Chapter 40: Company Commander, This Isn't Right

Gao Cheng's smile was mixed with contempt.

This was the unique tradition of the Steel Seventh Company.

In the Steel Seventh Company, if you are behind everyone, then even your breathing is wrong and you will be educated.

But if you are ahead of everyone, then you can be good brothers with the company commander.

Wu Liuyi was the example.

At this moment, Gao Cheng wanted absolute crushing, a Soldier King faster than Wu Liuyi.

His gaze was wandering on Feng Yuxiu.

What he wanted was for Feng Yuxiu to stand up and challenge this monument.

But he didn't wait for Feng Yuxiu's hand to raise, instead, it was Bai Tiejun, the bottom-ranked in the Third Squad, who stood up.

This made him very unhappy in his heart.

"Bai Tiejun, sit down." Gao Cheng pressed his right hand down, his gaze no longer paying attention to this poor soldier who intended to show off but was destined to become a laughingstock.

Bai Tiejun's face turned red, and he lowered his head, somewhat uneasy.

This uneasiness was brought about by his past decadence.

Everyone just laughed and continued to look at Gao Cheng.

Thus, Bai Tiejun was so embarrassed he was panicking, and just as he was about to sit down, he was kicked by Feng Yuxiu.

"Bai Tiejun, what are you doing? Hurry up and sit down!" Shi Jin hurriedly walked up and pulled at him.

He didn't believe that a miracle would appear in just one week.

And this miracle was based on the crushing of Wu Liuyi, the king of physical fitness.

"Squad Leader, I want to try, I feel I won't be at the bottom this time." Bai Tiejun mustered his courage and spoke.

Shi Jin sighed. "There's no hope, you know the Company Commander's temper, you'll end up being ridiculed and mocked."

"Squad Leader, let him try." Feng Yuxiu said with a calm expression.

That gaze was unwavering, making Shi Jin say inexplicably, "Company Commander, how about giving him a chance?"

"Go."

Gao Cheng said, continuing to proudly banter with Wu Liuyi, while Political Director Hong Xingguo on the side crossed his arms and watched the soldiers crossing obstacles with great interest.

Bai Tiejun took a deep breath. He came from a big mountain in the countryside, and his inferiority complex had lasted from enlistment until now.

Now, he felt there was hope.

Because Feng Yuxiu felt he could try.

He believed in Feng Yuxiu.

After waiting for the eight soldiers in the next batch to prepare to cross obstacles, Shi Jin stood on one side and raised his right hand high. "Ready... start!"

Bang!

A heat flow suddenly surged in Bai Tiejun's heart, and his explosive power reached its peak at this moment.

The previously unreachable obstacles were instantly in front of him, and without any hesitation, he pressed his hand on the hurdle and jumped over.

"Huh?" Gao Cheng suddenly looked at Bai Tiejun, who was leading the pack.

"Don't be nervous, maintain your breathing! Just like you practiced before!"

Bai Tiejun's heart surged with Feng Yuxiu's advice, and only the obstacles were in front of his eyes.

When he sprinted to the finish line.

There was no longer the usual mocking sound, but instead, it became a dead silence.

"Did I pass?"

Bai Tiejun's chest heaved significantly as he looked up at Gao Cheng.

At this moment, he saw shock in Gao Cheng's eyes.

Even Wu Liuyi was staring at him sideways.

"Not bad, not bad, really not bad! Join the formation!"

"Yes!"

Bai Tiejun revealed a smile and walked into the crowd.

The veterans in the crowd consciously cleared a path, and at the end of the path was Feng Yuxiu's gaze sitting on a stone platform.

"Sanduo, I seem to have passed." Bai Tiejun suddenly discovered the beauty he hadn't seen in the past.

The scorching wind also turned warm, and the breeze blowing made him feel happy involuntarily.

"Barely passed."

Feng Yuxiu was dissatisfied with this result.

According to the breathing rhythm he trained, and even clearing Bai Tiejun's acupuncture points every night.

Yet he ran like this.

Very dissatisfied!

Must increase the training subjects!

"Not bad, not bad, Bai Tiejun is really not bad! Keep it up." Gao Cheng praised with a smile.

Although he didn't reach excellence, he at least ran from the bottom to passing.

In Gao Cheng's heart, this soldier was not a waste or a decadent soldier.

But a soldier with a future and motivation.

For such soldiers, Gao Cheng's attitude was very kind.

"Shi Jin, you have a Wu Liuyi in your squad, this won't do, you have to train harder!"

Gao Cheng's gaze fell on Shi Jin.

"Yes!" Shi Jin stood straight.

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge Wu Liuyi's record? You are all bloody men, don't you even have this courage?" Gao Cheng's goal wasn't achieved, so his gaze swept across the entire company.

"Company Commander, Wu Deputy Squad Leader is a physical fitness model soldier, we're just going up to join the fun."

"Yeah, Company Commander, don't mock us."

Some squad leaders with good relationships asked for mercy one after another.

The company commander had never mentioned it twice in a row like today.

They had already sensed something was wrong.

Was he planning to use Wu Liuyi to give them some additional training tasks?

According to Wu Liuyi's life-risking training method, they would all have to lie down.

That was not just the model soldier of the Steel Seventh Company, but an iron man.

Made of iron.

Shi Jin suddenly trembled. He saw the meaningful look in Gao Cheng'

So he turned and said, "Xu Sanduo, step forward!"

Feng Yuxiu frowned. He felt that this kind of meaningless showing-off competition had no meaning at all.

That was why he didn't stand out.

But in the end, he couldn't escape Gao Cheng's gaze.

"Yes!"

Feng Yuxiu stood up and walked out in a goose step.

Thus, the words Gao Cheng had accumulated for three months were finally completely released.

It was also to give these veterans of the Steel Seventh Company an absolute sense of crushing and crisis.

"You all know, right? Xu Sanduo!"

Gao Cheng stood beside Feng Yuxiu and shouted loudly.

The other veterans were confused and didn't understand.

They didn't know the detailed list of the group army assessment.

Only Cheng Cai frowned with dissatisfaction.

He didn't care who was showing off.

But it was Feng Yuxiu, the one who came from the same village as him, and the object he had bullied since he was a child.

If he hadn't enlisted, there would be one more village guardian, Xu Sanduo, in Xia Rongshu.

Now, he was crushing him every time in the army!

Very unhappy! The heart is awkward!

Gao Cheng revealed a smile, a smile like a weasel looking at a little white rabbit.

"This... Xu Sanduo! In the all-army assessment, 500-meter obstacle in one minute and thirty seconds!"

"Hiss!"

The sound of gasping made Gao Cheng very satisfied.

"And his 5-kilometer forced march record is... fourteen minutes and thirty-seven seconds!"

Creak, creak!

Cheng Cai lowered his head, gnashing his teeth, his hands trembling as he gripped the stones.

This speed was no longer something that could be achieved just by risking one's life.

This was completely talent.

Even Wu Liuyi lowered his head and didn't speak.

He still couldn't understand how this speed was produced until now.

Did he grow a donkey's heart?

"Wu Liuyi!"

"Here!" Wu Liuyi stood straight.

"What is your obstacle crossing record?" Gao Cheng's gaze fell on Wu Liuyi.

Wu Liuyi's face sagged. "Company Commander, don't..."

"How much?"

"Thirty-seven seconds and eighty-two."

Gao Cheng looked at Feng Yuxiu as if looking at an eagle about to fly. "Remember, thirty-seven seconds and eighty-two, this is your goal, prepare!"

Feng Yuxiu frowned. This feeling was very bad.

His bones were not the kind of character to be used as a chess piece for others to show off.

And this kind of showing-off performance was too low-level.

"Run!"

At Gao Cheng's order, Feng Yuxiu suddenly burst out and instantly darted out.

"Damn, this explosive power!" Bai Tiejun was completely shocked.

Gao Cheng's gaze revealed a smile; he was already looking forward to the motivation of these bastards.

But gradually, his face became gloomy.

Feng Yuxiu's speed was getting slower and slower, and finally, when he ran to the finish line, he barely passed.

"Company Commander... forty-six seconds..." Shi Jin clicked the stopwatch and said tremblingly.

At this moment, Feng Yuxiu at the finish line and Gao Cheng's gazes intertwined. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
