Dominate Nine-Year Compulsory Education

Before long, all the contestants had finished checking in.

A PE teacher hosting the event began organizing the classes for the opening ceremony.

Meanwhile, the contestants all warmed up in the middle of the sports field.

"Xiao Chen, I bought you an energy drink. I heard it can improve your performance. Want some?"

Shen Qinghan walked over to Lin Zichen as he stretched his ligaments and held out a can with a cow printed on it.

Lin Zichen figured it would not do much, and he did not need outside help to improve his performance anyway. But since Shen Qinghan had bought it, he took it without a second thought and drank some.

"Xiao Chen, how does it taste?"

"It seems to help a little. I feel more alert."

Lin Zichen casually told a well-intentioned lie.

Shen Qinghan smiled when she heard that, then gave Lin Zichen an encouraging gesture. "Xiao Chen, I'll be waiting for you to bring back three gold medals so we can take a picture together."

"I will," Lin Zichen said confidently.

The boy from the Martial Arts Team nearby saw how sure Lin Zichen was that he would win three gold medals and could not help laughing to himself.

About half an hour later,

the school sports meet's opening ceremony finally ended.

The competition officially began!

Of the three events Lin Zichen had entered, the shot put came first, followed by the high jump, with the 100-meter sprint as the finale.

"Go get first place, Junior Zichen! I believe in you!"

As Lin Zichen waited in line for the shot put, a girl in the crowd to his left waved at him.

He smiled at her in response. It was just a polite acknowledgment, nothing more.

Seeing this, the boy from the Martial Arts Team ahead of Lin Zichen felt miserable. He kept wishing the competition would hurry up and start.

The girl cheering Lin Zichen on was the one he had a crush on.

Soon, it was the Martial Arts Team boy's turn to throw.

He picked up the shot put and spun sharply around, hurling it from his hand.

A moment later, the judge's voice rang out from ahead.

"15.67 meters!"

The spectators around them let out a chorus of astonished "wow"s. The result had shocked them.

Lin Zichen, waiting behind him, raised an eyebrow. He had not expected a mere middle schooler to throw the shot put so far.

A distance of 15.67 meters would have qualified someone as a national-level athlete in his previous life.

In the end, the world was simply different.

The people in this world were far stronger than those in his previous life.

As he stepped away from the throwing line, the Martial Arts Team boy glanced back at Lin Zichen with a smug look.

Lin Zichen was baffled. He could not understand why the boy had turned around to look at him with such a smug expression for no reason.

"Xiao Chen, go win that gold medal!"

Not far away, Shen Qinghan clenched her rosy fist and cheered him on.

Lin Zichen smiled and returned the gesture, then walked to the throwing line, picked up the shot put, and casually pushed it forward.

The shot put shot through the air like a shell launched from a cannon, flying an incredible distance in an instant!

The PE teacher recording the results stared in astonishment.

It took him a moment to snap out of it. Then he hurried over with a tape measure to see how far it had gone.

"20.12 meters!"

As soon as the number was called out, a wave of astonished cries erupted around them.

Everyone looked utterly shocked.

The Martial Arts Team boy was especially stunned. His mouth hung open wide enough to swallow the shot put, his face full of disbelief.

How could this be?!

How could he throw it 20 meters?!

He was only a first-year middle school student!

I must be dreaming!

Thinking this, the boy from the Martial Arts Team raised his hand and slapped himself across the face. It hurt. This was real!

Everyone nearby stared at him in confusion, unable to understand why he had suddenly slapped himself.

"Xiao Chen, you're amazing!"

Shen Qinghan hurried over to Lin Zichen, her phone in hand with several photos she had just snapped.

Lin Zichen patted her on the head and smiled. "I've already won one gold medal. Two more to go. Just wait until the sports meet is over, and you can take all the pictures you want."

Over the next few hours,

Lin Zichen competed in the running high jump and the 100-meter sprint.

As expected, he won first place in both without the slightest suspense, completing his set of three gold medals.

The Martial Arts Team boy who had been so confident he could crush him ended up with the worst kind of runner-up finish, winning three silver medals. He looked completely dazed, questioning everything he knew about life.

"Junior Zichen, you're amazing! You won gold in everything. I really admire you!"

"Junior Zichen, I bought you some water!"

"Junior Zichen! Drink mine! Mine's a sports recovery drink. It'll help you get your strength back faster!"

As soon as Lin Zichen came down from the field's podium after collecting his three gold medals, several enthusiastic upperclasswomen swarmed around him.

They crowded him so tightly he could not move.

Shen Qinghan stood outside the crowd with a bottle of sports recovery drink she had just bought, unable to hand it to him.

Lin Zichen saw her and had no choice but to tell the upperclasswomen surrounding him, "Thanks for the kind offer, but I brought my own water. I'll just drink that."

Then he squeezed his way out through the crowd, walked up to Shen Qinghan, took the drink she offered, unscrewed the cap, and drank deeply.

"Xiao Chen, you're so popular at school. Even the third-year girls have become your little fans," Shen Qinghan said enviously.

Lin Zichen screwed the cap back on and smiled. "But I don't need that many little fans. Having you as one is enough."

"I'm not your little fan. I'm your childhood friend, okay?" Shen Qinghan pouted her rosy lips in protest.

Lin Zichen just smiled and said nothing.

All the girls around them looked envious.

They were so jealous of Shen Qinghan.

She was an ordinary girl, yet she had a childhood friend who was handsome, smart, and amazing at sports. It looked just like a fairy tale about Cinderella and a prince.

Shen Qinghan felt the envious gazes of the girls around her, and her heart swelled with happiness. Having such an enviable childhood friend as Lin Zichen made her feel as if she had the whole world.

After they finished their drinks,

they took lots of lovely photos together.

Once they were satisfied with the pictures, they walked back to the classroom together, gathered their things, and rode their bikes home.

Since home was a little far from school, Zhang Wanxin had bought Lin Zichen a bicycle especially so he could take Shen Qinghan to and from school.

On the way back to the classroom,

Lin Zichen suddenly remembered something. He focused his thoughts and turned his consciousness toward the Void.

Then, at last, he saw the long-awaited text.
