Soon after, the referee and several students came over with a new rope in tow.
They laid the lengthy hemp rope straight between the students of the two schools and then instructed them to prepare.
Compared to Chen Hao's calm and composed demeanor, the others were all visibly nervous.
At Nandu Middle School, the other students, having seen the rope break, felt a glimmer of hope but dared not fully believe it.
Especially Ning Xi, who was at the front, her pretty face still wore a dazed expression, seemingly not understanding why the rope had snapped, since she hadn't applied much force at all!
"Big Pervert, what just happened?" Ning Xi, having regained her senses and grabbing the rope again, couldn't help but whisper to Chen Hao, asking for an explanation.
"Maybe the rope got old in storage, or insects gnawed through it, which is why it broke as soon as we pulled," Chen Hao casually explained.
