Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

"Stop joking, Deng Zhuoyi!" Liu Miaomiao gently patted the girl who was joking, but judging from the look in her eyes, she was clearly embarrassed.

The two laughed and joked for a while before stopping. Deng Zhuoyi, the girl who had been egging them on, straightened her slightly disheveled clothes and suddenly said to Lu Mingfei:

"Squad leader, speaking of which, we do actually need something."

Please add the word "agent" to my name!

"what?"

"I've finished my water." Deng Zhuoyi picked up the empty plastic bottle in her hand.

The instructors had given each of the girls a bottle of water, but it was so hot that they drank it all in no time.

However, the lack of water wasn't just a problem for the girls; the boys also didn't have any water to drink.

Lu Mingfei nodded and was about to go back to call the two boys to help him move water when he turned around and saw the instructor chatting and laughing with Chen Wenwen.

The instructor also intentionally or unintentionally steered the conversation toward QQ, talking about his QQ pet that he had raised to level 35, and then about QQ Show, clearly trying to get Chen Wenwen's QQ number.

Chen Wenwen, on the other hand, dodged the question like a tai chi master. She kept talking about the topic but didn't reveal a single detail, giving the instructor no chance to find out her QQ number.

Although Chen Wenwen continued to smile and agree with the instructor on the surface, Lu Mingfei could tell that Chen Wenwen was already getting annoyed.

Lu Mingfei's eyes darted around, and he walked behind the instructor, gently patting his shoulder.

The instructor was flirting with a girl when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, startling him. He turned around and was met with Lu Mingfei's nonchalant face.

Being interrupted while you're happily flirting with a girl would annoy anyone. However, the instructor knew that Lu Mingfei was the acting squad leader, so he suppressed his annoyance and put on a friendly face.

"What's wrong, classmate?"

"Hello, Instructor Zhang." Lu Mingfei smiled and saluted, then said, "The girls and boys are out of water, and I'd like to buy two cases of water, but I can't carry them all by myself, so I'd like to ask you for a favor."

The instructor could have easily refused Lu Mingfei's request. After all, any two boys could have easily gone; there was no need to ask the instructor.

But Lu Mingfei knew the instructor would agree, because Chen Wenwen was right there. If the instructor didn't even help with something this small, wouldn't he seem petty?

Sure enough, although the instructor looked somewhat reluctant, he still stood up and said, "No problem, I'll go with you."

……

Watching Lu Mingfei and the instructor's figures gradually disappear into the distance, Chen Wenwen's polite smile slowly vanished. She let out a long sigh, but her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Although she had been chatting and laughing with the instructor, some of the instructor's very approachable questions had actually made Chen Wenwen feel a little uncomfortable.

For example, asking her if she's dating anyone, and wanting to find out her contact information.

Girls, especially delicate and sensitive girls like Chen Wenwen, are very sensitive to distance. Asking personal questions before you're familiar with someone can significantly lower your chances of making a good impression on them.

only……

As Chen Wenwen watched Lu Mingfei's figure disappear around the corner of the teaching building and head towards the convenience store, a certain feeling welled up and down in her heart.

Did he sense that he was uncomfortable, and that's why he deliberately called the instructor away?

No, no, how could he have noticed? He was talking to Liu Miaomiao the whole time and didn't look in my direction at all.

It's probably just a coincidence...

……

A case of bottled water isn't actually that heavy; any teenage boy could lift it. However, the distance from the convenience store to the training ground is still quite far.

Carrying a case of bottled water over, while not enough to leave one breathless, still made one's breathing somewhat rapid.

After placing a bottle of mineral water next to the assembly point of Class 2, Grade 1, the instructor wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to look at Lu Mingfei, and was taken aback.

How come this kid's breathing is even more steady than mine?

……

Moving just one case of water shouldn't be too tiring for Lu Mingfei. These days, he moves a case of water like it's a steamed bun. He could easily move two cases by himself.

Lu Mingfei only called the instructor to avoid drawing attention and to get the instructor away from Chen Wenwen.

After moving the water, the rest time for Class 2 of Grade 1 was almost over.

Although the instructor really wanted to chat with Chen Wenwen again, he couldn't give Class 1(2) too much rest, as this had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the instructors from other classes.

Damn it, he felt he was so close, just a tiny bit more, to getting Chen Wenwen's QQ number.

But he was interrupted by the oblivious class monitor.

As soon as the instructor blew his whistle, everyone stood up from under the shade of the trees and leisurely gathered together.

The instructor's gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on Lu Mingfei, who was standing at the very end of the line.

"Next, we'll be training in the horse stance." The instructor cleared his throat and then said in a loud voice, "The horse stance is the most basic exercise in stance training. The proper posture is: chest out, head up, back straight, abdomen in, and knees at a 90-degree angle..."

In fact, military training does not require practicing the horse stance at all; it was added by the instructors on the spot.

The instructor explained the key points while demonstrating the movements himself, then called on students by name:

"Squad leader, step forward!"

Lu Mingfei didn't expect the instructor to call on him suddenly, but he still quickly answered, "Here!"

Then he jogged away from the formation.

"I just demonstrated it once, now please have the class monitor demonstrate it once as I just did."

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that the instructor was retaliating for interrupting his conversation with Chen Wenwen.

Isn't that incredibly petty?

However, practicing horse stance was nothing to Lu Mingfei, but he wasn't going to just obediently put up with it.

"Instructor, I'm sorry, I was standing at the back of the crowd and didn't see your movements very clearly. Could you please demonstrate them again?" Lu Mingfei said.

The instructor frowned: "You need to concentrate when demonstrating the movements. This is a one-time exception."

As he spoke, he demonstrated the horse stance again.

Just as he squatted down to practice his stance, preparing to ask Lu Mingfei if he could see it clearly now, he saw Lu Mingfei squat down in front of him at the same time, also adopting a standard horse stance.

……

"What happened in the class next door? Why are so many people gathered around watching?"

"I don't know, shall we go and take a look?"

“I just went over and took a look. It looks like a student is practicing horse stance with the instructor.”

The instructor hadn't expected that he had only intended to demonstrate the horse stance once and, incidentally, give Lu Mingfei a little slap on the wrist.

But somehow it turned into this situation.

At first, when he saw Lu Mingfei squatting down in front of him, he couldn't help but sneer. He also wanted to show off his physical strength, so he started doing a horse stance with Lu Mingfei.

Unexpectedly, Lu Mingfei's stamina far exceeded his expectations. He stood under the sun for ten minutes without even turning red or panting.

As the surrounding classes also entered their break time, many nosy students gradually gathered around, and then the rumor spread that "the class monitor of Grade 1 (2) is competing with the instructor in horse stance".

Even instructors from other classes gathered around to watch the spectacle.

"..."

The instructor was cursing under his breath, thinking, "Who the hell is spreading these rumors?"

He originally intended to stand up and praise Lu Mingfei's good physical fitness, encouraging everyone to learn from him, and also to save face for himself.

Now that things have turned out this way, even though his legs are weak, his back aches, and his eyelashes are covered in sweat dripping down his forehead, he can only grit his teeth and keep going with Lu Mingfei.

Although I'm tired, that kid must be having an even harder time.

As the instructor thought this, he glanced at Lu Mingfei across from him.

Then, in an instant, his Dao heart shattered.

Seeing Lu Mingfei standing there for so long without blushing or panting, except for slightly rapid breathing, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but whisper to Liu Miaomiao, who was standing in front of her:

"Was Lu Mingfei this healthy back in junior high school?"

"I don't know." Liu Miaomiao shook her head gently. She was also somewhat surprised by Lu Mingfei's physical fitness. "I remember he barely passed his physical education exam in middle school?"

"You barely passed your physical education exam, really?"

中考男生1000米跑的满分成绩是3分27秒，及格只需要4分33秒。二者可相差甚远。

An average middle school boy can run it in under 4 minutes. Only boys with really poor physical fitness will struggle to even pass the test.

But looking at Lu Mingfei's relaxed and carefree expression after holding the horse stance for half an hour, he doesn't seem to have any poor physical fitness at all.

Wait……!

Su Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered what Lu Mingfei had said to her at the Aspasia restaurant yesterday.

……

"Don't you know that boys are generally late bloomers? Maybe after I get to high school, my inner energy will be unlocked, and my grades will suddenly surpass yours."

……

Su Xiaoqiang looked past the crowd at Lu Mingfei, her heart pounding with nervousness.

broken!

Could he have actually unlocked his full potential?!

Su Xiaoqiang's heart was pounding, and she was still wondering what she would do if she really lost to Lu Mingfei in the entrance exam, when she heard someone shout from the crowd:

"The instructor has fainted from heatstroke!"

I fell asleep at my desk halfway through writing last night, so I quickly finished and posted it when I woke up tonight. This chapter is a make-up of yesterday's. I'll add an extra chapter this weekend as compensation.

Chapter 94 "Jiangnan"

Instructor Zhang's fainting was not entirely due to heatstroke. Although his physical condition was not particularly outstanding, he could still hold a horse stance for another ten minutes or so.

The main problem was that when he was already at his limit, he saw that Lu Mingfei across from him was still so calm. He felt a surge of frustration that he couldn't get over, and coupled with his physical exhaustion, he suddenly fainted.

Lu Mingfei only wanted to test the instructor's arrogance, he never expected to make the instructor faint from the exertion, and in the end, he was the one who carried the instructor into the school clinic.

The news that "the class monitor of Class 2, Grade 1, sparred with the instructor during military training and knocked the instructor unconscious" spread like wildfire throughout the entire Grade 11 class of Shilan Middle School.

Many cute girls in camouflage uniforms secretly ran to the camp of Class 2, Grade 1 during the break from military training, wanting to see who this high school student who could beat the instructor was.
