I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 70

The intensity of the second week’s training was much higher than the first, causing the students, who had just started to relax, to complain bitterly. Each one of them wished they could return to the days of just standing at attention.

Of course, when the instruction shifted to teaching military boxing and grappling techniques, the students’ interest returned. Both the male and female students displayed great enthusiasm for these practical skills.

“Did you all remember the stances and techniques I just taught?” The instructor was careful not to teach techniques with significant lethality, but he was very earnest in teaching basic self-defense moves that the female students could use, such as how to break free if someone grabs you from behind.

“Instructor, could you demonstrate it one more time, please?” A girl in the front row raised her hand tentatively. “I didn’t quite understand it.”

The instructor felt a bit helpless. Students who could pass the entrance exam for Beijing University’s Law School were all academic elites. Having largely devoted their time to studying, they were relatively weak in terms of physical fitness and combat reactions. Even after a week of training, it was impossible to instantly improve their reaction speed.

“Student Wen, have you learned it?” Since demonstrating alone wasn’t effective, he decided to try with two people. “Will you cooperate with me for a demonstration?”

Wen Yunqing naturally agreed and quickly stepped out of the formation to stand at the front. “Do you need me to play the attacker or the victim?”

“…” The instructor choked for a moment. “The victim, naturally. Stand still, and when I grab you, follow the counterattack I just taught.”

Wen Yunqing nodded and stood with her back to the instructor. As soon as the instructor wrapped his arms around her from behind, she slowed her movements, giving him an elbow strike, and then rapidly lowered her body, habitually following up with a sweeping kick.

Plop. The instructor had only managed to dodge the elbow strike; he hadn’t anticipated the combination attack from Wen Yunqing. He was caught off guard and swept to the ground.

“My apologies, it was habit.” Wen Yunqing looked slightly apologetic and extended her hand to help the instructor up.

The instructor cleared his throat, sprang to his feet with a single motion, and barely managed to save his own dignity. “Student Wen’s reaction and awareness are very good. However, you all just need to learn the first moves; you don’t need to learn the subsequent ones. You wouldn’t be able to execute them.”

“Oh~” Even the girls in the squadron were suppressing laughter after witnessing the instructor fall.

“If the opponent holds your arms, you can use your hips to push back, or you can use your hand to attack their lower body,” the instructor said sternly, trying hard to forget his earlier mishap.

“Instructor, how about you demonstrate it with Student Wen again?” asked the first girl in the second row.

“No, I told you it involves attacking the lower body! If Student Wen really did that, wouldn’t the instructor be finished!” the nearby girl exclaimed, heavily emphasizing the last word.

The instructor’s mouth twitched involuntarily. Did these students think they had become so familiar with him after just a week? Why were they talking with absolutely no filter!

Finally, someone started heckling, and the session devolved into a practical sparring match between the instructor and Wen Yunqing. They quickly formed a circle, giving everyone the best viewing angle for the combat demonstration.

“Student Wen, we’ll keep this light, alright?” the instructor said with a smile, while silently raising his guard to the maximum. Getting caught off guard once was one thing, but in this official confrontation, he certainly couldn’t be defeated by a young woman.

“Understood. I will control my strength,” Wen Yunqing responded with a smile. She then extended her right hand and adopted a simple starting posture. “Instructor, please come.”

“Since you called me instructor, why don’t you make the first move?” The smile quickly vanished from the instructor’s face, replaced by seriousness and vigilance. Wen Yunqing’s current posture looked simple, but it was both offensive and defensive, ready for action at any moment.

“Then I won’t be polite.” Wen Yunqing didn’t waste any time. She swiftly advanced three steps and, without hesitation, aimed a punch straight at the instructor’s nose.

The instructor squatted low, stabilized his body, and attempted to attack Wen Yunqing’s lower base with a direct sweeping kick.

Wen Yunqing lightly tapped her toe, leaped up, and drove her bent knee toward the instructor’s jaw.

How ferocious! The instructor had to execute a forward crouch and a roll to narrowly dodge Wen Yunqing’s attack.

“Student Wen, are you serious about this?” The instructor rotated his shoulder, leaned slightly forward, and adopted an attacking stance, continuously searching for a weakness in Wen Yunqing’s defense.

“For a practical demonstration, of course, I must be serious,” Wen Yunqing flexed her wrist. After taking a slow, deep breath, she continued her fierce assault.

The instructor was, after all, a prospective special forces soldier. He was able to exchange a few blows with Wen Yunqing, preventing her from quickly putting him on the ground.

But exchanging a few blows was all it amounted to. With Wen Yunqing holding back her strength, the two appeared to trade moves, but after about two or three minutes, Wen Yunqing’s offensive finally intensified. She successfully took the instructor down to the ground in three moves.

“Instructor, I win,” Wen Yunqing released her hold and smiled as she stepped aside.

“Student Wen, you are very strong.” Although losing to a student was somewhat embarrassing, the instructor had to admit Wen Yunqing’s prowess. In the last minute, he had essentially used every move he knew, including two lethal finishing moves.

“Then, Instructor, can you make an exception and let me continue to rest on the sidelines?” Wen Yunqing asked.

The instructor nodded. “Yes, your grappling is better than mine; I cannot teach you.”

Afterward, the instructor looked at the students gathered around him watching the show. “Everyone return to your formation! We continue training. When you can beat me, you can also be like Student Wen.”

“Eww—” The surrounding students looked at the instructor with disdain. Wasn’t that unfair bullying? They estimated that Wen Yunqing was probably the only person in the entire Beijing University who could defeat the instructor.

Wen Yunqing found a spot out of the sun and sat down, holding the water bottle she had just bought, leisurely enjoying the view of the company’s military training.

Just as Wen Yunqing thought she could slack off for the rest of the day, several other instructors from different companies walked over with beaming smiles.

“This must be Student Wen. We heard you took down your instructor. We were wondering if you’d be willing to spar with us?”

“I can, but you are not my instructor. If you want to spar with me, there needs to be a small stake,” Wen Yunqing said with a smile.

“We can do that. What stake do you want? We’ll buy you a meal? Or get you some snacks?” Although they were called instructors, these individuals were only a few years older than Wen Yunqing. Besides the supervisors, the instructors were mostly in their early twenties.

“If you lose to me, the five of you can pool your money to buy me a small refrigerator, the kind that can fit in the dorm room,” Wen Yunqing proposed the stake. Her girlfriend was a fan of iced drinks, and a small refrigerator would be convenient.

“Done, we agree.” There were five instructors who had come to challenge her. It was just a small refrigerator; when split among them, it would only be about a hundred dollars each.

Seeing that Wen Yunqing was ready to accept the challenges from the other instructors, the squadron’s instructor stopped teaching self-defense. He motioned to the girls in his company to gather, forming a circle as before, with the challenging instructors and Wen Yunqing enclosed in the center.

“Old Jin, you were laughing at me just now. Don’t you dare lose to my student now,” the instructor cheered happily. He was willing to bet that his five comrades would definitely lose.

The instructor referred to as Old Jin was only twenty-four this year. Aside from his tan, he didn’t look old at all.

Old Jin ignored the banter and adopted a very serious fighting stance. His hands were loosely clenched into fists, and his body was slightly lowered. His taut muscles made him look very much like a leopard ready to spring.

Wen Yunqing also dropped the smile from her face, her eyes showing no contempt. After a ten-second standoff, Wen Yunqing was the first to charge forward.

Straight punch, hook, elbow strike, uppercut, whip kick, flying kick, knee strike… After the two exchanged more than twenty moves, Old Jin was subdued when Wen Yunqing dislocated his shoulder joint.

“I apologize; I didn’t control my strength well.” After the fight ended, Wen Yunqing showed a trace of apology. Old Jin’s attacks were much fiercer than her own instructor’s, giving her a certain sense of crisis, which caused her to lose control of her force.

“No need to apologize. I used my full strength; there’s nothing wrong with you using yours,” Old Jin said, rubbing the shoulder next to his hand, intending to reset it himself.

“Let me do it.” Wen Yunqing stepped forward first and, with a crack, helped him pop the joint back into place. To show her apology, she kept her hand on the joint for a moment, leaving a small amount of spiritual energy there.

Old Jin moved his right shoulder joint around and, finding no ill effects, his eyes looked even brighter as he gazed at Wen Yunqing. “It’s a real shame! Student Wen, if you were to join the military, you would certainly be selected for the special forces!”

“What are you talking about, Old Jin? Student Wen is studying Law. If she becomes a judge, she can still shine and contribute to the country,” another instructor teased.

“Student Wen, is it my turn now?” Although the other four instructors had witnessed her strength during the match between Wen Yunqing and Old Jin, this did not diminish their desire to spar.

It was rare to encounter such a strong opponent; even if they lost, they could still gain something. With a bit of luck, they might even discover their own shortcomings.

Sparring once or five times made little difference to Wen Yunqing. Since she was already warmed up, a few more rounds were fine.

Just like that, while the female company from the Law School watched Wen Yunqing win against five instructors in a row, today’s training came to an end. As they lined up for dinner, the news quickly spread throughout the entire training base.

Since there were no restrictions on mobile phones, Beijing University’s online forum exploded that night. Most freshmen spent the evening posting, bumping posts, and reading threads.

As Wen Yunqing’s name went viral, the photo submitted by Liang Shiyou for the “Most Beautiful Military Trainee” contest was also pushed to the top, with the reply count increasing by several floors with every refresh.

“Holy cow, Wen Yunqing, you’re famous! Most of the forum is now discussing you beating the instructors!” Liang Shiyou held her phone, her eyes wide.

“And the small portion left? What are they discussing?” Wen Yimeng asked curiously.

“The small portion left, hehe, they are discussing the photo I uploaded, arguing whether Wen Yunqing should be named the most beautiful person in military training, or the most handsome person,” Liang Shiyou said, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile.

“In my opinion, there are two people in the picture, aren’t there? You can have one be the most beautiful and the other the most handsome—problem solved!”
