Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 4)

Chapter 680 - Military Instructor

"Didn't you already advance to a Sword Saint? You should examine yourself closer. You might make some astonishing discoveries," Xiao Yu remarked.

Lei Su gazed at Xiao Yu with a look of doubt, then sank into deep thought. It would explain why Mo Yuntian confirmed with Nie Yan he was a Shadow Dancer before asking him to train these aces.

"Have you heard of the Shadow Dancer Mech Suit?" Xiao Yu asked.

"The latest dexterity-type mech suit? Isn't that still in development? Only a concept model was shown. That kind of bleeding edge technology is off-limits, unless you're an ace mech pilot in the army. It's forever out of reach to plebeians like us. I haven't even gotten near a current model mech suit, let alone touch one," Lei Su gloomily said. Mech suits were usually found in military bases or warships in outer space. Ordinary people could only watch videos about them online.

"I heard there are other powerful models, such as Sword Saint, Archbishop, and Magister Mech Suits." Xiao Yu mysteriously smiled, providing no further comment. He returned his attention to the match between Nie Yan and Wang Duo.

"Are you saying..." Lei Su's mind trembled. Xiao Yu had just dropped a bomb on him. The dots finally connected in his mind.

It hadn't been long since Lei Su completed his class advancement quest. His grasp of a Sword Saint barely scratched the surface. However, after becoming one, he could feel a brand new world opening up to him. His future growth potential was unlimited.

"It all makes sense now!" Lei Su said in a rare eureka moment, clenching his fists. He had finally found his path forward. Only after truly comprehending the essence of a Sword Saint would he grow stronger.

"It's best if you ask Nie Yan for some guidance. Mech pilots have a saying, The melding of mind and body can evoke miraculous strength. Those who can tap into this power will grow incredibly strong. Nie Yan has probably grasped a bit of this feeling," Xiao Yu said. This was likely the real reason Mo Yuntian wanted him in Heavenly Kings. Nie Yan really was blessed with luck. With Mo Yuntian's backing, he could pretty much do anything he wanted in China.

Regarding this sort of complicated science, Lei Su felt his head spinning. However, it was true he should ask Nie Yan for guidance.

Seeing the match go on for so long without a clear victor in sight, the 30 or so other soldiers started seeing Nie Yan in a new light. Wang Duo was undoubtedly the strongest among them. In a one-on-one fight, none of them were his match. Yet Nie Yan was going toe-to-toe with this very same person and even more so maintaining a slight advantage! Combine this with his young age, and they were completely convinced of his ability. One of the good points of army men were that they were straightforward. They respected the strong. Nie Yan had proven he was qualified to be their instructor.

As Lei Su and the others conversed, the match was entering its climax.

Wang Duo launched off the ground with a flying side kick toward Nie Yan's head, his leg sweeping up a powerful gust of wind.

Nie Yan stepped to the side and raised his arm to block. BANG! He skidded several steps back. His heart tightened. Wang Duo's kick was extremely powerful! Seeing Wang Duo pounce forward in pursuit, he didn't dare to dally and ducked to the side.

Wang Duo didn't stop his assault. He launched another flying kick, this time aiming for Nie Yan's head.

Seeing Wang Duo's continuous chain of kicks, the other aces broke out in a cold sweat. They had sparred with Wang Duo before and knew just how frightening his kicks were. Many of his opponents had their necks snapped in half by them. And right now, since the fight had reached its crucial phase, he was going all out. If an accident were to occur, the consequences would be grave.
