Mu Chen lay comfortably under the shade for half an hour.
There were no longer any pirate recruits running on the field. Those who could run 100 laps had already finished running. Those who could not run 100 laps had also found a shade to lie down.
"Gather." When the instructor saw that there was no one on the field, he immediately walked out and shouted loudly.
Immediately, all the recruits dragged their tired bodies and slowly began to line up.
Mu Chen's body was full of strength due to his breakthrough, so he did not feel much fatigue. However, he felt very hungry. He was so hungry that he was growling. He was prepared to find a place to have a big meal after the instructor announced the results.
"Smog, go and count the number of people.”The instructor looked at Smoggy and ordered.
"Yes, Instructor." Smoggy was not in a good mood, his voice was not as loud as before, and his back was not as straight as before.
Mu Chen looked at the dejected Smoggy and felt a little strange. He was prepared to ask him what had happened after they were dismissed.
Smoggy quickly counted the number of people and said in a low voice,"Instructor, there are 150 people, no one is absent.”
"Mhm, return to the team." The instructor also noticed that something was wrong with Smoggy's mood. He frowned and looked at Smoggy strangely before shaking his head slightly.
"Alright, I have something to announce next.”The instructor scanned all the recruits present and announced loudly,""Today's training is actually a secret test. All the students who finish a hundred laps will be included in the elite team and receive Teacher Zefa's training.”
"What is it? It's actually a secret assessment!"
The students below immediately exploded. Moreover, when they heard that Blackwrist Zefa was the training teacher, the faces of those students who did not pass turned red with anxiety.
Some of the students who hadn't used 100% of their strength began to shout.
"Instructor, we haven't used our full strength yet. Please give us another chance.”
The instructor's face turned cold when he heard the shouts of the crowd. His eyes widened, and he looked dignified without being angry. He stared at those who were shouting and roared,"The secret assessment is what the cultural studies teacher taught you three days ago. As long as you pay attention, this situation won't happen.”
The students who were shouting felt a sense of pity when they heard the instructor's words. Their clamoring voices slowly disappeared.
The reason why they didn't use their full strength was because they were lazy. Facing the instructor's dignified face, they didn't have much confidence.
Seeing that everyone was no longer arguing, the instructor's expression softened." Alright, the secret assessment is a comprehensive assessment of strength and attitude. Teacher Zefa is the final decider. You still have a chance. When Teacher Zefa comes later, perform well.”
The instructor's words made the clamoring students 'eyes shine with hope.
They still had a chance. As long as they performed well, Mr. Zefa would still choose them. Even if they didn't run a hundred laps, they would still be able to enter the elite team.
Driven by this mentality, the originally lazy soldiers on the field held their heads high and puffed out their chests. Their eyes were burning as they waited for Blackwrist Zefa's arrival.
The instructor saw this scene and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he turned around and walked towards the building beside the field.
A minute later, the instructor returned. He was respectfully following behind a purple-haired old man.
"General Zefa, please inspect the new recruits.”The instructor puffed out his chest and straightened his back. After raising his hand to salute, he spoke loudly.
"Mhm, very good." Zefa nodded with a serious expression and turned his gaze to the recruits.
Mu Chen, who was mixed among the recruits, felt an invisible sense of oppression the moment Zefa's gaze swept over. It was like a wave that was pressing down on the recruits.
This pressure was like a monstrous wave, carrying an unstoppable might. It caused many recruits to be in a daze. Some recruits who were unable to perform well had already fallen to the ground under the effect of this pressure.
Mu Chen, on the other hand, had broken through his limits twice and was now full of stamina. Therefore, when the aura pressed down on him, his body did not move like a mountain, as if he did not feel the aura.
"Is this the Conqueror's Haki? Moreover, he could control it freely. It was really powerful.”Mu Chen looked envious. A strong desire rose in his heart. He also wanted to become such a powerful expert.
Zefa looked at the students who had collapsed on the ground and frowned. These weaklings would only become cannon fodder after entering the cruel battle and would not be qualified to join the elite troops.
With a scrutinizing gaze, Zefa continued to look at the others. When he saw a few new recruits whose legs were trembling but had firm expressions and persevered bitterly, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.
Pointing at the recruits, Zefa said softly,""The few of you have passed the assessment. Report to the elite division tomorrow.”
A few recruits who were selected by Zefa all revealed ecstatic expressions.
"Thank you, Teacher Zefa. We will definitely work hard to cultivate and become the elites of the navy.”A few recruits walked out of the team excitedly and bowed to Zefa in gratitude.
"Alright, I hope you can all become the pillars of the navy.”Zefa nodded and encouraged them.
A few soldiers were encouraged by Zefa, and their faces were red with joy.
As for the recruits who were not selected, their faces were filled with disappointment. Looking at those few people, the envy in their eyes was almost tangible. They wanted to replace those few people.
After encouraging the few of them, Zefa continued to look around. When he saw Mu Chen's tall figure that was as still as a mountain, his eyes suddenly flashed sharply.
"This slippery fellow actually still has so much stamina.”Zefa was dissatisfied.
Among the people present, other than Smoggy, Mu Chen was in the best condition and stood the steadiest.
This caused Zefa's evaluation of Mu Chen to drop once again. In his opinion, this kind of talented villain who only knew how to cheat would only become a disaster if he entered the elite navy team.
In the future, he might even betray the navy and become a pirate. It was not like Zefa had never seen such students before.
At the thought of this, Zefa's face darkened. He raised his hand and pointed at Mu Chen." You, come out!”
