Top-Tier Superpower Student

"You're really playing your cards well, aren't you? If you lose, all you have to do is treat us to a meal. But if our Mengting loses, she has to be your girlfriend? You're thinking too highly of yourself!"

Sitting next to Guo Rong and munching on snacks, Zhang Guo'er immediately chimed in upon hearing the bet between the two.

"Exactly, you're dreaming. That bet is way too unfair for me."

Liu Mei thought about it and also felt it was unfair.

"Then what kind of bet do you want to make?"

Liu Mei didn't believe she would lose at all—how could Lin Tian, a mere stick in the mud, compare with a hunk like Ning Cheng?

Just a meal was clearly not enough. Remembering a certain LV bag she had seen while out shopping with her friends, which cost over twenty thousand, she immediately had an idea.

"If you lose, you buy me an LV bag."

"Sure, no problem. It's a deal then."

Feng Jiabao wasn't short of money, and more importantly, he had full confidence in Lin Tian.

Guo Rong carefully tugged at Feng Jiabao.

"Boss, I've heard those LV bags are pretty expensive. What if Lin Tian..."

"Why are you always boosting others' morale? Lin Tian is sure to win."

Several girls, however, thought Feng Jiabao was just being stubborn with his words. There was no way Lin Tian could outswim Ning Cheng.

At the edge of the pool, Ning Cheng heard the thunderous cheers coming from the swimming hall. He became even more proud. He saw Bu Mengting, but she wasn't shouting his name, and her eyes weren't on him either. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Ning Cheng followed Bu Mengting's gaze and found Lin Tian's position.

Looking at Lin Tian, Ning Cheng's face showed a hint of arrogance:

"I forgot to tell you Lin Tian, but before I started university, I trained with the national swimming team."

"So you were kicked out, huh."

Ning Cheng intended to intimidate with his revelation, but Lin Tian's response left him struggling to save face.

It took Ning Cheng a while to squeeze out a retort.

"Being strong with words is useless."

This time, Lin Tian didn't bother to talk, instead he simply gave Ning Cheng the middle finger.

"Take your positions, swimmers, get ready!"

The referee loudly reminded the athletes to get ready, and those who had trained assumed a forward-leaning posture.

This would shift their center of gravity forward, so when they dived into the water, they could achieve a longer glide.

Only Lin Tian stood still, hands crossed over his shoulders, not moving a muscle.

"Country bumpkin, I'm going to leave you half a lap behind."@@novelbin@@

Seeing Lin Tian like this, Ning Cheng was convinced Lin Tian had no knowledge of swimming. This time, he was determined to beat Lin Tian in front of Mengting, to show her that he was her true prince.

"Whistle—" The whistle blew.

Ning Cheng pushed off strongly, his body soaring into the air, like a javelin plunging into the water. Leveraging the diving momentum, his body undulated a few times like a dolphin, shooting forward like a flying fish.

His form was perfect, comparable even to world-class swimming champions.

However, at this moment, most of the attention in the swimming hall was not on Ning Cheng, but on Lin Tian.

Lin Tian's entry into the water was shockingly outrageous. He, too, dived like a javelin, but he did so standing straight up, jumping stiffly into the water.

A colossal splash rose more than a meter high.

"Hahaha, Lin Tian is too funny, right? He doesn't even know how to swim!"

Liu Mei couldn't help but laugh hysterically at Lin Tian's exaggerated dive.

Feng Jiabao's face darkened. So Lin Tian really couldn't swim? Now they were in trouble.

"Hey, look, Lin Tian's actually using a doggy paddle. Oh my, can he really swim faster than Ning Cheng with that? Feng, thanks for buying me a bag. That's so kind of you."

Seeing Lin Tian resort to the doggy paddle after diving, Liu Mei felt she was sure to win.

Feng Jiabao's face darkened even more. It wasn't the money that bothered him, but Lin Tian's lack of spirit.

"Wow, boss, look!"

At that moment, the usually snack-loving Guo Rong suddenly dropped his food and stared at the pool with wide eyes.

Feng Jiabao followed his gaze and saw a huge splash moving at an incredible speed toward the turning point. If not for the human head in front of the splash, everyone would have thought a speedboat was racing by.

Indeed, Lin Tian knew only the doggy paddle, but his body was beyond comparison to ordinary people. Possessing the Ox Power Technique, his legs worked like propellers, creating huge splashes for extraordinary propulsion.

He quickly caught up with Ning Cheng and surpassed him.

Ning Cheng was swimming freestyle, just a dozen meters from the turning point. He thought that if he maintained his pace, he could reach the finish line before Lin Tian even made it to the turnaround.

Suddenly, a huge splash moved rapidly across his vision, and then he saw Lin Tian awkwardly reach the turnaround point, flipping over and giving him a smug smile.

"How is this possible? He's swimming faster than me with a doggy paddle?"

While Ning Cheng was dumbstruck, Lin Tian had already completed the turn and, dog paddle engaged, shot off like a speedboat toward the finish line.

"Lin Tian! Lin Tian!"

A girl suddenly started shouting loudly—it was Bu Mengting. Earlier, when she had seen Lin Tian's entry into the water, she too was worried for him, feeling ashamed amidst the surrounding mockery.

At this moment, seeing Lin Tian actually take the lead with a doggy paddle, his swimming style akin to a speedboat, stunned everyone in the pool. Bu Mengting immediately jumped up excitedly and shouted Lin Tian's name out loud.

"Lin Tian! Lin Tian!"

Hearing Bu Mengting's voice, Feng Jiabao finally snapped out of the shock from Lin Tian's exaggerated swimming method and started to shout along with Bu Mengting.

Soon enough, more and more people began to shout Lin Tian's name loudly.

Louder than the cheers for Ning Cheng before.

Without any suspense, Lin Tian easily touched the wall first.

Meanwhile, Ning Cheng, startled by Lin Tian, even lost his second-place position and came in third.

When Ning Cheng climbed out of the pool, Lin Tian pointed his index finger at him and gently wagged it a few times.

"You've got a long way to go!"

Ning Cheng almost slipped back into the pool in frustration.

He wanted to say something, but recalling Lin Tian's exaggerated speed, all he tasted in his mouth was bitterness, unable to utter a word.

"Lin Tian! Lin Tian! Lin Tian!"

The competition was over, but the cheering in the pool grew louder and louder.

Lin Tian spread his arms and waved non-stop, for at this moment, Lin Tian was the hero, Lin Tian was the star!

Bu Mengting ran straight over and threw herself into Lin Tian's arms, without any hesitation.

"Lin Tian, you're really so cool."

"Mengting, my little wife, since I'm this cool, shouldn't you give me some sort of reward?"

Bu Mengting's face turned a slight red, and suddenly she pecked Lin Tian on the face before running away.

In the stands, Liu Mei sighed softly watching Lin Tian easily win first place with his doggy paddle. She felt uneasy. As everyone shouted for Lin Tian, she quietly stood up, intending to make a run for it.

"Liu Mei? Where are you going?"

Feng Jiabao immediately saw through Liu Mei's intention and blocked her way.

"I... my stomach hurts, I need to go to the restroom."

"Oh, then you should go."

Feng Jiabao graciously stepped aside.

"Boss, why did you let her go? She obviously lost the bet and is trying to escape."

Guo Rong, munching on snacks, watched Liu Mei's frantic escape and gave a reminder.

"If she runs, she runs. I'm not interested in a woman like that. Come on, let's go welcome our swimming champion."

"Lin Tian, congratulations on becoming the champion of the school's selection trials."

The sports director, Shi Tie, was in charge of this swimming selection. He used to be a swimmer himself but lacked the talent to achieve good results and ended up teaching at Wu'an University.

"Thank you, Teacher."

"By the way, you know the purpose of these selection trials, right? I hope you can help the school achieve a good ranking in the Wu'an City swimming competition."

When Lin Tian first got into the water, Shi Tie took notice and at first thought Lin Tian was shaming Wu'an University. But after Lin Tian showed his incredible speed, Shi Tie immediately changed his mind.

If Lin Tian could win the Wu'an City swimming competition, it would reflect well on him as the sports director.

"The Wu'an City swimming competition? Is it a lot of trouble?"

Lin Tian then remembered the University had organized selection trials to participate in the Wu'an City Collegiate Swimming Competition.

He was supposed to help Chen Yixuan catch Luo Li, and if he participated in the swimming competition, he probably wouldn't have the time to deal with Luo Li.

"No trouble, no trouble at all. With your speed, you don't even need to train. You just have to show up for the event."

Shi Tie, who became a sports director without any swim achievements, obviously had some capabilities. He immediately sensed that Lin Tian was the type of person who disliked inconveniences. Usually, the selected students were supposed to undergo organized training.

But Shi Tie directly made an exception for Lin Tian, one that required him to only show up for the competition.

"What trouble? Lin Tian, you must participate in the competition."

At this time, Bu Mengting appeared, having also won the first place in the women's group of the selection trial.

Sensing Lin Tian's reluctance to participate in the swimming competition, Bu Mengting was naturally unwilling to let it go.

"Okay then, I'll participate. But just to be clear, I don't have time to train."

"No problem."

Shi Tie assured Lin Tian, patting his chest.

"Lin Tian, are you really that busy that you don't even have time for training? I get it, are you going to see that policewoman?"

"I've promised someone to help catch a thief. That thief is really bad, and if we don't catch him soon, he'll cause great harm to society."

Lin Tian explained to Bu Mengting, who didn't continue to press the issue and let out a few humphs to let it slide.

"Lin Tian, you sly dog! Nicely done!"

Feng Jiabao arrived with a few people from the dormitory. Normally, two dormitories should have six people, but only five had come.

"Hey? Where's Meimei?"

Noticing that one of her dorm mates was missing, Bu Mengting asked.
