Yesterday’s pull-up test score was 47, but today, he was at 49 and still not showing his full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest for no more than five seconds!\" Chen Zhechang reminded loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Shuwei let out a long shout from his chest, suddenly kicked his legs, and exerted himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty! Not bad! He cleared the bar! Three more than yesterday!\" Chen Zhechang exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Fang Huai rarely joined in with everyone to applaud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though in his eyes, the score was just average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t about the score being high or low, being able to break through one’s own limits at the crucial moment was indeed something worth encouraging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongting, however, touched his chin and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... The last swing was a bit wide. We should strive for fifty indisputable pull-ups that leave no room for the referees to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prepare well for the Corps Martial Arts Competition later this year and aim for a good result.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Regimental Commander!\" Yao Shuwei clenched his aching palms and made a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the next three passed 45 pull-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six people went by quickly, in just over a dozen minutes, but the group climbing the hook ladder on the side was even faster and was already waiting their turn for the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai noticed Liu Shoulin among that group, the strongest in overall performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the pull-up bar, it seemed he scored 52.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Shoulin, how did you do on the hook ladder?\" Chief of Staff Zhou asked with a cheerful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the Detachment’s prized soldiers with top scores all around, especially in leg strength, strong enough to contend with He Zhijun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit of a slip-up, Chief of Staff, 15.83 seconds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shoulin somewhat sheepishly spoke about a time that many elites couldn’t achieve in their lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone in the country has already broken the 14-second barrier, 13.7 seconds. Young man, you need to work hard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongting sighed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Shoulin has also made it under 14.6 seconds. These events, you can’t always be in the perfect state,\" the Chief of Staff said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, he turned to Fang Huai,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you, young man? Watching these excellent squad leaders, can you still be as wild as before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give you another year, where do you think you would rank among them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, those from Second Squadron chuckled to themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai smiled as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he didn’t answer the Chief of Staff, only looked at Liu Shoulin and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squad Leader Liu, I’m just a new recruit. If we tie, does that mean I win?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shoulin smiled helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was completely unsure of Fang Huai’s ability; anyhow, reaching 50 was a sure thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai’s first practice of 39 plus a seamless second practice of 24 were indeed challenging for him to complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Fang Huai’s challenging gaze, he had no choice but to say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My legs have been a bit uncomfortable these past days, I don’t want to run, and here you are picking on me, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, today I will risk it all with you, gentleman. If we tie, you win!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air suddenly grew quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone heard this, their minds were buzzing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was Liu Shoulin saying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t understand, not at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the two leaders were puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Fang Huai ease his smiling face, glanced around at the two groups of old soldiers, and proclaimed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squad Leader Zhang Guangxu, Squad Leader Long Xinfeng, last night didn’t you ask me what qualifications I had to join Special Service Squadron 2?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, today I’ll stand for Special Service Squadron 2 and challenge you. If you can surpass me, Instructor Cao will certainly write a report for the leadership next year to recruit you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yi also laughed, \"For sure, if you can surpass Fang Huai, our leadership is here. I’ll write the report immediately, I’ll even accept skipping ranks to submit it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha...\" Everyone from Second Squadron laughed outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other old soldiers, seeing Cao Yi’s demeanor, suddenly felt a bad premonition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they still didn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones feeling somewhat nervous were just a few people who scored around 40.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongting and Chief of Staff Zhou turned their heads and scanned everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Fang, how many can you pull?\" Zhang Zhongting couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, just watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai didn’t say anything and turned around to get ready for the pull-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\" Fang Huai stood under the bar and yelled loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he wasn’t going to hold back any longer; from today on, the parallel bars were no longer worth showing off on for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a leap, he was on the bar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One! Two! Three! Four!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fang Huai started, the people of Special Service Squadron 2 immediately began to count out loud for him like a mountainous roar or a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief of Staff Zhou and Zhang Zhongting’s eyes began to show astonishment. The speed of his start was too fast; this definitely wasn’t a matter of just twenty or thirty reps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shouts from Squadron 2 bewildered the group that had just finished climbing the rope and had moved on to the hook ladder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had just started, so why were they yelling so loudly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the more they listened, the more alarmed they became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This son of a bitch had been shouting up to twenty without stopping!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones not in battle began to crane their necks to see what was happening at the parallel bars area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty-nine, thirty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finished thirty reps in one go without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just too damn exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongting felt as if his eyeballs were about to shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chief of Staff’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhechang kept rubbing his eyes, finishing up, and then began scratching his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty-five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai paused, taking a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt as if his heart was finally making noise again, beating fiercely; in three seconds’ time, the feeling of abundant strength started to surge again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty-five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every five reps, he took a break, but each time he got back up his movements were still fierce and quick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old soldiers of the Training Team had become numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half the people in the Training Team were going to be responsible for contract violations from the 20-kilometer punishment, based on the bet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the look of things, hoping for less than fifty reps was wishful thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai’s movements finally began to slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were continuous, without end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forty-eight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forty-nine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty-one!! Come on, Fang Huai!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smoothly crossed the fifty-rep threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai let out a breath; it was time for his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Five seconds! Go for it!\" Zhang Zhongting couldn’t care less anymore; he just wanted to see what kind of big news his admirable nephew could make today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go up... just go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai shouted and started exerting his strength again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty... two!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty... three!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fang Huai is awesome!\" General Han, who was naive enough to be unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth, began to shout loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty... four!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it...\" Those on the Training Team began to swear, and even Liu Shoulin’s face began to twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who shouted about a 20-kilometer punishment just now??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, he must be the Secretary of Punishments!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty-five, fifty-five!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fang Huai, sixty reps! Knock He Zhijun down for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongting saw that Fang Huai could still do pull-ups and was so excited he almost threw his cap on the ground, but seeing the police badge on it, he restrained himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai gritted his teeth inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of... joke is this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty-six!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai struggled to keep his head up and desperately reached for the bar, but when he heard that shout, he finally came down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!\" Both leaders felt it was such a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, their mindset had completely changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid was no longer part of the rank and file of prospects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a contender, a contender!
