“Hehe, very good… you learn fast!”
Cai Huayu praised on the surface, but deep down, he felt like spitting blood at this moment.
This Wang Ye was truly wild!
He dared to use it right after he taught it.
But looking at the military rank on Wang Ye’s shoulder, he chuckled inwardly once again.
Well, what’s there for him to be afraid of?
After all, he wasn’t an ordinary private or corporal.
He had already reached the rank of lieutenant, so there was no need to be timid even when facing someone in his second phase.
At this moment, the other members of the squad on the side were also dumbfounded.
They really didn’t expect that Wang Ye could not only spar with Cai Huayu but also come out unscathed, even gaining the upper hand.
True, Cai Huayu hadn’t lost yet, but this had already exceeded everyone’s expectations.
In their minds, even if Wang Ye had good physical fitness and shooting skills, those could be understood.
After all, those were talents.
But in times of peace, there wasn’t much room for martial arts prowess in the outside world.
Moreover, Wang Ye didn’t seem to come from a martial arts background.
A person like him, who had entered the military for such a short time, should theoretically be weak in hand-to-hand combat, the kind that could be easily defeated by any reconnaissance soldier.
But now…
They were very fortunate that their squad leader had finally decided to send Cai Huayu, the squad’s best combatant, into the ring.
Otherwise, it might have been them going into the ring with smiles on their faces, only to be beaten and humiliated after a few moves.
That would have been quite embarrassing!
“That’s enough!”
At this moment, An Ping stopped the two who were still on guard and clearly wanted to continue.
No, Squad Leader, we’ve only exchanged a few moves. We haven’t even tested anything yet!” Cai Huayu immediately looked over and spoke hastily.
After a few minor setbacks, he couldn’t allow this to happen. After all, he was a veteran in the second phase and the squad’s combat expert.
Wang Ye remained silent. After all, he was facing someone in Phase Two, and it wouldn’t be good if he appeared too eager to engage in a fight.
But deep down, Wang Ye was actually looking forward to it.
Since joining the military, he had never been in a full-on combat like this before.
Leaving aside everything else, the brief exchange they had just now felt great to Wang Ye. He was even feeling quite excited at the moment.
An Ping looked at him and said, “Today, our mission is to instruct, and what we just did was just a warm-up, not a real fight.
If you want to fight, you’ll have plenty of opportunities after this week!”
He was also speaking to Wang Ye, although Wang Ye didn’t quite understand his meaning at the moment.
But regardless of whether he understood or not, under the squad leader’s words, this unfinished sparring between them had come to an end.
Afterward, Cai Huayu began teaching Wang Ye the techniques he hadn’t used before.
“The Capture Fist is a combat technique that only reconnaissance and special forces can learn. In addition, it’s a martial art that requires the use of Capture Knife and routine practice to master. It focuses on stealth and one-hit kills. At the same time, it’s a martial art that is generally not allowed to be used!”
Looking at Wang Ye, Cai Huayu said these words before starting the instruction.
His words clearly had another meaning, which was that “even though I lost just now, 1 was holding back.”
Wang Ye understood this but was somewhat skeptical. He felt that even if Cai Huayu had used it, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference.
Combat fighting wasn’t really about how skilled you were in techniques; it was about the person. During their previous fight, they didn’t strictly adhere to military boxing routines. Instead, they improvised their moves based on quick reactions. Some moves were adapted from military boxing routines, but most were based on their own instincts and attack intuition.
Certainly, these thoughts had occurred to him earlier.
Before long, Wang Ye found himself silently congratulating himself.
Darn, what were they teaching here?
It was so ruthless.
No wonder these techniques were not allowed for regular use.
They were indeed too dangerous, and it was no surprise they were prohibited in everyday training.
Moves like throat locks and groin kicks were all very dangerous. Practicing them with comrades could result in irreparable damage.
But when he thought about using these moves against real enemies, he had to admit they could be very effective.
One move could directly subdue an opponent.
It was a significant departure from the military boxing Wang Ye had learned before.
Military boxing had actually become somewhat of a popular exercise in society by now. Its lack of offensive power had been evident, as Wang Ye had experienced, and it had fallen short in terms of lethality.
However, in modern warfare, ordinary infantry soldiers didn’t need exceptionally high personal combat skills.
Good physical fitness had been sufficient. Close combat situations had rarely arisen for regular infantry, and there had been no need for such opportunities.
“Raise your hand a bit higher…”
“Kick faster, with a more cunning angle, and the force must be ruthless. You must ensure that when one leg strikes, the opponent loses all ability to resist.

On the training ground, Cai Huayu had been teaching Wang Ye the Capture Fist. The others had also been busy; since there had been four pairs of people and the squad leader, they had been practicing Capture Fist routines nearby.
“What are you doing? Be serious!”
“Your movements are so slow. Haven’t been practicing for a long time, huh?”
Over there, continuous scolding could be heard, and An Ping didn’t give them any face in front of Wang Ye.
They had been training for almost two hours straight, and Wang Ye’s proficiency in the Capture Fist had improved. After intentionally letting Cai Huayu demonstrate it once, combined with his own practice, it had reached level eight.
But that was the end of it for now.
After a brief break, they switched to a new training exercise at three in the afternoon.
Binding—of course, it wasn’t anything like the questionable Asian bondage scenes seen on television. It involved various methods of tying up enemies and knotting ropes.
After practicing for over forty minutes and teaching Wang Ye, they took a short break and then resumed Wang Ye’s training in Capture Fist.
“Very good, your memory is excellent. Now, 1’11 teach you the Capture Knife, so remember it!” In front of Wang Ye, Cai Huayu had watched as Wang Ye, who had just practiced other exercises an hour ago, could immediately execute the Capture Fist routine as soon as it was called. Cai Huayu smiled.
All teachers liked intelligent students with good memories. Those who couldn’t be taught could be quite frustrating to deal with, and Wang Ye was clearly one of those smart students.
However, this teaching session was shorter than the previous one, and Wang Ye hadn’t even fully learned the Capture Knife routine when An Ping came over to interrupt his learning. At the same time, An Ping instructed Wang Ye to review the binding course.
They continued until five o’clock.
“One… Two… Three… Four…”
Wang Ye was fully armed, running along with a group of people in front of the dormitory building towards the camp’s main gate.
It was time for physical training, armed cross-country running of ten kilometers.
However, the slogan being chanted now was not by Wang Ye’s group.
As they were about to leave the camp, a clear and spirited slogan could be heard from afar.
Their spirits lifted.
Wang Ye immediately followed the sound and saw a group of people on another road within the camp, also running in full gear.
Wang Ye had excellent vision, and even from a distance of at least a hundred meters, he could clearly see that the group consisted entirely of female soldiers.
Of course, he didn’t need to see them; the sound alone was enough to distinguish them as female soldiers.
“Hehe, are you excited, Wang Ye? Female soldiers, huh? Your battalion doesn’t have any, right?” Qu Shuang chuckled quietly next to him.
“We really don’t!” Wang Ye glanced at him and replied honestly.
The Iron Bones Hero Regiment, including the entire PR department, was made up of males.
To put it bluntly, in the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, if you didn’t leave the camp, the only woman you would encounter was the boss lady of the convenience store.
“Hehe, don’t bother looking. What’s so interesting? These are all tigresses. We have a separate female reconnaissance squad in our battalion, and each one of those female soldiers is tough!”
At this moment, someone from behind whispered, and Wang Ye couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ah!”
He wasn’t surprised that there were female soldiers in the division, but the fact that they were in the reconnaissance unit caught him off guard.
Wow, it was his first time encountering female reconnaissance soldiers in his own division.
“It’s nothing unusual. Female soldiers have their own advantages. Focus on your running!” An Ping, who was in front, turned around and whispered.
Wang Ye fell silent immediately, but as he continued to run, he couldn’t help but cast glances at the female reconnaissance squad on the other side.
Of course, Wang Ye wasn’t thinking anything inappropriate. He wasn’t like the guys from the previous training camp who had spent years in the wilderness and would eagerly approach any woman they saw to catch a whiff of her scent.
Since joining the military, Wang Ye had seen plenty of women, and he often went into town during his time in the training camp.
As for female soldiers, he had even met some from the division’s PR department and even the military PR department.
Wang Ye’s curiosity was now piqued solely by the fact that these female soldiers were reconnaissance troops.
“Fair-skinned, beautiful, and muscular, one punch can dominate the west.”
“Hehe, Wang Ye, don’t keep staring, or they might set their sights on you later. Let me tell you, they love challenging us male soldiers. But when it comes to a real fight, you can’t go all out, while they won’t hold back. So, whoever they target is in for some trouble.”
“That’s right, hurry up, avoid them!”
Private Zhang Zhenfei in front of Wang Ye seemed to have some psychological shadow and quietly urged everyone to run faster.
“Hehe, Wang Ye, are you curious about what they look like now? But I advise you, just forget about it. No matter how pretty they are, they’re not our type. When looking for a girlfriend, it’s better to find someone outside. These players, be careful they don’t use their Capture Fist on you in the middle of the night!”
Up ahead, the squad leader couldn’t help but laugh and give a reminder.
“Alright, stop. Let’s turn back and run!”
At this moment, An Ping ordered.
Because he saw that the other side seemed to have changed their route. If they continued running in their current direction, they would definitely run into each other.
He was feeling a bit apprehensive himself.
Beautiful lips were nice, but it also depended on whether you could handle them.
Obviously, these female reconnaissance soldiers weren’t suitable for everyone.
A touch of red lips isn’t for everyone, and one punch can kill a young man.
The saying that had circulated in the reconnaissance battalion wasn’t without reason.
They turned around and began to run back.
At this moment, Wang Ye really wanted to say, “Are they really that scary?”
“Oh, they ran away!”
“Hmph, a bunch of cowards. Come on, let’s catch up!”
“Let’s go, we haven’t seen Wang Ye yet!”
Among the female soldier squad, as they saw the men turn around and start running, some of them made comments as well.
They hadn’t participated in the division’s martial arts competition.
But they all knew about Wang Ye’s reputation, and when they heard that Wang Ye had come to the division and was in the First Platoon of the Second Company, and they happened to encounter them, they immediately wanted to see Wang Ye in person.
Hmm… it wasn’t about being fangirls; it was just curiosity.
“Why chase after them? We’re here to train. If we run into them, fine, but now that they’ve run away, let it be. Let’s all focus, no more chatting!” At this point, their squad leader shouted sternly.
Although someone had suggested pursuing the First Platoon earlier, she hadn’t refused.
But now, it was clear that the First Platoon was deliberately avoiding them and others. There was no need to chase them.
They were elite female reconnaissance soldiers who were in no way inferior to male soldiers, and they weren’t giggling fangirls..
