After Yu Xinghan finished his one-sentence advertisement, knowing that he would receive a 100,000 yuan advertising fee, he smiled, waved at the camera, and slowly walked off the field.

Song Hailong stared coldly at Yu Xinghan on the big screen, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, as if he had already anticipated the outcome of this match.

Song Hailong believed that no one in the entire arena knew better than him how strong Yu Xinghan was.

"There is no doubt that he can be the winner of this Physical Competition."

"The others are just vying for second place."

"Defeating him will not be something that can be done overnight."

Song Hailong had made up his mind that whether it took a year or two, he would definitely defeat this strongest opponent in history during his high school years.

The next moment, his figure flashed, and his thigh, as thick as a pillar, swept fiercely towards Yu Xinghan, who was walking towards him, with terrifying force.

Bang!

Yu Xinghan raised her lower leg and casually caught Song Hailong's sweeping leg.

As their forces collided, a gust of wind exploded between them.

Yu Xinghan smiled helplessly, "That's too direct. I've told you so many times to be more subtle and hide your hostility. Such a blatant attack won't work on me."

Song Hailong retorted without backing down, "I have no problem attacking you, but I want to defeat you fair and square."

In the audience seats.

Gang Shan exclaimed in amazement, "Yu Xinghan... what an incredible physique! Is he really a first-year high school student?"

Le Jingchen nodded and said, "After all, he is Golden Core Disciple, and I heard he is also the last disciple of Spark True Person. The investment he receives is incomparable to that of ordinary students."

"It's likely that he'll be the champion of every round in this first-year high school Physical Competition."

After watching Yu Xinghan's performance in the previous round, Le Jingchen understood something.

This time, Yu Xinghan is undoubtedly the champion of the Physical Competition.

Therefore, what he needs to do next is to downplay the influence of Yu Xinghan's Body Tempering techniques as much as possible, strengthen the public's impression of him as Golden Core Disciple, and ideally attribute all of the opponent's victories to Spark True Person.

On the other side, in the rest area of Songyang High School.

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the big screen with some reluctance, where the exciting match footage of Yu Xinghan was still being replayed.

"Damn, this Golden Core Disciple is truly freakish."

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance to beat him until my Physical Strength breaks through Level 0 5.0."

"But..."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu beside her and said, "Yu Zi, I think you have a chance to beat him."

Zhang Yu chuckled as he drank his water, "Really? I'm afraid only two people in the whole place would believe me like that."

Bai Zhenzhen asked in surprise, "Oh? Who else has such a discerning eye as me?"

Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Of course it's myself."

The two exchanged a smile, Bai Zhenzhen continued, "That guy seems to have some kind of backstab, which is why he gained such a big advantage in the first round. Otherwise, he might not have been so far ahead of us."

"But if we're really talking about absolute strength and speed, while his Physical Strength is slightly higher than yours, I don't think his control is as strong as yours..."

Level 10 Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement Art, Level 10 Body Tempering Thirty-Six Forms, Level 10 Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand, Level 10 Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, and also Level 10 Excavation Palm, Crane Claw, Sports Car Legs, Elevator Leap...

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He believed that no one on the field today could surpass him in muscle control and physical strength.

Although his Physical Strength is 4.95, with his mastery of physical power, the strength and speed he can unleash are comparable to, or even surpass, those students in the arena whose Physical Strength is above Level 0.

He subconsciously touched his heart.

If the match had been held a little later, and Zhang Yu's heart had been stronger enough to keep up, Zhang Yu would have been more confident in defeating Yu Xinghan in a contest of strength and speed.

But now...

"Not only do we need to win the next two games, but we also need to create a large enough gap to surpass them in total points."

The pressure was overwhelming.

Zhang Yu swallowed the stamina potion in his hand and seized every minute to rest and recover the energy and stamina he had lost in the previous match.

He Dayou to the side, rolled his eyes inwardly as he listened to their conversation, seemingly mocking their arrogance in his mind.

But he didn't say anything, because no matter how arrogant these two were, their achievements had already completely overshadowed He Dayou.

In other words, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had He Dayou gained the right to be arrogant in front of He Dayou.

After everyone rested for about half an hour, the walls on the field suddenly shook and began to descend.

Then a circular running track appeared before everyone present.

The third round of the Physical Competition is about to begin.

The content of this event was very simple: a 5000-meter race, with scores based on the athletes' finishing times, and a maximum total score of 75 points.

The competition still cannot use any magical power; it can only rely on pure physical strength. Cultivation Method that require magical power to support, such as the Sports Car Legs" and "Elevator Leap, " are naturally all unusable.

In this situation where everything relies on physical strength, simply running is the most efficient way of moving for most people.

While 5000 meters is a long distance for ordinary people, it is a short distance for high school students, allowing them to maintain a sprinting pace for most of the race.

As Wang Hai watched the rules explained on the big screen, he thought to himself, "The key to this match is how to unleash the full potential of my physical speed."

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen affixed their Magical Power Detection Patch and stood in order behind the starting line. All the contestants who did not make it into the top 20 in the previous round had been eliminated.

There were only 20 people left on the track at that moment.

Everyone wore running shoes and sportswear provided by Ziyun High School to prevent anyone from using any Immortal Dao Technique on their shoes or clothes to achieve good results.

After all, this is Physical Competition that tests pure physical strength. You can use drugs or injections however you want, but tampering with shoes or clothes is a serious violation.

Zhang Yu glanced at Song Hailong, Hu Yuntao, Xiong Wenwu, and Yu Xinghan not far away. He took a deep breath, activated the Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement Art Cultivation Method, and cast aside all distracting thoughts.

Only one thought remained in my mind.

Defeat everyone!

Just as he activated the Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement Art, Yu Xinghan suddenly turned around and looked in Zhang Yu's direction.

Zhang Yu seemed to sense something as well, and also headed towards Yu Xinghan's direction.

Both of them simultaneously saw an immense fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

At that moment, the two of them instantly understood, and the other party also activated the Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement Art.

Yu Xinghan, thinking to himself, "It seems to be the guy who came in third place last time. He actually knows the Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement Art? Right, I heard Senior Apprentice Sister Li mention that she had originally found a suitable successor here..."

With a flick of her eyes, Yu Xinghan mouthed two words softly towards Zhang Yu.

"Keep up."

Then he turned his head and looked straight ahead again.

3!

2!

As the commands came over the loudspeaker, all 20 contestants tensed their muscles, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze as they held their breath.

1!

The next moment, it was as if twenty cannons were firing at once.

With a series of loud bangs, twenty afterimages shot off across the track as everyone burst into the air.

Amidst the deafening roar, the one charging at the very front was none other than Hu Yuntao!

The Demon Descendant student from Red Pagoda High School was now on all fours, his dragon scales standing up with each undulating, powerful muscle, shimmering with a colorful halo.

His posture and habit of running with all four limbs gave him a huge advantage at the start, as if he were flying through the air... He covered a distance of dozens of meters in one breath, directly leading the entire team.

A strong wind rushed in, blowing against Hu Yuntao's eyes, which were becoming increasingly bloodshot due to the excitement of his nerves and blood vessels.

"Father! Just watch closely, I'll take first place in this round!"

Thinking of the reprimand his father gave him after the last Martial Arts Competition, Hu Yuntao felt a strong sense of resentment, shame, and fear.

The fear of working, the fear of Expelled from Son Status... these have been lingering in his mind for the past two months, urging him to squeeze out his inner potential time and time again.

Whenever he thinks of those "brothers" and "Elder Sister" who died on the assembly line, it always motivates Hu Yuntao to push his physical limits during training time and time again.

Especially now, he is no longer fighting alone.

After his brothers and Elder Sister ' bodies adapted to his essence, his father's Essence Blood was injected into his body, triggering the awakening of the Black Dragon Bloodline.

At this moment, Hu Yuntao seemed to feel the blood of his father, brothers, and Elder Sister flowing through his body, like a ball of fire, causing his body to burst forth with terrifying power.

Bang!

His feet kicked up a wave of air on the track.

"I can win!"

"The first step of this stage..."

Just as Hu Yuntao was running faster and faster, his confidence burning brighter and brighter with his fiery blood, a shadow suddenly covered his vision.

A male voice came from beside him. "Little kitty, you've got a pretty fast start."

"What?" Hu Yuntao turned his head sharply and saw Yu Xinghan, like a shooting star, directly pass him as he was moving at full speed, and keep increasing the distance between them.

"This guy!" Hu Yuntao roared, his Dragon Blood boiling as he accelerated towards Yu Xinghan, accompanied by the heat emanating from his body.

He could almost feel countless brothers and sisters shouting to him from the boiling Dragon Blood within his body.

Run!

"Run, Yuntao!"

"Run away from the factory!"

It was as if the factory gates had already opened behind him, and if he had been even a step slower, he would have been swallowed up by this boundless darkness.

But what filled Hu Yuntao with utter despair was that as he accelerated wildly, Yu Xinghan was getting further and further away from him.

The other party was like a real star in the sky; no matter how hard he tried, he could never touch even a trace of it.

The continuous, frantic acceleration disrupted his original rhythm. Coupled with the weight of his already massive body and the wind resistance, all of this caused his stamina to be consumed rapidly, and his speed began to slow down slightly.

Just then, another gust of wind swept by.

Song Hailong, Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, Le Mulan have all surpassed him.

Hu Yuntao watched this scene in horror. He felt as if he was running forward frantically, but as several people passed him one after another, he felt as if he was constantly retreating, retreating into the factory gate.

But the factory gate had somehow transformed into a gigantic dragon's mouth... ready to swallow him whole.
