In the end, it didn’t exactly go without a hitch, but He Hehe barely outpaced the others on her track, crossing the finish line first.
The overall ranking for the relay obstacle race isn’t known yet, but at least within their heat, Li Pu and his group had the best performance.
"39 seconds for the whole run, did this break your personal record?"
Mr. Chen’s attention was still focused on Li Pu.
"By the way, what was your ti two years ago?"
She asked Jiang Guiju.
"Uh, ?"
Jiang Guiju pondered for a while: "If I rember correctly, it was a little over 34 seconds."
seconds, more than 4 seconds faster than Li Pu.
But she knew that if Li Pu wasn’t hampered by his arm, he would surely be even faster now.
Moreover, she’s seen his true [Sprint] speed, which is almost double what it is currently.
Not to ntion, overcoming obstacles and crashing through them are completely different concepts.
Speaking for herself back in first grade or even now, she feels she’s no match for Li Pu.
"Actually, he has one more standout quality that I’m not sure if you noticed."
Clearly, Mr. Chen also recognized Li Pu’s performance.
"Oh? Please enlighten , teacher."
Jiang Guiju raised an eyebrow slightly.
"His [Sprint] duration."
Mr. Chen’s remark instantly made it clear, and Jiang Guiju understood on the spot.
Li Pu’s [Sprint] duration practically covered the entire racecourse.
That ans it lasted nearly 39 seconds.
The duration of [Sprint] tests the endurance of a Summoner’s Spiritual Power.
To put it another way, the stronger the Spiritual Power, the longer [Sprint] can last.
Take Wu Guinan, who’s speed is already top-notch among the students, for instance, he only lasted a bit over 20 seconds before running out of steam.
This comparison highlights how excellent Li Pu’s performance was.
"It seems Mr. Li Fan’s teaching thods are certainly worth learning from."
"Soday, I’ll have to learn from him properly."
With this in mind, Mr. Chen rested her chin on her hand.
"Ahaha..."
To this, Jiang Guiju could only respond with an awkward laugh.
She thought to herself, "Better not try, it’s expensive."
And it also requires a dedicated and beautiful assistant, especially beautiful.
This month’s test didn’t have too many participants, so the whole obstacle relay race was divided into only four heats.
After compiling the results from the four heats, Li Pu and his group didn’t take first place, only sharing third place.
This unexpected result even made He Hehe, who didn’t an to latch onto the big leg, feel embarrassed.
Especially since she thought Wu Guinan was the weakest, but he proved her wrong, making her even more ashad.
This result, however, is still acceptable to both Li Pu and Wu Guinan.
After all, there are still the individual long jump event and the bilateral team rugby event following this.
As long as they achieve good enough rankings in the individual event and win the team event, their goals for this monthly exam will be easily attained.
The long jump event required no additional preparation, so it began promptly.
Each competitor entered the field in the order drawn and had three jump attempts.
Li Pu believes he has this event in the bag because, after all, the assisted long jump is a single-leg takeoff event.
He feels that even without activating [Sprint], as long as he removes the weighted belt, he can claim the top spot.
Not wanting to stand out too much, he plans to decide how far to jump based on others’ performances.
Unfortunately, the drawing didn’t go according to his wishes.
Li Pu and Wu Guinan both drew slots in the earlier order.
One in the top ten and the other in the teens.
But fortunately, He Hehe lent a helping hand at this mont.
Soone in her dormitory drew a slot near the end, in the forties, and upon learning of Li Pu’s needs, she proactively arranged to swap slots for him.
In the end, Li Pu smoothly secured the first place he desired.
With a result exceeding the second-place by rely half a ter... he just cleared the entire sandpit.
There was no helping it; it seems today’s sandpit might have been set a bit short, as even Wu Guinan, who took fifth place, was only 65cm shy of reaching the end.
Given this outco, following the earlier obstacle race, everyone could only say they were numb.
After all, this was Li Pu.
Having concluded the long jump event, the monthly exam only had rugby remaining.
Currently, Li Pu is temporarily ranked first overall, but nothing is set in stone yet.
Because in the rugby event, the entire field is divided into red and blue teams, and there are no rankings, only win or loss.
Based on the point difference after the match, the winning team scores points, while the losing team does not.
The gap between him and the second and third places isn’t substantial, so if the rugby event doesn’t go well, there’s still a good chance he could be overtaken.
In this third round, they won’t decide teams through drawing lots.
Instead, students are divided into two teams based on odd and even positions.
Li Pu, being the first rank, is tead up with the third, fifth, seventh ranks, and so on.
This ans that to solidify his hold on the first place for this monthly exam, he must help his team win the rugby event.
Unluckily, Wu Guinan’s combined rank from the first two events is even, putting him on the opposing team.
To this, Li Pu does not intend to go easy on him.
After all, this guy currently ranks fourth overall, and even if his team scores a great victory, the highest he could achieve is still one rank under soone else, clinching him a maximum of second place.
Losing to soone from the neighboring class ans facing Mr. Li Fan’s punishnt.
Wu Guinan is already set to be punished for sure, so Li Pu has to be cautious not to be dragged down with him.
After the teams were settled, both sides donned their respective red and blue jerseys and entered the field.
Li Pu’s odd-numbered team played as Blue, and Wu Guinan’s even-numbered team as Red.
[As Summoners, the greatest taboo is living an overly comfortable life.]
[When out in the wild or facing beasts, bumps and bruises are unavoidable.]
[So this match, there will be no protective gear provided.]
It’s well-known that rugby is a physically demanding contact sport.
The lack of protective gear imdiately turned the expressions of many students, who already anticipated the hurt.
[But don’t worry about injuries, I’ve prepared for this.]
Seeming to have anticipated so students’ concerns, Mr. Chen spoke as she summoned another creature.
[Hoo hoo bo~]
At that mont, a fluffy white cloud drifted above the field.
The cloud had a pair of clear, water-like big eyes, making Li Pu almost mistake it for a type of sli variant.
"Wow, this is Mr. Chen’s signature summon, the C-class White Cloud Elental!"
"I had only heard about it before; today is my first ti seeing it!"
Imdiately, soone announced the answer.
[Hoo hoo bo~]
As if in response to this comnt, the White Cloud Elental humd and expanded.
In no ti, it nearly covered the entire field overhead.
A significant feature of the White Cloud Elental is its ability to produce healing rain.
Given the current skill level of the students, this is still quite effective.
