When “God” Decides To Start Over

Chapter 24 Peerless Rhythm

Jin Zhenhuan finally had absolute confidence. In his opinion, the 400-meter hurdle demanded more from one’s physique than technique.

With Li Xiu’s physique, he would definitely lose to those administrators, much less match him. It was even possible that he wouldn’t be able to make a time of 38 seconds.

“You look very confident.” Li Xiu looked at Jin Zhenhuan and said calmly.

This calmness made Jin Zhenhuan very unhappy. He curled his lips and said, “With absolute strength, one will naturally be confident. Are you ready to face death?”

“Not yet. At the very least, I won’t lose the first round,” Li Xiu said calmly.

Jin Zhenhuan said disdainfully, “What gives you your confidence? With your physique, can you even make 38 seconds? Even if you can, you won’t be faster than those administrators. Death is the only outcome. It’s too late for you to apologize now; it’s beyond me now.”

Li Xiu didn’t say a word and only quietly warmed up as he waited for the trial to begin.

The countdown to the trial quickly ended. As the invisible barrier outside the starting line disappeared, everyone ran forward with all their might.

Li Xiu dashed as well. His gaze was firm as he swung his arms greatly, every step filled with strength and rhythm.

After a few trials, Li Xiu’s physique—which was originally very good-had improved to a certain extent. His speed was clearly faster than that of ordinary humans.

However, he was clearly a little slower compared to the administrators. Before he reached the first hurdle, a gap had already widened. Basically, all the administrators ran ahead of Li Xiu, and Jin Zhenhuan was first.

The people behind him chased desperately, but they couldn’t catch up. In their anxiety, they accidentally touched the hurdle, and their bodies immediately exploded.

Screams and explosions constantly sounded. Bandit didn’t want to watch anymore. She didn’t want to see Li Xiu fail and die with her own eyes, so she chose to use Forfeit and quit the competition midway.

“Li Xiu, why don’t you have a taste of only being able to see backs?” Jin Zhenhuan ran at the forefront and still had the energy to look back at Li Xiu.

Jin Zhenhuan was a little surprised. Li Xiuwho had been left in the dust by the administrators previously—had already caught up to the administrators after two or three hurdles.

How is this happening? Jin Zhenhuan was stunned. This was completely beyond his expectations.

From his physique, it was definitely impossible for Li Xiu to catch up to those administrators, but he managed to do so.

After another hurdle, Li Xiu actually surpassed the administrator at the back ranked 12th.

The administrator was already panicking, and now that Li Xiu had overtaken him, he panicked even more. He accidentally touched the hurdle, and his expression immediately changed. Before he could cry out, his body exploded, and blood splattered all over Li Xiu.

Li Xiu wasn’t affected at all and kept pace.

Everyone could run, but not many people really knew how to run.

Speed was undoubtedly the foundation of athletics, but technique couldn’t be ignored, especially for hurdles.

The number of steps he could run between the railings, the distance between each step, where he jumped, where he crossed the hurdles, and where he landed-even the rhythm and magnitude of his breathing and swinging of his arms were within Li Xiu’s calculations.

However, those who only relied on their physique and didn’t know how to use technique wasted a lot of time. When they approached the hurdle, they either jumped too far or too near, requiring them to slow down and adjust their rhythm. Or after they ran over the hurdle, they landed in the wrong spot and needed to adjust their body’s posture.

Although they seemed fast, it wasn’t very fluid on closer inspection. As for Li Xiu’s movements, they appeared extremely smooth. Watching him run gave one an indescribable sense of enjoyment.

With his peerless rhythm and robot-like stability, Li Xiu slowly surpassed another administrator and was already ranked 11th.

10… 9… 8… Li Xiu overtook the administrators who had better physiques and ran faster than him time and time again, causing them to lose their minds. Another administrator accidentally touched a hurdle, and blood splattered everywhere after the explosion.

“Damn it!” Jin Zhenhuan was furious. Although Li Xiu’s rhythm was peerless, it was still impossible for him to catch up to Jin Zhenhuan. At most, he would only be in sixth or seventh place.

However, such a ranking was enough to keep Li Xiu alive. This was an insult to Jin Zhenhuan.

However, there was nothing he could do. The finish line was right in front of him. After crossing the last hurdle, Li Xiu had already reached sixth place.

But when he crossed the last hurdle, he was overtaken by three administrators and finally came in eighth. His pure speed was still inferior to those administrators.

Li Xiu panted heavily, feeling a burning string in his chest. He had already used all his strength and turned to look at the large screen. He saw that his timing was 37.58 seconds, entering 38 seconds by a hair’s breadth. He couldn’t help but think to himself, The strengthening of my body during this period is quite effective. My previous results were far worse than this.

After 38 seconds, everyone who failed to clear the finish line died an unnatural death.

“You were lucky to survive, but you won’t be so lucky in the next round.” Jin Zhenhuan walked over and looked at the panting Li Xiu with a cold expression.

“There’s no next round.” Li Xiu knew his physique. If he participated in the next round, he would basically die. He didn’t do anything he wasn’t confident in.

“If you dare to quit, I’ll still kill you after we get out,” Jin Zhenhuan said fiercely.

“You don’t stand a chance.” Li Xiu ignored Jin Zhenhuan, took off his bracelet, and left the trial grounds.

“I’ll kill you!” Jin Zhenhuan’s angry roar echoed in the trial grounds.

How could Li Xiu be afraid of Jin Zhenhuan’s threat? He had long known that even if Jin Zhenhuan didn’t kill him, Old Gu wouldn’t let him participate in the next round of the trial with Bandit.

The next round of the trial was of great importance. Other than Bandit, everyone else would definitely be on their side. It was impossible for them to tolerate Li Xiu.

At the blue stone gate, Old Gu and the others were a little surprised to see Li Xiu return.

Bandit—who hadn’t been escorted back to her room-had an incredulous expression when she saw Li Xiu. She didn’t know how Li Xiu survived; it was impossible.

Two guard-like administrators came to take the demon cores Li Xiu had brought back, but the moment they searched him, Li Xiu instantly snatched a gun and restrained one.

Li Xiu leaned against the stone door and locked the administrator’s neck with one arm, using him as a shield. He held the submachine gun in his other hand and pressed the muzzle against the administrator’s head.

The other administrators immediately aimed their guns at Li Xiu, and the two Demon Suiters looked over. “Li Xiu, what are you doing?” Old Old Gu stared at Li Xiu and said coldly.

“Naturally, I want to live,” Li Xiu said calmly.
