Chapter 345: Trampling On World Records

“Chen, why didn’t you teach them a lesson?” Eveleigh stared at Chen Zhao in frustration.
“How? You want me to throw all of them into the pool?”
“Since they want a competition, just go for it. You’re not scared of them, are you?”
“UC Games are just a few days away anyway. You can go and compete with them by then. Why should I do it?”
“It’s not like you. You shouldn’t be so submissive.”
“I’m a pacifist.”
“Who threw that person into the pool again?”
“I was forced to fight back.”
Both Eveleigh and Normans rolled their eyes. Pacifist?
The person only touched his shoulder and Chen Zhao flung him out by a few meters. How could Chen Zhao be a pacifist?
…
“Coach Urgat, do we admit defeat just like this?” A few men gathered around Urgat, their faces filled with indignation.
Although Urgat had said that only a competition could determine the winner, they just could not let it go. They could not even focus on their training.
These students were young, impetuous and frivolous.
In their school, they were used to doing whatever they wanted.
Today, they met an even more unreasonable person and were really displeased.
“Don’t worry, he won’t be happy for long. Didn’t that black man say that you need at least a professional boxer to beat that monkey? Just nice, I know a professional boxer in Los Angeles.”
“Coach, are you sure?”
“Of course. It’s my bro in high school. I haven’t seen him in a long time. It’s a good opportunity to have a drink with him.”
“Coach, bring us too.”
“Sure. I remember he opened a fitness center. I’ll bring you there after training today.”
After receiving Urgat’s affirmative reply, the students began to focus on their training.
…
“Faster, even faster, faster! Kick your legs.” Chen Zhao swam in the lane beside Eveleigh and kept urging her.
However, Eveleigh stopped before she reached the end.
“Asshole, who swims like that?! You asked me to charge when there’s still 500 meters. I can’t make it to the end!” Eveleigh shouted.
“That just means that you’re trash. You should reconsider taking part in the competition.”
“Then you come and show me.”
“Why me?”
“Didn’t you call me trash because I couldn’t do it? Then prove to me that you’re not trash.”
“What if I can do it?”
“Then I’ll admit I’m trash.”
“No, let’s have an actual bet. Whether you admit it or not, you’re still trash.”
“You want to deceive me into betting again?” Eveleigh’s face darkened.
Just then, Normans, who was outside the pool, suggested, “How about this? If you can swim at full speed for the entire 800 meters, I’ll give you ten thousand.”
Eveleigh found it a good idea. “Good suggestion. I admit that you’re fitter than me, but I don’t believe that you can charge for the entire journey.”
“Ten thousand is too little.” Chen Zhao twitched his lips.
“I’ll add ten thousand too.”
“You said it yourself.” Chen Zhao was energized at once.
“Do you need some food?”
“No, it’s hard to swim when I’m too full,” Chen Zhao said. After he climbed out of the pool, he did some warm-up.
“You ready?”
Chen Zhao stood on the platform. “Yes.”
“Ready…”
Bang…
Chen Zhao immediately plunged into the water. Eveleigh and Normans used their own stopwatch to measure Chen Zhao’s speed.
“He’s so fast.”
“50 meters, 21 seconds.”
“This is close to a top-tier short distance swimmer, right?”
The world record for 50m freestyle was 20.91 seconds. There were not many people who could make it under 21 seconds.
Apart from fitness and skills, luck was also important for the birth of a world record.
Usually, a person who could complete the journey within 21 seconds was already good enough to break the world record.
Even the person who made the world record might not be able to achieve the same result again.
The best 50m freestyle swimmers could finish the swim in about 21 seconds.
Therefore, Eveleigh and Normans could not believe Chen Zhao’s swimming speed.
Nevertheless, they were using manual stopwatches, which might not be very accurate.
Chen Zhao turned around and continued at the same amazing speed.
“100 meters!”
“43.43 seconds.”
World record! He broke the world record!
Eveleigh and Normans looked at the swimming Chen Zhao in astonishment.
His speed almost did not decrease at all. 21 seconds for 50 meters, and 43.43 seconds for 100 meters. The extra one second was used for turning around.
Chen Zhao’s result was better than the world record not by 0.1 second, but by more than 3 seconds.
The timing obtained with a manual stopwatch might have an error of a fraction of a second, but definitely not 3 seconds.
“200 meters, 1 minute and 28 seconds. Another world record.” Eveleigh and Normans looked at each other.
“He’s a real monster.”
“400 meters, 3 minutes and 1 second.”
Another world record was trampled, no, shattered by Chen Zhao,
Apart from the 50m freestyle, Chen Zhao had shattered the records for freestyle, including 100m, 200m, and 400m.
It was not hard to imagine what furor he would stir up if he appeared in a competition.
Without exaggeration, if Chen Zhao became a professional swimmer, it would be the end of the world for the other swimmers!
Chen Zhao did not just break the record by a bit but destroyed them entirely.
He broke the 100m record by 3.5 seconds, the 200m record by 14 seconds, and the 400m record by an unbelievable 40 seconds.
When Chen Zhao reached 700 meters, he sped up instead of slowing down.
The 800 meters were finally completed. Chen Zhao reappeared on the surface. “Did I win the bet?”
Eveleigh and Normans looked at their stopwatch: 5 minutes and 58 seconds.
It was a result that could only be achieved by a beast.
They felt that their stopwatches were both broken.
Chen Zhao’s speed for the last 400 meters was even faster than the first 400 meters.
He’s definitely not a human…
“You won,” Eveleigh said unwillingly, deleting the timing on the stopwatch.
“Chen, what’s the fastest speed you can achieve?”
“Dunno.”
“Was your speed after the dive your fastest?”
“About there. I didn’t use all my strength.”
Chen Zhao was even holding back.
After the training, Chen Zhao left the swimming complex.
Just as he exited, he saw Tiger outside. “Mr. Chen, excuse me.”
