Complete Victory, Crown Won

"I heard that Gao Fei from Shanhai No. 1 Middle School can run a hundred-meter dash in under nine seconds. That's absurd; he's only a middle schooler!"

"It's normal. His father is a Gene Fusionist. As the descendant of a Gene Fusionist, his physical fitness is bound to far exceed that of an ordinary person."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that first-year freshman from Shanhai High School doesn't stand a chance."

"What does that matter? He's only in his first year. Once he grows into his potential in a couple of years, Shanhai High School will be the undisputed number one..."

As soon as Gao Fei from Shanhai No. 1 Middle School appeared, the spectator stands erupted in immediate discussion about him.

Most were boasting, completely won over by his superior physical prowess.

As for Lin Zichen... almost no one held out any hope for him.

Even Zhang Wanxin and Lin Yansheng were pessimistic, feeling that their son was likely going to lose.

In the eyes of the couple, their son was a genius, but he was still within the realm of an ordinary person. Trying to contend with a monster who could run a nine-second hundred-meter dash was nearly impossible.

Despite these thoughts, Zhang Wanxin still called out to Lin Zichen as she always did: "Xiao Chen, do your best! As long as you give it your all, you can definitely win!"

Hearing this, Lin Yansheng and Shen Qinghan joined in, cheering for Lin Zichen as well.

On the martial arts stage.

Hearing the shouts and cheers from Shen Qinghan and his parents, Lin Zichen smiled and waved to them in response, just as he had done before.

Seeing this, Gao Fei from the opposite side said, "Junior from Shanhai High, you have such a great relationship with your family. It makes me envious."

"It's alright," Lin Zichen replied with a smile.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Gao Fei said with a jealous look, "Too bad, I can't stand seeing others with harmonious family relationships. For the upcoming duel, I suggest you prepare yourself mentally, because... I am going to unleash my most ferocious offensive against you!"

Lin Zichen was speechless. He had actually run into another middle school boy who didn't seem quite right in the head; it seemed Shanhai No. 1 Middle School was a breeding ground for "chuunibyou" teenagers.

"The duel is about to begin. Both of you, please take your positions," the referee said, looking at the two.

At this, both of them took their positions, ready for the duel to start.

Seeing this, the referee immediately raised his right hand and brought it down sharply: "The duel begins!"

Upon hearing the command, Gao Fei pushed off with his calves, instantly rushing in front of Lin Zichen and unleashing his ancestral martial art, the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist.

In an instant!

Two fists rained down on Lin Zichen with the density of a downpour!

They were fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Lin Zichen found the technique interesting, so he didn't rush to finish Gao Fei off. Instead, he chose to dodge the attacks with ease while observing and learning every move and stance of the fist technique.

"Gao Fei, what are you doing? I told you to focus on defense! Why are you attacking!"

The coach from Shanhai No. 1 Middle School, seeing his team member ignore his tactical arrangement, flew into a rage and shouted.

However, Gao Fei on the stage ignored him entirely, continuing to attack Lin Zichen with reckless abandon.

Defense?

A genius like him had no need for such turtle-like tactics!

Once he stepped onto the stage, he would always launch the most ferocious offensive against his opponent!

Either victory at the speed of light, or defeat at the speed of light!

He would never cower in a corner!

That was what Gao Fei had thought when he first launched his assault.

But as time passed and he realized he couldn't land a single hit on Lin Zichen, his mentality collapsed!

"What is going on?!"

"How can you dodge my attacks?!"

"This isn't scientific!!"

Gao Fei stopped attacking, looking at Lin Zichen with a look of existential doubt as he shouted the questions.

Lin Zichen didn't answer, only asking, "Do you have any other moves? Use them all."

"You...!"

Hearing Lin Zichen's words, Gao Fei turned bright red.

This was a blatant mockery!

Damn it!

He was so angry his face flushed, and he quickly charged at Lin Zichen again, throwing punches frantically!

Seeing that he was still using the same fist technique, Lin Zichen knew he had reached the end of his rope. Not wanting to waste any more time, he kicked Gao Fei off the stage, securing victory in the duel.

Gao Fei actually lost?

At this moment, the entire audience was stunned, never expecting the duel to end with such a result.

Soon, the arena erupted with a massive wave of incredulous gasps.

"Xiao Chen, you're amazing!!!"

"Honey, our son is incredible!"

"Zichen, you're a beast!"

"What is going on? What is the deal with that first-year freshman from Shanhai High School?!"

"This is fake, it has to be a rigged match!"

At this very moment, the entire stadium was filled with ear-splitting clamor.

Lin Zichen ignored these noises and quickly began his next duel.

The fourth duel, secured at light speed!

The fifth duel, secured at light speed!

In less than ten minutes, Lin Zichen defeated the remaining two contestants from Shanhai No. 1 Middle School, single-handedly overturning the entire team.

Then.

Over the next two days, he maintained the same momentum, single-handedly overturning the two schools he faced, successfully leading Shanhai High School to win the Eight-School League championship.

During this period, his four teammates didn't play a single match, winning by simply riding his coattails the entire time.

Perhaps for them, not getting to play in their final tournament was a bit of a regret.

But Lin Zichen didn't care about that; he only cared about the progress of his achievement tasks.

On the awards podium.

Lin Zichen held the championship trophy, taking photos one after another with his coach, teammates, family, childhood sweetheart, and even several passing spectators.

After sharing the joy of victory, he immediately looked into the void to check the progress of his achievement task.

[Total opponents eliminated: 16/1000]

He still needed to defeat 984 different opponents to complete this achievement regarding natural selection.

With such a large gap in progress, it certainly couldn't be completed in a short while.

It would likely take years...

Thinking of this, Lin Zichen shook his head, stopped focusing too much on this achievement task, and instead turned to Guo Xiangyuan to ask about the distribution of the championship prize money.

The Eight-School League championship came with a total prize of 30,000 yuan.

The school took a cut, and the coach and teammates took their shares.

In the end, as the absolute core player, Lin Zichen received a 20,000 yuan payout.

He took away two-thirds of the total.

It was much more than he had expected.

In the evening, the two families gathered for a celebratory dinner.

As the champion, Lin Zichen was praised by both sets of parents from start to finish.

He had the potential of a Mechanical Cyborg!

He had the potential of a Gene Fusionist!

They heaped every compliment they could think of upon him, pinning high hopes on his future.

Lin Zichen listened with no fluctuation in his heart, silently calculating how much money he had saved up in total.

There was the 20,000 yuan payout from winning the Martial Arts Tournament.

There were the prizes won from various academic competitions he had participated in previously.

There was the scholarship he had received from the school.

Adding it all up, he had nearly 30,000 yuan.

This is a decent amount of money; it's time to find a purchasing agent to help buy Ghost Shadow Squid meat, and strive to unlock the Ghost Shadow Squid entry in the atlas before graduating middle school...

Lin Zichen thought to himself.
