As Li Bao began to accelerate on the track, the atmosphere on the field instantly changed.
The four contestants who had been closely following Su Feiren immediately started running at the fastest speed they could muster.
Amateurs by nature, their speeds now rivaled that of professional athletes.
Especially as Li Bao's figure drew closer and closer to them.
Although they knew full well that Li Bao wouldn't harm them, the fear in their hearts was something they simply couldn't control.
As they ran, they even managed to shout out.
"Oh, crap!"
"Mommy!"
"Ah..."
Not just them, even Su Feiren was no exception. The deep-seated fear of natural predators lurking in the human soul exploded at that moment.
All he could think of was putting as much distance as possible between himself and the creature behind him.
This scene, when seen by the audience, immediately brought laughter.
"I'm dying of laughter, why are they so scared?"
"Right, the animals at West Rainbow Zoo are famous for being friendly."
"I know that, but having such a fierce beast behind you, you'd probably run faster than them."
"This fear is encoded in our human genes, passed down from our ancestors."
"Representing the times our ancestors were hunted by these large felines."
"I bet if it were a tiger, they'd run even faster."
"Look, Su Feiren seems to have sped up."
...
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the speeds of the five human athletes, including Su Feiren, increased rapidly.
Just as they were about to cross the finish line, a black shadow suddenly darted in front of them, surpassing them with a speed beyond their imagination.
At the same time, the timer next to them displayed its time.
8.43.
A time that human athletes can never reach.
Right after Li Bao crossed the finish line, Su Feiren followed closely behind.
His time was fixed at 8.98.
As for the other four, although they were slower, even the slowest one had a time of 9.75.
As all the contestants' results came out, both the on-site and live-streamed audiences were immediately in an uproar.
Because these results were simply too incredible. Although Li Bao's official time was 8.43, everyone knew that his real time should be reduced by about 3 seconds.
That is, it actually took him a little over 5 seconds to run the hundred meters.
This is almost twice as fast as the human limit.
Of course, for this result, everyone wasn't too surprised. After all, whether it's a cheetah or a leopard, they are all known for their speed. Their bodies are naturally built for running.
What really surprised everyone was the five human athletes, especially Su Feiren, who ran an incredible 8.98.
You know, the current world record holder's hundred-meter time is only 9.58.
This record has not been broken for nearly ten years and is regarded as the human limit.
Yet, in just one day, three people broke this human limit.
Su Feiren even ran an astonishing 8.98. Not just for the next ten years, but for the next hundred years, no one is likely to break this record.
This means that Su Feiren, in such a non-official competition, broke the world record that had stood for over ten years.
"Oh my, is the timer working properly? One competition produced three world record breakers and five sub-10-second hundred-meter sprinters?"
"Wow, I actually witnessed the birth of a world record."
"Finally saw the legendary speed of a leopard. Starting half a second later and still leading human athletes by so much."
"Learned something new, learned something new. Leopards are really fast."
"8.98, huh, the title of the world's fastest man might have to be handed over."
"That's unlikely. After all, this wasn't a normal competition, so the results probably won't be counted."
"Whether it's counted or not, from today on, Su Feiren has refreshed the human limit speed. No objections, right?"
"I admire the guys behind. They should be amateur runners, right? To run such a result this time."
"If I were them, I could brag about this for a lifetime."
"Not just a lifetime, I'd engrave the race video as a QR code on my tombstone. Others can just scan it to see."
"Damn, I should have signed up for this event too. Not only could I run with Su Feiren and a leopard, but I could also break a world record."
"What a miss, what a miss. I think if I were chased by a leopard, I could probably break the record too."
"Looks like Su Feiren might have some psychological setbacks in the future."
"Su Feiren: I've tried my best to run, but I just can't find that feeling anymore."
"Maybe he found a new training idea."
"How? Running in the cages at West Rainbow Zoo? With a piece of meat tied behind?"
"Win and live, lose and die?"
"Here's a suggestion: run with the lion king, the effect might be even better."
...
While the audience marveled, Su Feiren, who had just broken the record, was also looking at the timer next to him in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe this result was his.
"Am I dreaming? I actually ran under 9 seconds!"
"Is this really the speed I can run?"
At this moment, Su Feiren was somewhat questioning his life. You know, even if he wanted to improve by 0.01 seconds, it was harder than ascending to the heavens.
Not just him, the other four human athletes, exhausted like dead dogs, were also laughing at the timer next to them while lying on the ground.
Even if they knew this wasn't their real result, so what? As long as it was their result, that's all that mattered. They didn't care how they ran it.
If their phones were with them, they'd probably call their relatives and friends immediately, spreading the news to all their chat groups.
And just as the few of them were gloating, Li Bao, who had just finished the race, walked past them leisurely.
That disdainful little look seemed to say, I gave you a chance and you still couldn't make it.
With the end of the competition, the news and video of Su Feiren breaking the world hundred-meter record spread like wildfire.
Even the real hundred-meter record holder, upon hearing the news, couldn't help but glance at the Doberman next door.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.

Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.
