After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Became That Omega - Chapter 16

The middle-aged man looked at them with satisfaction when not a single person left.

Perhaps only a few of them would remain in the end, but at least right now, it still showed that Yun City University’s students were quite motivated.

“Although your choice moves me very much, there is still another assessment among you.”

“Only those who pass will be selected to enter the nationwide training.”

“Even if you aren’t chosen this time, don’t be discouraged. The fact that you can sit here already means you’re outstanding.”

The middle-aged man offered a few more words of comfort, then left first.

Nie Yun stood at the very front of the conference room, expressionless. “Everyone, go directly to the field and assemble.”

Perhaps because Nie Yun’s aura was too terrifying, not a single student spoke. They only stood up silently and walked toward the door.

When Sang Yuan passed by Nie Yun, he felt as if Nie Yun’s gaze had lingered on him.

His beast-like intuition made him quicken his pace toward the exit. This officer always gave him a strange feeling.

Without changing expression, Ji Tang blocked Nie Yun’s line of sight. His gaze met Nie Yun’s briefly before they both looked away.

He had already noticed earlier that Nie Yun’s gaze had been falling, intentionally or unintentionally, on this roommate of his.

Although he did not know the reason, Sang Yuan’s attitude was rather clear. As his roommate, Ji Tang naturally would not sit by and do nothing.

Sang Yuan, who had only become an Omega not long ago, did not know that an Alpha’s attention toward an Omega could be far more naked than he imagined.

On the field, fifty students lined up according to height. Among Omegas, Sang Yuan was undoubtedly tall, but when placed among Alphas, he could only be considered average.

The students selected this time were almost all Alphas. He was the only Omega disguised as a Beta.

Sang Yuan stood in the first row. Nie Yun’s gaze swept over him, then he pointed toward the obstacle training ground ahead and spoke in a deep voice. “Ten people per group. The winner will be whoever passes through the obstacles the fastest.”

The obstacle training ground was on the right side of the field. It was an area specially marked out for soldiers to train.

Nie Yun led the fifty students toward the obstacle training ground.

The four-hundred-meter obstacle course was something even soldiers feared at the mere mention of it.

There was a saying: better to run ten thousand meters than four hundred meters.

It referred precisely to obstacle training.

It was something people both loved and hated.

When Nie Yun brought the students over, there were still people training there.

Seeing the students arrive, they all withdrew from the training area.

Nie Yun casually pointed at one soldier. “You demonstrate.”

“Yes!”

The soldier was wearing a camouflage short-sleeved shirt. He did not need to warm up either, since he had already been training here just now.

He completed the four-hundred-meter obstacle course in one smooth go, making the students watch without blinking.

A hint of excitement flashed through Sang Yuan’s eyes. Interesting. Although he had never played with this thing before, he had done something similar at the martial arts school in the past.

For martial artists, training was much harsher than this.

At least, in Sang Yuan’s past, there had never been a time when his body was not covered in bruises.

Every day, he would go home grimacing in pain. Sang Lan would complain with her mouth, but she would still keep a stern face as she carried over the medicine bottle and applied medicine for him.

For an instant, Sang Yuan was distracted. Ever since he had come to this world, he did not know how his family was doing.

“You all saw that? Follow the steps he used just now and complete the four-hundred-meter obstacle course. Those with the shortest times will be selected.” Nie Yun’s cold voice interrupted Sang Yuan’s thoughts.

“Who’s first?” Nie Yun looked at the fifty students.

“I’ll go.” Sang Yuan and Ji Tang’s voices sounded at the same time. The two looked at each other, both seeing sparks in the other’s eyes.

Nie Yun had not expected two people to step forward at the same time either. He understood Ji Tang relatively well. This was just right—he could see how much Sang Yuan differed from Ji Tang.

“Then the two of you will go together.” Nie Yun looked deeply at Sang Yuan. “Everyone after this will also compete in pairs.”

Sang Yuan and Ji Tang stood in front of the obstacle course.

“Please give me your guidance. Don’t hold back,” Sang Yuan said.

His words made the corner of Ji Tang’s mouth pull into a faint smile. “Don’t worry. I definitely won’t go easy on you.”

The whistle sounded, and in the next second, the two of them immediately shot forward.

The watching students let out sounds of amazement. Sang Yuan and Ji Tang’s performance was truly beyond their expectations.

The two were extremely fast. When they encountered obstacles, it was as if they were walking on flat ground, without the slightest pause.

Even the soldiers standing nearby, who had not left, revealed surprised expressions.

One had to know that the four-hundred-meter obstacle course was not simple even for them.

These two were merely freshmen, yet they performed so excellently. No matter how they looked at it, it felt like a slap to the face.

One minute and thirty seconds later, the two returned to the finish line without their faces reddening or their breathing growing uneven.

It was as if the obstacle training just now had been nothing more than a warm-up to them.

Sang Yuan and Ji Tang arrived almost at the same time. This made Nie Yun, who knew Sang Yuan’s identity, somewhat surprised.

He had thought that as an Omega, even if Sang Yuan had some martial arts foundation, he would still fall behind Ji Tang no matter what.

This made him very suspicious that Ji Tang might have held back, but their completion time told him that he had not.

Nie Yun waved for the two of them to stand to the side. These two had already been confirmed for selection, but the list could only be announced after everyone else had completed the assessment.

Although the other students were not as fast as Sang Yuan and Ji Tang, they stumbled through it well enough.

After all, it was their first time encountering obstacle training. For beginners, their performance was quite good.

It was only because Sang Yuan and Ji Tang had been such shining examples at the front that the remaining people looked somewhat lacking by comparison.

Nie Yun watched the entire process with a frown almost the whole time.

He also realized this problem. Sang Yuan and Ji Tang had pulled far ahead of the other students. Had he known this earlier, he should have let them compete last.

“The list will be announced tomorrow morning. Dismissed in place.” Nie Yun threw down those words and hurried away.

He had recorded everyone’s performance in his mind. Now he needed to form a report and submit it.

“Will the later training take us away from Yun City?” Sang Yuan asked curiously as he walked beside Ji Tang.

Ji Tang hesitated for a moment, but still answered, “Yes.”

At least, according to the information he had received, it would.

Based on today’s assessment, Sang Yuan would definitely be selected. Letting him know a little in advance was not a problem.

“Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve ever been anywhere outside Yun City.” Sang Yuan sighed.

The original owner was a local from Yun City. One reason he had chosen Yun City University was because it was close to home.

The original owner had been to other places before. As a child who was rather doted on at home, his parents would take him out to travel every holiday.

But Sang Yuan had only taken over the original owner’s body for a short two months.

Those two months had been spent adapting to the world inside this book, dealing with the problems the original owner had left behind, and persisting in training his combat strength back up. He had not thought about going out to have fun at all.

Ji Tang, however, misunderstood what Sang Yuan meant.

He thought Sang Yuan had never gone out because of family reasons, and a trace of pity could not help rising in his heart. He thought that in the future, he could take him out more and let him see more of the world.

This beautiful misunderstanding was something neither of them knew about right now.
