Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Chasing Each Other_1

The battle was about to erupt.

The dozen or so families of competitors, who had nearly fainted from the stench of Li Niu’s big feet, had all withdrawn from the fight, leaving only Xu Fan, with Tongtong, to face Li Niu and his son alone.

Everyone looked at Xu Fan with the kind of respect reserved for a group of eight hundred heroes, their eyes filled with admiration.

Even if Xu Fan couldn’t beat Li Niu, the mere fact that he dared to fight the Li Family father and son barefoot already showed Xu Fan’s immense courage.

The staff member, covering his nose, said in a deep voice, “Get ready!”

At that moment, Xu Fan, holding Tongtong, quickly placed Tongtong’s little feet on top of his own.

On the other side, Li Niu was no less decisive, coordinating perfectly with Li Xiaoniu. The pair, a large and a small brute, both with very agile movements, quickly assumed their ready positions.

“3… 2… 1… Begin!” ordered the staff member!

Li Niu and Li Xiaoniu were incredibly quick to react. Almost the instant the staff member gave the order, Li Niu, with his hand on Li Xiaoniu’s arm, lifted their left feet at the same time, then set them down together, followed by lifting their right feet and setting them down in unison.

Because Li Xiaoniu was still a child and had legs much shorter than Li Niu’s, each step was taken according to Li Xiaoniu’s stride; Li Niu would only step as far as Li Xiaoniu could.

Although Li Xiaoniu’s short legs didn’t cover much distance, their father and son’s perfect understanding and coordination made their steps steady.

Furthermore, with Li Niu’s huge and robust build, even though Li Xiaoniu weighed over ninety pounds at his young age, under the support of Li Niu, his body didn’t sway at all and was extremely stable.

These two may have been slow, but they were very steady, taking steps one by one towards the finish line.

As for Xu Fan, because Tongtong was after all a delicate little girl with athletic capabilities that were simply not on the same level as the brawny Li Family father and son, they started off a beat slower. Even walking proved difficult because standing on Xu Fan’s feet was uncomfortable for her, making it seem more like she was swinging rather than walking.

“Whimper, Daddy, look how fast they’re walking…” Tongtong, unsteady on her little feet, saw that Li Xiaoniu and Li Niu had already walked more than two meters while she hadn’t even reached one meter. She pouted and anxiously spoke to Xu Fan.

“Don’t worry, Tongtong. Now listen to my command. When I say left, you step with your left foot, and when I say right, you step with your right foot. Take big steps forward, don’t look at your feet, okay?” Xu Fan said to his daughter, the corners of his mouth slowly forming a smile.

“Okay!” Tongtong obediently nodded.

Although she didn’t know why Xu Fan wanted her to do this, she knew that as long as she listened to Xu Fan, it certainly wouldn’t be wrong.

“So let’s start now. We’re going to aim for the championship,” Xu Fan said lightly beside his daughter.

“Mm-hmm! Tongtong wants to be the champion!” Tongtong affirmed resolutely.

“Alright, let’s start walking. Listen to my command, left!” Xu Fan said loudly.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Tongtong was no longer timid as before, but instead boldly stepped forward with great strides.

Xu Fan’s body was now more precise than the world’s most powerful computer. The moment Tongtong took a large step and her toes were about to touch the ground, Xu Fan’s left foot instantaneously appeared below Tongtong’s foot, steadily cushioning her little foot.

“Right!” Xu Fan almost simultaneously shouted the command.

Without hesitating, Tongtong moved her right leg and walked forward.

Xu Fan repeated the same action, able to place his foot firmly where Tongtong was about to step at the very instant she was going to land.

Such lightning-fast speed and computer-like anticipation left Li Niu, a former provincial team member, lagging a full eight hundred meters behind Xu Fan.

Moreover, Xu Fan was a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Once a martial artist reached the level of Martial Arts Grandmaster, they could obtain the ability of the Air Control Technique. Therefore, even if Xu Fan didn’t use his hands to support Tongtong, she would not fall. Whenever Tongtong’s center of gravity was even slightly unbalanced, a mysterious force would appear on her body, gently supporting her, keeping her frame stable.

With Xu Fan’s commanding and assurance, Tongtong was now effortlessly moving along like walking on flat ground, merrily racing towards the finishing ribbon ahead.

“Left…right…left…right…left…right…left…right…left…right…left…right…left…right…” Following Xu Fan’s voice, Tongtong ran faster and faster, and soon caught up with Li Niu and his son, who had started with a quicker pace.

At the start, Li Niu, seeing Tongtong’s frightened face, thought he had the victory in the bag and didn’t take Xu Fan seriously at all. His coordination with Li Xiaoniu also became smoother.

Unexpectedly, after taking just a few steps, he saw Xu Fan shouting “left-right-left-right,” and they rapidly caught up.

And that soft, weak little cutie from a moment ago had suddenly turned into a woman swift as the wind, no longer just walking but charging towards the finish line like she was running.

A myriad of expletives raced through Li Niu’s mind.

He watched Tongtong’s performance closely but couldn’t spot any problems. Tongtong now looked no different from a child frolicking in a plaza, merely running forward joyously.

The key issue lay with this young man of clean appearance leading Tongtong. No matter how great Tongtong’s movements were, his foot could always accurately arrive under hers in time, with more precision than a drill team that had rehearsed ten thousand times, without the slightest error.

Although Li Niu was a former athlete, he still needed to anticipate movements and have a tacit understanding with his son to ensure that no mistakes occurred. If Li Xiaoniu ran as wildly as Tongtong, Li Niu would absolutely not manage to catch him.

He was merely an athlete, not a deity. His physical fitness was just a bit better than that of an ordinary person. No matter how high their coordination, Li Xiaoniu would still occasionally lose his balance. If it weren’t for Li Niu’s sturdy arms constantly controlling Li Xiaoniu’s center of gravity, he would have fallen to the ground after just two or three meters.

“Dad, they’ve actually overtaken us, let’s speed up too!” Li Xiaoniu, seeing Xu Fan and Tongtong effortlessly surpass them, cried out in shock.

“Alright, it seems we need to pick up the pace, now use the pace you use when you run with me in the morning, keep your balance, and we must become champions!” Li Niu bellowed, ready to exert more force as well.

“Okay!” Upon hearing his dad’s words, Li Xiaoniu immediately increased his speed from a brisk walk to a slow jog.
