Li Yang was filled with both curiosity and a desire to challenge Liang Song, a veteran who had weathered the trials of life and death. Seeing that Liang Song walked with a slight limp, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This senior has an injury; I wonder how capable he really is. Should I challenge him?" After a moment of hesitation, the young man’s competitive spirit took over. He figured that since he trained hard and possessed decent combat skills, he might just be able to hold his own against the veteran.
Mustering his courage, Li Yang walked up to Liang Song. Nervous, he gave a somewhat sloppy military salute and said, "Captain Liang, I’ve heard you’re incredibly skilled. I’d like to spar with you in hand-to-hand combat, if that’s all right with you?" His eyes betrayed a flicker of nervousness, yet they were full of expectation. His cheeks were slightly flushed with excitement, and his ears had turned bright red. He nervously rubbed his hands together, waiting for Liang Song’s response.
Liang Song looked at the energetic new recruit before him, paused for a moment, and then a faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
