At his words, Ye Lin reacted, her pretty face turning crimson in an instant.

"Shameless! Pervert!" Her entire body was pinned down by Lin Feng; she couldn't do anything. But with her fiery spirit, she would rather die than submit to Lin Feng's lewd advances!

"I'll bite you to death!"

Her limbs immobilized, Ye Lin could only resort to using her mouth. With a surge of anger, she abruptly turned her head and bit down hard on Lin Feng's shoulder.

Lin Feng, still immersed in his fantasy, suddenly felt a sharp pain jolt his shoulder, causing him to suck in a sharp breath of cold air.

"Damn, you really are like a dog, aren't you?"

Lin Feng hurriedly freed himself from Ye Lin's mouth, glaring at her hatefully. "You're too vicious! You vicious woman! That really hurts!"

At this moment, a satisfied smirk finally appeared on Ye Lin's face. She pouted and remained silent.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The sound of footsteps, growing louder as they approached, clearly reached both their ears. The Dajun of runners they had left behind was catching up.

"Ye Lin, I'm going to let you go now. You can't attack me again, you hear me?" Lin Feng said.

"Impossible! We can't both exist here; it's you or me!" Ye Lin defiantly stared at Lin Feng.

"Alright then, shall we maintain this posture here in the bushes? When they run by, they'll definitely see us. Haha, they'll probably think we're fooling around in the bushes. After that, you'll be my woman..."

"You... shameless!"

Ye Lin's face flushed scarlet with shame. Seeing Lin Feng's smug expression, anger churned within her. However, on second thought, she had to admit Lin Feng had a point. If others saw them like this, not only would they be subjected to gossip, but they might both be eliminated.

She wouldn't mind if Lin Feng were eliminated, but she herself absolutely could not be!

After some thought, Ye Lin looked at Lin Feng with a malicious glint in her eyes and said, "Let me go."

"You agree?" Lin Feng asked, thinking to himself, Goodness, even this wild mare of a woman has her reasonable moments. That's not easy.

"I'll remember this. We'll settle the score after I pass the Falcon Program selection! If you're so capable, pass it too!" Ye Lin said resentfully.

"I'll take that as a good omen; I intend to do just that." Lin Feng smiled, slowly releasing Ye Lin. He got up and dusted himself off.

Ye Lin also quickly scrambled to her feet, straightened her clothes, and brushed off the dirt. The two exchanged a glance, and Lin Feng immediately jumped aside, saying, "You have to keep your word. We agreed to wait until after the selection."

"We'll see! Hmph!"

Leaving those words behind, Ye Lin continued to run forward.

"We'll see?" See where? Or see everything... Lin Feng pursed his lips, then jogged to catch up.

At this moment, the Dajun had already rounded the bend. Seeing Ye Lin and Lin Feng run out from Little Lu, a wave of hushed whispers spread through them.

"Damn! They just emerged from Little Lu! Don't tell me they actually snuck off for a quickie?"

"Fucking awesome! Daring to do that kind of thing in this situation... I'm thoroughly impressed! How thrilling!"

"A hot-blooded young man and a passionate young woman, huh? These two sure have strong desires... Damn, can that guy even handle her?"

Several people in the Dajun were discussing quietly. A lean man said to a muscular man, "Mr. Qin, quick, give me the money, 100 yuan."

The muscular man, having lost the bet, glanced at Lin Feng and Ye Lin's retreating figures and grumbled, "So they really were fooling around in the bushes. Damn, I misjudged that one! Here you go." With that, he pulled out one hundred yuan and handed it to the lean man.

「●」

Lin Feng and Ye Lin, despite the minor incident, were still essentially leading the entire Dajun.

As they neared the end of the course, everyone in the Dajun, drawing on their experience, gradually began to pick up their pace.

Lin Feng and Ye Lin, who were leading the Dajun by about ten meters, showed no signs of accelerating yet.

"Alright, guys, speed up! Let's overtake that guy and girl! I can't stand them leading!" someone in the Dajun shouted.

The Dajun collectively increased their speed, and in less than a minute, they had left Lin Feng and Ye Lin behind.

"Damn, I got a clear look at that girl! She's gorgeous, and her chest... Why would a girl like that participate in the selection?"

When the Dajun overtook Ye Lin, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on her figure as they ran past. Lin Feng, on the other hand, was completely ignored.

"So what if she's pretty, Mr. Qin? You can't win her over. Besides, they'll be eliminated soon," someone said.

"Heh, this is the price Rookies pay. They speed up right at the start—definitely asking for trouble. Then they went to the woods to fool around. You think they have any stamina left? ...Alright, talking is bad luck during a race, so I'll shut up. Guys, prepare to sprint! Fair competition!"

When it came to the sprint phase, the Dajun suddenly quieted down, everyone's feet moving faster. With less than a kilometer to go, the first round of the assessment was almost over.

Just as the Dajun as a whole began to accelerate, Lin Feng and Ye Lin also started to pour on the speed.

They hadn't accelerated earlier because they were regulating their breathing and conserving their stamina. Short-distance sprints were their strong suit.

And the last six or seven hundred meters was the perfect distance!

Both of them, as if by unspoken agreement, picked up their pace, running as if they were flying, as if they weren't carrying anything on their backs at all.

The runners ahead, who were also accelerating, were stunned to see the two they had left behind suddenly catching up, seemingly out of nowhere!

Moreover, they were even faster!

Seeing this, many were dumbfounded, thinking to themselves, Are these two aliens? How can they still run like that at this stage? They're absolute freaks!

The two in question said nothing, their speed only increasing. In just ten-odd seconds, they blew past the Dajun and reclaimed the lead!

At this, how could the people behind stand for it? It was one thing when you led at the start; we figured you were just clueless Rookies. But leading again now? Impossible!

However, the Dajun's attempts to accelerate were no match for Lin Feng and Ye Lin's pace. Another ten seconds or so, and the pair had opened up a lead of nearly a hundred meters, essentially locking in first and second place.

Originally, Ye Lin was about three meters ahead of Lin Feng, but when it came to the final three-hundred-meter sprint, she watched in astonishment as Lin Feng once again accelerated and surpassed her!

She was already running flat out. Seeing Lin Feng accelerate again, she could only watch his retreating figure with a helpless sigh, thinking to herself, That little rascal... he's actually quite skilled.

Soon, the first fifty runners crossed the finish line.

"Stop! Everyone behind, you don't need to run anymore! You're eliminated!" After the fiftieth runner crossed the finish line, Zhang Chu announced through a loudspeaker. "The remaining twenty-two of you can pack your bags and go home."

"Congratulations on passing the first round! Next is the second round of tests. Follow me!"

With that, Zhang Chu led the fifty who had passed to another location.
