Chapter 290 (1/2)

Dark Horse

The crowd believed that Zhao Youyue’s stamina had finally caved in, after seeing her finally slow down towards the end. Yu Jia, the sports student, who would never quit was almost catching up to her. Ultimately, she failed, her body having met its limits.

In reality, Yu Jia was a sports student, through and through. She had the stamina and athletism to be called one. Because she had been thrown off her tempo by Zhao Youyue’s cheats, she was out of the running. Otherwise, she could have won the race, even against a “Zhou Chun Card” empowered Zhao Youyue.

The card would never take Zhao Youyue over her limit, she would only be able to perform as well as she usually could, only for a greatly extended period of time. Even that cheat had been greatly depowered, as her beloved car was not with her

Therefore, Zhao Youyue did not break any records. She had even broken the rules by drinking water during the race.

That aside, everyone was left greatly astonished!

Yu Jia who was left far behind Zhao Youyue in the race had given up on even thinking about it. A total layman like Zhao Youyue had left her in the dust. She did not know how to describe Zhao Youyue’s technique, if any. Is this so-called talent?

Talent is the iron rule of sports. All this while, Yu Jia had always believed that she was rather talented in sports. It had not been a problem for her to achieve the title of the national second-class athlete. However, Zhao Youyue had completely rewritten everything she knew about running. She had been beaten to a pulp, and thought that she should just go home and get married!

At that moment, Yu Jia felt so wretched.

Hua Zhongchao, the president of the student union, who stood on the rostrum had thought that Zhao Youyue was just sprinting cluelessly in the beginning. Who would have thought that this fellow would actually manage to win the preliminary competition and qualify for the finals?

Tsk. He was growing curious about Zhao Youyue, and wanted to know her in more detail.

Besides that, Han Leng who thought that Zhao Youyue had grown up because of her apparent opinion that “involvement is everything” was dumbfounded too, after witnessing her reality-defying operation. He never expected that she would enter the finals. He would have been pleased enough if she had not placed last.

Zhao Youyue’s classmates surrounded her after seeing her was the first to cross the finish line. They cheered and applauded —

“Zhao Youyue, you are awesome! I never would have thought that you are good at sports too. You even beat a sports student!”

“Looks like you have been hiding your light under a bushel. Why didn’t you participate in the sports competition last year?”

“Missy, would you like to drink some water?”

“You nailed it beautifully, glory for our class!”

“You would probably sweep the finals clean too, right!”

Zhao Youyue had deactivated the Zhou Chun Card earlier on. After careful deliberation, she realized that Xiao Chun might ruin her image. That girl was stupid and cute, and would laugh out loud, thinking that she was a super talented king of long-distance running!
