Father, you've been drafted four times already, please spare us!

"Tsk tsk, 1 minute 33 seconds, hehe, Chen Nian is going to have some pressure."

The company commander was still a cheerful person, looking just like a bystander watching a melon.

"Heh, pressure? This time of year can't put any pressure on me!"

Chen Nian stretched and turned to Wang Shifeng, replying in return.

Xie Fei, panting heavily, strode over. Reaching Chen Nian, he immediately forced himself to keep his breathing steady, then said in a calm tone:

"You didn't perform well today, but you're still a rookie, so I'll give you a few seconds!"

Xie Fei's words were arrogant, but Chen Nian found them somewhat amusing.

Others might not be able to tell, but in the eyes of a master like Chen Nian, Xie Fei had clearly done his best, yet he was still being stubborn.

Chen Nian strode up to Xie Fei and patted him on the shoulder:

"If your voice is trembling, stop pretending!"

Xie Fei's face stiffened, and he reached out and shoved Chen Nian:

"You don't know anything! It's your turn. If you're scared, just lower your head and admit your mistake. The old squad leader won't make things difficult for you!"

Chen Nian pursed his lips, said nothing, and went to the 400-meter obstacle course.

"Squad Leader Xie, you start the timer!"

"Please don't take care of me!"

Xie Fei snatched the stopwatch from another squad leader and was about to walk forward when the other man stopped him and gently pressed a button on the stopwatch. At that moment, the stopwatch started running.

Xie Fei was stunned when he saw this scene.

"I, Xie Fei, can win or lose. I can't use such methods against a new recruit!"

After saying that, Xie Fei reset the stopwatch.

The man was also stunned for a moment, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Xie Fei did nothing wrong, but it's also... hard to judge.

"Ready!"

"Walk!"

Xie Fei gave the command, and Chen Nian moved.

Upstairs, the battlefield commentator, using binoculars, began explaining to Lao Ge:

"Chen Nian's got some skills. Look at his movements, damn, they're so smooth!"

"Oh, tactical maneuvers can be done like that?"

"No way, that's ridiculous! This kid's like a gust of wind!"

"Wait, what's he doing? He actually gave Xie Fei a peace sign!"

"It's over, it's over! Xie Fei is completely finished. He's going to get his Dao Heart shattered by Chen Nian this time!"

"Good heavens, one minute and 32 seconds! My god, this kid is definitely doing this on purpose! He's just trying to disgust Xie Fei!"

"I never would have guessed, this kid's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"

The company commander was an excellent battlefield commentator; he even explained Chen Nian's every move and his mental journey to Lao Ge.

"Alright, can you shut your mouth? You're a grown man, why is your mouth so gossipy!"

Old Ge couldn't stand the company commander's nagging anymore.

"No, Chen Nian is definitely up to no good!"

"See? He's going to give you a big one later!"

The company commander seemed to have guessed what Chen Nian was thinking.

"Huff, huff!"

"Squad Leader Xie, what were my grades?"

Chen Nian was panting heavily, looking extremely disheveled.

"1 minute 32 seconds!"

Xie Feichen's face was very ugly!

Damn it, how come he had a second more than me?

What incredible luck this kid has!

"Oh, Sergeant Xie, so you mean I won?"

Chen Nian was still panting heavily.

"You, you won!"

Upon hearing Xie Feichen personally admit that Chen Nian had won, the new recruits led by Wang Shifeng were as excited as if it were New Year's Day.

"Brother Nian, you're awesome!"

"Brother Nian is awesome!"

"Brother Nian, I'll wash your feet tonight!"

"Brother Nian, you've really made us proud!"

Initially, Chen Nian planned to run a time of 1 minute and 25 seconds to overwhelmingly show Xie Fei that they were not in the same league.

But then he thought about it again. He, Wang Shifeng, and Lao Ge were planning something big. If they revealed their strength now, it would be bad if things didn't work out.

Therefore, Chen Nian decided to just take it to the limit of one second and disgust Xie Fei.

The new recruits Xie Fei led all hung their heads, like wilted eggplants, and fell silent, no longer shouting or yelling.

His own squad leader got humiliated by a new recruit. Where can he even seek justice? He'll have to keep his head down in basic training from now on.

"Squad Leader Xie, shall we continue the competition? If not, I'm going back to my squad. I just heard someone offer to wash my feet, and I'm afraid I'll miss my chance if I wait any longer!"

Chen Nian smirked and sidled up to Xie Fei, who looked at him with a face full of rage.

"Why not compete?!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian's eyes lit up. "OK, family, mission accomplished!"

He wanted to use his achievements to step over Xie Fei and rise to the top. Only in this way could he make the new recruits respect him and obey him.

Now, Chen Nian is a little scared, afraid that Xie Fei will stop competing!

Fortunately, Xie Fei has a backbone; even after losing a match, he didn't give up.

"Squad Leader Xie, what are we competing in next?"

"Fight!"

Before Xie Fei could speak, the class monitor who had been fiddling with the stopwatch stepped forward.

"Class monitor, who are you...?"

"I am Jin Shun, the squad leader of the second row, third class."

"Hey Sergeant Jin, alright then, let's have a hand-to-hand combat contest!"

Seeing that Chen Nian had agreed, Wang Shifeng reached out and grabbed Chen Nian's arm.

"Sergeant, Jin Shun, well, how should I put it, he likes to go to extremes in fights, so you'd better be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian thought, "So what if he got a dirty beating? It's no big deal. In terms of dirtiness, he's not as dirty as me."

"Squad Leader Shifeng, don't worry, I'll be careful!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Shifeng suddenly paused, then lowered his voice and said:

"What I mean is, old squad leader, you have to go easy on him. I'm afraid you might lose your temper and cripple him!"

Wang Shifeng's voice was very soft, so soft that it could be heard clearly throughout the entire training ground.

"Wang Shifeng, what the hell do you mean?!"

Jin Shun was a bit stunned. The fight hadn't even started yet, and Wang Shifeng was already saying this. What did he mean? Did he mean Chen Nian was guaranteed to win?

That's incredibly disrespectful!

"Jin Shun, I'm doing this for your own good. You don't know, Chen Nian, he..."

"Shut up!"

Upstairs, the company commander looked down at the crowd, somewhat annoyed:

"What are you whispering about? If you want to compete, then compete; otherwise, go back to sleep!"

"Stop dawdling! Can't you act like a soldier?"

Old Ge glanced at him sideways:

"Why don't you go down and listen?"

The company commander's eyes lit up:

"Great idea!"

"No way, you're actually going!"

On the training ground.

"Alright, enough talk, let's begin!"

Jin Shun got into position, while Chen Nian remained relaxed, without any particular starting stance, just standing there blankly.

"start!"

At Wang Shifeng's command, Jin Shun took the lead and launched a straight attack straight at Chen Nian's chest.

Chen Nian seemed to be frozen in place, completely still.

"Bang!"

Jin Shun's kick was very solid, but it landed squarely on Chen Nian's chest. Chen Nian didn't budge at all; instead, Jin Shun was knocked back a few steps.

"Old stock!"

Wang Shifeng shouted loudly.

Chen Nian patted the dust off his chest.

"Hehe, Shifeng, I didn't dodge or defend against this kick, just to show Squad Leader Jinshun that I can take a frontal kick head-on without any problems. He should run away now, otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Nian roared like thunder.
