Chapter 228: Before the Battle
Li Xiuyuan had been in this base for three days, and when he first came, he thought that there were two senior sisters from the genius school here, and it was not difficult to meet Zhao Li. However, when he knew that Zhao Li was in retreat, he couldn't wait patiently.
Zhao Li's current identity is completely different from when he was in the boot camp. As soon as the recruit training ended, Li Xiuyuan was selected into the genius school. originally thought that with his own efforts and the super high starting point of the genius school, when he graduated, he would at least be a major, and he would definitely be able to let Zhao Li salute in front of him.
But what he never expected was that Zhao Li actually rose to the top and became a lieutenant colonel during his cultivation in the genius school. What makes him even more intolerable is that if Zhao Li is just a civilian lieutenant colonel with a fictitious title, it would be fine, but Zhao Li is a powerful military general with heavy troops, and he is also the winner of the first-class Red Star Medal during the war. This is much stronger than Li Xiuyuan's own major who was awarded the title immediately after graduation.
Is this the so-called Tao one foot high, magic one foot high? He is this Tao, and Zhao Li is this demon? I can't help but say that Li Xiuyuan is the most diligent in the history of the genius school, but he is definitely the most diligent among the students in this period. Whenever he thought of Zhao Li, a fourth-level recruit, actually putting down two sixth-level and more than a dozen fifth-level comrades, including himself, Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth for a while.
This experience, which seemed extremely humiliating to Li Xiuyuan, also became the motivation for his crazy efforts in the genius school. While the instructors were satisfied with his diligence and cultivation progress, they were also very puzzled by his hard work.
When he graduated, Li Xiuyuan finally had the opportunity to be received by the principal alone. The kind of power that the principal gave him that was higher than he didn't know how many levels made Li Xiuyuan quickly become a hardcore admirer of the principal. However, the principal also pointed out to him that because of his obsession, he may need a lot of effort in his future practice.
Li Xiuyuan's obsession is Zhao Li, even when he graduated from the genius school, he can't forget the "humiliation" that Zhao Li brought to him back then, not to mention, it was still humiliated in front of the people sent by the genius school to investigate, if he doesn't get this field back, Li Xiuyuan's heart will not have any peace.
When he told the principal his wish, the principal replied to him in a very incomprehensible way: "Maybe you will be disappointed." So far, Li Xiuyuan doesn't know why the principal said this, could it be that the principal has already concluded that he is not Zhao Li's opponent?
With his surname, Li Xiuyuan carried out the task assessment for the first year after graduation, and after successfully completing the task, he found the principal again, hoping that he could guide him. The principal didn't know why, so he told Li Xiuyuan about Zhao Li's current identity, and then Li Xiuyuan appeared in the military camp on the edge planet.
The more successful Zhao Li was, the more urgent Li Xiuyuan's fantasy of defeating Zhao Li became. However, after so many years of training in a genius school, he also understood that he was just trying to unravel his obsession, and that little bit of disgrace back then was not worth fighting with Zhao Li for life and death.
Zhao Li, who is level seven, can never be Li Xiuyuan's opponent. You must know that the minimum standard for the students of the genius school to graduate is to break the bottleneck of the seventh level and step into the ranks of the eighth level masters, which is by no means made up for by a little skill when they are at the fourth and fifth levels. Li Xiuyuan has even thought about how to stop properly when he wins, and then sincerely thanked Zhao Li for giving him the motivation to keep fighting for so many years, and then everyone laughed, and they could still be good friends.
I don't know how many times I have fantasized about such a scene in Li Xiuyuan's mind. Every time he thought of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but urge himself to start practicing hard again, and this time was no exception.
It was already the morning of the fourth day, and when Li Xiuyuan sorted out his military appearance and military discipline according to the standards of the school students, he heard a knock on the door.
"Senior sister!" Li Xiuyuan recognized this beautiful senior sister at a glance. To be honest, when it comes to Li Xiuyuan's realm, Christine's attraction to him is limited, but Li Xiuyuan is still very envious of Zhao Li's Yanfu, there is such a stunner hanging around him every day, but he can only see it and can't eat it, and he doesn't know how Zhao Li should spend that difficult time.
"The commissioner said he wanted to see you." Christine didn't have a very good impression of this junior brother. When Zhao Li knocked down Li Xiuyuan during the selection that year, Kristing saw it with his own eyes, at least the performance at that time, Li Xiuyuan did not leave a good impression on Kristin.
The title of director once again put Li Xiuyuan in a strange state. The lieutenant colonel is just that, and he is good at leading troops, but he is actually young, and he still sits in this position that is rumored to be at least a major general in the army, which is no longer a simple description of good luck. Li Xiuyuan asked himself that even if he spent the same amount of time in the army as Zhao Li, it would be impossible for him to sit in such a high position in such a short period of time.
"Senior sister, what's the matter?" Following Kristine, he came out of the room where he was resting, and walked until he walked to a place where there was no one, and Dressine suddenly stopped. Li Xiuyuan was thinking about Zhao Li's matter, and he was caught off guard and almost hit Kristeen's back.
"Senior brother." Christine looked at this equally young face and couldn't help but sigh. The reason for Li Xiuyuan and Zhao Li's grudge back then was clear to Krestin, and she didn't know how to persuade this junior brother. However, now Zhao Li's situation is absolutely not allowed to do anything, Kristeen bit her lip, and finally said her words: "I hope that when you meet the director, you can talk more about the past, but it is best not to mention the matter of the competition." ”
Having said this, Kristine probably felt that it was not enough to express her resolute thoughts, and added: "I mean, you are just here to catch up this time, and there is no other purpose!" ”
"Why? Masters? Li Xiuyuan didn't understand this very much. It stands to reason that Christine is also a member of the genius school, and everyone serves in the army, so naturally they should know the attitude of the traditional military towards the students of the genius school. In this case, it is supposed that all the students of the genius school should be united in a group, how could Senior Sister Christine put forward such an excessive reason?
"If the principal doesn't tell you, don't ask." In the name of the principal, Christine answered the question. Although Li Xiuyuan was still still confused by the second monk, he didn't dare to ask about this aspect again.
"Is that what the headmaster meant?" I didn't dare to ask the reason, but this time Li Xiuyuan knew Zhao Li's whereabouts from the principal, and if there was any evasion, the principal should have told him at that time. Or maybe the headmaster informed Kristeen after he left, but in any case, it was better to ask.
"No, it's my private request." Christine didn't have the courage to keep pulling the guise of the principal, and answered Li Xiuyuan's questions truthfully.
"I'm sorry, senior sister, this is a matter between me and Zhao Li." After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiuyuan still shook his head and rejected Krestine: "I've been waiting for this day for six years, and I don't want to wait any longer." ”
Christine looked at Li Xiuyuan's serious face, and didn't say anything anymore, just shook her head: "You will be disappointed." With that, he turned around and continued to walk towards Zhao Li's office with Li Xiuyuan.
"Why? Why do principals and senior sisters say that? Could it be that Zhao Li's cultivation has reached a very terrifying point now? Li Xiuyuan was puzzled, could an ordinary person with only level 4 in the introductory test exercises, and a person who was still dealing with all kinds of miscellaneous matters in the military, be stronger than him, a cultivation genius who had been practicing for so many years in a genius school?
With this question, Li Xiuyuan came to Zhao Li's office. Along the way, Li Xiuyuan saw a lot of people, none of whom were very young, but even with Li Xiuyuan's current cultivation, when he felt the power that those people inadvertently exuded, he still felt palpitations. With so many strong people concentrated here, it is obvious that this is Zhao Li's subordinate. However, why did Zhao Li have such strong warriors to follow him?
"Hello sir!" Although Li Xiuyuan was very unhappy in his heart, when he saw Zhao Li, he still had to salute Zhao Li in accordance with the etiquette in the army. Whether it is a genius school or the military, the requirements for this kind of military discipline are very strict. Zhao Li's military rank is higher than Li Xiuyuan's, so Li Xiuyuan must salute.
"Sit!" Zhao Li also returned the gift very standardly, with a smile on his face. Those guys who came out of the recruit training camp together, I didn't see any of them later, I don't know which troops they were all assigned to, Li Xiuyuan was still the first person to make a special trip to see him, no matter what small frictions there were before, at this time, Zhao Li would not take it to heart. After all, Zhao Li is the winner.
Christine served tea to Zhao Li and Li Xiuyuan very conscientiously, and then sat in the secretary's room outside. In the office, there were only two people left, Zhao Li and Li Xiuyuan.
Between comrades-in-arms, if you put aside those very long-standing small frictions, there are still many common topics. Li Xiuyuan is not a stupid person, Christine told him like that, if he doesn't understand that there must be a reason he doesn't know, then he is not worthy of entering a genius school.
The two talked about the most about those things during the recruit training, which comrade-in-arms did something stupid, or said what jokes, emotion and memories, people can't help but sigh, is it that they have grown old and begun to miss the youthful frivolity of a long time ago?
"You're coming here this time, and you're going to fight me again?" said almost the same, Zhao Lihu took the initiative to speak. Li Xiuyuan was pondering whether he should follow Kristeen's words and change his mind, not talking about these, but Zhao Li took the initiative to mention it, saving Li Xiuyuan from his inner struggle.
"The principal said that I have an obsession in my heart, that is, a demon in my heart, and if I don't solve it, it is estimated that my cultivation will not make much progress." Li Xiuyuan didn't hide it, and happily said his reasons.
"Is your demon me?" Zhao Li looked at this former comrade-in-arms, and was a little incomprehensible, it seemed that it was not a big deal at that time, and it was not worth remembering for such a long time, right?
"Yes!" Li Xiuyuan nodded again in acknowledgement. Now that Zhao Li has broken through this topic, other words seem to be redundant, anyway, it is not a big deal to compete and admit it happily. If you can't even face this, what can you talk about expelling demons.
"Your headmaster, will personally instruct each student?" Zhao Li suddenly asked an irrelevant topic.
"No!" Without thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan shook his head and denied it, and at the same time showed a hint of pride on his face: "The principal only gives guidance to the best students in each session for one or two days. As he spoke, his chest straightened, as if it were a great honor.
"Did he tell you to come here to find me?" Zhao Li asked again, the continuous questions had already made Li Xiuyuan a little irritable, and he was fighting to fight, why did he ask so much?
"Yes, he told me where you stayed." Although he was unhappy, Li Xiuyuan still answered Zhao Li's question, and at the same time, a trace of vigilance rose in his heart, could it be that Zhao Li was using this method to disturb his mind, so as to build momentum for the next competition? This should be regarded as a kind of psychological warfare, if you are impetuous, maybe you are in Zhao Li's arms, and you will not be able to exert 100% of your strength in this state.
Although he had thought many times that he could defeat Zhao Li, Li Xiuyuan still never carelessly. When Zhao Li was at the fourth level back then, he could knock down himself who was two levels higher than him, and this time it had been determined that Zhao Li was at the seventh level, and if he wanted to win, he had to be ready to fight.
Thinking about this, Li Xiuyuan's irritability was quickly thrown out of the clouds by himself, and his mood returned to normal, facing Zhao Li, with a calm smile. Zhao Li is really the one who leads the troops, and in a casual battle, he will also add the skills of the art of war, creating a situation that is beneficial to himself anytime and anywhere, this advantage, Li Xiuyuan must learn.
"When the principal instructed you to come, did he tell you that I had been abolished by him?" Suddenly, Zhao Li looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled, and asked an earth-shattering question.
"Nope!" subconsciously answered Zhao Li's question truthfully, and suddenly, Li Xiuyuan suddenly understood what Zhao Li was talking about.
"What did you say?" Li Xiuyuan stood up suddenly, and the chair under him was overturned by his action of standing up, pointing at Zhao Li and suddenly didn't know what to say. No wonder the principal, whether it's Cristine, they all say that they will be disappointed, it turns out that this is the truth!
