Chapter 349: The Empress’s Overwhelming Aura!
Moreover, He Nanbei was astonishingly fast and was known in the army as the "Prince of Sprints."
Just how fast was his speed?
The world record for the 100 meters was held by Jamaica’s famous sprinter Bolt, at 9.58 seconds.
He Nanbei’s best record was 10.35 seconds.
Less than a minute behind the world’s best, that was an astonishing speed indeed!
The spirits of the crowd were lifted from their previous dejection, and they became full of fighting spirit.
They took turns coming up to He Nanbei to pump him up.
He Chuang patted his shoulder, "Go for it, you have to make us at the Northern Military Camp proud!"
If the entire military camp got outperformed by a woman, that story getting out would be laughable!
"Give it your all, show her what you’re made of!"
"Use your real strength, make her feel ashamed!"
"We’re counting on you, beat her in seconds..."
He Nanbei clenched his fist, full of pride and ambition, "Don’t worry, brothers, I definitely won’t let you down today!"
After saying this with determination, he nodded firmly. His speed was so fast that he could compete in the Olympics without any issue, let alone against a woman?
He warmed up his long legs, then did a few on-the-spot hops to loosen up his muscles, ready to go all out!
Meanwhile, Xia Weibao was being pampered by Zhuang Xuejun, Yin Guo, and Qiao Liao, who were massaging her shoulders, thumping her legs, and bringing her water.
"Go Baby, don’t let our show team down!"
"Show them a thing or two, let them see they shouldn’t underestimate a woman!"
Being attended to like a beauty, Her Majesty the Empress was very content.
"Rest assured, beauties. Remember to applaud for me later," she said.
After speaking, she stood up and walked to the starting line.
Standing there like a pillar.
While He Nanbei was already in the starting position for the sprint.
Xia Weibao turned her head, puzzled. What was this stance?
Just run if you’re going to run; why bend over?
And with both hands on the ground, wasn’t he afraid of falling?
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, He Nanbei snorted coldly, feeling even more triumphant inside.
She didn’t even know the starting position; she obviously hadn’t trained in running.
Daring to race against him with such a level, how delusional!
In just a moment, he would show her what real speed was!
The thought of Xia Weibao looking at him with newfound respect once he won filled He Nanbei with secret joy.
Men, after all, had their vanities.
Xia Weibao was so pretty; having her admiration would be such a proud achievement.
Caught up in these thoughts, his fighting spirit surged even stronger, determined not only to win but to do so with style!
To utterly crush the competition!
The onlookers behind, seeing Xia Weibao motionless, all sighed in relief.
If she knew nothing, they could rest easy.
Just then, the referee used all his strength to blow the whistle.
Then, like a cheetah, He Nanbei bolted out.
Xia Weibao, a bit slow to respond, was delayed by a second before she zipped out with a whoosh.
Have you ever seen what they call the speed of an arrow leaving the bowstring, the wind under your feet, or the Phantom Step?
Have you not?
Then come and see our Empress! With a whoosh, truly with a whoosh, she shot off like a rocket to the finish line.
Chins hit the floor...
After reaching the finish line, Her Majesty the Empress, seeing that no one was applauding for her, was somewhat displeased.
Turning around, she saw that everyone was petrified.
He Nanbei was so shocked he had even forgotten to keep running, standing in the middle of the track, mouth gaping wide enough to fit a duck egg!
After a moment, everyone went wild, and pandemonium ensued!
