Chapter 62: The First in the Hundred Meter Dash! Continue to Show Miracles in Front of Others!_1
=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(●⁰ꈊ⁰●|||) Whaaat!?
At that moment!
Everyone on the scene was dumbfounded.
I've been alive for eighteen years—what haven't I seen? everyone was thinking. But this scene today... I've never freaking seen this before! This is too much! Running backward like that? What kind of bizarre creature is he? I've really lived long enough to see everything...
Everyone was internally roasting the situation...
And just then, students on the sides of the track suddenly shouted in astonishment.
"Holy shit! What the heck!? That guy running backward on the track has actually overtaken the others!"
Along with this exclamation!
The next moment, all the students on the scene witnessed an extremely bizarre scene.
They saw the boy who had started so incredibly slowly because of his weird starting posture, leaving him meters behind as the race started.
Suddenly, he began to overtake!
What was more absurd was that this guy, who was clearly running backward the whole time, was sprinting wildly and overtaking others left and right.
In just one short second, he blasted past the last three academically gifted extras, and even overtook Qin Yao and Zhang Nan.
In the blink of an eye, he was less than ten short meters away from the front runners: Luo City Second High's Xu Haolong and Ninth High's speedy Gao Fei.
This left the students on both sides of the track completely stunned, exclaiming,
"Running backward the whole way, and still overtaking? This is toxic..."
"I mean, Su Xueba, please just be human, okay? If this carries on, you're going to blow the minds of all the candidates in Luo City..."
"Is there a math whiz present? Somebody calculate the area of psychological trauma for those overtaken students, see how big it is..."
"Su Yan, incredible! First High, incredible! Su Yan, so handsome! Fangirls love, love, love..."
As Su Yan suddenly overtook several people in succession, the onlookers on both sides of the track dutifully played their parts in livening up the atmosphere: cue the gasps of disbelief, the stunned expressions, and the shouts of 'Incredible!'
The scene suddenly became very lively.
However—
Bystanders are clear-headed, but those involved are lost.
At this moment, Xu Haolong and Speedy Legs, who were completely immersed in the hundred-meter sprint and striving for first place, were sprinting passionately.
They were running so fervently, automatically blocking out external noise, with eyes only for the finish line ahead, ignoring everything else.
At this time, both were running at a very fast pace, matching each other's speed throughout the race.
Both were giving it their all, exerting all their energy into their legs, sprinting towards the end side by side.
Just as they were less than five meters away from the finish line, Xu Haolong tapped into his potential and with great difficulty overtook Speedy Legs by more than half a body length.
He charged towards the finish line like a madman, the championship title within his grasp.
But just as Xu Haolong thought he was about to clinch the championship, a handsome and dashing figure suddenly flashed by his side.
Next, his eyes met a charming and familiar face.
Isn't that freaking Su Yan? How did he suddenly overtake me? And he's still running backward, looking at me with a big grin... What the hell is going on!? Xu Haolong thought, instantly dumbstruck.
He even accidentally twisted his ankle and fell to the ground with a thud just before crossing the finish line.
Then, quite tragically, he lay there as several runners from behind successively passed him.
Watching person after person sprint past him, Xu Haolong completely lost his composure.
But quickly, he got up from the ground, limping and struggling as he crossed the finish line.
After everyone had successfully crossed the line, the timing device at the finish line began to announce the results.
[Su Yan, 100-meter sprint in 2.33 seconds]
[Gao Fei, 100-meter sprint in 2.51 seconds]
[Qin Yao, 100-meter sprint in 2.78 seconds]
[Zhang Nan, 100-meter sprint in 2.80 seconds]
[Li Ma, 100-meter...]
[Zhang Dan, 100-meter...]
[Xu Haolong, 100-meter sprint...]
The moment the results were announced, everyone present was shocked beyond measure.
What kind of genius student is this!? Despite running the whole course backward, his time was a staggering 2.33 seconds, easily surpassing the speed standard for Rare Level Creatures. Is this even human? Is this really a high school student? Could it be a master in disguise?
At this moment, everyone felt utterly incredulous and thought it was absurd.
Especially the other top students in the same group, who were now close to questioning their very existence.
Right now, we truly feel bewildered, as though we're dreaming, they thought. The strength exhibited by this boy is too dazzling; not even the top students in Jingdou could necessarily match it. For such an incredible student to have remained unnoticed throughout three years of high school is simply impossible. The more we think about it, the stranger it seems, utterly baffling and incomprehensible.
The Ice Queen Goddess, Qin Yao, also felt a sense of frustration and couldn't help but blurt out,
"Student Su, who exactly are you?"
At this moment, Qin Yao, with her pair of clear, cold beautiful eyes, was looking at Su Yan, waiting for his answer while gasping for breath, her cheeks flushed.
Clearly, the high-intensity exercise of the eight-person race had taken its toll on her.
She hadn't been able to catch her breath for quite some time, and she was gasping to recover.
Su Yan, upon hearing this, didn't immediately respond.
He just silently looked at the goddess in front of him, her body dripping with sweat, her thin and refreshing clothes clinging tightly to her figure.
Then, after thinking it over, he said with a smile,
"I come from Summoner's Canyon, the Green Plains, a villager from Sheep Village known as Wild King Blind Boy."
Qin Yao: "???"
After hearing these words, Qin Yao was initially stunned, then her face showed utter confusion.
Summoner's Canyon? Green Plains? Sheep Village? What are these places? Why haven't I heard of any of them?

Beautiful girl makes a dazzling entrance!
Good evening, dear readers!
I'm the author's sister, Su Moumou!
Posing: φ( ̄∇ ̄o)!
Since my brother's updates are short and weak, and he updates only once a day, he was even thinking about not updating today.
Frankly, as a sister and a reader, I really couldn't stand it.
But alas, I can't beat him in a fight, and I don't dare to scold him, for I am but a weak, pitiful, and helpless little sister, crying.jpg.
So, I had to bite the bullet and write a chapter myself...
Lest I disappoint our dear readers' hearts❤️.
Also, from now on, whenever my brother updates only once, I'll take it upon myself to write an extra update.
Which means, starting from tomorrow, whenever I'm free, I will help to add an update on his behalf.
It might not quite have the usual flavor, so I hope you all can forgive me, whimper!
Sigh, it can't be helped. This is so hard.
Alright, that's all I wanted to say.
Actually, I don't have any bad intentions.
I just feel sorry for my brother and want to help him by asking for votes or something.
So, if you have votes, remember to cast them!
...
PS: Holding out my bowl, asking for votes!
