?Chapter 166: Chapter 156: Veteran Driver Mu Lin (Second Update)_2 Chapter 166: Chapter 156: Veteran Driver Mu Lin (Second Update)_2 From the moment he first stepped into Military Camp and fell behind during drill, to the effortless handling of the situation now, the transformations in Mu Lin were completely different from any of those around him.

Even though it’s been over a month since they began new recruit training, they have indeed gradually gotten used to the place. But they still can’t handle it as comfortably as Mu Lin.

Yes, comfortably is the word.

Mu Lin has adapted too quickly—so quickly, it’s abnormal.

Feeling the intensely hot gazes coming from around him and behind him, Mu Lin voiced his mild confusion. “What are you guys doing all of a sudden, staring at me like that? Has my head bloomed? What just happened that I don’t know of? Or have these guys finished their ‘romantic exchanges’ behind my back and need to ask me something?”

Mu Lin, as a martial arts practitioner, is well aware of everything that’s going on around him.

What’s more, these boys were making no attempt to hide their gaze. They were staring at her blatantly, and occasionally, which made her feel their brains were all waterlogged.

“Ahem…” Jing Youlan and the others subconsciously touched the tips of their noses, exchanging glances. How could such a secret discussion and observation of Mu Lin be detected by her?

Obviously, they hadn’t made a sound, right?

“How do you know?” After asking, Jing Youlan realized he had just asked a ridiculous question.

Mu Lin: “Because I have eyes in the back of my head.”

Everyone: It’s actually not funny at all.

…

With silent silence behind him, Mu Lin chuckled lightly, “Actually, me being aware is pretty normal. Ever since I was a kid, my Master used to ambush me from the shadows during training. Over time, I’ve developed the knack for observing the surrounding environment.” He prepared himself for sudden ambushes.

Eventually, she was able to detect wherever her Master was hiding. So spotting these naïve boys behind him wasn’t difficult at all. Even if they trained for several more years, they wouldn’t attain the skill level of her Master.

However, out of nowhere, an image of Jing Chen flashed through Mu Lin’s mind. She thought if it were Jing Chen, perhaps he might do it. Of course, if he had undergone training like hers from her Master, he might even be stronger. Even she might not be a match for him in terms of agility and speed.

After slightly drifting away in her thoughts for a moment, Mu Lin continued to speak: “I guess this must be the reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance ability that the instructor mentioned earlier. You guys will develop the same thing as well.” Although it still needs improvement, the first thing they have to learn is how to hide.

That’s easier said than done, though.

Xia Zeyang ran to the side of Mu Lin and paralleled him saying, “But we definitely won’t be as good as you.”. This, in fact, was well understood by each of them.

Mu Lin’s achievements are not something ordinary people can surpass. Just like Jing Chen, he is an idol they admire and aim to surpass. Unfortunately, there are perilous trials and tribulations before reaching that goal. Jing Chen’s current status is earned with real knives, real guns, and real bloodshed.

It’s unlike what some outside rumors suggest that as aristocratic children, they can easily get to certain levels by merely spending some time here.

Those rumors are total nonsense! They wonder where those people have seen them not working hard.

The most they have is a different starting point and more opportunities.

For Jing Youlan and the others, the scars on Jing Chen are his testimonies of survival.

…

Hearing Xia Zeyang’s words, Mu Lin chuckled, “In fact, there is no need for you guys to belittle yourselves. I don’t think I need to remind you about the potential in each of you.” The outstanding performances of those guys are visible to other teammates and instructors as well.

“Don’t ever compare yourself with me”, Mu Lin laughed lightly: “I am not a normal person.” Mu Lin was unabashed in belittling herself. “We grew up in different environments and had different exposures; let alone for someone like me who underwent devilish training since I could barely walk. During that time, you guys were probably still the darlings in your family’s arms.” Although he looked the same age as them, the real-world experience he has is much greater.

Mu Lin is an old hand, an old actor, an old driver.
