Within the classroom,

When the students saw Zhou Chen being personally summoned by Lu Guoliang and leaving the classroom again, they were very curious and it sparked quite a bit of discussion.

Some have boldly speculated that Zhou Chen may be related to Lu Guoliang.

Some people are saying that Zhou Chen might transfer to another class.

There are all sorts of guesses.

Li Kaile, Zhou Chen's deskmate and a big fan, heard this nonsense and stopped hiding it, revealing that Zhou Chen had joined the school team and become a sports student.

Li Kaile asked Zhou Chen for his opinion on this matter.

Zhou Chen didn't care. After all, it wasn't a secret. He had already said it. He hadn't told Li Kaile to say it before because he didn't want people to talk about it and become the focus of attention.

But since I've already become a sports student, it's impossible to avoid being talked about, so I might as well be more proactive and outgoing.

"He made the school team? Really? Li Kaile, you're not kidding us, are you?"

"Getting into the school team isn't easy; it requires talent."

Faced with the shocked, incredulous, confused, and skeptical looks of his classmates, Li Kaile said in an extremely firm tone: "It's true. You don't know how good Zhou Chen is at basketball. It's normal for Teacher Lu to value him. Moreover, Teacher Wu has agreed. You'll soon find out if it's true or not."

Li Kaile already admired Zhou Chen a lot, and after witnessing Zhou Chen's basketball skills yesterday, he admired him even more.

He has impeccable character, is good at business, excels in his studies, and is even a surprisingly good basketball player.

There's absolutely no other like it in the entire school.

As Zhou Chen's deskmate, Li Kaile now feels proud to be associated with him.

Soon, Wu Yingjie arrived at the classroom. After being questioned by a curious classmate, Wu Yingjie confirmed the matter, and the whole class finally believed it.

at the same time,

On the playground behind the teaching building,

Lu Guoliang introduced Zhou Chen to his team members.

Zhou Chen also gave a brief self-introduction, officially becoming a member of the team.

"Zhou Chen, next, I will give you a test to examine your athletic talents in various aspects. Based on the test data, we will strengthen your subsequent development in a focused manner."

Lu Guoliang explained.

Zhou Chen nodded and did not refuse. He was not interested in joining the school team at first, but since he had promised Wu Yingjie, he wanted to do his best.

Moreover, he is quite interested in his own physical fitness parameters.

He hadn't noticed this before, but after playing basketball yesterday, he found that his body seemed to have undergone some unusual changes, and his physical fitness seemed to have improved.

When Zhou Chen was about to undergo a test, all the other members of the school team gathered around to watch, wanting to know what kind of strength this unexpected newcomer, Zhou Chen, possessed that made Lu Guoliang suddenly pull him into the team.

"Zhou Chen, the first test is the 100-meter dash. You should warm up first."

Lu Guoliang knew that Zhou Chen was good at basketball, but tests should always be comprehensive, so he would start with the basics.

Zhou Chen nodded, stood on the track, and stretched his muscles.

He paid no attention to the gazes of the school team members. He didn't know what time he could achieve in the 100 meters, as he had never tried before.

After a short while of casual exercise, Zhou Chen, under Lu Guoliang's guidance, took his starting stance and, with a command, dashed off instantly.

Swish...

Zhou Chen was like a gust of wind; the school team members, who had originally planned to watch the show, were all stunned by what they saw.

Even Lu Guoliang was stunned for a long time.

Zhou Chen reached the finish line, and after an unknown amount of time, he realized he hadn't pressed the stopwatch, so he quickly pressed it to stop.

The time displayed above is 12.36 seconds!

This time made Lu Guoliang's heart beat faster. He did a casual test and Zhou Chen actually ran a time of 12.36 seconds.

Although he knew Zhou Chen was fast when he saw him transform into a man as swift as the wind, he didn't expect him to be this fast.

Most importantly, even at that moment, his reaction was a beat too slow. If he had pressed the pause button immediately, his score would have been even better.

100 meters in 12 seconds, wow...

Lu Guoliang knew he had struck gold.

If Zhou Chen could achieve such results without any training, how much would he improve after training, wearing suitable running shoes, learning running rhythm, mastering breathing techniques, etc.?

Lu Guoliang's breathing quickened a bit, because he himself couldn't imagine it. He only knew one thing: if Zhou Chen participated in the competition, he would definitely make a name for himself and become a dark horse.

"Teacher Lu, did I pass?"

Zhou Chen approached Lu Guoliang, who was lost in thought, and asked him a question.

"Ah... qualified... passed."

Lu Guoliang smiled and nodded. It was more than just qualified; it was extremely qualified. Many professional athletes couldn't even match Zhou Chen's time.

"Wow, 12.36 seconds, that's so fast!"

Just then, a member of the school team secretly glanced at the stopwatch in Lu Guoliang's hand, and was immediately dumbfounded, letting out a gasp.

What!

When they heard that Zhou Chen had just taken a little over 12 seconds, all the members of the school team were shocked.

If some people were initially dissatisfied with Zhou Chen, a newcomer, and thought that he might have gotten in through connections, their dissatisfaction and hostility disappeared after hearing his 100-meter time, leaving only admiration.

Because every member of the school team knows how incredible it is to achieve this result; even among them, very few can do it.

The scariest thing is that the shoes Zhou Chen was wearing weren't running shoes at all.

Yet they still managed to achieve such a result.

That's incredible!

At this moment, every member of the school team finally understood why Lu Guoliang had allowed Zhou Chen, a student who was much older than them and still in his senior year of high school, to join the team.

It's simply because Zhou Chen's talent is too terrifying.

At this moment, it wasn't just the school team members who were shocked; even Zhou Chen himself was incredulous upon hearing that he had run a time of just over 12 seconds.

How could he run so fast?

If he works a little harder, he could break the world record.

Even if Zhou Chen didn't pay much attention to sports in his previous life, he knew how impressive a 12-second time was.

It turns out he was a sports prodigy.

"Xiao Chen, how about we test the long jump next?"

Lu Guoliang's voice interrupted Zhou Chen's thoughts, even changing his form of address. Zhou Chen was somewhat frightened by Lu Guoliang's eager gaze, which seemed to gleam as if he were looking at hundreds of tons of gold.

I know I have good talent.

But Mr. Lu, could you please be a little more reserved? This is making me a little scared.

"Ahem...Teacher Lu, I have no objection."

Zhou Chen coughed, indicating that the next project test could proceed immediately.
