After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 30: Did Jiang Hanying go down the wrong track?
Watching helplessly as their knees accidentally touch the ground and they have to go back to the starting point and start all over again is not only driving the guests crazy, but also leaving the audience speechless.

I seriously underestimated how ruthless the drill instructors were!

I used to think fifty meters was a short distance, just a few minutes' walk, but now it feels so far!

Is Yuan Chaoyu about to have a breakdown?

[Yuan has a good sense of balance, but she seems a little restrained.]

[I suggest you learn from Jiang Hanying. At this point, who cares about maintaining an idol image? Just grit your teeth and get through it!]

[Compared to the others, I actually admire Jiang Hanying. After all, the guests' every move was exposed to the cameras, but this girl seemed completely oblivious to them, walking away with quite a bold stride!]

After walking fifty meters in a duck-like gait, and then doing twenty squats and stand-ups on the spot, Jiang Hanying and Xi Ming, who finished almost at the same time, exchanged a glance and looked back at the other guests who were still on their way.

Chu Yuan is doing squats. Now only Gao Juyao is left. Xun Zhou and Yuan Chaoyu are still on their way.

Kao Chi-yao's performance is limited by his belly; his large belly presses down on his thighs, making it difficult for him to lift them.

Xun Zhou's long legs became a disadvantage this time; his lower body was not stable enough, and he walked unsteadily.

Yuan Chaoyu was simply a little too reserved.

Before they could even finish looking at it, the three people who had finished first were called out.

Li Chengxiao produced three sandbags from somewhere and gave one to each of them. "The three of you try the weighted duck walk and squats again, then walk back the way you came."

Feeling the weight of love in their arms, the three looked at each other in bewilderment.

[Instructor: You think you can rest after you've finished? No way!]

[This time, the instructor's special treatment extended from Jiang Hanying to three other people.]

[Jiang Hanying: Not bad, not bad, now I have someone to keep me company. At least I don't have to play alone anymore.]

Yuan Chaoyu was once again ordered to return to the starting point and start over because his movements were not up to standard. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Hanying among the three people carrying sandbags walking towards him, and his eyes turned fierce.

If Jiang Hanying can do it, why can't she?

Fight!

Jiang Hanying: "..."

I was completely baffled by their glare!

Wow, Yuan Chaoyu's competitive spirit has been reignited by Jiang Hanying's performance! How exciting!

[Go, goddess! You can do it!]

The three people carrying sandbags and walking back successfully spurred the three who had been repeatedly retreating to their starting point to rush to the finish line in one go.

[It just suddenly got me fired up.]

It seems that sometimes the problem isn't that the task can't be completed, but rather that the stimulus isn't right.

[I've learned something new! I'll use this method to motivate my unruly son next time!]

Applying what you've learned is excellent!

With the task completed, the guests were given another ten minutes of rest time.

However, the three people who finished last did not receive a passing grade because they exceeded the time limit.

We still need to keep practicing!
Next up are pull-ups.

My nightmare.

Guess how many are in this group?

[Five, to be honest, I can't get even one.]

I tried it at the gym before, but I couldn't even hold the position for ten seconds, let alone do any other exercises.

If Jiang Hanying can successfully complete this task, will she be able to stay in the dormitory to rest this afternoon?

[Thinking back, it's true, she seems to be the only one who passed all four of the first four tests!]

[Yao Ge failed all four tests. I feel sorry for him. Light a candle!]

That's really impressive!

During the discussion, the ten-minute break passed quickly.

Yuan Chaoyu mentally prepared himself, but couldn't help glancing at Jiang Hanying standing next to the uneven bars.

If this last task is also completed smoothly, will this person choose to rest in the dormitory in the afternoon?

She considered herself to be good at judging people, but someone like Jiang Hanying was someone she simply couldn't predict based on her past experience.

The instructor's voice made her quickly regain her composure.

"Pull-ups: Grip the bar tightly, then use the strength of your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, and back to lift your body upwards until your chin clears the bar. I currently have three standards for you: five, pass; ten, good; fifteen, excellent. I don't require you to reach the excellent standard; it depends on your own ability." [The instructor's demonstration looks very relaxed.]

[At first, I thought the same way when I saw others doing it, until I did it myself... It's a painful memory!]

I'm a little curious how many repetitions the instructor can do at once?

[Blind guess: over 30.]

[Not only that, but look how effortlessly he demonstrates these movements; he's definitely a master.]

[His usual training is probably the weighted version, and now he's teaching a bunch of newbies? A true master's disdain!]

Chu Yuan shouldn't be considered a noob.

[That's in your eyes. In the instructors' eyes, they were all incompetent, just to varying degrees.]

What you say makes perfect sense; I am speechless.

Li Chengxiao pointed to the two high bars on the left and right, "Two at a time. Jiang Hanying, and Chu Yuan, you two go first."

Does this imply that they are the strongest in this training program?

The remaining four guests, who had not been named, also thought of this.

Xi Ming pursed his lips.

Yuan Chaoyu subtly tightened his grip on his sleeve.

Xun Zhou took a deep breath.

Gao Juyao, on the other hand, looked utterly desperate.

He had a feeling he wouldn't be able to finish even one.

However, he failed all four training exercises and has now given up.

If I can't finish it, I can't finish it. I'll just do my best.

Jiang Hanying walked to the bottom of the horizontal bar.

After rubbing his hands together, he imitated the action the instructor had just demonstrated, jumped up and grabbed the horizontal bar.

As soon as your feet are off the ground, the force of falling follows immediately.

But they still need to defy this inertia and use the horizontal bar in their hands to pull themselves up.

"Note that you should use your back muscles and not try to swing your body to gain leverage. Imagine that you are pulling the bar down with force."

Hearing the instructions coming from below, Jiang Hanying gritted her teeth, exerted force with her back, and pulled herself up successfully.

"Stop, okay. Don't rush to do the second one after you get off. First, adjust your breathing..."

After successfully completing her first pull-up and mastering the technique, the rest became much easier for Jiang Hanying.

When I got to the tenth one, I heard a thud behind me.

After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and did five more. Only when she was sure that she didn't have enough strength left to support one more did she let go of the bar and fall back to the ground.

The master once said: "Give your all in everything you do, and do it the best you can."

She remembers it perfectly!
Li Chengxiao's feet wobbled as his feet touched the ground, and he instinctively reached out to steady her. When Jiang Hanying turned around in surprise, he withdrew his hand and nodded, "Not bad."

He could tell at a glance that this was Jiang Hanying's first time doing pull-ups, otherwise he wouldn't have given her those tips earlier. But the fact that this girl could do fifteen in a row was something he hadn't expected at first.

It's really great!

I'm truly impressed this time.

[Someone just said that it looks like Jiang Hanying is doing pull-ups for the first time. Are you sure now, bro?]

Even if it's not your first time, you're still a beginner. Usually, you can only manage five in a row at most. To be able to do fifteen in one go is practically a gift in the fitness world!

[So, does this mean Jiang Hanying has chosen the wrong path? Maybe she should just give up on the entertainment industry and go into sports!]

Chu Yuan successfully did ten pull-ups. When he turned his head, he saw that almost everyone's eyes and cameras were on him. He felt a mix of emotions.

The feeling of being completely crushed can sometimes be really disheartening.

"Xi Ming, Yuan Chaoyu, get ready!"

The two unfortunate brothers who were placed at the very back exchanged a glance and gave a bitter smile.

Although the instructor didn't directly announce the rankings for this morning's training, we could tell from the roll call order.

Those who have reached this position are all shrewd and cunning; those who know, know!

They're already at the bottom on just the first day!
