Top-class Bodyguard

Before long, it was almost Ren Feng's turn to compete.

Everyone gathered by the river, ready to go.

The competition was simple, just a lap back and forth, but it was a long stretch. To prevent anyone from running out of stamina, the river was dotted with many boats, with lifeguards ready to rescue at any moment.

The riverside was crowded with people. Besides the tourists, media cameras were poised, ready to capture everything.

Additionally, a few coaches were there to scout for promising talents to recruit for swimming. An Olympic champion, Dou Ming, once hailed from Wansha City, which made this event particularly popular.

"Jia, after watching for so long, did you spot any promising talents?"

Two elderly men were seated at an inn by the riverbank, binoculars in hand.

"Don't bring it up, there's no one promising this year. There was a sixteen-year-old who swam quite well, but Pu already recruited him."

"Keep looking, there might be some talents. You should also give a glance at those over twenty; there might be some exceptionally talented ones."

"Stop joking, how can there be another genius like Dou Ming? Getting one is already impressive, wanting two is asking too much." Jia shook his head immediately.

"Stop talking now; the race is about to start. Let's watch the race first."

The other person picked up the binoculars.

"You watch; I've seen enough and am tired." Jia shook his head.

Just then, a command was given, and the swimmers dove into the water, fervently swimming forward.

A cheer erupted from the riverside, with shouts of encouragement filling the air.

Diao was giving it his all, and every time he thought of that woman he just saw, he felt invigorated.

Confidently, having been a professional swimmer before, he thought, who here could compare to him?

Diao held his head down and swam on, but suddenly, a surprised uproar burst from the riverbank.

Everyone was stunned, for they saw one participant speeding through the water like a motorized propeller!

While others had barely started, this one shot ahead like an arrow.

Waves splashed around, rippling like waves generated in the distance.

What the heck, is that even human?

The tourists were dumbfounded. My gosh, can someone swim that fast?

This isn't a flying fish, it's a missile!

No way any lightning-fast camera could catch up with his speed.

The media personnel, snapping back from their shock, immediately shouted, "Point every camera at him immediately!"

In a flash, all the cameras were focused on Ren Feng.

Diao felt the water surging, his inner determination unwavering, nobody could surpass him this time.

Ren Feng was way out in front, unstoppable like he'd consumed Xuanmai, zooming past a yacht and the splash hitting a lifeguard.

"Hey, hey, ah!"

The lifeguard hadn't time to react and was knocked into the water.

"Help, help, I'm drowning!"

The lifeguard floated in a panic but then realized something wrong.

I'm a lifeguard, why am I shouting?

He climbed back onto the yacht.

The lifeguard on the second yacht, observing the fierce speed and the splashing, was startled.

"Oh my God, it's a shark!"

With a splash!

Frightened, he jumped into the water but realized, no, I should be on the yacht, right?

The lifeguard was scared stiff, but it was too late. The "shark" rapidly approached him.

"Ah! Don't eat me, I'm too fatty to taste good!"

Terrified, he covered his eyes, but after a moment of silence, peeked and found a person swimming quickly away!

What! This can't be human!

The two coaches, upon seeing this, the one with binoculars was stunned.

"Jia, Jia, quickly, quickly!"

"Quick for what?"

Jia took a sip of his drink.

"Damn it, look!"

The coach swore and knocked his drink over.

Seeing the urgency, Jia nonchalantly grabbed the binoculars, but upon glancing, his mouth dropped open.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa!"

Jia stood up, seeing through the binoculars that the person was already swimming back.

And at this speed, it was practically a torpedo!

"A genius!" Jia's beard quivered with excitement, "Better than Dou Ming, no, Dou Ming can't even compare!"

Everyone was shocked; this was purely Ren Feng's stage, while the fastest Diao had barely completed a quarter.

This time, I'm number one!

Diao cheered himself on, feeling the satisfaction of leaving others far behind.

But just then, waves splashed by, rushing past him!

Huh, did something strange just pass by?

Diao was puzzled, opening his eyes only to see water splashes and faintly hear cheers from the crowd.

Yeah, they must be cheering for me. I need to keep pushing!

Diao plowed forward again.

Not only the riverside but the upcoming swimmers were also dumbstruck.

Are my eyes deceiving me?

Is he really swimming at such speed?

Xia Wenxue was astounded, but then remembered a promise she made earlier, blushing, and her emotions flustered.

Before long, Ren Feng reached the shore.

Why is everyone staring at me like this?

Ren Feng noticed everyone's slack-jawed stares, almost frozen.

He waved at the seated referee, who just stared back, unmoving.

The rest were much the same, watching him intently but motionless, like statues.

The referee looked at his stopwatch with difficulty, forty seconds!

Bang!

The referee collapsed to the ground.
