Chapter 3644: Better Than Them
Editor: Henyee Translations
The students from the United States Naval Academy inadvertently increased the pressure on the students from all over the world. Although only four students were sent as representatives, they cooperated with the students from West Point. Under the lead of the naval students, the group of 16 students maintained their speed at the same level. There was no big gap between them.
The tactics used by the American students complemented each other. Most countries used the strong to lead while the weak were left to chase after them. The result of using such tactics was that the strongest would run far away while the weakest would fall far behind. It was fine if it was just a difference of a few hundred meters. However, when it came to climbing, the disadvantages of such tactics would make themselves known. The students at the back wouldn’t be able to see their own students at all!
Jiang Yang looked at a female student from a certain Eastern European country who nearly fell several times while carrying the log. Then, he looked at the speed and cooperation between the Chinese students. He felt extremely fortunate and said to his comrades beside him, “Fortunately, we listened to Ye Jian’s tactics and didn’t let those with strong stamina run at the front. If not, we’d have the same problem as the other countries.”
“Phew… Phew… Phew…” A student who was running rhythmically nodded. His breathing was a little rapid as he replied, “That’s right. Ye Jian’s tactics are very useful. Let’s just listen to her arrangements for the following matches.”
On the other side of the student was a student from the navy academy. He panted and said, “I finally understand why Instructor Li would always ask Ye Jian if she had any better suggestions. She’s much more reliable than us.”
“She’s not just reliable. Sometimes, she can even make decisions! I really admire her. She’s the female student I admire the most.” The student took a deep breath and adjusted his rapid breathing frequency. He raised his head and looked at the slender backs of the eight people running in front of him. Tears seeped into his red eyes. There was deep admiration in his gaze. Ye Jian was smart and resourceful. He needed to keep in touch with her after the competition.
However, Jiang Yang remembered what happened during the Spring Festival. Ye Jian, who killed someone, frightened him until his hands and feet turned weak. At that time, Ye Jian was unbelievably calm. Li Xiang even secretly said, “When Ye Jian killed the target, I felt that it wasn’t her first time. She was too straightforward.”
Li Xiang thought so. As for him… he thought so too.
After interacting with her for a few days, he felt that Ye Jian was very mysterious. She didn’t look like a second-year student at all. He could tell from Instructor Li’s attitude.
Although they were cousins, Instructor Li didn’t take special care of Ye Jian because of this. He treated her equally. However, when it came to making decisions and strategies, Instructor Li would ask Ye Jian for her advice. Also, Ye Jian would often get to the main points when the other students couldn’t.
Ye Jian… might not be an ordinary student.
She was just a second-year student!
They were all in their third and fourth years. Some of them had been sent to the grass-roots companies and had participated in many competitions. Some of them had even participated in actual combat exercises. As for Ye Jian, she would only start learning at a deeper level this semester.
On that day, the three male students left the port under her protection. The entire sneak attack was managed by Ye Jian alone. At that time, they all listened to Ye Jian’s arrangements. That meant that subconsciously, they felt that they should listen to Ye Jian’s arrangements at that moment.
Why did they feel the urge to listen to her?
Because Ye Jian was more experienced and stronger than them!
