"Are they still keeping up?" Chu Jiaojiao asked as she saw Xia Yiyang catching up.

"I don't know, but I think I might be able to keep up."

Chu Jiaojiao took one of the packages from Xia Yiyang's hands to help him carry one, and the three siblings gradually picked up their pace, overtaking one person after another, and even the people following behind them quickened their pace.

The headlights of several large trucks gradually came into view. Everyone got excited when they saw the trucks. What did this mean? It meant that they were about to pass the first test. Gradually, some people started to sprint. Chu Xingyue and her two companions were still running forward at the same speed. Even when they were overtaken by the students behind them, they did not care.

"You two sprint forward, I'll wait for the other three. The instructors definitely have a roster, so don't miss too many."

Chu Xingyue spoke to the two people in front of her.

Without any hesitation, the two men each grabbed two packages and began sprinting toward the truck.

The two rushed to the instructor in first and second place, panting, put down their packs, and began to stand on tiptoe, looking in the direction of Chu Xingyue in the distance.

Chu Xingyue slowly jogged back and finally saw Du Kangli and the others not far away. Du Kangli felt that today's five kilometers was more difficult than any other five kilometers. It was too tiring. How could he not be tired? Carrying double the weight and having to adjust his breathing from time to time for the two behind him, if he hadn't exercised regularly since childhood, he would definitely have gotten a stitch by now.

Seeing someone running back in the distance, he didn't have much energy to pay attention. Only when he saw the person running alongside him did he realize it was Chu Xingyue. "Sister, how did you end up here? You should run by yourself."

"Don't talk, adjust your breathing, and start running with me." "And you two behind me, if you want to pass smoothly, adjust your breathing and start running with me."

Chu Xingyue's emotionless voice inexplicably made everyone unconsciously follow her instructions. The three of them started running slowly behind Chu Xingyue without any distractions, cheering themselves on, determined not to be eliminated in the first round, which would truly be a waste of their years of hard work. Right now, all they could think about was following Chu Xingyue and trying their best.

The group gradually grew larger, resembling a group that had gone for a morning run the day before. Those following behind Chu Xingyue and the others didn't know who was ahead of them, but they knew they didn't want to give up and just wanted to grit their teeth and persevere.

When the last person passes in front of the instructor with the stopwatch, it means the first hurdle has been overcome.

"Now I will announce the results. Everyone, please stand up and wait for the results."

"Congratulations everyone, you have all completed the weighted run within 1 hour."

"Ugh..." Some girls started sobbing, and some boys who thought they couldn't possibly complete the task also had tears in their eyes. They really didn't expect that they could complete the first task.

The instructor with the stopwatch was a little moved as he looked at the group of kids. At least none of them had dropped out halfway through. Every year, many of the new recruits they trained would drop out because of failing the running test. It was clear that these new recruits were quite determined. The instructor glanced at Chu Xingyue, who was leaning against the truck with her arms crossed. It was this girl. If she hadn't gone back to lead the group that had fallen behind, the rest of the group probably wouldn't have passed.

Some people are born with such charm and charisma that they can make those around them believe in them and follow them.
