"Wow, I'm scared to death. The pressure from the flat-headed guy is still as overwhelming as ever."
Fang Jun patted his chest, looking like he had survived a disaster.
"What are you afraid of? We haven't done anything wrong," An Yuexin retorted.
"That's true, but the suppressing power of the teaching director over students can be said to reach 200%, even stronger than that of the class teacher."
When they arrived at the playground, the registration had already started.
After Lin Mo signed in, he received a number plate, fastened it with a safety pin, and began to prepare.
Jiang Yunlu didn't know when she had run over. Lin Mo also saw Xie Yuling and Chu Miaomiao standing by the track.
But these two rather introverted girls didn't come over.
Jiang Yunlu glanced in that direction and then walked over with a can of Red Horse drink.
"Drink this before you run?"
Lin Mo took it and pulled the tab, then started gulping it down.
Jiang Yunlu took the empty can from his hand.
"Leave it to me. Next, come on!"
She looked like a perfect helper.
Lin Mo nodded. After a whistle, he walked onto the track.
Due to the special nature of the 5000 - meter race, it was basically a one - time event.
Each class would only have one person signing up.
So there were twenty people crowded on the entire track.
However, Lin Mo stood in the middle, and no one would push him aside because they all knew Lin Mo's reputation.
More people were vying for the inner - lane positions.
And Lin Mo always stayed in the middle.
"On your marks! Get set! Bang!"
Some people shot out like arrows, while others maintained their own pace.
Looking at the boy who took the lead in the first half - lap, many people couldn't help laughing.
Running at an accelerated pace was much faster, but the physical strength would also be consumed rapidly.
In a 5000 - meter race like this, most people would start to exert their strength at the end.
Most people were well - prepared.
Lin Mo was thinking about the 5000 - meter record.
He had checked it before. Eighteen minutes was considered a pass, seventeen to sixteen minutes was for third - level athletes.
Sixteen to fourteen minutes was for second - level athletes.
So Lin Mo only needed to keep his time within the range of a second - level athlete.
He could even take a little longer.
After all, his opponents were all freshmen in senior high school.
There were no track and field athletes participating in the 5000 - meter race.
When the starting gun fired, a voice came from the podium.
"Lin Mo on the field is heroic and going all out, fighting for Class 8. Go, go, go!"
Lin Mo even had the leisure to listen to this broadcast. It was obvious that the cheering messages now were quite decent, unlike those in the school sports meets in the later years, which were getting more and more absurd.
There were things like "You're on top, I'm at the bottom, I'm your eternal XX."
And "Your salt, my vinegar, people in Chaoshan, watch out for your rice and pot, the bowl is broken."
Lin Mo's acceleration was very steady. He easily overtook the second - place runner and became... the second.
At this time, the first - place runner was still leading, but the distance was visibly shortening.
After two laps, the two were running side by side.
When the leading boy saw Lin Mo appear from the outer lane, he seemed to suddenly lose his energy and started gasping for air.
Actually, this was because he hadn't conserved his physical strength.
So his speed gradually slowed down, and he was overtaken by one person after another.
He dropped from the first place to the fifth or sixth.
"Come on, Lin Mo! Come on, Lin Mo!"
When Lin Mo ran past Xie Yuling and Chu Miaomiao again.
These two girls were no longer reserved. Instead, they became much more enthusiastic.
It was unknown whether they were influenced by the mood or the atmosphere.
However, Lin Mo saw Jiang Yunlu on the other side.
Maybe he was also spurred on by Jiang Yunlu.
Lin Mo ran very fast, but he also used his spiritual sense to keep an eye on the stopwatch in the hands of the scoring teacher.
At this speed, he could control the time within fifteen minutes.
Lin Mo wasn't extremely fast, but he had already pulled a distance of fifty meters from the second - tier runners.
This might not seem very far, but in the eyes of the spectators on the roadside, it was actually quite a long way.
Everyone knew that the last 200 meters was the time to accelerate.
The track of Guangba Middle School was 400 meters long, so for the 5000 - meter race, one had to run twelve and a half laps.
After twelve laps, everyone started to accelerate.
Even Lin Mo did the same. The finish line had been set up.
Everyone watched as Lin Mo, who was in the lead, was still accelerating.
The distance between him and the others behind was getting farther and farther.
Just then, a girl suddenly rushed out from somewhere. She ran towards Lin Mo and stood in front of him, shouting, "Come on, Lin Mo!"
"Damn it! Who is this? What a stupid person!"
Lin Mo used his "Seven - Star Steps" and easily avoided the girl, then continued running towards the finish line.
The girl was also stunned. She didn't expect Lin Mo to avoid her so easily.
"Damn it, get out of the way!"
Lin Mo managed to avoid her, but the second - place runner behind didn't. He crashed into her.
The girl flew out with a thud.
And the second - place runner also fell to the ground.
The others all made way, and the second - place runner instantly became the last.
By the time he got up, Lin Mo had already reached the finish line.
"15 minutes and 3 seconds!" The teacher looking at the electronic timing device nodded seriously.
"This is a really good result."
After reaching the finish line, Lin Mo gradually slowed down and walked forward slowly.
Jiang Daming, who was also nearby, walked over.
"Yes, yes, keep walking to catch your breath."
Lin Mo nodded, pretending to be very tired and gasping for air, then looked back.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know," Jiang Daming shook his head.
Every year at the school sports meet, there would be people crossing the track and causing accidents.
But this time, it seemed a bit strange.
At this time, the students from Class 8 rushed over. Fang Jun had a gloomy face.
"The second - place runner is from Class 17, and that female student is also from Class 17."
It was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye what was going on.
They just didn't expect that the girl from Class 17 had actually ruined the chances of her own classmate who was in second place.
Fang Jun took a deep breath. "I'll go and find out more information."
On the contrary, An Yuexin couldn't help but exclaim, "Boss Lin, that turn of yours just now was so cool. Spinning and jumping, I close my eyes."
"I'm not a showgirl. Shut up," Lin Mo almost wanted to grab An Yuexin's mouth and silence him manually.
The matter of the 5000 - meter race didn't end there. The incident of the second - place runner and the girl quickly spread.
It was probably Fang Jun's doing. With his big - mouth characteristic, he quickly spread the news.
Actually, Lin Mo could also guess that by obstructing him, the second - place runner would still have a chance, but they didn't expect it to backfire.
During this process, Lin Mo didn't use any supernatural powers.
When Lin Mo returned to the class base and sat down, Fang Jun, who had been spreading the news, also came back. He sat down angrily, opened a can of cold soda, and started gulping it down.
"That Huang XL really didn't send the Red Horse drink. I'll go to the school forum to expose him tonight. How can he be so shameless?"
