Is being a loli-con against the law? Is it something to be proud of? You're a cougar-con, and I haven't even despised you yet, and you dare to despise me? Get lost!\" I was so angry I scolded Third Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me tell you, being a loli-con really is against the law, be careful!\" Third Brother chuckled and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, I just like the loli look, I don't actually like little ones!\" I looked at Third Brother, annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In any case, you're a pervert!\" Third Brother shouted defiantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost!\" I turned my head directly and ignored Third Brother's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When school ended in the afternoon, Third Brother and I went to the sports club together. I looked at the sports club and found that there weren't many people. I walked over and looked at Chen Duxiu. \"Is this all the people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, some were scared by the bullying and have already joined Li Hong's side, and some simply quit. The ones left are all good brothers I can trust!\" Chen Duxiu looked helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there were less than twenty people in the entire sports club, I gently patted Chen Duxiu on the shoulder. \"It's okay. The waves wash away the sand; those who remain are naturally the elite. I also believe that everyone can be better in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Duxiu nodded, then said to the dozen or so people under him, \"Calling everyone here today is mainly to announce one thing: from now on, we will follow Brother Yun. From now on, Brother Yun is our boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozen or so people around heard this news, their expressions strange, and they all started whispering and discussing, with many who were clearly unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's my fault for failing everyone; I'm useless. But I believe that under Brother Yun's leadership, we will definitely get better and better!\" Chen Duxiu said loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What right does he have to be the boss? He's only been at school for a few days!\" one of them said with great resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, why should he be the boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the surrounding talk, Third Brother's face turned dark, and he directly scolded, \"What right? Just because we are powerful, we dare to provoke Li Hong, we dare to beat Li Heng—isn't that enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people around heard Third Brother's words and didn't speak. Although Third Brother was being quite arrogant, it was undoubtedly a good way to shock them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know everyone is still not quite convinced by us, and I understand. But what I can guarantee is that in the future, everyone will no longer be bullied by Li Hong. Li Hong has just become the boss, so his foundation is definitely not very stable. After Third Brother and I join you, at least they won't find trouble with you in the short term. As for later, those who hang out in the streets always have to pay back, and it's time for him to pay back!\" I shouted to the people around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew that relying on my words alone wouldn't make them obedient, and I didn't expect them to listen to me obediently in one day. Dignity is something that must be accumulated slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next few days were the school sports meet. The classmates in the class weren't very optimistic about Third Brother and me participating in the sports meet. They felt that this kind of thing wasn't about being good at fighting, but about running fast; after all, those who specifically practiced sports had stronger endurance and the like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, every time the sports meet came around, those boys were particularly active in showing off, as it was equivalent to being able to display themselves in front of the entire school, letting more girls know them. And if they won, there were quite a few cash rewards for the rankings, so everyone was particularly active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the first few days of the sports meet, the students in the class were happily eating and drinking, more united than usual. Under Chen Ling's active efforts and everyone's enthusiastic participation, the class's results were quite good. Only the long-distance running for Third Brother and me remained. If Third Brother and I could get a ranking in the long-distance run, our class's results would be the highest in the entire grade, so the teacher and Chen Ling had very high expectations for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, most of the people in the class weren't very optimistic about us, and Third Brother and I naturally didn't take it to heart. After our training these days, our bodies had completely changed from before; whether it was endurance, physical strength, or other abilities, they were not something ordinary people could compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when Third Brother and I got on the track, those on the stands looked at us with great disdain because my body wasn't considered very strong. Although I had practiced the kung fu the old beggar gave me, my physique couldn't compare to those who had been practicing sports all along. By comparison, I looked like a little skinny monkey, so they naturally wouldn't look up to me. As for Third Brother, he only looked slightly stronger than me on the outside, but his physique was also average. I even heard quite a bit of mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother was so angry he cursed, \"These people are really short-sighted. In a moment, I'll blind their dog eyes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled slightly and didn't speak. Among the others on the track, there were a few I had met before—Chen Duxiu and his group. Chen Duxiu also came to participate in this competition. After all, he was the president of the sports club, so long-distance running definitely couldn't do without him. He also nodded slightly at us when he saw us, but it was clear there was a kind of fighting spirit in his eyes, a desire to compete with us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the start of the run, Third Brother, Chen Duxiu, and I ran very slowly, maintaining a constant speed to conserve energy. Chen Duxiu followed closely beside us while running, watching our movements. After running three or four laps, several people couldn't take it anymore and directly left the field. Long-distance running relied on persistence and endurance; those who started sprinting as soon as they came out were definitely doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When there were about two or three laps left, Third Brother and I looked at each other, and we both started to accelerate together. Chen Duxiu saw this situation and also followed, but this guy Chen Duxiu's stamina was really no joke. Being able to be the president of the sports club, he really had some skills, actually being able to follow closely behind Third Brother and me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people on the stands were stunned. \"Is this for real? Those two can actually keep up with Chen Duxiu's speed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I estimate they won't be able to hold on soon. After all, Chen Duxiu has always been our school's record holder; no one is his opponent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I think so too. Although they are powerful, it's impossible for them to be better than Chen Duxiu. I believe in Chen Duxiu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother and I were leading the pack, and Chen Duxiu was following closely behind. However, when there was only one lap left, Chen Duxiu was clearly struggling, starting to pant heavily. As for Third Brother and me, we were like nothing had happened, breathing normally, which made Chen Duxiu very surprised and respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When there were only the last hundred meters left, Third Brother and I started our sprint, while Chen Duxiu behind us wanted to keep up, but his body's load had already been exceeded, and he couldn't sprint or increase speed at all, only able to pant heavily and run at a constant speed. The people on the stands saw this scene with faces full of disbelief, especially those fans and little fangirls of Chen Duxiu who were crazily cheering for Chen Duxiu on the stands.\u003C\u002Fp>",1336,"2026-06-11T10:32:36.211Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ad10b04a08c1db9fce62f5fa92e516cc6f0305f44c95ba47d78039388bd3f607","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-43","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-41",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-overlord-cover.jpg"]
