Wife is Fierce, Don’t Mess With Her!-Chapter 71: Duel (3)

On the other hand, Yu Bao’er who returned to the squad, cast a happy glance at Gu Qingjiu.

With pursed lips, Gu Qingjiu’s gaze swept over her.

Yu Bao’er’s performance made her highly satisfied.

“Next pair: Ji Ruoqing and Hu Zhixuan.”

Chen Haoyang announced the next pair who would duel with each other.

For recruits in their first month, girls would go up against girls.

But later on, guys and girls would take part in mixed-gender duels.

In the army, they simply didn’t care if there’s a natural disparity in physiques or stamina between a man and a woman.

Furthermore, there were plenty of women who were stronger than men in the military.

Of course, to the guys, it was embarrassing enough if a girl were to defeat them.

But those were things that only happen as they continue.

Jiang Yu was the most outstanding one among the girls.

Duels generally went on for a rather long time, unless one had nimble reflexes and was talented in that area.

Jiang Yu was that sort of person. With two or three moves, she defeated the opponent and was not at all dilly dally like the others. Naturally, she attracted many admiring looks.

In Gu Qingjiu’s class, there weren’t many girls, to begin with. Hence shortly after, it was her turn.

She and another girl were the last pair.

“Come out, Gu Qingjiu and Xie Ya!”

Gu Qingjiu and the other girl stepped out immediately.

Gu Qingjiu rarely interacted with the other recruits, so she didn’t quite understand their temperaments.

But Gu Qingjiu knew Xie Ya. The latter had kept a bob style of hair even from before, and the delicate-looking girl seemed to have a quiet demeanor—she didn’t look that intimidating.

Among the recruits, she kept a rather low profile.

And she seemed to get along pretty well with Jiang Yu and the rest.

Xie Ya entered the duel arena, a glint flashing by in her eyes.

Although Xie Ya didn’t appear to be outstanding, she was in fact even stronger than Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu knew about Xie Ya and admired this quiet-looking girl. She knew that Xie Ya only chose to come here because of family reasons and that she worked hard during training, unlike Gu Qingjiu and those who liked to show off.

Gu Qingjiu, on the other hand, had no idea that Jiangsu labeled her as a showoff.

Since no one was allowed to speak, Yu Bao’er simply mouthed the words ‘go for it’ to Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu didn’t see that, though.

Because at that moment, she focused her eyes on Xie Ya.

Xie Ya suddenly smiled at Gu Qingjiu. It was as if they were practicing taekwondo; she bent over and bowed at Gu Qingjiu.

Only

Gu Qingjiu paused in surprise, then bowed at Xie Ya, too.

There was a deep and meaningful glance in Xie Ya’s eyes as she gazed over at Gu Qingjiu.

“Start!”

However, the instant Chen Haoyang declared to start, the look in Xie Ya’s eyes changed.

That moment, she seemed to exude an intense murderous aura, like a leopard revealing its sharp claws after waiting for its prey on the grassland. She attacked Gu Qingjiu with insane speed.

Gu Qingjiu was astonished.

Xie Ya’s actions were so swift that she didn’t look like someone who had just learned how to fight.

Her attack was vigorous and aggressive, her fist going straight for Gu Qingjiu’s face. Gu Qingjiu quickly reacted and turned her body sideways, narrowly dodging the attack. She could even sense a fiery gust of wind as Xie Ya’s fist grazed past the side of her face.
