In Shrek Square, the sound of wailing students could be heard among those who were running...
Though Shrek Square was not large, only about three hundred meters around, running a full hundred laps was no small feat!
A male student's face turned ugly as he said, "This hundred laps, who knows how long it'll take us!"
"Stop talking and keep running! Who among the students at Shrek doesn't know of Zhou Yi's reputation? She means what she says!" another student sighed as he spoke and then buried his head and dashed forward,
One of the female students looked worriedly at Qian Yu, "We're still okay with only a hundred laps, but Qian Yu is really going to suffer!"
Other female students couldn't help but express their dissatisfaction on behalf of Qian Yu, "Yeah! Why treat Qian Yu like this? Zhou Yi, that old witch, is just too vile!"
"How can Shrek Academy have such a tyrannical teacher? It's so disappointing!"
Seeing countless female students speaking up for him, Qian Yu, who was running at the very front, maintained an unchanged expression...
By his side, closely following and looking somewhat stressed was Huo Yuhao, but since they had just started not too long ago, he was able to keep up with Qian Yu...
"Qian Yu, are you really planning to run two hundred laps? There's a big difference between one hundred laps in two hours and two hundred laps in four hours!"
After all, physical strength is not limitless, and the farther they ran, the more exhausted their bodies would become. With their current soul power rank, it was simply impossible to last two hundred laps!
Qian Yu glanced at Huo Yuhao and nodded slightly, speaking softly, "Yeah. If we don't run, based on Zhou Yi's character that she showed just now, she might truly kick out any student who doesn't finish from Shrek Academy!"
As he finished speaking, the two of them broke through the tenth lap...
But soon after, Wang Dong at the back gradually picked up speed and quickly overtook them...
His face appeared very relaxed...
His Martial Soul was boosted by two Soul Rings, one hundred and one thousand years respectively, giving him a significant increase in attributes, so he didn't feel very tired!
Wang Dong, who was at the front, suddenly turned his head back, looking rather proud as he said to Qian Yu and Huo Yuhao, "You guys aren't worn out just at the tenth lap, are you?"
Qian Yu smiled and began to pick up pace, running alongside Wang Dong on the same straight path...
Seeing the two surpass him, Huo Yuhao clenched his teeth and surged forward as well, and just like that...
The twentieth lap...
The thirtieth lap...
...
When they broke through the sixtieth lap...
Huo Yuhao, who was already struggling with stamina, began to wobble, his breathing became extremely chaotic, and his speed was barely manageable...
He had been left behind by Qian Yu and Wang Dong by about five laps already...
And yet, the two leading runners showed no sign of slowing down, keeping their pace steady and consistent...
Breathing heavily, Huo Yuhao regulated his breath, teeth gritted, continuing to persevere, "Huff... huff..."
And as Qian Yu and Wang Dong completed another lap, they quickly caught up to Huo Yuhao, who had only made it halfway through his lap...
Qian Yu, seeing Huo Yuhao struggle, asked, "Yuhao? Can you keep going?"
Having run for so long, he hadn't felt the slightest decline in his physical strength...
It was as if he had an endless supply of energy constantly replenishing him...
But Huo Yuhao's continued staggering suggested he had reached his limit...
Of course, if Huo Yuhao hadn't sped up to catch Qian Yu and Wang Dong earlier, he probably could have pushed for about ten more laps!
Wang Dong, who was by his side, also spoke up, "Huo Yuhao, if you can't make it, just apologize to me! I might consider helping you!"
The perseverance Huo Yuhao had shown by chasing him and Qian Yu for dozens of laps despite his exhaustion had altered Wang Dong's impression of him slightly!
Huo Yuhao, upon hearing this, shook his head, took a deep breath, and struggled to say, "Thanks for your concern, I can keep going!"
He couldn't fall! If he fell now, he would have to leave Shrek Academy, and the things he wanted to do would cease to exist!
Seeing Huo Yuhao's determined expression, Qian Yu nodded, "Okay! If that's the case, we'll go ahead!"
After all, he still had well over a hundred laps to go!
With that, he sped up once more and dashed off...
Wang Dong gave Huo Yuhao a deep look, then took a deep breath and quickly caught up with Qian Yu's pace...
Huo Yuhao, watching the two speed off, gritted his teeth and continued to run slowly...
...
Sixty-five laps...
Sixty-six laps...
...
Seventy laps...
When Huo Yuhao ran to the seventieth lap, his leg muscles had already started to go numb, and he suddenly knelt down on the ground…
Lying on the ground, enduring the constant numbness, he propped himself up with his hands and slowly inched forward…
Observing this scene from Shrek Academy's teaching building, Zhou Yi said softly, "Qian Yu and Wang Dong had unexpectedly strong stamina. Among their peers, they're probably also top-notch, and this Huo Yuhao…"
She silently shook her head…
Compared to the two, his talent was far inferior, although his willpower was very strong! However, if he couldn't complete the hundred laps…
She would not allow him to stay at Shrek Academy, which was harsh but realistic…
...
Then, Qian Yu and Wang Dong, who had hurried over, helped Huo Yuhao up…
Wang Dong said, "Qian Yu, you go ahead and finish your two hundred laps first. This Huo Yuhao, I'll take him to complete the rest!"
Although he and Qian Yu had also reached the ninety-fourth lap, just one step away from a hundred, the latter was different; one hundred and six more laps awaited him!!
Huo Yuhao, whose legs were numbed to the point of needing support, said weakly, "It's okay, I can keep going!"
Qian Yu raised his eyebrow, questioning, "Are you sure you can do it?"
Wang Dong rolled his eyes, "Don't look down on people! It's just running with someone! It's a piece of cake."
Seeing this, Qian Yu nodded, "Alright! Then Huo Yuhao is in your hands!"
The next moment, he burst out at his maximum speed directly…
This flying-like speed shocked all the boys behind them…
"Damn! Is this guy even human? He has already run more than ninety laps, right?"
"Unbelievable! He's already run more than ninety laps and is even faster than us."
Some of the girls exclaimed, "Worthy of Qian Yu! He will definitely complete two hundred laps!!"
"That's right! Go Qian Yu! Go Qian Yu!"
"Hurry up, don't just stand there dumbfounded when Qian Yu has already finished his two hundred laps!"
Wang Dong, who was supporting Huo Yuhao, pursed his thin lips...
A slight smile curled at the corner of his mouth, "Huo Yuhao, are you ready to take off?"
Huo Yuhao's face showed a puzzled look. "What did you just say… fly?"
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Dong's back slowly unfurled a pair of blue butterfly wings. Between the wings' patterns, a deep blue light flickered tirelessly, reflecting a portion of the sky in a brilliance that inspired the heart!
Like jewels casting a radiant glow, the flapping of the butterfly wings produced an illusory light and shadow, bringing a shockingly stunning visual effect…
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but exclaim at the sight of Wang Dong's wings, "So beautiful!"
In the instant of wing flapping, he swiftly surpassed Qian Yu…
Qian Yu watched Wang Dong's breathtakingly beautiful butterfly wings in front, his eyes sparkling with light…
"Is this Wang Dong's Martial Soul? It's indeed faultless in its beauty!"
The next moment, Qian Yu, coming back to his senses, absorbed that strange energy within his body just like before…
When Qian Yu felt a saturated sensation inside him, he was alarmed, "Oh no!! It feels like something is about to come out!!"
The next moment, twelve horrifying chains flashing with the hue of the Six-Pointed Star suddenly appeared around him, and instantly, the first and second layers of chains began to loosen…
Facing the chains exuding immense energy next to him, Qian Yu exclaimed in shock, "What on earth is this??"
Shortly after, a "crack" was heard; the two layers of chains around Qian Yu shattered instantly!!!
