Chapter 199
The night was as black as ink, and the lights on the sports field stretched people's shadows out long.
Comprehensive evaluation bonus points—to college freshmen, this stuff was like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey. Who wouldn't be tempted?
Not to mention, getting to show your face in front of thousands of freshmen in the whole school—what kind of glory was that?
After a brief silence, a female voice rang out.
"Sir! I'd like to try!"
Lin Yu shot up like a rocket, straightening her back. She stared at the drill instructor with burning eyes, her face written all over with determination to win.
She deliberately adjusted her stance, sucking in her stomach to make herself look even more upright.
The instructor looked at her with some surprise and nodded.
"Commendable courage. Anyone else?"
Lin Yu turned her head, sweeping a provocative gaze toward Ye Zhenzhen, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd.
The latter had her head down, boredly plucking at the blades of grass beside her hand, seemingly turning a deaf ear to the commotion over here.
She was even secretly yawning, a teardrop forming at the corner of her eye.
Lin Yu sneered in her heart.
Who are you trying to fool?
A chance to show off like this, I don't believe you're not tempted.
Since you're playing dead, don't blame me for stepping on you to climb to the top.
Ye Zhenzhen was once again innocently caught in the crossfire.
"Instructor!"
Lin Yu shouted loudly again.
"I've practiced dance before, and I have good physical coordination. I can definitely handle the position of squad leader! I will put in many times more effort than anyone else!"
This impassioned declaration immediately won the applause of quite a few boys nearby.
The instructor was a straightforward guy and ate this right up, a trace of approval showing on his face.
"Good! Very spirited! Then I'll put you on the shortlist for now."
Lin Yu proudly raised her chin, looking like a victorious rooster.
...
The next day's training was pushed to maximum intensity.
During the break, the other students were all paralyzed under the shade of the trees, panting like dead dogs.
Only Lin Yu stood alone in the sun, still practicing the goose-step.
"Instructor, do you think I'm lifting my leg high enough?"
"Instructor, does my arm swing need to be held a bit firmer?"
She was sweating profusely, her makeup slightly ruined, but she still persevered.
That look of "I'm working so hard" and "I'm so diligent" really fooled quite a few people.
"This girl Lin Yu is really going all out."
"Yeah, looks like the squad leader position is definitely hers."
Hearing the discussions around her, Lin Yu felt secretly thrilled.
As she wiped her sweat, she used her peripheral vision to glance not far away.
Ye Zhenzhen was sitting in the shade, holding a chilled plum juice that Gu Ran had brought her.
She and Zhao Xiaoxiao were talking and laughing, looking incredibly cozy.
Lin Yu ground her back teeth.
Drink up, chat away.
Wait until I become the squad leader and stand at the center of the whole school's attention.
No matter how pretty you are, Ye Zhenzhen, you'll still have to be my foil!
Becoming the focus of everyone's attention is what's most important.
In the afternoon, it was time for the breakdown training of the goose-step.
This was the most boring and tiring event in military training.
Supporting yourself on one leg while kicking out and holding the other leg.
Standing there for minutes at a time, legs shaking so much they could sift chaff.
Many girls stood unsteadily, wobbling and falling right onto their butts.
Lin Yu held on purely by a breath of arrogance.
Her thigh muscles were trembling wildly, and her toes were starting to go numb.
But she still forced a stiff face, maintaining a precarious balance.
She felt that her current appearance must be full of a resilient yet fragile beauty.
"Stop!"
The instructor suddenly roared, interrupting everyone's torment.
Lin Yu felt a sense of relief. She put her leg down, getting ready to receive the instructor's praise.
But she saw the stern-faced instructor walk straight to the other side of the formation.
"Everyone, look over here!"
The instructor pointed at Ye Zhenzhen, who was standing in the first row, and spoke loudly.
Everyone looked over in unison.
They saw Ye Zhenzhen standing on one leg, the other leg kicked out straight, her toes pointing down, perfectly parallel to the ground.
The highly anticipated girl was currently drenched in sweat.
No way, no way, she had just secretly slacked off a bit.
How could she be discovered even for this?!
Just when she thought the instructor was about to scold her, the words that came out of his mouth brought her immense relief.
"Look at how she stands!"
Phew!
Thank goodness, he was here to praise her.
The girl gave herself a mental pat on the back.
"For freshmen, this is the standard!"
The instructor did not stint on his praise, then turned his head toward Lin Yu's side and shook his head imperceptibly.
"Some students have commendable spirit, but their movements are stiff and their core strength is too poor! Stop just trying to move yourselves, and learn more from student Ye Zhenzhen!"
Lin Yu's brain buzzed.
She didn't understand how her hard-earned training couldn't compare to a casual kick from that bitch Ye Zhenzhen.
She was obviously the one who worked the hardest, so why wasn't she being praised!
Thinking this, she looked at the girl who made her grind her teeth in hatred.
Her gaze gradually turned vicious.
"Student Ye Zhenzhen."
The instructor looked at the girl in front of him with a pleasant expression.
"I can see you have a very good foundation. Are you interested in being the female squad leader?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yu's face instantly turned deathly pale.
The eyes of the entire class focused on Ye Zhenzhen.
There was envy, jealousy, and anticipation.
Ye Zhenzhen blinked, retracted her leg, and stood firm.
She glanced at Lin Yu, gently shook her head, and spoke in a soft but firm tone.
"Reporting to the instructor, I don't want to."
"Why?" The instructor was stunned.
"I... I'm not suitable. It's better to leave the opportunity to a student who needs it."
Besides, she didn't want to fight for any attention; studying was what mattered.
"Pfft—"
Someone in the formation couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The instructor sighed, looking regretful.
Lin Yu stood frozen in place, her nails digging into her palms.
The thing she dreamed of, Ye Zhenzhen discarded like an old shoe.
This kind of indifference was ten thousand times worse than just losing the selection!

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
