We agreed on mecha combat, so what the hell is this about your physical body exploding into a planet

They looked at Ye Yan.

I never expected that this seemingly weak freshman captain would have such strength.

He was able to pin the dark-skinned man's head to the ground with one hand, like pinning an ant.

This completely overturned their expectations.

Hey, hey, hey, they're all mech pilots!

Why is this guy so strong and fast?

They're just like those brainless martial artists!

"Hehe, you guys seem to have a lot of opinions."

Ye Yan raised his head, glanced around at the people around him, and wore a harmless smile.

"Then let me see if you're qualified to offer any opinions."

"You bunch of useless trash!"

"ha?!"

Hearing Ye Yan's provocative words, everyone's anger surged.

They were admitted to top universities in the four major war zones, and could be considered geniuses by their own standards.

How could I possibly stand it?

"Damn, so arrogant!"

"superior!"

Several people rushed forward at the same time.

"Oh"

Ye Yan released the hand that was holding the dark-skinned man and stood up.

His movements were slow and unhurried, as if he were taking a walk.

"Too slow"

The first person who rushed up was kicked away before he could even touch the hem of his clothes.

The second person swung his fist, but Ye Yan dodged to the side, grabbed his wrist, and twisted it.

Click.

The man screamed and fell to his knees.

A third person pounced on Ye Yan from behind, trying to hug her.

Without even turning his head, Ye Yan delivered an elbow strike, hitting the man squarely in the chest.

The man flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the tent and causing it to collapse.

Ten seconds or so.

The four people fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Upon seeing this, Tang Xin, the remaining woman, immediately put on a pitiful and helpless expression.

"Big brother, you wouldn't bully a cute girl..."

Snapped!

Before she could finish speaking, a fist the size of a sandbag was slammed into her face.

"You talk too much nonsense!"

Ye Yan dusted off his hands and put on his harmless smile again.

"Who else?"

No one answered.

Ye Yan looked at Su Wanqing, who was huddled to the side.

"No, don't."

Knowing Ye Yan's strength from the beginning, Su Wanqing had kept to herself in a corner.

But he was afraid that Ye Yan would retaliate against him, so he was constantly on edge.

Adding to the violent scene she had just witnessed, she recalled the moment Chen Tianhao was strangled to death.

Upon seeing Ye Yan looking at her, Su Wanqing was so frightened that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

In an instant, the area in front of the tent became as quiet as a graveyard.

Snapped!

Ye Yan slapped Su Wanqing's breasts.

However, there was no response.

"Did she really faint?"

Ye Yan scoffed, unsure of what to say.

It feels pretty good.

This scene left the battalion commander, who was watching from a short distance away, utterly speechless.

Can you do this?

. . .

Ye Yan walked to the tent, picked up a fairly flat stone, and sat down.

He looked at the "problem children" who were lying or sitting, and then spoke.

"I know you're not convinced. You're not convinced that I'm a freshman, that I'm the team leader, that I'm better than you."

No one speaks.

"But what if you're not satisfied? What does that have to do with me?"

Ye Yan tilted his head.

"I'm the team leader, this is a decision from above. If you're not satisfied, you can appeal to higher-ups. Until your appeal is successful..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

"I'm in charge."

The dark-skinned man got up from the ground, rubbed his face which had been pressed so hard, and glared at Ye Yan.

"you"

"What's your name?" Ye Yan asked, looking at him.

"What's it to you?"

Ye Yan stood up.

The dark-skinned man instinctively took a step back.

"Liu... Liu Mang," he finally said.

"Liu Mang," Ye Yan repeated, "You want to be the captain?"

Liu Mang gritted his teeth and did not answer.

"You want to be the captain? Fine," Ye Yan said. "Beat me, and you can be the captain."

Liu Mang looked at Ye Yan, at the scars on his body that hadn't fully healed, and at the faint expression in his eyes, as if he were watching a child misbehave.

He suddenly realized that this person was unlike anyone else he had ever met.

It's not because he's strong.

It's not because he doesn't care.

He didn't care about the captain's position, whether others respected him or not, or whether the suicide squad was cannon fodder or a graveyard.

He didn't come here to be the captain.

He did it to kill the abyssal demons.

Kill all the abyssal monsters.

His parents were killed by monsters from the abyss!

Therefore, he will never forgive the abyssal monster!

"I'm not playing anymore."

Liu Mang suddenly spoke, and then plopped down on the ground.

"I admit I can't beat you."

Ye Yan glanced at him, then looked at the others.

"Who else?"

silence.

No one speaks.

"That's settled then." Ye Yan stood up. "From today onwards, I am your captain. I have only one rule."

He looked into their eyes and said, slowly and deliberately:

"Come back alive."

Silence fell once again in front of the tent.

Looking at Ye Yan, the problem children suddenly realized that perhaps this team leader wasn't so bad after all.

Maybe.

Su Wanqing huddled in the corner, watching Ye Yan's retreating figure, her eyes welling up with tears.

She remembered the last words Ye Yan had said to her a year ago.

"One day, you'll regret it."

Now, she regrets it.

too late.
