Chapter 416: Chapter 191 Just This (Third Update)
Have yourself run 5 laps, 10 kilometers?
A 150-minute time limit.
“If you do not finish… then for every minute over, I add one lap,” Wang Cheng pointed at Mu Fan and said.
Since he was a friend, he ought to do some things for a friend, right?
Wang Nuonuo still occasionally had nightmares about running alone in a deserted ruin, chased by a tide-like swarm of Star Beasts.
Ten kilometers, a figure Wang Nuonuo, who had never suffered indignities, had never even considered.
Now, her military training instructor casually mentioned this in front of so many people, completely disregarding that she had just been appointed team leader.
“Instructor, isn’t this a bit too much to ask?”
Wang Nuonuo angrily retorted.
“Too much to ask? I don’t think so. I will apply to my superior regarding this punishment,” Wang Cheng spread his hands.
“No need to apply, I approve.”
A calm voice arose from the side.
A military officer, a lieutenant colonel, slowly approached; he had noticed the commotion here but did not expect to arrive and immediately hear such an intriguing matter.
But he did not think Wang Cheng was being excessive.
In the military, you would never get such a pleasant tone; they would not reduce the training intensity just because you are a woman, nor would they offer you a tone of negotiation.
If you err, accept your punishment—just that simple.
Thus, the lieutenant colonel walked up and spoke outright.
“Lieutenant Colonel Cheng!” Wang Cheng saluted and respectfully called.
“Hmm, Captain Wang Cheng, I approve your punishment measure,” Lieutenant Colonel Cheng replied with a salute.
The formation truly became lively now.
To have drawn a lieutenant colonel here, even if this kid’s military training instructor hurried over, he would likely not escape punishment.
Their military training instructor, that scheming boy—Wang Cheng—had succeeded!
Things were really getting interesting now; the boys, eager for chaos, looked at Mu Fan with shared hostility.
You actually caused their goddess to be punished, damn it!
Wang Nuonuo’s eyes began to redden, but the stubborn girl absolutely would not allow herself to show a vulnerable side in front of so many people.
Clenching her jaw muscles, she was ready to speak up to accept the punishment.
At that moment, under everyone’s gaze, Mu Fan stepped forward two steps, his gaze calm as he stared at Wang Cheng.
“Instructor, this is my fault, so let me run for her.”
A smile appeared on Wang Cheng’s face, then he coldly said, “No.”
“Every man bears the consequences of his actions, the number of laps doubled, added to me, let her continue with the training.”
“I already said no…” Wang Cheng was about to explode.
“Yes!” A decisive reply interrupted Wang Cheng, making him look puzzled.
“Sir?”
“A freshman has just proposed to take the punishment for someone else, why not agree, especially since the conditions haven’t been fulfilled yet?” Lieutenant Colonel Cheng looked at Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng’s eyes brightened gradually, the implication was clear, he still had the authority.
He then smirked looking at Mu Fan, “Five laps doubled, added to you, time unchanged, won’t finish in two hours, you’ll face military training punishment, which will follow your records for four years.”
This gave some people goosebumps, this matter was escalating, 25 laps, 50 kilometers, 2 hours!!
The previous was normal, but suddenly adding 10 kilometers directly made it a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, could a freshman withstand that?
Just one minute late, and it would be over.
Agree, or not?
Wang Cheng looked at Mu Fan thoughtfully, 25 km/h, a 50-kilometer run without load, this was the physique of a professional athlete, it’s also one of the devilish training in the special forces in the military.
Hopefully, this kid would know better and back down; he just wanted to establish authority.
As Wang Nuonuo frantically shook her head, amid the girls’ mixed looks of envy, jealousy, curiosity, under the boys’ almost unanimously angry glares, under the scrutinizing gaze of Wang Cheng and Lieutenant Colonel Cheng, Mu Fan finally opened his mouth and spit out…two words.
“Possible.”
Possible!?
He actually said possible!
Is he crazy?
The two hundred members of the first Ship formation were restless.
Even the nobles, who always maintained a composed expression, were astonished this time.
Does this kid really not have a sickness?
“Mu Fan, what are you doing? I don’t need your help, I can finish the run!” Wang Nuonuo angrily yelled at Mu Fan, wondering how he could be so selfish as to make decisions for her.
“Are you sure?” Wang Cheng did not pay attention to Wang Nuonuo’s angry shouting.
“Yes.” Mu Fan nodded and then turned to the beautiful girl nearby with a reassuring smile.
“You…” Seeing Mu Fan’s encouraging and utterly confident smile, Wang Nuonuo, like an angry lioness, gradually calmed down, pouting and turning her head away, not wanting to deal with Mu Fan.
“If that’s the case, let’s begin. You have 120 minutes, if you don’t finish within the countdown, it counts as a failure. Your laps will be monitored for accuracy, you can trust the fairness.”
“It doesn’t need to be that complicated.”
Mu Fan had just walked past Wang Cheng, twisted his neck and arms, then bent one knee, leaning forward with both hands placed on the ground.
Instructor Xu Jiang, when I get back, I will make up for the training.
Even now, Mu Fan felt guilty towards Xu Jiang.
Trying to clear his mind had resulted in a mess.
“The timing begins.”
“Then I’m off.”
Mu Fan’s voice was still calm, but at this moment, his entire spirit changed from that calmness to something like a sharp Sword, unseen to them, the muscles under his training clothes from his arms to his legs swelled almost instantly as he finished speaking.
Bang!
One leg struck the ground.
His entire body burst forward like a cheetah.
Thump,
Thump,
Thump!
Just three steps, yet these steps resonated like a bell, deeply ringing in everyone’s hearts.
His steps are so heavy!
Why mention three steps? Because after those steps, the speed of Mu Fan’s alternating legs had already dazzled them.
Alternating, alternating.
His swift figure swept past them, and several young men discussing instantly shut their mouths.
Because the intense Wind directly poured into their throats.
“Is he, he, he doing a sprint?”
“Courting Death! It’s manly, but so stupid; one lap is 2 kilometers, how long can he sprint?”
“Damn, just runs like a Mad Dog at the drop of a hat.”
A delicately-featured girl pursed her lips, watching Mu Fan’s figure, her eyes wide.
“Eve, you look so shocked.”
“He really ran, fifty kilometers, oh my God!” Golden curls could not hide her doll-like beautiful face.
“What else could he do if not run? But looking at him, he doesn’t seem like he belongs in our circle, so just watch and that’s it.”
“He really is incredible, such a fast speed, I’ve never seen it before.”
The girl who had spoken earlier rolled her eyes helplessly, thinking that only a brute who equips himself with muscles belonged in your kind of wealthy circle.
Right, in these elite girls’ eyes, Mu Fan’s behavior was somewhat laughable, the character of a brute was an apt description.
Moreover, everyone knew that sprinting at the start when running was a major taboo, let alone a nearly mythical fifty kilometers!
He could maintain this speed only if he were a robot.
Eve with her light golden hair shook her head yet admiringly said, “If he can keep it up, I’ll ask him for an autograph.”
3 seconds later, Mu Fan’s figure, like the Wind, had already swept past the first formation!
All the swirling discussions behind him were left far behind in his mind.
The stubborn figure of Wang Nuonuo was still imprinted in his mind, Mu Fan’s indifferent eyes drooped, his muscles suddenly expanded, ignoring the exclamations that came once again.
Running?
Then let’s run.
Just fifty kilometers… that’s all.
