whe...
