No one could have predicted the outcome of such a competition.
Just as no one would think they couldn't outrun a pig.
But the facts were right in front of everyone. During the recent race, the pig maintained a sprinting speed that was enough to outpace all the human athletes present.
What's more, this pig weighed at least 200 jin (about 100 kg).
To run at such a speed with that weight was simply unbelievable.
"Oh no, I can never say you run slower than a pig again."
"Whoever says that again, I'll slap them."
"I never expected a hippo to run this fast. How does it manage to run so quickly when it's always in the water?"
"That's normal. Just imagine, if all the animals around you are carnivores, you'd have to run fast or you'd die."
"Damn, that makes sense. Animals that can't run fast get naturally eliminated."
"Hahaha, I knew this would happen. My family raises big black pigs on the mountain. These pigs have a lot of activity, and they hardly have any fat. Sometimes, even I can't catch up to them on the mountain."
"No wonder black pork costs more in the market."
"This shows that if you stick to aerobic exercise for a long time, even a pig can run fast."
"So, was the little tiger just here for show?"
"I suddenly understand the meaning of this sports event. We actually don't know as much about animals as we think."
"This must be the curator's intention, to let us learn more about these animals through this event."
"Indeed, it's very thoughtful. Even those animals that usually get less attention were given a chance to participate."
.....
With this, the special relay race came to an end. Besides the joy, it also sparked people's reflections.
Whether it was the organizers or the audience, everyone was very satisfied with the result. In fact, the final outcome of the race didn't seem that important anymore.
After the contestants received their medals and mascots as souvenirs, another highly anticipated event was about to begin.
"We've just finished the 4x400 meter relay race, and next, we will hold the 100-meter sprint."
"The contestants are already waiting on the sidelines. Let's welcome them."
As the host's voice echoed through the venue, the athletes' figures flashed one by one across the screen.
When the camera focused on a short-haired man in a red tracksuit with the number one, the entire venue erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Su God!"
"Su God!"
"Su God!"
......
Since the list of contestants was kept secret before the race, no one expected to see the man who once equaled the Asian Games 100-meter sprint record.
He was known as the fastest man in Dragon Country and the only Yellow race person in Asia to run the 100 meters in under 10 seconds.
"The organizing committee must have a lot of clout to invite such a big name."
"Isn't Su Feiren supposed to be preparing for the competition? How did he have time to participate in this event?"
"What competition? He's currently a doctoral student at Capital University of Physical Education and Sports."
"This competition is truly star-studded. First, we had the boxing champion, and now we have the Asian speed king."
"But I have a bad feeling. I think West Rainbow Zoo will send a cheetah this time."
"Probably. If they do send a cheetah, this will be interesting."
"I've always heard that cheetahs are fast, but I've never seen one run."
"Yeah, I've always wanted to see that."
"I think anyone who has seen it probably isn't alive anymore."
"Who says that? Didn't a woman with cough syrup outrun a cheetah?"
"Anyone who saw that ad must be at least twenty years old now."
......
With Su Feiren's appearance, the atmosphere in the venue immediately became electrified.
Part of it was due to Su Feiren's aura, and the other part was due to the curiosity about the upcoming race.
Even though the animal contestants hadn't appeared yet, everyone already had an answer in their minds.
And what happened next indeed didn't surprise anyone.
With a thunderous roar, a nimble figure appeared on the track.
It was none other than Li Bao from West Rainbow Zoo.
Thanks to the two little Pallas's cats, Li Bao was quite popular at West Rainbow Zoo.
Dressed in a black tracksuit with a big number six on the back, he stood on the sixth track.
The contestants on the adjacent tracks were standing far away, clearly intimidated by his roar.
Not only them, but the contestants on the other tracks were also holding their breath.
Running with humans countless times, but running with animals was a first for them, especially with such a fierce predator.
Of course, this was the ordinary contestants' thoughts. Su Feiren, standing on the first track, was burning with fierce determination in his eyes.
Clearly, he was very curious about the fastest land animal.
He wanted to know how much faster the cheetah was compared to him.
And just as the tension in the venue reached its peak, the referee fired the starting pistol.
As the gunshot rang out, the five human athletes dashed forward.
However, to everyone's surprise, Li Bao on the sixth track didn't move at all, as if he had spaced out.
"What's going on? Doesn't he know the rules of the race?"
"I was waiting to see a human race against a cheetah. Why isn't he running?"
"Oh no, looks like we won't get to see a cheetah race against humans."
"I guess after this chance, we'll never see it again."
While everyone was puzzled and disappointed, the five human athletes had already run halfway, with Su Feiren leading the pack, far ahead of the other four contestants.
At this moment, everyone almost believed that Su Feiren would be the final champion.
But at that moment, the figure on the sixth track finally moved.
The audience saw a black shadow flash, and soon Li Bao's figure appeared behind the four human contestants.
Upon noticing the anomaly, the four human contestants quickly turned their heads.
Just that glance almost scared them out of their wits. Driven by fear, the four unleashed an unprecedented speed.
Under the astonished gaze of countless spectators, the four gradually closed the gap with Su Feiren.
Soon, Su Feiren also noticed the anomaly.
Just a glance with his peripheral vision sent an uncontrollable fear surging through him.
Feeling that he had already reached his speed limit, he suddenly felt a new surge of strength from his muscles.
His running speed instantly increased by a visible margin.
This speed was something he could never achieve through any training, clearly breaking through his physiological limits.
