In Earth's human track and field events, sprinting and long-distance running were almost two entirely different sports, with vastly different training methods. Speed was not the only metric of measurement.
Hundred-meter sprinters focused on short-term bursts. Their short-distance speed might be unmatched; judged purely by speed, no one could beat them. However, this explosive burst was difficult to sustain. After a brief moment of glory, they would fall into endless exhaustion.
In a pursuit like this, speed was certainly a very important attribute, but endurance was an equally crucial factor. This was especially true in their current situation.
Dormalid's goal was to trail Zhou Yuanjue from a distance, maintaining a certain gap without engaging in direct contact. As the pursuer, he had to constantly match Zhou Yuanjue's speed, or else he would lose his target completely. On the other side, Zhou Yuanjue was in the position of the escapee, holding the complete initiative.
