98: Chapter 80 Can I Swim Like This?
Humiliation, sheer humiliation!
Fifteen round trips—that swimming pool is 50 ters long, aning this race is 1500 ters.
1500 ters is quite a long distance.
The reason Zhou Hong set this distance was to play a little trick.
A distance this long, most people couldn’t finish swimming it, and they might even be completely worn out if they’re not careful.
As long as Li Chen runs out of energy in the pool, making him look foolish would be accomplished.
However, what he didn’t expect was for Li Chen to be even more bold, stating outright that if he didn’t finish within his own five laps, he would concede defeat!
The notion of swimming five laps compared to fifteen, is completely different.
It’s like asking soone to run 1500 ters in the ti it takes another to run 500 ters.
Even the sprinter Bolt would struggle with that, right?
Zhou Hong laughed in extre anger, “Fine, fine, fine.”
“Get ready!”
On the other side, soone had begun acting as the referee, while the crowd of students seed to think the excitent wasn’t enough.
“Hey, who is that guy competing against Zhou Hong?”
“Don’t know, I don’t recognize him.”
“Then this match is definitely Zhou Hong’s win, he’s the main force of the swimming team!”
“Go Zhou Hong, I want to have your babies!”
…
The students were all shouting and cheering by the side.
Lin Xiaoxiao, upon realizing they were all cheering for the other side, also cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly, “Li Chen!
You can do it!”
Upon hearing this, Li Chen gave her a thumbs-up and a slight smile.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Hong felt even more irritated.
“Start!”
As the referee’s voice fell, Zhou Hong and Li Chen both leaped into the water, imdiately causing a huge splash, with the fluctuating cheers of the students echoing around them.
Once Zhou Hong entered the pool, he adjusted his breathing and rhythm.
The 1500 ters swim was a challenge for him too!
As long as he maintained his pace, he was confident he could leave Li Chen far behind.
However, at this mont, an extrely enthusiastic cheer burst from among the spectators!
“Oh my god!”
“How can he swim so fast?”
“Unbelievable!”
…
A series of surprised exclamations erupted, and Lin Xiaoxiao also covered her mouth in astonishnt.
This—her brother-in-law was exaggerating too much, wasn’t he?
When the two initially dived in, they indeed were quite similar, but the next second, Li Chen’s legs seed to have a motor attached, moving extrely fast, promptly leaving Zhou Hong behind.
By the ti Li Chen touched the wall for the first turnaround, Zhou Hong had only swum half the distance!
In that half distance, if you don’t count the initial montum from the dive, Zhou Hong’s actual swimming distance was even less!
Zhou Hong felt sothing was off; what was happening?
Those cheers didn’t seem to be for him.
And at that mont, while swimming, Zhou Hong seed to see a figure passing by him from the adjacent lane—and in just a second, the person swam past.
Zhou Hong was stunned.
How could this be?
He hadn’t even finished one lap, and the other had finished one and a half?
“Wow, sister…
Li Chen, you’re amazing!” Lin Xiaoxiao was so excited she almost jumped up, nearly slipping out her true words.
Li Chen’s legs shook rapidly, and soon, he completed a lap.
Li Chen’s arms reached forward, his feet moved, and he twisted his body, startlingly changing position.
Backstroke!
The surrounding students burst into cries of amazent, and the female students were even more starry-eyed, “Which college is this guy from?
He’s amazing!”
Even with backstroke, Li Chen’s speed showed no signs of slowing down; by the ti the other swimr had made it halfway after touching the wall, Li Chen had already caught up!
In no ti, Li Chen had taken the lead by an entire lap!
Through the splashing water, Zhou Hong also saw the figure beside him zoom towards the front, as if on a cheat mode!
Blinking his eyes behind his goggles, Zhou Hong’s gaze was full of shock; how could this be?
How could the other be so fast?
At this rate, had he already lapped him?
Instantly, Zhou Hong’s rhythm and speed beca sowhat erratic, but he quickly adjusted himself, staying calm.
As long as I finish five laps before he completes fifteen, I still win.
Now, Zhou Hong had completely cast aside the words he himself had said and instead treated Li Chen’s words as the standard for victory.
“Li Chen, you’re amazing, keep it up, go go!” Lin Xiaoxiao was excited beyond asure, and at this mont, Li Chen was already onto the second lap.
Amidst the cheers and applause of the students, he changed his style again.
One could see his hands persistently reaching forward while his legs folded and unfolded like a frog’s.
Breaststroke!
The cheering of the students continued.
This was the third style Li Chen had switched to—starting with freestyle, moving to backstroke, and now, breaststroke!
Amid the cheers, Li Chen was zipping back and forth as if he were on a cheat mode.
The contrast between the two was stark, showing Zhou Hong leisurely swimming while Li Chen rapidly shuttled back and forth beside him.
“How many laps?” asked the bewildered referee to a lane counter beside him.
“Zhou Hong is almost at three laps, and that guy has already done ten,” the lane counter replied, dumbfounded.
Was the other guy injected with chicken blood?
He seed unstoppable.
Li Chen’s style changed once again, this ti to butterfly.
The students watching were ecstatic; this guy was undeniably aweso, explosively good!
After completing two laps with butterfly stroke, Li Chen switched his technique again, and as everyone caught sight of Li Chen’s style, they all burst into laughter.
Lin Xiaoxiao was also laughing uncontrollably because Li Chen was actually using the doggy paddle!
“How can this guy be so fast even with doggy paddling?” The students imdiately noticed that no matter which style Li Chen used, his speed remained unaffected, and now with just two laps left, Li Chen could finish.
“How many laps now?” the refereeing student took a deep breath.
“Zhou Hong has just finished four laps, and that guy has two left.”
Li Chen doggy paddled briefly, with only one lap remaining, and at this mont, Zhou Hong had just completed four laps by touching the other wall, just needing to swim back and touch the wall to win!
Li Chen pushed off the wall and soared forward with remarkable speed, yet his position had changed once again, and this ti he was floating on the surface, hands behind his head, with only his feet rapidly kicking.
“This guy is just so cool!”
“Oh my gosh, he tried to chat up just now.
I should’ve given him my number.”
Zhou Hong swam with all his might, well aware that only half a lap remained.
As long as he finished this half lap, he would win.
However, at this mont, in the adjacent lane, a voice was rapidly catching up from behind.
“Li Chen, go for it!” Lin Xiaoxiao watched Li Chen with that sa relaxed swimming style easily catch up to Zhou Hong!
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Li Chen directly touched the wall.
