Although Ralph was still sore, the result had been decided. He had only gotten second place this time.
Soon, the second segment of the competition was about to begin. This time, the competition was the rapid crossing of the obstacle track.
Ralph was good at crossing obstacles quickly.
In the past, he always got first place.
Also, there was a huge gap between him and the person who got second place every time. He would always leave his opponents far behind. Because of this, Ralph was full of confidence in this competition.
It was Wright’s first time participating in such a competition so naturally he didn’t have anything to compare to.
But Wright believed that he had no problem in overcoming the obstacle track.
It couldn’t be said that he was very good, but he definitely wouldn’t be bad either.
There were a total of eight obstacles in the obstacle track.
Bang!
With a gunshot from the instructor, all the soldiers charged forward.
The first obstacle was a wooden bridge.
This obstacle was not difficult, but once one fell from it, there was a risk of death.
The bottom of the wooden bridge was filled with barbs. This obstacle was a test of the soldiers’ balance.
It was also the first stage of the tactical training camp that had to be passed. If they lost their footing and fell, it could mean death and they would be eliminated forever.
Under the charge of every soldier, they carefully crossed the wooden bridge.
The match went on for half a minute. Fortunately, all the soldiers managed to pass the wooden bridge. No one fell on the barbs.
Soon, all of the soldiers arrived at the second obstacle.
The second obstacle was a web. The web here was five meters tall, and each rope was tied with a few thorns. If one was careless when grabbing it, they would be easily hurt.
Ralph was already used to the height of the spiderweb. He did not care about the thorns. It was not difficult for him to pass quickly.
However, Wright had some difficulty facing this spiderweb. He had never climbed a five-meter-tall spiderweb before.
Every step he took on the spiderweb seemed heavy and intentional. His rough hands gripped the rope tightly, as if fearing that he would fall off if he didn’t hold on to it tightly.
By this time, Ralph had rolled over to the other side of the spiderweb. In comparison, Ralph was much faster. He was as swift as lightning and didn’t seem to be slowing down.
Seeing that Ralph was almost going to pass him, Wright kept his pace. He was slow and managed to climb to the top of the web without any accidents. From the top, he jumped hastily, and chased after Ralph.
The soldiers who were behind also followed closely behind. One by one, they crossed the spiderweb and charged towards the third obstacle.
Ralph was the first soldier to enter the third obstacle. To pass through this obstacle, they had to crawl through the mud under a large, thorny net.
Ralph’s agile body quickly laid down under the net as he supported himself with his elbows in the mud. He crawled forward and used his legs to push forward. The mud splashed all over his body.
The area of mud was twenty meters long in distance. Only when Ralph got to the middle did Wright and the other soldiers finally enter the third obstacle.
Wright’s body was rather burly, and he was obviously not used to crawling on the ground.
Fortunately, his hands were strong enough to carry his entire body forward.
In the muddy water, every soldier moved like a caterpillar in their military uniforms. They did not look out of place at all.
Wright crawled forward, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. In order to shorten his distance from Ralph, he used [Flurry].
The effect of the skill was also very obvious. After the explosive power, his speed was obviously much faster.
Soon, Wright got out of the twenty-meter-long mud area.
Ralph was in first place and Wright was in second place.
Following which, they arrived at the fourth obstacle.
The fourth obstacle required them to climb up a rope hung high in the sky. Multiple ropes were hung under a tall scaffolding. After climbing up the rope, one could directly enter the fifth obstacle.
These ropes were about ten meters long and three centimeters thick. They were arranged vertically at ninety degrees.
Ralph was the first to reach the rope. He grabbed it and kept climbing.
By this time, his head was already sweating. After passing the first three obstacles, Ralph seemed to have difficulty climbing the rope.
On Wright’s side, after grabbing onto the rope, he exerted all his strength to climb and instantly pulled his body up. The strength in his hands was great, and he seemed to have no difficulty performing during this obstacle.
Just as Ralph was about to reach the top, Wright caught up with him. It was obvious that Ralph was much slower than Wright for this obstacle.
After they reached the top, the soldiers behind them also swarmed over. Fortunately, Ralph and Wright got to the ropes faster. Otherwise, they would have been slowed down by the crowd if they all climbed up together,
In terms of the rules, the instructor had already made it very clear before the competition that they could not cheat in any way during the competition. If cheating was discovered, one would be immediately eliminated.
However, some of the soldiers thought they would be lucky and wouldn’t get caught. When they were all gathered together, some of them cheated and pushed the soldiers beside them.
After five minutes.
Everyone had already reached the eighth obstacle. The eighth obstacle was also the last obstacle. This level required two soldiers to work together, and so the help of a teammate was required.
In other words, everyone would be ranked together with their teammates.
This was a test of their cooperation skill.
After the first seven obstacles, Wright was the first to arrive at the eighth obstacle. Due to Ralph’s lack of stamina, Ralph fell behind Wright.
This obstacle was a cliff. On the cliff, there were neatly arranged wooden stakes. They were expected to climb down the cliff.
There was a distance of five meters between each wooden stake on the cliff. It was impossible for a single person to climb down the cliff with their hands and feet stretched out. It required the cooperation of two people to help each other through the wooden stakes so they could safely descend.
Otherwise, it was extremely dangerous as a person would easily fall off.
Wright and Ralph, who had reached the edge of the cliff, stopped for a moment.
Ralph looked at the wooden stakes on the edge of the cliff. They were so far apart, he didn’t know what to do, so he told Wright.
“Hey, you go first.”
Wright glanced at Ralph and spoke indignantly.
“Why don’t you go? What’s there to be afraid of?”
However, just as Wright was about to climb down the cliff, he couldn’t help but tremble. The two wooden stakes were five meters apart, and he couldn’t reach them even if he stretched out his legs.
So he climbed back up and spoke to Ralph.
“No, you go first.”
Even though this was a competition, neither of them dared to go alone.
Seeing that the soldiers behind were about to catch up, Wright and Ralph began to panic.
At this moment, Wright suggested.
“Ralph, let’s go down together. One of us will be at the top, the other at the bottom. The one at the top will hold the stake, and the one below will hold onto the foot of the one at the top. That way we can reach the next stake.”
