"Next group, those with Shēn character tokens come forward!" The guard in charge of recording scores shouted loudly.

  Chen Hua walked over with Zhang Feng, surrounded by the people who had previously compared them, wanting to see how capable this person was who dared to make a bet with Sun Ma Zi's group.

  "Big Bull, you go first and add some strength, strive for a good start!" Chen Hua ordered Big Bull.

  The big cow took off his shirt, moved his shoulders a couple of times, and came to the front of the stone lock. He grasped the handle of the 400-pound stone lock with both hands, pressed down on the lower plate, sank his breath into his dantian, and exerted force from his arms. "Ah...ah...!" The stone lock was slowly lifted up. Little Liu and Old Gu were both clenching their fists and cheering for Big Cow to add oil.

  "Come on, big guy, you can do it!"

  "The great cow is adding strength, just a little bit more!"

  Zhang Feng and others are really looking at the big cow, after all, this group of big cows is the main force. The remaining six sons, Lao Gu is too small and one is too old, it's not easy to lift heavy weights. If the big cow can get a better result, the situation will be very favorable for them.

  Hearing the cheers of his comrades, Big Bull gritted his teeth and made a final effort. The trembling stone lock was slowly lifted above his head, and when the recording soldier bent down to write down the score, Big Bull could no longer hold on, his arms relaxed, and his body fell straight to the ground, fainting away. The stone lock on his head lost its support and was about to crush him.

  At this moment, a figure flashed to the side of the big cow, and with a push of both hands, the stone lock was actually knocked flying. The people around thought that the big cow would be injured, but they didn't expect things to change so quickly. Looking at the stone lock that had flown out and lay horizontally on the ground far away, then turning back to look at Zhang Feng's arms, which were stretched straight out, his face changing from purple to red, and from red to white, he was stunned for a moment.

  "Good!" With a loud shout, Chen Hua excitedly ran over to support Zhang Feng, while Liu Zi and Wang Ping also lifted up the big cow. As everyone came back to their senses, applause and cheers filled the air. It wasn't just because Zhang Feng had broken the stone lock, but also because he had risked everything to save someone.

  Touching one's heart and asking oneself, would they themselves do something like Zhang Feng did? The answer is unknown, because people will hesitate and think about whether they themselves might get hurt. But Zhang Feng didn't, he went to rescue right away without thinking at all about what might happen to himself.

  Chen Hua looked at Zhang Feng, who was pale and sweating profusely, his two arms twitching involuntarily. He felt extremely guilty in his heart. If it weren't for their bet, Big Cow wouldn't have exerted himself to the point of collapse, and Zhang Feng wouldn't be in this state now.

  "Chen, I'm fine, just a bit overexerted and feeling a little lightheaded now. Just help me to the side and I'll sit down for a rest."

  Chen Hua helped Zhang Feng sit down on the ground, and the unconscious Da Niu also woke up. Upon learning that Zhang Feng had saved his legs, he rushed over to hug Zhang Feng and burst into loud sobs.

  "Alright, alright, Big Cow, just hold me for a while longer and I won't be able to breathe," Zhang Feng said helplessly to Big Cow. Big Cow also knew that Zhang Feng had been injured while saving him, and seeing his still trembling arms, tears were about to fall again.

  "What a big deal! A real man doesn't cry, I'm not useless, just temporarily out of energy. You know I have medical skills, do you think I'd deceive myself?"

  The big cow wiped away tears and sobbed: "Really? Brother Zhang, you must not deceive me. My mother told me that the kindness of dripping water should be repaid with a spring, from now on, Brother Zhang is my own brother."

  Chen Hua and others originally had some sadness, but after hearing what Big Cow said, they all laughed.

  "Great cow, it's not that you're giving people spring water, but the favor of dripping water should be repaid with a gushing spring... uh... never mind what it means, just remember this kindness. Chen Hua patted the thick shoulder of Great Cow, signaling him to get up."

  The big cow itself had already left, and after adding the big cry, it felt a bit better, but then it felt soft all over its body, and it sat down on Zhang Feng's side with a thud, not wanting to move at all.

  Chen Hua then turned to ask the soldier in charge of supervision how Zhang Feng's score should be calculated. The supervising soldier was also in a dilemma, as Zhang Feng's arms were now too weak to lift the stone lock, but if he scored zero, it seemed unfair, since Zhang Feng had been injured while trying to save someone.

  Just as the soldier was at a loss for words, a voice came from behind him: "Even if he's 400 pounds, after all, he knocked the stone lock flying."

  The speaker was Wang Zhen Bai Hu, something happened on the school field, they three on the stage could all see it, but Zhang Feng and others were surrounded by a group of people, so that the three hundred households did not know the specific situation. So Wang Zhen Bai Hu came over to take a look, just in time to hear the discussion between Chen Hua and the inspector, and took charge of determining Zhang Feng's score, which was also fair and unbiased, with no impact on everyone.

  Chen Hua rushed back to tell his brothers after hearing Wang Baiguan's words, and everyone thought it was very reasonable. After all, Zhang Feng couldn't lift the stone lock now, and the inspector not giving him a score was also justified. But now that Lord Baiguan had spoken, Zhang Feng had a score, and naturally everyone was willing to accept it.

  Wang Zhen walked up to Zhang Feng with his hands behind his back, squatted down and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Well done, this is what I expect from a soldier of the Yan Mountain Guard, this is what it means to be a true man."

  Zhang Feng raised his weak arms and arduously cupped his hands: "Thank you, Baili sir!"

  Wang Zhen pressed down his arm and didn't say anything else, turning around and going back up to the reviewing stand.

  Dà Niú and Zhang Feng are done, next it's Liù Zǐ and Lǎo Gǔ's turn. Wang Ping and the others took the test, everyone's results have improved compared to when they were newly recruited soldiers, especially Wang Ping, who was clearly stimulated by Dà Niú and managed to lift 380 pounds.

  The remaining three teams also completed the test one after another, and the recording soldiers carefully checked the data twice before the referee began to announce the results.

  "Twelfth place, Chou team; Eleventh place, Yin team... Third and second place are tied, respectively You team and Wu team; First place, Chen team!"

  Sun Ma Zi walked towards Chen Hua and the others with an air of triumph, looked at Zhang Feng who was still sitting on the ground and said: "How about it? You guys are third, we're first. Old Chen, do you want to admit defeat now? No need to go to the main street to shout, just shout three times here."

  "I..." Chen Hua didn't even get to finish speaking before Zhang Feng pulled him back, Chen Hua turned around to see Zhang Feng shaking his head, clearly disagreeing with admitting defeat now. Liu Zi Wang Ping and the others were also glaring at Sun Ma Zi. Chen Feng gritted his teeth and made a decision.

  "No, there's still one more game left, we won't give up now."

  "Hmph, you're lucky I'm letting you off easy, if it weren't for the fact that one of you is still a decent human being, I'd have no sympathy for any of you." Sun Ma Zi saw Chen Hua's persistence and didn't bother saying anything more.

  Because it was a new recruit competition, today the three hundred extra allowed the cooks to add meals, simmered meat porridge, and each person got two slices of pork.

  Chen Hua and the others had finished their meal and were gathering together to enjoy it. Liu Zi looked at the fatty meat slices in his bowl, then at Zhang Feng's still pale face, and silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He got up and walked over to Zhang Feng and the big cow, dividing the two pieces of meat from his own bowl between them. The others saw this and also went over to divide their meat slices, Zhang Feng looked at the meat in his bowl in silence, while the big cow choked back tears as if he was about to cry again.

  "Go ahead and eat, this is what you two deserve. If you don't eat, nobody will agree." Chen Hua also picked up a piece of meat and said.

  Zhang Feng licked his dry lips, grinned, and lowered his head to devour the rice bowl. This feeling was something he had never experienced in the past 16 years. The mountain's masters showed him concern, but here it was friendship among peers, camaraderie between comrades-in-arms.

  Zhang Feng ate and then sat cross-legged to cultivate himself, his heart determined to take first place in the Grand Competition...
