“Haha, well done!”

On the arena, Wu Jian Feng’s voice was so loud that even the Cannon Company Commander could not help but turn his head and glance at him.

Of course, he quickly turned his head back.

In the next moment, he followed suit the commander of the heavy machine gun company and turned to leave.

He couldn’t stay in this place anymore. It was so uncomfortable to watch someone’s success and him acting arrogant. It felt like an attack towards him.

“Hey, old cannon, where are you going?”

Wu Jian Feng saw that the commander of the Cannon company was about to leave. He turned his head and spoke with a surprised expression.

However, although he looked surprised, the smile on his face did not disappear.

“You’re the old cannon!” The Cannon Company commander snapped back.

Then, as he continued walking forward, he turned his head and said with a long face, “I’m going to pee. Do you want to come with me?”

“Alright!”

“…” The cannon company commander stopped and turned his head back again.

At this moment, there seemed to be a big word written on his face.

The word ‘speechless’.

Looking at Wu Jian Feng, he was silent for a few seconds before he said in a muffled voice, “Get lost!”

“Haha!” Wu Jian Feng laughed.

“Remember the two packets of cigarettes you owe me!”

“I’ll give it to you when we get back!” Gritting his teeth, the cannon company commander spat out.

At this moment, the commander of the Cannon Company cursed himself in his heart. He shouldn’t have taken any chances just now.

When the commander of the heavy machine gun company left just now, he should have followed. Why did he stay here?

At the same time, the six soldiers of the Cannon Company who had finished the obstacles looked at the back of their company commander with ugly expressions.

They had embarrassed the company commander!

Not to mention what would happen when they returned, at least they felt that they could not raise their heads now.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t leave with him now.

The company commander and the others could leave because they were not participants in the competition. However, even if the competition was over, they had to wait here.

After all thirty of them had finished, there was still the next round waiting.

“Haha, Old Wang, as expected of you!”

“Cannon Company, your company commander ran away!”

On the side of the Fourth Company, when Wang Ye walked back, the few people there, especially the few who had already finished the segment, had completely let themselves go.

When someone shouted, they even winked at the six people from Cannon Company.

“Humph!”

On the side of the Sixth Company, someone turned his head over with a dark expression. He snorted and then turned his head away from the Fourth Company.

There were also people who were really angry. They looked at the Fourth Company and said in a muffled voice, “We’re competing in a team competition, not this. What are you all so proud of?”

Now, those who had finished the segment could find a place to stand when they came back, while those who had not finished had to wait in line.

The soldiers who were done stood separately according to their company, the fourth company on one side while the sixth company on the other.

“Hehe, the team competition hasn’t started yet, right? Don’t worry, we’ll beat you guys in the team competition.” Du Yi Tong said while laughing.

Of course, it’s the same now. We guarantee that we’ll beat you in every event. You have to be mentally prepared!”

Bah, shameless boasting!

They could lose as individuals but there was no way they were willing to lose as a company. This was just the beginning. Now, the soldiers from the sixth company naturally wouldn’t admit defeat easily.

Even though they had a bad feeling about it, they had to keep their mouths shut.

“Alright, don’t be so loud!” At this moment, the third-grade officer who had already noted Wang Ye’s results raised his head and shouted at the rest.

Although he was happy to see this kind of competition, he still had his work to do.

He couldn’t just sit there and watch. After all, time was limited.

In addition to this event this morning, there was still another martial arts competition to be held.

The third-grade officer’s words temporarily silenced the Fourth Company and the Cannon Company.

Then, the remaining people of the fourth company continued to start.

The results were all very good. One after another, all nine of them had finished competing. This also made the remaining soldiers of the Fifth Company who had not yet entered the field feel a huge pressure.

“All four of them are freakish. There are nine of them, but none of them took more than sixteen seconds.” Some of the people from the Fifth Company couldn’t help but whisper.

One of them took around thirteen seconds, two took around fourteen seconds, and the rest took around fifteen seconds.

Iron Blood Hero Fourth Company, as expected of their own group’s Madman Company…

Yes, the Fourth Company of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment had a new title compared to the other ordinary infantry companies in the regiment.

Its a mad company.

After all, a company that could do eight-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country and four-hundred-meter obstacle crossing for a living were all lunatics.

In any case, the thought of this made them feel like their legs were about to start trembling.

Their trainings were too ruthless.

Soon, the soldiers from the fifth company also completed the segment.

The results were not unexpected. Among the few of them, one of them had around than fifteen seconds, and the rest had around sixteen seconds.

There were no seventeen-second or fourteen-second ones.

After everyone gathered and regrouped, the third-grade officers began to report their results.

The main thing was for everyone to check if they remembered the results correctly.

There was no doubt that in this segment, a thirteen-second record would pop out of a pile of fifteen-and sixteen-second records. Even if everyone knew about it, they still felt that the number was very ear-piercing.

Especially the soldiers from the cannon company and heavy machine guns company. Some of them couldn’t help but clench their fists and grit their teeth when they heard this result.

Insane.

“There are no mistakes in the results, right?” In front of everyone, the third-year class monitor reported the results and asked everyone.

“No!

Wang Ye and the others replied in unison.

“Alright, everyone has…”

The results were correct. The third-term class monitor directly asked everyone to carry their backpacks and then led everyone to the transfer.

It had been more than half an hour since the start of the competition.

At the same time that Wang Ye’s segment ended, the first round of assessments in the other venues had also ended.

“What’s the next segment?”

“I don’t know! Is it 400 meters? 1 think we’re going that way!”

The four four-hundred-meter-long running tracks had almost the same layout.

There were arenas for the single and parallel bars, as well as arenas for the four-hundred-meter obstacle course and individual combat techniques.

At this moment, Wang Ye and the others were being led to one side.

In fact, on the field, Wang Ye and the others could also see the other teams making their transition.

Soon, Wang Ye and the others knew what their next project was.

It was not the 400-meter obstacle.

Instead, he directly brought it onto the track.

“Next up, your competition will be a five-kilometer armed cross-country.”

Standing in front of everyone, the third-grade officer turned his head and pointed at a place outside the track, “You can all use the toilet over there now. You will start preparing for the competition in fifteen minutes.”

It was indeed easy for people to get nervous in a big environment like a martial arts competition. It was a very normal physiological reaction to feel like peeing when they were nervous.

After they were dismissed, Wang Ye went to the toilet with everyone.

“Come over here!”

As soon as they came out of the makeshift toilet, Wang Ye and the others saw Wu Jian Feng waiting outside.

“Company commander!”

Wang Ye and the others walked over and greeted him.

“Yes!” Wu Jian Feng smiled and nodded.

At this moment, he glanced at the few soldiers of the Cannon Company who were passing by.

Then, he didn’t wait for anything. He looked at Wang Ye and the others in front of him and said, “Don’t be nervous for the next five kilometers, and don’t mess up the pace, okay?”

“Follow your usual training rhythm. If anyone provokes you, don’t bother about them. In the end, just use your results to slap their faces!”

Wang Ye and the others replied loudly, “Yes” to Wu Jian Feng’s words. Some of the people from the Sixth Company who had not gone far could not help but turn their heads.

“Humph!” Some of them could not help but snort.

Wasn’t Wu Jian Feng clearly saying it out loud for them to hear?

He was worried that when they ran later, someone would deliberately provoke the Fourth Company and then let the soldiers of the Fourth Company race with him. The front would increase the stamina consumption and make it impossible for them to run.

This kind of thing was very common when two companies bumped into each other during daily training.

They didn’t even need to be provoked. When they saw it, they would shout and rush up to compete.

After all, this was the atmosphere in the army. They couldn’t let others down during their daily training.

However, this was a martial arts competition.

“The heart of a villain measures the belly of a gentleman.” Someone in the sixth company cursed in a low voice.

Alright, this person was actually a little lacking in confidence when he cursed.

Because he really did have this idea.

Everyone knew that Wang Ye’s physical fitness was abnormal. If this guy could run like that in the 400-meter obstacle course, he definitely wouldn’t be bad at running five kilometers either.

Even though they were all in the same group, it wasn’t appropriate to do so.

However, the bet had already been established, yet they were still so arrogant. From the perspective of the Battalion, no one would mind if they could make him suffer a little.

Of course, this was just a thought. They hadn’t decided if they really wanted to do this.

However, he didn’t want to think about it now. Before he could think about it, Wu Jian Feng exposed this matter in front of them.

Behind him, Wu Jian Feng’s voice continued, “Especially you, Wang Ye. If anyone talks to you, just ignore them. Just run at your own pace and show them who is the winner at the finishing line!”

“Yes!” Wang Ye smiled.

After saying that, Wang Ye added with a smile, “Captain, don’t worry. I’m not a fool. I won’t be provoked by them!”

This was a martial arts competition, so how could Wang Ye not know what was important?

“Yes, I’m just afraid that your blood will get to your head.” Wu Jian Feng nodded. Then, he looked left and right. After seeing that the soldiers from the cannon company had walked far away and that there was no one else within ten meters…

He lowered his voice and looked at Wang Ye, “Run properly, okay? I’m ready to welcome your glorious moment!”

“Yes, sir! I promise I won’t disappoint the company commander!” Wang Ye replied with a smile.

Wang Ye had maxed out his five-kilometer cross-country skill, and his physical strength was 2.1 times that of an ordinary person.

The result of this data was that when Wang Ye was training, he wanted to test his limits once. And without holding back on his strength, his results managed to stunned Wu Jian Feng and the others.

Of course, Wu Jian Feng did not say anything before, and the four competitors were also banned from saying anything to the others.

He had been waiting for Wang Ye to give everyone a surprise during the competition today.

Soon, Wang Ye and the others separated from Wu Jian Feng.

After returning to the track, he first checked the backpacks and checked everyone’s water bottles.

They had to refill the water they had just drunk.

The standard weight for a five kilometer weapon was slightly more than 23 kilograms.

They checked everything and made preparations.

The third-grade officer began to explain the rules.

It was similar to the crawling segment previously. The most important thing was that equipment and items could not be dropped.

However, for this segment, if one of their equipment were to drop, time would not be added. Instead, one would have to go back and pick it up themselves.

Another point was that the five kilometers of cross-country was a group of ten people. The next batch would start one minute later. The thirty people would all be on the same track, but they would be staggered.

This was because the width of the track was only so small. If there were too many people, someone would definitely have to start behind the others.

Under such circumstances, it was normal for the people running behind to be blocked by the people running in front.

Therefore, for the sake of fairness, they were staggered in this way.

“211, 212…A11 the way to number 220!” The third-grade officer began to shout.

The first batch of runners were six soldiers from the cannon company and four from the heavy machine gun company.

“Ready!”

“Bang!”

As they were the first batch to start running, the third-grade officer shouted again,”221, 222…”

There were also ten people, and this time, Wang Ye happened to be among them.

“Good luck!”

“Old Wang, show them your strength!”

Wang Ye stepped out, and behind him, there were still soldiers from the fourth company waiting for the next batch. They couldn’t help but cheer for Wang Ye.

Wang Ye turned around and didn’t say anything, but he gave them a smile and nodded.

When they arrived at the division’s arena, he had never once thought of holding back his ability.
