Old Hua glanced at the students below the stage and continued speaking into the microphone:
"Without further delay, next up is the 1000-meter race. I look forward to seeing your outstanding performances in the upcoming events!"
Upon hearing that the first event was a 1000-meter race, many students' faces turned sour.
Damn, starting with a 1000-meter race? After running that, who the hell will have the energy for the following events?
Sighs filled the air across the field as, except for a few students with exceptional athletic abilities, the rest headed to the testing area with drooping spirits.
It's worth mentioning that the students from North Hill High School showed no signs of distress on their faces; instead, they were brimming with fighting spirit.
Many were puzzled by this. Wasn't North Hill High School notoriously known as the school of weaklings?
Why do these guys seem as if they've been injected with chicken blood? Could they have used stimulants?
As Chu Yi led the students from North Hill High School to the testing area, the South Hill High School students who had mocked them the previous afternoon suddenly approached the front of their line.
Chen Yujie, leading the group with a mocking smile, said to the North Hill students:
"I hope you'll impress me as much as you boasted yesterday. Let's see just how high the athletic standards of North Hill High School students are."
Chen Hao, unimpressed by Chen Yujie's words, rolled his eyes slyly and reached into his pocket as if searching for something, then mischievously gestured for Chen Yujie to come closer:
"Classmate, come here, I've got something good for you. You'll know how high our athletic level is after you see this!"
Hearing this, Chen Yujie snorted but still walked over to Chen Hao: "What is it? I'm curious to see what can prove your athletic level."
"Heh, you'll see!" Chen Hao said, swiftly pulling his hand out of his pocket.
A straight and very slender middle finger!
Chen Yujie was taken aback at first, then his face turned ashen as he pointed at Chen Hao: "You just wait; you better not encounter me in the competition!"
"Pfft, with your skills, even if I gave you a two-minute head start, you couldn't beat me!" Chen Hao watched the infuriated Chen Yujie with a grin, raising his middle finger with his other hand.
"We'll see about that!"
After Chen Yujie left, Chu Yi turned to the North Hill students and asked: "Kids, did you all remember what I told you yesterday?"
"We remember!"
The students from North Hill High School shouted in unison.
This sudden roar startled the surrounding students, who cast puzzled glances their way, looking at the North Hill students as if they were fools.
Chu Yi nodded in satisfaction, then gestured to Chen Hao: "Mouse, you take the students to register. I have some things to take care of."
Chen Hao nodded, his face alight with excitement, truly looking forward to the expressions on everyone's faces later!
After giving his instructions, Chu Yi turned and walked towards Qin Changshu.
Qin Changshu, seeing Chu Yi approaching, felt a surge of panic.
Damn, did I do something to displease this ancestor again?
I've been busy with the sports college entrance exam these days, haven't I?
Could it be that he's just in a bad mood and looking for trouble with me?
As Chu Yi drew closer, Qin Changshu braced himself and asked: "Mr. Chu, is there something you need from me?"
Chu Yi nodded, then pointed at the students from South Hill High School and said with ill intent:
"Make sure to pair up students from North Hill High School with those from South Hill High School in the upcoming matches."
Indeed, Chu Yi had approached Qin Changshu because he was in charge of arranging the test participants.
Hearing this, Qin Changshu's face showed a hint of difficulty. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke: "Mr. Chu, the arrangements have already been made in advance…"
Before he could finish, Chu Yi glanced over at Qin Changshu: "What's the problem, can't it be done?"
Qin Changshu felt the air around him freeze, even the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.
He shivered involuntarily and without further hesitation, nodded repeatedly: "Alright, alright, we'll do as you say, Mr. Chu…"
Isn't this just bullying the honest?
After getting the answer he wanted, Chu Yi turned and left.
Qin Changshu, standing behind Chu Yi, watched him with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Damn it, this is what a true genius looks like, improving so much in just a few days!
After another glance at Chu Yi, Qin Changshu waved his hand, and a Biotics Man from the Alien Abilities Management Bureau approached him: "Commander Qin, what are your orders?"
"Rearrange the order of the test participants, ensuring that every student from North Hill High School faces someone from South Hill High School."
"Yes."
***
When Chu Yi returned to the North Hill High School team, the students had already entered the preparation area.
If it had been a week earlier, the students from North Hill High School would still be warming up.
But now, the situation was different. A mere 1000 meters didn't even warrant a warm-up for them.
With their current physical condition, running 1000 meters wouldn't even count as a warm-up!
The students from North Hill High School stood out among the crowd like cranes among chickens.
Watching the other schools' students meticulously warming up, they felt a sense of loneliness from their high vantage point.
These ordinary mortals, needing to warm up for a mere 1000 meters.
Low, too low!
Alas, the path of cultivation is truly lonely!
The efficiency of the Alien Abilities Management Bureau's team was high, and the newly arranged order was quickly announced.
When Chen Yujie saw the announced order, he was stunned for a moment, then a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face.
This was pure divine assistance!
The 1000-meter test was conducted in groups, with each group consisting of eight people.
And in every group that included a student from South Hill High School, there was bound to be one from North Hill High School!
Chen Yujie's face revealed a sneer, then he turned to the eager South Hill students beside him and said: "In the upcoming race, each of you must lap those North Hill losers by a full circle, or never claim to be from South Hill High School again!"
