Orc Undead Sports Warrior

Chapter 185 Breaking the National Record Again

"Lu Wei made even the usually expressionless Hu Huo tense up. Interesting, haha!"

Perhaps track and field is not the ultimate goal for Hu-Huo on the long road of life, but it is clear that at this moment he really wants to prove himself on the track.

When the command to take their positions was given, Hu Huo subconsciously adjusted the black-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. These glasses didn't make him look old-fashioned; behind them was a fair, young face.

His eyes were wide open, appearing exceptionally large when viewed through them, with the whites of his eyes noticeably larger than usual.

Hu and Huo were staring at the runway as if a potential enemy was lurking there.

He was like a cat, ready for battle, his fur standing on end.

The enemy he was waiting for was undoubtedly Lu Wei, who was crouching beside him.

"preparation!"

After the referee gave the order, Hugh Jackson's face even looked a bit ferocious, as if he was about to take his opponent down with him at any moment.

The starting gun fired, and Lu Wei seemed to have made it a habit, taking his first step as if he didn't need to react at all after the gun went off.

At this moment, Hu Huo gritted his teeth and, as if using all his strength, desperately used his legs to push himself off the starting blocks.

"Ouch!"

Wang Qiao was surprised at this moment; he was already used to Lu Wei's starting reaction. Hu Huo, however, unleashed his full potential under the pressure of his powerful opponent, running close behind Lu Wei.

Every stage of life needs a competitor to spur you on and force you to improve.

Perhaps he pushed too hard at the start. During the transition from when Lu Wei stepped off the starting blocks to when he stagnated in the early stages of the race, Hu Huo himself was also a bit unsteady. He must have given it his all, but his body may not have been used to starting like that.

If Hu Huo doesn't narrow the gap with Lu Wei further in this round, his chances in the later matches will probably be slim. Perhaps Hu Huo understands this fact, but he still wants to give it a try.

Up until the 50-meter mark, Hughes stayed close to Lu Wei. During this time, Lu Wei didn't pull away, which was quite remarkable.

Most domestic sprinters were left behind by Lu Wei's first step, so Hu and Huo's start was a high-level performance.

Scholars can be proud, and after Zhang Yuanteng took the national championship, he didn't react much. Sports weren't the end of his life; he could return to Tsinghua University to continue his studies when his performance declined slightly, where he still had unfulfilled life ideals.

Today, facing Lu Wei, Hu Huo, who usually intimidated his opponents with his aura, seemed eager to prove himself. He absolutely refused to allow someone who could casually choose to practice javelin or run the 100-meter dash to easily defeat him.

Besides achievements, there is perhaps something else that someone is persisting in.

Hu and Huo had not given up hope at this point; they still wanted to overtake them.

However, they've now entered Lu Wei's rhythm, and in this phase, Lu Wei is virtually unmatched domestically. Seeing Lu Wei widen the gap with every step he takes, Hu Huo's expression clearly shows his resentment.

He was still desperately swinging his arms and pushing off the ground; as long as he could hold on, there was still a chance.

However, sometimes the facts are not subject to personal will. At this time, in addition to mental energy, there is a lack of strength to defeat Lu Wei.

As Lu Wei gradually shook off him, Hu Huo suddenly smiled.

It was as if he was saying, "This guy is even more difficult to deal with than I imagined, but I've already given it my all!"

In less than 40 meters, Lu Wei had already pulled ahead of Hu Huo by more than two meters. With the finish line fast approaching, the suspense of the race had been killed.

Perhaps realizing the problem, the two relaxed their bodies almost at the same time. It was only 10 meters; they could just use their momentum to glide to the finish line, since there was still the final match to come.

After the two ran across the finish line, the audience gave them a warm round of applause. In a competition with three rounds in one day, this was a mature and high-level semi-final, and both of them gave full play to their abilities in the competition.

After giving it their all, the two of them saved their strength for the final, so they could have another chance then.

After crossing the finish line, Lu Wei was panting heavily with his head tilted back. It felt like he had swum laps in the pool, and his first reaction upon waking was not exhaustion, but desperately trying to breathe.

Hu Huo was in a much worse state. He was bent over, with his hands on his thighs, breathing heavily. Judging from his expression, he was in far more pain than Lu Wei.

Given the circumstances, he clearly had to put in a lot more effort.

Just as he stood up, Lu Wei reached out his hand. It was supposed to be a handshake, but Lu Wei ended up helping him up.

Perhaps Lu Wei wanted to remind him that he shouldn't lose his composure just because he lost the game.

Hu Huo seemed to realize this at this moment. He smiled, straightened up, and used his right hand to tidy his hair.

In the short time it took to move and listen, I started sweating, which just goes to show how intense sprinting really is.

"Not bad, I almost ran out of breath and still couldn't catch up with you!" Hu Huo laughed as he spoke, then turned and walked towards the stands.

At this moment, Lu Wei smiled and patted Hu Huo on the shoulder. Right now, whether he said "You ran very well" or "Keep it up," it would sound like he was talking to someone from a superior position. Rather than that, it was better to say nothing.

"Hu Huo got off to a good start! He's made Lu Wei look really bad!"

At this moment, Yu Wei, contrary to his usual behavior, came up and spoke to Hu Huo first.

These proud team members always treat their work with respect for sports and deserve the same respect.

Even if he can't outrun Lu Wei, he is still the champion of the University Games and the fastest graduate student in the world.

Anyone can look up to a high-achieving student with speed and energy with a degree of respect.

"There is still a pause in the transition between the first few steps and the subsequent movements. We need to continue to improve our core strength after the race."

Wang Qiao gave each of the two men a bottle of mineral water, and while Yu Wei and Hu Huo were talking, he turned to Lu Wei and said something.

"I felt that my waist was a little weak at that time."

After Lu Wei finished speaking, he took a big gulp of water. It seemed that this accessory was not as good as the original. He subconsciously missed his original body again. Although it was not as young as his current body, it was much more durable.

"Xiao Lu, your performance this time... haha! You're simply a genius!"

When Yu Wei finished speaking, his voice was drowned out by the cheers of the surrounding audience.

This scene was almost a carbon copy of the morning's preliminary rounds; the audience erupted in cheers as soon as the results were announced.

Lu Wei improved his national record to 10.08 seconds, and that was with some hesitation in the last 10 meters.

At this moment, Hu Huo was the first to come up and hug Lu Wei, and he was definitely sincere.

His mindset is exactly like that of an athlete. Losing to the national record holder is not shameful, especially since he ran 10.26 seconds, which is a little slower than his best time, so it's not bad.
