Even with her Ice Jade Physique, Yue Mulan felt as though her body was about to melt in this moment.

The power within her body, spurred on by the medicinal efficacy, surged forth like molten lava, causing her figure to dart forward like a gust of wind.

Whether it was Purple Cloud High School, Purple Cloud Pharmaceuticals, or the family behind her, they had all invested a substantial amount of resources in this competition and the subsequent publicity for the new technology.

This made Yue Mulan feel a sense of responsibility she had never experienced before.

But she didn’t dislike this burden.

The family’s care, her parents’ investment, her brother’s guidance… all of this had allowed her to live the life of a favored daughter since childhood.

Because her genes and her talents, after repeated testing, were deemed the most outstanding.

Thus, she was constantly taking, constantly receiving care, and constantly being treated with various preferential conditions…

And this had caused Yue Mulan to hold her breath all along.

She hoped to let everyone in the family know, to let those brothers and sisters who had been screened out understand, that she was worthy of these investments.

And with this breakthrough in body refinement technology, and the company’s battlefield extending to the athletic competition, she finally had the opportunity to prove herself to her family and repay her parents.

Yue Mulan’s eyes were fixed on Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu in the distance.

“I originally thought I could get second…”

With a soft whoosh, Yue Mulan had already leaped past Bai Zhenzhen.

“This distance…” Continuing to stare at the figures of Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan, Yue Mulan gritted her teeth in her heart, “It’s too hard to catch up… No, at least I have to try.”

Just then, Yue Mulan suddenly noticed with surprise a shadow appearing beside her.

“Someone’s catching up!”

“Who?”

“Song Hailong?”

But looking at that slender figure, Yue Mulan knew it wasn’t.

“Then that’s… Bai Zhenzhen!”

Seemingly not expecting that the figure she had just leaped past would actually catch up, a hint of surprise flashed across Yue Mulan’s face.

“She can actually keep up!”

On the other side, amidst the rushing wind, Bai Zhenzhen only felt waves of tearing pain coming from many parts of her body, her internal organs bearing enormous pressure.

Unlike Zhang Yu, who relied solely on deep excavation of the flesh, and could unleash his physical power beyond limits without taking much medicine, Bai Zhenzhen, although she had also benefited from the training effect of the Crimson Marrow Primal Qi through her spiritual root during this period, ultimately could not reach Zhang Yu’s level.

Therefore, before the start of the race, she had also given herself 12 needles in a row, which was the source of the pressure felt by her internal organs.

But after accelerating forward together with Zhang Yu, with the continuous acceleration of blood circulation and the full exertion of her muscles, she felt that the scars on her body were becoming more and more painful.

So she did not continue to run at full strength, but chose to maintain her position in third place.

“Anyway, I can’t catch up with Yu Xinghan, so I’ll leave that guy to Yu Zi.”

“I’ll maintain my physical condition, I can’t get injured before the next level…”

But just as Bai Zhenzhen was thinking this, Yue Mulan caught up.

Bai Zhenzhen understood that she could no longer have the idea of conserving her strength.

“Yu Zi will defeat Yu Xinghan and take first place.”

“I have to hold on to third place no matter what, or else I’ll be laughed to death by him.”

Only to see wisps of hot air emerging from Bai Zhenzhen’s body, and as her muscles exerted themselves intensely, the scars on her body gradually turned crimson, as if they had turned into dragon claws, constantly tearing at her body, making her feel a pain like flesh being torn apart.

And feeling Bai Zhenzhen constantly trying to catch up, Yue Mulan desperately accelerated, trying to shake off the other.

“How can I lose to this poor person!”

“I want everyone in the family to know that the money invested in me was not wasted!”

Bai Zhenzhen desperately chased behind Yue Mulan, the two figures sweeping across the track, the raging winds they stirred up colliding with each other, as if about to rub out sparks of lightning.

“I want to make the Top Ten with Yu Zi!”

The crimson scars on Bai Zhenzhen’s body became even more enchanting, as if they were about to drip blood under her full acceleration, and constantly transmitted a pain like flesh about to be torn apart.

“Damn it… I knew I shouldn’t have saved money on painkillers…”

A roar arose in her heart, and Bai Zhenzhen frantically squeezed her increasingly painful body, stubbornly competing with Yue Mulan until the last 500 meters.

The two of them roared in their hearts, their minds filled with only one thought at this moment.

Surpass the other!

I must surpass the other!

The next moment, in Yue Mulan’s shocked gaze, Bai Zhenzhen surpassed her body and returned to third place again.

But when Bai Zhenzhen looked ahead with excitement, she found that Zhang Yu’s speed had slightly slowed down.

Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan, who had been running side by side like two bolts of lightning, had already determined the winner.

In the end, Yu Xinghan crossed the finish line first.

Zhang Yu followed closely behind, stopping with a pale face after crossing the finish line.

Bai Zhenzhen crossed the finish line in third place, running to Zhang Yu with a worried expression: “What’s wrong?”

Zhang Yu shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Zhang Yu felt his heart, and after fighting all the way with Yu Xinghan, with his body being pushed to the limit again and again, he felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster, as if it was about to explode from his chest.

The beating of his heart seemed unable to keep up with Zhang Yu’s coercion of his body, unable to satisfy Zhang Yu’s will to unleash his body.

But in this situation, under the pressure of this fierce battle, and under Zhang Yu’s continued frantic squeeze, he could feel his heart breaking through the transformation that originally needed several days to complete in that short period of time, breaking through its own limits.

And the price was that the heart muscle was worn down and consumed in this competition, causing him to fall behind Yu Xinghan in the final sprint.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “It’s like muscles that break through their limits after training, they need to grow and recover before they can become stronger.”

“Although my heart has broken through under this coercion, it will not become stronger out of thin air, but needs time and resources to repair and grow before it becomes stronger than before…”

At this moment, Zhang Yu only felt an extreme sense of hunger coming from his body.

It was both a need for a large amount of food and nutrients to replenish the consumption of the recent competition, and that his heart, which had completed the breakthrough, was now wailing, emitting a desire for nutrients and a desire to become stronger.

“Breaking through the limit is just breaking through the limit.”

Zhang Yu touched his chest and thought, “True growth is also inseparable from material and energy foundations, my heart wants to become stronger, what it needs now is a large amount of nutrition and food.”

“And then cooperate with the Crimson Marrow Primal Qi to accelerate digestion and growth.”

The level 10 Crimson Marrow Primal Qi gave Zhang Yu powerful metabolism and digestion abilities, which was one of the reasons why his physical strength could skyrocket.

On the other side, Yu Xinghan coldly glanced at Zhang Yu, thinking to himself, “The deceleration at the end, was it because the medicine wore off? Or was it a side effect?”

Although he understood that the other party should have taken some kind of potent drug to keep up with him, being kept up with by a student from Songyang High School, especially one who had been deprived of his Golden Core disciple position, made Yu Xinghan feel a strong sense of displeasure in his heart.

“Looks like I was a little too careless.”

“Next round, I’ll take some medicine too.”

And when the surrounding cameras were pointed at him, Yu Xinghan immediately smiled again: “Everyone remember to pay attention to Xianyuan Group’s demon mimicry muscle surgery next month…”

After leaving the arena, Yu Xinghan connected to a call from Li Xuelian.

Li Xuelian was none other than the daughter of Starfire Zhenren, and also Yu Xinghan’s nominal senior sister.

He heard Li Xuelian ask, “How was the competition?”

Hearing Li Xuelian’s inquiry, Yu Xinghan reported the results to her: “I took first place in the first three rounds.”

“It’s no problem as long as you take first place in the last round.”

“Don’t worry, Senior Sister, I won’t let Xianyuan’s contract have problems.”

“Who else could be the overall champion of this athletic competition besides me?”

In the audience.

Le Jingchen’s expression was a little ugly, only because Le Mulan didn’t even make it into the top three, ranking only fourth.

On the other hand, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, he didn’t know what kind of technology and potent drugs they had used, but they had actually squeezed into the top three.

In particular, Zhang Yu had even run side by side with Yu Xinghan for a while.

Although it was largely related to Yu Xinghan’s active retreat, it was enough to attract countless people’s attention and completely steal Le Mulan’s limelight.

“Songyang High School…”

Thinking that Ziyun High School had been robbed of the limelight by Songyang High School, a cold light flashed in Le Jingchen’s eyes.

The next moment, with the vibration of his phone, a series of messages was sent over.

Le Jingchen glanced at the phone screen and thought to himself, “Zhou Chechen of the Zhou family and Lan Ling of the Lan family both said that there was no technological breakthrough on Songyang High School’s side?”

“They also said that this Zhang Yu… is the dog of Bai Long Zhang Pianpian?”

Le Jingchen’s heart moved: “Is it Bailong High School… Is it a small trick by Xianyuan Group?”

He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the big screen, and thought to himself: “If this Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen are also using Xianyuan Group’s technology, then among the top ten, wouldn’t there be five people invested in by Xianyuan Group?”

Le Jingchen seemed to have already seen that after the end of the sports competition, as the technology behind Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen was exposed, Bailong and Xianyuan Group would become the biggest winners.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen immediately rushed to the buffet area after the end of the third competition.

While walking, Zhang Yu said with a pale face: “A Zhen, I need to eat more, and then circulate my energy to digest it and accelerate the strengthening of my heart, so that I can definitely display my physical strength more perfectly in the next level, and then defeat Yu Xinghan.”

Bai Zhenzhen frowned and said: “Even if you get first place in the next level, it won’t be enough for the overall champion, right?”

In the four competitions of the sports competition, physical strength accounts for 50 points, agility level accounts for 75 points, speed accounts for 75 points, and the final strength level accounts for 150 points.

Bai Zhenzhen felt that in the situation where Yu Xinghan had obtained first place in all three previous levels, even if Zhang Yu obtained 150 points in the fourth level, he would not be able to catch up with him.

“So it’s not enough to just get first place, we also have to widen the gap between me and him in the strength level.”

“Yu Xinghan currently has a full score of 200 points combined in the first three levels, while I have 191 points.”

Zhang Yu said solemnly: “The scoring is based on the players’ performance, and in the situation where I get first place and get 150 points, the stronger my performance in the next strength competition is compared to Yu Xinghan, the lower his score will be.”

“If I want to beat him, I must suppress him below 141 points, or in other words… I must lead him by more than 9 points.”

Hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen felt an incomparable difficulty.

“Is it possible to lead that freak Yu Xinghan by more than 9 points in a competition with a total score of 150 points?”

Zhang Yu said: “No matter how impossible it is, we must try.”

“Moreover, in order to allow the players who have just exerted themselves to the fullest to get sufficient rest and recover their physical strength and energy, there is a break time of 1 and a half hours before the next level starts, we can do a lot of things in this 1 and a half hours.”

So after arriving at the buffet area, Bai Zhenzhen brought Zhang Yu plate after plate of food, watching him gobble it down ravenously.
