Chapter 150 - Break the World Record
Tiger and Drake were both dead.
Mr. Stardust drew a pistol from the drawer. He disengaged the safety on his phone and pushed open the door. Instantly, he was hit by the stench of blood.
That's when Mr. Stardust was confronted with a horrific sight.
Dozens of bodyguards throughout the villa, including Drake and Tiger, had been slaughtered.
“Who's there?” Mr. Stardust's eyes blazed with fury at the sight. They were all his brothers.
“Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that you're marked for death.” Accompanying the chilling voice, the water in the swimming pool transford into an Aqua Drake that coiled around Mr. Stardust. Then, the water rapidly solidified, encasing him in ice.
Mr. Stardust instantly understood why.
He should never have lusted after the panacea of the Immortals Retreat!
Such prowess belonged to the divine.
What could he, a re mortal with strength, do against that?
They could snuff out his life in a heartbeat.
Shortly after Ye Hao departed, dozens of police cars converged on the scene. The officers were t with a sight beyond belief.
Mr. Stardust had beco an ice sculpture.
The Martial Arts Bureau took over the investigation.
After their initial findings, they passed the case to the Supernatural Bureau.
Xiao Ming, upon reviewing the case, reached out to Ye Hao.
Ye Hao offered no denial.
Once Xiao Ming understood the motive, he directed the Martial Arts Bureau to dismantle Mr. Stardust's influence in Glento.
The following day, the police launched a major crackdown on the criminal syndicate.
Nearly all of Mr. Stardust's underlings were apprehended.
The transformation of Mr. Stardust into an ice sculpture beca the talk of the town. Coupled with the earlier incident involving Zhang Jinsong, it wasn't hard for people to piece together the sequence of events.
It appeared that Zhang Jinsong's boss had made his move.
Ultimately, Zhang Jinsong's boss, after eliminating so many, not only remained unscathed but also had the authorities' support in wiping out Mr. Stardust's empire.
This only added layers to the mystery surrounding Ye Hao.
As Glento's elite speculated about Ye Hao's identity, he, donning the Riverdale College uniform, made his way to the sports field.
Today marked the day of the Riverdale College Autumn Sports Festival.
After the principal and other leaders had given their speeches, the sports et officially comnced. Students from various classes took their seats in the stands.
Zhang Lan approached Ye Hao, holding a number plate, and inford him, “The shot put event starts at 8:40 AM.”
Ye Hao glanced at the ti and noticed it was already 8:35 AM.
“Got it.”
“Let stick the number plate on your back for you,” Zhang Lan offered, and promptly affixed the plate to Ye Hao's back.
Ye Hao was familiar with shot put techniques, but he was unaware of the school's record.
“Zhang Lan, could you find out the school's shot put record for ?”
“You're aiming to break the school record?”
“Yes.”
Zhang Lan gave Ye Hao a surprised look, then hurried off to ask the teacher overseeing the shot put event for the record.
“15 ters.”
With this information, Ye Hao quietly formulated a plan.
“How far do you think you can throw the shot put?” Zhang Lan asked, intrigued.
“How far would you like to throw it?” Ye Hao responded with a playful grin.
“30 ters,” Zhang Lan replied offhandedly.
“Then I'll throw it 30 ters,” Ye Hao affird with a nod.
“30 ters? Why not claim 100 ters?” a jeering voice chid in.
Ye Hao imdiately recognized the speaker as one of ng Yongyan's friends, soone he had previously bested in a fight.
”Is there a problem?”
“The world record for a five-kilogram shot put is 21 ters. And here you are, claiming you can throw it 30 ters?” Xie Fen looked at Ye Hao as if he were looking at an imbecile.
“How about a wager?” Ye Hao suggested with a smile.
“What's the bet?” Xie Fen asked, taken aback.
“We bet on whether I can throw the shot put 30 ters.”
“Fine. What's the stake?” Xie Fen saw no reason to refuse the bet, convinced that Ye Hao couldn't possibly achieve such a feat, not even national athletes could.
”If I fail, I'll confess to ixue in front of everyone that I like you. If I succeed, you'll have to confess to her that you like her,” Ye Hao said, pointing to a girl nearby who weighed around 300 pounds.
Xie Fen thought the girl was a bit odd.
He glanced at ixue and involuntarily shuddered.
Nevertheless, Xie Fen was confident he wouldn't fail, so he nodded and replied, “Alright.”
“Could everyone please witness this for us?” Ye Hao summoned all the boys participating in the shot put event.
With the boys as witnesses, Ye Hao reiterated the stakes of the bet.
If either Ye Hao or Xie Fen reneged on their word, he would be scorned by everyone.
“Bro, you've really got nerve.”
“You might not realize that ixue is desperate for a boyfriend. If you confess to her, she'll cling to you for sure.”
Ye Hao gave a slight smile and said, “That's what makes it a real challenge.”
“Ye Hao, I can't wait to see you confess to ixue publicly,” Xie Fen said with a grin.
“Don't you think it's a bit premature to be saying that?” Ye Hao shot a glance at Xie Fen.
“You're bound to lose anyway,” Xie Fen scoffed.
“Why would I propose such a bet if I couldn't follow through?” Ye Hao looked at Xie Fen with a mix of pity and amusent. “I must say, I'm concerned about your intelligence.”
“You're just trying to intimidate .”
Ye Hao just smiled and refrained from further conversation with Xie Fen.
Each person had three attempts at the shot put, with their best throw counting as their final score.
The first student threw 13 ters, then 14 ters, and finally 12 ters, making his best and final score 14 ters.
After each student had their turn, it was finally Ye Hao's turn.
Holding the shot put, he looked into the distance and remarked, “Teacher, this sandpit is too close.”
“You're nearly 20 ters away from the edge of the sandpit,” the teacher responded with a hint of exasperation.
“I'm aiming for a 30-ter distance,” Ye Hao declared, stepping back roughly 10 ters.
“This should do.” As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Hao launched the shot put in a soaring arc that shot forward.
Both the teacher and the onlooking students were stunned by where the shot put landed.
“How can that be?”
“That must be around 30 ters.”
“He's broken the world record with such ease.”
After the initial shock subsided, the teacher quickly instructed two students to asure the distance of Ye Hao's throw.
“30.8 ters.” The proctor was astounded upon hearing this figure.
Ye Hao had shattered the world record.
The proctor was convinced that if this result were reported to the General Administration of Sport, they would undoubtedly extend a special invitation to Ye Hao.
