Chapter 548: Partner Not Needed

“Yes.” Colonel Lin nodded. “The wilderness selection will last for a week. The ones with the highest scores will proceed to the next round. They did not specify the number of people they are looking for this time.”

“Put my name in, I am joining the selection.” Lu Xingzhi grabbed a pen and signed his name on the document. Handing it to Colonel Lin, he said, “This is an opportunity for me.”

Before Colonel Lin could speak, Lu Xingzhi swiftly interrupted the former’s attempt at dissuading him.

“I know my body well and I’m not as weak as you think.” He smiled. When Jiang Yao was around, he would pretend to be suffering just so he could see her concerned face.

He did not feel any discomfort after this morning’s training.

There was no reason for him to give up on the selection.

He was considered a pretty successful person among his peers, considering his age. Yet, he was not satisfied.

He wanted to become better and stronger so that he could tell the world about Jiang Yao. That she was his wife, and need not fear any danger coming her way.

Seeing Lu Xingzhi’s insistence, Colonel Lin kept his silence. Lu Xingzhi was not a child anymore, he could take care of himself well. Plus, there would be professional medical personnel on-site during the selection process.

Lu Xingzhi believed that with his current ranking and achievements, he would be able to advance quickly in the military if he were to become part of the special forces unit.

After leaving Colonel Lin’s office, Lu Xingzhi went back to his.

He stumbled upon Chen Feitang and Chen Feibai unexpectedly on his way.

As Lu Xingzhi did not consider them as associates, he was not going to greet them and cared nothing about Chen Feibai’s reluctance at saluting him even though he was a captain.

“Lu Xingzhi!” Chen Feitang called out instead.

Chen Feibai glared at Chen Feitang, unhappy at her actions. Yet, they had already initiated contact, he had to salute Lu Xingzhi. “Captain!”

“Were you at Colonel Lin’s?” Chen Feitang only had eyes on Lu Xingzhi. “Did you read the selection document? Are you joining? Grandfather told me that Chen Feibai is replacing Colonel Lin since he’s not fit to go yet.”

Lu Xingzhi nodded with a blank expression on his face.

He saw Chen Feibai’s name in the document. There were only a few soldiers from Jin City Platoon selected for the selection process and Chen Feibai’s name was listed in it.

With the Chen family behind Chen Feibai, Lu Xingzhi was not surprised to see his inclusion in the selection process.

“Aren’t you going to ask if Captain Lu is joining this selection, Chen Feitang? What’s with the unnecessary small talk?” Chen Feibai glared at Chen Feitang, who was being very indirect, impatiently. He silently snorted. He hated people who were ambiguous and vague.
