Stunningly beautiful young lady

As they moved forward, they heard the conversations and discussions of others, but they ignored them and continued to move forward at a steady pace, finding their own rhythm.

"Not bad, these two have distributed their energy very well."

Yu Sheng rarely gives praise, but this time he praised two people, which made Hu Yanhong and He Qingyun take a second look at them.

"To gain Elder Wen's favor, this junior sister must have a really good talent for alchemy."

Despite Hu Yanhong's seemingly carefree and easygoing nature, and her apparent strength, she is actually an alchemist.

Although she is only a first-grade alchemist, it is already quite remarkable for someone her age to be both skilled and an alchemist.

"I heard that Elder Wen recently took on a new female disciple, it must be this Junior Sister Su."

Although He Qingyun is a metal-type cultivator, he has a good relationship with Xiang Huahua of the Alchemy Pavilion, which is what he let slip to him.

"I heard that Junior Sister Su is already a second-grade alchemist. I'll go and ask her for some advice to improve my alchemy skills."

Hu Yanhong watched Su Qing's figure with an expression of admiration for an outstanding individual. If the test hadn't been ongoing, she would have already gone.

When she first came here, her biggest wish was to learn alchemy. Although she wasn't particularly talented, she had a strong desire to learn alchemy.

However, Elder Wen refused to accept her at the time, so she went to the Earth Department and became Elder Huang Yuxiao's personal disciple.

Fortunately, her master treated her well and knew that she was interested in alchemy, so he collected many books on alchemy and medicine.

During her four years at the academy, she spent her spare time refining pills, and finally became a first-grade alchemist.

"You guys are running away, but you're running so fast, how are you going to handle this later!"

At first, Gu Tiangu didn't care. He just mocked the two who were gradually overtaking him and then ran on his own. He didn't care about their movements after that.

He firmly believed that none of these people were as good as him, after all, he had been doing physical training since he was a child.

Aside from the period when he was injured during military training and thus unable to showcase his exceptional physical talent, he was always very strong.

Everyone's lap count is constantly increasing, but because there are so many laps, everyone is only focused on their own and can no longer remember the laps of others.

"The eighty-eighth lap."

As Gu Tiangu passed the checkpoint again, the announcement rang out once more. He proudly raised his head and continued striding forward.

"It has to be said that although Gu Tiangu is very proud, he really has the right to be proud."

Due to physical limitations, the seven or eight disciples who had run alongside him and caught up with him still expressed a reluctant but positive assessment of the arrogant fellow after hearing the announcement.

"The forty-eighth lap."

Because when they passed that lap mark, there were 48 sounds, which meant they had 40 more laps than them!

Gu Tiangu was so proud because he heard Qi You's timing announcement during the run that he had only reached the seventy-fourth lap.

Just twenty-five minutes later, Qi You finished another lap, and his lap timer went off.

"The ninety-fifth lap, just one more lap!"

Hearing this announcement, those who had only run fifty laps were deeply shocked, and one or two of them looked at him as if he were a monster.

At that moment, Gu Tiangu, who was behind Qi You, thought he had misheard. Ninety-five laps!

"How is that possible? The lap count is wrong. He only lapped seventy-four times just now!"

"There's something wrong with this counting loop!!"

Seeing Qi You run past him again, he shouted at the three senior brothers and sisters who were recording and supervising.

"There was indeed a problem with the counting loops."

Hu Yanhong saw that her disciple had a question and was about to answer it, but she was interrupted before she could speak.

“I knew it. How could Qi You possibly outrun me? I was the first place winner in this test.”

After hearing his senior's words, Gu Tiangu's restless heart calmed down, and he continued running forward.

"So there was a problem with the counting. I didn't expect Qi You to be so good during the last military training, but today he's fallen so far behind Gu Tiangu."

The disciples were already surprised by the result of 88 laps, and now they were further shocked by the result of 95 laps, which was really hard for them to accept.

"The lap count just now underestimated Su Qing and Qi You's lap count. We've already readjusted it. Qi You is now on his last lap, and Su Qing has already run eighty-nine laps."

Hu Yanhong's voice was very loud. She finished speaking the words that had just been interrupted, and everyone gasped when she said them!

"What? It's the last lap!"

"Su Qing also ran eighty-nine laps, which is one lap faster than Gu Tiangu!"

Everyone was already exhausted from running, and upon hearing this news, they were not only physically tired, but also mentally exhausted.

It's understandable that Qi You is fast; he's a big man with some physical strength. But Su Qing looks like a weak woman, so how come she runs so fast too!

"Impossible, impossible, there must be a mistake in the counting of laps. They clearly stopped just now."

Although Gu Tiangu said it was impossible, he still tried his best to catch up with Su Qing, and the anxiety on his face was clearly visible.

"The ninety-fifth lap is complete!"

As Qi You completed the last lap, Gu Tiangu felt as if his mind was about to explode. His head was buzzing, and he couldn't think of anything anymore.

"Impossible, impossible, I'm the one who came in first this time."

He, who was always proud, couldn't stand the blow of not getting first place. He kept muttering to himself, and his breathing became disordered, completely disrupting his rhythm.

He completed the next ten laps in chaos, finishing in third place, but he was no longer satisfied.

After everyone had completed the 10,000-meter run, 55 minutes had passed.

"After everyone has rested for half an hour, we will proceed to the next test."

"The test results are calculated based on three factors, so those who did poorly in the first factor should not be discouraged, and those who did well should not be arrogant."

Upon hearing this news, Gu Tiangu secretly resolved that he could not afford to make any more mistakes in the next two projects and had to do his best!

But things don't always go as planned. Ideas are just ideas; without the necessary strength, having ideas alone is completely useless.

Sure enough, he couldn't beat Qi You in any of the later categories, and almost fell behind Su Qing in two of them.

"how so......"

Gu Tiangu was unwilling to accept this result and muttered to himself.

"One must maintain a calm mindset during cultivation. Besides, this is just a test and doesn't mean anything. There will be many difficulties encountered during cultivation, but one must face them with a calm mind."

Chu Liuxiang had returned from the meeting and listened to the reports from several recorders about the day's events. He was here to offer his advice.

"I'm determined to win next time!"

Gu Tiangu's demeanor clearly indicated that he hadn't listened to anything, and Chu Liuxiang shook his head and left.
