A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1184 The New Green Dragon Leader

The two of them walked away as they bantered.

Lin Qing-He went back to his quarters. Chen Lan returned home to pack up and prepare to move to the army and start his military career. However, Chen Lan swung back to the Green Dragon Force training grounds before he left.

The atmosphere in the room was gloomy.

Li Zi-Yang and the others slumped their shoulders after losing and sat dejectedly without saying a word.

They looked absolutely defeated.

They were clearly very affected by their crushing defeat.

They didn't think that they wouldn't even survive a single blow from their opponent.

"Captain, do you think we are not cut for martial arts? I feel like I have disgraced Instructor Chu after losing so badly. I'm

sure they will definitely blame him for it, right?" Tai Shan looked at Ye Yu-Yan sadly and felt worried for Ye Fan's situation.

Even though they were the ones who had been defeated, the one who was disgraced was Ye Fan.

Tai Shan and the others naturally felt guilty.

"It's all our fault."

"We are hopeless pieces of shit!"

"We got Instructor Chu into trouble."

"Why don't we just back out of the Green Dragon Force and get Instructor Chu to choose new talent? This way, we won't keep dragging him down."

Li Zi-Yang and the others spoke guiltily.

They had no doubt Ye Fan was a capable man who deserved obeisance from the troop. Since he was bestowed the title of the Unrivalled Grandmaster, he was an extraordinary man. Hence, the only reason for their defeat was them and them alone. They were simply too mediocre.

In an instant, the proud soldiers started to doubt themselves.

That kick from Chen Lan's disciple had defeated them not only physically but also in spirit, and had destroyed all their pride.

BAM!

The moment Li Zi-Yang and the others finished saying all these things, Ye Yu-Yan suddenly kicked them to the ground.

"Captain?"

Tai Shan and the others were all bewildered and stared at Ye Yu-Yan in surprise.

"Don't call me captain! I don't have useless comrades like you! How can you think of backing out the moment you encounter some difficulty? Are you men? Are you still the same people whom Instructor Chu has personally selected? As a woman, I despise you! I honestly feel bad for Instructor Chu. Do you know how much effort he put in to train us during this month? He specially came up with a training plan and created the Green Dragon Technique just for us to learn. He even helped concocted medicinal baths to help nurse our injuries. But here you are, saying you want to give up and leave the forces. How can you answer to him and our country? You are just a bunch of cowards! I despise all of you!" shouted Ye Yu-Yan viciously with her eyes red.

"Yes, we suffered an embarrassing defeat earlier. But does a single failure mean anything? Instructor Chu once said we would have the power to create heaven only after experiencing great suffering. Only after we train until our fingers bleed will we be capable of playing the most beautiful music on earth. If you can't even withstand a little failure, what right do you have to succeed? You keep saying you've embarrassed Instructor Chu, but I think a few losses isn't embarrassing. If you want to back out every time you feel intimidated, you are deserters and cowards and will be a true disgrace. You won't be fit to be a part of Green Dragon. You won't deserve Instructor Chu's tutelage."

Every one of Ye Yu-Yan's furious words struck them like lightning as her voice exploded in the room.

Every word struck them deep inside.

Amid Ye Yu-Yan's reprimanding, Li Zi-Yang and the others felt completely embarrassed. They hung their heads and didn't even dare to look her in the eye.

Moments later, Tai Shan suddenly stood up.

"We deserved that scolding! Captain, you are right! It is not embarrassing to lose. It is only an embarrassment to give up. Since we were handpicked by Instructor Chu, we cannot give up easily. We must accomplish something and show Commander Wu, Instructor Chu and everyone what we are made of!"

"Yeah!" "What's one single defeat?"

"We can always try fighting him again!"

"We still have time."

"We cannot give up and disgrace Instructor Chu."

Li Zi-Yang, Ma Ming-Bo, and the others stood up one after another.

After Ye Yu-Yan reprimanded the Green Dragon Force, a fighting spirit sparked in everyone once more.

"That's good! That's more like it. In that case, let's continue with Instructor Chu's training plan after dinner and keep training!"

It was already 7PM, and the sky was turning dark.

Based on Ye Fan's training plan, they were to dine at 7PM, and train from 730PM till midnight before meditating in the medicinal bath. Ye Fan demanded that they meditate even in their sleep.

This part of the training was passive. All they had to do was to soak in the medicinal bath and allow their body to absorb all the goodness of the medicine.

The cooks walked in with the dinner specially prepared for the Green Dragon Force.

Tai Shan picked up his bowl and wolfed his dinner down.

For a martial artist, food and rest were as important as grueling training.

Hence, Ye Fan paid a lot of attention to these two areas.

But halfway through dinner, an older man dressed in a gray robe walked in.

The old man was none other than Chen Lan, who had just received his appointment.

"Hmm? What's he doing here?"

Li Zi-Yang and the others frowned when they saw him while an ominous sensation rose in their hearts.

After Chen Lan walked in, he said nothing and only looked around to check out their food.

There was abalone, ginseng, black chicken soup, and all kinds of rare ingredients used fortheir dinner.

Chen Lan frowned as he shouted deeply, "You useless idiots. You can't get anything right, but you certainly eat well. The country pays you to train hard and defend the nation. You aren't paid to have fun and become degenerates!"

BAM!

Chen Lan shouted as he walked over and kicked their dishes and rice pot away.

"You..."

"Damn you!"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you shout at us and kick our food away?"

They watched Chen Lan smashed all their cutlery to the floor. Tai Shan and the others instantly exploded and leapt up to fight him.

However, Chen Lan merely scoffed at their reactions.

He stood with his hands behind his back and spoke loftily in a cold voice, "Forget everything Instructor Chu has taught you and learn as I instruct you. From now on, I am the boss of the Green Dragon Force!"
