Lin Feng could feel the anger in Huang Yixiang's gaze from across the way.

He didn't know Huang Yixiang's relationship with Su Xuebing, but from Huang Yixiang's expression, Lin Feng knew without a doubt that Su Xuebing must have asked Huang Yixiang to help him get revenge.

Fearless since childhood, Lin Feng had never been afraid of anyone. He met Huang Yixiang's gaze directly, his own eyes stern and unwavering.

A few seconds later, Huang Yixiang and Su Xuebing—whose face was as grimy as a Calico Cat's—walked towards Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, you dared to hurt me! I told you, I'd get my revenge for this!" Su Xuebing said, touching his dust-covered face.

"If I didn't hurt you, was I supposed to let you hurt me? Idiot. I'd already forfeited, but you came looking for a beating. Give me another chance, and I'd—throw you straight into a manure pit! Haha."

Facing Huang Yixiang and Su Xuebing, Lin Feng spoke with a casual, bantering tone.

"It was just a sparring match on the stage. Was it necessary to make your opponent look so bad?" Huang Yixiang finally spoke.

"Bad? Not bad at all. If you don't believe me, let Su Xuebing look in a mirror. With his looks, he could star in a movie... Err, okay, as the male lead in a horror film," Lin Feng said, covering his mouth to stifle a laugh.

"Hmph. I don't know if you're ignorant or just playing dumb. In any case, Su Xuebing is my comrade from the special forces. You made him lose face in front of so many people. That's not right. Apologize to him now, and I'll pretend this never happened," Huang Yixiang said lightly, cracking his neck.

Apologize?

Lin Feng scoffed. He had only made Su Xuebing lose face, not injured him; that was already holding back. If their positions were reversed, who knows if Su Xuebing would have shown him any mercy?

"Apologize? No way!" Lin Feng snorted coldly, refusing outright.

"Lin Feng, are you saying you won't give me, Huang Yixiang, any face?" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Huang Yixiang's face at Lin Feng's direct refusal.

"Face? What's face? Can you eat it? Or how much is it worth?" For some reason, Lin Feng couldn't stand Huang Yixiang's superior attitude, especially his tone that sounded so self-important. "Don't give me that crap. When I decide something, no one can change it. I'll say it a hundred times: even if you were the King of Heaven himself, I wouldn't apologize! It's impossible!"

With that, Lin Feng turned and walked away.

"Hmph, quite the temper. You're number 7, right? Perfect. My next opponent is you. We'll be fighting for a spot in the top four, and whoever wins becomes a member of Elite Squad 1. I'll crush you underfoot and then become the team captain of the Falcon Special Agent Elite Team," Huang Yixiang added, his voice laced with disdain as Lin Feng walked away.

Hearing this, Lin Feng stopped in his tracks.

His next opponent... what a coincidence, it's actually Huang Yixiang!

"Heh, I heard you were in the special forces before?" Lin Feng asked, turning around.

"That's right," Huang Yixiang nodded.

"I don't think so. More like the 'Bragging Brigade.' Just now, that friend of yours next to you was bragging in front of me. What was the result? How did he feel? Heh, you can interview him on the spot. Now you're bragging in front of me too... Oh, I forgot to tell you, I specialize in treating all kinds of 'unruly attitudes'! Since you want to fight, fine. See you in the ring later!"

Lin Feng finished speaking casually, then hummed a little tune and walked away as if nothing had happened.

"Hmph, this kid's pretty arrogant. 'Specializes in treating unruly attitudes,' huh? Coincidentally, so do I. Later, I'll have him lying on the ground, admitting defeat and begging for mercy!" Huang Yixiang watched Lin Feng's retreating back and gave a cold, sinister smile.

"Brother Xiang, don't hold back later! Beat him hard and vent my anger for me!" Su Xuebing said from the side, also watching Lin Feng's retreating figure angrily.

...

After a short rest, it was lunchtime. The final matches to decide the members of Elite Squad 1 were scheduled for the afternoon.

Following Zhang Chu's arrangements, everyone took their luggage, collected toiletries and bedding sets from the dormitory entrance, and settled into their assigned rooms. Of course, those who had been eliminated could only take transportation waiting outside the training base to go home.

The room was a four-person dorm with bunk beds. When Lin Feng entered, he saw that luggage had already been placed on three of the bunks, and on two of them, the bedding was even neatly made.

He didn't pay it much mind, simply tossing his luggage onto the empty top bunk near the door before heading to the cafeteria for lunch.

Meals in the cafeteria were paid for by swiping a card. Everyone received a card that could be used for meals, showers, and getting hot drinking water. The initial balance on the card was zero dollars, and $30 would be credited to it daily. Everyone could only spend these $30 per day, though of course, one could save a bit each day and let it accumulate on the card.

"Damn, $30 a day? How are we supposed to live on that? I usually spend more than $30 on a single meal..."

Seeing the rules for the meal card, Lin Feng wanted to cry but had no tears. He was already flat broke, and now he could only spend $30 a day. That wasn't just unreasonable, it was a total rip-off!

Complaining was one thing, but these were the rules, and naturally, he couldn't fight them. So, with no other choice, Lin Feng could only take his meal card and go to the cafeteria to get food.

Fortunately, seeing the food in the cafeteria brought him a little relief. There was a good selection of meat and vegetable dishes, and they were quite cheap too—a meat stir-fry only cost $4. It seemed the higher-ups knew the training was arduous and were looking out for the trainees when it came to meals.

Of course, for a 'monster' eater like Lin Feng, who usually had two or three meat dishes per meal, this amount of money still seemed a bit insufficient.

I'll have to eat sparingly, otherwise I won't even have money for a steamed bun for breakfast...

Muttering to himself, Lin Feng queued up, got his food, had a quick meal, and then went straight to the arena plaza.

There were already some people in the plaza. Lin Feng had just found a spot to sit and his seat hadn't even warmed up yet when he saw Huang Yixiang and Su Xuebing walking towards the plaza, surrounded by several people.

Damn, this is a training base, not a damn triad meeting. Acting like gangsters, pretending to be the Boss... Seeing that scene, Lin Feng just curled his lip and ignored them.

"Huang Yixiang's strength is obvious to everyone. Securing a spot in Elite Squad 1 should be no problem for him. Bro, do you know who his opponent is in this round?" a young man about Lin Feng's age, sitting next to him, asked Lin Feng while looking at Huang Yixiang with envy.

"I think it's a guy named Lin Feng," Lin Feng replied.

"Oh, oh, then that Lin Feng guy is screwed. Look, so many people are sucking up to Huang Yixiang and that Su Xuebing. I heard they're retired from the special forces; they're really something," the young man continued.

"Is that so?" Lin Feng replied nonchalantly.

"Heh heh, I was really lucky to make it this far. My last opponent withdrew automatically because he was seriously injured in the round before last... Friend, hello. My name is Lu Pengju. And you are?" the young man said, extending his hand to Lin Feng.

"I'm Lin Feng," Lin Feng said, shaking his hand.
