The two figures stood opposite each other, jumping in place while reaching out with both hands at the same time, firmly grasping the parallel bars, and exerting force at the same time on the waist and abdomen and both arms, and the body was instantly raised.

Although it was just a small game, from the time Wu Liuyi said the bet, it became a contest between him and Xiao Chen. And once the competition began, Wu Liuyi was always used to showing a confident smile, not to encourage himself, but to mock others.

In the Seventh Steel Company, even in the Third Battalion, and even the entire 702nd Regiment, he Wu Liuyi had the whole self-confidence.

There is no bar raising or unhappiness that cannot be solved with one competition, if there is, then use two different competition subjects. As long as it is on this training ground, Wu Liuyi can let others choose.

Wu Liuyi knew Xiao Chen's details, and he knew very well that Xiao Chen would definitely not be able to win against him at this stage.

However, from the moment he jumped on the parallel bars, Wu Liuyi's eyes were no longer strong or weak. Only who can survive to the end, only this criterion, can measure the victory and defeat in this square inch.

Wu Liuyi's calm Xiao Chen can't learn, or rather, he can't learn it for the time being. That kind of calmness comes from persistent training and frequent victories, neither of which Xiao Chen has, although he has this self-confidence, but only temporarily. Therefore, in the face of Wu Liuyi's calm smile, Xiao Chen's performance can only be clear and calm, and it must be clear and calm.

Whether you want to emulate Wu Liuyi's calmness, or are shaken by his smile, you will inevitably share some of your thoughts.

When you are still a weakling, the only thing you can rely on may be the belief in perseverance.

Belief is such a thing, Xiao Chen thinks he has it. Even if he didn't, he would have hinted in his head that he had. In other words, all distractions are cleared, and all that is left in your mind is to hold on, no matter what wins or loses, and no matter who is on the other side.

Just think of yourself as a piece of bacon hanging on the beam of the house, no matter whether it is smoky or misty below, whether it is old or rotten, as long as you hang there quietly, and the iron hook does not melt, your piece of meat will not hang down.

Around the parallel bars, eight people were divided into three groups, except for Shi Jin, who stood in the middle to time, and the others each supported the people at both ends of the parallel bars.

Perhaps out of sympathy for Xiao Chen, who had already been judged to be a weakling, there were five people standing on his side - four recruits, and Gan Xiaoning.

Although after a day of familiarization, the relationship between the recruits and veterans of the third class has deepened a lot. But during the training, the four recruits still drew a line for themselves in their hearts. The significance of their drawing of this line is to make themselves aware of the gap with the veterans. No one thinks they can't cross this line, it's just that it takes time - this is the tacit understanding of the White Iron Army.

Gan Xiaoning is standing here entirely because he wants to see if Wu Liuyi will lose.

For this guy whose character is simply like a stubborn donkey, who regards honor and rules as life, Gan Xiaoning really feels that he has been in friendship with him for a year, and he has not had a deep friendship with Bai Tiejun for a day.

Therefore, he hoped that Xiao Chen, the first of the recruit company, could not frustrate the spirit of the deputy of the Wu squad.

I don't want to sit and watch the dragon fight, I just want to see what kind of expression Wu Ban has after he loses.

Under the big sun, eight people quietly looked at the two people on the parallel bars.

Ten minutes have passed, Wu Liuyi is as stable as Mount Tai, he is like a figure cast on the parallel bars, the wind does not move, the sun does not move. Except for the occasional blink of his eyelids because of sourness, he has maintained that posture and smile the rest of the time.

In comparison, Xiao Chen looked a little embarrassed.

Or, let's call it embarrassment.

The thin body had long been swaying with the trembling of his arms, and the fine sweat gathered from his hair into a stream, and then met on his forehead in batches, colliding with beads of sweat the size of beans. Because of gravity, these beads of sweat flowed down Xiao Chen's cheeks regardless of consumption, and finally came to his chin together, shaking out a small crystal droplet with the wind.

The little droplets swayed and swayed, and when it shook out of its jaw-unretractable size, it fell straight down, and finally disappeared into the camouflage short sleeves that were completely occupied by its kindred.

Sweat had already blinded Xiao Chen's eyes.

It even caused him great trouble in the senses.

He couldn't keep a calm smile like Wu Liuyi and look at his embarrassed appearance with his eyes open, in order to prevent his eyes from being eroded by sweat with high salt and high bacterial content, he could only close his eyes tightly, and even focus on the circle of muscles in the corners of his eyes. Only in this way can I find a psychological balance between persistence and discomfort.

This is destined to be a difficult confrontation, and the opponent against him is actually himself.

This feeling is not unheard of, when he took the initiative to accept the training of Xiao Gao of the Armed Forces Department, in order to enhance his physical fitness, he conducted a lot of training. None of those training processes were easier than they are now.

It was because of the training two months ahead of schedule that he was able to do better than others in the recruit company. Now that he has come to the Seventh Company of Steel, he doesn't want to be beaten back to his original form. Either you can continue to insist on that kind of training and make yourself progress faster than others, or you can only give up your feelings and dreams, give up the Seventh Steel Company, go to a so-called government unit or official class, and mix comfortably for a while.

Yes, it can only be for a while, not for a lifetime.

As a soldier, where can there be a lifelong mix. Just come to a competition or assessment casually, and those Mr. Nan Guo will have nothing to hide.

Leaving the army in a gloomy manner, that was not what he Xiao Chen wanted. Even, he definitely didn't want to leave the Seventh Company of Steel in disgrace, let alone be the worst soldier of the Seventh Company.

He also carries the expectations of Gao Cheng on his shoulders.

My arm was a little sore, but it was nothing. Endure hardship once, make progress once; Endure hardships every day and make progress every day. Since you have come here, why can't you be like the more than 4,000 soldiers of the Seventh Company of Steel, and remove all the bits and pieces of faults and laziness on your body, even your weakness.

Thinking about it, Xiao Chen felt a violent roar in his ears.

The roar poured into my head, and it seemed to block out all the feelings of the outside world, leaving only the ultimate silence and the ultimate emptiness.

Xiao Chen didn't know what he could do next, maybe he could only straighten his arms, straighten his chest, straighten his body, and treat himself completely as a piece of bacon, hanging on this parallel bar, scraping out fat and retaining the essence in the smoke of water and fire.

So, Xiao Chen felt that he had done it. The whole person became a piece of bacon, stiff and straight, hanging there.
