Inside the Imperial Guard Camp, the crowds of onlookers who had gathered around the training ground couldn't help but get excited as they watched the trainees suddenly speed up.
Like the Xiahou brothers, people's faces flushed red, and they couldn't help but want to shout out encouragement, but the Imperial Guards responsible for maintaining order wouldn't allow it.
Watching the thirty trainees striving towards their goal, people could only suppress their inner excitement and shout in their hearts.
For a moment, the entire area was both quiet and bustling.
On the field, Cao Cao, who was running in the lead, realized that he had left the others behind, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"I'm determined to take first place!!"
Seeing the target point so close at hand, Cao Cao roared inwardly, then pushed off with his feet, accelerating once more and becoming the first to cross the target line.
Meanwhile, a soldier from the Imperial Guard who had been intently watching Cao Cao beside the target line nodded and stopped silently counting.
The other trainees followed suit and crossed the target line.
Soon, the Imperial Guard soldiers in charge of recording selected the top ten in this group and had them stand aside to wait for the second round of selection.
As the first tense and exciting match came to an end, the excitement of the spectators around them finally subsided.
But the thought of having to hold back during the upcoming matches, and the inability to shout freely despite the excitement and excitement of the event, made everyone feel incredibly sad.
Wang Yue, watching the end of a round of the competition from a distance, couldn't help but laugh and say:
"This Cao Mengde, putting everything else aside, he's certainly fast at running away!!"
"That's true, he's always the first one to arrive at every gathering!"
Huang Zhong, who was standing to the side, also smiled and nodded.
"By the way, Hansheng, look, those people are almost ready to burst, I think it's time for them to come!"
Looking at the crowd outside the venue, who were trying to suppress their excitement but couldn't cheer, Wang Yue couldn't help but chuckle.
Huang Zhong smiled and nodded, "Yes, what Supervisor Wang said is true. If we keep holding it in like this, we might get sick!"
As he spoke, Huang Zhong waved to one of the Imperial Guards soldiers standing nearby.
"Pass down the notice: tell the people, students, and young people that they are allowed to cheer and shout, but they must not move around or disrupt order!"
"promise!!"
The Imperial Guard soldiers respectfully acknowledged the order and then relayed Huang Zhong's instructions.
A moment later, cheers erupted from the crowd around the training ground as people released the pent-up frustration they had just been holding in.
"Heh~ Your Majesty truly understands people's hearts. This move made people erupt from their silence. It's really impressive!"
Hearing the thunderous cheers all around, Wang Yue couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
Soon, amidst cheers, the second row of Imperial Guard cadets stepped out of the ranks and got ready, with Yuan Shao among them.
"preparation!!"
"run!!"
At Xu Rong's command, Yuan Shao and the others used all their strength to run forward.
"Charge!"
"Run!!"
"First!!"
As the trainees sped across the training field, the surrounding crowd cheered loudly.
Although they didn't know who they were supporting, watching a group of people rushing and competing in front of them was really exhilarating, exciting, and joyful.
The Xiahou brothers and Xu Chu, with a clear goal in mind, exerted all their strength to cheer on Yuan Shao.
"Benchu, we must get first place!!"
On the other side, Cao Cao, who had just finished the match, stood excitedly to the side, cheering loudly for Yuan Shao.
Soon, amidst cheers, the second round of the competition ended, and Yuan Shao unsurprisingly won first place.
"Well done, Benchu, you're the best!"
Seeing his friend perform like this, Cao Cao couldn't help but cheer loudly, which drew the attention of everyone present. Yuan Shao, on the other hand, shook his head with a wry smile, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
"Hey, Lao Dian, look how hard Mengde is encouraging Benchu, are they really having an affair?"
Seeing Cao Cao shouting and yelling, Wen Chou at the back of the formation couldn't help but chuckle and nudged Dian Wei beside him.
"Perhaps, I don't really understand these things!"
Dian Wei scratched his head, glanced at Cao Cao, and didn't pay much attention.
"You really are a simpleton!!"
Looking at Dian Wei's honest and simple appearance, Wen Chou shook his head with a bored expression.
The selection process continued, and soon Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Hua Xiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others won first place in their respective groups, while Dian Wei was unfortunately left out.
"Old Dian, don't worry, weightlifting and throwing are your strengths, running fast is nothing!"
Seeing Dian Wei's somewhat dejected expression, Yan Liang and Wen Chou went forward to comfort him.
"You don't understand, what's the use of just being strong? If you run slowly, how can you keep up with His Majesty's pace as the master said?"
Despite Yan Liang and Wen Chou's attempts to comfort him, Dian Wei remained sullen and shook his head.
"Uh... Old Dian, your thinking is really hard to fathom! Is this how you follow His Majesty's footsteps?"
Wen Chou looked at Dian Wei with some astonishment. This straightforwardness was really a bit too much!
Yan Liang then stepped forward, patted Dian Wei on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
“Old Dian, being strong is very useful. You can lift things that others can’t.”
You can break down the city walls that others can't.
