strength test

Under the leadership of the officer, Li Dao and his group quickly arrived at a ring.

After approaching the ring, everyone could clearly see the specific situation on the ring.

In the middle of the ring, there are many stone locks of different sizes.

It seems that the military camp should use strength to test a person's physical fitness.

There were two officers in the ring at the same time.

An officer looks polite and has a book and a brush in his hand to record the achievements of different people.

The other officer is a tall and powerful one who is responsible for protecting people who lift weights. He is specially used to prevent some guys who don't know their own abilities from overstepping their limits and injuring themselves by lifting weights.

The officer leading Li Dao and others walked onto the ring and said something in the ear of the recording officer. The recording officer looked at Li Dao and his group and nodded.

Soon, the leading officer jumped off the ring, came to the crowd and said, "Okay, this group of people have been tested, and the next group will be yours. I hope you can perform well."

Hearing this, a group of people who were originally full of confidence felt a little nervous inexplicably.

This is normal. Some things are fine for entertainment, but once it turns into a serious exam, everyone will be nervous.

The leading officer glanced at the many people lined up in front of him and continued, "I also know that you will be nervous, so if you are bored, you can take a look at the ring and relax first."

As soon as they heard this, the crowd dispersed and everyone ran to the edge of the ring.

Li Dao was also curious about the test in the ring, so he walked over together.

When I came to the edge of the ring, I saw a person on the stage doing a test.

I saw the man picking up a huge stone burden and struggling to lift it. His entire face was flushed red from suppressing it, and all the veins on his arms and forehead were swollen. It looked like he was under great pressure.

On the side, the officer responsible for protection stood calmly, but Li Dao noticed that the other person seemed very casual, but he was always ready for rescue.

Five seconds later, the tester dropped the stone, which hit the ring with a muffled sound.

The man looked back at the recorder. When the recorder nodded, the man breathed a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied smile. It seemed that he had passed the test.

Seeing the man about to step down, a voice suddenly came from the audience.

"Continue to challenge the next one."

"Yes, keep challenging. You have passed the test anyway."

"The better your grades, the better the military camp you will be assigned to. Let's continue."

"..."

The people below all spoke up to remind him.

A flash of heartbeat flashed in the eyes of the man on the ring. He had already succeeded anyway, so why not give it a try.

He looked at the scorer and raised his hand and said, "Can I continue the challenge?"

The scorer said bluntly, "If you succeed in the challenge, you can continue to challenge the next stone burden. If the challenge is successful, the results will still count. If you want to challenge, then continue."

The man nodded and came to the third stone burden.

Under everyone's gaze, he took a deep breath and placed his hands on the stone burden.

"Wake it up for me!"

The man pulled hard, and the entire stone burden was lifted up by him.

Just when he was about to lift the stone burden above his head, he realized that he had overestimated himself.

The whole person's steps were unsteady and he fell directly behind him along with the stone burden.

Soon, a big hand stretched out from one side to help grab the stone burden, and the man survived.

"Thanks."

After the man stood firm, he quickly said to the officer beside him.

"It's okay, just be careful next time."

The officer came forward with one hand holding the stone burden and put it back to its original position, obviously much more relaxed than the man.

The man failed to lift the stone burden and felt ashamed, so he stepped down from the stage in despair.

Soon, another person walked up and started testing.

In the audience, Li Dao also learned some things about this weightlifting test from the comments of people around him.

In the arena, there are five stone burdens.

They are: one hundred and fifty catties, two hundred catties, two hundred and fifty catties, three hundred catties, and the last five hundred catties.

Among them, those who can lift the first stone burden are already qualified, but they can only join the most ordinary army as the most ordinary soldiers.

The further you go, the better your grades will be, the better your treatment will be, and you may even be able to enter the elite camp under Zhenbei Hou Chong.

Especially the last five hundred kilograms of stone load, whoever can lift it will basically be assigned to the best military camp and enjoy the best benefits.

Of course, the prerequisite is to achieve this with pure physical strength and no use of true energy.

An average adult man in this world can lift a hundred kilograms of objects, so being able to lift a hundred and fifty kilograms of objects is considered rare among ordinary people.

This shows how difficult it is to become a soldier under Zhenyuan Hou Sheng.

Moreover, the lift here is to raise the hands straight above the head, which increases the requirements on oneself.

But for Li Dao, these are just a process.

Standing under the ring, Li Dao watched people come on stage one after another.

It was found that most of the people who could come had stronger physical fitness than the average person.

Among ten people, more than half can successfully lift the first stone burden.

As for the second stone burden, only one or two out of ten people can lift it.

And the third one is even less so, maybe one of dozens of people can try to lift it.

No one has tried the fourth one yet, let alone the fifth one, which is almost purely for decoration.

While Li Dao was thinking, a burst of cheers suddenly came from his ears.

He looked toward the arena and saw a strong man successfully lifting the fourth stone burden. No wonder it caused people in the audience to exclaim.

Bang!

Five seconds later, the stone load fell to the ground. Regardless of his loose arms, the strong man looked back at the recorder with an expectant expression.

The recorder chuckled and said, "Congratulations, you succeeded in the challenge and passed the test."

The strong man looked happy, and the people in the audience also clapped their hands and applauded.

"Let's challenge the fifth stone burden."

Suddenly, someone shouted from the audience.

Immediately, many people began to agree and asked the strong man to try the fifth stone burden.

The strong man glanced at his weak arm, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I know myself. Even in my best condition, I won't be able to succeed in the challenge."

After saying that, he walked off the stage.

After he stepped down from the stage, many people gathered around the sturdy man, and each one of them gave compliments and congratulations.

Although after picking up the fourth stone pole and entering the military camp, he started as an ordinary soldier at the bottom, but it was obviously easier for a strong man to be promoted through meritorious service, so naturally many people would follow his lead and approach him.

Subsequently, one after another people came to the ring for testing.

Wait until it's Li Dao's team's turn.

The group of people came to the side of the ring and lined up.

Before, they were shouting and cheering while watching others enter the ring, but when it was their turn, they became quiet for a moment.

Under the urging of the recorder, Brother Shenxu took the lead in taking the stage.

He might be a little nervous and stood there at a loss for a while.

"If you want to challenge that stone burden, pick it yourself."

The recorder reminded from the side.

"oh oh."

After coming back to his senses, Brother Shenxu pointed at the first stone basket and said, "I choose this one."

"Shh!"

Suddenly, several people in the team booed.

Brother Shenxu was very self-aware and ignored the boos from these people.

He came to the first stone burden, took a deep breath, and grabbed the stone burden.

"Wake it up for me!"

Brother Shenxu worked hard and lifted the stone pole directly above his head. He succeeded in one go and only needed to hold on for five seconds.

When everyone in the audience saw this scene, they thought it was settled.

But when he was about to last for the fourth second, Brother Shenxu's expression suddenly changed.

Plop!

In everyone's surprised eyes, Brother Shenxu fell to his knees and threw away the stone burden in his hand.

The recorder saw this and said bluntly, "Challenge failed, next one."

Brother Shenxu's face turned pale instantly. He only had one chance, and he obviously missed it.

He could only walk down the ring in disgrace, muttering, "Damn it, it's all because that bitch was too greedy last night."

Originally, if the first person in a team successfully challenged, it would bring great morale to the people behind.

But if it fails, the people behind will feel greater pressure.

Li Dao's team took to the stage one after another.

But as time went by, everyone discovered that this team seemed to be of poor quality.

In other teams, seven or eight out of ten people can successfully challenge, but Li Dao's team only has four or five, which is more than a little bit behind.

"These guys."

The leading officers in the audience could not help but darken their faces.

At this time, an officer came over. It was none other than another officer who had made a bet with him.

"Hahaha, you are definitely defeated now. Not only does my team have a high passing rate, but it also has a strong man who can lift the fourth stone burden."

The officer said cheerfully.

After hearing this, the leading officer's face became even darker, but he still said stubbornly, "Huh, my people haven't finished testing yet. Although I lost in terms of numbers, what if we have someone who can lift the fifth stone?" Where is the bearer?"

Seeing that the guy in front of him was still unwilling to give up, another officer immediately said bluntly, "Hahaha, it's so easy for you to lift the fifth stone burden."

"I'll put my words here today. If there is someone in your team who can lift the fifth stone burden, not only will I lose this bet, but I will double the bet for you."

"But if it doesn't show up, how about you double the invitation to me."

The leading officer's face turned even darker. This guy was so damn greedy. If ten times were not enough, he had to give ten more times.

However, he had already spoken out his words just now. If he didn't inquire now, it would be a slap in the face.

After hesitating for a moment, the leading officer gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you."

The other officer was also surprised when he saw this, "Do you really dare to bet?"

The officer leading the team snorted coldly, "We have been on the battlefield so many times. Why don't we dare to do this? It's just twenty meals. Cutting off a few more ears on the battlefield is enough."

"Just be tough."

"I'm not being harsh. My left eye twitched when I went out today. This means good things are about to happen."

"You are just deceiving yourself."

"Then I lied to myself today, what can you do?"

"..."

Here, Li Dao's team took the stage one after another.

Because each performance was unsatisfactory, everyone below the ring was bored.

Soon, the man in front of Li Dao also walked onto the ring.

A few minutes later.

"Challenge failed, next one."

Another challenge failed. Not far away, the officer leading Li Dao's group looked livid. This was already the first time.

Seeing this scene, another officer on the side laughed and said, "I said there is only one person left. You don't expect him to be able to lift the fifth stone load, right?"

"If you want to talk about appearance, this one of yours is indeed the best among all the heroes, but when it comes to strength, you should save it."

Because compared to the person who failed in the previous challenge, Li Dao looked smaller on the surface. Compared with most of the people around the ring, except for his height, he showed a harmless look in all other aspects.

The leading officer didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

Under the watchful eyes of many people, Li Dao gradually walked onto the stage.

Because many people's grades were not very satisfactory, no one was rude.

When the people in the audience saw the people on stage, they all felt bored.

Because you don't need to look at it to know that this person is going to challenge the first stone burden, and he is still the kind of person who cannot succeed in the challenge.

The recorder glanced at Li Dao, then lowered his head and prepared to record, while pointing at the first stone burden, "Just go ahead and try to lift it."

"Can I change it?"

"Um?"

The recorder raised his head with a surprised expression, "You don't want to challenge the first stone burden?"

"Do you know that you only have one chance to challenge, and if you fail, you can't do it again."

And many people in the audience also heard Li Dao's words.

Many people found it funny.

Some people couldn't help shouting, "Let him challenge, we want to see it too."

"When did the military camp become a place for pretty boys like this? If it doesn't work, just get off the stage and go home to look for milk."

"Boy, my third uncle's thirteen-year-old sister-in-law is stronger than you. Come down quickly and don't waste everyone's time."

No matter where you are, there are always people who look down on others and praise others, especially in military camps where strength speaks for itself.

Li Dao ignored the voice below and said bluntly, "I understand, but I still insist."

Seeing that the recorder couldn't be persuaded, he didn't say anything. He was just a person responsible for recording.

"Then go and change."

After speaking, he glanced at the officer responsible for protection not far away.

It means: If there is a job coming, stop standing still.

The officer in charge of protection nodded and walked towards the second stone load.

However, Li Dao's walking did not stop in front of the second stone burden, but continued walking back.

This scene stunned everyone present.

They all have only one thought: What does this guy want to do?

Is it possible that the second one is not difficult enough and you want to directly challenge the third one?

Doesn't he find it embarrassing?

However, when they arrived at the third stone burden, they found that the man on the stage still did not stop.

In the end, I didn't even glance at the fourth stone burden.

We came directly to the fifth stone burden, which was the last and heaviest stone burden.

A stone load weighing five hundred kilograms.

"Do you want to challenge this stone burden?"

At this time, even the officer who had been silent and was responsible for protection couldn't help but speak.

"is it not OK?"

"Okay, but..."

At this point, the officer said bluntly, "If it were the fourth stone burden, I could still protect you, but for this fifth stone burden, I can only prevent you from being too seriously injured."

At this point, he paused and continued, "Of course, the premise is that you can pick it up first."
