Chapter 63: 63, The Strongest Student in School History

“Ah?”

When everyone saw Lin Zichen casually kick his opponent off the Martial Stage with a single kick, the same sound buzzed through everyone’s mind.

The chubby guy actually lost?

Kicked off the Martial Stage by a freshman?

How is that possible!

All the people present were shocked, their faces full of disbelief, and for a moment, they thought they were hallucinating.

Among them, a senior girl was so startled that she opened her mouth into an ‘O’ shape, big enough to fit in two cucumbers, and with her eyeballs almost popping out, her expression was extremely exaggerated.

“How is it possible?!”

“How could I possibly be kicked off the Martial Stage so easily by you?!”

“This is unscientific!!”

The chubby guy rolled more than ten meters on the ground before coming to a stop, and as soon as he stopped, he sat up and yelled in disbelief.

He pondered how he weighed over 250 kilograms, with the soles of his shoes being rough and anti-slip, granting him great friction with the ground — usually, even when several people pushed him, they couldn’t move him. How could a freshman possibly kick him off the Martial Stage?!

This was simply unreasonable!

However, no matter how unreasonable it seemed, the fact had indeed occurred before everyone’s eyes.

“Zi Chen, did you hold back during the physical test?”

After recovering from his shock, Han Yuanfeng immediately looked at Lin Zichen on the stage and asked.

Lin Zichen lied without batting an eye, “Yeah, I did hold back, but not by much. The reason I could kick my senior off the Martial Stage just now is mainly due to my legs’ naturally explosive power.”

Han Yuanfeng didn’t doubt his words and quickly asked, “Zi Chen, how much weight can you lift with one hand now?”

Lin Zichen answered calmly, “I tested it at home last week, it’s about 400kg.”

400kg?!

Upon hearing such a number, Lu Gang, who was in the class team, was totally stunned.

You can lift a 400kg barbell with one hand?!

I have God-given strength, and the most I can lift is just over 310kg. Who’s the one with God-given strength then?!

While Lu Gang was feeling devastated, Wang Shujie wasn’t doing any better, with a look of questioning his life plastered across his face.

He had previously thought about surpassing Lin Zichen before graduating high school, to pin Lin Zichen down on the Martial Stage and rub him harshly in front of the whole class.

But now, he realized that he was simply dreaming.

Neither in terms of the current situation nor potential did he match up to the other, how could he possibly make a comeback?!

The gap not widening would already be something to be thankful for.

Not far away.

He Yu came back to his senses from his daze, his face full of disbelief, “Ah? He can lift a 400kg barbell with one hand? Is this really a first-year high school student? Has Zi Chen been playing the fool all along?”

Li Chuxin looked at Shen Qinghan next to her with a puzzled face and asked, “Han Han, I really can’t understand why Zi Chen wasn’t the top scholar of our city. Did he have diarrhea during the middle school exams?”

“Hmm, Xiao Chen felt a bit unwell during the middle school exams and didn’t perform well. Also, he trained very hard during the summer vacation after the exams. He improved a lot at that time.”

Shen Qinghan considerately covered up the inconsistencies about Lin Zichen, doing the only thing she could to help him.

As for why Lin Zichen was so strong, even she, as his childhood friend, didn’t know.

The one thing she knew more than the others was that Lin Zichen was much stronger than he usually showed.

She still vividly remembered the incident from years ago, when they were followed by a human trafficker on their way home from school.

Lin Zichen, who was only eight years old at that time, punched the adult trafficker to the ground with a single blow, leaving him paralyzed, spewing blood from his mouth, and gasping for breath.

“Ah, Zi Chen junior, you’re too amazing, so handsome and skilled in combat, senior sister feels like you’ve nearly stolen her soul!”

“Zi Chen junior, I want to be your friend, can I add you on WeChat?”

“Zi Chen junior, I’m your fan, I’ve been since you were in the first year!”

Lin Zichen had just stepped down from the Martial Stage, and immediately several senior sisters surrounded him.

He didn’t give the senior sisters his WeChat, and with a poorly made excuse, he forcefully slipped away—he didn’t want too much contact with unfamiliar girls.

“Zi Chen, you’re something all right, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger for so long. You’ve put on quite a show today; must be feeling awesome, huh?”

No sooner had Lin Zichen walked towards his class team than He Yu approached him with a teasing remark.

Lin Zichen laughed and said, “It was quite thrilling.”

However, he only said it was thrilling with his lips; in reality, he didn’t find it thrilling at all.

What he found thrilling was single-handedly defeating an entire class on his own.

That way, he could experience the highest level of showing off in front of others, and also advance the progress bar of the ‘Survival of the Fittest’ achievement, which would be perfect.

But like today, where he was practically an onlooker for the entire event and only got to participate in the last fight, to be honest, there was no sense of thrill at all; rather, it felt like a waste of time.

“I hope that next time we fight a key class, the opponents will be stronger and get their class knocked down to the last standing sooner, so that I can enter the stage and sweep across.”

Lin Zichen hoped silently in his heart.

In the time that followed.

Each class formed a line, facing each other and walking forward, just like the handshake segment after a basketball game in the past life—a gesture of sportsmanship.

While shaking hands with the opponents, Lin Zichen would smile and say a “Well played,” maintaining an image of someone strong yet gracious.

After the handshake session, the two class teachers stood together, chatting idly.

As the conversation drifted, Han Yuanfeng called Lin Zichen over to talk about his amazing performance on the Martial Stage with the class teacher of Class 6 Senior Year 2.

“Brother Feng, your student Zi Chen is amazing, almost feels like he can compare with Wu Tiancheng back in his freshman year.”

The class teacher of Class 6 Senior Year 2 couldn’t help but exclaim as they recalled the moment when Lin Zichen kicked the chubby kid off the Martial Stage.

Han Yuanfeng smiled and said, “That’s not quite true. Wu Tiancheng was inhuman. Back in his freshman year, he almost scared the principal to death, performing incredibly strongly.”

“Teacher, who is this Wu Tiancheng?”

Hearing the conversation, Lin Zichen couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Han Yuanfeng replied, “Wu Tiancheng is a senior who graduated a few terms ago. In his freshman year, he managed to clear the top class of senior year students, exhibiting exceptional talent that even frightened many school leaders.”

“I can’t quite remember his physical test data from back in his freshman year, but I recall it was much higher than yours.”

“Anyway, that guy was a once-in-a-century genius. To this date, he is the strongest student in the history of Shanhai High School, and he left the second place far behind.”

After finishing his comment, Han Yuanfeng looked at the class teacher of Class 6 Senior Year 2 and asked, “By the way, A’Jie, do you remember Wu Tiancheng’s data from the first physical test in his freshman year?”

“Of course, I remember,” said the class teacher of Class 6 Senior Year 2. “A hundred meters in 6.12 seconds, a standing vertical jump of 3.96 meters, and a single-handed lift of a 650-kilogram barbell.”

Lin Zichen listened to these three sets of data and realized that the school’s strongest student as a freshman was almost as strong as he was in the summer of his sixth grade in primary school.

Couldn’t help but admit, genuinely impressive, worthy of the title of the strongest in school history.

“So, how do you feel hearing these figures, are you scared a bit?” asked Class 6 Senior Year 2’s class teacher with a grin looking towards Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen nodded and said, “A little scared.”
