My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 42 I'm Prodigy!

Zhang Song's eyelids twitched, and he realized that Yuan Qiang's attitude was clearly suspicious... Soon, he belatedly felt a chill run down his spine.

Really? It can't be, there must be a problem, right?

Previously, Zhang Song was too excited and overlooked many things, and did not let Chu Zhu undergo rigorous testing.

"It's nothing!" Guo Jun knew Zhang Song; after all, they were former colleagues. He clearly sensed Zhang Song's emotions and reassured him, "Even if he took those banned drugs, being able to achieve that result... it shows he has a lot of potential!"

Chu Zhu had no objection.

After a while.

School sports center.

"...Nine seconds and sixty-one seconds, what does that mean?"

Yuan Qiang stared blankly at the numbers on the stopwatch.

He rubbed his eyes, checked the stopwatch again to make sure it was still showing the same number, then looked at Chu Zhu in the distance, dressed in ordinary clothes and shoes, lazily stretching. He swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Um... Coach Guo, how about you over there?"

"It's...it's also nine and a half seconds!" Guo Jun's voice trembled slightly. Both of them had the same time, so there was no way it could be wrong!

"I told you long ago, Chu Zhu's talent... Huh?!" Zhang Song's relaxed expression instantly froze. He subconsciously picked at his ear, unable to believe the number he heard, and let out a sharp, piercing sound, "No, how much did you say???"

These numbers... you guys really dare to say that!

But even if you dare to say it, he wouldn't dare to believe it.

The world record is 9.58 seconds. You're telling me that Chu Zhu, wearing such ordinary clothes and ordinary shoes, ran wildly with such an improper posture...

His performance was incredibly close to Usain Bolt's record?!
The Chinese record is 9.83 seconds! This result completely blows away the national record.

"Um, Principal Li..." Yuan Qiang stammered, "Did your school's playground have to be built shoddy... I mean, there was a mistake in the length design during construction!"

Li Quanyuan: "..."

What are you saying?

"He must have taken medication... But even if he did, judging from this situation, he could at least break a national record without medication!" Guo Jun's legs trembled, his brain racing at that moment. Then, he glared angrily at Zhang Song.

Idiot! With that kind of speed... why didn't you tell the provincial sports bureau first? Go straight to the State General Administration of Sport...

They only received the information after inquiring with the State Sports General Administration!

Traitor! You damned traitor.

Guo Jun was calm before because he simply didn't believe it. But now...

Zhang Song's lips twitched. He wasn't unaware of Guo Jun's meaning, but the problem was, he hadn't even had a chance to take advantage of the situation back then, let alone have the principal supervising him... What could he do?
"Is it over?" Chu Zhu jogged back.

"Of course!" Yuan Qiang's attitude had completely changed, his face beaming with smiles. His previous suspicion that Chu Zhu was taking drugs was no longer important! After all, this statistic meant she was running fast even with medication. A championship was within reach!

He looked Chu Zhu up and down, becoming more and more satisfied with her. "Wait a minute." Yuan Qiang suddenly sensed something was wrong and cautiously examined Chu Zhu. "You... how come you're not tired at all?"

Chu Zhu: "?"

Guo Jun, belatedly realizing what was happening: "!!!"

Zhang Song, realizing what was happening, was speechless.

Others at the scene: "?!?!"

"Don't tell me you haven't used your full strength yet!" Yuan Qiang broke out in a cold sweat.

Chu Zhu inwardly groaned. Coach Yuan Qiang was right…

The reason he didn't give it his all was that he foresaw the dissection that would follow his outburst in the future, and he learned his lesson.

But now it seems that, perhaps, maybe... the results he achieved without much effort were also beyond imagination.

"How did you train like that!" Yuan Qiang's mind went blank. He subconsciously grabbed Chu Zhu's hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. He gripped her hand tightly, as if afraid that Chu Zhu would escape, or as if afraid that all of this was just a dream.

"Maybe I'm just exceptionally talented!" Chu Zhu chuckled, then casually asked, "By the way, what were the specific results of the run..."

Upon hearing the result, Chu Zhu's heart tightened. Well… no wonder they acted that way! Damn it, I used too much force…

Wait a minute, Chu Zhu seemed to understand something. He realized that, clearly, the version of himself recorded by Nuwa No. 17 in the dream was the version of himself who had not re-entered the dream world and had continued to live in the real world...

In other words, the Chu Zhu who broke the final record is the Chu Zhu who hasn't undergone any further enhancements yet—in other words, theoretically, Chu Zhu can still achieve this record now...

If he receives scientific training, and his physique, movements, clothing, and shoes are all in the most suitable state for running, he should be able to run a record that is very close to a whole eight seconds!
"Oh no!" Chu Zhu was genuinely shocked. She had initially thought the Chu Zhu in the dream world's timeline was courting disaster, but now it seemed...

Thankfully, there's still room for improvement! Although there are some problems now, none of them are too fatal.

"Well, actually, I was in better shape than ever before this time! So maybe I was a little too fast? I can't usually run this fast!" Chu Zhu first added.

"..." Yuan Qiang looked at Chu Zhu, who hadn't even broken a sweat, and hesitated to speak.

"Well! Since things have come to this," Chu Zhu also felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched. He quickly made a decision, glanced at his phone, and realized that it was almost dinner time. He said directly, "I have something urgent to attend to tonight! How about we part ways?"

"No... what could be more urgent than this!" Yuan Qiang said urgently, his tone very sincere. "Now, immediately, right now, come back to Yanjing with us! Then we'll conduct the most scientific and reasonable special training, and you'll definitely become the most dazzling star at the next Olympics! Don't worry about your studies, the principal is right here, just have him give you a note on the spot."

"There's no need!" Chu Zhu reached out her other hand and gently pried Yuan Qiang's hand away. No matter how hard Yuan Qiang tried, it was to no avail.

"You can set any goal you like, and then test me every so often... say every six months or a year! If I meet your standards, then let me continue my studies! I really enjoy reading. Anyway, all I need to do is break the Olympic record and become a champion, right?"

Chu Zhu didn't have that much free time, why would he insist on going all the way to Yanjing? He was even afraid that if he trained too hard and ran too fast, he'd end up on the dissection table...

Furthermore, instead of thinking about how to increase speed through training, it would be better to think about being exposed to nuclear radiation in the real world and then evolving again—isn't that much more reliable than arduous training?

By then, even breaking five seconds wouldn't be impossible...
