Chapter 635: Upright Zhao Dezhu

"Lord Leader, don't have so much confidence in us. This is too high. At least 80% of people won't qualify!"

Wailing sounds rose from the crowd. It was Wang Zhetao, who didn't qualify in the first 200-meter test.

"Yes, Lord Leader, lower the difficulty a bit..."

"Thank you for the leader's trust, but I'm not very confident!"

"Kneeling and begging to lower the difficulty."

The atmosphere was relaxed, so as long as someone took the lead, there would definitely be followers.

"Ahem!"

Zhang Su coughed, waited for the scene to quiet down, pointed to the top of the pole, and said: "No matter when, you must hold a belief in victory. Besides, this is a selection, not playing house!"

After saying that, Zhang Su jumped on the spot and leaped lightly.

"My god!"

"Big brother, let us off."

"Are you not going to let people live!"

In the astonished eyes of the crowd, Zhang Su jumped up and touched the top of the pole with his forehead, then landed lightly, looking as if he hadn't used any effort at all.

"Look, I can do it so easily, so naturally you won't have much difficulty. That's the standard! Beauties, look over here. That pole is your standard, 2.7 meters."

Zhang Su pointed to the pole held by Ju Wuying and said.

In the high jump segment, Zhang Su lowered the requirements for women slightly, but even so, it still made a group of female members feel pressure, because the way of jumping and exerting force was different from sprinting.

In the previous survival process, they basically had to run every day, but jumping was not necessarily the case.

The male members had already begged once, to no avail, so the female members didn't do anything superfluous and accepted it calmly.

After clarifying the test rules, they lined up by gender. The speed was very fast, one after another. Whether they passed or not was clear at a glance, and recording it was also quite easy.

The female members' test was finished in less than two minutes, and the male members only took about ten minutes.

Facts proved that some things shouldn't be taken for granted. The 3.2-meter high jump standard was not difficult for men, and the qualifying rate was as high as 80%, which made many people not dare to believe it themselves.

The twenty-five people who didn't qualify felt very frustrated. Some of them didn't prepare well before jumping, wasting the opportunity, and some sprained their feet in the first running test...

Others were simply not good enough, such as Wang Zhetao, who started the commotion at the beginning. His father, Wang Guangjun, passed the test in one go. The father was much stronger than the son!

Although there were no specific values for the test, through simple visual inspection, Zhang Su could be sure that the champion was the lame Xie Guangfa!

He was at most 1.7 meters tall, and one leg had an old injury, which was inconvenient. He was able to touch the top of the pole with his wrist in a standing jump. There were more than a dozen people who also touched the pole with their wrists, but they were all tall people. The tallest, the "Bright Knight" Fan Dahai, even touched the top of the pole with the middle part of his forearm.

However, the height difference between Fan Dahai and Xie Guangfa was 20 centimeters. From the absolute height of the jump, Xie Guangfa was still better, which showed the strength of his leg explosiveness! The situation of the female members was relatively poor. Even though Zhang Su specially took care of the women, only five reached the standard.

Among them, the most dazzling was still Ma Xueyan, who exceeded the standard by at least 30 centimeters. She was as light as a swallow, just like her name. And the most regrettable was Su Xiaoya, who belonged to the kind of regret that even if she had kept her nails for ten more days, she could have succeeded. Or if there had been a second chance, she might have succeeded after summarizing the experience, but unfortunately, there were no "ifs."

"Hmm... in terms of jumping ability, beauties, you need to work harder in the future. It's too shitty!"

Zhang Su commented mercilessly, then pointed to the direction of the No. 1 village entrance and said: "For the last test, we are changing places. Follow me!"

After saying that, he walked toward the village with the crowd.

The distance of two or three hundred meters was reached in no time. The busy people in the village looked curiously at the swarming crowd, and some who were not very busy put down their work and gathered around to join the fun.

Zhang Su pointed to a big guy lying on the ground next to an abandoned house at the entrance of the village and said to the crowd: "This is the last item."

Everyone looked in the direction Zhang Su pointed, and it was a huge tire, with a diameter of at least 1.5 meters, and the weight was unknown...

This tire was a tire from an excavator, dragged back from Niujuan Town. It was already scrapped, and Zhang Su thought it would be useful, so he kept it here. Now it really came in handy.

Some people showed a look of sudden realization and nodded slowly, obviously understanding what to do next. But more were confused. "The first test was running speed, the second was jumping height, and the third is comprehensive strength. The test method is very simple; you just need to flip this tire!"

After listening to Zhang Su's words, it was obvious that some people breathed a sigh of relief. Flipping a tire, it looked like there was no difficulty.

The female members' faces turned pale...

Unlike running and jumping, the big tire on the ground weighed at least two or three hundred catties. Flipping it over was real hard work. It did require a certain amount of skill, but if the strength wasn't enough, all skills were in vain! Everyone had learned their lesson and didn't protest anymore because it was meaningless, but there were still things that weren't clear and had to be asked.

"Brother Zhang, what is the standard? Is flipping it once enough?"

The person who asked was someone Zhang Su knew. It was Liu Lan, whom Qiu Hui had told him about.

Recently, Zhang Su had paid special attention to Liu Lan during his patrols and hadn't found any abnormalities. He planned to wait for an opportunity to send someone to probe her. After all, without substantial evidence, he couldn't just listen to Qiu Hui's one-sided words.

Liu Lan's performance in the first two items was average. She qualified in running but didn't qualify in the high jump. She was already guaranteed to enter the Reserve Legion. If she had ambition, the last item was crucial.

"As for the standard, I'll talk about it later. Zhuzi, help move the tire to a spacious place!"

Zhang Su waved to Zhao Dezhu and gave him a subtle look at the same time.

"Alright!"

Zhao Dezhu was not good at decision-making, but he wasn't stupid. He instantly understood the meaning in Zhang Su's eyes.

"This item is relatively niche, and many people must have never come into contact with it. When lining up for the test, those who know how to do it stand in front, and those who don't should watch and learn more. Come, let Zhao Dezhu demonstrate it for everyone first."

Zhang Su said to the crowd.

People spontaneously gave a round of applause.

"I'll make a fool of myself, I'll make a fool of myself!"

Zhao Dezhu waved to the crowd and walked toward the tire.

The Yama Legion big brother was demonstrating it himself, so people really had to watch carefully. People focused their attention on Zhao Dezhu.

Standing in front of the tire, Zhao Dezhu squatted down and cleaned the mud on the edge of the tire slightly. After finding a place to start, he reached his fingers inside, and his shoulders tightened. With a light grunt, he lifted the tire to an angle, then used his knees to push it up, cleverly using the strength of various parts of his body. In a smooth and flowing motion, he flipped the tire over.

*Whoosh, plop! * Seeing Zhao Dezhu do it so easily, everyone thought the tire had rotted and was hollow, having no weight. But when it hit the ground and made a dull sound, they realized that heavy or not was only relative! "Hmph, ha, hey..."

If Zhang Su and Ju Wuying's combat power was considered T0 level in the Yama Legion, Zhao Dezhu could follow closely behind, ranking in the first row of the first echelon. He had no obvious weaknesses in combat, and his physical fitness was absolutely first-class, dealing with such comprehensive tests with ease.

Zhang Su roughly recorded the time. In ten seconds, Zhao Dezhu flipped the tire seven times. He didn't know how this result was, but judging from Zhao Dezhu's expression, he should still have some energy left, but not much.

Amidst the flying dust, the huge tire was moved to an open field.

*Bang! * "Whew..."

In the dust, Zhao Dezhu turned his head to look at Zhang Su: "Big brother, is it okay to put it here?"

Feeling the admiring gazes all around, he felt wonderful inside.

"OK!"

Zhang Su smiled and made a gesture.

"Brother Zhuzi, you must be tired. Look, you're even sweating. Let me help you wipe it, don't catch a cold."

A charming beauty walked from the crowd of onlookers to Zhao Dezhu's side and reached out to help Zhao Dezhu wipe his sweat.

This phenomenon was simply too common in the eyes of ordinary members. Sucking up to powerful people was not shameful, and they didn't think anything of it. But it was very fresh in the eyes of the Yama Legion members, including Zhao Dezhu himself! The atmosphere on Tianma Mountain was still okay, and he had never experienced such temptation. When the fragrant wind hit him, he only felt his heart flutter. But when he saw the playful gazes of Zhang Su, Qi Xiaoshuai, Pan Guoliang, and others, and Yu Wen's slightly cold eyes, he shuddered all over.

"No need, no need, go away. I'm done, don't block everyone's test!"

After saying that, Zhao Dezhu pushed away the beauty who wanted to wipe his sweat with an upright and unyielding attitude and walked toward the Yama Legion crowd without changing his expression.
