Chapter 76 The Five-Man Six-Legged Race Begins

Xuan Mingtian ignored Bai Ying's reprimand and instead signaled that Potian's mission was complete. Then the trio headed straight for the class's meeting place.

Seeing his sister's face turn red with anger, Bai Wu followed the trio without hesitation.

Just then, Bai Ying quickly stepped past the four people and said, "Xuan Mingtian, I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering me?"

"Oh, it was your brother who gave me a wink, so I didn't answer."

Bai Wu stared wide-eyed at Xuan Mingtian, completely unexpected that someone would use him to deflect his sister's anger.

"Alright, let's go."

Xiao Gang noticed the awkward atmosphere and immediately tried to smooth things over, but Bai Ying's expression remained unchanged until the assembly time.

In no time, the five of them arrived at the meeting point, which was already bustling with people. The students were all discussing how delicious the roasted Slowpoke tails were and their anticipation for the game.

"Alright, students, now that we've divided into groups, which team will go first?"

The homeroom teacher's words once again brought the atmosphere in the class to a fever pitch.

"me"

"us"

"Class teacher, please choose us!"

The leaders of each team raised their hands, hoping that the homeroom teacher would choose them to be the first to face off, but only Bai Wu from Xuan Mingtian's team raised his hand.

To Bai Wu's disappointment, their team was the last to appear.

"Alright, students, this game is a test of your teamwork. I'm sure you've all practiced. As long as you work together, you'll definitely win. Good luck!" The homeroom teacher cheered on the students as they went on stage.

……

The temporarily modified competition venue came into view, and the five-person teams from each class were ready, their faces showing excitement.

The first two teams, Class 1 and Class 2, were whispering among themselves, constantly saying they wanted to beat them and follow orders.

The game started.

After the two teams shouted, the countdown "One, two, one" rang out in unison, and they quickly headed towards the turning point 30 meters away. Although they seemed to be in good order, Xuan Mingtian could still see that their steps were slightly disordered.

"Xiao Gang, want to make a bet with me?"

Xiao Gang looked at him suspiciously and said, "Xiao Tian, ​​have you discovered something?"

"You tell me first whether you want to gamble or not."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Gang said, "Okay, I'll bet with you, but whoever loses has to wash the other's clothes for a week."

“Alright, let’s bet on whether they’ll fall. My answer is yes,” Xuan Mingtian said casually.

Xiao Gang shook his head, indicating that it was unlikely. After all, he didn't believe that two teams marching in perfect unison would be defeated, and Bai Ying next to him also didn't believe it.

With the encouragement of their classmates, the two teams reached the turning point 30 meters away almost simultaneously. Just as they were turning, the accident finally happened. Due to the lack of coordination between the two teams, one person fell and injured the whole team.

After the incident, neither team was discouraged; instead, they stood up and continued running towards the finish line.

Meanwhile, nearby students were whispering among themselves, discussing the details and actions involved in turning during the upcoming race.

"See? I won this bet. Xiao Gang, you'd better remember to do my laundry for a week," Xuan Mingtian said smugly.

"Xiao Tian, ​​did you already know? You're setting me up like this, aren't you?" Xiao Gang stared at him with a serious expression.

"Yes"

"Yes, he's trying to scam you."

As soon as Xiaogang finished speaking, the two siblings agreed.

"Xiaogang, let's not talk about that now. When it's our turn, you stand on the far left, Binzi, you stand on the far right, and I'll stand in the middle. When you turn, you have to keep your balance." Xuan Mingtian immediately changed the subject when he realized that his bet had been exposed.

"Why are we standing like this? My brother and I haven't agreed to it yet."

Bai Ying spoke in a calmer tone this time because the other students had spent at least half an hour practicing, while she hadn't practiced for even a minute. Therefore, she believed that there was no hope for their team in this competition.

"Your consent isn't needed. It's three to two, the minority obeys the majority. Even if you lose, your brother can still help you eat the tree fruit." Xuan Mingtian issued a domineering declaration, directly eliminating their right to choose.

“Xuan, why would you say I would help her eat tree fruits? That’s impossible. Besides, this is between the two of you and has nothing to do with me.” Bai Wu immediately withdrew from their struggle.

A fierce gaze swept over everyone, and Xuan Mingtian and his two companions wisely turned around. The next second, a wail attracted the attention of the other students around them.

"Xuan, is the student behind you alright?" a student next to him asked out of concern.

"It's okay, he's thick-skinned."

The student simply said "oh" and then ignored it.

Time flew by. After the first group's competition, the students all knew that they had to be careful when turning, so there were no more mass falls in the following competitions. However, even if they didn't fall, the losers were still wailing and lamenting, because what awaited them was either sourness or bitterness.

Next, it will be Xuan Mingtian and his team's turn to take the stage.

Upon arriving at the starting point, the trio arranged themselves according to the plan, with Xiao Gang on the far left, followed by Bai Ying, Xuan Mingtian, Bai Wu, and Yang Bin. Everything was ready, and the trio even exchanged a knowing glance.

"Start"

As soon as the teacher finished shouting, Xuan Mingtian also yelled, "Action! 1, 2, 1, 2..."

As soon as they finished speaking, the trio lifted the two siblings into the air in unison. At the same time, they shouted "1!" and stepped out with their left foot, then their right foot, with perfect rhythm. However, Bai Ying and Bai Wu were stunned in mid-air, their feet being pulled along by the trio.

Seeing this, everyone stared wide-eyed at the trio's actions. The previously noisy crowd fell completely silent. Meanwhile, the other team, which was already behind in the competition, also wanted to use this method, but unfortunately, they lacked the same coordination.

The other homeroom teachers, realizing what was happening, said, "Teacher Chen, does the trio of students skipping class in your class count as a violation?"

"I guess so. This is the first time I've seen this situation, but the rules don't say it's forbidden." Teacher Chen was also perplexed by this situation.

"How about we declare the three truant students the winner, and the other team doesn't have to eat the tree fruit? Teacher Chen, what do you think of this?"

"Okay, that's the only way."

After replying, Teacher Chen continued to observe the situation on the field. After all, normal people run in groups of five, but here they were running like this. They could only blame themselves for being ignorant.

Upon reaching the transfer point, Xuan Mingtian continued to shout, "Wait, follow Xiao Gang and turn to the left."

Xiao Gang and Yang Bin immediately understood. Bai Wu and Bai Ying, who were being carried by the three men, were forced to follow the group's movements, their minds still reeling from the shock.

Da da da

The group spun along with Xiaogang, and although the speed was slow, there was no panic; they maintained the proper rhythm.

"1, 2, 1, 2"

The trio continued with their initial shouts and rhythm, advancing 5 meters. Xiao Gang glanced at his opponent, who was about to reach the turning point, and a mocking expression appeared on his face. This made his opponent so angry that he wanted to punch him.

In 35 seconds, the trio carried the two siblings back to the finish line. The time taken was the shortest and the most innovative since the start of the race.

Ten seconds later, the opponent finally arrived, his face filled with anger. Even though he had eaten the other person's food, he still had to be angry.

"Teacher, I protest! They fouled!" The losing opponents accused the trio of cheating.

"Teacher, we didn't break the rules. There's no rule against doing this in the competition. I think they're just afraid of eating tree fruits." Xuan Mingtian righteously provoked the angry team.

"Who says we're scared? We'll eat right now and show you."

As soon as the five finished speaking, they immediately picked up the lemon fruits on the table and ate them. The teacher didn't even have time to react. After all, people's IQ is negative when they are angry, let alone that they are just children. They couldn't understand Xuan Mingtian's provocation at all.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Before the teacher could finish speaking, the five of them had already stuffed the lemons on the table into their mouths, and then stood in front of Xuan Mingtian with "funny" expressions.

"Ugh, it's so sour!"

"Look, we've finished eating."

Xuan Mingtian simply said, "Idiots, tree fruits are only eaten when you lose a match, so you lost this time."

The five were stunned by the words and realized what had happened, but there was no going back. They turned to look at the referee with a pitiful expression.

"Alright, Xuan's group has won this competition." After announcing the result, the teacher said to the five losers, "I was going to announce that you don't need to eat the tree fruit, but I was about to say wait, and you had already stuffed them into your mouths. I couldn't stop you in time."

The teacher's words made the five members of the Lemon Group lower their heads in shame and turn away. If they stayed any longer, they would probably be so embarrassed that they could dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.

The competition didn't stop because of this little incident; on the contrary, it made everyone even more excited, since the students had all learned new methods.

However, in the following matches, all those who used Xuan Mingtian's method fell down due to a lack of coordination and teamwork, which was like divine assistance to their opponents.

"Xuan, next time you have any plans, could you let us know in advance? Your actions make my brother and me very anxious," Bai Ying finally mustered her courage to say as the conversation drew to a close.

"Bai Ying, if I had told you this beforehand, do you think you could have agreed so easily?"

Xuan Mingtian's words really hit the nail on the head for the group. After all, if the two siblings found out, they definitely wouldn't agree. Regardless of whether it was cheating or not, just being brought up as a reason to run away was enough to make them feel ashamed.

The game lasted for nearly two hours before it ended. Some people were happy while others were sad. The sad ones were definitely the ones who ate the super sour lemon fruit or the super bitter leva fruit.
