Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"People like him felt different about the army." Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi. He was the same; his feelings for the army were no less than his feelings for her.

Well, in other words, he valued the army more.

He was very swift with his words. Lu Xingzhi glanced at the clock before leaving Jiang Yao alone. He did not let Jiang Yao go to the front to watch his match because he knew she had excellent eyesight.

In the first preliminary match, Lu Xingzhi did not go up against Shao Fucheng. Instead, he went up against Shao Fu Cheng's subordinate. When the soldier saw Lu Xingzhi, he frowned and thought, 'What bad luck!' He was pitted against the renowned Hades Lu in the first round.

Other people did not know Lu Xingzhi's capability, but he knew. He had seen Hades Lu's skills with his own eyes during the drill back then.

If not for his fear of losing dignity, he would have directly forfeited the match.

People who had been conversing and not paying attention to the match instantly surrounded the center as soon as Lu Xingzhi went onto the stage. The majority of them were army troops.

"Colonel! You can do it!" Xiao Shan's voice was so loud that even Jiang Yao, who was sitting at the water station, could hear it clearly without using her special ability.

Even though Jiang Yao could see the stage, she could not feel the exciting atmosphere. After sitting for a while, Jiang Yao could not sit still anymore. She carried the bottle and walked forward.

"Mrs. Lu! Mrs. Lu!" When Xiao Shan and the others saw Jiang Yao, they immediately made a path for Jiang Yao. Then, a few young men surrounded Jiang Yao to protect her. "Mrs. Lu, wait and see how our team leader will kill everyone! He will be able to take that weak opponent down in a few moves!"

Lu Xingzhi used a shoulder throw to lift and toss his opponent to the ground, presumably to validate Xiao Shan's comments. He did not give his opponent a chance to fight back. Instead, he used his knee to force his opponent to the ground.

"The opponent is too weak. There's nothing to see." Xiao Shan explained to Jiang Yao like a live commentator. "That person's arm and leg strength are too weak, and he has no tension. I think he had given up when he realized he had to go against Colonel Lu. He must have felt discouraged, so he was a little absent-minded when fighting. He just wants to finish the match."

"With a match like that, even if they don't die, they'd be so embarrassed!"

The person beside Xiao Shan laughed out loud. "Colonel Lu will skin us alive."

Jiang Yao pressed her lips so that her smile was not too noticeable. Lu Xingzhi must have known what was happening with his opponent, so he pulled him up. Then, he said coldly, "Stand up and start over. This is a competition. Why are you retreating before you even start? Will you do the same on the battlefield?"

Lu Xingzhi would always be serious in any competition, regardless of his opponent. He believed in having the right spirit for the competition. That kind of attitude was only fair for him and his opponent.

Xiao Shan watched as the competition resumed. He turned around and said to Jiang Yao, "Colonel Lu is so infuriating. He is unhappy that someone lost to him once; he had to make them lose the second time. If I were that person, I would probably be so angry that I would want to kill myself."
