Chapter 3651: Panic
Editor: Henyee Translations
However, they were quickly dealt a blow by reality. The Chinese students didn’t give them a chance to overtake them at all. They lifted the log on the spot and already started to sprint. Then, they coordinated the transportation and pa.s.sed the obstacles. The Chinese students seemed to have completed everything in one breath without stopping!
With a special forces soldier among them, they were like an unshakable stabilizing force.
As soon as the morning compet.i.tion ended, the total score was announced. China was still in third place. As for j.a.pan and South Korea, they were in the top five. Fortunately, they were not in the top ten.
After the scores were out, the instructors from the various countries were already standing among the students. Li Jinnian reached out his hand and felt many hands stacked on the back of his hand. There were too many people, he simply divided them into two groups of eight. He then drew away his hand happily.
On the first day, there were two big matches in the morning, and the Chinese team won the playoffs beautifully!
The students from other countries, who were ranked lower, were not discouraged. Under the guidance of their instructors, they adjusted their mentality and rested well to prepare for the match in the afternoon.
When Instructor Jin Zhongzai saw that the students from his country had lost to the Chinese, he swallowed his serious criticism. He could only enlighten them first so that their performance in the compet.i.tion wouldn’t be affected.
“You’ve all seen China’s strength. They sent their most capable students from their military schools to partic.i.p.ate, but we didn’t. Hence, it’s not surprising that you lost to China.
“They sent the strongest students, but they couldn’t get first place. This means that their overall strength is still very weak. Only a few of them are strong.
“It’s my fault that we lost the matches in the morning. I didn’t remind you that you must treat the Chinese students seriously. We can’t underestimate them just because they’re from China.”
If he didn’t hurry up and warn his country’s students, he wouldn’t have the time to warn them when the ring-shaped obstacle compet.i.tion started in the afternoon.
The instructor from j.a.pan said something to the students of his country while walking away. They were afraid that other people would hear them, so they kept nodding. They seemed to be discussing something big.
Some students from other countries had already come to congratulate the Chinese students. The Chinese students shook hands with the American students who got first place and started a short exchange.
The American students didn’t have any hostility. They treated the Chinese students as their opponents. There was no contempt in their words, nor was there any invisible arrogance. When they congratulated them, their expressions were very sincere.
The Chinese students gained a lot from chatting with them.
Li Jinnian was also communicating with the American instructor in a low voice. Beside him were the instructors from the top five countries. Everyone started talking about the training in the morning.
They didn’t look down on the Chinese students anymore. No country thought that the Chinese students were weak. Even the Manchester military didn’t dare to look down on them anymore. Manchester’s president even personally sent a message to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express his deep apologies.
The compet.i.tion in the afternoon officially started at one o’clock. Li Jinnian only had one simple request for the students. They had to stabilize their position in the top three. They could always advance another time. If their ranking went down, they would have to reflect.
Fortunately, the students were very hardworking, especially after completing the obstacle course with the j.a.panese students. The Chinese students, who had rested well, were even more motivated. They looked at the j.a.panese students with bright eyes, making them panic.
