112: No way to get something for free

The Colonel's excitement was actually understandable to all the Presidents present.

Yu Xiu had brought them too many surprises; it was no longer just a matter of strength and Talent. This was a benefit that benefited everyone.

Whether it was the military training program or the current Mandarin Duck Formation, these were all excellent things that could enhance the overall combat power of the entire school.

Furthermore, it was unknown whether Yu Xiu would create other good things in the future.

In short, in their eyes, Yu Xiu was a shining Treasure Trove.

“I apologize, but I cannot agree to be the General Instructor right now, because I still have many things to do later,” Yu Xiu said, feigning a moment of thought. “However, the Mandarin Duck Formation can be taught to the military region, but…”

Just as Yu Xiu spoke, the President suddenly interrupted, “You foolish child, the Mandarin Duck Formation is your painstaking effort. Have you forgotten how hard you worked to create it?”

“You can’t just give it away because someone asks for it. For the strength of the nation, I understand, but you shouldn’t suffer grievances, should you?”

The Colonel naturally understood the President’s words and quickly nodded, “Exactly, the military region will definitely not take it for free. It’s the old rule, we will exchange resources for it.”

The President laughed heartily, “What resources? The power of the Mandarin Duck Formation benefits both the country and the people. If the army learns it, their combat power will definitely reach a higher level.”

“Besides, this is just one Mandarin Duck Formation. Yu Xiu can create one, and he will certainly create more later.”

“Actually…”

The President suddenly glared at the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy and reprimanded, “What military merits? They are already willing to give resources, how can you still ask for military merits? Isn’t that insatiable greed?”

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy looked bewildered.

I don’t think I said anything, did I?

That old geezer is tricking me again.

Despite this, the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy still chose to cooperate, saying with a resentful expression, “President, this is a battle formation! Yu Xiu even delayed his Cultivation to create the Mandarin Duck Formation.”

“Those experts in research institutes even have patents for the things they develop!”

“They have status and position, and they have military merits and honor for their resources.”

“The Mandarin Duck Formation created by Yu Xiu should be no worse than those experts’, right?”

“Why be so stingy and just dismiss him with a few resources?”

“This is bullying!”

The President sighed, “Dean Jiang, I know you care for Yu Xiu, but practicing martial arts for the rise of Huaxia is the ideal of each of us, and I believe Yu Xiu feels the same way.”

“So what if he takes a loss!”

“Anyway, Yu Xiu will be very busy later, with so many things to do. Taking the resources and diligently Cultivating, he can also take a break!”

The people around them watched the two playing their act, their faces full of disdain.

But when the Colonel heard the President’s last sentence, he couldn’t help but inwardly complain.

This is a threat to me!

The minds of scholars are truly devious.

But there was no other way.

Who told us to be so fond of battle formations!

The Mandarin Duck Formation is already so powerful, which shows Yu Xiu’s Talent.

Presumably, there will definitely be more powerful battle formations later. If it’s really as the President said and he stops creating battle formations, then it would be a huge loss.

So he quickly interjected, “President Shen, Dean Jiang is right. The Mandarin Duck Formation created by Yu Xiu benefits both the country and the people. Giving resources is indeed not enough; military merits must be given.”

“I have decided on this matter. I will report it to the higher-ups immediately. Yu Xiu must be given generous rewards.”

The President feigned helplessness, “You, sigh, since that’s the case, once Yu Xiu receives the resources and military merits, I will immediately have him diligently teach the Mandarin Duck Formation to the military region.”

The Colonel was startled by these words but had no choice but to nod, “Very well!”

Yu Xiu, on the other hand, watched the entire process with a suspicious expression. The President’s shamelessness was truly extraordinary, but he liked it very much.

“Since everything is settled, let the military training exchange competition continue!” the President said with a loud laugh.

Next.

The military training exchange competition resumed.

However, after Huaxia University demonstrated the Mandarin Duck Formation, the battles of the other schools could no longer attract everyone’s attention and interest.

Instead, they found this chaotic fighting style crude and completely lacking in aesthetic appeal.

Even the Presidents of the winning schools showed no joy.

It was all because of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

Ending the battle in three minutes.

And without a single injury.

With such a record, no matter how well the subsequent teams performed, it was still unsatisfactory.

An hour later.

All school battles concluded.

At this point, the President of Huaxia University suddenly said, “Everyone, since the military training exchange competition has ended, please go back!”

“We still have many things to do here at our school, so I won’t entertain you further.”

He knew what these Presidents were planning; they simply wanted to freeload Yu Xiu’s training.

Moreover, after the military training exchange competition, having witnessed the Mandarin Duck Formation, they were even more eager to leave these students behind for Yu Xiu to train.

They had actually discovered it.

Although they also mimicked Yu Xiu’s military training program in their own schools, the training results were completely different.

With the same military training method.

Huaxia University was like wolves, a fierce pack of wolves, while their students were completely like a flock of sheep, a flock of sheep with a little bit of Aura.

Just Yu Xiu’s single word “battle” caused the Aura displayed by Huaxia University’s students to astonish these Presidents.

They were even fiercer than the new recruits who came from the military region.

Comparing them like this.

They weren’t fools.

The main reason still lay with Yu Xiu.

“President Shen, since it’s a military training exchange competition, it can’t just end hastily after one team battle, can it?”

“The subsequent military training programs can be conducted together, which can also promote communication between the schools.”

“Furthermore, with several schools training together, there will also be a sense of competition among the students.”

“This way, it will benefit both the students and the schools.”

“That’s right, President Shen, President Li is right. The reason we hold the military training exchange competition is to promote communication!”

“If it’s just simply coming to fight a battle, it really goes against the original intention of the exchange competition.”

The Colonel actually wanted to speak as well; he also wanted to keep these new recruits at Huaxia University and have Yu Xiu train them.

However, thinking of the benefits he had just received, and having been tricked by the President of Huaxia University, he didn’t dare to interrupt again.

Although he was willing to be tricked for the Mandarin Duck Formation, being tricked still left a bad taste in his mouth.

“What nonsense about the original intention of the military training exchange competition,” the President of Huaxia University snorted coldly. “You come here to fight a battle, and then you still want to bring your students to eat and live with us? How can there be such a good thing?”

“Anyway, our school has limited space and cannot accommodate so many of you.”

The other Presidents naturally understood the meaning behind his words, but they kept pretending to be foolish.

They just hoped that with their numerical advantage, they could gain a bit of moral high ground.

However, they clearly underestimated the thick skin of the President of Huaxia University.

I don’t care about your moral high ground.

In short, freeloading is out of the question.
