335: This is Sister Xiao's true strength.

"So powerful."

Gao Yao looked at Xiao Niannian with admiration. She had practiced shooting this subject countless times and could hit fifty points, but she had never managed to put five shots into one bullet hole. Even hitting two shots into one bullet hole was extremely rare for her.

"I really admire you."

Meng Ning also looked at Xiao Niannian with appreciation. Now, she felt even more certain in her heart.

Student Xiao Niannian's family background was unclear, but her ability and talent were truly outstanding. Perhaps some of it was nurtured by practice, or perhaps her talent was just this formidable.

"What's so great about that? She only won the shooting event. In martial arts, Xiao Niannian definitely can't beat Classmate Shen Yan," Xiao Yu said, somewhat annoyed.

"Yu Yu is right. If you're so capable, why don't you beat Shen Yan?"

Listening to their provocative words, Xiao Niannian curved her lips.

"Exactly, class two hasn't lost. This is only the first event. You definitely can't beat Shen Yan."

"Then it's a draw."

"If it's a draw, we won't have to be punished."

"That's right."

After the tactical training class, once the teachers and Instructors had left, Xiao Yu brought a few people over.

Shen Yan also led his people toward the Class One students.

"Sister Xiao, when should we start the competition?"

Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xiao Niannian smiled.

"Let's start now."

Shen Yan smiled and nodded.

"Alright."

The students from Class One and class two immediately spread out, forming a large circle to watch Xiao Niannian and Shen Yan.

"Sister Xiao, you go first."

Shen Yan decided to be a gentleman.

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian looked at Shen Yan, nodded, and attacked him.

Shen Yan was initially very confident. He had planned internally that he needed to save face for Sister Xiao, exchange a few moves, and then defeat her, resulting in a draw where neither Sister Xiao nor he lost.

When he faced Xiao Niannian, he initially only used fifty percent of his strength. Xiao Niannian sensed Shen Yan's movement and only used twenty to thirty percent of hers.

Shen Yan's expression changed. After several exchanges, he realized that every move he made was neutralized by Sister Xiao.

So, was Sister Xiao doing that on purpose just now?

He sped up and made his attacks heavier, though he still maintained control.

But even after adding twenty to thirty percent more strength, Sister Xiao still neutralized his moves.

This isn't right.

Shen Yan looked at Xiao Niannian and saw that her expression was calm.

"Sister Xiao, show your true strength."

Xiao Yu, Yang Mei, and the others didn't quite understand, but they loudly cheered for Shen Yan.

"Go Shen Yan, beat Xiao Niannian."

"Shen Yan must win."

Xiao Niannian heard Shen Yan's words and uttered a single word.

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian kicked toward Shen Yan. Shen Yan abruptly retreated several steps, looking at Xiao Niannian in shock.

He was certain he could have dodged that kick, but Sister Xiao shifted, leaving him nowhere to evade.

That single kick left his chest throbbing slightly.

This is Sister Xiao's true strength.

"Shen Yan must win."

Xiao Yu and the others were still shouting loudly.

"Beat Xiao Niannian."

"Classmate Xiao must win."

"Class One wins class two."

Shen Yan walked toward Xiao Niannian.

"Sister Xiao, I surrender."

Upon hearing this single sentence, all the surrounding students were shocked.

It could be said that Shen Yan was practically undefeated in the Military Academy. Furthermore, Shen Yan had learned not only Military Boxing but also martial arts from several other schools, and he had sparred with the Instructors at the Military Academy many times before.

He had even defeated the school's Instructors once or twice.

"Shen Yan, you must be going easy on her, you were clearly fighting so well just now."

"Did you lose to Xiao Niannian on purpose?"

"I don't believe it, Shen Yan, how could you possibly lose to Xiao Niannian?"

Xiao Yu and Yang Mei loudly questioned him.

Xiao Niannian looked at Shen Yan and said with a smile.

"Your martial arts are decent. But you still need to practice hard."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Shen Yan thought of Brother Lu, whom he feared the most. Brother Lu used to beat him up and then tell him to practice hard.

Besides his older brother training him, Brother Lu also trained him.

In that instant just now, he felt the same terrifying strength as Brother Lu.

That's why he immediately surrendered.

He suddenly thought of something. His older brother had told him to treat Sister Xiao well. He had originally thought it was an order from the elders in the family. But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.

Sister Xiao knew his older brother. His older brother was a Military Doctor in the Special Forces and one of the Special Instructors. Could Sister Xiao be a Team Member of the Special Forces?

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yan looked at Xiao Niannian with sparkling eyes.

"Sister Xiao, are you the same kind of person as my older brother?"

Xiao Niannian nodded.

"Wo..."

Shen Yan directly uttered a national essence.

He knew it! Sister Xiao had been impressive in all the training sessions these past few days. Although she wasn't first in every single event, it was like she was controlling her score, always ranking in the top three.

Now he finally understood.

However, his older brother had warned him that Sister Xiao's identity must not be leaked.

He also came from a Military Family and knew about keeping secrets. He would definitely not reveal Sister Xiao's identity.

"Sister Xiao, please guide me more in the future."

Li He was also surprised when he saw Xiao Niannian's kick just now.

Being able to kick Shen Yan back several meters with one foot—that wasn't right.

Did Shen Yan lose to Xiao Niannian on purpose? He thought about Shen Yan calling her "Sister Xiao" repeatedly. But Shen Yan was someone who valued his dignity the most, yet he had lost to Xiao Niannian in front of so many people.

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Meng Ning watched Xiao Niannian's movements, and her thoughts were different from everyone else's. She felt that Xiao Niannian had genuinely defeated Shen Yan.

Shen Yan's martial arts were good, and he had learned a lot, but Shen Yan wouldn't possibly fake it.

"We won."

"Class One won."

Many Class One students cheered loudly.

Previously, some people disliked Xiao Niannian, thinking she had used her influence to transfer into the class. But now, this competition was enough to prove Xiao Niannian's strength was greater than all of theirs.

Even if they got extremely lucky, none of them could put five shots into one bullet hole.

In the match between Xiao Niannian and Shen Yan, they absolutely couldn't withstand Shen Yan's attacks that many times, let alone deliver that kick that made Shen Yan retreat so many steps.

Now they had truly accepted Xiao Niannian.

Most importantly, they had won against class two.

Xiao Niannian had helped them vent their frustration.

"Brother Shen, you didn't really concede, did you?"

"Classmate Shen, how could you lose to Classmate Xiao?"

Shen Yan looked at Xiao Yu and the others and said mockingly.

"If you lose, you must admit it. Starting today, you will clean the school toilets for a month."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu trembled with rage.

If anyone else had said it, she definitely wouldn't have admitted defeat. But she didn't dare refute Shen Yan's words. Still, she was incredibly angry inside, and she glared furiously at Xiao Niannian. It was all Xiao Niannian's fault; if it weren't for Xiao Niannian, why would Shen Yan treat her like this?

class two wouldn't have lost either.
