Chapter 20 Beginner Combat Level 19
After a long time, Zhao Gao opened his eyes. His gaze was cold and fierce. He had started to practice the Beginner Combat Technique, according to the memories of his soul.
Once, twice, thrice…
Zhao Gao practiced again and again, and only stopped after an hour and a half.
“Whoosh…” Zhao Gao let out a breath of turbid air. He closed his eyes to feel what his body was telling him.
He tried to clench his fist and felt that his body was getting stronger.
Zhao Gao knew that his prediction was right. A higher level of skills in Beginner Combat was indeed helpful in helping him control his body strength.
According to Zhao Gao’s estimation, he could control at least 60% of his strength currently.
Although it had only increased by 10%, it was a
lot.
One had to know that the Zhao Gao yesterday and the Zhao Gao today did possess different physical stats.
Today, Zhao Gao had leveled up again. When he sparred with Adjutant Qian, he had added a bit of Freedom Stats points to both his physical and spirit stats.
And these upgrades had actually lowered his level of control over his body yesterday.
Although he had increased his level of control during the sparring, it definitely did not reach 60%. “Whoosh…” Zhao Gao took another deep breath.
Zhao Gao did not want to think too much about it anymore. He took off his pants and jumped into the stream. He picked up the Acacia Pill and began to scrub his body.
After washing his body, Zhao Gao washed his soiled clothes with the remaining Acacia Pill. He wrung them dry after washing. He then put on a new set of clothes and his armor, before walking towards the entrance of the camp.
When Zhao Gao arrived, Chiliarch Ling had gathered everyone and was rushing them to the field for dinner.
When everyone returned to the field, the carriage that delivered their food had arrived as well. Zhao Gao and the others began to queue up to get food.
After instructing Zhao Gao and the others that they could have time off, Chiliarch Ling turned around and left them.

After Zhao Gao obtained his food, he squatted at a corner and ate by himself, as before.
Zhao Gao felt that the meal tonight was quite good. The meal included his favorite salad with chameleon plant, and pork stewed with chinese yam.
Both dishes suited the taste buds of modern people like Zhao Gao.
Of course, there were exceptions of people who might hate the chameleon plant.
For people who hated chameleon plants, this might very well be the food they hated most in their lives.
Most of them would be thinking, “What kind of anti-humanity food is this?”

After eating, Zhao Gao put the cutlery back into the carriage. He then leaned against the wall, quietly looking at the sunset in the distance.
As he was digesting, he continued to review the spar with Adjutant Qian today. He was thinking of what he lacked; and to come up with a conclusion.

To Zhao Gao, battle and spar were considered rather high-class terms.
As a citizen of a modern and peaceful society like Blue Star, he had only fought a few times when he was young. After he grew up, he no longer dared to fight.
This was because they could not afford to fight anymore. If they lost, they would end up in the hospital. If they won, they would have to pay compensation. As a result, people could only suppress all their emotions in their hearts.
In addition, fighting was different from sparring
Just like that, Zhao Gao thought to himself as he sat quietly in a corner. It was as if he had been separated from the rest of the world. He completely ignored the changes in the world outside.
Time passed by slowly, till the sun had set completely and the moon illuminated the sky.
Zhao Gao then stood up. He patted the dust off his butt as he looked at the sky.
Zhao Gao estimated that it should be around 9 pm or 10 pm. He started walking towards the military tents.
As soon as he approached his military tent, Zhao Gao heard the others cursing at him. “What kind of person is that?! He actually beat Brother Lan Tian up like this!”
“That’s right, exactly! We’re all from Blue Star! How could he be so merciless?”
“No, we can’t just let him off like this. We should let him have a taste of being beaten up as well.”
“Are you tired of living? It’s not like you didn’t see him fight Adjutant Qian today. With his strength, even if the three of us fight him together, we wouldn’t be able to hurt him a single bit.”
Upon hearing this, the person who had spoken earlier became anxious. “Then what do you think we should do? We can’t just watch Big Brother Lan Tian suffer like this!” “You’re asking me? How would I know?” “Ahem! Brothers, please don’t quarrel over me. It’s not worth it.”
“Moreover, I believe that Brother Zhao Gao didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, the treatment from the military doctors and the increase in my Character level will produce some healing effects. I’ll recover.”
When the three of them heard Lan Tian’s words, they all admired his magnanimity.
“Brother Lan Tian, you’re too kind. If he dares to treat me like this, I’ll definitely…”
“What would you do?” asked Zhao Gao, who had been outside listening for a long time. He did not want to listen to their fake compliments any longer. Hence, he pulled open the curtain and asked Mu Chenxu directly.
Zhao Gao’s voice gave the four of them a fright. In shock, they immediately turned to look at Zhao Gao who had walked in.
But when they saw Zhao Gao’s stoic expressions, and thought of the strength he had displayed, the four of them were terrified.
“No… nothing!” Faced with Zhao Gao’s question, Mu Chenxu instinctively looked at the other four men, but they avoided his gaze.
Their cowardly behavior made Mu Chenxu angry. He wanted to mock them by calling them cowards.
However, when he thought of the power Zhao Gao had displayed today, he knew that his body language had betrayed his thoughts.
Seeing how evasive Mu Chenxu was, Zhao Gao decided to ignore him, and looked at Lan Tian instead.
“Big Brother Lan Tian, I’m sorry about today. This is my first time fighting with someone. I was a little careless,” said Zhao Gao.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I understand your distress. Moreover, your brother’s body is still quite strong. This little injury will heal in three or four days at most. Brother Zhao Gao, you don’t need to feel guilty.” said Lan Tian, who was lying on the bed, waving his hand.
“Alright, I’m relieved to hear that from Big Brother.” Zhao Gao did not intend to apologize at all. He knew that Lan Tian was being pretentious and hence he decided to put on an act too.
“You guys go ahead! I’m going to rest first,” saod Zhao Gao.
“Alright then. Brother Zhao Gao, please rest as much as you want. We’ll try our best to keep our voices down.” Lan Tian spoke with a smile on his face.
It seemed as if he held no grudges against Zhao Gao at all.

On hearing Lan Tian, Zhao Gao glanced at the four of them and decided to ignore them.
He did not want to bother himself with them either.
Zhao Gao knew that he would never have to fight the four of them.
Lan Tian had not shown any resentment at all, even after Zhao Gao had beaten him to such a state. This meant that Lan Tian was someone who was very good at hiding his emotions.
And this sort of person would either be a powerful hero or a poisonous snake.
