The 1500 meters had already entered the latter half.
The athletes had successively entered the fourth lap, but the gaps between them widened as their stamina waned.
By the time Pu Sangzhi reached the first bend of the fourth lap, she had already opened up a small gap with the second-place runner.
After three laps, only 300 meters remained. At that point, all the athletes’ stamina would have been nearly depleted. If the gap between the first and second place was too large, it would be difficult to close.
Thus, as long as Pu Sangzhi maintained her distance from the second-place runner and kept up her current pace to the finish line, first place would surely be hers.
When Pu Sangzhi took the first-place position, Dai Shanshan unexpectedly found herself in last place.
As Pu Sangzhi ran past the second bend of the fourth lap, entering the final 200 meters, Dai Shanshan was still on her third lap.
Watching as Pu Sangzhi was about to lap Dai Shanshan, and run a full lap more than her, the girls from Class 9 stood far away, shouting in frustration!
"Dai Shanshan! You’re really underperforming!"
"Do you even have the face to go back to class? Losing so badly, just don’t come back at all!"
"Dai Shanshan, can’t you prevent her from taking first place? Are you trying to kill us with frustration?!"
The girls from Class 9 exploded into chaos, each one screaming and shouting emotionally.
Meanwhile, as Pu Sangzhi was about to enter the final bend, Huo Feng was similarly excited from a distance! Screaming repeatedly!
"Ah! Sangzhi! I’m coming!"
"Sangzhi! You are so freaking amazing!"
Huo Feng stood at the finish line, shouting and jumping, waiting for Pu Sangzhi to arrive.
He was quite far from Pu Sangzhi, who had past the bend and had to sprint 150 meters to reach the finish line.
Huo Feng’s shouts probably weren’t heard by Pu Sangzhi, but she surely understood his eager heart waiting for her arrival.
She breathed heavily, eyes intently fixed on the finish line not far ahead.
There, Huo Feng was waving and jumping around like a child... it made Pu Sangzhi’s heart feel warm and inspired.
Since the bend was a place to accelerate and overtake, Pu Sangzhi clenched her teeth and swung her arms to speed up as she entered the final bend.
After this final bend, there were only 150 meters left to the finish line.
In the 1500 meters, the final 200 meters were for accelerating and overtaking, so at this point, not only did Pu Sangzhi increase her speed, but the second and third runners behind her also quickened their pace.
A final competition silently unfolded, tensing the spectators’ hearts.
Dai Shanshan, who was still on her fourth lap, was completely overtaken by Pu Sangzhi at the last bend, by then, Pu Sangzhi had run a full lap more than her.
One could imagine how far behind Dai Shanshan was in this race...
As Pu Sangzhi ran past Dai Shanshan, right in front of the girls from Class 9, it infuriated the girls to the point of metaphorically spitting blood!
"Dai Shanshan! You’ve really disappointed us!" Cai Yiwen yelled angrily.
"You might as well give up, it’s simply unbearable to watch!" Zhao Jiahui waved in disappointment too.
At that moment, Dai Shanshan, already physically and mentally exhausted from the race, trembled with anger and emotion from her classmates’ provocations!
Dai Shanshan, seeing Pu Sangzhi’s retreating figure not far ahead, felt a flame ignite in her eyes and a rush of resentment burst from her chest.
A desperate mentality surged suddenly!
Thus, Dai Shanshan clenched her teeth and charged forward with renewed vigor!
Soon, Dai Shanshan reached Pu Sangzhi’s side, running neck and neck with her.
But what did that matter? Even if Dai Shanshan caught up, she was still a lap behind...
And gradually, Pu Sangzhi ran ahead of her again, surpassing her by a meter...
