Chapter 280: The District Leader’s Insolence

“All -”

Some of the people on the track were not just flushing, but their eyes were also crimson.

They were about to go crazy when they saw the figure chasing after them.

It was not the first lap. If he was overtaken again, he could be ahead for two laps.

Who could take this?

The army was a place where all kinds of competitive atmosphere was particularly intense.

Although it was uncomfortable to be surrounded by him, they also thought that he was a beast.

One of them was able to report to the teacher and was now the only private in the teaching team. It was fine as long as he was a little special.

But this was the second lap!

How could he endure it?

Therefore, all of them held back their strength and began to speed up. No one was in the mood to scold Wang Ye or say anything about him.

Because at this point, everyone had already abandoned the idea that Wang Ye wouldn’t be able to finish running like this.

This was a beast. It was really unknown where so much physical strength was hidden in that not-so-sturdy body.

It was almost 12 laps, and he would finish in less than one lap.

However, looking at his current speed, there was no sign of him slowing down.

In fact, not only did Wang Ye’s footsteps not slow down, but he was also slowly increasing his speed.

Because he realized that he seemed to be a little conservative.

He had gotten used to running eight kilometers with weights during his runs back in the Iron Bones Hero Regiment. Today, he came back to run five kilometers. Although his pace had increased, Wang Ye’s physical strength had actually increased during this period of time compared to when he was in the next consecutive run.

Therefore, Wang Ye realized that he was still a little conservative. His stamina was enough to make him run faster.

“All-”

The screams from the side made Wang Ye unable to help but glance at him.

Looking at the way the other party was looking at him with red eyes, Wang Ye took a deep breath and gave him a thumbs-up with a smile on his face.

He didn’t say anything, but the meaning of this gesture was obvious.

This made the eyes of the soldiers of the second platoon, who had just been overtaken by Wang Ye for the second round, widen even more.

However, Wang Ye ignored him.

He turned around and continued running.

In the last half of the lap, it was impossible to beat everyone twice.

Some of them were not slow, and some of them had never been lapped by Wang Ye.

However, he couldn’t lap everyone twice. He still had some ideas about trapping the ten or twenty people who were running slowly in front of him.

With this thought in mind, Wang Ye quickened his pace again.

Xiao Lian, who was waiting at the finish line, was stunned.

It had already been twelve laps. How could he continue to speed up at the end of the five-kilometer journey?

Suddenly, the instructor at the side interrupted him from looking at Wang Ye, “Look at those from the Iron Blood Hero Regiment. Their speed hasn’t slowed down at all. They’re catching up from behind and are constantly surpassing the others.”

“It seemed that the amount of physical training for their regiment should be quite a lot!”

Xiao Lian followed his words and looked up.

Indeed, the speed and momentum of the other members of the regiment were not bad.

However, he was not surprised by this.

Looking at Wan Yi, he said, “It’s normal that you don’t know much about the other regiment since it’s your first year here.”

“The fourth company belonged to the Razor Sharp Company of the Iron Bones

Hero Regiment. It was not surprising that they had good stamina.”

Wan Yi smiled and nodded, “That’s true. Those with this kind of title are not normal people. They are all physical maniacs.”

After saying that, he looked at Wang Ye, “Wang Ye is about to finish running. Let’s get ready.”

“Yes!”

Xiao Lian took a few steps to the finish line and raised the timer in his hand.

Even though they were all in the same squadron today, they still had to keep track of time.

However, the timing would not be very accurate.

In other words, other than the first few, if the later few arrived at the same time, it was normal for them to have a difference of one or two seconds.

However, this was not a big problem. It was just a probe.

It was fine as long as no one failed.

“Quick, quick, quick! Run faster!”

At the finish line, Ji Qing Lin suddenly shouted at Wang Ye, who was less than a hundred meters away.

Beside him, the other two district leaders were expressionless. They stood there as if they did not hear him.

However, it was impossible for them not to hear it as they were not deaf.

They just didn’t want to give this person a chance to show off.

What’s so great about it? He was not the one that trained him, he just happened to be lucky enough Wang Ye was now part of his platoon.

The two of them felt a little sour in their hearts.

Finally, Wang Ye was getting closer and closer.

“16 minutes and 38 seconds!” When Wang Ye ran past, Xiao Lian pulled a long face and announced the result with a serious expression.

He didn’t smile because of Wang Ye’s results. He didn’t even look at Wang Ye. His eyes were only focused on the track.

However, he could pretend, but Ji Qing Lin couldn’t.

He ran over with a smile and supported Wang Ye, who had just finished running. Then, he said with a smile, “Nicely done. Take a break and work hard again next time.”

Wang Ye was covered in sweat, but he was also smiling.

While panting heavily, Wang Ye turned his head to look at Ji Qing Lin, who was smiling as if he was a different person from before.

At this moment, a sentence suddenly appeared in Wang Ye’s mind.

“I still like your unruly look yesterday. Can you go back to normal?”

Of course, Wang Ye definitely wouldn’t say it.

“Seventeen minutes and eighteen seconds!”

Finally, half a minute after Wang Ye finished running, the second place came.

Moreover, the third place had arrived at about the same time as him.

After that, seven more returned within a minute.

In other words, including Wang Ye, all the top ten students of this batch of teaching team were within 18 minutes.

At this moment, even if Ji Qing Lin wanted to pretend to be serious in front of others, he still couldn’t put on an act.

Among the top ten, the first platoon actually took up six spots. Among them, the Iron Blood regiment members and Wang Ye took up four spots.

The Iron Blood Hero Regiment Fourth Company was the result of high-intensity physical training. Now, after coming to the teaching team to compare, the gap between them and the other companies was still reflected.

Of course, the Iron Blood Hero Regiment Four Company did have some that did not achieve top places.

Some people had indeed trained their endurance, but endurance did not represent speed.

The rhythm of their running was just decent.

If they could run at this speed for eight kilometers, they could only run at this pace for five kilometers.

Once they sped up, they would lose their rhythm, and then it would be difficult for them to run later on, and their results would even be worse.

“Eighteen minutes and three… Eighteen…”

Xiao Lian stood at the finish line, looking at the time and reporting the results one by one. The instructor was holding a folder and a pen, and taking notes.

There was no need to report their names. As an instructor, he had already recorded everyone’s names and some simple information before they came.

One after another, more than a hundred people, none of them failed.

The faster ones, such as Wang Ye, finished in 16 minutes and 30 seconds.

The last one was almost twenty-two minutes.

Of course, this didn’t mean that this soldier was useless.

This was mainly related to the situation of each company. Some companies usually do not run this much.

For example, the border defense company would not run five kilometers. Some of them were at the border outposts and did not have any training grounds. Their daily mission was to cross mountains and patrol. How could they train like this?

Therefore, it was understandable that his running results were a little bad.

“Beep, beep, beep-”

When everyone had finished running, Xiao Lian only allowed the last one to rest for about half a minute before he whistled again.

He didn’t say anything and immediately led everyone to another location.

There was only one afternoon to figure out all the recruits and their stamina. Although there were not many events today, unlike the recruit assessment, time was still very tight.

Standing long jump, horizontal bar pull-ups, 100-meter sprint, grenade throwing.

The five foundational tests were one after another.

Naturally, Wang Ye’s performance was particularly eye-catching in every aspect.

Wang Ye jumped a full 2.93 meters in the standing long jump.

Wang Ye did more horizontal bar pull-ups than during the recruit assessment.

This time, he did 47 of them in one go.

It was mainly because he had been digging holes frequently during this period of time that his arm strength had increased.

As for the grenade throw, it was known that Wang Ye could only throw 60 meters before. This time, the increase in his arm strength also led to an increase in his score. He threw 68 meters in one go.

Although the teaching team consisted of the elites of three regiments, they were only first-class soldiers and soldiers who had just become sergeants.

Some of them were really good. Three of them threw grenades more than 60 meters away, and there was also a thin soldier from Platoon 3 who pulled 41 in the pull-up.

However, he could not continue beyond that.

The first place in all five categories was taken by Wang Ye.

This made Ji Qing Lin, who had been trying his best to maintain a serious face in front of the soldiers below, unable to help but break into a smile every time he was with the other two platoon captains.

Of course, this smile only appeared when he was with the other two platoon captains.

The assessment ended.

When he faced the members of the first platoon, his expression was still very serious.

“How embarrassing!”

He led the first platoon to the side and looked at the crowd. His first sentence with a long face was not a praise.

Even with a discerning eye, one could tell that the first Platoon team had been in the limelight in today’s assessment.

Not only had Wang Ye taken first place in the five events, but the others had also performed well. Their overall results were definitely the best among the three platoons.

But now, he still said things like that.

This was because although the first platoon’s overall performance today was good, it didn’t mean that there was no one to pull them down.

After the pull-ups, there were twelve pass-lines.

This was also the event that had the most people failing today.

There were also two people from Platoon One who failed in this event.

One of them only did eight pull-ups, and the other couldn’t go up when he pulled the tenth.

The two of them were judged to be unqualified.

In addition, there was another person from Platoon One who managed to run 15 seconds in the loom sprint and was also disqualified.

However, this soldier’s 5km performance was very good. He was one of the six in the top ten of the first platoon.

Wang Ye estimated that he probably wouldn’t be sent back.

As for the other two, it was hard to say.

Their performance in other projects was not very outstanding.

Although it was only pull-ups, it was still a failure.

“I won’t say much. The teaching team should be a place where elites without obvious shortcomings exist. The three of you have shortcomings.”

Ji Qing Lin paused for a moment, not caring about the three soldiers who were worried.

This time, he finally looked at Wang Ye.

“In this investigation, the vice leader of platoon three, Wang Ye, performed very well. Everyone, give him a round of applause.”

When Ji Qing Lin said this, he still maintained a serious expression, as if he wasn’t the one grinning every time Wang Ye took first place….
