Chapter 126: Prove Yourself With Strength

“Ye Sanshi, is this how your Fourth Company trains new recruits? Casually bringing him out of the recruit company?”

In the Second Company, the two first lieutenant platoon leaders didn’t say anything, but a third-phase veteran looked over with a serious expression.

Compared to the infantry companies, the tank companies had more senior officers. Wang Ye glanced around and saw a mix of second and third-phase recruits, and there was even a fourth-phase recruit among them. Of course, there were also first-class soldiers with two crutches.

However, at this moment, the class monitor of the third-phase recruits stepped forward, and Ye Sanshi smiled and said, “Squad Leader Liu, 1 didn’t bring him out casually. Wang Ye can be considered a highly outstanding recruit. Our company commander gave him special permission to train here. Even the regiment commander personally informed us about it.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask the Commander.”

Facing the third-phase recruit, although Ye Sanshi referred to him as the class monitor, he was neither subservient nor overbearing. While he respected the veterans, he didn’t cower when challenged.

He knew the importance of standing his ground. If he allowed himself to be intimidated, not only would he feel uncomfortable, but it might also reach Wu Jianfeng, causing him more trouble in the future.

And that was something he couldn’t afford to let happen.

The second phase might mark the end of his military career.

Even his platoon leader, who was still bitterly laughing, and the other soldiers of the fourth company, who had failed to educate the new recruits last time and had to undergo additional training, could be implicated as well.

Even worse, his old class monitor, who had retired from the army and returned home, might call or even write to scold him.

In the army, the most annoying thing was the cowardly soldiers, and they were the most hated.

“Humph!” The veteran snorted and then looked at Wang Ye, “Right now, our Second Company is carrying out obstacle crossing training. If you want to join and train, wait a moment. When our Second Company is done with training, the venue will be given to you.”

“No need, no need!” Ye Sanshi grinned, “Wang Ye will run alone, so you don’t need to time him. Besides, you weren’t keeping time before, so I won’t delay you.”

“He can go to any running track and share the same track with your people.”

After saying that, he didn’t wait for them to agree. He turned to Wang Ye and said, “Go, just find a random track and pay attention to avoid the tank veterans. Of course, if they fall and lose their strength, you can help them up.”

“Damn it, Ye Sanshi, don’t go too far,” another second-stage actor stood up and looked at Ye Sanshi with a dark face.

What did he mean by helping him up? Did the veterans of our tank company need a recruit from the recruit company to help them up? Who was he looking down on? This was humiliation.

“Haha, good, good, good. I was wrong, I was wrong…” Ye Sanshi smiled apologetically and then looked at Wang Ye, “Alright… I’ll correct what I said just now. You don’t have to worry about them. You can run on your own. I’ll time it. Hurry up and run. After running, we still have to go back and press the blanket!”

“Yes, sir!”

Although Wang Ye agreed verbally, he cursed Ye Sanshi in his heart.

“Why does he have to sow discord between us? What’s the point of provoking them? Isn’t he afraid of causing trouble?”

Nevertheless, there were only the two of them here, while a company still had 20 to 30 soldiers.

Wang Ye knew that if he angered them, things could turn unpleasant quickly.

But for now, it didn’t seem that serious.

Under the watchful eyes of the tank soldiers, Wang Ye arrived at the running track of the training ground and randomly picked one.

On the track, there was already a soldier in the obstacle course ahead, currently going back over the obstacles.

“Ready!”

Ye Sanshi came to the side and raised his stopwatch.

Wang Ye focused his mind and prepared himself.

“Run!”

Immediately, Wang Ye rushed out, determined to give his best performance.

Compared to the first time it happened half a month ago, Wang Ye’s current speed was a little slower than before. This was something he had learned after running several times.

However, this slight decrease in pace seemed remarkably fast to the soldiers of the Tank Company.

“Fuck, how can he run 400 meters like this!”

“This new recruit won’t have the stamina. Prepare to witness a joke later. I bet he won’t make it back!”

“Hehe, how embarrassing. I can’t wait to mock him.”

Wang Ye’s run amused the soldiers of the tank company.

They only knew about Wang Ye’s current situation, and they were aware that the Fourth Company was being punished. However, they had never witnessed Wang Ye’s running ability before.

Based on their own experiences, they believed that if someone ran at such a fast pace during the first 400 meters, they would be wasting their stamina recklessly.

Of course, Wang Ye couldn’t hear their taunts at the moment.

Ye Sanshi overheard some of the remarks, but he pretended to be worried. “Sigh… Why couldn’t this new recruit keep his cool?”

His muttered words only fueled the amusement of the tank company soldiers.

“Haha, Squad Leader Ye, it’s good to be young and energetic. We can’t be too hard on new recruits. How about this, I’ll go to that spot over there and wait for him. If he doesn’t make it back, 1’11 go down and give him a push. How about that?”

The soldiers of the Tank Company recalled what Ye Sanshi had said earlier.

“Hmph, there’s no need. If he can’t run back, 1’11 go back and teach him a lesson!” Ye Sanshi gritted his teeth, which only added to the amusement of the tank company soldiers.

At the same time, Wang Ye finished the first 100-meter empty run.

As he reached the flag, he encountered a soldier from the opposing tank company. The soldier looked at Wang Ye, panting heavily, still unsure of the situation.

Ignoring him, Wang Ye quickly passed by and smoothly tackled the obstacle course.

Compared to the first time half a month ago, even if Wang Ye’s skill hadn’t leveled up, he could now cross the obstacles more smoothly. He didn’t waste energy like before and applied the techniques Ye Sanshi had taught them.

Ye Sanshi had imparted all the techniques, but he had never run from the beginning to the end while demonstrating to them. As a class monitor, he received similar results to a new recruit he taught and was afraid of being surpassed.

Therefore, Ye Sanshi hid his skill level and only taught them the techniques and experiences of crossing obstacles. He would walk over each obstacle, slowly demonstrating and teaching them.

This approach prevented Wang Ye from triggering the experience bonus given by the veteran.

Consequently, Wang Ye’s 400-meter obstacle crossing was only at level 1 (5/io).

However, he wasn’t overly concerned about it. The Commander had given him enough time, and he knew he would level up after a few more rounds.

In fact, due to Ye Sanshi’s guidance, Wang Ye had already practiced running the obstacle course a few times. Now, Wang Ye realized that even if he advanced to level 2, his movements might be smoother due to the experience of crossing obstacles brought about by leveling up, but his technique might not improve significantly.

“Hey… Isn’t this new recruit tired?”

“Something’s not right. He should have slowed down by now!”

As Wang Ye finished his second 100-meter run and returned, the soldiers of the Second Company couldn’t stay calm any longer.

Initially, they had wanted to enjoy the spectacle or mock Ye Sanshi later.

But now, those thoughts turned into uneasiness and nervousness.

This recruit’s stamina was extraordinary.

It was already the third hundred meters, but his speed didn’t drop as much as they had expected.

It didn’t make sense.

Finally, as Wang Ye went into the pit and climbed up again, his speed slowed down significantly.

They could see that Wang Ye’s footsteps were a little weak and unstable.

But… No one felt happy.

He had run too fast in the beginning, and now he was struggling.

There were no more obstacles in the next round.

In other words, it was over.

“1 minute 34.51 seconds!”

A loud roar broke the silence among the Second Company’s tank soldiers, who were in a bad mood.

Ye Sanshi shouted.

After shouting out the result, Ye Sanshi supported Wang Ye and looked at the soldiers from the Second Company with a smile, “Hehe, well, brothers of the Second Company, we’re done running. We’ll be leaving first!”

Ye Sanshi was a true veteran and knew when to pick his battles. He had no intention of provoking the Second Company further. He had already finished the race and achieved a commendable result.

Gathered nearby were all soldiers of the Second Company, and in such a situation, if Ye Sanshi dared to taunt them, he was certain they would retaliate instantly.

The consequences would be dire; outnumbered by 20 to 30 soldiers, including one who had just finished running 400 meters and was exhausted, they would have no means to defend themselves.

They would undoubtedly face a miserable outcome.

Wang Ye might be spared due to his impressive results and potential value as a new recruit. Such a talent would be a valuable asset for the company. Moreover, beating up someone with such potential would not reflect well on the Second Company.

However, Ye Sanshi knew he would end up being beaten until he looked like a pig’s head if he didn’t protect Wang Ye.

Therefore, he wisely chose to leave before things escalated any further.
