Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Competition between Two People

The nine boys from Coastal High School were already irate from the taunting by the Puping Team members and could not vent out their frustration.

At the start of the race, they naturally turned their anger into motivation, exerting all their energy and bursting ahead.

In a moment, they actually surged to the front of everyone, including Chen Feng and the ten members of the Puping Athletics Team.

However, Chen Feng shook his head at this.

Because anyone with a bit of experience in middle- and long-distance running knows that such an early lead in a long-distance race is ultimately meaningless.

At the beginning, one must conserve energy to use in the final sprint.

Otherwise, if one sprints too hard at the start, there will be no energy left for a necessary sprint at the end, resulting in easy overtaking by others.

Now, those nine boys were running recklessly without regard for their stamina, straining to stay ahead of the Puping Athletics Team members and to vent their resentment.

This was clearly irrational and meaningless.

Wang Zhe and the other ten people from the Puping Team looked at the nine boys with disdain.

"Heh, amateurs will be amateurs, completely lacking common sense!" Wang Zhe said contemptuously with a sneer.

After speaking, he glanced back at Chen Feng, who was trailing at the very back of the crowd, squinted his eyes slightly, and didn’t take it too seriously.

In his view, Chen Feng was just another useless person, not to be feared.

The members of the Puping Team were running fairly casually, almost without exerting much effort, because they felt the race was far too easy and did not require much exertion.

In no time, they had reached the 400-meter mark.

By then, the nine boys from Coastal High School were nearly burnt out, each one gasping heavily, their pace continually slowing until they could barely move their legs as if they were weighed down by lead.

"I... I can’t go on!" one of the boys gasped out.

"Me neither!" another one said breathlessly.

The remaining seven boys were obviously in the same state, each one too tired to lift their legs.

Seeing this, Wang Zhe smirked, turned his head to the Puping Team members behind him and said, "Those losers are done for; it’s our turn to shine now!"

"Alright!"

Upon hearing this, the nine Puping Team members all smiled smugly, then slowly began to pick up pace along with Wang Zhe.

The Puping Team was indeed professional; they had also run 400 meters, yet they weren’t gasping for breath at all, and their formation was still neat.

Thus, on one side there was acceleration, while on the other there was deceleration.

Soon, all members of the Puping Team had passed the nine boys from Coastal High School, appearing so effortless and casual.

The faces of the nine boys from Coastal High School were filled with reluctance, their eyes red.

But even though they were reluctant, they were now completely out of energy and could not think of overtaking again.

Gradually, the boys from Coastal High School fell further and further behind.

And Chen Feng was by himself, trailing at the very end of everyone, jogging leisurely as if he had already given up completely.

The other Coastal High School students who were not participating sighed upon seeing this, their faces filled with disappointment.

They knew that this time, Coastal High School was bound to lose.

Standing outside the track, Zhang Hu watched the Puping Team pulling further ahead, his face full of smugness, turned his head towards Li Qiang beside him and boasted deliberately:

"Li Qiang, the physical fitness of the boys at your school really isn’t up to par, is it? They’ve only run such a short distance and they’re already out of breath? So weak! But that’s not your fault, being amateurs and all, ha ha ha!"

Suddenly, the entire field was filled with Zhang Hu’s triumphant laughter.

Li Qiang and the students from Coastal High School all looked extremely upset, their heads hanging low in dejection.

However, Zhang Hu’s laughter hadn’t completely subsided.

Just then, on the track, a black figure suddenly increased its speed.

In an instant, it passed Coastal High School’s nine boys and quickly chased after Puping Team’s Wang Zhe and others.

The gap between them quickly closed, visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the black figure had overtaken all the members of the Puping Team, leading everyone as he ran at the front of the crowd.

And this figure was none other than Chen Feng, who had been trailing at the very back!

This scene stunned everyone, their eyes filled with surprise.

You see, just a moment ago, Chen Feng was at the very back of everyone, at least a hundred meters away from the leaders like Wang Zhe.

Yet, within the blink of an eye, Chen Feng had overtaken everyone; his speed was truly unbelievable.

The students from Coastal High School blinked, then their faces lit up with joy as they shouted, "Yeah! Long live Chen Feng! Go Chen Feng!"

Li Qiang also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Indeed, Chen Feng did not disappoint.

Compared to Li Qiang, Zhang Hu’s expression was not looking good. He yelled at the track: "Wang Zhe, what are you guys doing? How could you let someone overtake you? Chase him back!"

The faces of Wang Zhe and others also looked unhappy. After hearing Zhang Hu’s roar, they all powered up, starting to chase after Chen Feng.

However, after overtaking the members of the Puping Team, Chen Feng’s speed kept increasing.

No matter how the Puping Team increased their speed or chased, they couldn’t catch up to Chen Feng. The gap was even widening.

"We can’t go on like this; we can’t let this kid take advantage. We can’t keep this formation anymore!" Wang Zhe, looking at the steadily disappearing Chen Feng, narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"Captain, don’t worry about us. Just sprint and catch up with him. Don’t let this kid snatch first place!" one of the Puping Team members said.

"Yeah, Captain, with your ability, just leave us behind and catching up to that kid will be easy!" another member of the Puping Team also said.

"Alright, hold the line, I’m going to chase him!" Wang Zhe nodded and spoke.

Having said that, he immediately increased his speed, breaking away from the Puping Team to chase Chen Feng alone.

With less than 800 meters left on the track, the competition effectively became a race between Chen Feng and Wang Zhe.

Wang Zhe, the promising young athlete earmarked for buildup by the provincial sports team, showed great explosiveness. By continuously accelerating, he quickly closed the gap with Chen Feng, almost catching up to him.

"Kid, you’ve kept yourself well hidden, but this first place will definitely be mine!" Wang Zhe confidently said to Chen Feng.

"Really?" Chen Feng responded with a faint smile and then increased his speed again.

Unwilling to show weakness, Wang Zhe also quickly sped up.

With 700 meters left, the two kept accelerating, chasing each other.

Ordinary people would probably run out of steam before reaching the end at this pace.

However, neither seemed to know the meaning of fatigue and continued to accelerate wildly.

This left the onlookers around the track completely dumbfounded...
