Iron Barrel Challenge

Xiao Jing returned to her dorm and laid on her bed. Her chest wasn't tied with white strips of paper. She turned over and stared at the door of the dorm without blinking.

Perhaps it was out of guilt, but she couldn't help but want to bend over and try to avoid everyone's gaze.

Unknowingly, the night was quiet.

"Dong, dong, dong."

The hurried knocking woke Xiao Jing up from her slumber.

Xiao Jing reflexively sat up. Her head instantly went blank. She looked towards the door and gently patted her face. She vigilantly asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Second Lieutenant Xiao."

Lin Qi's voice was somewhat rapid, as if something very serious had happened.

Xiao Jing opened the door a little and smiled at the person. "Why have you come to my place in the middle of the night at the Forest Academy?"

Lin Qi nodded, his expression serious. "I heard that Jiang Xin and the others were talking about this. I heard that there will be a test tomorrow to deal with you and Qin Yishan."

"What do you mean?"

"Because you two have the lowest scores these days, you two are going to challenge each other. The loser will be sent back immediately."

Xiao Jing was stunned. Although Qin Yishan wasn't the strongest amongst them, he was the elite of the 118 troops. Everyone knew that he was skilled in firearms.

The two challenged each other. It was about Glory. If he chose to use firearms, would he still have any hope of winning?

"As soon as I heard this news, I came to tell you. Think carefully about what you are good at and prepare yourself. If tomorrow you two really want to challenge each other, you can also leave a sliver of a chance for survival."

Lin Qi patted Xiao Jing's shoulder meaningfully.

Xiao Jing closed the door. What was she good at?

She had been living in the 525 group for three years. Not to mention any firearms, even if she threw a gun in front of her, she still might not be able to recognize this thing's name.

Xiao Jing scratched her head as she lay back on the bed. For a moment, she couldn't sleep.

At 5 AM in the morning, when the sun was breaking, a corner of the dark sky seemed to have been cracked by something. Rarely, light rushed out in all directions, lighting up the entire night sky.

District B's 4th Battalion was enveloped in beams of light, as if it was daytime.

Xiao Jing was the last person to reach the 4th Battalion. Looking at the line-up before her, she felt that this was her life and death battle.

More than half of the members of the Iron Eagle Squadron had arrived. Everyone was excitedly forming a circle, as if discussing some interesting topic.

"Line up."

Mu Xi looked at the last person, who had arrived late, and shouted with a sonorous and forceful voice.

Xiao Jing stood at the end of the crowd with a metal barrel in her hand.

Lin Qi asked in a low voice, "Why did you bring a barrel here?"

Xiao Jing smiled. "Didn't you say you wanted to take out something I'm good at?"

Lin Qi frowned, so he gave up on himself and brought a barrel over?

As usual, Shen Chengfeng was wearing long clothes, pants, a military cap and a cape. His entire body was wrapped up like a zongzi as he slowly walked over.

"Captain, everyone is here."

Mu Xi reported the situation.

Qi Yue looked around at the crowd. Finally, his gaze fell on Xiao Jing, who was a bit out of place with them. He asked in surprise, "Why did he bring an iron barrel here?"

No one knew Xiao Jing's intentions.

Qi Yue teased, then said, "Maybe someone deliberately leaked the news to let him know what we're going to do today."

Shen Chengfeng looked to the side and their eyes met. He said, "Is that important?"

"I don't really care about the process. As long as I end up with the result, today is their last chance. If they lose, they can go back and continue training. My Iron Eagle is never a charity camp."

"Captain, you're right. I'll wait and see what happens in the challenge today."

Qin Yishan walked out from the crowd, faced the two leaders, and lowered his military salute with his head held high and chest puffed out: "Sir."

Qi Yue nodded. "You and Xiao Jing were last in yesterday's match, so according to the rules, you will be taking the next test today. Challenge one another, remember, each person will only have one chance to accept the challenge."

Qin Yi Shan subconsciously looked towards Xiao Jing. He couldn't help but clench his fists. To challenge Xiao Jing, he had to depend on his own ability to completely crush her.

However, his iron barrel was extremely eye-catching. Just what was inside?

Without knowing the enemy's feelings, he could only choose his most powerful weapon to defeat him and win the first point.

"I've already made up my mind. I choose to shoot 50 meters in three seconds."

Qin Yishan spoke of his challenge with an imposing manner.

Xiao Jing's heart skipped a beat. She had expected that Qin Yishan would choose a gun, but it turned out to be a rapid shot. This was completely her deathtrap.

"What about you, Xiao Jing?"

Qi Yue's gaze fell on the last position of the crowd. He should be able to tell the purpose of this barrel by now.

Xiao Jing took a step forward and powerfully replied, "Instructor, you mean that we will challenge each other to choose our best option, and that we can choose any ability other than training, right?"

"Yes."

"Then this is the iron barrel that I challenged Qin Yishan to."

Xiao Jing carried the metal barrel and placed it on the table.

Qi Yue took a closer look. When he saw that the metal barrel was filled with more than half a barrel of transparent liquid, he asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"

"Who can drink fast enough to challenge him?"

Xiao Jing shook her head and explained seriously, "There's 99% sulfuric acid in here."

When he said this, the entire audience went deathly silent.

With a concentration of 99% sulfuric acid, what was Xiao Jing trying to do?

Does mutual injury splash sulfuric acid play?

The corner of Qi Yue's mouth twitched. "What are you doing here with this thing?"

"Didn't the instructor say that he would choose his strongest point to challenge the other party?"

That's my strength. "

After she finished speaking, Xiao Jing took out a small step and placed it into the metal barrel to verify whether the liquid was really corrosive. In that instant, white smoke began to billow out.

The more Qi Yue stared, the more he didn't understand his intentions.

After a short moment, Xiao Jing took out the cloth and placed it on the table again. Only a small piece was left, the rest of it had been completely burnt away, only leaving behind a pinch of ash.

Shen Chengfeng looked at the carefree Xiao Jing and gently knocked on the table with his fingertips as if he was thinking of something serious.

"What are you trying to do?"

Qi Yue frowned slightly and emphasized his words.

"My point is clear. My challenge is to wash my hands with sulfuric acid."

With these words, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Jing easily reached into the iron barrel. Facing the dozens of eyes, she began to stir the sulfuric acid with a concentration of 99 ingredients as if she was washing her hands in clear water!
