What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?

Having overtaken Hu Yuntao, Song Hailong was now in second place on the track.

But his face showed no joy, only a focused gaze on Yu Xinghan in the distance.

“That man…”

For Song Hailong, his only rival in this competition was Yu Xinghan.

At this moment, Song Hailong's muscles were taut, making him look leaner, with a streamlined beauty.

This was due to his powerful control over the Mimic-Beast Muscles, temporarily transforming him into a speed-type form.

The Mimic-Beast Muscles, with their powerful plasticity, allowed students to retract the beast features on their bodies after undergoing modification, as their control over their flesh increased.

For a top student like Song Hailong, who had already undergone Elephant Muscle implantation, adapting to the Mimic-Beast Muscles was not difficult. He could even temporarily change his physical form to enhance his speed as his control over his flesh continued to improve.

Although the speed gained in this way was only explosive, lacking controllability and unsuitable for the previous stage, it was perfect for the speed competition in this stage.

Every muscle fiber, after being extremely constricted, burst forth like a spring made of steel bars, unleashing surging kinetic energy.

With each violent beat of his heart, blood was pumped towards every muscle in his body, continuously transporting surging energy and dispersing various medicinal effects throughout his limbs.

“But it’s still not enough.”

“To defeat Yu Xinghan, this is still not enough.”

Song Hailong recalled his failures over the past period, how he had fallen before Yu Xinghan time and time again, losing to this man in all aspects: Dao Heart, mana, physical education, martial arts, Daoist techniques…

He recalled the humiliation he had suffered in front of the entire school, time and time again, at the hands of this man.

He recalled the humiliation of kneeling, his father's disappointment, his brother's criticism…

But he knew that he could only endure at this moment.

“To defeat Yu Xinghan, I can only chase him little by little.”

“Fantasizing about soaring into the sky and defeating him in an instant is both disrespectful to his talent and disrespectful to the wealth of a Golden Core True Person.”

“I will remember the failure of this competition.”

“I will definitely defeat you in the future.”

For Song Hailong, taking second place in this competition was already a failure, a humiliation that was enough for him to remember.

But after a moment, Song Hailong, who had been in second place, suddenly moved his gaze.

In the corner of his eyes, he suddenly heard a series of whooshing sounds, and he saw two figures rushing out from behind him, one on the left and one on the right.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Thanks, Lao Song, for blocking a lot of wind resistance behind you.”

“For the remaining distance, I’m going to sprint at full speed.”

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, who had been following Song Hailong, conserving their strength, suddenly exerted their power at this moment.

Watching Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen pass him and rush forward like lightning, Song Hailong was slightly surprised.

“Their physical strength is clearly below mine, yet they can unleash such speed? They’ve actually surpassed… me?”

Song Hailong wanted to chase, but he was shocked to find that he couldn’t catch up.

“Have I slowed down?”

“No, they’re accelerating! These two guys, they can still go faster?”

Song Hailong stared intently at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, who were close in front of him, at the constantly undulating, contracting, and expanding muscles on their bodies.

“Has Bai Zhenzhen practiced a body refining technique focused on speed?”

Looking at the high frequency of her body movements and the incredibly coordinated rhythm of her muscles, Song Hailong felt an unparalleled lightness from her.

He had to admit that he should be able to surpass her in strength, but he was behind in speed.

As for Zhang Yu…

Under the tight-fitting sportswear, Song Hailong's eyes could clearly see Zhang Yu's muscle contours, seeing the flesh and blood from top to bottom as if connected into one, emitting a dazzling brilliance like a perfect work of art with every movement and every burst of energy.

Only those with control over their flesh and physical strength reaching Song Hailong's level could see the amazing brilliance, making him feel the precision and smoothness of this body.

“Zhang Yu… he has perfectly exerted every inch of strength in his body…”

Zhang Yu's physical strength may not be as strong as his, Song Hailong's, but his control over his body, his mastery of the muscles, and the speed he was unleashing at this moment made Song Hailong feel extremely dazzling.

It’s like everyone has electromagnetic force in their body, but not everyone can fire a railgun.

At this moment, Song Hailong, looking at Zhang Yu, whose physical strength was a little lower than his, only felt a kind of power, a familiar sense of power.

“It’s… Yu Xinghan!”

“Zhang Yu’s mobilization of the power of his muscles… has it already reached the same level as Yu Xinghan?”

Watching Zhang Yu get further and further away from him, Song Hailong waved his legs desperately, but he could never catch up even a little bit.

This feeling was like every time he wanted to catch up with Yu Xinghan.

Unconsciously, the figures of Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan in front of him seemed to overlap.

No… they didn’t overlap!

“Damn it… this kid Zhang Yu is going to catch up with Yu Xinghan!”

In Song Hailong's surprised gaze, Zhang Yu surpassed him, then quickly shook off Bai Zhenzhen, and continued to accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate again!

He actually began to approach Yu Xinghan.

His footsteps were getting lighter and lighter, and every moment he was crossing dozens of meters, as if he was about to fly into the sky and pluck the stars in front of him, and the glittering star that Zhang Yu was gradually closing the distance with was Yu Xinghan.

Song Hailong's heart shook: “He wants to challenge Yu Xinghan?”

Challenge Yu Xinghan? Challenge the absolute number one in terms of overall physical qualities, surpassing all the contestants on the scene?

On the other side, Yu Xinghan's third eye in the center of his brow clearly saw the figure gradually catching up.

Yu Xinghan smiled: “Oh? You really caught up?”

At this moment, when everyone was going full speed ahead and unleashing all their strength.

Yu Xinghan actually turned his head abruptly and looked at Zhang Yu who was chasing after him.

He even spoke, sighing, “I know you.”

“You’re the guy I eliminated, right?”

“If it weren’t for me, you would have been accepted as a disciple by my master.”

“So… do you hate me?”

Hearing the powerful voice mixed in the strong wind, Zhang Yu didn't answer.

He didn't waste any energy on communication, at this moment his eyes only contained victory.

Whether the opponent was Song Hailong or Yu Xinghan, for him, they were just opponents to be defeated.

“Beat them, win this competition.”

“Get into the Top Ten.”

“Climb to the second level of Kunxu with Ah Zhen!”

At this moment, Zhang Yu was just constantly unleashing the power of this body, just like the running of the past days and nights, at this moment, although he couldn't circulate mana, he could still recklessly vent the power of his flesh and blood.

Seemingly feeling the firmness in Zhang Yu's eyes, Yu Xinghan smiled slightly and said, “Not bad condition, as expected of a guy who has also mastered the Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Technique.”

“Then… I’ll play with you.”

In everyone's surprised eyes, Yu Xinghan suddenly slowed down his speed, in contrast to Zhang Yu who was chasing all the way, as if he instantly retreated backwards, retreating to a position level with Zhang Yu.

Then, as Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu sprinted side by side, causing a gust of wind, his right hand slowly extended three fingers.

3!

Then two fingers.

2!

Zhang Yu's breathing sank, and he gritted his teeth in his heart: “Countdown? This guy…”

Zhang Yu immediately understood, Yu Xinghan wanted to retreat to the same position as him and then compete again.

The next moment, Yu Xinghan's outstretched fingers became one.

1!

Zhang Yu roared in his heart.

If just now was a full sprint, then at this moment, every muscle and every strand of qi and blood in Zhang Yu's body was overloadedly erupted under his exquisite control.

Although he couldn't circulate mana at this moment, the Runner's Legs, the Elevator Jump, the Thirty-Six Body Building Exercises, the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi… one level 10 technique after another, and the physical experience of countless sprints were still overloadedly exerted by Zhang Yu at this moment.

The flesh and blood all over his body seemed to become an extension of his thoughts, and under the command of his will, he sprinted forward frantically.

For the competition team of Songyang High School, the muscle self-limitation that needed surgery to unlock, for Zhang Yu at this moment, was something that could be directly broken through with his powerful control over his body.

Under this overloaded eruption, his muscles began to tremble, his internal organs seemed to groan, and his whole body burst out with speed beyond the limit.

But he no longer had the energy to pay attention to these, his eyes only remained on Yu Xinghan, who was being tightly bitten next to him.

“I can…”

“I can defeat him.”

“My control over my body is stronger than him, I am better at accelerating than him, and I am better at exceeding the limit than him.”

“Even if my physical strength is lower, I can be faster than him!”

Under the shocked gazes of countless people on the scene.

Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan's bodies accelerated again and again, like a re-start in a race.

The two figures were like two streams of light, instantly shaking off everyone and speeding along the track all the way.

Running side by side!

…

“So fast!” Qian Shen murmured: “Can a high school student be so fast?”

In the rest area of Songyang High School, He Dayou, Qian Shen, Zhao Tianxing and others were all shocked to see this scene, watching Zhang Yu actually run side by side with Yu Xinghan, the strongest in the audience, like two flashes of lightning shuttling on the track.

“With a physical strength of level 4.95, running side by side with Yu Xinghan of level 5.07…” Wang Hai looked at Zhang Yu, who was moving at high speed on the big screen, with an excited face, and thought tremblingly: “That is to say, Zhang Yu’s excavation of physical strength… is above Yu Xinghan?”

But he quickly suppressed this incredible idea.

“No, it’s impossible, it should be some kind of powerful drug that stimulates potential, right?”

“But to make Zhang Yu catch up with Yu Xinghan’s speed, the side effects of this drug must be extremely large.”

Wang Hai looked at Zhang Yu on the big screen with concern: “Can he hold on?”

…

On the stands.

The streamer Gang Shan exclaimed: “This student from Songyang High School can actually keep up with Yu Xinghan’s speed? These two people’s level is stronger than most second-year high school students, right?”

Le Jingchen also looked at this scene with great surprise, and thought to himself: “What exactly did Songyang High School do?”

He nodded: “He should have taken some kind of powerful drug to allow him to keep up with Yu Xinghan’s speed in a short period of time. It can be seen that under the action of new technologies and drugs, it is not impossible for ordinary people to challenge Golden Core disciples.”

Saying that, he let Gang Shan aim the camera at Le Mulan’s direction.

“After warming up for so long, the drug’s effect should have fully taken effect, Mulan is going to exert her strength, right?”

On the track, Le Mulan, who had been in fifth place, suddenly accelerated, first surpassing Song Hailong in one breath, and then constantly approaching Bai Zhenzhen.

At this moment, her cheeks were red, her breathing was heavy, her flesh and blood were constantly emitting bursts of heat, and the purple vertical pupil mark on her forehead became more and more vivid.

Le Mulan’s mind surfaced with what the coach had just said.

“This is the latest banned drug from the Ziyun Laboratory, one for 100,000, and the drug’s effect is enough to burn out the internal organs of ordinary high school students.”

“But you, who have undergone super metabolism surgery, can completely withstand it.”

“Because after the drug’s effect passes, the flesh and blood all over your body will fall into a state of extreme fatigue, so you can only eat it before the start of this level.”

“And all you have to do after eating this drug is… run.”

“Before the drug’s effect passes, run the remaining distance with all your strength.”

(There was a typo in the previous chapter, the start of the first year of high school should be eight and a half months, I accidentally wrote seven and a half months, the relevant places in the front have been modified, and I will explain it here again)
