Chapter 736: 726 King (16) 1 more

Voices chanting "Great Demon King" could be heard at the competition venue.

Coach He, Coach Xu, and the Head Coach all stood nervously not far away, watching the competitors by the poolside.

Coach He, in particular, had been extremely anxious about Su Xiao’s condition these past few days. Now, seeing Su Xiao step beside the swimming lane, he felt a surge of complex emotions.

Coach He couldn’t quite understand his own feelings; he didn’t know where Coach Xu had gone to train Ye Shaohua and the other three. Seeing all four of them standing on the swimming lanes made him a bit fearful.

Because it wasn’t just them on the racetrack.

There were three others.

M Country’s Delis, E Country’s Betty, and Australia’s Mei Li.

Each of them had previously won medals at world championships.

In fact, not only Coach He, but everyone on the women’s swimming team felt fear at that moment. During the last Olympic Games in R Country, the Flower Country’s women’s swimming team finished last; when that athlete touched the wall, the spectating crowd let out a hiss.

It made every member of the women’s swimming team’s eyes turn red.

It was both shame and anger.

The audiences from Flower Country were also furious, which was one of the reasons they resented the women’s swimming team for their lack of competitiveness.

Half of the audience this time hadn’t been following the recent domestic swimming scene.

So when they saw four contestants from Flower Country, they were so shocked they didn’t know what to say.

Of course, the surprise wasn’t limited to the local crowd; people from R Country, E Country, Australia, and Jia Country all felt it too, with some even letting out an involuntary hiss.

Liu Ying, sitting in the audience, heard two foreigners in front mockingly whisper, "Flower Country’s own competition and they come up with four contestants. Don’t they know that Betty has already monopolized the gold for three years?"

"Have they forgotten the last Olympic Games when their swimmer finished last, five seconds behind..."

Liu Ying listened, her heart aching slightly.

"Come on, Great Demon King!" Finally, Liu Ying could only raise the national flag high in her hand, silently cheering in Ye Shaohua’s direction!

And just at that moment, with the sound of the starting gun, all eight competitors dived into the water.

The initial difference was not particularly significant, and the spectators couldn’t see very clearly, but they could faintly make out the swimmer in lane eight leading the one ahead!

The spectators couldn’t see clearly, but those watching the live broadcast could see plainly that, at the place where the national flags were ranked, the Flower Country flag was at the top!

Not just that, the eight swimming lanes were very distinct.

This time, the home field was in Flower Country, so the broadcast was by a commentator from Hua Country, but there were also commentators from M Country and R Country.

Initially, the commentators focused on introducing the three famous competitors, "We can see that lane seven is Betty, the 200-meter freestyle record holder. Look at her dive in, what a perfect sprint... oh my God! Lane eight, do you see? Lane eight has actually surpassed the world record! This world is too crazy! She’s still accelerating, she’s still gaining speed, my lord, Ye Shaohua, how did this Ye Shaohua suddenly appear?!"

Meanwhile.

Viewers watching the live broadcast could also clearly see on their screens a yellow moving line in the swimming pool. Those who didn’t understand swimming wouldn’t know, but there were explanations in the comments that the moving line represented the world record pace for the women’s 200-meter freestyle.

As the eight competitors swam, the world record line moved with them.

Yet everyone could see that one person kept leaving that world record line behind!

"My God, the world record line?!"

"Ah ah ah! Already ahead of the world record line from the start, go Great Demon King!"

The Flower Country people who said they dared not watch were shocked by the grand scene Ye Shaohua created right at the beginning, one by one.

"Generally speaking, won’t someone who starts fast like this lose energy later on?"

This time, the competition was clearly different from the last one.

After three months of highly targeted demon training, all four of them, including Ye Shaohua, obviously differed greatly in swimming compared to before.

Ye Shaohua had undergone systematic training for three months, during which she had a good grasp of swimming techniques, and her physical fitness was pushed to the highest endurance.

This time she couldn’t let herself become injured in a swimming race again.

But this didn’t mean she wasn’t strong!

Compared to three months ago, Ye Shaohua was then still too green.

However, at this moment, Ye Shaohua had established her own style!

"Here it comes! The world’s number one underwater sprint! Who else do we have here? Who else!"

Fans of Ye Shaohua were already crying with excitement in the comments.

In these two months, Ye Shaohua had been terribly maligned, with some saying she was washed-up, and others blaming her for not continuing to swim and not winning medals for the country...

The fans had dreamt of seeing Ye Shaohua shine at the world championships, but they never expected that, in just three months, Ye Shaohua would appear at the Olympic Games and surpass the world record as soon as she dived in!

Ye Shaohua was already doing excellently, leaving everyone else behind in the other lanes.

But she didn’t slacken or relax because of that. Her focus was entirely on herself, with each kick and stroke exceptionally efficient.

Just as she had said herself, from start to finish, her only opponent was herself!

At the first turn, Ye Shaohua’s speed was evidently undiminished. In fact, she had extended her lead over the world record line by half a meter!

"Ye Shaohua, our Hua Country’s Ye Shaohua, is consistently surpassing the record line, leaving other contenders far behind," exclaimed the excited commentator from Hua Country. As a swimming commentator, this was his first time witnessing such a scene at the Olympic Games. At this moment, he had completely forgotten that Shang Yihan and the others were also swimming well, directing all his attention onto Ye Shaohua, "Now, let’s see if our contestant can bring us a miracle!"

At the second turn, Ye Shaohua still hadn’t surfaced.

Commentators from other countries were astonished. How could someone hold their breath for so long?!
