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

Even with her ice-jade constitution, Le Mulan felt as if her body was about to melt.

The power within her, driven by the drug's potency, erupted like molten lava, propelling her forward like a gust of wind.

Whether it was Ziyun High School, Ziyun Pharmaceuticals, or her family, they had all invested heavily in this competition and the subsequent promotion of the new technology.

This gave Le Mulan a sense of responsibility she had never felt before.

But she didn't dislike this responsibility.

The family's care, her parents' investment, her brother's guidance… all of this allowed her to live the life of a privileged daughter from a young age.

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

So she constantly demanded, constantly received care, and was constantly treated with various favorable conditions…

And this also made Le Mulan feel like she was holding her breath.

She hoped to let everyone in the family know, to let those brothers and sisters who had been screened out understand.

She was worth the investment.

And in this breakthrough in body refinement technology, in the company's battlefield extending to physical competitions, she finally had the opportunity to prove herself to her family and repay her parents.

Le Mulan's eyes were fixed on Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu in the distance.

"I originally thought I could get second place…"

With a soft whoosh, Le Mulan had already sped past Bai Zhenzhen.

"This distance…" Continuing to stare at the figures of Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan gritted her teeth in her heart and said: "It's too difficult to catch up… No, I have to at least try…"

Just then, Le Mulan suddenly noticed in surprise that a shadow had appeared beside her.

"Someone is catching up?"

"Who is it?"

"Song Hailong?"

But looking at that slender figure, Le Mulan knew it wasn't him.

"Then it's… Bai Zhenzhen?"

Seeming not to have expected that the figure she had just sped past would actually catch up, a trace of surprise flashed across Le Mulan's face.

"She can actually keep up?"

On the other side, Bai Zhenzhen, amidst the strong wind, only felt a tearing pain coming from many parts of her body, and her internal organs were also bearing tremendous pressure.

Unlike Zhang Yu, who could explode his physical strength beyond his limits simply by deeply excavating his body and without taking much medicine.

Although Bai Zhenzhen had also benefited from the tempering effect of the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi through her spiritual root during this period, she ultimately could not reach Zhang Yu's level.

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

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

So she didn't continue to run at full strength, but chose to maintain her third-place position.

"Anyway, I can't catch up with Yu Xinghan, I'll leave this 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, Le 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 keep third place, otherwise, I'll be laughed to death by him."

Silky strands of heat emanated from Bai Zhenzhen's body, and under the intense exertion of her muscles, the scars on her body gradually turned crimson, as if they had turned into dragon claws, constantly tearing at her body, causing her to feel a flesh-tearing pain.

And feeling Bai Zhenzhen constantly trying to catch up, Le Mulan desperately accelerated, trying to shake her off.

"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 stubbornly chased behind Le Mulan, the two figures swept across the track, and the strong winds they stirred up collided with each other, as if they were about to rub out sparks.

"I want to be on the Top Ten with Yu Zi!"

The scarlet scars on Bai Zhenzhen's body became more and more enchanting, as if they were about to drip blood under her full acceleration, and the pain of flesh being torn apart was constantly transmitted.

"Damn it… I knew I shouldn't have saved money on painkillers…"

A roar rose in her heart, and Bai Zhenzhen frantically squeezed her increasingly painful body, stubbornly fighting with Le Mulan to the last 500 meters.

Roar!

The two roared in their hearts, and at this moment, only one thought remained in their minds.

Surpass the opponent!

I must surpass the opponent!

In the next moment, in Le Mulan's shocked gaze, Bai Zhenzhen crossed her body and returned to the third-place position.

But when Bai Zhenzhen looked forward with an excited face, she found that Zhang Yu's speed had slowed down slightly.

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

Whoosh!

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 and ran to Zhang Yu with a concerned face: "What's wrong with you?"

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

Zhang Yu felt his heart, 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 the heart seemed unable to keep up with Zhang Yu's coercion of his body, unable to satisfy Zhang Yu's will to explode 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 limit.

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

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Just like muscles that break through their limits after exercise need to grow and recover to 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 can become stronger than before…"

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

He needed a lot of food and a lot of nutrition to replenish the consumption of the competition just now, and his heart, which had completed the breakthrough, was clamoring for nutrients and wanted to become stronger.

"Breaking through the limit is just breaking through the limit."

Zhang Yu touched his chest and thought: "True growth cannot be separated from the material and energy foundation. If my heart wants to become stronger, it now needs a lot of nutrition and food."

"And then cooperate with the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi to accelerate digestion and growth."

The 10th-level Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi gave Zhang Yu a strong metabolism and digestion ability, which is also one of the reasons why his physical strength can skyrocket.

On the other side, Yu Xinghan glanced at Zhang Yu coldly, and thought to himself: "The deceleration at the end, is it because the drug effect is over? Or is it a side effect?"

Although he understood that the other party should have taken some kind of powerful drug to keep up with him, he felt a strong displeasure in his heart that he was kept up with by a student from Songyang High School, especially since the other party was the guy who had taken his Golden Core disciple position.

"It seems I was a little too careless."

"Next game, 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 Xianyun Group's imitation demon muscle surgery next month…"

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

Li Xuelian is the daughter of Xinghuo Zhenren and Yu Xinghan's nominal senior sister.

Li Xuelian asked: "How was the competition?"

Hearing Li Xuelian's inquiry, Yu Xinghan reported the results to the other party: "I won the first place in the first three games."

"It's no problem to win the first place in the last game."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I won't let Xianyun's contract have any problems."

"Who else can be the first in the total score of this physical competition besides me?"

……

In the audience.

Le Jingchen's face was a little ugly, only because Le Mulan didn't even make it into the top three, and was only ranked fourth.

On the contrary, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, didn't know what technology and powerful drugs they used to squeeze into the top three.

In particular, Zhang Yu kept pace with Yu Xinghan for a while.

Although it had a lot to do with Yu Xinghan's initiative to 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 overshadowed by Songyang High School, a cold light flashed in Le Jingchen's eyes.

In the next moment, with the vibration of his mobile phone, a series of messages were sent.

Le Jingchen glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, and thought to himself: "Zhou Chechen from the Zhou family and Lan Ling from the Lan family both said that there is no technological breakthrough on the Songyang High School side?"

"And they said that this Zhang Yu… is Bai Long Zhang Pianpian's dog?"

Le Jingchen's heart moved: "Is Bailong High School… Xianyun Group? Is it Xianyun Group's small actions?"

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

Le Jingchen seemed to have already seen that after the end of the sports competition, with the exposure of the technology behind Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, Bailong and Xianyun Group became the biggest winners.

……

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

While walking, Zhang Yu, who was pale, said: "A Zhen, I want to eat more, and then use my skills to digest and accelerate the strengthening of my heart, so that I can definitely play my physical strength more perfectly in the next level, and then defeat Yu Xinghan."

Bai Zhenzhen frowned and said, "Even if you get the first place in the next level, it's not enough to get the first place in the total score, right?"

In the four games 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 case that Yu Xinghan had won the first place in the first three levels, even if Zhang Yu got 150 points in the fourth level, he would not be able to catch up with the other party.

"So not only must I get the first place, but I must also widen the gap between me and him in the strength level."

"Yu Xinghan now has a full score of 200 points for the first three levels combined, while I have 191 points."

Zhang Yu said solemnly: "The score is based on the performance of the players. In the case that I get the first place and get 150 points, the more I perform stronger than Yu Xinghan in the strength competition in the next level, the lower the score he will get."

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

Hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen felt an incomparable difficulty.

"In a competition with a total score of 150 points, to lead Yu Xinghan, that monster, by more than 9 points? Is it possible?"

Zhang Yu said: "No matter whether it is possible or not, I always have to try."

"Moreover, in order to allow the players who have just exploded with all their strength to get enough rest and restore their physical strength and energy, there will be a rest time of 1 and a half hours before the next level starts. We can do a lot of things in these 1 and a half hours."

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