The Dragon King's Son-in-law

The Dragon King's Son-in-law
Forward on!


The four contestants including Hao Ren shot out almost at the same time.


Hao Ren's starting point seemed to be the most advanced, but he was, in fact, the farthest from the deepest trajectory. Since the runners would cut the inside track as soon as they started the 1500-meter race, Hao Ren would have to do the same. By the time he cut into the inside track, he was the second-last runner while the runners who started from the nearest track into the inside track all ran in front of him.


As for Huang Xujie, due to his superiority in imposing his muscles, he managed to take the leading position despite his starting point on the seventh trajectory. The situation was as already mentioned that Hao Ren had to pass six out of seven runners before he could run against Huang Xujie and win the match. During that process, he had to make sure he was not defeated by those he had passed through.


In the audience stands, Xie Yujia slightly frowned as she looked at the unfortunate starting point that Hao Ren had taken. Zhao Yanzi also stared at the match trajectory anxiously as if he was also worried about Hao Ren's performance.


Meanwhile, the eight runners had aligned on the inside track along with Hao Ren who was looming behind. He does not look eager to surpass any runner and other runners are also satisfied with the current position as they save their manpower and try to get past the others at the right time.


Now, Huang Xujie was leading the match while the others followed closely. Just by looking at them, it seemed that they were training to run a long-distance marathon.


"Come on!Comeing! Huang Xujie's! Comeing! Comeing! Huang Xujie!"


The girls cheers are getting louder.


Some of them even rushed down from the stands and into the field to cheer for Huang Xujie.


Due to their large numbers, the volunteers responsible for maintaining order were unable to keep them all outside and so were forced to tolerate them as long as they did not disturb the match.


As if they were watching a car race event, they formed a circle around the track as they cheered Huang Xujie up close.


After considering, Xie Yujia also got off the stands and walked onto the field to cheer Hao Ren up.


Currently, the runners have completed one lap of 400 meters. They start to show fatigue when their pace is not as fast as it was at the start of the race.


The competition for stamina has begun


Hao Ren was the first to catch up with his opponent.


From his initial seventh position, he passed two runners at once.


"Forward!" Standing at the side of the field, Xie Yujia raised both of her hands to encourage him.


The actions that Hao Ren had taken did not attract much attention as he was still at the back end of the line. More attention is focused on runners in second place and third place who continue to pass each other.


Huang Xujie, on the other hand, was now so far ahead of everyone that no one could threaten his leading position.


After passing two runners, Hao Ren steadied his speed and adjusted his breathing before adding speed and passing another runner.


The runner who had been in fourth place deliberately stepped to the right trying to block the path of Hao Ren. Yet Hao Ren easily dodged his obstruction and made it through.


Xie Yujia was amazed by her delicate movements.


Standing in the stands, Zhao Yanzi's eyes also sparkled as Hao Ren's movements contained the life and death steps emanating from the Eight Trigrams. It was not a movement that Hao Ren had learned and imitated; it was a natural movement.


"Could it be that he accidentally reached the first level of the Soul Concentration Scroll and understood the workings of the world?" Zhao Yanzi wondered.


He wanted to go down to the field and take a closer look, but he gave up on the idea knowing he wouldn't be able to see much because of his small body. Giving up, he stayed in the stands.


After taking fourth place, Hao Ren slowly gained pace and moved closer to the second-place runner and third-place runner who repeatedly passed each other.


Now the attention of the people finally moved to Hao Ren.


In the stands, Zhao Jiayi and the men had been watching the race ever since it took place. They were really worried because of the bets they made.


Seeing Hao Ren pass the runners one after the other, Zhao Jiayi smiled happily as most of the men in the betting class Hao Ren ended up in last place, second last or sixth. If Hao Ren wins fourth, he's the bookie, he'll be rich with all his money.


"It's no use. He was galloping now, but later he would be passable," Yu Rong who bet 100-yuan on Hao Ren getting second last place said firmly.


"Yes, if he doesn't store his energy, he can't keep his place in the last round." The others agree with him.


"Hao Ren, good boy! You can take fourth place in this highly competitive Athletics Match. Even though you are only temporarily at the fourth rank, this is an excellent achievement," Zhao Jiayi thought to herself .


Zhao Jiayi knew how great runners competed on the track. He was even close to some of them, as he had played basketball with them, they were the champions of the local municipality or in being first or second in the provincial level matches. If the gamblers in the stands were on the track to compete with them, now, they would miss at least more than half a round. That was why Hao Ren's fourth position was such a great achievement.


Zhao Jiayi caught a glimpse of the figure of Xie Yujia who was supporting Hao Ren while running with him. Gazing at that excited and young Xie Yujia figure, Zhao Jiayi silently lamented that the luck Hao Ren had the support and encouragement of such a beautiful person.


The drape! The drape!


Hao Ren's feet treaded firmly on the synthetic trajectory while his hands swung systematically.


His steps looked heavy, but the fresh breeze was with him as he passed by the audience. After Hao Ren took the fourth position, the students in the stands and around the field began to realize the usual runner number eight. With a red face, he had steadily drove on without looking too tired.


"Who is this man …. "


"Is he from the Mechatronics Engineering Department?"


"He was at the back end at the time the game started …."


People started talking about Hao Ren because they found the runner with the number eight mark on his chest running steadily and even slowly getting faster while the others started to slow down.


Xie Yujia watched Hao Ren as she passed the turn in front of him and saw the sweat droplets on Hao Ren's face clearly. He was touched by her stern expression.


Hao Ren looked at the ground in front of him and did not realize there were many beautiful girls cheering Huang Xujie on.


However, when real responsibility falls on his shoulders ….


Sweat fell from his chin. Some wet their shirts while the rest fall onto the track and break apart before sinking to the ground.


While the other girls were still cheering Huang Xujie on because of his handsome face and attractive figure, Xie Yujia was attracted to Hao Ren.


In the audience stands, Zhao Yanzi's eyes locked onto Hao Ren and gradually understood his movements. Every step of Hao Ren seems to contain Taoist principles and until his steps are unusually steady and strong. A unique aura was seen surrounding him while the essence of nature flowed through him, his aura gradually changing due to all these things.


Zhao Yanzi was unable to understand this. He wished Su Han was here because he would be able to explain to him at what level Hao Ren was now at.


He did not realize the most important thing for cultivation was the unity between one's mind and soul. Hao Ren had done better than him in this field.


On the roof of the stadium nearby, Su Han in her blue dress stood against the blue sky and looked at the race attentively. He nodded with appreciation and instantly disappeared.


While the runners of second place and third place were still trying to get past each other, like a ghost hovering, Hao Ren passed through the two easily.


They were extremely shocked and attempted to defeat him, but Hao Ren only left them in a puff of dust!


In their panic, they were unaware of Hao Ren's light steps. His steps were silent and his breathing was calm. Like he was walking! There is no way another runner would compete with him! He looks like he's flying!


"No way!" In the audience stands reserved for the Hao Ren class, all the men stood up and were stunned.


In the blink of an eye, Hao Ren's sequence had changed from seventh to second!


No one knew how it happened even though Hao Ren had passed his opponents one after another before their eyes!


Hearing the sighs of astonishment of the audience, Huang Xujie who had taken the lead easily turned his head. He was surprised the second runner almost caught up with him.


This second runner was none other than "the sophomore" whom he looked down upon.


Distracted, he tripped and nearly fell. This dangerous movement gave rise to a wave of agitated screams among the girls.


Huang Xujie did not pay attention to the cries of the girls' attention to him. In fact, he felt humiliated by that voice. He gritted his teeth and was determined not to allow Hao Ren to approach him.


Huang Xujie suddenly sped up and the cheers of the girls grew louder along with his speed.


"Come on! Comeing! Huang Xujie!" a crisp voice appeared among the others.


Hao Ren turned his head slightly and saw the girl who was touted as the most popular in the university, Lin Li cheered for Huang Xujie next to the track.


"Damn! That woman is so flashy!" Zhao Jiayi stood up in anger as she saw Lin Li cheering for Huang Xujie.


Although Lin Li was not in their class, she was in the same major as Zhao Jiayi and Hao Ren. Zhao Jiayi would understand if Lin Li did not cheer for Hao Ren because they were not in the same class, but now Lin Li was supporting Huang Xujie who was Hao Ren's competitor from another major! Zhao Jiayi was unable to accept this.


In fact, the other men from the Hao Ren class and some men from the Third Class were also very angry. After all, it didn't matter that someone didn't take part in the event, but he had to keep the honor of the majors.


On the track, Huang Xujie thought he had moved away from Hao Ren and relaxed a little. However, as he looked back, he saw Hao Ren chasing steadily.


He's back to speed. As he looked back, Hao Ren was still chasing after him at a steady pace.


"This guy's like a sticky candy.. The last time I saw him train at night, he didn't look like he could be my rival …."


For the first time Huang Xujie felt threatened. He turned his head to look at Hao Ren at a glance, and he found his rival looking calm and breathing regularly. His opponent ran in perfect style!


"Maybe he doesn't consider me his rival? Is he just trying to surpass himself? Is it possible in her eyes, I'm nothing?"


This thought suddenly appeared in Huang Xujie.


Seeing Hao Ren getting closer step by step, Huang Xujie who wanted first place immediately caught his breath and sped away.


Seeing the distance between Huang Xujie and Hao Ren getting shorter, Lin Li who was wearing a mini skirt cheered for Huang Xujie again.


Xie Yujia happened to be standing nearby, and she grew even more furious while she watched. He deliberately elbowed the excited Lin Li at his waist.


"Aw!" Lin Li frowned while putting his hands on his waist and flipped furiously at the person next to him.


By the time he saw Xie Yujia, the Class Leader of Second Class, his arrogance immediately diminished. He glared at Xie Yujia unhappily.


"Sorry." Xie Yujia apologized insincerely before carrying her palm around her mouth forming a trumpet, "Come on!Comeing! Hao Ren!" he yelled.


Lin Li gnashed her white teeth while she glared at Xie Yujia. But he did not dare to let go of his anger. He knew Xie Yujia's great reputation at university; xie Yujia was even on good terms with those formidable figures.


As Xie Yujia cheered loudly for Hao Ren, Lin Li was ashamed of himself and no longer cheered on Huang Xujie.


As the race progresses, the distance between the runners gets bigger. Runners in last place lagged half a lap behind first place runners, and competition for higher places was still fierce.


Hao Ren and Huang Xujie took the lead; the third-ranked runner was far behind them while the fourth-ranked runner was soon able to pass the third-ranked runner.


As for the other participants, they were unable to attract the attention of the audience.


In the stands, Ling suddenly looked at Zhao Yanzi and praised, "Zi, your 'uncle' is quite good at long distance running races."


"Of course.." Zhao Yanzi moved her lips proudly.
