Chapter 293: Showing Off

The two had already run 25 laps, or five thousand meters.

Even the onlooking students could not stand anymore. They were sitting on the ground.

Of course, Chen Zhao and Grint were still running on the track.

Chen Zhao was still talking incessantly, while Grint was already exhausted.

His pace had been completely disrupted by Chen Zhao. Actually, he should have slowed down after three thousand meters to conserve his stamina.

However, he forgot to slow down due to Chen Zhao’s voice.

“Bastard, can you shut up?!” Grint finally erupted.

“You don’t want to hear me speak? Fine, I’ll stay away from you.” Chen Zhao suddenly sped up.

Grint was left behind. He was surprised that Chen Zhao actually still had the stamina to accelerate.

Moreover, Chen Zhao’s speed was very fast. Was he sprinting with his last bit of energy?

It was still more than four thousand meters away from the finishing line. Sprinting so quickly would only kill him faster.

However, after a while, Grint heard Chen Zhao’s voice from behind.

“Huh, what a coincidence. We meet again.” Chen Zhao ran alongside Grint once again.

Grint stared at Chen Zhao in puzzlement, after which he turned to look at the audience. “Did he take a shortcut?”

Eveleigh shook her head. In fact, all the students saw Chen Zhao actually run one more lap than Grint.

That is to say, as long as Chen Zhao could persist until the end, he would win.

Everyone’s face turned pale.

They were going to lose money again…

Indeed, their worry came true. Grint suddenly collapsed onto the ground and foam flowed out from his mouth.

Chen Zhao immediately stopped to check his condition. Then, he waved his hand at the other students.

He originally thought that Grint would at least be able to finish the ten thousand meter race. He was trained in this, after all.

Chen Zhao did not expect Grint to collapse when there were still ten laps left.

Luckily, Grint was only severely dehydrated.

Chen Zhao approached Eveleigh and smiled. “I win this, right?”

“I thought you can’t even run five thousand meters?”

“I outperformed myself today, but can you please find a more professional one next time?” Chen Zhao said with a bright smile.

Chen Zhao was not panting at all. He clearly did not look like he could only run five thousand meters.

“What a lovely day. I won again.” Chen Zhao started counting the money again.

Eveleigh almost went mad. She had never met such an obnoxious person before.

The eyes of those students who had lost their money all grew red.

“Shameless!”

“Despicable!”

Eveleigh stared at Chen Zhao in anger. “You’ve been hiding your true capacities!”

“How? Since when?”

“You’re actually good at long-distance running and long jump!”

“And then? I told you I practiced long jump in primary school, and I also said I’m unsure if I can run ten thousand meters. What am I hiding?”

“You’re just being unreasonable!”

“Alright, let’s start the third round. This whole thing will be over if I win again, right? What are we competing next? Let’s do it quick.”

Eveleigh turned her head and stared at the other students. Most of them tried to avoid her look.

They were not confident that they could win Chen Zhao anymore. No one knew what Chen Zhao was good at.

If they were beaten by an outsider in their strongest field, it would really be embarrassing.

Chen Zhao looked at Eveleigh and then at the other students. “Does the college not have a single person who’s good at sports? Don’t you feel humiliated to lose to an outsider twice in a row?”

All the students were triggered by Chen Zhao’s words. They clenched their fists, their eyes burning with fury.

“I’ll play basketball with you! Street basketball!” another tall student shouted.

Chen Zhao glanced at him. “Buddy, you know that some forms of physical contact are allowed in basketball, right? You better stop challenging me, unless you want to visit the hospital.”

Even though Chen Zhao was significantly shorter than the student, he still threatened bluntly.

“Tarik, forget it.” Eveleigh did not plan to get anyone injured. She knew that Chen Zhao had beaten Tiger up.

Tiger was taller and stronger than Tarik, but he was still injured. If Tarik and Chen Zhao really played basketball, Chen Zhao might not win in terms of basketball skills.

But he would definitely win the matchup, given his shamelessness…

Therefore, they had to choose a sport that did not involve physical contact between players.

Just then, another student walked out. He was not as big as Tiger. In fact, he was even shorter than Chen Zhao, but he was very, very muscular.

“I’ll do it.”

Eveleigh’s eyes brightened. This is going to work!

Harrison was the strongest man in the entire college. He was the champion of the National College Weightlifting Competition.

Weighing 94kg, he was the record holder of the competition for his weight category. His snatch record was 145kg, and his clean and jerk record was 210kg, which was already an Olympics standard.

His snatch was slightly weaker. In fact, he had been practicing the snatch and was planning to sign up for the next Olympics.

“What is it? Wrestling?” It was Chen Zhao’s first impression of Harrison.

“Weightlifting,” Harrison said.

“That’s too much. How heavy is he, and how heavy am I? We’re not even in the same weight category.”

“You said yourself that all of us are even weaker than an outsider. What, are you scared now? Are you going to retreat?”

“But we can’t ignore the rules.”

“I don’t care. Unless you admit defeat and we go on to the next round.”

“Admit defeat is not in my dictionary.”

“Then you better add it now.”

Eveleigh could finally heave a sigh of relief.

At least Chen Zhao would lose once.

She would enjoy mocking him afterward.

“Does anyone want to bet? I’m definitely going to lose.”

Immediately, Eveleigh felt something was wrong.

Given Chen Zhao’s greedy nature, why would he continue to bet if he was not confident?

But he can’t possibly win…

Chen Zhao was certainly not as muscular as Harrison.

It was different from Bob and Grint. While they were much stronger than normal people, they were still weaker than professional athletes.

Harrison was different. He had the standards of a professional athlete or even an Olympic athlete.

“Harrison, are you confident of winning?”

“Of course, there’s no way such a small guy can beat me.” Harrison was very confident in his strength.

“You must win!” Eveleigh said.

“Of course. Leave it to me.”
