Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 342 - 341: [Never Cowardly, War Blood Boiling]

Chapter 342: Chapter 341: [Never Cowardly, War Blood Boiling]"Sato’s strength was already formidable, something I hadn’t expected, it seems the rumors about Japan’s North Star One-Cut Flow being able to rival our China’s Shaolin and Wudang, the two great Ancient Martial Sects, aren’t just hot air. On my way back, I estimated that my strength and Sato’s are closely matched, and if Japan’s genetic mutation drugs are indeed perfected, they could even help Japan dominate the world!" Ye Tianchen spoke with an undeniable touch of concern.

This wasn’t an alarmist’s hyperbole. One could imagine how these gene mutation drugs, capable of instantly unleashing a person’s potential, multiplying their combat power several-fold, would turn someone like Sato into neither human nor ghost, but rather a monster. Despite the inherent flaws of these gene mutation drugs, such as consuming one’s Life Force as the price, rendering almost no hope of survival for those who take it, the ruthless Japanese might sacrifice all their soldiers to achieve their aim of world dominion, considering the sacrifice of their own people a trivial matter for their government, known for its cruelty and internal strife.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Wuxue and Hu Long were undoubtedly shocked. They had not expected North Star One-Cut Flow’s Sato to be so powerful, nor had they anticipated the potency of the genetic mutation drugs re

"Wuxue, you can inform the others that our opponents are strong this time and that those who are not up to par will lose their lives. This is not a game. I hope everyone will strive to strengthen their training," Ye Tianchen reminded emphatically, feeling the pressure of this challenge.

"Big brother, the helm of the Northern Dipper Sword School is controlled by the Sword Emperor; he’s an unimaginably formidable opponent!" Wuxue said with some concern.

"There’s no need to worry about that. The Northern Dipper Sword School won’t take us too seriously yet because of Sato’s matter, especially someone like the Sword Emperor who ranks among the world’s top ten strongest. If he were to act over such a trivial matter, then he wouldn’t be much of a Sword Emperor. However, if the Sword Emperor really does take action, I will spare no expense to eliminate him!" Ye Tianchen’s eyes sparkled with the light of boiling war blood, without a hint of fear, even in the face of an opponent like the Sword Emperor who he may not yet be able to defeat. This is the aspect of his character that is akin to that of the Death God; the stronger his opponent, the stronger he becomes.

"Then big brother, we’ll go down and get ready!" Hu Long said.

"Right, ask Lin Duan to bring the Taie Sword over," Ye Tianchen contemplated before speaking.

After Wuxue and Hu Long left the villa, Ye Tianchen turned and walked upstairs. He knew that Xiao Ya was still very sad inside; after all, her mother had just passed away. No one could emerge from that grief so quickly. All he could do right now was to be by Xiao Ya’s side, to accompany this kind girl through the most difficult period of her life. At times like these, there was no need to say much or do anything—just being there silently was enough.

After climbing the second floor, Ye Tianchen found Xiao Ya in his study, curiously engrossed in a book, so absorbed that she did not even notice his presence as he entered and continued to read intently.

"Yaer, if you like this book, I’ll give it to you," Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Are you done with your matters?" Xiao Ya asked.

"Yes, are you hungry? Let’s go eat something. You haven’t been eating or sleeping well these past few days," Ye Tianchen expressed his concern.

"It’s okay, shall I cook noodles for you?"

Xiao Ya proposed to cook noodles for Ye Tianchen. He gave it some thought and agreed. He couldn’t always be "taking care" of Xiao Ya; doing so would keep her immersed in the sorrow of her mother’s passing. She could only gradually come out of her grief by returning to her normal life. Plus, Ye Tianchen wanted Xiao Ya to live in the villa with him, so it was good for her to get used to the environment.

Soon, Xiao Ya came out with two bowls of steaming noodles. One bowl had a fried egg on top, the other did not and contained very few noodles; likely the portion she prepared for herself. Ye Tianchen didn’t say anything and just smiled as he took the bowl.

Truth be told, the passing of Xiao Ya’s mother was too sudden for Ye Tianchen, something he had not expected. He had thought that with Zhang Yide’s Dragon Marrow Pill shards, Xiao Ya’s mother could live at least another two years. But he hadn’t anticipated the illness to worsen so rapidly. There were many things beyond human control, which bolstered Ye Tianchen’s determination to unravel the mystery of Eternal Life.

"Wow, this tastes good, Yaer! I didn’t know you could cook so well!" Ye Tianchen said as he heartily devoured the noodles and praised her.

"Sure, if you want, I’ll cook for you often!" Xiao Ya nodded and said.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen moved the fried egg from his bowl into Xiao Ya’s. Before she could refuse, he gently held her small hand and looked at her earnestly and tenderly, "Yaer, I know you’re deeply hurt inside, but I hope you can pick yourself up. I heard from your father that you have always been an obedient and sensible girl with excellent academic performance. Your mother often bragged about you to others. I believe if she saw you like this now, she wouldn’t just avoid praising you, she would be very sad. So all you need to do is to be the outstanding daughter that she acknowledged!"

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Xiao Ya was taken aback, looking at the man before her, she suddenly felt that he was so excellent, so kind to her. He wasn’t just any carefree man; Ye Tianchen had his unique personality traits and distinctive qualities! (To be continued.
