Chapter 86: Chapter 77: Just in Time, the Cockroach Monster in the School (4K, Request for Monthly Tickets)_2

The driver glanced at Xue Jing through the rearview mirror and, while handing over the QR code to Xue Jing, asked with confusion,

“You're going on foot? We're quite far from Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School, even if you run, I'm afraid it would take half an hour. It might be better to wait until the road is clear.”

After Xue Jing paid using the QR code, he smiled and said,

“No worries, my running speed is a bit faster than others.”

He opened the car door and got out.

Instead of heading along the road, he turned and looked towards Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School.

“Between two points, the straight line is the shortest.”

He muttered to himself.

The driver rolled down the front passenger window and called out to Xue Jing, “Young man, if you want to run, I can show you a shortcut…”

He hadn't finished speaking when his eyes went wide.

This handsome young man actually leaped straight off the overpass.

“Suicide!?”

The driver exclaimed.

The overpass was a good ten-plus meters above the ground!

He quickly opened the car door and got out, looking towards the place where Xue Jing jumped.

But he only saw a slender figure, unharmed, hopping around on the ground, moving from side to side, dodging and leaping over all obstacles in his path, speeding straight towards Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School.

Seeing that figure scale a wall and effortlessly leap over a three-story building, the driver fell silent.

Was this the… slightly faster speed the young man mentioned?

“The 100-meter dash is about to begin, participants please prepare to take your positions…”

The school broadcast announced repeatedly several times, and the class teacher Du Shiwei anxiously looked towards the school entrance.

“Why hasn't he arrived yet?”

The runners from all classes were already taking their places on the track.

“Hm? What's that?”

An astute female student from the Elite Class suddenly pointed in a certain direction.

Everyone followed where she was pointing.

They saw a figure moving rapidly across the rooftops of several distant buildings, leaping from one to another, speeding towards them.

His movements were light, seemingly strolling in a leisurely fashion, but every step took him four or five meters—a feat as exaggerated as the light-body skill in martial arts novels.

“That looks like Xue Jing!”

Someone exclaimed.

“Damn, this guy's finally here. Does the hero always make a last-minute entrance?”

“He really has been practicing martial arts, he's actually doing light-body wall climbing!”

“My god, our class is invincible. The top combined score is definitely ours; we're taking these extra points at the end of the term!”

The Elite Class was brimming with excitement.

Not too far away, Xue Jing could already see the campus. He didn't choose to enter through the main gate but instead leapt from the wall of a building, borrowing strength from his legs to jump over the fence into the school playground.

He spotted his class in an instant and, with a few quick strides, rapidly approached his classmates.

Du Shiwei breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Xue Jing sprinting over without a hint of redness on his face or shortness of breath, he smiled and said, “You've finally arrived.”

Xue Jing glanced at the student athletes positioning themselves on the track and raised his eyebrows, “It seems I'm just in time, isn't it?”

“Stop showing off, Lord Jing, hurry up and change into your uniform,” urged Li Ge from the side.

Xue Jing looked at the short-sleeved shirt and sports trousers he was wearing and said to Li Ge, “Give me your clothes.”

As Li Ge took off his tracksuit jacket and handed it to Xue Jing, he commented with a skeptical look, “You didn't even prepare your clothes… you didn't forget that today is the sports meet and only rushed over after receiving a phone call, did you…”

Xue Jing put on Li Ge's jacket without changing his expression and said, “How could that be? I washed the clothes yesterday, but with the recent dampness in South Heaven, they haven't dried.”

Li Ge cast a glance at the blazing sun above and said, “Do you want to listen to what you're saying?”

Xue Jing, avoiding the question, patted his shoulder and laughed, “Alright, I'm heading up.”

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the track.

As the students on the track positioned themselves, cheers from various classes were nonstop, coming together in an organized chant.

But when Xue Jing entered the field and took his place, the Elite Class students were just about to shout out too.

Unexpectedly, the moment he stepped onto the field, the scene turned chaotic.

“Senior!! Xue Jing senior!! Go for it! Go for it!”

“Senior, I want to have your babies, senior!”

Various strange shouts and screams made Xue Jing's mouth twitch.

They also made the faces of the other competitors turn distasteful.

At this moment, the physical education teacher playing the role of a guest judge raised the starting pistol.

“On your marks!”

Everyone assumed their starting positions.

“Bang!”

After the starting pistol was fired, all the competitors instantly took off.

At that time, among the eight competitors present, they only heard the sound of “whoosh,” and could do nothing but watch as a figure dashed out ahead, getting farther and farther from them.

Xue Jing was running at ease on the track, not utilizing his full strength, roughly just a bit more serious than his usual morning run.

Still, it was a speed that the other students found unimaginable.

On the sports field, Lin Shiyu watched the figure speeding on the track with complex eyes and sighed softly.

Thinking that she had completely lost her chance, she felt more heartbroken the more she watched and turned her head away, unwilling to see that captivating figure anymore.

At that moment, she suddenly spotted a dark shadow flickering across the wall of the nearby classroom building.

The shadow moved incredibly fast, and when Lin Shiyu looked again, she found nothing.

She rubbed her eyes, which had fogged up with a layer of moisture, feeling as if she were seeing things.

“Teacher, I don't feel well, may I go lie down in the infirmary?”

Lin Shiyu found her homeroom teacher and asked softly.

As Xue Jing crossed the finish line with an overwhelming lead, countless screams and cheers nearly drowned the entire school.

Li Ge reluctantly rubbed his ears, feeling that his premonition had become a reality.

Really now, having Lord Jing join such a race, how was this different from directly breaking the hearts of those junior girls?

“Good, good, good…”

When Xue Jing returned to the class assembly point, Du Shiwei excitedly patted his shoulder, saying the word “good” three times.

Xue Jing took the mineral water handed to him by a female classmate, thanked her, then twisted open the cap and took a few sips.

“How many events do I have left?”

Xue Jing screwed the bottle cap back on and asked.

“For today, there's the 400-meter run and the relay race… Oh, and there's also the three-legged race…”

Xue Jing let out a puzzled “Huh?” and asked, “Three-legged race?”

Du Shiwei said, “Aren't you trying to dominate all the running events? The three-legged race is somewhat related to running, isn't it?”

Xue Jing: “…”

He was about to respond when suddenly a scream came from the direction of the teaching building.

“Ahhhh!”

This scream was completely different from the cheers and screams for Xue Jing previously; it was filled with terror and panic, and the difference was very clear.

The students turned their heads in confusion toward the source of the noise.

Soon, similarly terrified screams erupted within the crowd of students.

Before them, near the teaching building, a beautiful girl with a slender figure sat on the ground, moving backward in panic and confusion.

In front of her, at the entrance to the teaching building, lay a horrific monster.

Its shape was like a combination of a human and a cockroach, with six insectoid legs, and it was currently holding a piece of a human's lower body in its pincers, tearing and chewing at the flesh with its sharp mandibles.

“Monster, monster!”

“What is that, a cockroach?”

“It's eating someone! Who is being eaten?”

“Run, run for it!”

Most of the students ran away in panic, like a tide moving away from the teaching building.

Xue Jing's pupils constricted, his mind shaken.

Cockroach Monster!?

After speaking with White Crow, he already knew what that Cockroach Monster he had killed was, and also that there wouldn't just be one of them.

No one could understand the combat power and ferocity of the Cockroach Monster better than him.

This creature, if it were not for his special circumstances, possessing a wide array of skills on his panel, his abilities being far too comprehensive, he would just be easy prey for it.

Such a thing had actually gotten into the school?

(I overestimated my ability to produce text… It's simply impossible to store manuscripts, and therefore updating times can't be fixed. I'll leave it to fate, as forcing updates will only drastically reduce quality…)

(There's one more chapter, also 4K words, not an extra update, but rather a compensation for the scarce update yesterday.)

(I need monthly passes!)
