Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

"Alright, all athletes in the first group have now finished their races," the commentator shouted into the microphone. "Where's the timing board? Let's see how the first group fared!"

Because it was a school-organized sports meet, there was only a small timing board, 1 meter long and 60 centimeters wide, and the numbers on it were not visible from a distance.

The on-site commentator walked a few steps forward before reading out the numbers.

"First place, contestant number six, Xu Zhiyi: 11.51 seconds!"

Second place, contestant number five Zhang Peng: 11.99 seconds!

... "

11.51 seconds?

Most viewers are unaware of this number.

Those who follow track and field events may know that the world record for the men's 100 meters is 9.58 seconds and the Asian record is 9.83 seconds, but they may not know the results of other athletes.

However, Zhang Peng was very clear about it.

This result is already at the top level of the school team.

There are only a handful of athletes on the entire school track and field team who can consistently achieve this result!

Has this guy really never trained before?

Zhang Peng was somewhat skeptical.

How could you achieve such a result if you hadn't trained?

"What just happened, Zhang Peng?"

At this moment, Li Rui and the others walked over, their faces filled with surprise and disbelief.

"That guy actually surpassed you!"

"It was my mistake!" Zhang Peng said solemnly, "I underestimated him at first, and then I hesitated when I saw him catching up, and I didn't seize the right moment to sprint."

He seriously reflected on his mistakes.

He definitely didn't perform well just now!

It's worth noting that he broke the 11-second barrier last year, reaching the level of a second-level athlete.

Li Rui nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Then you'd better perform well in the finals, or you'll really lose to that guy!"

"Don't worry, I won't give him another chance next time!"

Zhang Peng appeared very confident.

……

On the other side, as soon as Xu Zhiyi crossed the finish line, Wang Kai excitedly ran over.

He was even more excited than Xu Zhiyi herself, his face flushed with excitement, accompanied by the class monitor and several other classmates who had come to participate in the sports meet.

"Holy crap! That's awesome!"

Wang Kai grabbed Xu Zhiyi's arm and looked him up and down as if he were meeting him for the first time. "Old Xu! No, God Xu! You're amazing! You even beat Zhang Peng!"

11 second 51!

This must be at the level of a professional athlete, right?

The class monitor, standing nearby, was also a little excited. Looking at Xu Zhiyi, he laughed and said, "You, Xu Zhiyi, I was wondering why you signed up for so many projects. Turns out you've been hiding your true abilities!"

Xu Zhiyi just smiled.

At this point, it would be somewhat inappropriate to say something humble.

When they returned to the preparation area, Lin Wei came over with her friends.

The short-haired girl's eyes sparkled, making no attempt to hide her admiration. "Wow, Xu Zhiyi! You were a step behind at the start but still managed to catch up. Looks like those muscles of yours aren't just for show!"

"You've really never trained before?" The girl with the ponytail looked at Xu Zhiyi curiously. "If you haven't trained before, then your athletic talent is really outrageous. Why don't you consider joining our track and field team?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Sports don't add extra points anymore. Why would a top student like him join the track and field team? To train with you? You wish!"

"Hehe, if a handsome guy like that really trained with me every day, I'd definitely train hard every single day and wouldn't slack off at all!"

Amidst the laughter and commotion, Lin Wei looked at Xu Zhiyi seriously and said, "Don't be too happy yet. Zhang Peng probably underestimated his opponent and didn't use his full strength."

He will definitely give it his all in the finals.

You'll have to be extra careful then!

Xu Zhiyi nodded, indicating that she understood.

He felt very relaxed during the match just now.

11 seconds 51

This was just the beginning, not his limit!

The game continues.

Because there are many projects and little time, many competitions are held simultaneously.

A large crowd gathered around each competition venue.

But the most lively area was the running section.

Running is a sport with no barriers to entry, and there are naturally many spectators.

Moreover, the first match featured the explosive scene of the "defending champion losing," which attracted many viewers who were not initially interested.

Even some physical education teachers who were originally referees for other events handed over their duties to others and came over to watch the excitement.

Soon, the remaining four preliminary rounds concluded in turn.

Apart from the upset in Zhang Peng and Xu Zhiyi's group, the results of the other groups were largely as expected, with Li Rui and several other sports students successfully advancing to the finals.

The finalists have been selected.

Six out of ten contestants are students with athletic talents.

"Athletes, get ready to enter!"

Under the guidance of the race organizers, Xu Zhiyi and the others stood at the starting line once again.

He remains in lane six.

Zhang Peng moved to the eighth track.

The two exchanged a glance.

There was no tense standoff or any harsh words exchanged.

However, Xu Zhiyi was able to understand the other person's eyes.

That's confidence!

They were determined to win!

Clearly, losing to Xu Zhiyi just now didn't affect him too much; on the contrary, it aroused his fighting spirit, making him eager to show his true strength and prove himself!

The atmosphere in the final was noticeably more serious than in the preliminary round.

No one spoke.

Everyone is quietly making preparations.

Especially the sports students like Zhang Peng and Li Rui, they all stood solemnly on the track, adjusting their breathing and stretching their joints, preparing seriously for the upcoming competition.

"On your marks!"

The referee's voice rang out.

Everyone bent down, got into starting positions, and waited intently.

"preparation--"

"Bang!"

This time, Xu Zhiyi did not fall behind.

After getting used to the preliminary rounds, he reacted instantly when the starting gun fired, pushing off the starting blocks and leaping out like a cheetah.

The others were also quite fast.

Ten agile figures charged out like wild horses!

But soon, the gap became apparent.

Zhang Peng's explosive power was stronger than others; in the blink of an eye, he left the people next to him behind.

Before he could even feel happy, he discovered that Xu Zhiyi was already half a step ahead of him!

Zhang Peng's pupils suddenly contracted.

This guy... is even faster than in the preliminary rounds!

He gritted his teeth and tried his best to catch up.

But reality dealt him a heavy blow.

He discovered with despair that the distance between Xu Zhiyi and him was not shrinking, but rather widening little by little!

"Charge!"

"Xu Shen is awesome!"

Beside the track, Wang Kai's shouts had already cracked.

Lin Wei bit her lower lip, her eyes burning.

Jiang Shangge, who was standing alone to the side, also unconsciously widened his eyes.

The on-site commentator held a microphone, spittle flying everywhere.

"Contestant number six, Xu Zhiyi, did not fall behind at the start this time! His explosive power is amazing, and he is faster than Zhang Peng! Zhang Peng is chasing closely! The two are almost neck and neck!"

Wait, Xu Zhiyi is still speeding up!

Zhang Peng couldn't keep up!

He was dumped by Xu Zhiyi!

Only 30 meters left!

Zhang Peng is desperately trying to catch up!

But Xu Zhiyi's speed did not decrease!

The last ten meters!

Five meters!

He crossed the finish line!

The champion has been crowned!

It's Xu Zhiyi from Class 2 of Senior Three!

He continued his underdog run, defeating defending champion Zhang Peng once again and crossing the finish line first with an absolute advantage!

"Awesome!"

The moment they crossed the finish line, enthusiastic cheers and shouts erupted.

"My God! We won again!"

"This time we're in the lead from start to finish!"

"Our school has produced a genius!"

"Look at the timer! How many seconds?!"

The on-site commentator immediately ran towards the timing board.

"Let's look at the results... Oh my god!"

The timer shows 10.72 seconds!

10.72 seconds!

Xu Zhiyi ran a time of 10.72 seconds!

He broke Zhang Peng's record!

10.72 seconds!

This number struck like a heavy blow to the hearts of several students with athletic talents.

They knew very well what this number represented.

This is already close to the level of a national first-class athlete!

That's the goal they strive to achieve through their training!

This is an achievement they've always dreamed of!

Zhang Peng braced himself on his knees, panting heavily.

He stared intently at the timing board beside the track, his face drained of color, his previous confidence vanished, leaving only immense bewilderment and disbelief.

His proudest achievement, the field he had honed his skills for years, was so easily surpassed.

Is this what talent is?

Looking at Xu Zhiyi, who was still not out of breath or red-faced after running the 100 meters, Zhang Peng suddenly remembered something his coach had said before.

The cruelest thing about competitive sports is not repeated failures, but the realization that your efforts may be worthless in the face of true talent.

That's right, it's completely worthless!

……

So this is what it sounds like when the sky collapses.

It wasn't a roar, but a deathly silence.

It's as if the whole world gently knocks a crack into your strongest faith, and then you watch helplessly as it silently and utterly shatters.

……
