Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Li Niu Wants to Run_1

Li Niu collapsed face down on the ground after completing his 250th push-up, finally unable to continue, with a loud thump.

With his strength, he might have been able to hold on for another fifteen or twenty push-ups, but Xu Fan’s performance had completely shattered his confidence.

If your opponent is a robot that never knows fatigue, you too would feel the utter despair that Li Niu experienced.

Li Niu’s scorer breathed a sigh of relief at this moment and loudly reported the score to the organizer’s area, “Contestant number 13, 250!”

“Hahaha, number thirteen, not only a jinx but also a 250!”

“Looking at him, you know he can’t escape the fate of a 250.”

“Where did this guy get the guts to brag about becoming the champion? Look at this young man; he doesn’t even seem a bit tired. If he really gets going, he’d ground this black bull into the floor.”

The spectators did not admire Li Niu for completing 250 push-ups; instead, most people, disliking his attitude, relentlessly mocked him.

If Xu Fan’s performance hadn’t been there as a precursor, then Li Niu’s 250 push-ups would have been considered a ceiling-breaking achievement at this competition since many couldn’t even maintain a count in the double digits.

But Xu Fan’s performance turned Li Niu into nothing more than a pitiful clown.

At the beginning of the first event, the Squirrel Walk, his foot odor almost choked the spectators, and now in the push-up event, he used his strength to engage in a father-son match with Xu Fan, where the loser would call the winner ‘Grandpa’. Now, the harsh reality was laid bare before everyone’s eyes in the audience’s favorite way, so how could they not be excited?

“Contestant number 9, you can stop now, you are undoubtedly in first place,” said the timekeeper with a stopwatch, walking up to Xu Fan and advising him to stop.

He thought that Xu Fan could easily do a few hundred more push-ups if he wanted to, but this was a competition, not an exhibition match. Xu Fan was already the strongest there, and doing any more would be pointless.

Xu Fan nodded slightly. The reason he had been doing push-ups non-stop was to compete with Li Niu to see who could last until the end. Clearly, Li Niu was no match for Xu Fan, the Martial Arts Grandmaster, and eventually collapsed exhaustedly onto the floor, enduring the audience’s ridicule.

At that moment, Xu Fan slowly stopped his arms, turned around, and scooped up Tongtong behind him. With a swift leap, his body soared up, performing an impressive 720-degree spin in the air before landing gracefully on the ground with Tongtong in his arms.

The crowd, witnessing Xu Fan’s deft movement, was in awe, and many children who spent their days watching cartoons were ecstatic when they saw Xu Fan rise into the air and move effortlessly.

“Wow, this uncle is so cool, is he Superman…”

“Nonsense, he is not Superman, he is the legendary Sun Wukong, only Sun Wukong can fly…”

“Mommy, I want him to be my daddy… wuuu… I want a Superman daddy… I want a Sun Wukong daddy…”

Tongtong, now blissfully nestling in Xu Fan’s embrace, saw the envious gazes of the other kids and felt like a true princess, drowned in everyone’s admiring looks.

“Daddy, you are so cool, you are Tongtong’s Superman,” Tongtong affectionately snuggled her face against Xu Fan and said sweetly.

“Haha,” Xu Fan pinched Tongtong’s chubby little cheek, filled with joy.

By this time, the staff had already recorded the scores and noted down the number of participants in Group A.

Most of the people at the bottom of the list had around a dozen push-ups, while the first and second place were leagues ahead of them.

The second-place Li Niu managed 250 push-ups, and the first-place Xu Fan had completed a staggering 398.

Although both men had long surpassed the one-minute mark, the organizers decided after a discussion that anyone who still had the strength after one minute could continue doing more push-ups.

However, apart from Xu Fan and Li Niu, almost no one in Group A managed to hold out for a full minute, so this ruling was for the most part just wishful thinking and was not taken seriously by anyone.

On one side, the organizers had already started getting Group B ready for the parent-child push-ups, and on the other side, the parent-child sit-up competition was about to begin.

Li Niu had already picked himself up from the ground and, with his child Li Xiaoniu, squeezed through the crowd until they reached the very back row, ready to make their escape any second now.

He had previously boasted that he would kneel down and call Xu Fan “Grandpa” if he lost the bet, thinking he would never lose, which was why he dared to be so bold.

But now, the ironclad reality was laid out before him; while he might still be unbeatable when it came to stinky feet, his title as the strongest man had been thoroughly shattered by Xu Fan.

Li Niu was also a resident of Kowloon New City, and while it was not a case of seeing each other all the time, residents of the same community inevitably crossed paths.

If he knelt down and called someone else “Grandpa” in front of so many people today, how could Li Niu ever hold his head high in the community again?

Therefore, without much thought, Li Niu made his decision: the best plan is to retreat.

As long as he got through today, he could deny it all later, even if he encountered Xu Fan again.

Even if he couldn’t best him and truly had to kowtow and call him “Grandpa”, at least it would be done in private, without so many onlookers.

Now, with the field teeming with people, if Li Niu were to kowtow at this moment, he could forget about lifting his head high in the community ever again.

With this in mind, Li Niu did not hesitate at all, taking his little Xiaoniu and swiftly squeezing out of the crowd, hurrying toward the edge of the playground.

Just as he emerged from the crowd, Li Niu nervously glanced back, saw that no one had noticed him, and grasped Xiaoniu’s hand to walk briskly forward.

But as he turned and lifted his leg to walk, he suddenly discovered that Xu Fan, who was cradling Tongtong, had appeared right in front of him out of nowhere.

A faint smile played on Xu Fan’s face at this moment, but to Li Niu, that smile seemed more demonic than any devil’s.

“Contestant number 13, you’re not getting ready for the next event? Where are you running off to?” Xu Fan asked Li Niu with a barely concealed smirk.

“Uh uh, I was just going to the bathroom, yes, that’s right, I need to go to the bathroom,” beads of cold sweat immediately formed on Li Niu’s dark forehead as he stammered. Xu Fan’s speed was ghostly; Li Niu had no idea when Xu Fan had appeared in front of him.
