Chapter 110: The Whole Division Boils Over, Breaking Army Record!!
During the Seventh Company competition team selection, Wu Liu Yi ran the 5 Kilometers Light Load in 16 minutes 18 seconds, which was two seconds faster than the current division record.
In the regiment grand competition, his performance was slightly worse, only achieving a time of 16 minutes 22 seconds.
It might have been breaking the 3 Kilometers record that consumed too much stamina.
However, even though he didn’t break the record in the regiment competition, this time of 16 minutes 22 seconds still greatly excited Regiment Commander Wang, who anticipated that Wu Liu Yi could achieve another victory in the division grand competition.
Gao Cheng was even more full of confidence in Wu Liu Yi.
He believed that with more than a day of rest, which was much more than during the regiment competition, he would definitely be able to recover his energy.
Sprinting once more in the division grand competition and breaking the division record would be perfect.
And as the strongest competitor, bar none, Chen Jun had not gone all out in the 5 Kilometers Light Load event, from the initial selection to the regiment grand competition venue.
Except for when he first arrived in Third Squad to establish himself, he proactively challenged Wu Liu Yi to a fight.
In the end, it ended in a draw with Wu Liu Yi.
But don’t forget that Chen Jun drawing with Wu Liu Yi was only the result after just one week of training.
And now, nearly eight months had passed since Chen Jun sparred with Wu Liu Yi back then—not to mention a significant improvement in his running technology.
Just comparing his physical fitness before and after, there was already a world of difference.
Back then he was as skinny as a telephone pole, but now he had standard weight, with physical fitness greatly improved, and his stamina and stamina would inevitably improve in sync.
With Regiment Commander Wang’s order conveyed by Gao Cheng, the other team members had basically secured full honors.
This meant there were no worries holding them back.
Chen Jun no longer made any pretense, and in the division grand competition’s 5 Kilometers event, he once again used his full strength.
Full power!!!
Chen Jun, who had always tried every method to push away merit and hide his strength, could still dominate other companies in the regiment grand competition, leaving them in the dust.
Now on this larger competition venue, how fierce was the fully powered Chen Jun.
The 5 Kilometers Light Load was a project that many regiment competitors were certain they could take, and it could also be said to be the project where the best results were easiest to achieve.
On this venue gathering the division’s elites, every competitor was a talent-level expert.
Whether it was former provincial athletes with systematic training, wild kids with flying legs who grew up in the mountains since childhood, or the previous competition’s 5 Kilometers champion, and so on.
Experts with all kinds of titles gathered here.
However, no matter how strong these people were, compared to Chen Jun who had transmigrated, there was still a certain gap; fundamentally, no one was his opponent.
Chen Jun not only had abundant experience from his previous life, but although he hadn’t brought any golden finger after transmigrating this life, nothing like an overpowered system.
But his soul had undergone tempering from the transmigration, and a stronger soul created a stronger physique.
This made his body subtly different from ordinary people.
For example, while others needed at least one or two years to gain 25 kilograms of muscle, Chen Jun did it in less than half the time, going against the norm.
All in all, just over seven months.
At that time, Chen Jun had already vaguely realized that his body was different from ordinary people.
The enhancement of his physical fitness was more than twice as fast as normal, and that was just one aspect; the bodily functions he trained were also much stronger than average.
Whether stamina or stamina, both far exceeded ordinary people.
This allowed Chen Jun, after bursting his small universe and going full power, to unleash energy that even he himself almost couldn’t react to.
He originally just wanted to try going all out once, to see exactly what level he could reach.
The result was unexpected.
It seemed he had used a bit too much force.
……
The 5 Kilometers Light Load cross-country was Wu Liu Yi’s specialty, and in the competition, he indeed gave his all.
He successfully broke the division record and took the best historical result.
The final time of 16 minutes 10 seconds was a full 10 seconds ahead of the division record.
If placed in any previous competition, or at another time point, it would definitely become the focus of the whole audience, the fuse to ignite the crowd, and even earn favor from the division.
Transfer to the division reconnaissance battalion for promotion to officer, and soar from there.
However, today on this division grand competition venue, Wu Liu Yi’s explosive result elicited no cheers from anyone, and hardly anyone paid attention; it completely became background.
This was regrettable, helpless.
But there was no method!
Even Wu Liu Yi himself lost convincingly, with no discomfort in his heart, feeling it should be this way, exactly as he imagined.
Because the one who had become the venue’s focus was Chen Jun, who had led the Steel Seventh Company competition team to the division.
He only wanted to test his strength limit, but the overly forceful Chen Jun ran a time that no one could believe, one that shouldn’t appear on the division grand competition venue but rather on the all-army grand competition venue—
15 minutes 38 seconds 84!!
How heaven-defying was this result…
With a cliff-like lead of more than half a lap, he was ahead of Wu Liu Yi who broke the division record, and just a few meters short of lapping third place.
Lapping third place on a division-level competition venue— no one would believe it if said out loud.
But it happened.
It not only broke and refreshed the division record, improving the time by a full 42 seconds, making this record an eternally unbreakable one close to impossible.
Most importantly, it also broke the all-army record of 15 minutes 40 seconds, which had been held for decades and become legend.
This was not only Chen Jun’s first all-army record broken, but also the first all-army record in the history of Steel Seventh Company, 702 Regiment, and even the entire T Division.
Leaving an all-army record in one’s own unit was top honor no matter which company.
Precisely because they knew how precious this honor was, when hearing Chen Jun’s result, even the division commander couldn’t help standing up excitedly.
From over a hundred meters across the spectator area, he frantically applauded Chen Jun in the air with an excited face.
Every other division leader, without exception, couldn’t stay calm at this moment; all were shocked by this result and followed the division commander in applauding.
Especially the political department director, who was already thinking about the award ceremony.
Breaking the all-army record meant at least second class merit.
None of the T Division leaders could stay calm, all excited like it was New Year’s; below them, Company Commander Gao Cheng and Wang Qing Rui as regiment commander were even more so.
If using an exaggerated term, it was like snot bubbles were about to burst from laughter.
This was an all-army record.
No need to say more.
Just Chen Jun’s honor of breaking an all-army record was enough to be hung on 702 Regiment’s most sacred honor wall, which almost never changed outside of wartime.
Becoming the collective honor of the entire 702 Regiment, enough to brag awesome for decades.
And for Regiment Commander Wang Qing Rui, bringing out a soldier who broke an all-army record would add a thick, heavy stroke to his resume.
