Chapter 156: The Second Third-Class rit
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At this mont, Wang Ye’s eyes brightened.
To be honest, Wang Ye had never considered this possibility before.
The main reason was that Wang Ye couldn’t discuss this with Wu Jianfeng.
He hadn’t even started shooting, nor had he fired a gun. He rely aid and practiced every day.
How could he be certain that he could retrieve all the rings?
He couldn’t reveal the existence of the system to Wu Jianfeng.
Hence, he had to devise his own strategy.
However, now that Wu Jianfeng had laid out his plans so clearly, Wang Ye realized that it might disrupt his own strategy.
He didn’t want things to take an unexpected turn now.
Wu Jianfeng truly lived up to his reputation as a company commander. He had a solution.
Observing Wu Jianfeng, Wang Ye secretly gave him a thumbs-up in admiration.
“Alright, wipe that gloomy look off your face.
We’ll discuss the shooting practice later. When the regint commander arrives, don’t make any mistakes.
Now, start your recovery routine promptly.”
“Alright!”
Wang Ye concurred with a smile.
Wu Jianfeng gazed at Wang Ye, who was beginning to limber up, and continued, “Let tell you, don’t let down later, and don’t hold back any longer.
This ti, you need to run as fast and as far as you can, ideally completing the run in under one minute and thirty seconds.
Even if you run until you collapse, I’ll carry you back.
But if you don’t perform well and fail to attain even a third-class rit, you’ll crawl back.
Hang on. If that happens, I’ll sit on your back. You crawl, and I’ll be your passenger!”
“Yes, I guarantee I’ll fulfill the mission!” Wang Ye stood up and saluted.
One minute and thirty seconds. Wang Ye was actually rather confident.
Just earlier, he hadn’t held back, but he hadn’t gone all out either.
After nurous practice runs, even without a stopwatch to monitor his ti, he had a rough sense of it.
Under these conditions, he simply had to give it his all.
However, if he discarded all other thoughts and ran for his life, Wang Ye estimated he could complete the run in one minute and thirty seconds, or perhaps even break the team’s historical record.
After all, his stamina was no longer ordinary.
His physical strength was 1.8 tis that of an average person. Most scouts didn’t possess such an advantage, and those who did were blessed with robust physiques.
Yet, if his physique was excessively robust, it would inevitably impact his other attributes.
For instance, flexibility, reaction speed, and so forth.
Striking a balance among these traits was quite challenging for a regular individual.
Nevertheless, with the system augnting every aspect, Wang Ye had no weak points.
“Regint Commander is here!”
Not long after, three individuals approached from the direction of the regint headquarters building.
Two were in the lead, while one trailed behind them. Wang Ye glanced at the one in the rear and surmised that it must be a ssenger or sothing of the sort.
He didn’t pay excessive attention to them, focusing instead on the two leading figures.
Wang Ye recognized one of them, the chief of staff. However, the other individual was unfamiliar to him.
“Let’s proceed.”
Wu Jianfeng greeted Wang Ye in hushed tones.
Subsequently, he guided Wang Ye forward to et the newcors.
“Greetings, Regint Commander! Greetings, Chief of Staff!”
Wu Jianfeng spoke, and although Wang Ye didn’t need to utter anything, he followed suit with a salute.
“Very well!” The regint commander let out a chuckle and motioned for them to lower their hands. His gaze then landed on Wang Ye.
“Comrade Wang Ye!”
“Yes, Regint Commander!”
“I heard from your captain that you completed the run in 1 minute and 31 seconds?”
“Yes, sir! Regint Commander.”
Wang Ye responded in a robotic manner, addressing each query with precision.
“Yes, an impressive performance indeed. For a new recruit to achieve such a result, I must say, in my years of service, you stand out as one of the most remarkable recruits I’ve encountered.”
How about this: could you run once more? I’ll personally witness it!”
“Yes, Regint Commander!”
Wang Ye echoed his response.
“Very well, go ahead. I’ll personally keep track of the ti.”
With those words, the regint commander turned around.
A soldier behind him promptly produced a stopwatch.
“Yes, Regint Commander.”
Then, he glanced at Wu Jianfeng, who nodded in approval. Wang Ye then jogged over to the nearest track, a 400-ter training ground on the left.
Truthfully, during standard military assessnts, the 400-ter obstacle course would comnce from a prone position. Ye Sanshi had inford Wang Ye of this.
However, being a new recruit, Wang Ye’s starting position hadn’t been stressed by the regint commander and the others. So, he discreetly chose to ignore the rule and comnced the race from a standing stance.
At present, seeing Wang Ye’s stance, the regint commander didn’t comnt.
After all, they were recruits from a new recruit company, and there was a degree of leniency when it ca to the starting position.
“Prepare!”
The regint commander positioned himself at the side, while Wu Jianfeng and the chief of staff stood a few ters behind him.
“Go!”
As the regint commander pressed the stopwatch, Wang Ye explosively dashed forward.
His initial speed was quite impressive. Even Wu Jianfeng couldn’t help but feel a tinge of concern witnessing this rapid start.
This young recruit, let’s hope he doesn’t overexert himself simply because the Regint Commander is observing.
Fortunately, Wang Ye’s forte lay in the initial acceleration. After covering a dozen ters, he adeptly adjusted his pace and breathing rhythm.
In his case, the explosive start was just that—an initial burst—and his stamina was more than capable of sustaining it.
Before long, the first hundred ters were behind him.
The regint commander scrutinized the stopwatch in his grip.
anwhile, Wu Jianfeng observed from behind. It wasn’t that he doubted the regint commander’s accuracy, but rather he desired to ascertain the outco as promptly as possible.
Turning the flag, executing the Five Step Stance…
Wang Ye navigated the obstacles with swift fluidity. He employed the most efficient techniques recognized by the military to maneuver through them.
Of course, this approach bore its own risks.
Perfection was an elusive goal. Pursuing speed could exact a significant toll on one’s physical energy. A misstep could lead to a miserable fall or even hospitalization.
However, such a scenario wasn’t in the cards for Wang Ye.
Bolstered by his remarkable reflexes and complented by his relatively lithe physique, along with the steadiness of his limbs and enhanced flexibility and explosive power gained from his extensive training, Wang Ye was almost impervious to error when he focused completely.
He sailed through the obstacle course with ease.
Although his return speed was marginally slower, he maintained his rhythm with precision. He recalibrated his pace in harmony with his diminishing physical reserves.
As the last hundred ters drew near, Wang Ye emitted an “ah” sound. His countenance flushed, and his strides surged.
In truth, Wang Ye’s legs were verging on the edge of control. He was capable of maintaining a steady pace, yet his impulse to accelerate had taken hold. It was a drive fueled purely by determination.
“Faster… Faster… Pick up the pace!” At the finish line, the regint commander remained glued to his stopwatch, bellowing encouragent at Wang Ye.
The regint commander’s customary deanor had vanished, replaced by the fervor of an animated referee on a stadium track.
“Excellent!”
Finally, as Wang Ye arrived at the regint commander’s side, he ceased the stopwatch and erupted into hearty laughter.
“Haha!” Indeed, he wasn’t the sole one laughing; Wu Jianfeng joined in the celebration.
In that instant, he pocketed the stopwatch and hastened to Wang Ye’s side, where the recruit had knelt down after completing the run.
“Company Commander!”
Despite his heaving breaths, Wang Ye turned his gaze toward Wu Jianfeng as the latter approached.
At this juncture, Wang Ye experienced a tinge of nervousness.
Confidence aside, this context diverged from standard training.
Now, he had just completed the run for a third-class rit.
“1 minute 29 seconds 42 milliseconds. You’ve succeeded. You were a re 0.10 seconds away from breaking the team record!”
Wu Jianfeng’s grin stretched ear to ear. He crouched beside Wang Ye, extending a helping hand to assist him to his feet while sharing the outco.
“Haha, I managed 1 minute 29.39 seconds—close, but not quite. That’s the outco, Wang Ye, you’ve outdone yourself!”
The Regint Commander’s laughter resonated as he strolled over.
In that instant, Wu Jianfeng lent a hand to Wang Ye, aiding him to stand upright.
Wang Ye’s face was suffused with a deep crimson hue, sweat beading his forehead.
Yet now, Wang Ye too, was beaming with unbridled elation.
The second third-class rit was now within his grasp..
