“You know, they are all from the special forces.”


  Seeing that Fang Qiu had no intention of making any moves, Li Ji immediately said, “If you don’t teach them a lesson, they will not show you any respect.”


  Although he was very familiar with Fang Qiu and had seen Fang Qiu’s great strength during the numerous times he fought, Li Ji still wanted to see how powerful Fang Qiu was now and whether he could really defeat a thousand soldiers of the special forces on his own.

  “I don’t have to fight for this kind of thing.” Fang Qiu smiled blandly.

  As he spoke, he walked up to the 1,000 special forces soldiers who were lined up.

  He did not speak and just gently lifted his right foot and stomped on the ground in an extremely casual way!

  “Bang!” A terrifying muffled sound suddenly rang out.

  The ground of the entire base shook as if an earthquake had just occurred.

  Then, he looked down at his feet.

  The ground, which was often trampled by soldiers and crushed by large machinery, cracked directly under Fang Qiu’s casual stamp and the cracks spread out like a spider’s web throughout the ground.

  With Fang Qiu’s right foot as the center, the cracks quickly extended in all directions like rivulets of water flowing. In the blink of an eye, the cracks reached about dozens of meters.

  This scene frightened the thousand special soldiers.

  They could clearly see that the cracks Fang Qiu made were so real under their feet!

  They knew that it was almost impossible to turn the ground of the base into such a state with just one stomp, because this was the training base for special forces.

  In order not to be discovered by the enemies’ satellite, there were no modern buildings in the base. The ground was also the normal surface of the mountain.

  Although this kind of ground was not extremely solid, it was often eroded by the mist in the mountains. Therefore, the ground was not dry but very damp. Even if a hammer which weighed a thousand kilograms was used to smash it, it could only smash a big hole. It was impossible to make such a crack in this kind of ground.

  But Fang Qiu did it. He did not use much strength and had just casually stamped his feet to achieve the effect.

  All the 1,000 special forces soldiers present were shocked!

  When they heard that the mysterious man was coming to instruct and train them, they were eager to fight with him. They did not take the mysterious man seriously at all. When Fang Qiu jumped off the helicopter and they saw Fang Qiu’s youthful figure, they felt more disdainful and arrogant.

  But now, they did not even have the chance to show their dissatisfaction, as they were completely frightened by the scene in front of them!

  “Fortunately, he did not give me the chance to go out and challenge him!”


  “What the fu*k! This is insane!”


  “How terrifying!”


  “We had a deal that we were going to challenge him together before. Now everyone is so scared that they do not even dare to move their feet. But this mysterious man is too awesome. He casually stomped the ground into such a state. If we really try to challenge him, won’t all of us be killed by him?”


  As they looked at Fang Qiu, those soldiers who were eager to have a fight earlier quickly straightened up and dispelled those thoughts in their minds.

  “Ha-ha.”


  Seeing this, Li Ji who had been following Fang Qiu, immediately gave him a thumbs-up and exclaimed, “Awesome!”


  Fang Qiu turned around and looked at the 1,000 special soldiers in front of him.

  “Thank you for your efforts to protect our country.”


  Wearing a mask did not affect him at all. Fang Qiu said in a serious tone, “The country will need you more in the future. That’s why I am here to help you. I’ll train you to meet the requirements that the state needs, make you stronger and make you more capable of fighting for our country.”


  “I hope none of you will fall behind!”


  When Fang Qiu finished speaking, one thousand people immediately shouted, “Be loyal to the country and the people!”


  Fang Qiu nodded.

  Although this was inconsistent with what Fang Qiu said, it already expressed the determination of the thousand special forces soldiers.

  Since they were loyal to the country, they were willing to make every effort to fight for it. They were loyal to the people, so they were willing to spend their whole life to work for it!

  Nothing could be more sincere and solemn than this.

  “Very good.”


  Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction, turned to Li Ji and said, “Let’s go.”


  Led by Li Ji, they walked to a camouflaged wooden house covered in vines in the depths of the base.

  As they left, the 1,000 special soldiers immediately began to talk about what had just happened.

  “He’s so freaking awesome, isn’t he?”


  “We’re not acting in a movie, are we? He can stamp the ground so easily like that. If he used a little more strength, he might be able to make a river.”


  “It’s horrible. The strength of this new mysterious instructor is really terrifying!”


  “How strong can a man be if he needs to do this? It’s a miracle!”


  “Even a machine can’t do it, let alone an ordinary person. Is this mysterious instructor still human?”


  “He can’t be a human. He’s a monster, a freak!”


  After the group of soldiers dispersed, they immediately moved to the side, bent down and began to examine the ground carefully. They exclaimed while checking the ground.

  Li Ji led Fang Qiu to the treehouse and sat down.

  “With the technology of our country, we should be able to easily block all things like satellites from other countries, right?” Fang Qiu asked curiously.

  “Of course.” Li Ji nodded proudly.

  Fang Qiu asked, “Then why do you still keep this base such a secret?”


  “There are a lot of things that you don’t know. There are not only satellites in this world that can collect intelligence. With the development of technology, there are more and more means to obtain intelligence. In the past, we rely on people to take photos, but now there are aerial photographs and so on.”


  Speaking of this, Li Ji shook his head with a smile and added, “Besides, this kind of base is only the training base for special forces and not the real military camp.”


  “All right.”


  Fang Qiu nodded as he understood and then asked, “Where is the chief of the base?”


  “Ha-ha.”


  Li Ji grinned and said, “Now, the leaders of each base have some confidential things to do, so I’ll be in charge of these 1,000 special soldiers.”


  Fang Qiu was stunned.

  He wanted to discuss with the chief about how to train these 1,000 special forces soldiers, but he did not expect that in the end, it was Li Ji who was going to have a discussion with him.

  Li Ji said, “You’ve seen the 1,000 soldiers. Tell me how you want to train them.”


  “Field training.”


  Fang Qiu had already thought about it. 1,000 people were a huge force. It would be a pity not to use them in the right place.

  “Oh?” Li Ji was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Fang actually knew how to do field training.

  “I want to take them to the Taklimakan desert to dig up some Desert Cistanches.”


  Fang Qiu did not conceal his plan and said it blatantly.

  Li Ji immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

  “Oh, man! Don’t scare me!”


  Looking at Fang Qiu, Li Ji said with a wry smile, “First of all, you are using the country’s soldiers to carry out your private affairs. Secondly, I know about the Desert Cistanche you are referring to. It is a rare and precious Chinese medicine which is not allowed to be taken anywhere. You are not only using my men to carry out your private affairs, but also breaking the rules. Moreover, you’re taking the soldiers to do something illegal.”


  “I’m not doing it for money.”


  Fang Qiu shrugged and spread his hands, saying, “I want to cultivate it. You know that the Desert Cistanche is a rare and precious Chinese herb. The reason why I’m going to pick the Desert Cistanche is that I want to grow more of it so that it will not be so rare. I’m a Chinese Medicine doctor, so I will not damage the field when I pick it.”


  “As for this illegal problem, I believe you can discuss it with the government.”


  Speaking of this, Fang Qiu continued with a smile, “Besides, field training is very helpful for the improvement of the soldiers.”


  Li Ji frowned and asked, “Really? Why can’t you help all the soldiers to improve in a short time like what you did in Nanjiang?”


  When Fang Qiu heard that, he paused, thought for a moment, and said, “There are too many of them!”


  This was the reason that Fang Qiu just came up with, which was not convincing at all.

  Looking at Fang Qiu, Li Ji was speechless.

  “So you have not even come up with an excuse before bringing it up to me?” Li Ji asked.

  “Ha-ha.” Fang Qiu chuckled.

  Li Ji knew that since Fang Qiu gave his condition, he would not give up, so he could only frown and thought about it carefully for a while. He then said, “Well. There should be no problem with the condition you stated.”


  “Okay.”


  Fang Qiu nodded and said, “I still have two other requirements.”


  “There’s more?” Li Ji froze.

  “First of all, this matter must be treated as strictly confidential.”


  Fang Qiu ignored Li Ji’s wry smile and said this directly.

  “Okay!” Li Ji nodded at once.

  “Secondly, I went to Beijiang and got an Earth Treasure known as Fairy Desert Cistanche before. Some people at the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine are studying the Desert Cistanche as well. Someone may find the connection. At that time, my identity will be exposed, so I need you to help me erase all traces in this matter!”


  “No problem!” Li Ji did not even think about it and immediately nodded in agreement.

  As for the military and the country, Fang Qiu was a powerful weapon kept under wraps. Therefore, even if Fang Qiu did not make this request, they would definitely keep all the information about Fang Qiu secret so that Fang Qiu’s identity as the mysterious man would not be exposed.

  Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction as Li Ji agreed.

  When he was thinking about the situation in the Taklimakan desert, the figure of an eighth-class expert with two opened meridians who had committed suicide there, suddenly appeared in his mind.

  Liang Sheng!

  Fang Qiu thought of the words Liang Sheng said before he died.

  An idea came to his mind. He looked at Li Ji, hesitated for a moment and then said, “I want to ask you about an organization.”


  “What organization?” Li Ji asked.

  “I don’t know.”


  Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “Last time, when I went to Beijiang to find the Earth Treasure known as Fairy Desert Cistanche, I met a man in the Taklimakan desert. He was a martial arts master.”


  “His name is Liang Sheng. When I met him, he was fighting with the Giant Scorpion, a guardian beast of Fairy Desert Cistanche. After that, I took Fairy Desert Cistanche from him because this man was too bloodthirsty. After killing the Giant Scorpion, he wanted to kill me and a group of ordinary people.”
