“I am better than you in more ways than you can imagine!”
Yang Honglei held nothing back from the start. He entered a mad dash and left Li Mo way behind. The 50 kg on his legs and the 50 kg on his back were as if they didn’t exist to him.
The Wolf Fang Division was the nation’s sharp blade. Su Haoyang wasn’t lying when he said only an elite among elites could enter such a special force.
With Yang Honglei’s status, it was impossible to be demoted to military instructor. It was he who requested to come to Century Middle School.
He came for one person only.
Lin Qingrou!
He wanted to use a harsh training drill to draw out Lin Qingrou.
But he was disappointed to find Lin Qingrou didn’t meet his expectation of showing up.
Yang Honglei and Su Haoyang weren’t that familiar, but Su and Yang clans were long time friends. Yang Honglei sided with Su Haoyang to give face to the Su clan.
Yang Honglei ran with a relaxed face. This was his second lap and was high time he saw the state of his so-called competitor.
Yang Honglei turned his head in contempt, but slightly frowned. He ran strong from the start, a standard speed in a 100 meter dash. He thought this speed was enough to leave Li Mo in the dust with ease. Yet reality showed Li Mo kept up with him, 15 meters behind.
Yang Honglei snorted and added more strength in his legs.
One lap, two laps, tree laps…
Running six laps at high speed, Yang Honglei’s face was slightly red and his breath quickened a bit. Looking back, he was in shock.
Li Mo was still 15 meters behind, running in a relaxed manner.
‘He can still run at such a quick pace?’
‘Can’t shake him off?’
Yang Honglei was a bit astonished.
As a member of the strongest special force, Wolf Fang Division’s second detachment, Yang Honglei’s body far surpassed a common man’s. He looked enhanced in front of average people.
Yang Honglei was among the best in the second detachment when it came to speed.
“Athlete Li has some talent.”
After recovering from fainting as he ran, Chen Hai saw Li Mo running.
“Li Mo’s strongest point is his patience. Military Instructor Yang has met his match.”
“I truly hope Li Mo can win. By the looks of it, Li Mo has a strong chance.”
“Li Mo is amazing!”
“That’s our Feng City’s second runner king.”
“Indeed, indeed.”
Su Haoyang couldn’t help but snort at those comments.
Su and Yang clans were friends, and Su Haoyang knew Yang Honglei since he was a child. He was clear on Yang Honglei’s power, who trained in his clan’s martial art since young. At ten, he could throw a bull with his bare hands. After joining the Wolf Fang Division, and under Army God’s training, he earned second place in last year’s annual elite competition.
In the entire Yang clan, besides the woman they called ultimate freak, Yang Honglei was the most outstanding of his generation.
Speaking of the young generation of the four great clans, Lin Qingrou was the best. ‘But that was in the past and now it’s different. Let alone Yang Honglei, I, Su Haoyang, is someone the Lin clan’s young miss has no hope to topple.’
Starscape did wonders for cultivation. ‘The first who enters it is king. Humph, I am not equal to Yang Honglei, but not because I can’t beat him but because I was in Starscape for only a short time. I only need a bit more time and Yang Honglei will be nothing compared to me!’
‘There’s no need to rush. A year is still left until Starscape is released for public testing. How much will my strength increase in this year? At that time, won’t Lin clan’s young miss, Yang clan’s freak, be all in my, Su Haoyang’s pocket?’
“Ha-ha-ha…” Su Haoyang couldn’t help but laugh out loud when his thought reached this point.
Huang Lixing rushed on his bicycle. He was worried at first, but after seeing the situation, he relaxed.
Li Mo saw he came and made a V-sign.
Whoosh~
Yang Honglei kept running, but his speed clearly dropped from before.
He looked back to see the original distance of 15 meters between him and Li Mo shrinking.
Li Mo’s speed didn’t change. It was Yang Honglei who was slowing down and thus helping Li Mo catch up.
Yang Honglei clenched his teeth and raised his speed again.
Running two more laps at this speed, Yang Honglei was reaching his limit. He’s breathing was heavier and his speed declined.
While Li Mo was close to overtake him.
‘How can I lose to a student?’
Yang Honglei’s face turned red as did his neck. It was unclear if it was because of overexerting himself for so long or shame.
Yang Honglei thought for a long time, then came to the decision to throw away the backpack. This action earned the crowd’s hissing.
Yang Honglei didn’t care so much. Compared to losing a bit of face, winning was more important. After throwing the backpack he followed with removing the weights on his legs.
Yang Honglei was calm, “Li Mo, the real contest has only just begun!”
Whoosh~
Yang Honglei sped up and was back to his top speed.
One lap, two laps, tree laps…
16 laps… 18 laps… 20 laps…
Free of weights, Yang Honglei kept his speed for 20 laps. Then he was gasping like a bull, his pacing in shambles, and slowed downed without even knowing.
Yang Honglei looked back to see Li Mo not 15 meters behind him, calm and collected.
‘How is this possible?’
Yang Honglei was startled and angry.
‘This can’t be happening, it just can’t! He must be… running behind a few laps…’
‘Damn it!’
Yang Honglei would’ve seen him if he had overtaken him a few times. He was only lying to himself.
Whoosh~
Yang Honglei was slowing down. He had no strength left and couldn’t raise his speed. And Li Mo, he maintain the same pace all this time and was gradually gaining.
Whoosh~
Yang Honglei watched in a daze as Li Mo overtook him, going further and further away…
Yang Honglei stumbled and half-squatted on the ground, his hands on his belly as he gasped for breath.
In this sprint, he lost!
Li Mo ran back and stood above him with a cold gaze.
“Where’s your so called better?
“As the sharp blade of the nation, instead of dedicating yourself to bringing peace to the nation, for your small personal matter, you came here as a military instructor to carry out a vendetta. Yang Honglei, calling you petty is putting it mildly.”
Yang Honglei couldn’t stop gasping and even vomited. He was so spent, he couldn’t get a word out.
“I won, so isn’t it time I set the terms? You have seven days to find me a century old knotweed.”
Li Mo put his hands behind his back and left.
Yang Honglei was half squating as he pointed at Li Mo, yet he couldn’t stop from vomiting.
