Translator: Li_Voon_Loke

“Oh my God, is this guy crazy? He has just eaten, and he is already practicing cross-country running. Does he want to die?” At this moment, Zhang Cheng was stunned.

He knew that Qian Jiang was determined today, but he didn’t expect him to work so hard, as if he had been injected with stimulants.

However, he had to tell him that if he continued like this, his body might collapse, let alone finishing his physical training.

Therefore, the four of them rushed over and stopped him.

“Why are you all here?” Qian Jiang asked in surprise when he saw the four of them running toward him.

Zhao Rui said worriedly and angrily, “You just had lunch. Do you want to die? You ran so much in the morning. You’ll get hurt if you overwork yourself!”

Qian Jiang rubbed his head awkwardly and said, “Sorry, Class Monitor. I was a little anxious. I didn’t have lunch today. I rested for a while and then started to train again.”

Qian Jiang looked at the anxious faces of the others and quickly said, “I’m sorry, everyone. I might have made you worry. I just want to seize the time to train my physical strength.”

“Old Qian, how can you not eat? Even if you have found a way to break through, you have to learn to take it step by step. It’s impossible to become fit suddenly,” Zhang Cheng reminded Qian Jiang anxiously.

Although they kept persuading him, Qian Jiang didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.

“Team Leader Zhao, I really don’t want to give up now. I’m almost done,” Qian Jiang looked at Zhao Rui and said firmly.

Zhao Rui was shocked. He looked at the sweat on Qian Jiang’s forehead and asked, “Qian Jiang, how many kilometers have you run?”

“Four kilometers!” Qian Jiang answered.

“What?”

“You’ve run four kilometers? You’ve been running like this?”

The four of them looked at each other and were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

Qian Jiang was indeed a hidden talent. Although he didn’t have a good foundation in the past, once he found the trick, he would be able to unleash his huge potential.

“Okay!” Zhao Rui unexpectedly agreed. He stood at the side and started to cheer Qian Jiang on.

When the other three saw this scene, they were also deeply impressed by Qian Jiang’s perseverance.

No one there could be compared to Qiang Jiang in terms of willpower today.

“Go! Go!” Everyone kept cheering for him and kept encouraging him from the side.

Hearing his roommates’ encouragement, Qian Jiang felt touched and motivated.

In the last kilometer, Qian Jiang didn’t slow down. Instead, he started sprinting faster and faster.

Qian Jiang had difficulty breathing for the rest of the distance, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

There were also a few people on the field. Due to various reasons, everyone was attracted to this scene. They gave Qian Jiang a round of applause. Perhaps they were also touched by Qian Jiang’s hard work and perseverance.

Under everyone’s enthusiastic applause, Qian Jiang finally completed the five-kilometer cross-country run successfully.

At this time, Qian Jiang was so tired that he almost fell to the ground, but he was pulled up by Zhao Rui.

“Remember, don’t sit or lie down immediately after running. Walk first and slow down gradually!”

Qian Jiang panted and said to Zhao Rui, “Class Monitor Zhao, this is my first time running a five-kilometer cross-country run.”

Zhao Rui said happily, “Yes, Qian Jiang. I told you. You will definitely make it if you persevere. I have high hopes for you. This is also why I won’t let you leave.”

“Today, everyone has seen your progress. You are no longer the last.” Chi Heng and the others echoed.

Qian Jiang returned to the dormitory with the help of the others.

Zhao Rui emphasized, “The incident with Qian Jiang today has indeed touched and shocked me. But everyone, remember, you must not run like this again! Once your body is injured, you may not be able to recover for the rest of your life!”

The few of them nodded in agreement.

It was afternoon break, and soon, the snoring in the dormitory was like thunder.

This afternoon’s lesson was in class. Usually, they would have political education to learn the rules and regulations. These were the basic knowledge that Military Academy’s freshmen had to master.

“Everyone, get up. There’s a class in the afternoon,” Zhao Rui called out when he saw that everyone was still asleep.

The others began to wake up one after another. After tidying up their internal affairs, they walked in the direction of the classroom.

Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed about the new developments in helping Qian Jiang woo the female soldier.

What everyone didn’t expect was that the instructor who would be teaching them today was actually Instructor He Yingbo.

Zhao Rui and the others found five seats where they could sit together.

Bai Xiaofei chuckled and said, “It seems that our Instructor He is really skilled in both civil and martial arts.”

Chi Heng also teased, “It’s just that we only see one instructor every day… can’t we get another teacher to teach us?”

“Shh…” Zhao Rui reminded, “If Instructor He hears this, be careful that you’d have to do another 100 push-ups.”

Once he said this, they didn’t dare to say anything else.

Not long after, the bell rang, and the classroom was unusually quiet.

“Stand up! Hello, Instructor…” Zhao Rui took the lead and shouted.

Instructor He nodded and gestured, “Everyone, sit down. Today’s lesson is very simple. There isn’t any complicated knowledge. It’s just a piece of paper with your learning content written on it. There are a total of ten items.”

“And your task today is to memorize him. What do you think? It’s not difficult, right?” The instructor continued.

When everyone heard that it was just a piece of paper, it shouldn’t be difficult at all. All of them looked very relaxed.

Not only were there students from the sixth team in this class, there were also those from other teams who joined the class.

“I’ll give you ten minutes first. It’s best if you can memorize all these contents for me within these ten minutes. Later, I’ll pick a few people to test your knowledge.”

As soon as Instructor He finished speaking, the students revealed an awkward and surprised expression.

Because of the strict discipline, they didn’t dare to speak. However, at this moment, their hearts were in turmoil.

Even Zhao Rui was a little surprised. Although the content was indeed not long, ten minutes was really too short!

Instructor He saw the helpless expressions on the students’ faces.

Thus, he explained, “The content might seem little, but there are still a lot of things that you need to memorize in the future.”

“If you have half a day to memorize these ten pieces of information, it will be difficult for you to memorize a lot of information in the future.”

“So from now on, you have to train your memory!”
