ABLO Chapter 35

Li Zhan turned around tiredly, wanting to go back and get away from Ruan Mian’s curse-like voice.

Just as he turned around, a man suddenly rushed over from behind. The man ran straight to Ruan Mian, shouting: “Who told you to talk to my Brother Li like that! I’m going to fight you.”

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment before he realized that this man was a crazy admirer of his, Sun Qiuqiu. Although Sun Qiuqiu was also a soldier in the Blue Wolf Unit, Sun Qiuqiu usually worked in the kitchen and rarely came out to participate in training. This time, the reason he appeared here was to watch him compete.

Sun Qiuqiu appeared too suddenly, and everyone was caught off guard. It was too late to stop him. Sun Qiuqiu rushed to Ruan Mian without stopping.

Ruan Mian was stunned and took a step back unconsciously. Sun Qiuqiu stared with his eyes wide open, and without thinking, he stretched out his hand to hit Ruan Mian.

When his hand was about to fall on Ruan Mian’s face, he was knocked to the ground by Lu Yang with a punch.

“You want to touch my Omega?” Lu Yang’s body tensed, looked down at Sun Qiuqiu, and his body was full of frost.

He narrowed his eyes gloomily, and started to beat him without saying a word.

Sun Qiuqiu, despite being less talented and unable to fight on the front lines, was exceptionally tall and strong, making him nearly unbeatable in a fistfight. However, to everyone’s surprise, he was knocked down by a single punch from Lu Yang and couldn’t get up for a long time. This unexpected outcome not only shattered people’s perceptions of Sun Qiuqiu but also made them view Lu Yang’s strength with new respect.

Everyone looked at Lu Yang, who looked thin and slender, and they were a little scared.

Sun Qiuqiu shook his head and tried hard to get up from the ground. He propped up his upper body and crawled forward a few times.

Lu Yang’s face was as gloomy as rain, and he stepped on Sun Qiuqiu with one foot. Then his fist fell on Sun Qiuqiu’s body like a storm, relentlessly pounding Sun Qiuqiu. During his movements, an intense pheromone emanated from him unconsciously.

The surrounding officers and soldiers, who had been thoroughly engrossed in the fight, suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure from the powerful pheromones. They found their legs growing weak and their hearts trembling. Even though they were top Alphas themselves, Lu Yang’s pheromones were enough to dominate them, which suggested that Lu Yang must be at the pinnacle of top Alphas.

Previously, they hadn’t paid much attention to Lu Yang because he had undergone a genetic mutation, evolving from an Omega into an Alpha. They had assumed that, even if he were an Alpha, he wouldn’t be exceptionally formidable.

But at this moment, they had to admit that Lu Yang was stronger than everyone present. In order to resist the pressure of pheromones emitted, they could only release pheromones themselves.

Although Ruan Mian had long been accustomed to Lu Yang’s pheromones, the combined scent of so many Alphas releasing their pheromones at once overwhelmed his senses. As a small Omega among a crowd of Alphas, he couldn’t help but shiver and instinctively take a step back.

He knew he should go farther away, but he was really worried about Lu Yang and was reluctant to leave. He persisted for a while and accidentally turned into a lop-eared rabbit.

The lop-eared rabbit was stunned and huddled on the ground helplessly. Fortunately, the other Alphas were focused on Lu Yang and did not notice that he had changed back to his animal form.

Grandpa Lu quickly hugged the lop-eared rabbit in his arms and moved back away from the battlefield.

As a Beta, Li Zhan could not smell pheromones, so he was not affected at all. He stared at Lu Yang’s clenched fists and did not move at all.

Lu Yang’s movements were clean and efficient. When he was hitting, he was very adept, putting his strength precisely where it mattered with each strike. It was clear that he was a skilled fighter.

Although Lu Yang was hitting faster and faster, with his eyes growing brighter, Li Zhan kept his gaze fixed on Lu Yang’s movements, studying his techniques and thinking about how he would respond if he were in the same situation.

Sun Qiuqiu was clearly no match for Lu Yang. Every counterattack he attempted was skillfully neutralized by Lu Yang. Li Zhan watched with great excitement but felt that Sun Qiuqiu was simply too weak, making it less satisfying to watch. If he were the one fighting, he was certain he would be able to exchange more blows with Lu Yang.

He couldn’t help but rub his hands, and wanted to fight with Lu Yang on the spot.

He rolled his eyes, stomped his feet in frustration, looked at Lu Yang, and suddenly shouted: “Sun Qiuqiu, I’ll help you!”

Faced with such a great temptation, the little rabbit’s earlier earnest advice just seemed to dissipate into the wind. He’ll deal with it again tomorrow and be a good Beta then!

He rushed over, grabbed Lu Yang’s shoulders, and pulled back hard.

Lu Yang didn’t even blink, grabbed his hand and threw him over his shoulder.

Li Zhan is not Sun Qiuqiu. He was thrown to the ground, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he became more and more bold. He jumped up from the ground, and caught Lu Yang’s fist with one hand.

Lu Yang exerted force with his wrist, pressing down hard, causing the movement to pass between his hands. The two of them exchanged blows, each punch packed with strength, neither willing to back down, and neither holding back in their attacks.

After exchanging several moves, Li Zhan’s strength began to wane, while Lu Yang’s attacks grew increasingly fierce. Li Zhan struggled to keep up with Lu Yang’s punches, and if he hadn’t pulled back quickly enough, he probably would have been bruised and battered by now.

Grandpa Lu, holding Ruan Mian in his arms, watched Lu Yang from a distance with a passionate gaze. He saw in Lu Yang the shadow of his younger self and recognized the qualities that a member of the Lu family should have.

He reached out and touched the lop-eared rabbit in his arms, and suddenly spoke with some emotion, “Actually, when Baby Lu was a child, he wanted to be a soldier. He got up every morning and marched in a very orderly manner, just like a soldier. Before he was seven years old, his birthday wish was to become an excellent soldier when he grew up. He said he wanted to grow up quickly and wear a military uniform.”

Grandpa Lu paused, his voice a little weary, “Later, he presented as an Omega and knew that according to the Interstellar Regulations, he could not become a soldier. He was lost for a long time. From then on, he gave up on himself. He no longer got up in the morning and marched, and no longer said that he liked military uniforms. He always said that soldiers were smelly and rough, and that he didn’t like soldiers at all. We couldn’t bear to make him sad, so we didn’t mention these past events in front of him. In order to make up for him, the family began to spoil him more and more from that time on. We spoiled him little by little into what he is today.”

Hearing Grandpa Lu’s words, the lop-eared rabbit stared at Lu Yang with round eyes. Lu Yang’s skin was very white. After being soaked in sweat, it was crystal clear in the sun. His hair was neatly pulled back, with a few strands slightly sticking up, giving him an air of unruliness. His eyes were bright, reflecting the kind of light one has when facing an opponent.

Ruan Mian’s long eyelashes fluttered gently, and his drooping rabbit ears seemed to express his misery.

It turns out, his Baby Lu had been so deeply saddened when he was unaware. While he was still naive and clueless, Baby Lu had already experienced the pain of shattered dreams. The little Baby Lu had long buried his small dreams deep in his heart.

Because of his deep affection, he dared not bring it up again. Because of his deep affection, he feared to touch it lightly. Afraid that the dream might still be just an illusion and shatter again, he could only pretend not to care and pretend not to desire it.

In the interval between the fights, Lu Yang looked up at Ruan Mian, who had returned to his original form due to the pressure of pheromones. He saw Ruan Mian’s ears drooping in misery, and he couldn’t help but frown.

He didn’t want to waste any more time, and just wanted to finish the match. He looked into Li Zhan’s eyes, and his eyes darkened. His hands moved faster, and his strength became heavier.

Li Zhan was caught off guard by the sudden intensity of his offenses. His movements became flustered, revealing obvious flaws.

He grabbed Li Zhan’s wrists, twisted his arms behind his back, and held his hands backwards, pressing them to the ground.

Li Zhan was caught off guard and was manhandled by him. Despite struggling forcefully a few times, Lu Yang’s strength was so great that he couldn’t move at all. Lying on the ground, Li Zhan felt a heavy sense of defeat in his heart, realizing that he had lost.

Seeing that he was no longer moving, Lu Yang let go of his hand, stopped fighting, and walked towards Ruan Mian.

Li Zhan got up from the ground, patted the dirt off his body, and rolled his shoulders. Apart from some pain, he had no serious wounds. He knew that Lu Yang had just shown mercy, so he was not seriously injured. Otherwise, with Lu Yang’s strength, he would have at least strained his muscles.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for Lu Yang. If he had previously looked down on Lu Yang, now he viewed him with newfound respect and recognized his abilities. It would be best if he could find more opportunities to spar with Lu Yang in the future.

The soldiers who had watched such an exhilarating match were all excited and deeply respectful towards Lu Yang. They felt a sense of admiration, gazing at him with respect and applauding enthusiastically.

Grandpa Lu couldn’t help but smile. These people didn’t know Lu Yang’s identity and only thought that Lu Yang was an ordinary soldier. The eyes with which they looked at Lu Yang now were the most sincere and pure. This was what Lu Yang won back with his own skills. This was what his grandson should look like.

Ruan Mian felt the pheromones around him gradually dissipate, and the pressure on him eased. After rolling a couple of times in Grandpa Lu’s hands, he jumped to the ground and transformed back into his human form. He then hurriedly ran toward Lu Yang, his heart anxious to see if Lu Yang was injured.

Li Zhan dusted off his military uniform, stood behind Lu Yang and smiled, took two steps and said: “You are good at fighting. I admit that you are a strong Alpha. You are indeed qualified to be a member of the Blue Wolf Unit.”

Lu Yang didn’t pay attention to what Li Zhan said, or rather, he didn’t care what Li Zhan said. Whether he was qualified or not, whether he had the ability, was never decided by Li Zhan. It was all up to him.

When he passed by Sun Qiuqiu, he couldn’t help but stop and kick Sun Qiuqiu, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

After he kicked him, he looked up at Ruan Mian and pursed his lips, “Tutu, how can I be so strong! It’s all because of Grandpa sending me to the army and making my arms too strong! Do you think it will look bad?”

He spoke while moving his feet incessantly, and kicked Sun Qiuqiu forcefully. Sun Qiuqiu let out a whimper and continued to lie on the ground, making an effort to play dead.

When Li Zhan heard Lu Yang’s words, his steps couldn’t help but stop, “…”

Is it too late for him to take back what he just said?

Ruan Mian touched the muscles on Lu Yang’s arms. Lu Yang’s arm muscles were indeed a little bigger than before, but fortunately, Lu Yang still looked thin and slender, and it didn’t affect the lines of his body at all.

He let out a sigh of relief and continued to check Lu Yang for injuries. Finally, his gaze settled on Lu Yang’s hand. When Lu Yang was hitting people earlier, he had used too much force, and now there was a scratch on the back of his hand with a bit of blood. Because his skin was so fair, the wound was especially noticeable.

Ruan Mian’s pupils shrank, and he grabbed Lu Yang’s hand, “Wuwu… Baby Lu, you are injured!”

Lu Yang lowered his eyes and took a deep breath. He was always delicate. When he saw the blood on the back of his hand, his eyes were dizzy in an instant. He couldn’t stand steadily. He said in a weak voice: “Hurry, hurry and help me, my legs are weak…”

Li Zhan: “…” Regret, regret it very much.

The soldiers who just admired Lu Yang: “…” Also regret.

……

Ruan Mian hurriedly helped Lu Yang to sit down beside the tree. He looked around and saw that no one was moving. He couldn’t help but shout anxiously: “Where is the military doctor? Help! Lu Yang is injured!”

Li Zhan walked over and took a look at the ‘large’ wound on the back of Lu Yang’s hand, almost losing his breath. After a moment of awkward silence, he took out two band-aids from his pocket and solemnly handed them to Ruan Mian.

“Put these on him.”

Otherwise, the wound would heal soon.
