Chapter 1602: Chapter 805: Swamp

"I don’t want to take advantage of others; since everyone has to undergo the five assessments, I absolutely won’t take shortcuts!"

"You have integrity."

The soldier walked straight onto the arena and gave a thumbs-up.

Both of them assumed their stances, ready for combat.

This time, however, to the soldier’s surprise, Lin Beichen didn’t use Tai Chi right away as he did before but responded seriously with each move.

It turned out Lin Beichen had already noticed that although this person’s moves were the same as those taught by Instructor He, there were still flaws.

After all, these people have always trained under Instructor He, so in all aspects, they would certainly be similar.

Lin Beichen didn’t care about any of this; a casual right hook, a left hook landed directly on the opponent’s weak spot.

Nonetheless, the person’s physique was indeed tough. Although it was a weak spot, he managed to withstand it. At this critical moment, he suddenly struck upward with a punch.

This time, however, the situation was different.

Lin Beichen realized that this punch was unavoidable, so he immediately jumped up to minimize the damage it could cause.

The soldier smiled, but to his surprise, Lin Beichen took advantage of the instant he jumped up to deliver a sweeping kick.

The soldier, taken off guard, immediately fell to the ground.

Lin Beichen used the moment of descent to execute a grappling move.

The soldier was swiftly controlled.

"I don’t accept this."

"If you don’t accept it, then we’ll go again until you do."

Lin Beichen and the soldier reengaged in combat; after a few rounds, each time, the soldier ended up being grappled in the end.

"Young brother, your courage is commendable, but compared to me, there’s indeed still a gap in your skills."

Instantly, everyone in the Seventh District looked in shock at this young ’monster’ standing before them.

Who on earth is this? He looks so feeble, yet wields such formidable skills?

Chen Bin also slowly appeared in the Seventh District, but he did not approach the area directly.

Upon witnessing this situation, he merely smiled.

"Didn’t I say the person I chose was right? They didn’t know it before, but now they’re finally facing the music. It’s good for them to understand that the world is vast."

At this moment, the district chief arrived.

"Lin Beichen, according to the agreement, you have passed the combat assessment."

Next will be the pairs of confrontations, and those people’s skills cannot be underestimated.

Lin Beichen started to realize that among these people were hidden talents, just that they hadn’t fully displayed themselves in front of him.

It seems like the third assessment won’t be easy; otherwise, he wouldn’t have a chance to stay here.

Lin Beichen wasn’t concerned with any of this; whatever comes, he will deal with it as it comes. To him, these were just ordinary matters.

"Well then, let’s begin!"

At this moment, He Shuixing pulled Lin Beichen aside.

"Lin Beichen, I have high hopes for you; you must pass all the remaining three assessments. I’m waiting for you to become an instructor here, and from now on, you’ll be in my lineup."

After saying this, He Shuixing left just like that.

However, this place is not as simple as having just one instructor.

The third assessment is a 50-kilometer weighted cross-country run, which is an extreme challenge. Any special forces soldier must meet this requirement.

Lin Beichen had already mentally prepared to tackle this challenge.

However, this time, the weighted cross-country wasn’t meant to be completed in a single day. At each point, they had to check in, and there were resting periods along the way.

Lin Beichen wondered to himself what kind of show this was?

At this moment, the district chief scanned the crowd.

"We need to proceed based on actual conditions. The forced march is the next step; for now, we focus on wilderness survival skills."

With that said, the district chief unfolded a map.

Lin Beichen suddenly understood.

It turns out that this so-called 50-kilometer cross-country run is actually a real test of wilderness survival. And more unexpectedly, it’s far from simple.

There are not only lakes and swamps but also various unique terrains here.

They must traverse these locations with different weights within the allotted time and reach the destination, each time making it to a mealtime.

"If you make it in time for meals, you’re considered qualified; if you miss a meal, not only will we not provide food, but we’ll also deduct points."

These points have a passing line; if the overall performance doesn’t reach the passing line, then the third assessment is deemed a failure.

"Wait a moment, Chief."

Just then, the outstanding soldier in the Seventh District stepped forward.

"I want to join this assessment."

The district chief understood that it seemed someone else wanted to challenge Lin Beichen.

"Approved!"

Lin Beichen smiled slightly.

It seems these people still aren’t fully convinced, which is perfect—an opportunity to showcase his full strength and give them a good lesson.

"The time is set for tomorrow."

At night, Lin Beichen was busy preparing. Besides the standard weights, everyone could also select a few pieces of equipment according to their preferences.

Xia Lei this time, as part of the logistics support, couldn’t interact with Lin Beichen anymore.

Chen Bin, however, walked straight into Lin Beichen’s tent.

"You look in great shape now. It seems this time we really don’t have to worry about those meaningless things, haha."

"Absolutely not!"

Lin Beichen smiled.

"Even if you didn’t come, I wouldn’t be worried. I originally thought the Seventh District, as the world’s top special forces training camp, would be incredibly tough, yet the first two exams seemed quite simple to me."
