Moreover, He Nanbei was astonishingly fast and was known in the army as the "Prince of Sprints."
Just how fast was his speed?
The world record for the 100 meters was held by Jamaica's famous sprinter Bolt, at 9.58 seconds.
He Nanbei's best record was 10.35 seconds.
Less than a minute behind the world's best, that was an astonishing speed indeed!
The spirits of the crowd were lifted from their previous dejection, and they became full of fighting spirit.
They took turns coming up to He Nanbei to pump him up.
He Chuang patted his shoulder, "Go for it, you have to make us at the Northern Military Camp proud!"
If the entire military camp got outperformed by a woman, that story getting out would be laughable!
"Give it your all, show her what you're made of!"
"Use your real strength, make her feel ashamed!"
"We're counting on you, beat her in seconds..."
He Nanbei clenched his fist, full of pride and ambition, "Don't worry, brothers, I definitely won't let you down today!"
