"Bullshit! Without destruction there can be no construction! If their confidence can be shaken so easily, then they might as well get the hell out of Long Ya. What's the point of having such mental toughness in Long Ya, huh?"

Jiang Chen's expression slowly became more severe:

"Are they supposed to be unable to pick up their guns when they get hit by the enemy once they are on the battlefield? Training hits won't kill, but on the battlefield, one careless moment could cost lives, and even drag down their teammates to death. Don't you know that?"

Jiang Chen's stern reprimand made Chen Jiantao ashamedly lower his head, "I'm sorry, chief instructor, we were wrong!"

Jiang Chen said coldly, "I think it's not just them who've become complacent, you have too! Do you really believe that just because you've made great progress, and you defeated Flying Eagle without even needing to make a move, that you're something special? That you're invincible?"

Chen Jiantao kept his head down, not speaking, but his eyes revealed an unusual expression.

"You've really got some nerve, all raising your tails up like that, haven't you? Pass my order: within one hour, finish the battle. After the battle is over, the elite company will move to the combat drill area. I'll fight against you myself. If I can't take you down in half an hour, I'll hand over my position as the chief instructor to you!" Jiang Chen roared angrily.

Chen Jiantao looked up at Jiang Chen, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Chief instructor, isn't half an hour a bit too short, perhaps..."

"Carry out the order!" Jiang Chen shouted sternly.

"Yes!" Chen Jiantao responded loudly and turned to slip into the jungle.

Liang Fang and another person were utterly befuddled as they looked at Jiang Chen, unable to grasp his command.

The battle had just been going on for three hours; they had hardly fought, and now they were ordered to wipe out two thousand men within an hour. Moreover, he claimed he could take down the elite company of over a hundred men in thirty minutes by himself—was this not bragging beyond belief?

Watching the youth who was about their age, the respect in Liang Fang and the other's eyes diminished a bit, replaced by a look of disdain.

Wuu wuu...squeak!

After a while, a camouflaged jeep arrived at the entrance to the mountain road, and Shen Xiangtian jumped down from the vehicle.

"Team leader!"

"Team leader!"

Liang Fang and his companion stood at attention and saluted, their eyes filled with respect as they looked at Shen Xiangtian.

"Chief instructor, why aren't you going in?" Shen Xiangtian nodded at Liang Fang and the other, returning the salute casually, and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.

Jiang Chen glanced at Shen Xiangtian with a cold expression and ignored him, turning his head to look into the jungle.

Shen Xiangtian was taken aback, blinked, turned his head to Liang Fang and the other, and whispered, "What's going on?"

"Team leader, the chief instructor, he…" Liang Fang explained what had just happened.

Shen Xiangtian was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, and said in confusion, "Chief instructor…"

"Old Shen, let me ask you, when Long Ya fought against Flying Eagle to reclaim the title of the best special forces, what was the mentality of the Long Ya warriors?" Jiang Chen asked, looking indifferently at the jungle.

Without hesitation, Shen Xiangtian said, "They would rather die than give in, rather die than be defeated!"

"Then tell me what the mentality of Long Ya's warriors would be if they fought against Flying Eagle now?" Jiang Chen turned his head and stared straight into Shen Xiangtian's eyes.

Shen Xiangtian thought for a moment and said softly, "It should be to despise the enemy strategically, but to take them seriously in battle, right?"

"Take them seriously in battle? Hah!" Jiang Chen scoffed. "Do you really believe that?"

Shen Xiangtian's face changed slightly and he gave an awkward smile, "No, chief instructor, I know the brothers have been a bit arrogant lately, but they do have the capital to be proud!"

"Yes, they do have the capital to be proud, but what they should have is pride, not arrogance!" Jiang Chen spoke coldly. "I already told Chen Jiantao, complacency leads to defeat! Don't think you are invincible. There are many strong individuals in this world. If you continue like this, you will sooner or later be destroyed by your own hands!"

Shen Xiangtian blinked and said somewhat dismissively, "Commandant, aren't you being a bit too serious?"

"Serious, just wait, and soon I'll show you if my words are too serious," replied Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen glanced at Shen Xiangtian and finally understood why the people of Long Ya had become so arrogant; if the commander was like this, what more could be said of the soldiers below?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After a while, Chen Jiantao, along with Spirit You and others, arrived in front of Jiang Chen and his group.

"Reporting to the commandant, the battle is over, finished in 56 minutes!" Chen Jiantao reported loudly.

"Is that something to be proud of?" Jiang Chen said indifferently.

Everyone was startled, and Shen Xiangtian said softly, "Commandant, that's not a bad result!"

"Not bad?" Jiang Chen smirked coldly, "Twelve Heavenly Peak Grandmasters, all of whom crawled out of piles of corpses, fighting a bunch with a maximum at Earth Grade Peak and the weakest at Profound or even Yellow Grade, most of whom have never truly experienced a battle of over a thousand people, and it took nearly an hour to defeat them. And you tell me the result is not bad?"

"This..." Shen Xiangtian and the others exchanged looks and bowed their heads in silence.

"I know you are not convinced, Old Shen, how long do you think I would need to deal with the elite company?" Jiang Chen asked calmly.

Shen Xiangtian paused then after a moment, he said softly, "If it's a head-on fight, maybe an hour, if it's in the jungle, then it would probably take more than three hours!"

"What? He could win?"

"How could that be possible?"

Liang Fang and another expressed their astonishment and disbelief while looking at Shen Xiangtian.

Jiang Chen ignored Liang Fang and the other, speaking coldly, "Half an hour, jungle warfare, if I can't take them down, I won't say anything more. But if I do, all of you, including you, get out and find Xuan Long and the others, follow them and go fight some big battles to properly wake up your brains filled with arrogance!"

"Yes!" Shen Xiangtian answered loudly, his eyes revealing a look of reluctance to accept defeat.

"Now, including you, have all members of the elite company enter the battle zone, fully armed. Five minutes later, I enter the jungle," Jiang Chen said quietly.

"Let's go!"

With a call, Shen Xiangtian led Chen Jiantao and the others toward the jungle, excitement visible in everyone's eyes.

They had long wanted to have a battle with Jiang Chen but never had the opportunity. Now, finally seizing the chance, they were eager to prove to Jiang Chen that they hadn't let him down and that they had the right to be proud!

"Do you two have a stopwatch?" Jiang Chen asked Liang Fang and his companion.

Liang Fang stood at attention and said, "Reporting to the commandant, I have one."

"Start timing!" Jiang Chen said quietly.

"Yes!" replied Liang Fang, taking out the stopwatch to time.

Five minutes later.

"Commandant, five minutes have passed," Liang Fang said softly.

"Wait a bit longer!" Jiang Chen replied indifferently, "I don't need that much time, I don't need half an hour to deal with them!"

Liang Fang was taken aback, secretly smirking.

He's criticizing the captain and them, but it seems like he's the real one who's gotten cocky!
