Chapter 144 Going home to visit relatives
“Yes!” Jiang Che, Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Lun, Tang Ke and Ai Li answered in unison, their faces filled with excitement and pride. They knew how great an honor it was to represent the school in the National Armor Hero Competition, and they also understood the responsibilities and expectations behind it.

“Dean, we will definitely work hard and live up to the expectations of the college.” Jiang Che spoke on behalf of the five people with a firm look in his eyes.

The dean of Zhoutian College nodded and said with satisfaction: “Very good, I believe you can do it. Next, the college will provide you with the best resources and training to help you achieve good results in the national competition. You must also support each other and make progress together.”

“Yes, we will keep the dean’s teachings in mind, unite as one, and bring honor to the college.” The five people responded in unison again.

“But before that, I will give you five a week off. You can go home and visit. You should know that once you go to participate in the national competition, you won’t be able to see your parents for half a year or even several years.”

The dean of Zhoutian College looked at the five people, his eyes revealing deep concern.

The five people were all grateful when they heard this. They knew that the dean not only cared about their training and competition, but also their family and affection.

“Thank you, Dean!” Jiang Che expressed his gratitude on behalf of everyone, “We will definitely cherish this opportunity to go home and spend more time with our family.”

“Well, go ahead. Remember to come back on time, we have many training plans waiting for you.” The dean said with a smile.

The five of them bowed and said goodbye, then left the academy and started their journey home.

Jiang Che and Lin Xiaoxiao walked together, they both wanted to go home to visit their relatives. The two walked on the forest path, the sunlight shone through the leaves on them, leaving mottled light and shadows.

“Jiang Che, have you figured out how to explain our current identity and experience to my dad?” Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.

Jiang Che smiled slightly: “I have already thought about it. I will say that we are studying in the academy and now we have the opportunity to represent the academy in the national competition. I think they will understand.”

“Well, you’re right. Our current identity and experience may be a little difficult for them to accept. But I believe they will be proud of us.” Lin Xiaoxiao said.

Lin Xiaoxiao was also curious about what kind of expression her husband Deng would have if he knew about her current progress.

The two chatted and unknowingly walked to the door of Lin Xiaoxiao’s house. Jiang Che pushed the door open and shouted loudly: “Uncle, I’m back!”

There were hurried footsteps in the house, and Lin Xiaoxiao’s father Lin Qing came out with a look of surprise on his face: “You two are back! Let me see, have you lost weight?”

The three of them sat together, chatting and enjoying the rare reunion time.

Jiang Che briefly told Lin Qing about his and Xiaoxiao’s experiences and identities. Although Lin Qing was surprised, she was more proud of her daughter and son-in-law.

At the same time, Li Lun, Tang Ke and Ai Li also returned home to reunite with their families. They shared their experiences in the academy and let their families feel their growth and progress.

The one-week vacation passed quickly, and the five returned to the academy on time and began their intense and orderly training life. They were full of expectations and confidence, ready to win glory for the academy on the national stage.

However, just as they were training hard, Gao De and other senior students came to them again. But this time, they were not as arrogant as before, but showed a hint of fear and dissatisfaction.

“Jiang Che, we admit that you are indeed very strong now. However, we do not think that you can represent the academy in the national competition.” Gao De said coldly, “So, we want to challenge you again to see if you are really qualified to represent the academy.”

Jiang Che and the others smiled at each other. They were not angry at Gao De’s provocation. On the contrary, they felt that this was a good opportunity to test their own strength.

“Well, since you want to challenge us, we will accept it.” Jiang Che said calmly, “However, I hope this challenge can be fairer. Don’t use tricks like last time.”

“Don’t worry, we will compete fairly this time.” Gao De said, “Let’s set the date in three days. You can choose the location.”

“Surname, I’ll let Li Lun inform you then.” After Jiang Che said this, he took Lin Xiaoxiao away.

Jiang Che didn’t want to waste these three days, so he took Lin Xiaoxiao to travel and play in various places.

Three days later, Jiang Che and Lin Xiaoxiao arrived at the agreed challenge location on time. Gao De and other senior students were already waiting there, and both sides’ eyes were full of fighting spirit.

“Jiang Che, we won’t show mercy this time.” Gao De said coldly, and the students behind him echoed him, rubbing their hands, eager to give it a try.

Jiang Che smiled calmly, “We don’t intend to ask you to show mercy. However, I hope you can keep your word and compete fairly this time.”

Before he finished speaking, Gao De had already rushed up impatiently. His armor flashed with cold light, and he punched Jiang Che. Jiang Che dodged the punch easily, and at the same time, he hit Gao De’s chest with his backhand.

Gao De also reacted very quickly. He moved to the side and avoided Jiang Che’s palm strike. However, Jiang Che’s attack followed him like a shadow, and he kicked Gao De’s knee. Gao De staggered and almost fell to the ground.

At the same time, Lin Xiaoxiao also fought with Gao De’s teammates. Her movements were agile and graceful, and each attack was extremely accurate, making it difficult for the opponents to cope with it.

The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle entered a white-hot stage. However, as time went on, Gao De and others gradually showed signs of fatigue. They found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not break through Jiang Che and Lin Xiaoxiao’s defense.

Jiang Che and Lin Xiaoxiao fought more and more bravely, and each of their attacks became more fierce and more accurate. Gao De and others were beaten back step by step, without any chance to fight back.

Finally, in a fierce battle, Jiang Che seized a flaw in Gao De and knocked him to the ground with one punch. As Gao De fell, his teammates also lost their fighting spirit and chose to surrender.

“We lost…” Gao De panted and looked at Jiang Che and Lin Xiaoxiao unwillingly, “You are indeed very strong. We admit that you are qualified to represent the academy in the national competition.”

Jiang Che smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pulled God up: “We just won by luck. You are also very strong. I hope we can meet again on the national stage.”

humiliation!Naked humiliation!
Jiang Che’s words seemed humble on the surface, but they were actually humiliating them!
How could Gao De not know this?
