He unleashed a world-class goal with a single kick; you're saying this is Su Chao?

2024 October.

The No. 1 Middle School Stadium in the county.

The sun baked the plastic track until it was scorching hot.

A group of people are gathered in the middle of the plastic running track.

A middle-aged man ran over like a madman.

Push through the crowd.

Only then did he see his favorite student lying on the ground.

Chen Xun clutched his left foot, in so much pain he couldn't stand up.

"How are you?"

Coach Lao Xu squatted down and carefully examined Chen Xun's ankle.

At this moment, his ankle was swollen like a steamed bun, and the bluish-purple bruises stained his snow-white sports socks red.

"At the start, Fei Zixin deliberately jumped the gun and bumped into him!"

Chen Xun's junior brother next to him shouted angrily.

Chen Xun raised his head, his gaze passing through the crowd and landing on a figure not far away.

Fei Zixin was the one who started all of this.

He and Chen Xun are alumni of the same school and are also each other's biggest competitors in the 100-meter event of this physical education test.

Fei Zixin's best time is 11.02 seconds, which has always been surpassed by Chen Xun.

Chen Xun has already broken the 11-second barrier, approaching the level of a first-class athlete.

The standard for a national first-class athlete is 10.93 seconds, while Chen Xun's best time was 10.95 seconds.

It is very likely that they will perform exceptionally well during the exam and directly reach the level of a first-class athlete.

The top scorer in the county's No. 1 Middle School in this physical education exam is a sure thing!

The school's only guaranteed admission spot for students with athletic talent, along with the first-place prize money, will all go to Chen Xun.

After all, it's just an ordinary county high school, not a high school specializing in sports.

If a principal can produce a 100-meter sprinter who can run under 11 seconds, it would be enough for him to stand up straight at an education bureau meeting.

Chen Xun's coach, Lao Xu, was also able to use this achievement to transition from a substitute teacher to a permanent position and be awarded an intermediate professional title.

No one expected that a seventeen-year-old student would resort to such despicable means.

It's true that the kind of coach you have determines the kind of students you produce.

Old Xu was deliberately tripped by Fei Zixin's coach Wang Lei during the provincial games finals, resulting in a torn cruciate ligament and ending his professional athletic career.

Unexpectedly, twenty years later, he used the same underhanded trick on his most prized apprentice.

"This is outrageous! They're all going to die today!"

Old Xu was so angry that he was trembling all over, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He turned around and was about to rush towards the podium.

He has a good temper. When he was ambushed back then, he just felt unlucky. He went to an ordinary university, passed the teacher qualification exam, and returned to his alma mater to become a physical education teacher.

Now that he has his favorite apprentice, he can't stand this insult.

"Without surveillance, the starting area is a blind spot."

Chen Xun sighed.

Old Xu stopped in his tracks, his shoulders slumping limply.

No evidence!

Even if you sue him, what can you do? You can just dismiss it with a simple "it was an accident".

Injuries are a lifelong enemy for athletes.

In the heat of sports, it is difficult to determine whether an action constitutes intentional harm.

Chen Xun lost a year, or even a lifetime of opportunity.

Who would have thought that this would happen during the final training session, when the admission tickets had already been printed and the exam was just around the corner?

That's how cruel sports competitions are.

The result is everything!

"Your foot will need at least three months to heal, you'll definitely miss the physical education exam, why don't you repeat a year?"

Old Xu's voice was choked with sobs.

If he could, he would rather be the one who gets hurt.

For athletes, a year of their youth is priceless!

With Lao Xu's help, Chen Xun slowly stood up and limped off the field.

The sunlight was blinding.

Chen Xun thought of his father's calloused hands and the eggs his mother would boil for him every day at five in the morning.

And there were countless mornings and nights when I sweated profusely on the track.

From junior high to senior high, a full six years.

I get up at 5:30 every morning and don't get home until 10 p.m.

While others were playing games, he was practicing his starting pace; while others were dating, he was practicing his explosive power; while others were on vacation, he was running so hard on the track that he almost threw up.

It was all for nothing!

[Ding! The Football Skill Extraction System is now officially activated]

[New player gift pack has been distributed, granting one free skill draw chance]

[Should we draw immediately?]

A few lines of text appeared before his eyes.

Chen Xun paused, almost falling over.

"Does your foot hurt again?"

Old Xu quickly helped him up, his face full of worry.

"No...it's nothing."

Chen Xun shook his head.

"Extract!"

[Drawing...]

He wondered if he was hallucinating from the pain.

The words reappeared.

Old Xu's family lives in the old staff housing behind the county's No. 1 Middle School. There is no elevator on the sixth floor.

While climbing the stairs, Chen Xun was practically hanging on Lao Xu.

My ankles hurt like they were being pricked with needles with every step I took.

The hallway was filled with the aromas of food from each household, with the smell of braised pork ribs mingling with the smell of cooking oil.

Normally he would have been hungry by now.

I have no appetite at all today.

Old Xu knocked on the door, his voice unconsciously softening: "You Rong, come out and lend a hand!"

squeak~

The door opened.

Xu Yourong was wearing bear pajamas, her hair was messily tied into a bun, and she had half an ice pop in her mouth.

Seeing Chen Xun's miserable state, the popsicle in his mouth suddenly fell to the ground.

"Chen Xun, you've been beaten up?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I sprained my ankle during the physical exam."

Old Xu helped Chen Xun to the sofa, picked up his coat, and headed out the door: "I'm going back to the school to talk to the principal and the people from the Education Bureau about the situation. You take good care of him at home and don't let him move around too much."

"Ah... I'll take care of him?"

Xu Yourong immediately bristled: "Dad, I have my monthly exam tomorrow! Besides, he's a grown man, how am I supposed to take care of him?"

"I'll only take care of her for two days. Your mom will be back from her grandma's house in a couple of days."

Old Xu had already reached the top of the stairs, his voice drifting up from downstairs: "Pour him a glass of water, get him something to eat, and call me if he needs anything!"

boom!

The door closed.

Only Chen Xun and Xu Yourong remained in the living room, staring at each other blankly.

Chen Xun felt a little embarrassed.

The two had a fairly good relationship in junior high school.

Ever since Xu Yourong's best friend confessed her feelings to Chen Xun in the first year of high school, Chen Xun's relationship with her has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Although Chen Xun's conversation didn't last long due to Xu Yourong's meddling.

What's the difference between Lao Xu throwing himself at home and throwing him into a fire pit?

as predicted.

Xu Yourong crossed her arms, looked Chen Xun up and down, wrinkled her nose, and looked disgusted.

"How long has it been since you washed your feet?"

She took two steps back, as if dodging some biological weapon: "The moment you took off your shoes, you killed all the cockroaches in my house with the stench!"

Chen Xun: "..."

He glanced down at the sneakers that had been taken off.

After running all morning and sweating so much, the smell is definitely a bit intoxicating.

This is a common problem among athletes.

Even female athletes don't smell good.

"Go wash your feet right away!"

Xu Yourong covered her nose and pointed to the bathroom: "I just turned on the water heater, the water temperature is just right. After you're done washing, put your socks in the washing machine, don't leave them on my sofa."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room.

boom!

The door was tightly closed.

Chen Xun was left alone in the living room, unsure whether to stand or sit.

Chen Xun sighed and tried to move his left foot, but it was excruciatingly painful.

Dude, don't even mention washing your feet.

Now even walking is difficult.

Just then!

A few lines of text reappeared:

[Current Task: Foot massage for at least 100 minutes, progress 0%]

[Task Hint: Foot massage can promote blood circulation, accelerate ligament recovery, and activate skill neural connections.]
