After Zhang Yuan finished dancing, it was Gao Yifan's turn.
Go Gao Yifan!
As soon as Gao Yifan came out, the girls by the sandpit started shouting.
After Gao Yifan got ready, he crouched down and jumped. His body shot out like a cannonball, directly over Wang Yuan's landing spot, then over Zhang Yuan's jump distance, and finally landed gracefully on both feet.
call!
The audience gasped again.
"My God! He jumped farther than Zhang Yuan!!"
"Another record broken!"
"Are all the freshmen this year this weird?"
The referee stepped forward and measured the distance.
2.8 meters!
Another gasp rippled through the crowd, followed by a flurry of discussion.
"Gao Yifan actually jumped 2.8 meters! That distance is simply incredible!"
This is 20 centimeters higher than the best historical score at Tongda University!
I can't believe it!
It's 9 centimeters taller than Zhang Yuan's 2.71 meters!!
Zhang Yuan wasn't surprised.
If a cultivator can't even jump this distance, then he's too weak.
Wang Yuancong was the most frustrated.
I originally thought that jumping 2.62 meters had broken my own record from last year and tied the school's historical record, and that no one could ever beat me!
Who would have thought that these two first-graders this year would be so incredibly talented!
This one jumped farther than the last one!
This result is comparable to that of professional long jump athletes!
In the standing long jump final, each person has three chances, and the best score among the three is taken as the final score.
In the first round, all ten people finished their jumps.
Gao Yifan, at 2.8 meters, is currently in first place.
Zhang Yuan is 2.71 meters tall, second.
Wang Yuan, at 2.62 meters, came in third place.
Compared to these three, the other athletes' results were almost negligible, with the best one only reaching 2.51 meters.
Next, the second round of jumping begins.
The scores of the first 7 students were similar to those in the first round. Wang Yuan didn't know if he was discouraged or what, but he only jumped 2.6 meters the second time, which was even less than the first time.
Upon hearing his results, he walked away dejectedly.
It was Zhang Yuan's turn again.
Zhang Yuan stood at the starting line of the sandpit, took a deep breath to prepare, and then jumped into the sandpit again.
He curled up into a ball and flew out like a cannonball. The whole movement was smooth, natural and beautiful.
Outside the sandpit, Gao Yifan stood behind the first row of people, waiting for Zhang Yuan to jump. He muttered something while making strange hand seals.
Instantly, a gentle breeze formed from his true energy flew out from his palm and rushed into the sand pool!
Just as Zhang Yuan jumped above the sandpit, a powerful wave of true energy swept towards him, stopping his momentum as he flew out.
Because the true energy waves are invisible and colorless, ordinary people cannot see them at all; only Zhang Yuan, who is also a cultivator, can sense them.
Because of the obstruction of the true energy wave, most of the inertial force of Zhang Yuan's forward momentum after jumping out was canceled out, and his body fell prematurely, almost losing his balance.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd!
Everyone could see that Zhang Yuan didn't jump well this time; he was still several tens of centimeters short of the furthest distance left by Gao Yifan!
The referee said after measuring the distance.
2.6 meters!
At the art college, the students watching immediately cheered and applauded.
"Good job, Gao Yifan!"
Gao Yifan from our college is truly amazing!
I don't think Zhang Yuan is anything special!
...
Zhang Yuan stepped out of the sandpit, feeling somewhat angry.
Originally, everyone was competing based on their own abilities, but that kid secretly sabotaged us!
That's going a bit too far.
After Zhang Yuan stepped out of the sandpit, it was Gao Yifan's turn next.
Gao Yifan was already standing on the take-off line, adjusting his breathing and preparing for the jump.
Zhang Yuan stood aside, coldly watching Gao Yifan, thinking to himself, "Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust."
He's not the type to be bullied.
As Gao Yifan jumped up, Zhang Yuan immediately mobilized his inner energy and waved his arm, sending a wave of energy towards Gao Yifan.
Gao Yifan's body flew into the air, but was suddenly pushed back by a strange and powerful force of true energy. Then his body suddenly fell down and crashed into the sand pool.
The entire audience was shocked!
"What!
Did Gao Yifan make a mistake?
How did you end up falling into the sandpit?
The onlookers were buzzing with discussion, but no one could guess the real reason.
In the sandpit, Gao Yifan's clothes and pants were covered with fine sand. He stood up, his eyes seemingly spitting out fury, and stared intently at Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan curled his lips into a smile, showing no fear.
That means you made the first move, so don't blame me.
After the second round, Gao Yifan made a mistake and only jumped 2.55 meters, but his score in the first round was higher than Zhang Yuan's, so he was still ranked first.
Now we move on to the final jump.
Number 1, Zhu Debiao!
...
After the first eight people finished jumping, no one could surpass the scores of Gao Yifan and Zhang Yuan in their first jump. Wang Yuan jumped 2.64 meters this time, which was an exceptional performance, but he still couldn't surpass Gao Yifan and Zhang Yuan.
But they managed to secure third place.
Now, the championship battle has fallen to the last two, Gao Yifan and Zhang Yuan.
Who will win the championship between the two of them?
Will Zhang Yuan be able to surpass Gao Yifan in his final jump?
Everyone was filled with anticipation.
After Wang Yuan finished jumping, Zhang Yuan quietly swallowed a Gale Pill and then slowly walked towards the starting point.
The Gale Pill allows cultivators to temporarily increase their movement speed by drawing upon the wind.
Originally, a single competition wouldn't have been worth Zhang Yuan wasting a Swift Wind Pill on.
However, Zhang Yuan wanted to test the effects of the Gale Pill.
Moreover, this Gale Pill was one of the first batches he had refined, and its quality differed somewhat from what was recorded in the Alchemy Notes; it was not perfectly refined.
The true Swift Wind Pill is said to double a cultivator's speed for a short period of time, making it a very practical elixir.
After Zhang Yuan took the Gale Pill, his body became more sensitive to the wind around him. These fine breezes swirled around him, filling the entire world.
After controlling his strength, Zhang Yuan jumped again.
Sure enough, just as his body flew halfway out, he was interfered with by Gao Yifan's spell. The massive wave of true energy transformed into a tidal wave of resistance, sweeping towards Zhang Yuan.
When Zhang Yuan's body was halfway through its flight, it was as if it had hit a wall. Just as it was about to fall again, Zhang Yuan used the Gale Pill to sense the surrounding wind elements and manipulated them to lift his body up once more.
Although the energy contained in the Gale Pill was not yet pure enough, it was still very powerful. The surrounding wind elements enveloped Zhang Yuan's body, creating a forward thrust for him.
With the help of the Gale Pill, Zhang Yuan broke through the wall of true energy waves created by Gao Yifan and flew straight forward!
Oh no! The Gale Pill is too potent. Zhang Yuan has rushed too far ahead, not only surpassing Gao Yifan's first jump position, but also continuing to fly forward.
Zhang Yuan quickly withdrew the power of the Gale Pill, causing his body to fall.
boom!
Zhang Yuan landed on the sandpit.
call!
The audience erupted in uproar once again!
Zhang Yuan landed at a position higher than Gao Yifan's first jump!
Moreover, it went much further than Gao Yifan's first jump.
Gao Yifan's eyelids twitched!
Damn it, the spell has been broken!
Two student officers assisting the referee carried a measuring tape to the sandpit to measure the distance, then exclaimed in surprise: 3.22 meters!!!
The entire audience was shocked once again!
Before this competition, the longest standing long jump in the entire school was 2.6 meters. Zhang Yuan jumped 3.22 meters, which was 0.62 meters more than the school's highest standing long jump record!
Wang Yuancong was also stunned!
He stared at Zhang Yuan blankly for a long time, thinking to himself, "Are you even human?! The world champion in the standing long jump only jumps 3.47 meters! And you jumped 3.22 meters!"
How are the other students supposed to play?!
Next up, Gao Yifan!
"The referee shouted."
Gao Yifan slowly walked out of the crowd and stood on the starting line.
He glanced at Zhang Yuan sideways, then took a deep breath and controlled his inner energy before jumping.
His body shot out like a cannonball again. If Zhang Yuan hadn't used magic to interfere, he could have easily surpassed Zhang Yuan with this jump, reaching 3.2 to 3.3 meters!
But Zhang Yuan would not do as he wished.
Since Gao Yifan interfered with the match twice by using magic, Zhang Yuan simply returned the favor in kind.
Zhang Yuan rotated his palm, and a faint ray of light appeared in his hand. Then, a surge of powerful true energy flew out, transforming into the phantom of a fierce tiger, and rushed towards Gao Yifan.
Gao Yifan was already on guard. He leaped out and saw the tiger formed from true energy charging towards him. Without making a sound, he swung his palm and struck the tiger phantom formed from true energy.
The two streams of true energy collided, causing the branches and leaves of the trees planted near the sandpit to rustle, and several leaves to fall.
