Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Jumping from Where You Stand

”Haha, this kid is still shamelessly claiming he’ll snatch all the championships!”

”He can’t even start properly, and he’s thinking of challenging Wang Wenliang!”

As Lin Chen had just started, a chorus of boos rang out from the stands.

But as Lin Chen burst from the starting line, the originally noisy field suddenly fell silent.

Everyone’s mouths were agape, their expressions dumbfounded.

Wang Wenliang was far ahead, even more than ten meters ahead of the second placer.

He had just caught a glimpse of Lin Chen in his peripheral vision, who hadn’t even started properly yet.

”Psh, this loser dares to challenge me,” Wang Wenliang scoffed disdainfully.

With less than five meters to the finish line, he even started to spread his arms to celebrate.

But just then, a gust of wind swept past him.

Someone’s figure had overtaken him and reached the finish line first.

”How, how is this possible!” Wang Wenliang stared in disbelief at the figure crossing the line.

It was him, impossible, absolutely impossible.

At the start, Lin Chen was still tying his shoelaces while he had already gained at least a twenty-meter lead, how could he possibly catch me so quickly.

At this moment, the stands erupted into uproar.

Did I see that right just now, how did that guy run so fast?

His speed must have broken the world record!

Holy cow, this is the real superman!

Lin Chen crossed the finish line, glanced at the second placer Wang Wenliang with a baffled face, and gave a faint smile.

”Now you know what the speed of wind is,” he said.

Wang Wenliang stared at Lin Chen with a bizarre expression. ”Impossible, how could I lose to you.”

Lin Chen smiled faintly, ”You run as slow as a turtle, it’s no wonder you lost.”

Just then, a referee announced in shock that Lin Chen had won first place with a time of 9.85 seconds.

”9.85 seconds?” Wang Wenliang’s pupils constricted.

My god, this guy actually broke the Asian record, wait, he was tying his shoelaces at the start which wasted quite a bit of time, if you add that time back, he’s broken the world record!

Wang Wenliang was completely dumbfounded, he suddenly remembered this guy wasn’t even wearing running shoes but just a pair of casual shoes.

Is this a dream?

Wang Wenliang pinched himself hard; the sharp pain made him grimace.

Holy moly, Lin Chen actually broke the Asian record!

What the heck, if he hadn’t tied his shoelaces, he would have broken the world record,

True masters reveal themselves unexpectedly!

Just a moment ago, the spectating stands that were filled with laughter now resonated with sounds of amazement.

Even as Lin Chen waved continuously, lots of girls let out shrill screams.

Those who were fans of Wang Wenliang just a moment ago turned into hardcore fans of Lin Chen instantly.

When the second event, the long jump, started, Lin Chen’s cheering squad was already taking shape.

”Lin Chen, Lin Chen, I Love You, just like mice love rice,” cheers filled the stands.

The second event was the long jump, and Wang Yuanxu was the record holder for the long jump in Capital City. He was Wang Wenliang’s older brother.

”Yuanxu, be careful with Lin Chen, this guy is a bit peculiar,” Wang Wenliang nervously cautioned.

”Don’t worry, he might run fast, but he might not jump far. There won’t be any surprises in this event,” Wang Yuanxu said confidently.

Wang Yuanxu’s recent form was excellent, he had even broken the Asian record, and each athlete in sports competitions has their specialties, for example, Wang Wenliang, although he is the hundred-meter champion, he is way behind Wang Yuanxu in long jump.

Although Lin Chen had broken the Asian record in the hundred meters, when it came to long jump, Wang Yuanxu was very confident, he was the true king of the entire field.

Wang Wenliang also nodded. Since Lin Chen was so strong in the 100 meters, it couldn’t be possible that he was also amazing at the long jump, right?

The long jump competition finally began. Wang Yuanxu glanced at Lin Chen and smiled faintly, ”You just broke the Asian record for the 100 meters, which I admire. However, dreaming of defeating me and winning the long jump championship is simply a daydream.”

”Is that so?” Lin Chen smiled lightly without committing to an answer.

With Lin Chen breaking the 100-meter record, he had almost become the focus of the entire stadium. With Lin Chen participating in the long jump, all eyes were on this area.

The competition officially started, with several athletes achieving very ordinary results.

Wang Yuanxu stood at the running line, and his bio was broadcast over the loudspeakers.

Wang Yuanxu, a top-tier athlete of China, had previously jumped 8.56 meters at the World Championships in M country, breaking the 40-year-old national record and the 20-year-old Asian record, just 1 centimeter shy of the world record.

Hearing Wang Yuanxu’s introduction, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Wang Yuanxu waved at the audience with a proud look on his face.

Listening to Wang Yuanxu’s bio, Lin Chen genuinely admired him. However, admiration aside, he still had to outdo him. After all, he still wanted to kiss Tao Yifei’s cheeks!

Amidst the cheering crowd, Wang Yuanxu ran forward, one step, two steps, three steps and jumped.

Teng, Wang Yuanxu soared through the air.

8.57 meters, oh my god, he actually tied the world record!

Excitement blared through the loudspeakers.

The entire venue erupted, long jump had always been China’s weak spot, but today Wang Yuanxu had managed to tie the world record, an honor for Capital City University and a greater honor for the Chinese people.

For a moment, camera flashes flickered relentlessly.

Nobody expected that a university sports event would break Asian records back to back, and this time Wang Yuanxu had even tied the world record.

”Way to go, Wang Yuanxu.”

”He truly brings honor to us Chinese.”

Loud applause erupted from the stands.

With a proud look, Wang Yuanxu waved to the audience, radiating a kingly demeanor.

After greeting the audience, Wang Yuanxu snorted coldly and made a disdainful gesture towards Lin Chen.

He had hoped to see shock or panic in Lin Chen’s eyes, but unexpectedly, Lin Chen seemed indifferent to the achievement, his gaze even slightly scornful.

Finally, it was Lin Chen’s turn. The entire venue suddenly quieted down.

”Referee, can I jump without a run-up?” Lin Chen suddenly asked before his jump.

”Without a run-up?” The referee was stunned.

Having been a long jump referee for so many years, this was the first time he had heard such an absurd question.

”Of course, but the results probably won’t be very good,” the referee said lightly.

”Hmm, no problem,” Lin Chen said, then stood directly at the take-off line.

”What is that guy doing? Is he really going to jump from a standstill?”

”Oh my, he’s jumping without a run-up. How confident can this guy be?”

”This isn’t confidence. He must have seen Wang Yuanxu’s result and knows he has no chance. He’s just breaking the pot now.”

There were bursts of murmurs in the stands, most people simply shaking their heads at Lin Chen’s seemingly suicidal move.

A cold smirk crossed Wang Yuanxu’s lips; jumping without a run-up and trying to surpass his result was simply impossible.

Lin Chen stood at the take-off line, looked at the spot where Wang Yuanxu had just landed, and asked the referee beside him, ”If I go farther than that, I’ll break the world record, right?”

The referee felt like laughing and crying at the same time, to jump without a run-up and still think about breaking the world record was truly delusional.

”Of course, but that’s almost impossible,” the referee said with a mocking smile.

Lin Chen nodded and leaped into the air.

How could this be!

Watching the spot where Lin Chen landed, the referee’s mouth could have fit a duck egg, instantly dumbfounded.
