Records in Successive Times

“Once more!”

“Come on, just one more!”

The training ground for fitness was notably more animated than during other evaluations.

On the sports field, certain groups undertook a three-kilometer run.

There were also groups performing push-ups and sit-ups.

Simultaneously, other groups were engaged in pull-ups and double-bar arm flexes.

Following the two afternoon sessions, the five evaluations were conducted in successive batches.

This segment of the recruit company’s graduation assessment was likely the most demanding.

Because it required a seamless transition.

It constituted a substantial test of the physical prowess of each recruit.

At this juncture, Wang Ye and his peers from Class 5 were the first to step onto the track.

The initial of the five physical evaluations was a three-kilometer run.

“Wang Ye, the best time in our regiment’s recruit company for the three-kilometer run is nine minutes and fifty-six seconds. I have confidence in you!”

Class 5 marched in formation. Ye Sanshi walked alongside Wang Ye, suddenly turning his head and whispering to him.

Wang Ye promptly turned his head.

He remained silent.

“If you break that record, I have a remarkable surprise in store for you today!” Ye Sanshi added.

“Hmm?”

Wang Ye was momentarily perplexed, then a joyful expression swept across his face, “Class monitor, are you suggesting that shattering this record will earn me a third-class merit?”

Wang Ye couldn’t fathom any other surprise that would elicit such enthusiasm from Ye Sanshi.

“Hehe!” Ye Sanshi grinned.

“Naturally, that’s not all. My stipulation is that you must break at least two of the five physical records. Can you achieve that?”

Without awaiting Wang Ye’s response, he continued, “I’m aware that you prefer to keep your capabilities hidden until the opportune moment. When there’s no personal gain, you usually maintain the mindset of conserving your strength. I haven’t pressed you too hard in the past, but today, I need you to exert yourself.

You set a new team record in the 400m obstacle course. I don’t doubt your ability to excel in the three-kilometer run and the pull-ups!”

Wang Ye was rendered speechless, yet he nodded affirmatively, asserting, “Class monitor, rest assured. I can assure you that 1 won’t hold back in today’s assessment.”

In truth, Wang Ye harbored his own sense of helplessness. Given the rapid progress facilitated by the system, he couldn’t expose his full potential in an instant, necessitating his prior behavior.

Over the past three months, he had gained considerable strength from the sustenance in the mess hall.

Though Wang Ye had never stepped onto a scale previously, he was now at 135 catties.

With his enhanced physique, Wang Ye’s physical performance showed gradual improvements day by day, especially after the 400-meter obstacle course.

By now, everyone had fully embraced Wang Ye’s persona of being exceptionally strong.

Consequently, he wasn’t expending all his might at the moment.

At the very least, he didn’t need to meticulously control his outcomes.

Of course, Wang Ye deduced that he still needed to exercise some restraint.

[Strength: 1.3]

[Speed: 1.35]

[Stamina: 1.9]

Vision: 1.15

Memory: 1.5

Reaction: 1.4

These were Wang Ye’s current foundational attributes. Being 1.9 times as physically strong as an average individual was already strikingly superhuman. It was akin to having the combined physical strength of two ordinary adults within one person.

Additionally, there was the 1.35 times speed enhancement.

In reality, Wang Ye had yet to truly sprint a full three kilometers at his maximum speed.

However, Wang Ye speculated that if he were to sprint at full speed, running for ten minutes would undoubtedly be effortlessly achievable.

Hence, he needed to exert some self-restraint.

Breaking the current record would suffice.

As for surpassing it?

In the future, once he reconnected with the system, he could engage in some practice before unveiling his enhanced performance.

“Look… Look, Old Wang, I’m observing our son. Look, look-”

Within the family compound adjacent to the recruit company, atop the guest house’s roof, Wang Jianjun, Xu Xiaofeng, and two other couples stood alongside a regimental officer.

Numerous trees were obstructing the view between the recruit company and the family estate.

However, trees weren’t impenetrable barriers, and this was the fifth-floor rooftop. They could navigate around various trees and peer into the recruit company’s premises through gaps in the treetops.

Mm… Wang Jianjun observed through the binoculars.

The regimental officer had provided a pair of binoculars to the recruits’ parents, gifting them to each new recruit.

Though it had been suggested that all parents attend and be surprised, the officer had brought them to the rooftop to catch a glimpse through binoculars.

At this juncture, Wang Ye’s mother exclaimed. Wang Jianjun, standing beside her, couldn’t resist reaching for the binoculars, saying, “Where… Here, let me have a look…”

The building in question was situated one to two hundred meters from the walls enclosing the recruit company’s camp zone. Taking into account the recruit company itself, the direct-line distance between the training grounds and the wall spanned approximately five to six hundred meters.

While discerning details with the naked eye proved near-impossible, the army-issued binoculars proved more than up to the task.

Just a moment… Wait…” Wang Ye’s mother’s voice quivered with excitement. She motioned for her husband to take a look, extending one hand to point in the direction. Her other hand clung tightly to the binoculars.

Her eyes appeared slightly teary at this instant.

She had caught sight of Wang Ye jogging along the track.

His transformation was indeed remarkable, and it wasn’t a subtle transformation by any means.

In all honesty, it wasn’t due to her son’s striking handsomeness; rather, his transformation was so dramatic that she almost failed to recognize him at first glance.

“Allow me to take a look. I’ll give it back to you once I’ve seen!”

Beside her, Wang Jianjun’s persistence hadn’t waned. This time, Wang Ye’s mother acquiesced, finally relinquishing her grip on the binoculars.

Since Wang Ye was obscured by the tree cover,

“It’s on the track. Observe, our son is tanned, yet he appears more robust.”

Even though Wang Ye’s mother recognized her son’s silhouette was concealed by the tree canopy, she held back and provided directions as her husband took the binoculars.

“Where, where…”

Wang Jianjun did discern several individuals on the racetrack, but pinpointing his son amid the group proved challenging. Moreover, the figures he glimpsed all seemed to be dark…

“He’s running over there. That’s right, the tree is obstructing the view. Just wait, a moment!”

The trees along the wall posed considerable obstructions. Though only the treetops hindered part of the vista, due to the distance, they effectively obscured a significant portion.

Fortunately, after Wang Ye completed half a lap on the track, Wang Jianjun ultimately spotted the figure leading the pack by a substantial margin.

“You rascal, you’re certainly moving swiftly!”

Wang Jianjun couldn’t help but break into a smile.

At this juncture, Wang Ye remained oblivious to the fact that his parents were observing him from a rooftop several hundred meters away.

Within Wang Ye’s perspective, his parents were still diligently working to ensure he could inherit billions of assets in the future. Why would they venture to this remote and modest location?

Or rather, Wang Ye had never even entertained the notion of his parents making such a journey.

After all, there had been no communication from the military.

In this era, phone conversations were restricted. As for sending letters, even if expedited, it took a minimum of seven to eight days for a missive to traverse the distance from home.

In cases of delay, the interval could stretch to half a month or even more.

Efficiency was conspicuously low, precluding the prompt exchange of information.

Thus, Wang Ye remained earnestly pounding the track.

During the initial lap, Wang Ye pulled ahead of Wan Baojiang and Liang Fan by

40 to 50 meters.

Naturally, this was also due to Ye Sanshi’s prior caution against competing directly with Wang Ye.

After all, the task encompassed three kilometers. Should Wang Ye recklessly squander his physical energy, the vast disparity during the opening lap was implausible.

Running at the velocity of a 100-meter or even 400-meter sprint was unfeasible for Wang Ye without additional assistance.

Distributing his physical prowess judiciously was imperative.

The second lap, followed by the third… Upon completing the sixth lap, Wang Ye caught up to Qin Li.

Indeed, he completed a round and bridged the gap with the other runner.

“Wang… Brother Wang…Can you…Could you not be so absurdly exceptional!”

Qin Li sounded slightly forlorn.

“There’s still half the race track remaining, yet you’ve already lapped me once.”

At this instant, Qin Li appeared to catch sight of Ye Sanshi’s deadly glare.

Mm… He surely must’ve wanted to devour him alive.

He was being toyed with!

The humiliation was immeasurable.

“Concentrate…Focus on your breath…Adjust…Realign your rhythm…No messing around…

Best of luck!”

Wang Ye imparted this solitary statement before overtaking Qin Li, steadily increasing the gap between them under his disheartened gaze. With deliberation, he once again distanced himself from him.

Promptly, he caught up with Zhang Ping’an, the second competitor.

Subsequently, the third, followed by the fourth…

During the seventh lap, only Liang Fan and Wan Baojiang from Class Five still remained uncaught by Wang Ye.

Although the margin was not substantial. Wang Ye was a mere 60 to 70 meters behind Liang Fan.

Admittedly, Wang Ye briefly contemplated pursuing them at that instant. By disregarding all else, he could conceivably catch up, even if there was scarcely a lap left to run.

However, Wang Ye opted for restraint.

“Alright! Quick, pick up the pace!”

Beyond the track, Ye Sanshi had been running since the preceding two laps.

Given Wang Ye’s present speed, shattering the record was distinctly attainable!

Granted, the record pertained to the new recruits within the regiment. Nonetheless, it was a significant feat!

Wang Ye had achieved a perfect score in the formation assessment. He had set a new recruit company record with the gas mask, and he had bested the in-house record with his firearms proficiency. If he could achieve another breakthrough, this time in the 3,000-meter event, he would establish a new record.

The sentiment was valid. Ye Sanshi brimmed with enthusiasm.

He remained unaware that Wang Ye had the potential to acquire yet another third-class merit. However, he sensed that this scenario boded well for Wang Ye earning recognition as an exceptional class monitor in the current year. Should he garner a third-class merit by year’s end, it would solidify Wang Ye’s standing as an exemplary soldier.

Presently, Wang Ye remained oblivious to Ye Sanshi’s contemplations. Were he privy, he might have been rendered speechless.

This situation was dire; securing a third-class merit had already become an arduous task for him. Yet, circumstances played to his favor. He might actually earn one solely through his personal efforts.. To whom could he rationalize such a turn of events?
