Chapter 107 I Am the Best Detector_1
Atop the training ground, the members of the War Wolf Squad had frog-jumped for more than two laps, each one drenched in sweat, yet no one had fallen behind.
However, their pace had noticeably slowed. What used to be a jump per second had now become one jump every three to four seconds.
The blow Xu Fan had dealt them earlier was not light, every muscle in their bodies was aching. To persist and frog-jump for more than two laps was already close to their limit.
As they jumped, a squad member finally couldn’t endure any longer. After completing the jump, he plopped onto the ground, tongue hanging out, panting like an ox.
“Dongzi, keep it up!”
“Dongzi, catch up!”
“Dongzi, never give up!”
The squad members all encouraged Dongzi.
Dongzi was the very member who had first clashed with Xu Fan. At this moment, he had exhausted all his strength, his thigh muscles hurt so much that they were nearly cramping, leaving him absolutely no energy to jump anymore.
“If you can’t jump, then crawl for five laps! I’m giving you one more chance. Anyone who wants to quit, tell me loudly that you’re not fit to be a member of War Wolf!” Xu Fan coldly told the squad members.
Upon hearing this, Dongzi bit his teeth fiercely, threw himself onto the ground, and slowly started to crawl forward like a clumsy gecko.
Tongtong had initially watched the War Wolf Squad’s training with the attitude of watching a lively event. Now, she noticed that the brothers of War Wolf Squad were training as if their lives didn’t matter, and the commander issuing the orders was her dad, Xu Fan.
“Daddy, Daddy, these big brothers are very tired, let them rest a bit,” Tongtong, with Ben Ben in tow, ran to Xu Fan, tugging at his trouser leg, and pitifully pleaded with him.
“Tongtong, it’s not that Daddy doesn’t want to let them rest, but if they want to improve, they must break through their own limits. Most importantly, I need to truly exhaust their physical capabilities before I can enhance their strength,” Xu Fan explained to Tongtong while patting her little head.
“But these big brothers are really suffering…” Tongtong, looking at the War Wolf Squad members on the ground who were crying out with exertion, showed a pained expression.
“Tongtong, dear, they’re not suffering at all,” Xu Fan said with a smile, stood up, and shouted out loud to the people on the ground, “Are you all suffering?”
“Not suffering…” the squad members replied in a weak and lifeless manner.
“Did you hear that? The big brothers themselves said they’re not suffering. They even think it’s thrilling,” Xu Fan craftily told Tongtong.
“Alright then,” Tongtong pursed her lips, feeling something was amiss but unable to figure it out, so she decided not to think about it anymore. Flicking her ponytail, she continued to play with Ben Ben.
“Report to Instructor Xu! War Wolf Squad member, Hao Bei requests to rejoin the squad!” Xiao Bei ran over from the medical building upstairs, excitedly addressing Xu Fan.
His expression was excited, and his eyes were filled with gratitude. The tone in which he spoke to Xu Fan was also filled with respect.
“Get back to training!” Instructor Xu said expressionlessly, pointing towards the training ground.
“Got it!” Xiao Bei didn’t take offense at all.
Although Instructor Xu appeared cold, his heart was warm. With just one intervention, he had cured his injured leg. If scolding could heal injuries, Xiao Bei would rather have Xu Fan scold him with a cold face every day.
The crowd was surprised to see the lively and bouncing Xiao Bei.
“Damn, Xiao Bei, how come you’ve come back to life?”
“Dammit, I was alive to begin with.”
“I mean how did your leg get better? Didn’t the doctor say you needed at least three months before you could stand?”
“It was Instructor Xu. I don’t know what method he used, but after a night’s sleep, he healed my leg.”
“Damn, Instructor Xu is really something else, turning a disabled person back into a normal one in just a short time!”
“Dammit, who are you calling a disabled person, you big bear!”
“Haha, misunderstanding, I was just making a metaphor, you know what a metaphor is, right?”
“No wonder Instructor Xu is so tough, let’s all work hard, even if we get injured during the training it’s no problem, Instructor Xu knows how to heal, he can fix it in no time.”
“Crap, what if his magic doesn’t work on me, this old Xu is quite crafty, I still don’t trust him!”
“Silver Fox! From now on, you’re not allowed to speak ill of Instructor Xu. He personally healed my leg, it’s absolutely true!”
“Man, you haven’t been hit by him, you don’t know how hard his punches are!”
“I don’t care, from now on, Instructor Xu is my idol!”
In the War Wolf Squad, Xiao Bei turned into Zhuge Liang, engaging in a fierce battle of wits, and incredibly rekindled the weary team members’ spirit to continue with the training.
At that time, Su Jingfeng and Zhao Xiaoqing also came out from the infirmary and arrived at the training field.
Seeing Xiao Bei had just come out of the infirmary and plunged into the training, Zhao Xiaoqing’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper.
By then, Zhao Xiaoqing had taken off her mask, revealing a face that could be charming or delightful, and though her figure was wrapped in a loose white nurse’s uniform, the sight of her slender and enticing legs in white stockings beneath the hem of her dress was captivating.
Zhao Xiaoqing belonged to that kind of beauty with an ancient charm, capable of rivalling the period-costume beauties from Zhonghai City’s Xinghai Media—Xu Xinxin.
Although Xu Xinxin was beautiful, she had a hint of worldliness about her; Zhao Xiaoqing was different. Not only did she look innocent, but she also had a touch of the capriciousness of an ancient rich young lady, with a temperament that in no way conceded to Xu Xinxin.
Xu Fan looked at Zhao Xiaoqing walking over with her eyebrows furrowed and could not help but have a strange expression. Why wasn’t this little nurse staying in the infirmary? Instead, she followed them here.
Consequently, Xu Fan gave Su Jingfeng a sideways glance and shot him a warning look.
Su Jingfeng waved his hand, indicating that he was helpless.
“Instructor Xu, I don’t care when you came here, or how high your rank is, but I won’t allow you to throw my patient into dangerous training without certainty. If something happens to the patient, can you take the responsibility?” Zhao Xiaoqing said furiously, her large eyes brimming with righteousness.
“Of course I can take that responsibility,” Xu Fan answered with a slight smile, as if it were a matter of course.
“Uhh…” Zhao Xiaoqing was at a loss for words, this annoying instructor just wouldn’t play by the rules.
“Responsibility isn’t something you can shirk with just words. If something happens to Xiao Bei’s leg, none of us can take the responsibility. Therefore, before a full examination of Xiao Bei’s body is conducted, I must send the patient back for a complete set of diagnostic procedures. Only after confirming that there are no problems can he continue with the training. Xiao Bei has already been injured once, and under no circumstance can we allow him to be injured a second time,” Zhao Xiaoqing spoke earnestly to Xu Fan.
After hearing Zhao Xiaoqing’s words, Xu Fan nodded slightly in his heart. Although Zhao Xiaoqing was a bit fierce in her speech, she was indeed taking responsibility for the well-being of the team members, which was commendable. However, Xu Fan had absolute confidence in his medical skills—as far as he was concerned, not only was Xiao Bei’s body fully recovered, but it was actually even stronger than before. To him, the check was purely a waste of time.
“I am the best diagnostic tool!” Xu Fan spoke out, saying it casually.
“Pssh! You think I’d believe that?” Zhao Xiaoqing snorted coldly, cocking her head in disdain at Xu Fan’s words.
“How about I diagnose you, then? If I get it right, it proves my judgment is valid. I say Xiao Bei has no problems, then he has no problems!” Xu Fan said calmly.
“Fine, let’s see just how capable you really are. Our infirmary’s five-million-worth medical equipment doesn’t dare to claim it can detect all the problems!” Zhao Xiaoqing felt a bit of pride upon hearing Xu Fan’s words.
Actually, she had suffered from an extremely rare disease since she was a child. That’s why she had dreamed of studying medicine from a young age. However, due to various coincidences, she didn’t become a doctor but a nurse instead.
Her condition was so rare that even after visiting countless famous hospitals in Yan Country, no one could diagnose her condition until she went abroad at the age of eighteen. Only three machines in the whole world could detect her disease, and not one was in Yan Country.
Xu Fan was walking himself into a dead end.
Zhao Xiaoqing crossed her arms and stared fiercely at Xu Fan, absolutely certain that there was no way he could detect her hidden condition.
