Chapter 1234: Individual Trial

"Uh…" Lin Yi paused.

"Don"t misunderstand. I"m not saying that he"s bad. I just feel that the trial conditions here are a little too restrictive. When the trial officially begins tomorrow, it"ll be easier to do a more comprehensive a.s.sessment."

"You are here with Old Lu, so you should be aware of my grandson"s level. Don"t you think it"s enough?"

"I naturally believe in his level, but it doesn"t mean that he"s good enough. If he has shortcomings in other aspects, he"ll be at a disadvantage when carrying out missions in the future."

"Alright, then we"ll partic.i.p.ate in the official trial. However, unless something changes, he probably won"t join your Team 1."

Sui Jizhou"s face was filled with anger.

He was asked by Lu Beichen to partic.i.p.ate in the trial. Now, his people had actually played such a lowly trick. They were too underhanded.

"This doesn"t matter much. Right now, we are choosing you all. After pa.s.sing the trial, the choice will be back in your hands. Which team you join after that is completely up to you."

Lu Beichen stood at the side and glanced at the Sui family. Then, he glanced at his old comrade and smiled. He did not say a word.

Back when they were fighting together, he had been a stubborn old man. After so many years, he had not changed at all.

"I can"t say anything at this point. This will depend on how the Sui Family deals with this matter."

Sui Jizhou did not respond. He turned to look at Sui Qiang and said,

"Let"s go. There"s no need to train here."

Hearing Sui Jizhou"s voice, Sui Qiang stopped what he was doing. Then, he took off the weight on his body and jogged towards them.

"Grandpa, there shouldn"t be any problems, right?" Sui Qiang said with a smile.

Although he was here to partic.i.p.ate in the trial, Sui Qiang did not take it to heart at all.

He had reached D-cla.s.s, and the team leader of the Central Guards Brigade was also only at this level. He was only here to partic.i.p.ate in the trial. After all, he was already at the level of a team leader. It would be crazy for the latter to still question his ability.

"This team leader doesn"t find your level up to par, so he won"t be preemptively pa.s.sing you. You"ll have to partic.i.p.ate in the formal trial tomorrow."

"Isn"t that a bit much? How can there be anything wrong with my level?"

Lin Yi, "..."

"Do these two have a problem with their heads?

"I never even said anything like that, did I?"

"I"ll explain one last time. I"m not critical of your level. I only asked you to partic.i.p.ate in the official training because I wanted to gauge your overall abilities, such as your agility, strength test, and cardiological function. It has nothing to do with your level."

"What"s the difference?" Sui Qiang asked.

"I understand your situation. With my current level, I could even take up the role of a team leader. Even though that"s the case, why are you downplaying my abilities?"

"Although you"ve reached D-cla.s.s, your level is far from what"s needed for a team leader. Those who are too arrogant can"t survive here. You shouldn"t be so arrogant."

Sui Qiang"s expression was not very good.

"I think you"re the arrogant one."

Sui Qiang examined Lin Yi from head to toe and said, "I"m not quite sure how you became a team leader at this age, but I think you should put yourself in the right place. Don"t look down on others. The overall level in Yanjing is indeed high, but other places are not lacking either. Although you"re a team leader, I believe that if we were to really compete, you might not necessarily be better than me."

Lin Yi scratched his head and looked at Lu Beichen.

"Someone is questioning my standards. What do you think I should do about this? Can I still be the team leader?"

"I can"t interfere in this matter. You can decide what you want to do yourself." Lu Beichen said.

"You can simply choose not to take him in, or you can choose to spar with him. There"s no point in wasting your breath."

"I think Old Master Lu has said enough. We"ll know each other"s exact level after sparring a bit," said Sui Qiang"s younger brother, Sui Xiang.

"There"s no need to spar. Old Lu and I have a life-and-death relationship. He saved my life back then, so I"ll do whatever he says. We can just partic.i.p.ate in the official trial tomorrow."

"Grandpa, why did you let go of such a good opportunity?" Sui Xiang asked in confusion.

"With your brother"s standards, he should be on par with this guy, but he"s still the team leader of the Central Guards Brigade. If it ends up in a tie, the result will embarra.s.s the team leader, which will indirectly embarra.s.s Old Lu. We shouldn"t do this."

Sui Xiang nodded thoughtfully. He felt that his grandfather was right.

He was indeed much inferior when it came to understanding the ways of the world.

"No need for all the trouble. I called you all here today to affirm your grandson"s skills. So, I"d like to invite him to join Team 1 as a special addition. There"s no need to be concerned about anyone"s pride."

Lu Beichen stepped aside, making way for Lin Yi.

"He is the team leader of Team 1. Let"s have a trial right here and see the final results. What do you all think?"

"You"ve put it that way, so I won"t stand on ceremony."

"You old man, we"ve known each other for over sixty years. Do you think I don"t know you well enough? Have you decided to start playing tricks on me now?"

Sui Jizhou laughed. "Then let"s do it."

Lu Beichen glanced at Lin Yi.

"Are you okay with this?"

"I have no issues doing a trial alone now, but there"s no equipment here. It"s a little difficult to conduct a thorough test."

"Isn"t that simple?" Sui Qiang said with a buzz.

"I"ll compete with you in tomorrow"s trial program. Tell me what exactly you want to compete in. If I win, it means that my level is enough. If that"s the case, you should have no issues with me joining."

"Brother, if you beat him, it means that you"re qualified to be a team leader," said Sui Xiang.

Lu Beichen laughed.

Young calves were really not afraid of tigers. They actually dared to say such things.

"That"s true, but there are rules in every place. It wasn"t easy for them to climb to this position, so they can"t give it up…"

"Stop stop stop."

Before Sui Qiang could finish, Lin Yi stopped him.

"Stop trying to provoke me. I won"t fall for it," Lin Yi said.

"By sheer luck, everyone is here today, so I"ll make things clear. If you can beat me, the position of team leader will be all yours. This is a serious role, so naturally, the capable should hold it."

Lin Yi"s words surprised the three members of the Sui Family.

Although this young man was not old, he had a strong backbone.

He was indeed quite something.

"Then it"s a deal."

"Yeah."

"Tell me what we"re competing in. I"ll listen to your arrangements."

"There are a total of four formal trials. They will test endurance, strength, cardio, and logical thinking." Lin Yi said.

"Because the conditions don"t allow us to do all the trials, let"s just conduct the first two tests. As long as you beat me in either of the tests, the position of team leader will be yours…"
