"Claude, go for it!"
"Claude, use more strength."
"Claude, didn't you eat last night?"
"Claude, did you use all your strength on women's bellies?"
The lifeguards were obviously on Claude's side. They were all cheering for him.
However, Claude's face turned red. He still couldn't move Chen Zhao's wrist.
Fali sneered at Claude. "Claude, is that all you've got? How dare you challenge my man?"
Hearing Fali's words, Claude exerted even more strength.
However, no matter how much strength he used, he still couldn't move Chen Zhao's arm.
Chen Zhao's strength gradually increased. Claude's expression turned pained.
Because Chen Zhao wasn't pressing down. Instead, he was squeezing his palm.
Claude felt like his palm was being clamped by a vise. He finally yelled, "I admit defeat! Let go, let go!"
Only then did Chen Zhao let go. Claude held his left hand and kept rubbing it.
He felt like Chen Zhao was going to crush his left hand.
"Chen, seriously, are you trying to arm-wrestle or pinch someone's wrist? That's too much."
Fali's words made Claude's face turn green and red. He was unwilling to lose to Chen Zhao and be humiliated by Fali.
"Arm-Wrestling is my weakness. Let's fight something else. Do you dare?"
"Compete in what?"
"Swimming."
"Sure. How about some bets?"
"Chen, I'll bet $100 on you," Fali said.
"I'll bet Claude, $50."
"Claude, $100."
"All done." Claude took out his wallet from the drawer. "I'll bet myself, $1,000."
"Me too." Chen Zhao also took out $1,000 and tossed it on the table.
"We'll go from here to the beach, swim to the buoy, and swim back. Let's see who gets here first."
"Okay."
Fali whispered into Chen Zhao's ear, "Be careful. Claude used to be a professional athlete. He even won a national competition. Don't be careless."
"I know." Chen Zhao turned and kissed Fali's lips. "This money is so easy. How about you encourage them to bet more?"
"You're so bad." Fali slapped him in annoyance.
Seeing the two flirting as if no one else was around, Claude was even more jealous.
As members of the lifeguard team, this kind of coastal sprint was a compulsory training course for them every day.
Claude's results were always among the best in the rescue team, second only to their captain, Robio.
Therefore, he didn't believe that the Asian in front of him could beat him.
Whether it was running or swimming, Asians never had an advantage.
Moreover, this was an event that he excelled in. Although his opponent was physically strong, he was still a layman.
The two of them went downstairs to the beach. When they were arm wrestling earlier, the female referee had played the role of giving orders again.
"Three, two, one! Begin. "
Both of them rushed out from the starting line, but in the blink of an eye, Chen Zhao was already one body length ahead of Claude. However, the starting line was only a few dozen meters away from the sea, so the difference wasn't that obvious.
But when Chen Zhao jumped into the sea, he jumped several meters away and widened the distance between them.
Claude followed closely behind, but in terms of explosiveness, he couldn't compare to Chen Zhao at all.
Chen Zhao's speed was too terrifying. He also dove into the water without showing his head at all. Only when he reached the buoy did he pop his head out and swim back.
The buoy was used to mark the depth of the water. It was around 200 meters.
Claude had only swum 150 meters.
Chen Zhao had already brushed past him. The lifeguards standing in the corridor were already silent.
No one cheered for Claude anymore. It wasn't that they didn't want to.
They just couldn't make a sound. The difference between Claude and Chen Zhao was too huge.
By the time Claude reached the buoy, Chen Zhao had already reached the shore.
Wasn't he twice as fast?
How come Claude's condition was so bad today?
Chen Zhao didn't hold back at all. He rushed to the finish line and hugged Fali. Then he spun around and Fali gave him a deep kiss.
Claude had already lost his desire at the end of the race. He returned to the finish line dejectedly.
"Claude, are you not feeling well?"
"How did you lose so much?"
"I'm a little uncomfortable," Claude said casually. But deep down, he knew that he had lost completely this time.
This was not a difference in state, but a difference in true strength.
He couldn't beat Chen Zhao in arm wrestling and completely lost in running and swimming. He no longer had the face to challenge Chen Zhao.
"You win."
Robio walked to Chen Zhao's side. He didn't know what had happened between Claude and Chen Zhao.
However, when the two of them were about to start the sprint swim, he just happened to come back.
With his eyesight, he could tell that they were competing.
It wasn't that Claude wasn't in a good condition. He had performed at a normal level today.
Chen Zhao could only blame himself for being too fast, whether it was sprinting on the beach or swimming in the sea.
The difference between the two was like the difference between a child and an adult.
"Chen, you traveled 200 meters in the sea in less than 50 seconds."
"It should be flowing downstream. The waves are receding."
Robio shook his head. "You were swimming against the current just now, and regardless of whether you were swimming with it or against the current, you were too fast. I've never seen anyone swim in the ocean for fifty seconds."
"You must have calculated wrongly," Chen Zhao said, unconcerned.
"How about we have a competition?" Robio said with a smile.
"There's no need." Chen Zhao competed with Claude purely to save face and slap Claude in the face.
He was so close to Robio. If he humiliated him in front of his teammates, it would hurt their relationship.
"Captain, are you competing with him? Let's. "
"Let's."
"Let's."
"Let's."
"Then what?"
"I can't swim as fast as you. How about we compete in diving?"
"Who can hold their breath longer?"
"No, it's bare-handed diving," Robio said.
The world record for this sport is 112 meters, with only a pair of goggles and nothing else.
Standing beside Chen Zhao, Fali said, "Chen, Robio is the 12th world record holder."
"How deep?"
"My best record is 72 meters, but I've only reached that depth once in my life," Robio said.
