Survival Arena
Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Urban Warfare Time

Under the watchful eyes of many students, the Peacock and Black Hawk fought to an indistinguishable draw.

Chu Ge observed for less than three minutes, and the two birds of prey flew away.

Watching their disappearing figures, the students buzzed with discussion.

"Peacocks can fly?"

"Of course, have you never heard of 'peacocks fly southeast'?"

"They fought for so long, but it's hard to tell who won!"

"The Peacock's fighting skills are fierce; I'll need to be careful next time I visit the zoo."

"Luckily they didn't dive down and hurt anyone; catching you would be like grabbing a chick."

...

Chu Ge shook his head and turned back to the classroom.

There were two possibilities.

The first was a real-life dispute among the Survivors.

The second was that their Survival Competition Task took a long time, but considering the direction they flew, could the environment also be vast?

So far, Chu Ge's understanding of the rules of the Survival Arena was not yet complete.

It seems he needed to ask Gu Tianjiao.

Gu Tianjiao had even more survival experience than Gao Fei.

The other students also returned to the classroom one after another, making Class 3-7 quite lively as everyone chatted about the recent bird fight.

Song Xiaoyu leaned over to sit next to Tang Xuejia and chatted endlessly.

It wasn't until Tang Xuejia's desk mate arrived that she reluctantly left.

After Chen Xunjie arrived in the classroom and found out what happened, he regretted it deeply.

He should have come earlier to witness the thrilling fight.

Although it was Sports Day, early morning self-study continued.

The time reached 8:30 in the morning.

The sports day continued.

Today there was the senior year 100-meter dash.

Only Chu Ge and the athlete Wang Hang from Class 3-7 participated.

Heading to the field, Wang Hang patted Chu Ge on the shoulder and smiled, "Bro, we need to bring honor to our class. Let's meet in the final!"

After that, he walked away laughing.

Chu Ge shook his head and muttered, "It was you who insisted on signing me up; there goes your chance to show off."

Since he was participating, Chu Ge definitely intended to win first place.

A young man ought to be a little reckless.

Song Xiaoyu, pulling Tang Xuejia along, came over curiously and asked if he was confident.

"Just wait, the first place is in the bag," Chu Ge answered nonchalantly.

Seeing his confidence, both girls couldn't help but look forward to it.

Sitting down in front of the stone steps where Class 3-7 was positioned, Chu Ge quietly took out his phone next to Tang Xuejia, hiding it with his clothes to avoid the teacher's notice.

What he asked about was naturally work-related.

He urgently needed to earn money to ease his parents' concerns.

Hopefully, that wealthy patron could get through the city battle safely.

Soon, Gao Fei replied with a long message:

Bro, the big shot hasn't finished the city battle yet. The environment of the city battle is huge, and it takes a long time, at least half a month, I reckon. Let me tell you, I nearly lost my life in this task. I keep encountering ferocious birds, and my parrot's advantage in the sky can't be utilized. Thankfully, I can speak human language and sought help from humans.

Alas, aside from the guaranteed points, I didn't earn anything else, which is really depressing. I want to drink, I want to sing K, and I seek comfort from a princess.

...

Chu Ge wanted to laugh at the message; this guy was really not serious.

"What are you laughing at, so lewd," Song Xiaoyu's voice came from the side. From her viewpoint, Chu Ge appeared to be staring and smirking at something between his legs beneath the school uniform.

Chu Ge glanced at her and said, "With so many handsome guys on the field, you don't watch them but stare at me. Could it be that you like me? Let me tell you, I'm not a simple guy. If I date, I have several girlfriends at a time; falling for me will break your heart."

Song Xiaoyu was speechless, what shamelessness.

Tang Xuejia also looked at Chu Ge with disdain.

The two girls no longer paid attention to Chu Ge and continued to talk about the track meet.

Chu Ge looked up and saw that the 100-meter dash for the sophomore class was underway; he noticed that quite a few top students were watching the meet with their textbooks in hand on the staircase.

Impressive.

If you don't succeed, who will?

Chu Ge shook his head with a smile and continued chatting with Gao Fei.

Tang Xuejia and Song Xiaoyu really thought he was chatting with his girlfriend.

One hour later.

Chu Ge was notified by the loudspeaker to pick up his number bib; he didn't bother changing his clothes but walked toward the temporary tent beside the podium in his summer school uniform.

It was nearly autumn, but Nanluo City was still not cold, with temperatures hovering around 27 to 28 degrees Celsius.

After queuing and collecting his number bib, Chu Ge went to the starting line to wait.

The stone steps at the edge of the sports field were filled with people, at least a thousand students, and many students and locals from outside the school were also watching the event. Overall, it was very lively, and with the broadcasted music, it was also very exhilarating.

The competition was about to begin.

Chu Ge was in lane four, one of seven competitors.

The other contestants were all wearing sports shorts and tees, while he was the only one in long school pants.

He didn't take the track meet seriously, so naturally, he wasn't prepared.

"On your marks!"

The referee began signaling with the flag, and the seven competitors instantly got ready to start.

Chu Ge didn't even bother to crouch, just stood upright at the starting line, which made him look quite out of place.

"Damn! That guy is trying so hard to look cool!"

"He's obviously just here to fill the numbers!"

"Hahaha, which class is he from?"

"He's kind of handsome though."

"Handsome? What kind of taste is that, just seeking attention."

Many students were talking about Chu Ge, and even his fellow competitors looked at him as if he were a fool.

Song Xiaoyu covered her face and said, "This is so embarrassing."

Tang Xuejia laughed, "What if he's actually really good?"

With a bang!

The race started and six of the athletes burst out like arrows, all sprinting at full speed.

In the eyes of the spectators, Chu Ge was clearly a beat slow.

At first, he didn't go all out and just maintained a steady distance with the main pack, but even so, he was nearly ten meters behind.

Class 7's homeroom teacher, Xu Xuebing, covered his forehead and shook his head, "This kid…"

Originally, he had some expectations for Chu Ge based on his performance in PE class, but now, there were no expectations, just a joke.

The students from Class 7 of senior year also wailed in dismay.

It seemed that the dark horse Chu Ge wasn't strong after all.

"Currently leading at the front is competitor number one, Qin Jun from Class 2 of senior year; he has already run fifty meters…"

The commentator's voice from the podium echoed through the loudspeakers across the campus.

"Look! The student in lane four is picking up speed! So fast! My goodness!"

The commentator, a female student, exclaimed in surprise, drawing many students to turn their heads and look.

Suddenly, Chu Ge seemed like a different person, catching up to the other students with a visibly fast pace and overtaking them one by one.

In less than two seconds, he took the lead.

He kept sprinting!

And widened the gap from the students behind!

The students from Class 7 of senior year were all invigorated, shouting and cheering, and even the hard-working top students put down their textbooks and watched curiously.

In the end, Chu Ge won by an absolute advantage and qualified from his group.

The students from Class 7 swarmed around him.

Xu Xuebing's eyes widened in surprise, then after a moment, he followed with a punch in the air and shouted in excitement.
