“Young Master Ye, are you sure you want to swim?" Wen Xiaoting curiously asked, looking up and down at Ye Fei.

Ye Fei shrugged his shoulders, his words humble, but his expression confident: "Do you want to go swimming with me? It just so happens that there are plenty of usable lanes here.”

Wen Xiaoting coughed nervously and waved her hands, weakly stating, "I can't, I can only do prodding."

Mu Zijin couldn't help smiling, sure enough, Wen Xiaoting was honest.

Then, Wen Xiaoting pointed at Ye Fei and Mu Zijin, excitedly saying, "You two race each other, and I'll be the referee and time you."

Ye Fei indifferently replied, "Fine by me."

While having a conversation with her, he quietly told the system to open the stat page.

Ye Fei didn't hesitate to start upgrading his skills and consuming 100 million yuan! 

($​​15,723,764)

Suddenly, Ye Fei advanced his swimming proficiency!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, for getting advanced swimming proficiency!] The system prompt sounded along with it.

Ye Fei had spent 100 million yuan to directly upgrade his skills to advanced level.

Needless to say the power of advanced skills, Ye Fei is full of confidence because of this.

"Then please, can our competitors go to their respective positions! Competition comes first and friendship is second!" Wen Xiaoting imitated a referee and let Ye Fei and Mu Zijin stand on the two lanes respectively.

Mu Zijin slightly smiled, tossed the bath towel on the chair next to her, and proceeded to her lane.

Ye Fei followed soon.

"Then, how about a 500 meter race? There is no limit to swimming style and you must complete two laps back and forth." Wen Xiaoting added with a hint of excitement.

"No problem." Ye Fei had no objection.

"Good." Mu Zijin readily agreed.

Mu Zijin's eyes twinkled as she stared at Ye Fei, and she chose to be cautious because her inner gut was trying to warn her.

In reality, the lap she just completed did not use her whole energy and was not even close to her maximum. Even more so, a professional athlete of the provincial team might not be her opponent!

Mu Zijin stood straight in front of the swimming lane, showcasing her perfect figure, yet her eyes brimmed with seriousness and intense focus.

"Okay, then get ready,..... And, start!" Wen Xiaoting yelled enthusiastically. 

As soon as her voice sounded, she saw Ye Fei and Mu Zijin both jump and fall into the water at almost the same time.

Similar to a fish in the water!

It can only be described with such words, because when Ye Fei and Mu Zijin fell into the water, they really swam like fish!

While the water was splashing, only two figures were seen.

Mu Zijin's swimming style was beautiful. During that time, she employed freestyle, dancing in the water with her slim legs and flailing her arms.

Meticulously, Ye Fei had also chosen freestyle.

For more context, freestyle is the fastest of all swimming styles, so both of them chose freestyle by careful consideration.

Moreover, only to see Ye Fei's swimming style is at an advanced level!

His legs and hands are highly synchronized, and he continually slaps the water's surface hard, his body changing back and forth. 

Ye Fei has already rushed out a few meters in an instant, and he’s swimming very comfortably in the water.

Wen Xiaoting's eyes widened: "Such fast speed! Ye Fei may be an actual master swimmer. I don’t think Zijin may be able to beat him.”

In the water, the two shadows were very distinct.

Both had chosen two adjacent swim lanes, and in this way, Mu Zijin could clearly see Ye Fei's lane.

Glancing a bit, she saw that Ye Fei was a half meter faster than her!

Even more so, Mu Zijin also noticed that Ye Fei's swimming style is extremely standard, not worse than her at all and it was similar to that of a professional swimmer!

After adding appropriate points, Ye Fei's physical fitness is very strong, not to mention that he has now upgraded his swimming proficiency to the advanced level.

It can be said that immersing in the water had become his home ground!

Meanwhile, Wen Xiaoting was a little dumbfounded as it was the first time she encountered this situation.

She knew that Mu Zijin's swimming level was very proficient, but now it seems that Mu Zijin is falling behind Ye Fei!

Swimming is unlike any other sport. There is a significant difference between professional and non-professional.

Ordinary individuals, like Wen Xiaoting, can only do dog paddling and, at most, breaststroke, yet their swimming pace is incomparable to that of professional athletes.

So, before the start of their competition, Wen Xiaoting firmly believed that Ye Fei would be completely crushed.

But, now the situation...

Swimming about 300 meters, Ye Fei was already ahead.

Moreover, the gap between Ye Fei and Mu Zijin was slowly widening.

500 meters!

Ye Fei was the first to touch the swimming pool wall, then slammed his feet and jumped back out.

The distance between the two was even wider.

It seemed that Ye Fei fully embodied a professional swimming level.

Mu Zijin's speed is of course very fast, but on the other hand, Ye Fei has proficient swimming skills, and the inborn differences between men and women made it that Mu Zijin lagged behind.

Ye Fei went faster and passed Mu Zijin by at least 400 meters then he stopped by the pool and waited for Mu Zijin to reach the finish line.

After a while, Mu Zijin also reached the end.

Her eyes flashed with surprise as she said, "You won, Ye Fei, you swim very well." 

Before she knew it, Mu Zijin had changed Ye Fei's name from Mr. Ye to Ye Fei.

At this moment, Mu Zijin was very beautiful, similar to touching a lotus flower in the water.

Her eyes continuously flashed with surprise and splendor, obviously admiring Ye Fei's swimming level.

If you lose, then you lose. Mu Zijin admitted her defeat generously and there was also a hint of interest in her eyes since it seemed that she had met a worthy opponent. It’s not that often that you find someone like Ye Fei.

"You are not bad either." Ye Fei replied.

Mu Zijin is indeed amazing, her level is enough to make countless men ashamed.

But Ye Fei still won, and he won it beautifully!

"Wow, Young Master Ye, you are such a monster!  Martial arts, swimming... What other skills do you have? Too powerful." Wen Xiaoting gave Ye Fei a thumbs up, sincerely admiring him.

[Ding, congratulations to the host, 200 experience points gained.] In Ye Fei's ear, the system prompt sounded in due course.
