The nine boys from Coastal High School were already irate from the taunting by the Puping Team members and could not vent out their frustration.
At the start of the race, they naturally turned their anger into motivation, exerting all their energy and bursting ahead.
In a moment, they actually surged to the front of everyone, including Chen Feng and the ten members of the Puping Athletics Team.
However, Chen Feng shook his head at this.
Because anyone with a bit of experience in middle- and long-distance running knows that such an early lead in a long-distance race is ultimately meaningless.
At the beginning, one must conserve energy to use in the final sprint.
Otherwise, if one sprints too hard at the start, there will be no energy left for a necessary sprint at the end, resulting in easy overtaking by others.
