Chapter 55 This result is amazing!
The young man in front of us was tall and had long legs, a well-proportioned figure, a sunny and handsome appearance, and a calm gaze. He was also poised and confident in front of the group of teachers, without the slightest stage fright.
This first impression is indeed quite good.
But despite the admiration, the deep-seated doubt did not disappear—how could an ordinary freshman who had never received professional and systematic training run a 10-second sprint?
This is simply unbelievable.
The reason they put aside their work and gathered here was largely to personally verify the "incredible" discovery that Su Bingying had mentioned.
Seeing that the equipment was ready, Su Bingying clapped his hands: "Alright, Zhiyuan, warm up properly first to prevent muscle strain. Come on, follow my movements."
Knowing that Chen Zhiyuan was not a sports student and might not even know the standard warm-up procedure, he personally stepped forward to demonstrate and led him through a series of professional dynamic stretching and activation exercises.
After a set of warm-up exercises, Chen Zhiyuan felt his body slightly warm and his muscles and joints were loosened up.
"Almost there, Zhiyuan. How does it feel? Can we begin?" Su Bingying asked.
Chen Zhiyuan took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, Teacher Su, I'm fine."
He walked to the 100-meter starting line and bent down to assume a starting position.
At that moment, the sides of the track seemed to fall silent instantly, and he could clearly feel several gazes focused on him.
There were several PE students watching with curiosity and inquiry, and several teachers scrutinizing them seriously and sharply, their eyes filled with doubt, expectation and a hint of barely perceptible tension.
"On your marks—"
"preparation--!!"
Su Bingying personally served as the starter, his voice loud and penetrating as he raised the starting pistol and pointed it at the sky diagonally above.
"Bang!"
Almost at the same instant the gunshot rang out, Chen Zhiyuan's muscles suddenly exploded, and the powerful force of his push-off propelled him forward like an arrow released from a bow!
The eyes of the teachers by the starting line lit up at the same time!
What a quick reaction!
The explosive power and lightning-fast reaction speed at the start are absolutely top-level athletic talent!
However... their expressions immediately became somewhat subtle, even showing surprise.
Chen Zhiyuan's running technique is really too "rough"!
The arm swing was not standardized, the stride frequency and stride length lacked rhythm, and the body's center of gravity fluctuated slightly. It was all about relying on primal instincts and strong physical qualities to brute force it.
But ironically, despite his "amateur" running form, his speed was astonishing, like a shadow darting across the ground!
The school's sports team students watching from the sidelines were completely dumbfounded, their mouths slightly agape, their minds filled with only one thought: So fast! How can he be so fast!
One hundred meters is gone in the blink of an eye when sprinting at full speed.
Chen Zhiyuan slammed his chest powerfully into the finish line, carrying a gust of wind with him.
The bright red numbers on the electronic timer suddenly froze!
10.03 seconds! ! !
silence!
The entire area around the track seemed to have been muted.
Several teachers, including the physical education students, stood frozen in place, their eyes fixed on the number, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
The feeling was so sudden and unexpected that it took their brains a few seconds to process the information.
Although Su Bingying was mentally prepared, seeing the unmistakable "10.03" on the electronic timer with his own eyes, the immense joy and excitement instantly shattered his feigned composure.
Such a huge improvement!
This morning's hand-written time was 10.30 seconds, converted to electronic time, and now it's 10.03 seconds—such a huge improvement!
The enormous surprise had a powerful impact on him!
"Good! Good! Good!" he shouted three times, his loud voice breaking the eerie silence and waking the others.
Su Bingying knew that such a huge improvement was mostly because Chen Zhiyuan had just run several kilometers and only rested for about ten minutes, which seriously affected his performance.
One teacher even walked quickly to the timing device, bent down to check the circuitry and sensors, and looked on with a skeptical expression.
He knew in his heart that the probability of the equipment malfunctioning was extremely low, and based on their professional dynamic vision judgment, Chen Zhiyuan's absolute speed during that run just now was indeed worthy of that astonishing number.
Su Bingying had already jogged up to Chen Zhiyuan, who had just slowed down and stopped, slightly out of breath, and patted him hard on the shoulder, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement:
"Zhiyuan, well done! 10.03 seconds, 10.03 seconds electronically timed! You did it!"
Chen Zhiyuan himself felt a sense of genuine satisfaction and subtle excitement regarding this achievement.
He genuinely broke the 10-second barrier, which was even better than he had expected.
He recalled that in the original timeline, in 2021, Su ran a world-shaking 9.83 seconds, breaking the Asian record and creating a miracle for a non-Black athlete.
But it's 1999 now, and what does 10.03 seconds mean? He needs a professional to interpret it.
"Teacher Su, what level would this score be considered these days?" Chen Zhiyuan asked, catching his breath.
Su Bingying's gaze once again burned brightly on the number on the timer that seemed to glow, her voice still trembling with excitement: "Zhiyuan, do you know? If this were an official competition, your result would be incredibly close to the Asian record!"
Approaching the Asian record? Chen Zhiyuan was shocked.
Teacher Zhao, unable to contain himself any longer, interjected, "The current Asian record for the men's 100 meters is 10 seconds flat, set by Japanese athlete Koji Ito at last year's Asian Games in Bangkok! He was also the first Asian athlete to break the 10-second barrier. You're only 0.03 seconds behind him!"
Only 0.03 seconds off!!
Chen Zhiyuan himself was startled by the distance.
A stronger sense of confidence and ambition quietly grew – with a little systematic training and some technical optimization, breaking the 10-second barrier, or even setting a new Asian record, seemed... not so far-fetched!
Teacher Ma also came over, her face beaming with the same excitement as if she had discovered a gem: "Xiao Chen, your starting time is amazing! Do you know what the current world record is?"
Before Chen Zhiyuan could answer, he excitedly revealed the answer: "It was Maurice Green of the United States who just set that record in June at the IAAF Grand Prix in Athens: 9.79 seconds!"
"Although you're still not quite at his level, you're young, and more importantly, you haven't received any professional training. Your future is limitless, truly limitless!"
Upon hearing the number "9.79 seconds" and the teachers' undisguised expectations, even Chen Zhiyuan, who had lived two lives and was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but feel his heart surge with emotion.
Chen Zhiyuan felt that after professional and systematic training, he should be able to achieve such a result.
I don't know why, but I have this kind of confidence!
