In an unforeseen twist of fate, Zhou Yuan finds himself in a parallel world, destined to join the ranks of the Human Federation's military academy as a budding cadet. His arrival stirs the cosmic landscape, given that he is armed with the arcane yet formidable 'Soul Exchange System,' a tool that reshapes his path to power. The laws of the federation and the daunting data on the insectoid adversaries leave Zhou Yuan reeling. Murderous acts in this realm demand bizarre tributes like peanuts, while confronting the insectoids - the lowest of which surpasses the might of a sturdy bull - presents a grotesque reality he must adapt to. However, the soul system notification chimes a tune of fate. "Alert: Congratulations, host has successfully bonded with the system. You have been rewarded with five third-level soul gift boxes, three second-level soul gift boxes, and one first-level soul gift box."

Chapter 14: Ditz Joins!

"No one dares to stand up?" 

"Are there only two tough guys in my class?" 

Seeing the recruits avoiding his gaze, Simms pressed on, his tone becoming harsher. 

Got it! 

As long as he scared these recruits and made them understand the power of the instructor, his training arrangements would go smoothly from now on. 

"Recruit Flores reporting, sir!" 

Just then, a voice rang out from not far away. 

Everyone turned to look and saw a female soldier with a backpack. 

She was wearing the recruit training uniform, so she must have just joined the military. However, it was unclear why she was here during training time. 

"Díaz?" 

Rico was shocked, his face suddenly turning sour. 

The last time they met, Díaz told him that she wanted to join the Lima tennis team and become a professional tennis player. 

But now, she appeared in the army! 

He believed that Díaz came here because of him! 

Because Díaz liked him, had liked him for several years, even though he already had a girlfriend. But Díaz never gave up and always found ways to get closer to him. 

This made him uncomfortable, it felt strange. 

After all, you can't force feelings, and Díaz's pursuit had already become a burden to him. 

"The plot doesn't disappoint me!" 

Zhou Yuan had known that Díaz would come and winked at Díaz across from Simms. 

"This is a document, sir!" 

Díaz saw Zhou Yuan's gaze, her mouth slightly curved, then took out a piece of paper from her backpack and handed it to Simms. 

"I want to know the reason." 

Simms didn't even look at the document, he just asked calmly. 

Díaz Flores, a new recruit at the West Hemisphere Alex Fortress, submitted a transfer application to join his recruit class last night. As an instructor, he had the authority to approve or reject it, and he chose to approve it. 

Because Díaz had good physical talents, above-average intelligence, and had experience working part-time at a communication company, she had the potential to become a signal soldier. 

Transferring was that simple, as long as it was the same level and the same area of teams, as long as the original team and the intended team both agreed, you could transfer. 

"I heard that there is the best instructor here, sir!" 

Díaz knew how to speak, her serious expression was perfect for flattery, it was like stating a fact. 

"I'm not the best instructor, but this is indeed the best recruit camp." 

Simms pursed his lips, then his face suddenly changed, and he leaned closer to Díaz, his voice cold: 

"Tell me, what qualifications do you have to join the best recruit camp?" 

"Snap!" 

Instead of answering, Díaz took two steps back. 

She dropped her backpack and transfer application to the side, then assumed a fighting stance, beckoning to Simms. 

"Cool!" 

"To be honest, I've fallen in love with this girl!" 

"This girl is in trouble!" 

Seeing this, the recruits' formation became more chaotic, and a buzz of discussion broke out. Even Zhou Yuan cheered and supported her. 

"Come on, sweetheart." 

Simms lightly jumped and relaxedly said. 

Today's mission would be overachieved, defeating three recruits in a row would be enough to impress this group of rookies. 

"Sweetheart?" 

Díaz's face immediately turned dark when she heard that, she raised her fists, looking for an opportunity to attack. 

But Simms was skilled in close combat and easily avoided Díaz's attacks, locking onto her right hand. 

However, Simms did not expect Díaz's flexibility. She twisted her arm around and finally landed a left punch on Simms' face. 

Unfortunately, Simms was too "meaty". 

For Simms, Díaz's punch was like hitting cotton, not even enough to make him turn his head. 

In the next moment. 

Simms executed a high-speed sweeping kick, directly flipping Díaz to the ground, then used his knee to press against her neck. 

"Rookie, get up and stand at the back of the line!" 

It wasn't until Díaz's eyes started rolling back and showed signs of passing out that Simms let go. 

"Phew..." 

Díaz knew she had gained the instructor's approval. She picked up her backpack and transfer application, smiling as she joined the formation. 

At this moment. 

Zhou Yuan saw that Rico, who was standing to his right, wasn't very happy. 

Tsk tsk... 

He really doesn't know how to appreciate his fortune. A woman who is willing to follow you through life and death, and you don't want her? 

Even if you have a girlfriend, can't you just be friends with her? 

... ...

Four hours later, the morning training ended. 

The morning training was easy, so easy that it could be said there was no training at all. 

Simms didn't start off with intense exercises, he taught subjects that everyone already knew, such as forming formations, marching in formation, and other basics. 

"F*ck, I really want to take down Simms!" 

"He's really dumb, making us learn how to walk for a whole morning, we're not babies!" 

"Be careful, don't let him hear you, he's not someone to mess with." 

"Damn it, I really want to teach Simms a lesson!"

"Seriously, he made us learn how to walk all morning. We're not babies!"

"Watch out, don't let him hear you. He's not someone you want to mess with."

As the group made their way to the cafeteria, they chatted casually about Sim, all the while remembering the hazing they had received that morning. During training, Sim had even used his cane to hit several of them. In just a few short hours, Sim had become known as the "damn devil" in the eyes of most of the new recruits in Third Platoon. Ron was one of the most vocal about their dislike of Sim.

After the initial hazing, Ron had been injured by Sim's cane and had to have his broken bone reset by the medic. He was given a makeshift sleeve to wear, but he didn't feel any pain thanks to the medication. Despite his injuries, Sim had shown no mercy and had beaten him with his cane more than ten times that morning.

"Sim is in the main hall. If you want to take him down, go ahead. If you think you can," Kevin said, taunting Ron.

"Maybe you don't know, but you almost beat him yourself before he beat you up," Kevin continued, praising Zhou Yuan while putting down Ron.

Hearing Kevin's words, the others nodded in agreement. One was only good at boasting and looking down on others, while the other had real skills and a good personality. It was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker.

"F*ck!" Ron exploded upon being mocked by Kevin.

However, he quickly calmed down and fell silent after muttering a few curses under his breath. After returning to the team, he learned about what had happened in his absence. He couldn't believe that little Zhou Yuan, who was only 1.85 meters tall, could fight Sim for so long. It was clear that Zhou Yuan was not Sim's match.

Kevin, the foul-mouthed guy, seemed to be Zhou Yuan's subordinate. It was better not to mess with him unnecessarily.

"Kevin, let it go," Zhou Yuan spoke up, stepping forward and patting Ron's shoulder. He turned to Kevin and said, "We will be comrades and friends who can trust each other with our lives. Ron is just too direct sometimes, and although this way of speaking can sometimes make people uncomfortable, it is the character that a man should have."

"Believe me, we will become friends. To combat Sim, we need everyone's strength."

Ji Ji Ji~

Join me, Ron! Bring your talents to serve under my command as Zhou Yuan!
