"Oh my God!"
The exclamation echoed through the crowd, a collective gasp of astonishment rippling through the thousand-strong audience. Liu Yong's performance had far surpassed their wildest expectations. It was a mesmerizing display, an instant obliteration, as he swiftly dispatched his opponents with unparalleled skill.
Liu Yong's movements were like that of a predator pouncing on its prey, effortlessly weaving through the ranks of special forces like a tiger amidst a flock of sheep. His every strike was precise, leaving no room for resistance.
Atar, taken aback by the turn of events, had initially hesitated to engage. However, compelled by a surge of adrenaline, he let out a resounding battle cry and charged towards Liu Yong.
But as Atar closed in, a colossal fist collided with his body, the impact accompanied by the explosive sound of air rupturing. The punch was swift and devastating, surpassing Atar's comprehension.
Atar's instincts screamed at him that something was amiss as he witnessed the formidable force behind that punch. Realizing he had no time to evade, he braced himself, interlocking his hands with sheer determination and channelling all his strength.
Inwardly, Atar prayed that he could withstand the blow.
When his hands made contact with the punch, an overwhelmingly formidable force overwhelmed him, rendering his resistance futile. He staggered backward, unable to withstand the sheer might of Liu Yong's strike, finally stopping after several steps.
Atar was utterly astonished.
His gaze locked onto Liu Yong, and his expression mixed with disbelief and awe.
Unrelenting, Liu Yong did not pursue Atar but continued to pummel the remaining two special forces soldiers with unyielding ferocity. Soon, the floor was strewn with bodies, and only a handful of the original twenty soldiers stood.
Driven by both determination and desperation, Atar roared, charging towards Liu Yong and delivering a forceful punch to his back. In that fleeting moment, Liu Yong turned to face him, delivering another devastating blow to knock out yet another exceptional soldier with a single punch.
Atar, seizing what he believed to be an opportune moment, poured all his strength into a powerful punch aimed at Liu Yong's back.
"Boom!"
The sound reverberated in Atar's mind as he willed for his attack to connect.
However, to his horror, a tremendous recoil surged through his fist, destabilizing his stance and forcing him to retreat two or three steps.
Liu Yong swiftly turned around, his foot connecting with Atar's body, sending him crashing to the ground with a resounding thud. The world spun around Atar as he lay heavily on the floor, momentarily incapacitated.
Liu Yong, undeterred, proceeded to dispatch the remaining three special forces soldiers with a series of precise strikes. There was not a single enemy left standing on the fighting stage.
Silence enveloped the scene.
A profound stillness settled over the onlookers, including General Said, whose expression mirrored the astonishment shared by all present.
"God, what in the world just happened?" someone muttered in disbelief.
"Why did this happen? How can our chief combat instructor and our special warfare unit soldiers be defeated so easily? It's unfathomable!" another voiced their bewilderment.
The crowd gradually regained their senses, and the once-quiet atmosphere erupted into a clamour of discussion.
"It's inconceivable. If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it!"
"Twenty-three people, unable to last three minutes. Unbelievable!"
"The people of Yan Kingdom possess unimaginable power!"
The many officers and soldiers, totalling more than a thousand, struggled to process the astounding spectacle before them. Some stood in stunned silence, their gazes fixated on the fighting ring, while others conversed animatedly with their companions, their expressions a mixture of shock and horror.
Meanwhile, Atar and the other soldiers gradually rose to their feet, their injuries thankfully not severe. Liu Yong exhibited remarkable restraint, refraining from using excessive force. Had he unleashed his full power, even their bones might have shattered upon impact.
General Said approached Liu Yong, his face adorned with a mixture of admiration and respect. "Mr. Liu, I now truly understand why only the three of you were able to vanquish nearly two hundred people in Alfred."
Liu Yong smiled confidently, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Alfred is nothing more than a fleeting obstacle. As long as you provide me with the whereabouts of the leaders of Rhodes Armed Forces, I can eliminate them as well."
Said reassured him, his voice filled with conviction. "Rest assured, we will mobilize all our resources to uncover the location of the Rhodes Armed Forces leaders and provide you with the necessary intelligence for your pursuit."
With the completion of the training and garrison base for the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group, equipped with top-notch facilities and strategically situated, Liu Yong's exceptional prowess garnered significant attention. News of his victory over the twenty-three soldiers, including Atar, had reached Hassan, who extended his warmest hospitality.
Liu Yong was compelled to remain in Sanaa for two days, accompanied by General Said throughout his stay. During this period, Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang arrived, joining Liu Yong at the training base.
Within a span of two or three days, Kang Zhenggang successfully recruited four international mercenaries, all retired special forces veterans with extensive experience in the realm of mercenaries. The reputation and attractive compensation offered by the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Regiment had enticed numerous individuals to seek membership. However, Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang exercised strict standards and rigorous selection criteria, ultimately choosing only four from the pool of applicants.
Including Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang, the Warrior Wolf Mercenary Group now boasted a total of seven members. Liu Yong acquainted himself with each of them at the training base, offering words of encouragement and bestowing upon them the "genetic drug."
Through the pet panel, Liu Yong allocated 100 attribute points to each member, instantly enhancing their physical prowess. With some training, these individuals would undoubtedly become some of the most formidable soldiers in the world.
The significance of the 100 attribute points should not be underestimated. The recipients experienced a rapid surge in physical fitness thanks to Liu Yong's intervention. Recognizing the importance of their loyalty, Liu Yong emphasized the necessity of unwavering commitment and absolute obedience.
Liu Yong warned them that a lack of loyalty would result in their expulsion from the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Corps. Moreover, if they were removed, the attribute points assigned to them could be reclaimed, leaving no chance for them to benefit from "genetic medicine" again.
He further emphasized that the effect of the "genetic medicine" they had taken was not permanent, with a validity period of just one year. This claim was, of course, a fabrication intended to strengthen their loyalty.
Mercenaries like them yearned for strength, and after experiencing the immediate enhancement provided by the "genetic drug," they desired to maintain their newfound power. Consequently, they became reluctant to entertain the notion of leaving the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group. Liu Yong went a step further, claiming that the current "genetic medicine" they had received was merely the basic version. He tantalizingly hinted at improved iterations, such as enhanced and unique enhanced versions, awaiting them in the future. Their unwavering loyalty was paramount to accessing these advancements and achieving greater strength.
Once the training was complete and each member had received the "genetic drug," Liu Yong departed with a sense of assurance. He clarified that if any member were to betray the group, he could retract the attribute points allocated to them through the pet panel.
After spending two to three days in Sanaa, Liu Yong prepared to depart and return to China. The Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group had made significant progress with Alfred eliminated and over 2.1 billion US dollars acquired. The training and garrison bases were established, and the next step involved honing their skills, fostering camaraderie, and expanding the team by recruiting exceptional individuals.
However, Hassan informed Liu Yong before his departure about the Rhodes Armed Forces' intentions to target the "United Signal," a container bulk carrier belonging to the Global Shipping Group.
