After delivering his one-sentence advertisement, knowing a sum of 100,000 would be credited to his account, Yu Xinghan waved at the camera with a smile and slowly walked off the arena.

Song Hailong coldly watched Yu Xinghan on the giant screen, his eyes betraying no emotion, as if he had foreseen the outcome of this competition.

Song Hailong believed that no one in the entire venue understood Yu Xinghan’s strength better than he did.

“The champion of this physical competition, without a doubt, can only be him.”

“The others are merely vying for second place.”

“Defeating him is by no means something that can be achieved overnight.”

Song Hailong had already 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 a leg as thick as a pillar, carrying terrifying force, swept fiercely toward Yu Xinghan, who was walking toward him.

Yu Xinghan raised his calf and casually caught Song Hailong’s sweeping leg.

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

Yu Xinghan said with a helpless smile, “Too direct! How many times have I told you to be more subtle, to conceal your hostility? Such blatant attacks are ineffective against me.”

Song Hailong said without yielding, “I have no problem with ambushing you, but I want to defeat you fair and square.”

In the audience stands.

Gang Shan exclaimed in amazement, “Yu Xinghan…such a powerful physique! Is he really a high school freshman?”

Le Jingchen nodded and said, “After all, he is a Golden Core disciple. I heard he is also the closed-door disciple of Stellar Fire Perfected Master, and the investment he receives is not something ordinary students can compare to.”

“I’m afraid that this time, he will be the champion of every stage of the high school physical competition.”

After watching Yu Xinghan’s performance in the previous stage, Le Jingchen understood one thing.

The champion of this physical competition was undoubtedly Yu Xinghan.

Therefore, what he had to do next was to minimize the impact of the body refining techniques on Yu Xinghan, strengthen the public’s impression of him as a Golden Core disciple, and preferably attribute all of his victories to Stellar Fire Perfected Master.

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

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the giant screen with some unwillingness, where Yu Xinghan’s wonderful competition footage was still being replayed.

“Damn it, this Golden Core disciple is really a monster!”

“Before my physical strength breaks through level 5.0, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to beat him.”

“But…”

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu, who was beside her, and said, “Yu, I think you have a chance to win him.”

Zhang Yu took a sip of water and said with a smile, “Really? I’m afraid only two people in the entire venue would believe that.”

Bai Zhenzhen asked in confusion, “Oh? Who else has such unique vision as I do?”

Zhang Yu laughed and said, “Of course, it’s myself.”

The two smiled at each other, and Bai Zhenzhen continued, “That guy feels like he has eyes in the back of his head. That’s how he got a big advantage in the first stage. Otherwise, he might not have been able to lead us by so much.”

“But if we really compete in absolute strength and speed, although his physical strength is a bit higher than yours, I feel that his control is not as strong as yours…”

Level 10 Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Manual, level 10 Body Strengthening Thirty-Six Styles, level 10 Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand, level 10 Crimson Marrow Primordial Qi, and level 10 Excavation Palm, Crane Claw, Racing Car Leg, Elevator Leap…

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He believed that no one on the arena today could be stronger than him in muscle control and physical strength mobilization.

Although his physical strength was 4.95, with his exploitation of physical power, the strength and speed he could unleash were enough to rival, or even surpass, the few students in the arena with physical strength above level 5.0.

He subconsciously touched his heart.

If the competition were a little later, and his heart could keep up with the strength, Zhang Yu would be even more confident that he could defeat Yu Xinghan in a competition of strength and speed.

But right now…

“Not only must I defeat my opponents in the next two competitions, but I must also create a large enough gap to surpass him in total score.”

The pressure was immense.

Zhang Yu took the physical energy potion and seized every minute and second to rest, recovering the energy and strength lost in the previous competition.

He Dayou, who was beside him, rolled his eyes as he listened to the conversation between the two, his mind seemingly mocking their arrogance.

But he said nothing because, no matter how arrogant these two were, their results had already crushed He Dayou.

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

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

Immediately afterward, a circular track appeared in front of everyone.

The third stage of the physical competition was about to begin.

The content of this stage was also very simple, a 5000-meter race, with scores awarded based on the completion time, with a maximum score of 75 points.

Still, no magical power could be used, only pure physical strength. Techniques such as Racing Car Leg and Elevator Leap, which required magical power to support them, were naturally unusable.

In this situation of completely relying on physical strength, pure running was the most efficient way for most people to move.

And 5000 meters was long for ordinary people, but short for high school students, and most of the course could be maintained in a sprint state.

Wang Hai looked at the rules on the giant screen and thought to himself, “The key to this stage is how to unleash the speed of one’s body as much as possible.”

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen attached magical power detection patches and stood behind the starting line in order.

The players who had not entered the top 20 in the previous stage had all been eliminated.

At this moment, only 20 people remained on the track.

Everyone was wearing running shoes and sportswear provided by Ziyun High School to prevent anyone from using immortal techniques in their shoes or clothes to gain good results.

After all, this was a physical competition that tested pure physical strength. Doping was allowed, but tampering with shoes or clothes was a serious violation.

Zhang Yu glanced at Song Hailong, Hu Yuntao, Xiong Wenwu… and Yu Xinghan, who were not far from him. He took a deep breath, operated the Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Manual, and cast aside all distracting thoughts.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

Defeat everyone!

The moment he activated the Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Manual, Yu Xinghan suddenly turned his head and looked in Zhang Yu’s direction.

Zhang Yu also seemed to sense something and looked toward Yu Xinghan.

Both of them saw an infinite fighting spirit in each other’s eyes.

At this moment, they instantly understood that the other had also cultivated the Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Manual.

Yu Xinghan smiled slightly and thought to himself, “It seems to be the guy who took third place in the previous stage. He actually knows the Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Manual. That’s right, I heard Senior Sister Li said that she had found a suitable successor here…”

His eyes moved, and Yu Xinghan silently mouthed two words to Zhang Yu.

“Keep up.”

Then he turned his head and looked straight ahead again.

With the command from the broadcast, a total of 20 players tensed all their muscles. The surrounding air seemed to freeze with their held breaths.

The next moment, like twenty cannons firing simultaneously.

With a series of booming sounds, twenty afterimages were left on the track as everyone burst forth.

Amidst the booming sounds, Hu Yuntao was leading the charge!

The demonic descendant student from Red Pagoda High School was now on all fours, his dragon scales standing up one by one with his undulating, lithe muscles, shimmering with a colorful halo.

The posture and habit of running on all fours gave him a huge advantage at the moment of the start. Like a dance in the air…he shot out dozens of meters in one breath, directly leading everyone.

A gale swept over, blowing on Hu Yuntao’s eyes, which were becoming increasingly scarlet due to excited nerves and blood vessels.

“Father! Watch carefully, I will take first place in this stage!”

The reprimand from his father after the last martial arts competition made Hu Yuntao feel a strong sense of unwillingness, shame, and fear.

The fear of working and being expelled from the clan had been lingering in his mind for the past two months, urging him to squeeze out the potential in his body again and again.

Whenever he thought of those ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ who died on the assembly line, Hu Yuntao could always break through the limits of his body in training.

Especially now, he was not fighting alone.

His father’s essence blood, after being adapted by the bodies of his brothers and sisters, 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 sisters flowing in his body, like a ball of fire, making his body burst out with terrifying power.

His feet stepped on the track, creating a cloud of air.

“I can win!”

“The first place in this stage…”

Just as Hu Yuntao was running faster and faster, and the confidence in his heart was burning stronger and stronger with the fire-like blood, a shadow suddenly covered his vision.

A male voice came from his side, “Little kitty, you started pretty fast.”

“What?” Hu Yuntao turned his head sharply and saw Yu Xinghan like a shooting star, directly surpassing him, who was advancing at full speed, and constantly widening the distance between them.

“This guy!” Hu Yuntao burst out with a roar, his dragon blood seeming to boil, and with the heat rising from his body, he accelerated again toward Yu Xinghan.

He seemed to feel countless brothers and sisters in the boiling dragon blood in his body shouting to him.

“Run!”

“Run, Yuntao!”

“Run out of the factory!”

It was as if the factory door had opened behind him, and if he was a little slower, he would be swallowed by the endless darkness of the door.

But what made Hu Yuntao feel extremely desperate was that Yu Xinghan was getting farther and farther away from him as he accelerated madly.

The other party was like the real stars in the sky, no matter how hard he tried, how hard he fought, he could hardly touch even a trace.

And continuous crazy acceleration disrupted his original rhythm, coupled with the weight and wind resistance brought by his already large body… All of this made his physical strength consumed wildly, and his speed began to slow down slightly.

At this moment, another gust of wind swept past.

Song Hailong, Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Le Mulan had all surpassed him one after another.

Hu Yuntao looked at this scene in horror, only feeling that he was obviously running forward madly, but as several people surpassed him in succession, he seemed to be constantly retreating, retreating into the factory door.

And the factory door had unknowingly transformed into a huge dragon’s mouth… to completely swallow him.
