Luoyun also sighed, from Masas and Karu, one could see the current standards of the Moon and Mars, which were indeed extraordinary.
"Today, your training task is to stand at attention until dawn."
Suddenly, six searchlights turned on, blinding everyone, and the first day of military training began.
For students in the military department, this was the start of a hellish journey.
Five hours later, only seven people remained standing at attention without moving.
Wang Zheng, Masas, Karu, Xie Yuxin, Zhang Shan, Ye Zisu, and Meng Tian.
Luoyun and the others also saw the disappointment in each other's eyes; the quality was really too poor. This level of intensity was nothing, yet only a few people remained.
As for those running ten thousand meters, they fell in waves, and those who could still walk and persist were already doing well.
Ye Zisu looked at Meng Tian, and Meng Tian also looked at Ye Zisu. These two were the most watched female freshmen. Meng Tian came from the Command Department, a military family, and with her nearly 1.8-meter height and perfect figure, she was somewhat surprised that Ye Zisu could also hold on.
"You seven are still decent. The formal training begins today, and I will be in charge. Now, start a full-speed ten-thousand-meter run."
Luoyun said, while the other three instructors were responsible for the other students.
The others were amused; sometimes their happiness was indeed built on others' pain. These seven people stood out too much, and after standing, they still had to run ten thousand meters.
Luoyun started the timer, and with a command, seven figures dashed out simultaneously.
The fastest was Meng Tian.
Undoubtedly, it was due to Meng Tian's A-level elite genes. In this situation, the physical condition of girls did not put them at a significant disadvantage.
Karu smiled, "Masas, since we have nothing else to do, let's have a race."
"Sure." Masas was very calm.
As they spoke, a figure darted past, and Zhang Shan was stunned. Damn, how could this guy be so fast!
Wang Zheng had no choice but to speed up. Only by performing well in the military training would he have a chance to enter the Mecha Department. His life was different from these guys.
Karu naturally did not forget about Wang Zheng and immediately chased after him. However, ten thousand meters was neither too long nor too short; if one pushed too hard at the beginning, they would be exhausted later.
Karu roared and chased after Wang Zheng. Masas smiled slightly, showing no expression, but his foot speed clearly increased. Xie Yuxin smiled bitterly; Wang Zheng was really going all out.
Ten minutes passed, and the students on the playground were stunned.
Wang Zheng's speed showed no signs of slowing down. Luoyun stared at the timer, amazed!
What kind of speed was this?
He had already run half of the ten thousand meters, and his speed had not decreased at all!
Behind Wang Zheng, Masas and Karu were also following closely, but they were already several dozen meters behind. Karu gritted his teeth, unable to understand how the guy in front could run so fast.
The others had already fallen far behind. Speed was not Zhang Shan's forte. Meng Tian was in fourth place, followed by Xie Yuxin, Ye Zisu, and Zhang Shan.
Ye Zisu indeed surprised many people, but Wang Zheng was not too surprised, as she trained every day.
However, Wang Zheng was just too fast. Soon, everyone, whether standing, lying down, or being lapped, was watching these seven people. They all felt that this had turned into a competition.
Halfway through, the body would inevitably enter a fatigue period. The harder one pushed, the more their speed would drop. This was not just a matter of willpower; the body would not listen.
Karu chuckled and let out another roar, suddenly accelerating. Mars had no cowards, and he took large strides to chase after Wang Zheng.
Although he roared fiercely, Masas quietly followed. Watching Karu sprint was like watching a tank, but while his momentum was fierce, he lacked the agility of Masas, who was quickly closing in on Wang Zheng.
However, at this moment, Wang Zheng's speed suddenly increased, not just a little. Wang Zheng originally just wanted to finish first, but he did not expect the two guys behind to chase so hard. Special treatment required excellent performance; otherwise, it would be difficult for the principal. Since that was the case, he might as well run faster.
Boom...
A cloud of dust exploded from the ground. Wang Zheng's internal energy flow accelerated, and his feet moved like the wind. There was no sign of fatigue, and he quickly pulled away from his pursuers.
Sixteen minutes later...
Wang Zheng completed the ten-thousand-meter run.
On the vast playground, there was complete silence. Was this still a human? What kind of speed and endurance was this!
Luoyun was also a bit disbelieving, but he would not lose his composure in front of these rookies. Damn, this was a new record in the entire Shangjing Military District.
"Report, sir, task completed."
Wang Zheng saluted and said.
Luoyun nodded in satisfaction. This kid not only had the ability but also a very good attitude. He could even sense a sense of military discipline in him, like a veteran who had been trained for a long time.
Wang Zheng had long been accustomed to being trained by Bones and did not feel any different from others.
Masas arrived second, at seventeen minutes and a few seconds. Karu was third, at eighteen minutes and a few seconds. Meng Tian, Xie Yuxin, and Zhang Shan followed, with Zhang Shan using all his strength to arrive simultaneously with Ye Zisu. As a man, he could not afford to be the last in running.
Even the last to arrive had impressive results, at least for new rookies.
Luoyun looked at the time. "Fall in!"
After this ordeal, the students were indeed more obedient, quickly gathering. Although they were not very neat, their attitude had improved.
"This military training will be divided into high, medium, and low segments, and the final scores will be counted towards your annual scores. Those who fail the military training will be expelled. The War God Military Academy trains future War Gods, not cowards. So, you better be on your best behavior. Now, Sergeants Zhao Teng, Ans, and Huines will conduct your formation drills. Begin!"
Luoyun then looked at Wang Zheng and the others. "You seven, follow me."
Luoyun could feel their heartbeats, slightly intense but under control. ... How did two of them disappear?
Luoyun turned around. Wang Zheng and Masas seemed unaffected by the previous run.
This was impressive!
"You seven have good endurance. Now, let's test your explosive power. Who wants to go first?"
Luoyun was also curious. Of course, Gute needed comprehensive data on the students. Apart from Masas and Karu, the others were not as bad as he had imagined.
"I'll go!" Zhang Shan wanted to regain his dignity. Running slowly was embarrassing, but strength was his specialty.
Ye Zisu looked at Meng Tian, who was staring at Wang Zheng. She had never heard of this person before. Where did he come from?
"Sir, do we have to use our fists, or can we be flexible?" Zhang Shan took off his shirt, revealing a muscular body.
"Be flexible. I want your maximum explosive power!" Luoyun waved his hand.
Zhang Shan took a few steps back, his feet bouncing lightly, and his rhythm quickened. Suddenly, he roared and delivered a spinning kick to the force gauge.
Boom...
416 pounds!
This strength would have been enough to dominate the fighting arena in the old days.
Zhang Shan slowly retracted his leg, a satisfied smile on his face. Although it was not his best, it was enough to outshine the others.
Luoyun nodded. Zhang Shan was a trained fighter.
"Next."
Xie Yuxin's strength was 280 pounds, far behind Zhang Shan, but still decent. He was not a strength-type athlete.
Karu glanced at Masas. "Let me try."
Facing the force gauge, Karu took a deep breath, his body arching like a tiger. His fist seemed to glow red as he struck the gauge.
Buzz...
528 pounds!
Ding ding ding...
Luoyun was stunned. This kind of strength was rare even in the regular army. No wonder Gute had given special instructions. Sometimes, one could not help but admire the fact that the Solar System had military competitions, and Mars and the Moon consistently dominated, while Earth's military played a supporting role.
This was also related to the special environments of Mars and the Moon.
Sometimes, people couldn't help but sigh, had Earth truly become nothing more than a symbol of human origin?
"You can't match us in strength!" Karu was still arrogant, regardless of where he was.
"Next." Although he was impressed, Luoyun, an Earth soldier, did not show it on his face.
"Ladies first." Masas smiled and gestured for her to go.
Ye Zisu's attack was 130 pounds.
"Hehe, girls are better suited for secretarial work. War is a man's game!" Karu laughed, as chauvinism was prevalent on Mars.
Meng Tian stepped up, standing quietly in front of the force gauge, giving Karu a cold look. Karu watched her with interest.
Boom...
490 pounds!
Although she did not match Karu, Meng Tian was a girl and not a muscular type, which surprised Karu.
Wang Zheng showed a hint of surprise. Meng Tian's move was quite interesting. It looked like one punch, but it was actually a high-speed triple strike. Luoyun was not particularly surprised, as he knew her.
Meng Tian, who had delivered an impressive strike, still had a calm expression.
This time, Karu did not make any sarcastic remarks but looked at Meng Tian with a conquering desire.
Luoyun recorded the score and nodded. "Next."
Masas looked at Wang Zheng, who gestured for him to go. Masas approached the force gauge, took a few steps back, and suddenly exerted his strength. Unlike Zhang Shan's ferocity, Masas's movements were lightning-fast.
Boom...
535 pounds!
With ease, Karu could not help but curse under his breath. He had trained hard all summer, yet he was still a little weaker than this guy. It was always just a little, which was frustrating.
Masas smiled, unconcerned, clearly not using his full strength.
"Wang Zheng, do your best, but don't hurt yourself. This thing has a strong counterforce."
Xie Yuxin said, knowing why Wang Zheng was pushing himself. The old man had indeed promised that if his military training performance was outstanding, it would be a good reason to persuade the Mecha Department teachers. Otherwise, even the principal could not bend the rules.
