The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

(Let me add a chapter first...)

After the first three projects were completed, the assessment team gave the new recruits enough time to recover.

The other recruits sat resting on the side of the parade ground.

Wei Shanjia, however, was not idle.

He first walked slowly to relax his muscles, which were a bit stiff after the strength test.

Once my body had recovered sufficiently, I started exercising my ankles, knees, and hips again.

When he got to projects he was truly good at, Wei Shanjia's entire demeanor changed.

His usual chatter and restlessness temporarily disappeared.

His attention was completely focused on the track!

Three thousand meters, a total of seven and a half laps!

A steady pace is needed for the first kilometer.

Keep an eye on Shen Yan's condition from a distance of one kilometer, ready to distance yourself from him at any time!

The speed increases in the last kilometer.

Sprint all out for the final 400 meters!

Wei Shanjia had already planned out the entire match in his mind!

Gao Zhenhai, standing to the side, nodded slightly upon seeing the change in Wei Shanjia.

This is what a national-level athlete should look like.

He's usually quite talkative.

When it comes to his own area of ​​expertise, this guy is indeed quite good!

Chen Gang also became interested in the upcoming matches.

Shen Yan has made rapid progress in weighted running over the past month.

Now I can complete five kilometers with a load of 36 kilograms.

But running with weights and running 3,000 meters are not the same thing.

Running with weights requires even more strength, endurance, center of gravity control, and injury prevention.

The 3,000-meter race requires even greater speed endurance and pacing experience developed through long-term training.

Wei Shanjia has been practicing for so many years.

It's really hard to say who will win or lose this match!

After the break, the first group of participants for the 3,000-meter test arrived at the starting line.

Most of the new recruits in the second platoon were assigned to this group.

After standing on the track, Gawa stretched his legs.

He herded sheep in pastoral areas since childhood, so his stamina is also quite good.

But he has no intention of competing for first place at all.

Because one of the two people next to him is a national first-class athlete.

The other one is a superhuman who can run five kilometers while carrying 36 kilograms!

He just hopes he doesn't get swarmed by these two freaks; that would be a victory in itself!

Wei Shanjia stood behind the starting line and turned to look at Shen Yan.

"Shen Yan".

"You won two of the first three rounds, and I won one."

"Let's not make excuses now."

"Give it your all for the entire 3000 meters!"

Shen Yan nodded.

"it is good."

The fighting spirit in Wei Shanjia's eyes grew stronger.

That's exactly what he was waiting for!

If Shen Yan doesn't go all out, it won't mean anything even if I win.

He wanted to defeat Shen Yan fair and square in front of everyone!

Ga Wa stood beside the two of them and whispered:

"Friend, run with confidence."

"If you lose again this time, we won't laugh at you for long."

"They'll only laugh until the end of basic training!"

Wei Shanjia was so angry that he almost wanted to give Ga Wa a sweeping kick right at the start of the race!

"On your marks!"

The examiners raised the starting pistol.

Everyone leaned forward slightly.

Wei Shanjia's expression became completely serious.

boom!

Gunshots rang out!

Several new recruits rushed out immediately.

They knew that Wei Shanjia was a national first-class athlete, and they also knew that Shen Yan's physical strength was ridiculously strong.

If you run at a normal pace, it's impossible to keep up with two people.

The only way is to seize the lead at the start!

Even if you're only one lap ahead, you've still been ahead!

Wei Shanjia completely ignored them.

Shen Yan was not in a hurry either.

The two started at their own pace.

Before the first lap was even over, the few recruits at the front were already starting to regret it.

They started too fast, and their breathing quickly became erratic.

Wei Shanjia and Shen Yan easily passed by them, one after the other.

Wei Shanjia ran ahead.

Shen Yan followed behind on the right.

The two people were only half a body length apart.

First lap complete.

The timekeeper glanced at the stopwatch.

high speed!

However, Wei Shanjia's breathing and gait did not become disordered.

He was very familiar with this rhythm.

Over the past few years, he has repeated this countless times on the track!

Shen Yan also remained stable.

The weight-bearing running ability accumulated by the system began to be fully realized after the 36 kilograms of weight were removed!

His body had never felt so relaxed.

The burden that used to be distributed among the shoulders, back, waist, abdomen, and legs when running has now completely disappeared.

Every step I took was lighter than during weight training!

One thousand meters!

The timekeeper announces the time.

Two minutes and fifty-one seconds!

The expressions of several class leaders who knew about middle and long-distance running changed instantly.

This pace is already quite incredible!

Moreover, neither Wei Shanjia nor Shen Yan showed any obvious signs of slowing down!

Hearing Shen Yan's consistently steady footsteps, Wei Shanjia felt pressure for the first time.

Shen Yan actually followed?

fine!

One kilometer is just the beginning!

The real challenge of the 3,000-meter stretch is the last 1,000 meters or so!

Wei Shanjia maintained his pace, preparing to gradually put pressure on Shen Yan in the second kilometer.

No matter how he adjusted his pace, Shen Yan always followed behind him.

Not a single step more.

Not a single step was missed!

Wei Shanjia could even hear Shen Yan's breathing.

It is indeed heavier than it was at the beginning.

But things still didn't get chaotic!

Two kilometers!

Five minutes and forty-four seconds!

The area around the playground has become completely quiet.

All the other recruits were staring at the two people on the track.

Now, only Wei Shanjia and Shen Yan remain in the leading group.

Everyone else has been left far behind!

Chen Gang frequently checked his stopwatch, his eyes filled with surprise.

He was not surprised that Wei Shanjia was able to achieve such a result.

This guy is already a national-level athlete!

But Shen Yan was still able to keep up?

Is this new recruit from Fudan University's medical school really planning to take down even the top-level athletes from the School of Physical Education?

The last kilometer!

Wei Shanjia started to speed up!

His pace noticeably increased.

The initial half-body length difference gradually widened.

One body length!

Wei Shanjia felt the footsteps behind him fading into the distance, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's more like it!

The 3000-meter race is my home turf!

No matter how strong Shen Yan is at weighted running, he can never surpass himself in speed endurance, given his years of specialized training!

Gao Zhenhai, who was standing by the playground, also noticed the changes.

"Wei Shanjia is starting to speed up!"

Liang Zheng stood to the side, watching their movements.

"He had been controlling his physical strength the whole time."

"The last kilometer is when he truly begins the race."

Chen Gang remained silent.

He looked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was indeed pulled a bit further away, but his running posture remained unchanged.

This kid hasn't reached his limit yet!

Sure enough, Shen Yan also began to accelerate in the last two laps.

The gap of one body length gradually narrowed.

Wei Shanjia's eyes widened when he heard the footsteps approaching again behind him.

Is it still possible to pursue it?

How can this guy still chase?!

The last lap!

Wei Shanjia no longer conserved his strength.

His legs began to feel heavy, and his lungs felt like they were being filled with fire.

Every breath was accompanied by a burning pain.

But he still forced himself to increase his speed!

This was his last shred of dignity!

He lost the push-up, which could be attributed to Shen Yan being thinner and thus having an advantage.

If you lose at sit-ups, you can say that you're not a specialist in that sport.

Even if Shen Yan lost the weighted run, it could also be said that he was more adapted to carrying weight.

But 3,000 meters won't do!

This is a sport he's practiced for so many years!

If he loses even the 3,000 meters, how can he ever call himself a national first-class athlete again?

The last 400 meters!

Wei Shanjia begins his all-out sprint!

Shen Yan was still half a body length away from him.

Wei Shanjia gritted his teeth.

can win!

As long as he maintains this gap, he can win!

At the edge of the playground, all the new recruits in the second squad had already started shouting.

Someone cheered for Wei Shanjia.

Someone cheered Shen Yan on.

The two of them simply shouted together.

"Run!"

"You two, run!"

"The sheep behind are almost catching up!"

The other recruits almost broke down on the spot when they heard this.

Who is the sheep?

They were still more than half a lap away from the two people in front of them!

The last two hundred meters!

Shen Yan increased his pace again.

His legs were also very tired.

But the past month of weight training has made him more familiar with how to maintain the movement when fatigued!

The gap between Shen Yan and Wei Shanjia narrowed rapidly.

Half a body length.

side by side!

In the last 100 meters, the two were almost on the same line!

Wei Shanjia caught a glimpse of Shen Yan out of the corner of his eye, and he nearly went crazy.

Why is this guy still around?

Get out of here!

This is my own 3,000 meters!

What makes you think you can catch up?

Wei Shanjia used his last bit of strength to sprint forward one last time.

Shen Yan also held nothing back.

The two are getting closer and closer to the finish line!

Fifty meters!

Thirty meters!

Ten meters!

Crossing the finish line!

Shen Yan managed to gain two or three meters of distance in the last few steps!

The timekeeper simultaneously pressed the stopwatch.

After crossing the finish line, Wei Shanjia braced himself on his knees with both hands, panting heavily.

He no longer had the strength to look at Shen Yan.

He could only look up and stare intently at the stopwatch in the timekeeper's hand.

The two timekeepers repeatedly checked the results.

Everyone around the playground fell silent.

"Shen Yan!"

"Eight minutes and thirty-two and a half seconds!"

"Wei Shanjia!"

"Eight minutes and thirty-three seconds!"

Only 0.5 seconds away!

Wei Shanjia ran a time of eight minutes and thirty-three seconds!

This achievement would be quite impressive even in a sports academy!

But he still lost!

We lost by a mere 0.5 seconds!

Wei Shanjia supported himself on his knees, his whole body completely frozen.

I lost at push-ups.

I lost the sit-up.

I finally won one in the horizontal bar.

As a result, he reached the 3,000 meters, which he was best at and most proud of.

We lost again!

And the loss was only by 0.5 seconds!

If only he had been a little faster.

If only the stride frequency were a little higher during the sprint.

If only we hadn't wasted even a little bit of energy in the middle!

He could win!

But a loss is a loss!

Let alone 0.5 seconds.

Even if you lose by only 0.01 seconds, it's still a loss!

Wei Shanjia slowly raised his head and looked at Shen Yan, who was also panting heavily.

His eyes were filled with doubt about the world.

"no……"

"You're a medical student at Fudan University School of Medicine."

"How can someone run 3000 meters in 8 minutes and 32 seconds?"

"Are you studying medicine, or something that drives athletes crazy?"

Shen Yan adjusted her breathing.

"Maybe it's because I did a lot of weight training, but after removing the weight, my body feels lighter."

Wei Shanjia was even more devastated after hearing this.

I've been training for the 3000 meters for so many years.

Shen Yan simply carries dozens of kilograms of kilograms while running every day.

Once you unload the burden, you can easily surpass yourself?

Is this reasonable?

Is there any justice in this world?

Wei Shanjia straightened up, pointed at Shen Yan, and his voice was filled with grief and indignation.

"Cheater!"

"You're a total cheater!"
