948: Shocking Speed

Shocking Speed

Although this was the last group match of the 100-meter sprint, it still attracted the attention of many students because of Connor's participation.2

After all, Connor could be considered a celebrity in the school at this time; with just his own strength, he had managed to invite so many big sponsors. This was enough to prove how terrifying Connor's connections were!

Therefore, everyone in the school was paying attention to Connor, not just Dominic, Spencer, Tamia, Lindsy, and the others.

They wanted to see if Connor was bluffing when he boasted that he would be able to take part in four competitions alone and get first place in all of them!

However, no one expected Connor to be startled for a moment when he started running, falling behind everyone by nearly a second.

This also caused everyone's expectations of Connor to plummet. They felt that his words back then were just his attempts at bragging.

However, as a professional athlete, Lindsy could still see things that others couldn't. Although Connor was nearly a second behind when he started, his running speed was not slow at all. He was following closely behind everyone!

In the blink of an eye, the other contestants had already covered the 50-meter distance!

Although Connor was still in last place, Lindsy could see that the distance between Connor and the first place had not changed at all and was maintained at a constant distance.

This also meant that Connor's speed was probably the same as the one in first place. If Connor had not fallen behind when he started, he would definitely not be in last place

On the track, Connor was staring at the person running in front, choosing to follow at the same speed.

The reason he was doing this was actually very simple: he knew in his heart that his current body was no longer the body of a normal person. If Connor ran with all his might, his speed could even break the world record.

But if Connor really broke the world record, then this matter would definitely create a huge stir and affect his life.

Connor had invited so many sponsors over today that he could no longer stay in the class. If he broke another world record, Connor felt terrified just thinking about the consequences.

That was why Connor chose to race at the same speed as the first place in the group. He would choose to speed up at the last critical moment. In this way, Connor's speed should be similar to the first place in the group.

As expected, when everyone thought that Connor was definitely the last one, he suddenly chose to speed up.

Connor's speed was still very shocking, and he had already surpassed the eight players in front of him.

All of this was done in the blink of an eye. No one had expected Connor's speed to be so shocking!

In less than two seconds, he had gone straight from last place to second place!

After eight consecutive contestants, Connor didn't choose to overtake the first place. Instead, he gradually slowed down. In the end, Connor successfully advanced to the next round of the finals and got second place.

In an instant, the people who were originally watching the match all quieted down. They stared at Connor with doubt in their hearts. Even the students in Connor's class were abnormally puzzled by this scene.

Dominic was stunned for a moment, then turned to Spencer and stuttered, "Connor... Connor actually advanced?"

"He did, but how did Connor do it? I remember that he was in last place. Why did he suddenly come in second place?" Spencer quickly said.

"That's right. I also feel that it's strange. Connor was in last place for quite a while. How did he suddenly surpass those people…"

Tamia also sighed.

Meanwhile, Lindsy sat quietly on the spot with an extremely surprised expression on her face. This was because Lindsy had already seen what was going on.

Lindsy could feel that Connor did not seem to have used his true strength just now. Connor's true strength should be the speed when he surpassed the others. If Connor had been running at that speed the entire time, then his results would definitely be very terrifying!

The feeling that Lindsy got from the group match just now was like watching Connor race against a primary school student. At the beginning, Connor had been controlling his speed and following closely behind everyone. However, when he was about to reach the finish line, hesuddenly increased his speed and surpassed everyone in front of him!

This situation was really strange!

Lindsy could not figure out what was going on!

As for Connor, who had already advanced to the finals, his expression seemed to be very calm. He stood quietly on the spot and accepted the shocked gazes of everyone present.

"The first round of the 100-meter sprint group competition has ended. The contestants who have advanced to the final are contestant No. 8: Fergus Long, and contestant No. 27: Glenn Quimbly. And lastly, we have contestant number 88, Connor McDonald..."

At this moment, the announcer began to list the contestants who had advanced to the finals.

The order of the names was based on the results of the group competition. Although everyone did not go all out in the group competition, Fergus was still the fastest overall.

Fergus, who was warming up to participate in the finals, was stunned when he heard Connor's name.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Connor, who was not far away and realized that Connor's number was 88. This meant that Connor had indeed advanced to the finals!

When Connor was participating in the group competition, Fergus had watched the first half of the competition. When he saw that Connor was one second slower, he felt extremely disdainful towards Connor. Moreover, Connor had been in last place for a while, so Fergus didn't pay too much attention to him.

After all, he felt that Connor's best result would end up as either second or third from the bottom. It should be impossible for him to advance to the finals.

Therefore, he didn't pay too much attention to Connor. Instead, he went to the field and started warming up.

However, when Fergus discovered that Connor had actually advanced, he was naturally very shocked!

"Wasn't Connor always in last place? How did he advance?"

Fergus could not help but mutter in his heart.

At this moment, the announcer spoke up again.

"Those who have advanced to the finals, please gather at the track. The 100-meter sprint finals are about to begin!"
