Chapter 20 Physical Weakness

Xu Lingqu watched as Shen Shouli got angry and ran away without saying a word, leaving her alone at the tail end, and she was very satisfied.

In fact, she could feel that Shen Shouli did this probably because he wanted to accompany her so that she would not be so embarrassed, and it was all out of good intentions.

But Xu Lingqu is the best at taking other people's kindness as ungrateful.

The training ground was large enough. After running about 2 kilometers, Jin and Xu Xizhen, who were competing with each other, had successfully surpassed Xu Lingqu. Both of them were a little surprised to see her.

Xu Lingqu was already panting so hard that he couldn't speak. He just waved his hand to signal the two people to walk faster.

Starting with these two, people who followed gradually surpassed Xu Lingqu.

Liu Zheng and Shen Shouli also ran past her. Shen Shouli turned his head to look at her awkwardly, and Xu Lingqu felt puzzled.

His shoulders became more and more sore, and his legs became heavier and heavier. Xu Lingqu ran slower and slower, and even couldn't keep up with the target point he set for himself, and began to fall out of touch with the main group.

One after another, she passed by, the distance between her and the target grew ever farther. Students not oriented to combat also began to surpass her. While these students weren't strong in this area, they were former military academy students and had received basic training in this area. Naturally, they were much better than Xu Lingqu, who had gotten in through the backdoor.

But Xu Lingqu himself was not in a hurry.

From having his vision darken after running two laps in the Xu family's back garden to being able to barely stick to high-intensity training now, Xu Lingqu is very satisfied with his performance.

However, in the eyes of others, her performance was too far behind. Sun Liao even mocked her loudly when he passed her: "Isn't this our number one? It turns out that the number one can be the number one."

After he finished speaking, the people around him also burst into laughter, waiting to see Xu Lingqu sad or angry, but unfortunately, she turned a deaf ear to him, without any emotion on her face, and continued to run on her own.

When Tang Muwen ran past her, he asked her in a low voice: "Maybe, do you need to pull me along?"

Xu Lingqu glanced at him. She didn't have the energy to say anything to drive him away, so she signaled with her eyes that there was an instructor watching the whole process, and the two of them would be punished together.

Tang Muwen understood what she meant, but still insisted on slowing down and watching her run beside Xu Lingqu.

The competition for the first place came to an end quickly. Xu Xizhen won with a difference of half a body length. She looked up excitedly to find her sister, but there was a huge crowd of people. Jin was standing beside her, panting and refusing to admit defeat. By the time Liu Zheng and Shen Shouli arrived, the main group had not arrived for a while.

Everyone stopped walking. Xu Xizhen wanted to go over and help Xu Lingqu, but he saw that Xu Lingqu didn't stop walking.

"She still has one more circle." Tang Muwen explained beside her.

Xu Lingqu was the only one left on the track. Her throat felt as if it had been burned dry, and her legs felt so heavy that they would separate from her body in the next second. She was sweating profusely, and her vision was blurred. Xu Lingqu wiped the sweat from her face. Basic physical training could not be forced, and it was good enough that she could complete it.

Before the end of the world, due to her abnormal physique as an evolved human, she basically had no worries about physical fitness. Now in the interstellar age, there are no shortcuts and everything has to start from scratch.

Thinking of this, she adjusted her breathing, her heart gradually calmed down, and she maintained her own pace. The instructor drove a car and followed her with a military stick in his hand. After about five minutes, Xu Lingqu finally finished the rest of the distance.

She dragged her body down, her steps were now weak and a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat, and she didn't want to spit it out. She didn't look well.

Xu Xizhen was the first to rush forward and support her, helping her take off the heavy objects on her back. Just as he was about to pull her to walk slowly for a while to rest, Instructor Chen appeared.

"Now the second training content is a 10-kilometer run with weights."

It seems that today is a day of pure physical training. The students resigned themselves to their fate and started running again. This time, Xu Xizhen did not run to the front to compete with Jin. She held Xu Lingqu's hand and wanted to pull her to run together, but was thrown away by Xu Lingqu.

"You run to the front." Xu Lingqu said directly.

"No, what will you do if I go?" Xu Xizhen had a premonition that Xu Lingqu was going to act alone, just like she had silently designated the most dangerous area for herself during the rescue operation.

"I'm taking a rest." Xu Lingqu stopped and walked directly towards Instructor Chen.

"Ah?" Xu Xizhen stood there in a daze, watching Xu Lingqu actually walk up to Instructor Chen, say a few words, and then sit down.

She confirmed that Xu Lingqu actually sat down like that, then quietly returned to the track and began to catch up with Jin who was already far ahead.

The conversation between Instructor Chen and Xu Lingqu was very simple.

"Two points will be deducted for missing a run. Are you sure you want to miss it?"

Xu Lingqu nodded and sat down.

Points are earned to be spent. The human body has its limits, especially this body of yours. The limits are terribly low. There is no need to mess with your own life. Only with life can you have a future. This is Xu Lingqu's point of view.

Instructor Chen was not surprised by Xu Lingqu's choice. From the rescue incident, it can be seen that she is a smart person. From the fact that she suddenly fainted beside him during the duel that day, it can be further seen that she is a smart person with a weak body.

"Are you too tired to hold on?" Instructor Chen started talking to her first.

"Yeah." After sitting down, Xu Lingqu still had a bloody taste in his throat.

"Your mental power level isn't high either." Instructor Chen sat down. "So even though you're ranked high, you can't be a mecha soldier. Do you feel regretful?"

In fact, if you put aside the issues of physical weakness and mental strength, Xu Lingqu is simply a chosen mecha soldier. Driving a mecha also requires brains, or it can be said that driving a mecha requires the most brains.

Many people now have a misunderstanding that commanders are a group of people with good brains but bad hearts, analysts are humanoid intelligent brains, and those who drive mechas are a group of violent elements who have high mental power and can fight, and are very simple and crude.

In fact, this is not the case. For a sophisticated killing tool like a mecha, there is actually a huge difference between how smart people and stupid people use it.

Xu Lingqu did not have this worry.

After all, her real mental power is SS level instead of B level. The selection of mecha soldiers is based on the actual situation, so mental power cannot limit her.

But she had no intention of actively exposing her mental power to become a mecha soldier. After all, she didn't have a deep understanding of mechas at the moment, and if she wanted to learn more about mechas, she already had Lumen, who claimed to be a 3S mecha. Lumen still had 80% credibility in her eyes.

Rather than exposing his SS-level mental power and bringing danger to himself, it would be better to hold back and bide his time. It would also be a good idea to first learn about mechas from Liuming.

"No, being a commander is also good." This is what Xu Lingqu thinks at the moment, sincerely.

"You're quite open-minded." Instructor Chen commented.

Xu Lingqu nodded: "The objective conditions are like this, there's no need to embarrass yourself."

Instructor Chen smiled somewhat helplessly, a stark contrast to his usual forced smile. "But I have a feeling that once you get in touch with the mecha, you'll absolutely love it."

Xu Lingqu did not respond immediately.

The image of the huge white mecha that bowed to her when her spiritual power awakened suddenly appeared in her mind.

A beautiful, huge and sophisticated killing weapon, like a knight in armor coated with moonlight.

"Maybe." Xu Lingqu said lightly.
