The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

I reckon the 'power pill' has some kind of body-restoring function; otherwise, if he kept running like that, his legs would be ruined in no time.

It's like shooting yourself in the foot; you're ruining yourself.

Bai Jinxuan originally wanted to maintain the speed of the laps to regulate her breathing, so as to save enough energy for a big sprint later.

Because when there is enough air,

It can be recycled within the body. Back when she was still on the first floor, Bai Jinxuan used this technique to run continuously for several hours in the undeveloped area.

What she didn't expect was that these people would be so strong after taking the power pill. Under normal circumstances, even if they drank the life potion, they wouldn't be able to heal the injuries on their legs so quickly.

All I can say is that the effects of that miracle drug were indeed very strong.

However, I haven't given it my all yet.

The so-called "manipulation of qi" does not refer to breath, nor is it like martial arts techniques, where qi is stored in a certain place and then released.

The key to scheduling lies in this 'degree'. It requires the precise allocation of a portion of energy, much like controlling magic in magic theory, to achieve a cycle within the body.

To absorb magic from the air, one must first gather some air in the lungs, allowing the magic to merge with the air, and then disperse this air throughout the body to strengthen one's constitution.

Although Bai Jinxuan currently lacks the magical power to absorb it, she is capable of completing the latter part of the process.

Unlike others who load ammunition without firing and tense their breath to replenish themselves, he consumes some of his energy to ignite the ammunition, temporarily enhancing his physical abilities.

In a sense, it can be considered a martial art, but this kind of martial art is definitely not against the rules.

In martial arts, body tempering and qi refining are essentially the same thing, so how can they be considered separate disciplines?

It's not like I'm a pro; you're all on drugs, so it's not too much for me to show off some 'martial arts skills,' right?

Thinking of this, Bai Jinxuan smiled brightly, squatted down slightly, and then suddenly accelerated.

So, let me see what your choice is.

"Bai Jinxuan accelerated again! She couldn't catch up—"

Zhou Kai lamented, "The race has now entered a fierce stage, with all the riders desperately chasing after each other. There are still 63 laps left until the end of the race!"

How come there are still 63 laps left?

Li Jun gritted his teeth. He felt as if his whole body was filled with lead, and he was already risking his life to maintain his current speed.

His body was urging him to stop and rest, but he dared not do so, not even by slowing down a little bit.

He knew that if he relaxed and slowed down, he wouldn't be able to accelerate again for the next 63 laps.

I want to win!

His soul was screaming, and it was only with this willpower that he could barely keep up with Wu Jiantian's pace.

On the other hand, Wu Jiantian was not having a good time either. He was the top science student in No. 5 Middle School and the spokesperson for Qiangjian Technology. Now he was being left behind by a group of filler students. What kind of talk was this?

Although the real battle will be decided in the last ten laps, he can easily speed up his pace to deal with this dung.

We still need to maintain a good image for Qiangjian Technology; we can't let Bai Jinxuan steal the spotlight all the time!

So, at the next bend, he began to accelerate.

Li Jun wanted to catch up, but he lacked the strength. To prevent himself from losing speed and ending up in last place in the race, he had no choice but to give up.

Without that annoying tagalong behind him, Wu Jiantian felt much more relaxed and steadily caught up with the few contestants who seemed to have taken some kind of super-strength pill.

Meanwhile, Bai Jinxuan maintained her speed, keeping a distance of about ten body lengths from Xiong Xiaoqiu ahead.

This brave warrior from Class 4, in an environment where everyone was playing at their best, revealed her true level. Her speed was getting slower and slower, and at this rate, I would overtake her in less than 5 laps.

As for those guys behind me who took some kind of super-strength pills, at most they'd be on par with me now. That's the charm of natural body training.

Although it was expensive, it was well spent.

Bai Jinxuan withdrew the remaining air. This thing can be compared to stamina. It's best to save it up before sprinting. As long as she exceeds 50 laps, she can declare herself the champion.

In this way, everyone's speed gradually stabilized.

However, this is only the calm before the storm.

At a simple bend, Bai Jinxuan sped past Xiong Xiaoqiu and chased after Li Jun.

The distance is slowly shrinking.

"42 laps to go, the race is almost halfway through!"

Like a clarion call, Zhou Kai's voice stirred up a thousand waves in Wu Jiantian's heart.

It's almost time.

This distance is enough for him to accelerate all the way to the finish line.

Seize the opportunity, conserve your energy, and then... sprint!

"Knock knock knock...!"

The loud footsteps made the feet of the contestants in front of him tremble and slow down for a few seconds. This gave Wu Jiantian the perfect opportunity. He was like a bulldozer with the accelerator fully turned on, crashing forward with a rumble.

"Wu Jiantian is starting to exert his strength, his momentum is extremely fierce! The contestants in front of him were overtaken by him almost instantly, wow, so fast! He's about to catch up with Bai Jinxuan!"

"Bai Jinxuan isn't reacting, Wu Jiantian has caught up! He's still accelerating, he's going to lap her!"

"It'll work! This isn't the speed he's going to maintain yet. He's coming, he's coming, he's coming! First Xiong Xiaoqiu, then Li Jun!"

"Some viewers may not have noticed that Bai Jinxuan ran one lap more than all the other runners, but now Wu Jiantian has broken that gap. He wants to be the true leader! This is the face of the No. 5 Middle School Science Joint Examination Champion!"

"40 laps to go!"

As soon as Zhou Kai finished speaking, Bai Jinxuan clenched her fists.

Wu Jiantian is indeed skilled!

Volume 1: Chapter 48: The Girl Beyond Light

Seeing that she was about to drop to second place, Bai Jinxuan's brain worked quickly.

If she doesn't sprint, she'll definitely be caught up. Her sprint distance is about 30 laps, and after that, she'll probably have to run at a snail's pace for the remaining 10 laps.

Let's speed things up a bit, as a warm-up.

After confirming the tactics, she once again devoted some of her energy to strengthening her physical abilities, and then used a movement speed comparable to Wu Jiantian's to block the inner path, forcing the opponent to spend more effort to circle around to her front from the outer path.

There was no other way. Wu Jiantian knew it was a trap, but in order to get started as soon as possible, he jumped in without hesitation and put in extra effort to block Bai Jinxuan.

Unfortunately, Bai Jinxuan had no intention of taking back the lead; she simply maintained her speed and followed closely behind.

Although Wu Jiantian was unhappy, he couldn't afford to expend more energy running while he was still accelerating. If he did, he might be unable to finish the rest of the race due to premature exhaustion.

Maintaining your own rhythm is the most important thing; don't let her influence you!

As their speed gradually increased, they quickly caught up with Li Jun ahead.

Two figures, one in yellow and one in white, passed by Li Jun as if stepping on ants, leaving behind a gust of wind.

He is currently second to last, and his goal is to compete with Bai Jinxuan for first place.

It's practically a roadside stall.

Effort is nothing compared to talent and family background.

To gain something, you must give something in return...

Li Jun's family was not wealthy, and he couldn't afford too much medicine. His parents worked hard to get him the same amount of medicine that everyone at No. 5 Middle School had.

At home, he was his parents' hope, the pride of Class 1, No. 5 Middle School, a top science student, and the only one in his family who had a chance of getting into university.

At school, he knew he was nothing.

.

If he doesn't take the medicine, he will soon be kicked out of Class 1 and become nothing more than dirt in No. 5 Middle School. Even if he takes the medicine, he will always just be a top student in Class 1. People like Wang Feng and Wu Jiantian, who are both rich and talented, are obstacles he can never overcome.

People will only remember the first place winner, and only the first place winner will receive sponsorship.

Only by winning first place can he earn money through his labor, supplement the family income, and stand tall amidst his parents' proud boasting.

His hands trembled as he wiped his chest, pulled out a plastic bag containing pills, and clutched it in his palm.

My mother works long hours every day, getting up early and working late. Her monthly salary as a cleaner is now in his hands. He thought that after taking a 1,000-yuan pill, the outcome would change.

But in the end, it was still the same.

The words of the girl who sold the medicine came to mind.

"To achieve something, you always have to take a gamble. I can only tell you that you can only take 3 of these 'power pills' a day. Whether you buy them or not, whether you take them or not, is up to you."

Li Jun's eyes gleamed. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in the sports meet and showcase himself to those companies. He was determined to achieve results and prove that he was more valuable than Wu Jiantian!

He wants to take his mother home so she can rest!

All I need is this one championship; I just want to win this one!

He quickly put the two pills, along with their plastic bag, into his mouth, bit them open, and swallowed them.

In an instant, his leaden body felt incredibly light, as if all fatigue had vanished, as if he had started running from the very first lap...

No, it's much easier than that!

A strange impulse had been building up inside him, and all the humiliation and resentment he felt erupted at that moment.

He took off like a bullet, moving at a speed that no one could react to, rushing from the back of the group all the way to Bai Jinxuan and Wu Jiantian.

That's not all. The three pills he took before the race, plus the two he just took, meant he felt almost nothing after running that lap.

He could still sprint, and at an even faster pace; he even felt he could sprint all the way to the finish line!

With his thighs taut and eyes fixed ahead, he paid no attention to Wu Jiantian, whom he had left behind. His goal was the championship!

This sudden turn of events brought the atmosphere to a fever pitch, and Zhou Kai's passionate commentary further heightened the excitement.

Cheers, curses, gasps of shock, shouts...

The audience was already in an uproar, shouting and cheering.

At this moment, Bai Jinxuan, who was on the field, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

How is this possible at this speed?!

Li Jun is hiding something? At this rate, I'm going to be caught up!

With 34 laps to go, he was still picking up speed, it seemed he was going to sprint all the way to the finish line. In that case, I won't wait for him!

Bai Jinxuan used 7% of her internal energy to strengthen her body, and used the rest for sustain. Her figure was like a shooting star, quickly passing across the playground.

Seeing her start to sprint, Wu Jiantian also stopped playing it safe and followed suit.

"It's starting! It's starting! It's starting! As Li Jun unleashed his full potential, going from second to last to third place and completing a historic comeback, Bai Jinxuan and Wu Jiantian also began to accelerate!"

"These three runners are now one lap ahead of the others. Bai Jinxuan has regained the lead, Wu Jiantian is close behind, and Li Jun is closing in on them! Can he pull off this miraculous comeback?!"

"The three runners are very close together, only three body lengths apart! They can complete a lap in less than 20 seconds on average. Soon they will be two laps ahead of the other runners. At that point, it will be much more difficult for them to replicate Li Jun's performance!"

As Zhou Kai continued his explanation, time ticked by.

All the spectators perked up, their eyes fixed on the three streaks of color piercing the air at the front of the playground.

There are 25 laps left to go to the finish line.

Bai Jinxuan smiled. After running a few laps, she found that she had consumed less energy than she had expected.

To put it another way, she could have sprinted at 40 laps, but by delaying for 6 laps, she saved energy that allowed her to pull away from the others at a speed that swept across the track.

She had to admit that Li Jun and Wu Jiantian were indeed very strong, and this was only a mid-range race, yet it forced her to go all out.

But the championship will only belong to me; I will never let it go to anyone else.

This initial funding was crucial for her to break through the joint entrance exam rankings and gain a foothold among the true geniuses of No. 2 High School.

Yao Yao maintained her top ranking in liberal arts at No. 2 Middle School, while I, if I can't even get out of this small No. 5 Middle School, how can I talk about going to No. 2 Middle School?

Underground battles, the darkness of undeveloped areas, terrifying monsters, and a cold and ruthless black market.

She walked step by step, and all her experiences were condensed in her legs.

Speed ​​up! Accelerate towards the depths of the dungeon, towards the mouths of the grotesque monsters, towards the desolate land where death could come at any moment! Speed ​​up as fast as you can!

The body, honed over eight years, was now operating at full capacity.

With her energy regulation at its maximum, Bai Jinxuan felt a surge of energy within her, propelling her to run faster than the wind.
