594: If you're so capable, let's have a competition!
Li Ran and Ning Qiu felt a burning sensation on their faces. No one had said anything harsh, but they felt as if they had been slapped.
"You were considered excellent in your former Military Unit, otherwise you wouldn't have been selected. But let me tell you something: there's always someone better, and your excellence is nothing to boast about in the Special Forces Brigade..."
Hearing this, Li Ran looked at Meng Ning, finding her somewhat familiar.
"What you said is too harsh. What do you mean our excellence is nothing to boast about in the Special Forces Brigade?"
"Exactly! By saying that, do you mean you're incredibly powerful?"
Hearing their words, Meng Ning glanced at them and said,
"Not incredibly powerful, but more than enough to beat you."
Hearing Meng Ning's arrogant words, Li Ran and Ning Qiu could no longer tolerate it.
"What big talk! How about we compete if you're so capable?"
"That's right! If you're so capable, then compete with us. If you win, we'll admit defeat."
Meng Ning smiled, seeing that they had fallen for her trap.
"Alright, what if you lose?"
Hearing Meng Ning suggest they would lose, these people were even more indignant.
"We haven't even competed, how do you know we'll lose?"
"Who do you think you are, talking so big?"
Gao Yao walked over when she heard them talking like this.
"Enough with the nonsense. You'll soon find out who we are."
"With your skills, you want to compete with us? We'll crush you in minutes."
Xiao Niannian did not stop the argument, nor did Feng Lin.
The two sides immediately made an agreement.
"Later, we'll go to the training ground and let you see how formidable we are," Li Ran declared fiercely.
"Let's go then."
Xiao Niannian watched these people run towards the training ground and smiled.
Such excitement used to only be seen in the Men's Team; she didn't expect the Womens Team to have some excitement now too.
Shen Yan watched a group of people run towards the training ground and, seeing Xiao Niannian, immediately ran over.
"Sister Xiao, why are so many people from your Womens Team running to the training ground?"
"To spar."
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Shen Yan immediately looked at her.
"They aren't trying to spar with you, are they?"
Who are these muddle-headed people who would even think of sparring with Sister Xiao? They'd be beaten until they cried for their parents.
He thought of his past embarrassing moments and immediately stepped back a pace or two in fright.
When Sister Xiao trained him back then, she really beat him badly. He was either getting beaten or on his way to getting beaten every day.
But it was also fortunate that Sister Xiao trained him like that; now, among the newly selected Team Members, his physical fitness is top-notch. Many people now call him Brother Shen when they see him.
Shen Yan proudly raised his head, but when his gaze met Xiao Niannian's, he immediately looked away.
"They're not trying to spar with me."
Hearing this, Shen Yan nodded.
If not with Sister Xiao, then who do these people want to spar with?
Seeing Shen Yan's expression, Xiao Niannian replied,
"Meng Ning, Gao Yao, Lin Shi."
What?
Who are these people who are so foolish? Although they didn't provoke Sister Xiao, Meng Ning and the others were personally taught by Sister Xiao. And after coming here, Sister Xiao also privately trains them to improve their physical fitness.
Now, Meng Ning, Gao Yao, and Lin Shi can be said to be among the most formidable people in the Womens Team.
Although they are still far from Sister Xiao's level, dealing with these people in the Womens Team would be effortless for them.
He had to go watch such an exciting event.
"Sister Xiao, I want to go watch."
Xiao Niannian nodded.
Shen Yan immediately ran towards the Womens Team training ground.
Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen saw all the female Team Members running towards the training ground, so they walked over.
"What happened?"
"Someone wants to spar, and they're heading to the training ground now to do so."
Someone wants to spar? Could it be with Niannian?
Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian.
Xiao Niannian's lips curved into a smile as she said,
"Let's go take a look."
"Okay."
When Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing arrived at the training ground, they saw that the few people had already started competing.
First, a five-kilometer run.
Xiao Niannian saw that Li Ran and Ning Qiu were running very fast, while Meng Ning and Gao Yao were left behind.
"Go!"
Some new Team Members began to cheer for Li Ran and Ning Qiu.
And the Team Members from Meng Ning and Gao Yao's dormitory also immediately started cheering.
Xiao Niannian listened to both sides cheering, and her lips curved.
"Sister Xiao, don't smile like that, it scares me when you do."
Shen Yan just happened to see Xiao Niannian's smile, and he was genuinely afraid of that kind of smile from Xiao Niannian. He was also afraid of Brother Lu's similar smile; every time he saw such smiles, he felt that they were about to deal with someone.
Unfortunately, he used to be the one getting dealt with.
Xiao Niannian looked at Meng Ning and the others. She knew that Meng Ning and Gao Yao were deliberately letting their opponents underestimate them.
Sure enough, in the last two laps, Meng Ning and the others quickly overtook Li Ran and her group.
When Li Ran and the others realized something was wrong, they tried desperately to catch up, but no matter how hard they tried, they were still much slower than Meng Ning's group.
Seeing that they had lost, Li Ran and Ning Qiu's expressions turned somewhat grim.
"We've only lost one round. Let's rest for a bit, then compete in the 400-meter obstacle course."
Hearing about the 400-meter obstacle course, many people laughed.
"Hahahaha."
"They want to compete against Meng Ning in the 400-meter obstacle course."
Li Ran heard their laughter and was somewhat puzzled.
Ning Qiu looked at these people displeased and said,
"What are you laughing at?"
Feng Lin, Li Le, Xu Jia, and the others remained silent when they heard their words.
Someone spoke up and said,
"You won't be able to beat Meng Ning in the 400-meter obstacle course."
"Is she really that good?"
Ning Qiu didn't believe it. Their 400-meter obstacle course times were always first among the female soldiers in their original Military Unit, and they had even beaten many male soldiers.
Li Ran also felt that they would definitely win against Meng Ning and her group.
The thirty-plus Team Members selected this time hadn't beaten them either.
The Team Members from Yang City Name and City Name were probably just average. Their unit was where the most elite Team Members were.
After resting for more than ten minutes, the 400-meter obstacle course competition began.
At the command, several people ran out.
Li Ran and Ning Qiu all thought they were running very fast. They ran desperately, not even having time to look at Meng Ning and her group.
"Oh my god, how are Meng Ning and the others running so fast?"
"They just flipped over in an instant?"
"This is too fast, isn't it?"
"It's really too fast."
After finishing, Li Ran triumphantly looked into the distance, seeing Meng Ning and Gao Yao standing there watching them.
"How about it, do you admit defeat?"
Ning Qiu looked at Meng Ning and Gao Yao arrogantly.
The watching Comrades-in-arms looked at them with mixed feelings.
Seeing their expressions were off, Ning Qiu looked at the people around her.
"What are those expressions?"
