Power and Wealth
Chapter 910 – Fighting Tournament
Director and not Deputy Director….
Grassroot city….
City Commission for Discipline Inspection’s Inspection First Office Director….
Although everyone was in the military, they knew about the rank structure of the local government. This position was a Deputy Bureau Director rank position.
Another soldier asked. “Are you over thirty this year?”
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “Do I look like I am thirty years old? I am only twenty-five.”
“Twenty-five?! That means you just graduated from university a few years ago.”
“Yes. I graduated two years ago.” Dong Xuebing took a sip of alcohol. “What’s wrong?”
That soldier cleared his throat. “Nothing…. Errr… I was just asking.”
Everyone was shocked by Dong Xuebing’s age and rank. A twenty-five years old Deputy Bureau Director and the director of an important office in a City’s Commission for Discipline Inspection. Even the Colonel and the officers were shocked. The Colonel only knows Dong Xuebing’s identity is unique, and he has a strong family background. But he did not know he was a high-ranking government official with a powerful position. This was the first time they met a twenty-five years old Deputy Bureau Director. He was too young.
Dong Xuebing did not seem to be lying.
But…. Why is a Discipline Commission Leader so good at combat?
Killing twenty-one men without batting an eyelid…. Is he really from the Commission for Discipline Inspection?
Dong Xuebing becomes the center of attention again. Everyone felt it was unbelievable. Was it luck for him to kill all the pirates?
The dinner was ending, and it was time for the final program. The Navy vessel’s tradition was to have a fighting tournament at the end of the dinner.
Everyone moved aside to create space in the center.
Two soldiers rotated their arms and started to spar in the center.
Dong Xuebing had drunk a lot and did not dare to drink anymore. He massaged his temples and asked the soldier beside him. “Bro, what is going on?”
“It’s a fighting tournament.” The sniper, who Dong Xuebing mocked, replied calmly.
“Fighting tournament?” Dong Xuebing asked curiously. “This is part of tonight’s program?”
The sniper replied. “We hold this tournament yearly, which is common in the military. That guy on the left is last year’s champion.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. He raised his daughter above and let her ride on his shoulders.
Qianqian seemed to be excited to see those two soldiers sparring. She waved her hands to cheer for them.
This was a friendly tournament, and the soldiers did not use their full strength. One of the soldiers was slammed onto the ground and lost the match. The winner was last year’s champion.
The match ended, and the soldiers cheered.
The champion waved to everyone and waited for the next challenger.
The next challenger lost to the champion within two moves.
The Colonel and Officers applauded. “Good!”
The champion smiled and looked around. He waited for a while, and there were no challengers. He suddenly spotted Dong Xuebing, who was still eating. “Mr. Dong, do you want to come and teach me some moves?”
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. “Never mind about me.”
The other soldiers started to cheer him on.
“Just go!”
“That’s right. It’s just a match.”
“Director Dong, are you scared?”
The other soldiers started provoking Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing heard them and thought to himself. Am I scared? Yes. I drank a lot and am tipsy now. I might not control my strength well.
The soldiers had no ill intentions and wanted to test Dong Xuebing’s skill. Those pirates were not trained, and they could be beaten easily. But the soldiers were different. They would be impressed if Dong Xuebing could win against them. The soldiers’ pride does not allow them to lose to a Discipline Inspection Leader.
The Colonel waved the soldiers to stop them. “Xiao Dong had drunk a lot today. Let’s end the night now.”
The Ship Commander had spoken, and the soldiers kept quiet.
Qianqian, who was riding on Dong Xuebing’s neck, started making noises and grabbing his ears. She seemed to be anxious.
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Oh, you want to see Daddy spar?”
Little Qianqian waved her arms excitedly. “Ooh… Ahh… Ahh….”
Dong Xuebing carried his daughter down and kissed her cheeks. “Alright. Since you want to see this, Daddy will compete with them. Remember to cheer for me.”
“Ahh… Wa… Wa….”
The soldiers started cheering again.
The Colonel and Officers smiled and shook their heads. They were also curious about Dong Xuebing’s close combat skills.
Dong Xuebing passed Qianqian to that female soldier. “Sis, please take care of her.”
The female soldier nodded and carried Little Qianqian lovingly. She stroked her face and faced in front.
The winner was the champion on the vessel for a few years, and he was martial arts trained before he joined the military. No one onboard is his match.
Dong Xuebing walked forward.
The champion bowed. “Please.”
Due to the effects of alcohol, Dong Xuebing looked at everyone. “Who else wants to spar with me? Come at me together.” It was too troublesome to fight them one by one, and Little Qianqian looked at him.
The soldiers felt this was a provocation.
You want to fight a few at the same time?! Who do you think you are?
The Colonel said. “Xiao Dong, my men are well trained. Even though we are the Navy, we are not weaker than the army. You better think carefully.” He did not say everything on his mind. The Navy had them on this critical mission because of their fighting capabilities. All the soldiers onboard were elites and might hurt Dong Xuebing, even if it was one versus one. Every one of them is not a pushover.
Dong Xuebing laughed. “It’s alright. It’s New Year’s Eve. Let’s just have fun.”
“Let me go!”
“Me too!”
“Count me in!”
The soldiers were mad, and the soldiers rolled up their sleeves. A few more stood up. “Mr. Dong, you requested this. Don’t blame us if you get hurt.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Yes. Let’s start.”
Including the champion, a total of eleven soldiers stepped forward.
The Colonel stared at his men in front. “You all are going all out.” All the soldiers in front were good at close combat and could beat up more than thirty pirates. This group had the combat skills of the special forces, and the Colonel was afraid they might injure Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing had decided and rotated his shoulders excitedly. “It’s fine. Come at me!”
Qianqian was shouting from the sides.
Dong Xuebing smiled and waved to his daughter. “Cheer for Daddy.”
The eleven soldiers were mad and felt disrespected by Dong Xuebing.
“Start!” The referee said.
Three soldiers saw Dong Xuebing looking at his daughter and used this opportunity to attack him. One used an elbow strike to hit his midsection, and the others attacked him in higher and lower sections. It would be hard to avoid such attacks.
However, Dong Xuebing managed to dodge their attacks.
Dong Xuebing did not turn and seemed to know what was happening behind him. He turned his body to his side before the strikes and dodged the lower attack. He raised one hand to block the other two attacks. He immediately retaliated before the three soldiers could attack again. He let out a punch and kick, and two soldiers flew back. The remaining soldier moved back quickly and took up a defensive stance.
“Go!”
The champion shouted. He shouted to the rest to attack Dong Xuebing together.
Dong Xuebing moved left, right, up, and down to avoid their attacks.
None of the soldiers could even touch Dong Xuebing’s clothes. His movements were too fast.
The next moment, Dong Xuebing attacked back. He rushed into the soldiers and started fighting them while dodging their attacks.
Another soldier flew back and fell onto the ground.
The third soldier….
The fifth soldier….
The Seventh soldier….
Dong Xuebing got more aggressive, and the soldiers got lesser.
Of course, Dong Xuebing did not use his full strength. He had held back to prevent serious injuries.
In the end, Dong Xuebing used a shoulder throw move he learned from Xu Yan on that champion. He threw the champion onto the floor lightly. He was the last soldier standing.
The match ended in three minutes.
The soldiers who lost to Dong Xuebing looked at each other dumbfounded.
The three hostages, the other soldiers, the Colonel, and the Officers were stunned. These were elite soldiers, and they could not even land a blow on Dong Xuebing.
Damn!
How good was Xiao Dong’s close combat skill?
Even if you are good, there must be a limit.
Silence….
A few seconds later, everyone clapped and cheered.
“Fantastic!”
“Good moves!”
The soldiers, including the ones who lost to Dong Xuebing, started cheering. They were impressed by his moves.
Even if the rest of the soldiers fought Dong Xuebing together, they would lose. Everyone can tell he had held back and did not use his full strength.
How can the soldiers not be impressed with Dong Xuebing’s skills?
Dong Xuebing modestly said. “Thank you…. It was luck.”
This was not luck. Dong Xuebing’s combat skills were much better than their expectations.
