Chapter 19

When Lei Huanxi entered the water, he felt as if his whole body was flying.

It was definitely not an illusion.

Lei Huanxi's swimming skills were originally quite average, at best enough to prevent him from drowning if he fell into the water. But this time, it was completely different.

Like a fish in water!

It was a feeling of flying.

"Someone has fallen into the water, someone has fallen into the water."

Finally, someone noticed the situation.

Even in the water, Lei Huanxi could hear clearly, but at this moment, he was like a swordfish sprinting in the water, approaching the target at an incredible speed.

It was too fast, even he couldn't believe he could move so quickly in the water.

"My goodness, look, that person is so fast."

"Look, look, that person is practically flying in the water!"

On the shore and on the boats, people began to notice Lei Huanxi in the water and exclaimed in surprise.

On one of the boats, four men and one woman, all middle-aged, stood up and looked in Lei Huanxi's direction. One of them even picked up a pair of binoculars.

"Mr. Shi, that speed is simply..."

"Shut up," the man called "Mr. Shi" said with a serious face.

All his attention was focused on Lei Huanxi.

In a short while, Lei Huanxi approached the place where the people had fallen into the water. The two girls were already struggling and sinking to the bottom.

Lei Huanxi grabbed one of them and placed her hands on the overturned boat: "Don't move."

The girl was already terrified and didn't dare to move.

Then, Lei Huanxi rescued the other girl and quickly swam towards the shore.

At this moment, Ma Zi and the security guards had already arrived. Seeing someone fall into the water, they were frightened and their faces turned pale. Secretary Miao had just emphasized the importance of safety, but an accident had already happened.

If someone really died, he wouldn't be able to keep his position as the head of security.

Fortunately, a young man appeared like a savior...

Lei Huanxi pushed the first girl towards the shore, and the security guards quickly pulled her up.

"Kid, be careful," Ma Zi said gratefully, but before he finished, Lei Huanxi had already swum away.

Ma Zi then realized what was happening and kicked one of his subordinates on the buttocks: "What the hell are you waiting for? Go save the others!"

The security guard had just entered the water when Lei Huanxi had already swum to the boat, his speed was truly astonishing.

Lei Huanxi rescued the two girls who had fallen into the water.

One of the girls had swallowed a lot of water and was rolling her eyes when she was rescued, but after a doctor from the village hospital checked her, she was fine.

The two male companions thanked him repeatedly, and Ma Zi rolled his eyes: "You two big guys, when the girls fell into the water, you ran away first. Are you even men?"

He was really angry; if one of them hadn't been saved, who could bear the responsibility?

The two men turned red and couldn't say a word.

Ma Zi's face quickly changed, and he smiled, giving Lei Huanxi a thumbs up: "Good job, kid. Go change into dry clothes at the village committee... Hey, what are you all standing there for? Take the two girls to the village hospital for a thorough check-up, and I'll personally accompany the kid to the village committee..."

...

When Secretary Miao heard about the accident, he was both angry and worried. But when he heard that the people who had fallen into the water had been rescued, he felt relieved. Then he saw that the hero was Lei Huanxi, and his face lit up with a smile:

"Good job, Huanxi. You're a lucky star. As for that old Xu... forget it, forget it. A big reward, definitely a big reward."

"No need, Secretary Miao. I'm fine anyway," Lei Huanxi said, still shocked by his incredible speed. He quickly thanked Secretary Miao.

Strange? How did he become such a swimming champion? Could it have something to do with Xiao Pang?

Lei Huanxi wasn't wrong.

The magical walnut contained a large amount of spiritual energy, which had kept Xiao Pang alive until now. When Xiao Pang woke up from his thousand-year sleep that night, most of the spiritual energy from the walnut entered Lei Huanxi's body, with only a small part being absorbed by Xiao Pang.

This was why, when Xiao Pang was born, he looked like a silkworm and not at all like a dragon.

The walnut's spiritual energy had completely transformed Lei Huanxi's body. To some extent, Lei Huanxi's body had already surpassed the normal human range.

Rivers, lakes, and seas are the world of dragons, and Lei Huanxi's performance in the water could only be described as astonishing.

"Secretary Miao, Secretary Miao," Ma Zi rushed in and whispered a few words in Secretary Miao's ear.

"Oh? Such a thing? Please come in quickly," Secretary Miao said hurriedly, then turned to Lei Huanxi: "Huanxi, do you know the head coach of the provincial swimming team?"

"No, I don't," Lei Huanxi said, puzzled.

A moment later, four men and one woman walked in. The leader shook hands with Secretary Miao and introduced himself: "Secretary Miao, hello. I am Shi Shunzhong, the head coach of the provincial swimming team."

"Coach Shi, hello," Secretary Miao said politely. "The head coach of the provincial swimming team is here, why didn't you notify us in advance?"

"We were originally going to Yun Dong to look at some prospects and then came to Yanhu Village for a visit. It's a private matter, so we didn't want to disturb you," Shi Shunzhong smiled and then turned his gaze to Lei Huanxi: "You're the young man who saved the girls, right?"

Lei Huanxi nodded, and Secretary Miao introduced him: "This is Lei Huanxi, a graduate of Yun Dong University. After graduation, he returned to his hometown to build a new rural area. He's from the neighboring Xiantao Village."

Shi Shunzhong seemed to have heard this for the first time: "Lei Huanxi, have you ever learned to swim?"

"A little dog paddle," Lei Huanxi said honestly.

"Dog paddle?" Shi Shunzhong laughed. "What you did in the water was not dog paddle. To be honest, none of my team members can match your speed. Even in the national team, I can't think of anyone who can match your speed."

Lei Huanxi himself couldn't understand what was happening.

"How old are you this year?"

"22."

"22?" Shi Shunzhong frowned. "It seems our selection criteria have a big problem. A swimming genius like you was buried in the countryside for 22 years. Lei Huanxi, do you want to join the swimming team?"

"No," Lei Huanxi said without hesitation.

"Oh," the people around Shi Shunzhong exclaimed in surprise.

Although Shi Shunzhong was only the head coach of the provincial team, he was well-known nationwide and had trained nine national champions. Recently, the national team was planning to appoint him as the deputy head coach.

Many people wanted to be his disciples, but this young man named Lei Huanxi had flatly refused.

Shi Shunzhong wasn't too concerned. Although he was famous, a young man from the countryside probably hadn't heard of him, and this required patience:

"Lei Huanxi, you may not fully understand... Generally, once you join our provincial team, you have a significant advantage. With your conditions, you can achieve results after a period of training, and then joining the national team shouldn't be a problem..."

He kept persuading Lei Huanxi, talking about the benefits of being his disciple.

"Coach Shi," Lei Huanxi listened patiently: "If I join the provincial team, do I have to train every day?"

"Of course," Shi Shunzhong nodded. "Strict, difficult, and practical training with high volume is the key to our success in international sports..."

Lei Huanxi was even less willing: "Coach Shi, I really appreciate the opportunity you've given me. But I'm very lazy, and I don't think I can stay in such training for long. Besides, I have a peach orchard to take care of at home."

Shi Shunzhong was taken aback.

He had offered such a great opportunity to this young man, but he said he wanted to take care of a peach orchard? Joining the provincial team and then the national team was a great honor.

No matter how much Shi Shunzhong tried to persuade him, Lei Huanxi firmly refused. He had no real interest in joining the swimming team; he had too many things to do at home.

Secretary Miao, however, was secretly pleased. He had a good eye for people and, from the first moment he saw Lei Huanxi, he believed this young man would have a bright future. He had to find a way to bring him to Yanhu Village.

Unlike Old Xu, he knew how to use people.

He called the slightly dejected Shi Shunzhong aside: "Coach Shi, I've known Lei Huanxi since he was a child, and he's very stubborn. How about this, you leave your phone number, and I'll work on him. Once I convince him, I'll be the first to let you know."

With no other options, Shi Shunzhong left his phone number with Secretary Miao and Lei Huanxi, and made one last effort, asking Lei Huanxi to call him as soon as he changed his mind, and he would send a car to pick him up.

Lei Huanxi was somewhat distracted, still thinking about why he could swim so fast. Could it be that Xiao Pang had secreted dragon saliva on him while he was sleeping?

Considering Xiao Pang's character, it seemed unlikely.
