NOVPUBXiao Hu only felt a shadow flash by his side, so fast that he couldn’t even see clearly what it was.
The audience in the stands was boiling over with excitement.
"Damn, what kind of running is that? I’ve never seen anything like it!"
"Ignorant, aren’t you? I’ve seen it before, but only in anime."
"Running on hands and feet? Isn’t that too damn childish? But can you really run that fast with it?"
"Is this a frail college student? He is more like a zombie!"
Wu Bin’s running style was indeed too eerie.
Not only were the spectators in the stands stunned, but so were a group of professional sports students.
"Coa... coach, what kind of running is that? You’ve never taught us that."
Chen Feng’s face darkened.
Teach my ass, he had only seen that kind of running when he was a kid playing with other little brats.
Chen Feng said solemnly, "That running style isn’t the fastest. I can do the ’Naruto Run.’ Do you want me to teach you?"
Qin Fan’s eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, I want to learn the ’Naruto Run’!"
With one kick, Chen Feng sent him flying.
His disciples, all muscle and no brain. Where in this world is there such a thing as ’Naruto’? Too much anime, obviously!
However, the speed demonstrated by Wu Bin with that eerie stance once again made Chen Feng deep in thought.
It shouldn’t be!
Humans, to a large degree, stand at the top of the food chain because they can run upright.
In ancient times, the ability to stand upright might seem simple, but it was actually a remarkable evolution.
Such evolution had several advantages:
It was intimidating, making oneself appear bigger and tougher to mess with, just like a cobra raises its body before striking to look intimidating.
Standing also broadened one’s field of vision and allowed reaching for fruits in the trees, increasing food sources.
Being able to run while standing was definitely a great evolution!
After tens of thousands of years of evolution, the human body structure had fully adapted to running upright, which is why the tail, which helped with balance, had degenerated, and the forelimbs had become shorter than the hind limbs.
In theory, with such evolution, reverting to quadrupedal running should have greatly limited speed!
Yet Wu Bin broke that limitation.
Every kick Wu Bin made was strong and powerful.
He was like a cheetah, but instead of running, it was more like he was leaping.
Kick, leap, land, kick again, leap, land...
With every leap, Wu Bin jumped several meters.
This wasn’t just running; it was practically gliding close to the ground!
Among the astonished stares of the spectators, Wu Bin crossed the finish line.
The final time—35.44 seconds!
After seeing this result, everyone was on the edge of their seats.
Xu Wenyao, who had been calm and composed until now, suddenly stood up and roared.
"Yes!"
Xu Wenyao’s roar startled everyone around him.
Jiang Qi was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack.
Xu Wenyao clapped furiously, and the thoughtful cameraman gave him a close-up.
At this moment, Xu Wenyao didn’t care about his image as a school leader at all.
Wasn’t Jiang Qi teasing him just now?
"The higher you fly, the harder you fall."
Now who is in a worse state?
Your hired gun got totally blasted by our frail college student!
Xu Wenyao, filled with emotion, shouted at Jiang Qi, "Director Jiang, this is my proud student, impressive, right? Just say it, impressive right?"
Jiang Qi, impatient, didn’t bother to respond.
Xu Wenyao had no intention of letting him off, continuing to shout at Jiang Qi.
"What kind of professional athlete ends up getting completely outclassed by Wu Bin, a student without any formal training? Do you guys even know how to play?"
"Come on, speak up!"
Jiang Qi was utterly disrupted by Xu Wenyao.
You’re a principal, at least mind your image, come on!
Seeing Xu Wenyao preparing to grab the microphone, Jiang Qi was terrified.
He wouldn’t be wanting to passionately take the mic, would he?
Jiang Qi was scared and quickly gave in.
"Alright, alright, impressive, okay? Principal Xu, as a role model, mind your image, please sit down."
The other teachers also quickly came over to smooth things over.
After all, it was a live broadcast, and getting too excited wasn’t good.
A among the teachers present, Yang Kang was the most shocked.
Initially, when Jiang Qi provoked them, Xu Wenyao was calm and composed.
Yang Kang thought it was because Xu Wenyao was very cultured and could keep his cool.
But now, it didn’t seem like that at all!
Yang Kang’s look towards Xu Wenyao shifted from shock to confusion, and finally to fervent admiration!
This is the Principal Xu I know and admire!
Indifferent in the face of life and death, if you don’t agree, bring it on!
When I am at a disadvantage, I say nothing, keeping to myself.
When I am at an advantage, I passionately take the mic, taunting face to face!
If my thoughts aren’t clear, I might as well not be a principal!
...
Exchange student rest area.
A group of exchange students stared dumbfounded at the score Wu Bin achieved.
They had suspected that the agricultural college might tamper with the timing to salvage some pride, so they had prepared their own stopwatches and recorded the whole process, ready to appeal later.
But now, it appeared that all their preparations were futile.
Wu Bin’s score was simply too dazzling.
Keep in mind that the world record for the 400-meter sprint is just 43 seconds!
That means Wu Bin, with a very bizarre running posture, had just broken the world record!
After Wu Bin crossed the finish line, the reporters went crazy.
They had witnessed a miracle!
The reporters, with their microphones, rushed over wanting to interview Wu Bin.
However, Wu Bin paid no attention to the reporters and walked straight up to Hendi.
"I won, remember our bet?"
Hendi clenched his fists tightly, saying nothing.
Wu Bin sneered, "Kunlun slave, you can book your ticket back to America now; don’t think about sticking around in Dragon Country."
Kunlun slave? A bet?
The surrounding reporters’ eyes lit up when they heard Wu Bin say this.
It seemed there was a serious conflict between the two!
And it was no small matter!
The reporters immediately grabbed their microphones to ask questions.
"Could you please tell us, Wu Bin, why do you call him a ’Kunlun slave’? Is there any previous issue between you two?"
"Wu Bin, how did you think to run in that posture? How did you manage to keep your balance while running?"
"Wu Bin, having broken the world record for the 400-meter sprint, do you plan to represent Dragon Country in the next Olympics?"
Wu Bin gave the reporters a smile but did not reply.
Just then, Yang Kang arrived with a group of agricultural college security in time and blocked the reporters.
"Dear journalist friends, Wu Bin has other events to prepare for; please do not disturb his rest."
