Chapter 2082: Chapter 2082: Entering Team 1's Requirement

“Lin Yi has injuries; will the experiment affect his body?” Ning Che asked.

“Where are the injuries? Let me take a look.”

Ning Che reached out and lifted Lin Yi’s shirt, revealing the wounds underneath.

Li Hang was a bit surprised. Lin Yi’s reputation had spread throughout the Central Guards Brigade.

For someone to have caused him such significant harm during a mission meant the opponent must have been extremely skilled.

But Li Hang quickly regained his composure and examined Lin Yi’s injuries.

“The wounds have already started to scab and heal; it should be fine,” Li Hang assured.

“As long as you avoid any intense physical activity, there shouldn’t be any issues.”

“That’s a relief.”

Li Hang nodded and looked at Lin Yi.

“Team Leader Lin, I’ll go ahead and prepare the equipment and instruments. It would be best if you could arrange your tasks so that no one disturbs you before dawn tomorrow.”

“No problem.”

After a brief exchange, Li Hang left.

Lin Yi and Ning Che, not wanting to wait idly, returned to the Central Guards Brigade base to check on the ongoing trials and pass the time.

Their arrival once again stirred up the trial candidates.

Most of the attention was directed toward Lin Yi.

However, among the crowd, Ling Han remained silent.

Her gaze that was fixed on Lin Yi was filled with complicated emotions.

The person she had once looked down upon was actually the leader of Team 1. The sense of superiority she had felt crumbled in an instant, leaving her with a whirlwind of conflicting feelings.

As Lin Yi and Ning Che arrived, the first trial session had already reached its midpoint.

“How are their results? Any outstanding performances?” Ning Che asked.

“There are a few decent ones, but none that meet the standards of Team 1,” Qiu Yuluo replied.

“There aren’t any D-class candidates this time, which is a bit disappointing compared to last time.”

“Lin Yi isn’t solely focused on strength, though.”

“Yeah, but either D-class skills or a D-cup is needed,” Qiu Yuluo quipped.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Yi, “…”

Feeling bored, Lin Yi glanced at the trial results list. Ling Han’s performance was decent.

With some tasks still pending, it was too early to judge her final standing.

However, her results were only slightly above average, leaving her chances of joining Team 4 unclear.

“Team Leader Lin!”

Just then, a short-haired woman raised her hand.

“I want to know, what are the conditions to join Team 1? Do we really need to be D-cup?”

Lin Yi, “???”

Lin Yi’s gaze shifted to Qiu Yuluo and the others.

“Who started this rumor? My reputation is being ruined here.”

“Don’t look at me,” Qiu Yuluo shrugged.

“Some of these candidates have relatives in the Central Guards Brigade, so maybe they let something slip.”

“Seriously?”

At that moment, a long-haired woman raised her hand.

“Team Leader Lin, I’m a natural E-cup. Does that mean I can skip the trials and join Team 1 directly?”

E-cup, natural?

You’re certainly gifted.

“Ahem…”

Lin Yi cleared his throat and addressed the group seriously.

“What you’ve heard is just a joke. All four teams in the Central Guards Brigade belong to the combat unit, and the standards for personal capability are extremely high. So, it’s your skills that matter the most. Physical attributes are just a bonus.”

Lin Yi’s response aligned with what the group had expected.

After all, if all else was equal, who wouldn’t want a team member with a good physique?

“Team Leader Lin, I heard that Team 1 has recruited E-class newcomers before. So we’re curious, what are the actual recruitment standards for Team 1?”

The group’s curiosity temporarily halted the trials, and Ning Che, Qiu Yuluo, and Tao Cheng watched Lin Yi with interest.

They were eager to see how he would handle the situation.

“As for the standards…”

Lin Yi didn’t joke around this time. He thought carefully before replying.

“If you’re over thirty and haven’t reached D-class, your trial score needs to reach at least 90% of my trial results. If you’re between twenty-seven and thirty, your score should reach 85%. For those under twenty-seven, you need to hit 80% of my score.”

Upon hearing this, the candidates exchanged glances, then smiled.

The vast majority of people who took the test this time were under the age of thirty.

Even Ling Han was only twenty-nine.

According to Lin Yi’s criteria, they all stood a chance!

The man who had asked the question earlier raised his hand again.

“Team Leader Lin, what was your trial score?”

“I’ll find it for you,” Tao Cheng said, scrolling through his phone.

“For the first agility test, Team Leader Lin’s score was 1,600 balls.”

Gasp…

The sound of the group collectively sucking in their breath was loud and clear.

Although they hadn’t completed all the trials yet, many had already done the agility test.

“Ten tennis ball launchers can fire a total of 1,600 balls. Did Team Leader Lin dodge every single one?!”

“Yes, he passed that trial with a perfect score.”

Everyone’s jaws dropped. Their expressions were the same.

The best anyone in their group had managed was dodging 902 balls, while Lin Yi had dodged 1,600.

Converting that into a percentage, it meant their best result was only 56% of his score.

It was far from meeting his requirement.

Ling Han’s beautiful brows furrowed deeply.

This score was beyond her reach.

She had only dodged 878 balls in total—far too few.

Seeing their expressions, Tao Cheng figured it was good to give them a sense of the challenge ahead.

“Don’t think that Lin Yi only dodged 1,600 balls because that’s all there were. If there had been more, his score could have been even more impressive.”

The group’s expressions grew even more solemn.

This was almost superhuman!

“Not only that, but Team Leader Lin also did thirty reps in each of the squat (200 kg), deadlift (150 kg), and bench press (140 kg). He stopped after breaking the Central Guards Brigade’s records, but if he had kept going, his results would have been even higher. You should each consider your own limits and see if you can meet his standards.”

“This…this…”

The group was left speechless.

These exercises were ones they regularly practiced, but for most of them, reaching fifteen reps was challenging enough, let alone thirty.

“Team Leader Lin, isn’t it a bit too rigid to judge by these metrics alone?” Wang Chong asked.

“In real missions, what matters is combat experience and the ability to adapt to unexpected situations. I don’t think these trials reflect everything.”

“What do you mean? Are you suggesting a practice match?” Lin Yi asked with a smile.
