Chapter 815: Chapter 815

She even more wanted to prove that she was not inferior and could become Lin Baici’s right-hand man, earning his trust, and one day explore God’s ruins together.

Asiba raised a hand, wiping away the heavy sweat on her forehead.

She was sweating like syrup now; her whole body was like it had been fished out of water, and her tongue almost hung out.

Asiba panted and looked towards Lin Baici.

She discovered his breathing was steady as a horse; although he too was sweating, it was the normal kind from exercise.

"No wonder he’s Master Lin; his stamina is really awesome."

Asiba sighed and then turned to look at Xia Hongyao, who was running alongside Lin Baici, and got another shock. Chapters first released on NoveI★Fire.net

This girl’s physical strength was off the charts too!

These two lackeys are in great shape as well!

But it seems their brains aren’t quite right?

One was holding a doll and even talking to it from time to time—definitely a nutcase, right?

The other glanced at her when she looked his way and immediately slipped a hand into his pocket.

"It seems everyone still has energy to spare, how about we go a bit faster?"

Xia Hongyao looked surprised.

Her physical endurance was among the top in the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, yet today she had encountered four people who were her equals.

Of course, High Ponytail hadn’t given her all yet.

Lin Baici wanted to test his limit.

Che Zhengshuo kept his hand in his pocket, appearing indifferent but also harboring a competitive spirit.

Yi Jisheng couldn’t be bothered with such talk.

Asiba didn’t want to speed up, but since the girl had spoken and everyone else was in agreement, if she refused, wouldn’t she be throwing away the face of the Head People?

’Oppa, do you all have iron lungs or something?’ Asiba muttered to herself inwardly, but she still put on a nonchalant expression on her face.

Whoever doesn’t speed up is a loser.

Xia Hongyao pulled up her sportswear zipper and started to run seriously.

Everybody hurriedly picked up the pace.

At the stadium, some competitors had chosen to withdraw and were now sitting on the grass, watching the marathon race on the big screen.

Hua Yue Yu covered her face, no longer daring to watch.

Many were retching, some had diarrhea, and still, they had to keep running.

This was definitely a social death.

"Indeed, money makes the world go round!"

Gu Qingqiu, despite being well aware of the power of money, felt that this time it was a deeper realization.

This alumnus, in the end, hadn’t managed to finish that bowl of noodles.

"The small group from the Nine States has started to accelerate again!"

"They really are stamina monsters!"

The commentator’s voice rang out, and the image on the screen changed.

It was Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao’s group.

"That’s good! That’s good!"

Seeing that Lin Baici and his group were completely unaffected by the parasite, Hua Yue Yu breathed a deep sigh of relief.

"Ahead of them is just one Korean woman now!"

"The finish line isn’t far away, I wonder if this pair from the Nine States will snatch the championship away?"

"Let’s wait and see!"

The scene switched again, to Lin Yizhen, who was running relaxed. But all of the competitors felt that the Nine States group would soon catch up to her.

Because they were running too fast, too effortlessly.

"The championship should be secure now, right?"

Lin Yizhen saw the ten-kilometer marker on the side of the road, her face lighting up with joy.

I’m going to be number one!

But soon, she frowned again, thinking that in the future she would avoid participating in such sports if she could, as they had made her makeup a mess.

Lost in thought and pondering what the next big challenge would be, Lin Yizhen suddenly heard someone speaking.

"You have almost the same stamina as me?"

Xia Hongyao was surprised.

Lin Baici replied calmly and confidently.

"But you’ve only been a God Hunter for half a year!"

Xia Hongyao was shocked and saw Lin Baici in a new light, as if looking at a human-shaped beast: "Do you know? In the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, I’m known as a human motor!"

It means her stamina is limitless!

Lin Baici smiled and thought to himself that although he had been a God Hunter for only a short time, he could directly consume and digest Star Stones, and he had consumed quite a lot of them.

Right, he also had eaten the remnants of a God!

That stuff was a major tonic!

However, Lin Baici also knew that if he kept running , he would probably still be a step behind Xia Hongyao because High Ponytail had access to a lot of resources since she was young.

Xia Hongyao was about to speak, but suddenly shut her mouth, looked up, and saw a beautiful woman a few dozen meters ahead, looking back and forth.

"These people seem to be fine?"

Lin Yizhen scrutinized the group and frowned deeply. When her gaze met with Xia Hongyao’s, she immediately started to speed up.

Xia Hongyao, like a supercar, bolted, her long legs thundering, as swift as lightning.

Lin Yizhen had already pushed herself to the limit, but two minutes later, she was still overtaken by Xia Hongyao.

In that instant, Lin Yizhen felt murderous.

Lin Yizhen cursed under her breath and subconsciously reached out to grab Xia Hongyao’s ponytail.

But just before she could grasp it, a long arm suddenly stretched out.

Lin Baici grabbed Lin Yizhen’s wrist.

"What do you think you’re doing?"

Lin Baici’s eyes were piercing.

Lin Yizhen, startled, quickly explained, "There was a bug, I was trying to help her get rid of it!"

"Humph, want to play dirty? Bring it on!"

Lin Baici snorted coldly, let go of Lin Yizhen’s hand, and chased after Xia Hongyao.

Lin Yizhen watched the backs of this despicable pair, wanting so badly to attack them, to kill them, but in the end, she didn’t dare.

"Just you wait for the next challenge, Shangzheng Oppa will carve you up!"

Lin Yizhen viciously spat out.

Taking third place is fine too!

But soon, Yi Jisheng also ran past her.

Lin Yizhen was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode; she burst into a full sprint, but because she had just chased after Xia Hongyao, she had wasted a lot of energy and now struggled to keep up.

"Stop competing, or you might not even keep fifth place!"

Che Zhengshuo, with one hand in his pocket, ran past Lin Yizhen. If he didn’t see her as a fellow Korean, he wouldn’t have bothered to warn her.

"Who the hell are you?"

Lin Yizhen shot back, "Mind your own business!"

Che Zhengshuo frowned, gave Lin Yizhen a deep look, and then ran on ahead.

Lin Yizhen spit again.

Caiwen had given up, it originally planned to let Lin Baici cross the finish line first when they got there, to owe it a favor, but it hadn’t expected him to be so strong.

As they turned a corner, there was a long straight road ahead, and five hundred meters away, they could see the finish line.

On both sides of the street, many citizens who learned about the racers reaching the finish line through TV and radio took up flowers and confetti tubes, and as Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao ran by, they began to shower them.

"Go for it, overtake her!"

"Oppa, don’t lose to a woman; take first place!"

"Aren’t you a woman? Why aren’t you cheering for that female contestant?"

"Can’t I like handsome guys?"

The citizens chattered away.

Logically speaking, the sprint to the finish line for the championship would ignite the competition’s heat and the audience’s enthusiasm, but Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao looked casual.

At the moment when they were about to cross the line, the two stopped simultaneously, as if by agreement.

Xia Hongyao was surprised.

Lin Baici gestured with an outstretched hand, signaling for High Ponytail to cross the line.

"I’m the team leader, I should let the honor go to a team member!"

High Ponytail said, and with a push on Lin Baici’s back, she sent him over the finish line before she too ran over and leaped onto his back.

"Oye, we won, champions!"

High Ponytail riding on Lin Baici’s back caught a bouquet thrown by a citizen and waved it vigorously.

"Did you let me cross the line just so you could ride on my back?"

Lin Baici teased, feeling a bear on top of his head.

"Next time you can ride."

Xia Hongyao was very happy.

Teaming up with Lin Baici was great; she always got to taste victory.

Che Zhengshuo crossed the line with his hands in his pockets, watching Lin Baici support Xia Hongyao to celebrate with Yi Jisheng, feeling a bit envious of their friendship.

I really want to see the big world!

On the TV screen, Lin Baici was displayed.

"Congratulations to this young man from the Nine States for taking the champion title in the Big Stomach King Challenge!"

"Let’s give him a round of applause!"

Hua Yue Yu clapped happily to the broadcast.

Five hours later, as the last contestant crossed the finish line, this socially devastating spicy noodle marathon came to a close.

"All competitors, please gather at Gwangju dock by 12 noon tomorrow!"

"To embark on the second great challenge journey!"

Each competitor received a notification from the organizers.

Without any rest, they headed straight into the second event.
