Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the three groups finished, Shi Guang indubitably got into the provincial team with the best timing of them all. With the third best timing, Lin Qiqi got into the team as well. But, Xu Zixian did not manage to get in—she was at the 6th place.

However, when she saw Shi Guang, she did not give off any sense of disappointment from her failure. Instead, she was congratulating the latter sincerely and was happy for her.

1st place... Shi Guang was in slight disbelief.

Previously, she had only wanted to get into the top five and earn a spot in the provincial team. But to think that she would even get the 1st place! The credit really had to go to Coach Zhang. Without him, there would be many small and insignificant details in her strokes that would have gone uncorrected. It was because of those habitual errors that her timings had remained stagnant for a long time.

There was a break time of 30 minutes after the first event—this was the time for the reporters to make their rounds as well.

The top five of the freestyle event were all sent over to the press area for the media in the swimming hall.

Even though this wasn’t a public area, there was still quite a number of people around—swimmers, leaders, fans, relatives, and friends. Shi Guang caught sight of her grandma and Mo Jin entering as well.

If one were to say that Cheng Qi was the most popular out of the male team, Shi Guang was undoubtedly the one where the press wanted the most attention from in the female team. Firstly, it was because she was in the 1st place, and secondly, it was because she was popular.

Furthermore, there was also the fact that she was the prettiest out of all the female freestyle swimmers, and had the most magnificent swimming stance as well. In the waters, she looked just like a flying fish that was skipping through the waters with a bedazzling grace that they could not peel their eyes away from.

The reporters of the press crowded around Shi Guang and stuffed their microphones before her.

So, she was already 20 years old, and had been swimming since she was young. Yet, she had not made an appearance in the Nationals before?

That was unbelievable!

For someone to attract all the attention, there would definitely be others who would be left out cold. Other than Shi Guang, Lin Qiqi was the only other person whom the reporters asked questions from. Everyone else was just left in the dust.

The 2nd place swimmer—Liu Yanli—was naturally especially displeased as her face turned black while she grumbled sourly to Lin Qiqi beside her, “Swimming is not like a beauty pageant. What’s the use of having a pretty face? All these reporters only know how to look at one’s face!”

Lin Qiqi rolled her eyes at Liu Yanli frostily. “Not only is she prettier than you, but she also swims better than you.”

Hearing that, Liu Yanli’s face turned to the epitome of terribleness. Especially so when the reporters ignored her and asked Lin Qiqi what she felt about Shi Guang getting the 1st place.

Lin Qiqi was really magnanimous. “Losing to Shi Guang? All I can say is that it was no accident. I look forward to our next match against one another!”

During the preliminary heats, she had already witnessed Shi Guang’s capabilities.

However, Liu Yanli merely thought that Lin Qiqi was being hypocritical.

Just as the interviews were about to end, someone suddenly yelled out, “Shi Guang’s timing is a few seconds different from her timings two months ago! I’m going to report her for using forbidden drugs to improve her performance!”

The moment that statement was made, the entire crowd went into an uproar.

The masses spun their heads around perplexedly. However, because there were way too many people present, no one could determine the source of the voice.

With that, everyone’s gazes then locked onto Shi Guang.

In the sporting world, there were many scandals about athletes making use of stimulants and forbidden drugs to dope their performance—this was the one taboo that all athletes would have to avoid.

“This is a disgrace!” Some athletes were already expressing their displeasure.

And of course, keywords as such were the hottest things that could stir the hearts of the reporters present. After all, the one thing that they would love to pursue was definitely an eye-popping scandal.

All of them cast their predatory gazes over at Shi Guang as dozens of questions flew out instantly.

“What do you think about that accusation that was raised about you?”

“Did you really use illegal means? Does your coach know about it?”

“Did your coach allow you to use such ‘special means’ to enhance your performance?”
