Chapter 30 Ye Feng is actually an instructor
Military headquarters parade ground.
Today is exceptionally lively because it's the day of the first-year students' trial at Jiangcheng Martial Arts University.
On the edge of the playground, many parents came to see their children off, reluctantly telling them, "Be careful" and "Pay close attention to safety."
The freshmen gathered in twos and threes; some were nervous, some were excited, and some looked indifferent.
A girl stood at the edge of the crowd, looking around anxiously.
She is Lin Ruoxi, one of Ye Feng's few friends at Wuhan University.
She was very conflicted.
She was both afraid that Ye Feng would come to participate in the trial and die, and worried that if he didn't come, the department head would make things difficult for him.
Not participating in the trial could land you in a military court.
Not far away, several classmates huddled together, their faces beaming with schadenfreude.
"Would Ye Feng really dare to come?"
"If you don't come, you'll be court-martialed; if you do come, you'll be sent to the vanguard suicide squad. Either way, you're doomed."
"Tsk, who told him to be so arrogant and offend Young Master Li?"
They laughed easily, completely unaware that they were the ones making a fool of themselves.
Several well-informed students were also whispering about what happened last night.
"Have you heard? There was big news in Jiangcheng last night. A young man killed a fourth-tier hunter named Wolf Butcher and was taken away by the Night Watch."
"I've heard about it too. A few days ago, there were supposedly unusual energy fluctuations at the low-rent housing area. It's said to be caused by an orange-level awakened individual, a genius that comes along only once in a century."
"We'll never meet someone like that in our lifetime, and we'd never even know whose child they are."
As they were talking, the crowd suddenly fell silent for a moment.
A black figure walked in from the entrance of the playground.
Ye Feng, dressed in a black combat uniform, stood tall and walked with a steady gait.
There was a moment of silence in the crowd, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha, look what Ye Feng is wearing! Is it the same combat uniform as the Night Watchmen?"
"Does he really think he's joined the Night's Watch? Doesn't he realize he's just cannon fodder?"
"Does he really think he's still the same purple-level prodigy he used to be?"
"What are you pretending for! You were kicked out of the Ye family and now you're living in a low-rent apartment. Maybe those clothes are rented."
Several classmates who had been gloating just moments before burst into laughter.
However, some observant people noticed some details.
A student standing at the back of the crowd narrowed his eyes and whispered to the person next to him, "That combat uniform is the standard equipment of the Night Watch Vanguard Battalion, not the fakes you see on the black market."
"And the badge on his chest, it's the rank of major."
The person next to him gasped, "Impossible! How old is he?"
The student shook his head and didn't say anything more, but the way he looked at Ye Feng had changed.
At the other end of the playground, several students who held some status in Jiangcheng also recognized Ye Feng.
Although not many people know about what happened last night, their parents happen to have some inside information.
The genius boy who was picked up last night was Ye Feng.
"Stop laughing," someone whispered to their companion.
"What's wrong?"
"That Ye Feng... is probably the one who killed the fourth-tier hunter Wolf Butcher last night."
The laughter stopped abruptly.
But most people are unaware of these inside details.
They were still whispering among themselves, waiting to see Ye Feng make a fool of himself.
Ye Feng glanced at these people, a slight smile playing on his lips, completely unconcerned.
His gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on a familiar figure.
Lin Ruoxi was standing not far away, looking at him with a worried expression.
Ye Feng walked over: "Ruoxi, what are you looking at?"
Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, looked him up and down several times, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was Ye Feng himself.
She was very beautiful, at least a nine out of ten, and her face was full of worry.
"Ye Feng, are you really alright? You really came?" She lowered her voice. "I heard you went to the Night Watch Vanguard Camp. It's too dangerous there. You shouldn't have come to participate in the trial."
"Even if they face a military court, at least they're still alive. As long as the green hills remain, there's always hope."
"I'm fine," Ye Feng interrupted her, his tone very calm.
Lin Ruoxi was about to say something when she was interrupted by a burst of shrill laughter.
"Hey, isn't this Ye Feng? You actually dared to come?"
Several figures swayed over, led by Liu Kai and Zhang Hao, Ye Feng's "old acquaintances" from Wuhan University, as well as the department head Wang Dehou.
Liu Kai looked Ye Feng up and down in his combat uniform, clicking his tongue in admiration: "This uniform is nice. How much does it cost to rent it for a day? Do you want me to reimburse you?"
Zhang Hao chimed in, "He's a big shot going to the Night's Watch Vanguard, we can't afford to mess with him, hahaha."
Wang Dehou pushed up his glasses and said with a forced smile, "Ye Feng, since you're here, participate in the trial properly."
"However, I must remind you that the instructors for the trial were brought in from the Night Watch. Don't be arrogant like before, or you'll embarrass our Martial Arts University."
The three of them chatted amongst themselves, waiting to see Ye Feng make a fool of himself.
The surrounding students also gathered around, many of them waiting to see what would happen.
Ye Feng slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at Wang Dehou.
His gaze was calm, as calm as if he were looking at three dead people.
"Are you finished speaking?"
Wang Dehou was taken aback.
Ye Feng didn't say another word and turned to walk towards the center of the playground.
Liu Kai shouted from behind, "What are you pretending for? Wait until the instructors come, then we'll see how you keep up the act!"
He stopped mid-sentence.
Because in the center of the parade ground, the military commander had already come to greet them.
A middle-aged man in military uniform strode up to Ye Feng, stood at attention, and saluted.
"Instructor Ye, you've arrived. The trial procedures have been arranged, and we're just waiting for you to preside over it."
The playground fell silent instantly.
A deathly silence.
Liu Kai's mouth was still open, and the smile on his face froze into a comical arc.
Zhang Hao's eyes widened, unable to believe what he had just heard.
Wang Dehou's face turned pale instantly.
"Teach...instructor?"
"Is Ye Feng an instructor?"
The surrounding students erupted in uproar.
Those who were just mocking Ye Feng were now as if someone had grabbed them by the throat, unable to utter a single word.
Those who already knew Ye Feng's identity wore expressions of "I knew it," and looked at Liu Kai and his companions with a hint of sympathy.
Lin Ruoxi covered her mouth, her eyes slightly red.
She finally understood why Ye Feng said, "Don't worry."
It wasn't because he was showing off, but because he had become so strong that he didn't need to care about these people anymore.
"Has Ye Feng already recovered from his injuries? And even broken through to the Martial Artist level? He's already joined the Night Watch and become an instructor for this trial!"
Li Ruoxi couldn't see through Ye Feng at this moment.
Ye Feng nodded to the military leader, then turned around and looked at everyone on the parade ground.
His gaze finally settled on Liu Kai, Zhang Hao, and Wang Dehou.
The three men froze, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.
Ye Feng didn't say much, but simply withdrew his gaze and walked towards the command platform in the center of the playground.
Some things don't need to be said on the spot.
It's more interesting to let those people live in fear than to slap them.
Besides
He is now an instructor.
These three people.
Two are students undergoing trials, and one is the supervising teacher. It's easy to cause them some trouble during their trials in the wilderness.
On the parade ground, the military commander began reading out the trial rules.
"This trial is under the full command of Major Ye Feng of the elite squad of the Night Watch Vanguard Battalion. All participants must obey the instructors' orders; those who disobey will be dealt with according to military law."
Wang Dehou's legs were shaking.
He finally realized that the person he had just mocked was no longer the student he could manipulate at will, but a major who could decide the fate of anyone in this trial.
"Luckily, I was the teacher in charge, otherwise that little bastard Ye Feng would have tormented me to death!"
"I just don't understand why Ye Feng became an instructor for this trial? Could he really be that young prodigy from yesterday?"
"No way! I asked Principal Li! He said no!"
Department Head Wang was still secretly speculating, unaware that the Li family he mentioned had already given up on him.
They had long ago abandoned him as a pawn.
Liu Kai and Zhang Hao looked at each other, their faces ashen.
Ye Feng stood on the command platform, looking down at the hundreds of freshmen below.
His gaze was calm and still, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"I am Ye Feng, the instructor for this trial."
"The rules are simple: obey my orders and survive the beasts' jaws."
Ye Feng has received the mission and destination for this trial.
That is to go to Fortress No. 3, which is 15 kilometers outside Jiangcheng City.
"Ten-minute break, then get in the car and head to Fortress Three!"
