Running was something that everyone needed for military training. Running could train the muscles of many parts of the body, as well as make the limbs more coordinated.

Xu Taiping didn't run fast, and looking at him, it seemed he didn't plan to run fast either.

"Let's run twenty laps now. After that, we'll do some other training. Everyone, follow me!" Xu Taiping turned around and shouted to the security guards behind him.

20 laps wasn't too hard for these security guards as they were either retired soldiers or had trained in martial arts.

However, it was not easy to run eight kilometers in such a hot weather.

Under the scorching sunlight, his clothes were quickly drenched in sweat. Sticking to his body was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

He didn't know what was going on today, but there was no wind at all on the field.

Xu Taiping ran along with ease. Jiang Yuanhao followed behind him, roughly two to three meters away. Behind him, the twenty plus security guards lined up in a line that was about four to five meters long.

Anyone who knew how to run would know that one must not exert too much strength at the beginning of a long distance running. Otherwise, it would result in one becoming powerless later on.

However, even though they didn't use too much strength, they still maintained a relatively fast speed to avoid falling behind, because once they fell behind, it would be even more difficult to catch up to them. If they slowed down and finished twenty laps in thirty seconds, they would still be punished ten laps, which would be extremely difficult.

Time passed bit by bit, and many students were able to rest. However, only Xu Taiping and his team from the security department were not given the chance to rest.

In the blink of an eye, the twenty laps had already been half completed. Many people were slowly beginning to feel exhausted, while Jiang Yuanhao still maintained the distance of two to three meters between him and Xu Taiping.

After another few minutes, there were less than three laps left in the twenty laps.

At this time, Xu Taiping began to accelerate, and as he sped up, he looked back and said, "Everyone hurry up, there are only three laps left. If you can get past the important parts faster than me, then your afternoon training will be over!" Director Jiang, you have to do your best! "

Jiang Yuanhao kept his mouth shut and did not say anything. In fact, he was brewing.

He knew that Xu Taiping was strong, but it was possible that he was strong in martial arts. Running alone did not test a person's martial arts, only their endurance and explosive power. He had been gathering his energy all this time, waiting for the final round to break out.

Let's see if we can catch up to Xu Taiping.

If he could catch up to Xu Taiping, that would be a huge victory for Jiang Yuanhao.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two laps left in the three laps, and many people were feeling extremely tired. Running in this kind of weather would definitely consume several times more stamina than usual, and many people were running much slower than they would normally, while Jiang Yuanhao was still maintaining a distance of two to three meters away from Xu Taiping.

In the blink of an eye, only half of the twenty laps remained.

At this moment, Jiang Yuanhao began to exert his strength!

Jiang Yuanhao's speed had increased by at least 30% in the blink of an eye. The distance between him and Xu Taiping had shortened to less than a meter, and Xu Taiping was almost within his reach.

"Xu Taiping, your father will definitely surpass you!" Jiang Yuan Hao roared in his heart, not holding back at all as he gathered all his strength into his legs. His body kept moving forward, looking like he was about to surpass Xu Tai Ping.

Just then, Xu Taiping suddenly stopped.

In the instant that Xu Taiping stopped walking, Jiang Yuanhao dashed past him.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan Hao's mind was temporarily blank.

"Why did he stop?" Surprised and doubtful, Jiang Yuan Hao turned his head to look at Xu Taiping.

The distance between him and Xu Taiping grew wider and wider, and in the blink of an eye, he was already ten meters away.

When the guards who had lagged behind Xu Taiping saw Jiang Yuanhao overtake Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping even halted his steps, all shouting excitedly. From their point of view, Xu Taiping was probably already exhausted, so they finally stopped and gave up.

He was only a few dozen meters away from the finish line. Even if Xu Taiping started to sprint at this time, he still wouldn't be able to surpass him. After all, Xu Taiping was a human, not a car, and not an airplane!

At this moment, Jiang Yuan Hao already had the image of himself humiliating Xu Tai Ping later on in his mind. He wanted to let Xu Tai Ping know that the result of the strength evaluation did not represent everything, no matter how powerful your martial arts were, just based on pure physical strength, you were not his match!

Just when everyone thought that Jiang Yuanhao would definitely take first place, Xu Taiping suddenly accelerated.

From being still to being as fast as lightning, Xu Taiping took only two to three seconds.

One moment, Xu Taiping was still standing at his original position. The next, he was rushing towards Jiang Yuan Hao like a bolt of lightning.

The distance between Xu Taiping and Jiang Yuan Hao rapidly increased from ten meters to eight, six, four meters …

Hearing the cry of shock from behind him, Jiang Yuan Hao hurriedly turned his head. When he saw it, he was dumbfounded. He had not expected that just as he had imagined it, Xu Tai Ping had already arrived within four meters of him!

Jiang Yuan Hao quickly turned around and gritted his teeth, raising his speed to a new height. But even so, the distance between him and Xu Tai Ping still quickly shortened.

Four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter, shoulder to shoulder!

In just a few seconds, Xu Taiping had already reduced the ten meter gap between them to zero. Soon after, Jiang Yuan Hao could only hear a whoosh as Xu Taiping brushed by him and passed by him.

The next moment, Jiang Yuanhao had also crossed the finishing line. He had been slower than Xu Taiping by a second or so!

Xu Taiping suddenly stopped moving and looked at Jiang Yuan Hao with a smile, saying, "It must have been terrible to almost taste it, right? I was clearly already fighting for my life!"

"You bastard!" Jiang Yuanhao gritted his teeth and said, "So you are toying with me at this very last moment?"

"Of course." Xu Pingping smiled and said, "Victory is already right in front of you, but in the end, the victor still belongs to someone else. For you, or for the people under you, this will be very difficult, right?" "Haha …"

"Bastard!" Jiang Yuan Hao knelt down on one knee and punched the ground furiously.

Xu Taiping smiled, looked ahead, and said, "You still have ten seconds, ten, nine …"

Following Xu Taiping's countdown, those who had been standing on the track cheering for Jiang Yuanhao suddenly regained their wits. This wasn't the end of the run! If Xu Pingping reached the end in ten seconds, he would be punished to run ten laps!

Everyone ran like madmen towards the finish line, however, it was still too late. If they hadn't stopped because of Jiang Yuanhao just now, there might have been a few people who would have made it in time. However, they all stopped because they had missed the best opportunity to sprint.

When Xu Taiping's countdown ended, no one rushed past the finish line.

Xu Taiping stood at the finish line with a big smile on his face, waiting for the guards to run up to him, breathing heavily.

Not long after, all twenty security guards arrived in front of Xu Taiping.

Everyone was panting heavily. The final sprint had consumed a lot of their stamina.

"I'm sorry, but apart from Jiang Yuanhao, no one else has reached the finish line within thirty seconds of my arrival. Thus, according to the rules, all of you, with the exception of Jiang Yuanhao, will continue to run ten laps." Xu Taiping said.

They had just used up a huge amount of their physical strength to run ten laps, which would definitely have exhausted them. Some people couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuan Hao; if not for Jiang Yuan Hao being surpassed in his final sprint, they might have been able to rest now.

"It's all Director Jiang's fault!"

Such a thought suddenly appeared in the hearts of many people.

People were always like this. When they suffered setbacks, they would always switch their focus to others. In fact, Jiang Yuan Hao did not have any faults, but for these people who were on the verge of collapse due to exhaustion, it was the biggest fault for Jiang Yuan Hao to be overridden by Xu Tai Ping at the very last moment. Moreover, Jiang Yuan Hao did not need to run ten laps with them.

"Hurry up and run." Xu Taiping clapped his hands.

The crowd could only helplessly continue running.

"You should rest here for a while, I'll go out first!" Xu Taiping turned and walked out of the sports field.

Not long after, Xu Taiping came back with two bottles of frozen pulse in his hands.

Xu Taiping threw one of the bottles to Jiang Yuan Hao and said, "Come, I'll treat you."

"No need." As Jiang Yuan Hao spoke, he placed the pulse to the side.

"Don't be like this, this thing can even replenish your strength, and it can also relieve the heat and quench your thirst!" Xu Taiping laughed.

"My men are running. Do you think it's appropriate for me to rest here and drink the pulse? I know you want to break off my relationship with my subordinates, but I can tell you responsibly that your tricks are useless. I've paid for all my men, and I don't treat them as my own people at all, so you don't need to separate from us. If they have any feelings for me, I'll immediately fire them and send a new batch of people over. " Jiang Yuan Hao said.

"Then why don't you drink my water? Anyway, you're not afraid that they might have feelings for you, right? " Xu Taiping laughed.

"I don't drink your water." Jiang Yuan Hao laughed coldly and said, "You can scold us. If I beg for mercy, I'll change my surname to yours."

"Hahaha, that's quite tough. The rest of the time is pretty long. Let's wait and see." Xu Taiping laughed.

"Hehe, I would like to see if you dare to abuse us openly. I want to see whether your Xu Taiping's reputation at Jiangyuan University is more important, or if he's going to oppress us. " Jiang Yuan Hao said.

"I don't have any reputation." Xu Taiping took a sip of the soup and said faintly, "I won't mistreat you either. If you really take this job as the head of the security department and consider it for your students, I'll even support you in taking this job as the head of the security department. However, it's very funny, your motive for coming to Jiangyuan University is not pure.

Hearing Xu Taiping's words, Jiang Yuan Hao's pupils contracted slightly.
