These travel shoes are incredibly practical equipment. Although they lack offensive capabilities, their ability to teleport over long distances is something countless reincarnators dream of.

To win these shoes, the competition is very simple and straightforward: a shuttle run.

The rules are simple: two sensors are set up at each end of a 50-meter-wide room. The two competitors run back and forth between the two ends of the room, and whoever runs ten round trips first wins.

Simply calculating the total distance, one round trip is 100 meters, and ten round trips would be 1,000 meters. However, considering the need to go back and forth, it tests not only speed, but also the coordination of the body and the control of strength.

"Ah Kong!" Catherine called to the bald boy in a hospital gown, "Can you win this match using your abilities?"

Ah Kong glanced at the rules of the competition, said nothing, and simply nodded.

During the chaotic battle in the corridor earlier, A-Kong demonstrated his ability to use consecutive flashes. This is actually a rare skill, with a maximum flash distance of exactly fifty meters, a one hundred-second cooldown, and can be accumulated up to ten times.

In a match of this caliber, a 100-second cooldown is definitely enough for the opponent to complete the entire course. But if Akong can use Flash to complete five laps at the start, he'll essentially finish half the course instantly. For the rest of the match, as long as his speed exceeds half that of his opponent, he'll win!

Even in terms of speed, Akong's hospital gown has a special effect that increases movement speed. In addition, he is slender and agile with decent attributes. Even if he is just running, he is one of the best in Altar No. 241.

After he was selected, his teammates took out equipment that boosted his movement speed and put it on him. A-Kong, who was originally bare except for his hospital gown, suddenly had several rings and necklaces, and a shiny belt around his waist.

As for the wager, altar number 241 produced a strange wine bottle.

Enhancement type: Sword enhancement

Rarity: Uncommon

Reward Name: The Cursed Wine Bottle

Level Restriction: Level 0

Category: Props

Description: The last bottle of wine drunk by a troublemaking drunkard before his death. His resentment after death attached itself to the bottle. The seemingly ordinary bottle has a cold and eerie feeling when held in your hand.

Special Effect 1 (Low Requirements): Reduces weapon level requirement by one.

The second special effect is ubiquitous: the essence of this item is the resentment attached to the bottle, not the bottle itself. Once the reincarnator acquires ownership of the bottle, they do not need to carry the item with them and can designate any bottle as the cursed bottle.

Skill 1: Drunkard's Revenge: Smash the bottle to release a vengeful ghost that attacks your enemies. The ghost appears for a maximum of 30 minutes, after which it automatically disappears, and the bottle returns to its original state. Cooldown time: 3 hours.

Note: Don't talk nonsense, I'm not drunk!

…………

This is a very strange sword enhancement, but its special effects and skills are quite practical, worthy of its rare level and worth the stakes of this battle.

After the referee inspected the shoes, he nodded. A rather thin member of the tribe stepped out from behind him, bent down, and put on the travel shoes.

The teleportation ability of the travel shoes is not very useful for this kind of shuttle run, but the ability to reduce weight is equivalent to a change of direction for acceleration.

As the referee activated his ability, two marked areas appeared at each end of the hall, five meters apart. Each marked area had ten unlit lights for counting. Two running tracks connected the two marked areas. Once a runner entered a marked area, they had completed a section of the course and could turn around and return.

Ah Kong was taciturn, and the short man didn't seem to like talking much either. The two skipped introducing themselves and stood at the starting line of their respective tracks.

Once they were confirmed to be ready, the referee waved his hand, and transparent barriers were erected on both sides of the two tracks to prevent the two players from attacking each other and to eliminate external interference.

"Any acceleration and movement abilities may be used during the race. Attacking opponents is prohibited, as is veering off the track. Spectators are also prohibited from interfering. Any violation will result in immediate disqualification... Now, the race begins!"

With the referee's whistle, Ah Kong's figure vanished and instantly reappeared in the sensing zone fifty meters away.

beep!

A red light illuminates above the sensing area to indicate that a count has been made.

Without pausing, A-Kong's figure disappeared again, returning to the starting point's sensing area, where another red light illuminated.

In the blink of an eye, Ah Kong had already "run" back and forth, while the short guy on the other side had only just started and hadn't even gone five meters.

Ah Kong didn't have time to be happy; he flashed again to consolidate his advantage!

The red lights at both ends of the track lit up one after another, and the beeping sounds formed a continuous line. In the blink of an eye, Akong had completed five laps.

At this moment, his opponent had only run halfway and hadn't even lit the first lamp yet.

After taking an early lead for five rounds, cheers erupted from Altar 241, who believed victory was in their grasp!

Ah Kong's face remained expressionless. After using Flash, he began to run without hesitation.

He still has five more round trips to make.

Her slender legs moved back and forth, the loose hospital gown fluttering in the wind, the belt she had just put on flashed with a light, and her speed increased again, closing the distance with her opponent in the blink of an eye!

"Good!" Kang Haizhen shouted with his arms raised. With the support of various equipment, A Kong's speed was not lagging behind, and might even be surpassed. With the advantage of five laps, this competition was basically in the bag!

Using the belt's acceleration, Akong gradually closed the distance with his opponent. By the time the opponent approached a sensor point, Akong was only a dozen meters behind!

That's easy to say, but fifty meters is a distance a Reincarnator of this level can cover in just two or three seconds. A-Kong essentially closed the gap by more than ten meters in two seconds—that's an absolutely terrifying advantage!

Just when all the Shen clan members thought they had victory in their grasp, the situation on the field suddenly changed!

The sub-race member did not slow down as it approached the sensing zone; in fact, it ran faster and faster.

As he swiftly stepped into the sensing area, a red light on the wall beeped. But the offspring showed no sign of turning, and simply crashed headfirst into the wall!

A bizarre scene unfolded: the figure of the sub-clan contestant vanished into the wall in a flash!

"Where did it go?" Just as everyone was surprised, a "beep" sounded, and one of the lights at the starting line of the sub-race track lit up!

"What's going on?"

Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that two spatial gates had appeared in the sensing areas at both ends of the sub-race track. The sub-race members entered through the gate at the finish line and immediately exited through the gate at the starting line, instantly lighting up two lamps!

"Is this even possible?"

The Shen Clan Reincarnators were taken aback. Catherine frowned. In this way, the sub-clan had saved all the return distance from the finish line to the starting point. All things considered, it was equivalent to only running half the race. The advantage that Akong gained by teleporting was completely gone!

No, A-Kong's back-and-forth flashes even require a brief pause; ten such pauses combined would be enough for his opponent to run more than twenty meters. But the Sub-Clan's move is truly seamless; by that calculation, A-Kong actually wasted about a second!

"It's okay..." Catherine gritted her teeth, "Even if we lose our advantage halfway through, with all the equipment, Akong is still faster than his opponent. There's still hope, we can still win!"

As his thoughts raced, Ah Kong also ran to the sensing area, turned on the red light, and immediately turned around.

"Oh no!" Seeing this, Catherine's heart sank.

Because it's a shuttle run, Ah Kong has to reduce his speed to zero after entering the sensing zone, turn around, and accelerate again, which takes up a lot of time.

Looking at the other side, because of the portal, the shuttle run has been turned into a 500-meter straight sprint, so there is no need to consider the problem of slowing down and turning back!

The difference here is not small!

In basketball training, there's a 17-relay shuttle run, 15 meters per retrieval, totaling 255 meters. Running it in under a minute is considered good physical fitness. But if it's a straight run, let alone 255 meters, there are plenty of high school students who can run 355 meters in under a minute.

Sure enough, due to the exhaustion from going back and forth, Akong's progress in activating the red light slowed down, while his opponent accelerated rapidly, getting faster and faster, and the gap between them gradually narrowed.

Especially after the speed boost from the belt wore off, Akong's speed slowed down again.

Finally, when Akong lit the sixteenth lamp, his opponent caught up with him.

He had clearly entered the sensing area first, but before he could even turn back, his opponent darted out of the portal, swept past him, and disappeared into the distance...

Seeing this, the reincarnators at Altar 241 lowered their heads, and Catherine closed her eyes, completely giving up hope...
