With Tianqi's order, nearly 100 young people who participated in the competition accelerated and ran, and suddenly, a puff of dust rose around the entire square. The villagers who watched the battle in the center of the square www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion also hurriedly used their hands to fan away the dust.
Tianqi's gaze scanned the crowd faintly, as if to find out the good seedlings in the crowd who seemed to have good potential, and the flying dust, when they were about to approach her, actually drifted away on their own as if they had encountered a gust of wind.
Hua Yu did not run to the front of the line after the start, but slowed down and ran steadily at the back of the line.
"Hua Yu, you're not so slow. Yue Yue shook her fat and ran to Hua Yu's side, "If you don't run to the front, how can you attract the attention of the examiner?"
"Hmph, Yue Yue, the more you love it, the bigger your belly is, why don't your brains grow?" Hua Yu pouted: "Didn't you listen to what the female knight said just now, this long-distance run is only the first item of assessment and selection, and such a long-distance run, it is impossible to say that it is not hard, now run so fast, run to the front, even if you can get a good ranking, but it is just a waste of your physical strength, we just need to maintain good physical strength, and complete the thirty laps in the second half of the race." ”
"You seem to have a point. Yue Yue muttered quietly as he ran, he seemed to have reacted, and it didn't seem to be useful to compete for the first and second place in this moment.
"Hmph, my brain is not bright, I can still stand here? Hurry up and run, it's a waste of energy to talk. Hua Yu's vicious words immediately made Yue Yue shut her mouth and ran with Hua Yu.
Hua Yu was an orphan who was found in the forest by the hunters of this small village during a hunt, and he didn't know the news of his parents, and the only thing left in the swaddling clothes was the round ball that had been left in Hua Yu's house.
After discovering Hua Yu, the people in the village kept Hua Yu in Yue Yue's house, but when Hua Yu got older, he lived in a small bamboo house not far from Yue Yue's house.
Yue Yue's mother is an official soldier of the principality, but his father is a well-known drunkard in this village, often drunk and make trouble, after a long time, Yue Yue's parents gradually broke off contact, although they are still husband and wife in name, but Yue Yue's mother has never come to this small village again.
On the other hand, Hua Yu, although he is still young, but his biggest hobby is hunting, he often goes to the mountains and forests near the village alone, and every time he comes back, he smells of blood, and the children in the village are respectful of him, but Yue Yue has always had a good relationship with him.
As time went on, most of the runners had already completed half of the race, but fortunately, no one had quit early because they couldn't bear the physical load, but the distance between the runners had been widened, and there was no longer a large group of dozens of people gathered together like at the beginning of the race.
As Hua Yu said, the fastest people who started running at the beginning, after half a lap, their physical strength was obviously a little weaker, and they were gradually surpassed by the runners who ran at a constant speed behind them. Hua Yu and Yue Yue also gradually ran to the middle of the group.
"Hua Yu, you, you can do it. Yue Yue spit out the saliva in his mouth, and said indistinctly, his face was already flushed at the moment, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his cheeks.
Hua Yu didn't speak, just glanced at him, who was familiar with long-distance running, knew very well that if he spoke at this time, the breathing rate that he had adjusted before would be interrupted. This breath is messy, and if you want to adjust it later, it will take a lot of physical strength.
Some of the parents who were waiting on the side even went home and scooped some water with a wooden ladle to let their children drink, but when they received it, most of it leaked outside, and some didn't even drink it, and poured a scoop of water directly over their heads.
On the high platform, Tianqi looked at all this coldly, but Noel on the side saw this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, these people who drank water halfway, even if they ran down, there was no need to participate in the next game.
Soon, by the time the long-distance run reached more than 20 laps, many people in the field could no longer use "running" to describe their current state. All of them were flushed, sweat rolled down their cheeks, and they fell to the yellow earth to form small black spots, and their bodies mechanically dragged their feet forward. His chest rose and fell violently like a bellows.
"The overall quality of this year's group of people is really poor. On the high platform, Tianqi, who had been watching the game in silence, finally spoke.
In this state, it is estimated that many people can't run down, and these discerning people can see it.
However, not everyone is like this, and Hua Yu is one of them.
Although the physical exertion is very high, Hua Yu surprisingly does not sweat much, if someone can look closely, they will find that Hua Yu, from the chest rise and fall caused by breathing, to the swing of his arms and legs, almost all follow a pattern, and his speed is also maintained as when he first started.
"Plop!"
With a muffled sound, Yue Yue finally became the first person who couldn't support it, and fell to the ground suddenly, gasping for breath, because he was also sweating a lot on his body, as soon as he fell, a lot of dust was directly contaminated on him.
At this time, there were also a few teenagers running past him, just glancing at Yue Yue, even in normal times, they didn't necessarily reach out to pull him, not to mention now that everyone's physical strength was almost at the limit.
Yue Yue fell in front of Hua Yu for nearly a circle, and in this way, Hua Yu came over half a circle, and naturally saw Yue Yue who fell to the ground panting for breath.
"Seven more laps. Hua Yu's gaze swept over the entire runway, and now there are only a dozen people who can still maintain a normal running state and continue to race, and the others are not much better than Yue Yuelai, most of them are relying on their own willpower to support themselves.
Looking at Yue Yue, Hua Yu gritted her teeth violently, and suddenly slowed down and stopped beside Yue Yue.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't stop, as soon as it stops, Hua Yu felt a sense of dizziness instantly emerge from her brain, Hua Yu secretly screamed that it was not good, and it suddenly stopped when she ran a long distance, which was a huge burden on the whole body.
Hua Yu bit the tip of her tongue violently, dispelling the dizziness a little, and reached out to pull Yue Yue, but when he pulled it, not only did he not pull Yue Yue up, but the strength almost dragged him down.
"Hurry up, Yue Yue, aren't you running away?" Hua Yu scolded while panting, "******, who told me yesterday that he wanted to be a knight?
However, no matter what Hua Yu said, Yue Yue's body collapsed to the ground like mud as if all the bones had been removed, and if it weren't for the fact that his chest was still undulating, it would not even be the same as a dead person.
"Get up for me, you fat pig!" Hua Yu gritted her teeth and grabbed Yue Yue's arm with both hands to pull him up.
Yue Yue usually hates others calling him a fat pig, but even if Hua Yu provokes him like this, he still can't get up.
"Yue Yue, do you still want to see your mother!" Hua Yu's voice suddenly sounded in Yue Yue's ears.
The strange thing is that Yue Yue, who didn't move no matter how Hua Yu tried before, struggled twice with her body when she heard this, and slowly got up from the ground.
"Good job, brother!" Hua Yu patted the dust on Yue Yue's body, although Yue Yue had already gotten up, his trembling legs still showed that his body had reached its limit.
"Can you keep going? Seven laps to go. Hua Yu looked at Yue Yue's state, and he was a little unbearable in his heart, he knew that Yue Yue was like this, and he couldn't be sure if he could finish running, even if he finished running, it was estimated that he would have no role in the later assessment.
"I can do it, I, I'm going to see, see my mother. Yue Yue almost squeezed these words out of her trembling mouth.
"Okay, then you run after me!" Seeing this, Hua Yue started jogging, Yue Yue probably because she rested for a while, her physical strength had recovered slightly, and she followed Hua Yu with her feet behind, with Hua Yu leading in front, Yue Yue could run a little easier.
Tianqi in the stands naturally saw this scene, and a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes that had been flat.
"Stupid. Noor, who was behind Tianqi, couldn't help but say: "I may not be able to complete the game, and I have to help others, and I will already be a dead man on the battlefield." ”
In response to Noor's ridicule, Tianqi didn't say anything, but said lightly: "This kid, pass directly." ”
"Captain?" said Noir.
Tian Qi didn't look back, just waved his hand slightly: "This is my personal decision. ”
Hua Yu, who was running in the field, didn't know that because of his action of helping Yue Yue just now, the Heavenly Qi Knight had already submitted him to pass this selection.
Since Yue Yue's speed was not fast, Hua Yu's speed also slowed down, once he ran too fast, Yue Yue would definitely not be able to keep up, and he had planned to run two laps, but now he had just finished one lap.
"It's not an option. Hua Yu also had a headache, Yue Yue's speed was getting slower and slower, and now even his whole body was trembling, it was obvious that the little physical strength he had just recovered had been exhausted in this circle.
But after this lap, due to Yue Yue's fall before, the other players in the field fell to the ground one after another as if they had knocked down dominoes. However, every time a person falls, a woman's exclamation will be heard in the center of the square, and several women will rush into the runway to carry the fallen child back.
Of course, these children who leave the runway are also disqualified from becoming pre-selected soldiers.
"Yue Yue, if you really can't hold on, give up. Hua Yu looked at Yue Yue's lips that were white from excessive fatigue, and couldn't help but turn around and say, "If you continue like this, your body will collapse!"
"No, I can't give up. Yue Yue's words were even a little vague, and as he spoke, some sticky white foam even flipped out.
"Hmph, useless is useless, you have to be hard-mouthed. ”
Suddenly, a disdainful sneer came from behind them.
Hearing this disgusting voice, Hua Yu's brows were also furrowed, and he didn't need to look, he also knew who the person who spoke was.
This person's name is Teying, and he is the nephew of the current village chief. Since the village chief has never had a child, he treats this nephew as his own, and the parents of this special eagle live in a small city not far from the village in the principality, and his father is a first-order knight!
Because of this, Teying's status in the village can be said to be the highest among the younger generation, and the cultivation resources he has obtained are also the most! As long as he can pass the assessment and become a real soldier, he can be transferred to his father's command.
"Take care of yourself. Hua Yu glanced at him coldly.
"Hmph, there are things that no one teaches in life, and the two of you are really like things. Special Ying glanced at Yue Yue with disdain, and immediately quickened his pace to leave Hua Yu behind.
Looking at Teying's back, Hua Yu's fists couldn't help but clench fiercely. A touch of killing intent also flashed from the bottom of his eyes!
