Finally, when they were about to reach the starting point, which was a total of 100 meters, Chen Guang caught up with the last person in Dong Tao's team of three!
This person did not even consider that he might be caught up. While he was taking a breath, he saw Chen Guang pass by him from the corner of his eye and dash forward.
He shook his head, thinking that he was hallucinating. After taking a closer look, he finally believed the terrifying truth. He was really caught up!
F * ck! Are you kidding me?! How is this possible?! I'm a professional!
Unfortunately, for swimmers, the pool was both gentle and cruel.
Just because you don't believe in tears, it won't make you faster.
He could only watch as Chen Guang caught up with him bit by bit. Gradually, the two of them were parallel to each other!
Then, he was pulled away by an arm's length!
It's over! I'm half a body's length behind!
Oh my god!
At that moment, the 400-meter freestyle race had already passed 100 meters.
Chen Guang was still maintaining his high speed. From the start of his sprint until now, his speed had not decreased at all.
When he overtook the third person, his target took another step forward, heading towards the second place.
Dong Tao was still slightly ahead. Putting his character aside, he was able to obtain the athlete certification as a semi-professional swimmer, which meant that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
The certification required him to be able to swim the 400-meter freestyle race in 4 minutes and 4 seconds. There was no room for falsehood.
At that moment, Dong Tao was still ahead of the others. He was about two body lengths ahead of the second person, and three body lengths ahead of Chen Guang.
Dong Tao didn't care about what was happening behind him, because he knew that in this kind of competition, he didn't need to care about others at all. He just needed to do his usual training, swim at his own pace, and swim steadily to the 300m. Then, in the last two turns of the 100m, he could easily stabilize his time at around 4 minutes 20 seconds. Although this standard might not be considered much in an international or national competition, it was more than enough to dominate an intramural sports meet.
Even the other two teammates on the school team could only swim for four minutes and twenty seconds if they used all their strength.
Hmph! Swimming was a competition of strength. There were no random factors that could affect the outcome of the competition!
Up until now, the entire race had been under Dong Tao's control. He had not even used his full strength, and he was already two body lengths ahead of his teammate. Chen Guang, that kid, must be even further behind. If he said he would set him up for two laps, then he would do it!
Those who had not undergone systematic training would not be able to swim more than two hundred meters, let alone four hundred meters. They would be like a dead fish drifting.
What Dong Tao didn't know was that his second teammate wasn't feeling well at that moment!
He was on the third path, while Chen Guang was on the first. As soon as Chen Guang caught up, he sensed that something was wrong.
The fact that the three of them were placed in the same group in the preliminary round was enough to cause a sensation. If they were overtaken by an amateur, then wouldn't they become the laughing stock of the entire school? How would they be able to raise their heads in the future?
No! I'm going to sprint!
It wasn't just him. The third place that had been overtaken by Chen Guang no longer remembered his usual training rhythm. He clenched his teeth and began to exert his strength with all his might!
I'll let you be proud for a while longer. We've gone through professional training, and we swim tens of thousands of meters every day!
I don't believe it! No matter how strong your explosive strength is, there's no reason you can still persist in the second half of the race!
The head coach by the pool was also having a headache from the actions of these people. He had come here to see the true standard of these people. If they were like this in the first half of the race, they would definitely be exhausted in the second half of the race, and their results would definitely be worse than their usual results.
Even though the kid named Chen Guang was swimming very fast now, and he was also speeding up with the other two, once he finished the turn, the other two would naturally slow down as well.
What do you two think are going on in your heads?
Chen Guang hasn't gone through any training, so he doesn't know how to allocate his strength. You two have been professionally trained under me for two years, yet you're still acting like this. Aren't you embarrassing me?
The audience at the side of the pool didn't know what the head coach was thinking. They only saw that Chen Guang had not only overtaken the third place swimmer, but had also started to catch up with the second place swimmer.
What's more, as the three of them accelerated at the same time, the distance between them and Dong Tao, who was still conserving his strength, gradually shortened!
Unlike the others, Dong Tao was a celebrity among the school's swimming enthusiasts. He was a certified athlete, and if nothing went wrong, he would even enter the provincial team this year and become a well-known swimmer who would represent the provincial team in the National Games!
The waves from the pool were getting higher and higher, and gradually, the emotions of the audience were stirred up.
Cheers rose and fell crazily from the swimming pool, and gradually condensed into one, resounding throughout the entire swimming pool!
As Dong Tao calmly swung his arms, paddled, and swung his legs, he vaguely heard the voices from the outside world. He thought disdainfully, These people are really ignorant. I haven't even exerted my strength yet, why are you so excited?
Can people swim faster just by adding more strength?
Can Chen Guang counterattack?
Are you kidding me?
Wait a little longer, I'm almost 200 meters now. Wait for another 100 meters, then I'll accelerate again, and show you the strength of the national top swimmer!
Not far ahead was the pool wall. Dong Tao skillfully swung his hands at the same time and dove down. Just like the countless times he had turned around by stepping on the wall, he looked left and right leisurely in the water.
As usual, the other lanes were empty, and no one could turn around at the same time as him.
Alas, being invincible is always lonely!
Dong Tao felt a little proud. He had dominated the swimming world of Gokyo University for three whole years, and only when he went to the provincial team for training could he feel some pressure from the professional swimmers there.
Just as he was feeling proud of himself, a pair of hands suddenly appeared in the lane next to him, and then the whole body of the person was reflected in Dong Tao's eyes.
Dong Tao's pupils shrank. Did I see it wrong? What is this?
Could it be that I've already circled him twice?
Now that I think about it, it's already 200 meters, and I've already looped him for a full 100 meters?
Although it's a little unscientific, it's not completely impossible. I really didn't expect that kid to be so weak.
Sometimes, being overconfident is really a sad thing to hear.
That's right! Chen Guang had actually caught up to Dong Tao!
When Dong Tao completed this turn, Chen Guang had already put both his legs on the pool wall, exerted his strength, and shot out, closely catching up to Dong Tao's pace.
After Chen Guang, Dong Tao's two teammates, who were slightly weaker than him, followed closely behind. One in front, one behind, they kept up with Chen Guang.
Dong Tao was now only half a body's length ahead of Chen Guang!
Only then did he notice the situation of his other two teammates, and his heart trembled. Something is wrong!
What! The two of them also turned around at this time?
Don't tell me … Chen Guang has caught up!
Dong Tao was stunned at first, and even his slapping motion was half a beat slower.
