Chapter 472: Chapter 332: We Went Through All This Trouble to Join the Training Camp, and You’re Teaching Us Tai Chi?

A male athlete, about 1.85 meters tall, stepped forward and asked:

"Su God, how long in advance do you come to warm up?"

Su Bingtian took out a towel from his sports bag and wiped the sweat off his cheeks, pondering, "About six o’clock, I came around six."

The surrounding athletes were instantly surprised, then sighed, "As expected of Su God, training so diligently."

Although they are all top athletes, their training is far from as rigorous as Su Bingtian’s, at most they used to get up at six in the morning during school to train.

Nowadays, under the guidance of national team coaches, they’ve all realized the importance of rest; no matter how hard you train, if you don’t rest adequately, you can’t effectively increase your abilities, so most people now easily slack off.

But it’s undeniable that training as hard as Su Bingtian probably really works; after all, the record-breaking performance in Asia is right in front of them.

However, training like this, can he still have the energy to train after the collective training starts later?

You must know that later in the collective training, the one teaching them will be the legendary Wang Ye.

Most of them have only heard of Wang Ye by name, but they all know his physical fitness and achievements in various sports, and a person with such physical attributes doesn’t have low training intensity?

From their experience, the higher the coach’s own ability, the stricter the training will be for others. Because such people are hard on others and even harder on themselves, especially like Wang Ye who holds multiple world records in sports, his demands for technical perfection are likely extreme.

They can imagine how Wang Ye would reprimand them if they made a mistake in a technical maneuver during the collective training later.

However, Su Bingtian is already exhausted from training now, how will he train later?

So while those around him looked at Su Bingtian with admiration, some were also worried.

Yet Su Bingtian himself showed no sign of worry on his face, instead displaying an irrepressible smile.

Only he knew the extent of his gains in the past two hours.

From six to eight o’clock, within these two hours, he sprinted more than twenty times on this hundred-meter track, exhausting himself completely, and every time he finished, Wang Ye would offer guidance.

What surprised him most was that each time after he finished running, Wang Ye’s guidance would address his soul, pinpointing his flaws and many issues he had never realized.

Su Bingtian initially heard from Wang Ye about these never-before-heard techniques and was somewhat skeptical. Things like meridian contraction, Dantian protrusion, bone shift, and so on—strange terms that sounded like they came out of a fantasy novel.

Moreover, the content was abstract; without abstract thinking, one couldn’t keep up with Wang Ye’s thought process.

But ever since Su Bingtian corrected an issue according to Wang Ye’s guidance and tried running once on the track, he completely accepted it.

Because the improvement was indeed very noticeable!

Although he hadn’t specifically tested it with an electronic timer, he could clearly feel it; his running speed had increased, and by quite a lot!

Just the starting run was about 0.5 seconds faster than before, with stride frequency and stride length undergoing a radical change, no longer fixed at forty-eight steps but varied between forty to fifty steps. Per logic, such variation isn’t necessarily a good thing as it implies instability in performance when running, and frequent changes in stride frequency and stride length could lead the nerves to not adapt to actions, hindering the muscles’ explosive power. If seen by other coaches, they’d definitely be reprimanded.

But these changes had a non-adverse, rather beneficial impact on his overall running.

Because he ran more smoothly; previously under American coaches, after changing leg starts, although his performance improved, it felt somewhat uncomfortable while running, often feeling slightly impeded during the start, and emitting force felt vaguely blocked, as if doing so violated his instincts.

Now under Wang Ye’s guidance, his starts were entirely smooth and natural, just like casual strolling, even when running at full strength with no aftereffects or sense of obstruction.

Wang Ye’s explanation for this was an adjustment of his Primordial Qi flow during force emission, and essentially, there’s no difference between starting with the left leg or the right leg, except for those who can’t mobilize Primordial Qi, there may be slight sensitivity discrepancies between limbs due to some pollution in the consciousness seas of the left and right brain, forming a passage barrier.

But under Wang Ye’s guidance, these slight discrepancies can be perfectly removed, and because the pollution between the left and right brains is completely eradicated, the flow of Primordial Qi throughout the body also becomes smoother.

Although Su Bingtian listened in a fog,

this peculiar feeling indeed overturned all his previous perceptions of Running,

In the past, he never knew Running could be so effortless.

In the past, he never knew training could be so fun.

In the past, he never knew that all he did was merely inefficient toil...

Therefore, after these two hours of one-on-one guidance, he felt completely renewed; even though exhausted, his heart was without any regret, instead feeling that he gained.

However, this stuff was entirely unknown to the other athletes around him.
