Chapter 477 - 334: Change in Attitude (Part 2)
But today, their expressions turned serious,
clearly realizing that the Tai Chi taught by Wang Ye seemed quite extraordinary.
The reason they quickly noticed the changes in their bodies was that yesterday’s training with Wang Ye practicing Tai Chi was incredibly easy, so after the group training, they went back and trained extra.
It wasn’t until they practiced more that they suddenly became aware of the changes in their bodies.
Training Tai Chi with Wang Ye, the additional scores of Primordial Qi in their bodies directly elevated their neural recruitment ability by several levels.
Although their skill levels in movement hadn’t changed, their athletic performance improved markedly,
even two athletes accidentally broke their personal records. They had maintained high-intensity training for many years and were very sensitive to their physical condition, so they naturally wouldn’t foolishly think that it was just a good state that broke their personal records. On careful thought, it must be the Tai Chi taught by Wang Ye that brought the improvement.
Because the only special thing they did yesterday was practicing a day of Tai Chi with Wang Ye, and during the training movements of Tai Chi, they also noticed a peculiar Qi sensitivity in their bodies. However, they didn’t pay attention at the time. It wasn’t until they went back for training at night and found their physiques had noticeably improved that they realized Tai Chi indeed enhanced their performance.
However, these two athletes only managed to break their personal records and couldn’t break higher ones, like the national record, world record.
But Su Bingtian directly broke the world record in the 100-meter sprint yesterday.
Thinking carefully about this actually provides a reasonable explanation.
Su Bingtian’s progress was actually a two-dimensional combination of skill improvement and physique enhancement, because he not only trained Tai Chi with Wang Ye yesterday, but also improved his sprinting techniques under Wang Ye’s guidance in the morning.
While others only improved their physiques, they couldn’t yet touch the world-record level.
At this time, Wang Ye, standing in front, swept a glance at all the athletes present,
and roughly counted the number.
Seventeen people.
Eight fewer than in the afternoon.
Moreover, apart from the seven athletes who realized the extraordinary nature of Tai Chi, the other athletes still did not understand why Wang Ye was teaching Tai Chi. They merely guessed that Wang Ye might change the training plan today, so they stayed to continue participating in group training.
Wang Ye wasn’t anxious and called Jiang Yuan over to reorganize the remaining seventeen athletes on-site, and then continued to stand in front and teach the Tai Chi moves. He had roughly taught the moves yesterday, so today he would start to formally teach more in-depth techniques.
The seven athletes, led by Su Bingtian, all displayed the standard starting posture. At the instant the movement began, the familiar sensation of Qi emerged again throughout their meridians, and at the same time, their previously somewhat poor spirits suddenly refreshed, like instantly ingesting a large amount of caffeine, but without the panic and palpitations that caffeine brings. All that was left was pure clarity and abundant energy.
Like the autumn morning in the mountains, taking a deep breath of pure and fresh air, it felt like both body and mind were washed anew.
Meanwhile their breathing also gradually became long and slow, the breathing rate slowed considerably, but this did not affect their oxygen intake ability at all, the muscle strength exerted remained as strong as ever, even stronger than before.
You know athletes, due to maintaining high-intensity training for many years, have heart pumping volume and oxygen intake far beyond ordinary people, regardless of heart rate or breathing rate, are lower than normal people,
and now after cultivating Tai Chi, their heart rate and breathing rate are even lower than before, especially the athlete with the most formidable physical ability, Su Bingtian,
almost only breathing once every ten seconds. If they increase their breathing frequency according to this single oxygen intake amount, then a breathing rate of 15 times per minute might withstand the oxygen consumption of high-intensity exercise.
Realizing the changes in their bodies, they became even more convinced of their speculation.
Continuing to follow Wang Ye in practicing the next moves.
However, unlike them.
Seeing Wang Ye continuing to repeat the Tai Chi teachings from yesterday,
the other athletes’ faces suddenly grew dark.
One female athlete specializing in the hundred-meter hurdles project finally couldn’t hold back,
she said coldly: "You don’t really intend to have us practice Tai Chi for half a month, right? Don’t think that just because you have some achievements you can waste our time."
Wang Ye calmly said: "Those who don’t want to participate in the group training can leave at any time, tickets can be reimbursed by me."
This female athlete surnamed Wu, also a relatively high-profile athlete recently, participated in the July Paris Olympics,
but she did not achieve outstanding results on the field, only ranking sixth in her group, failing to enter the semifinals. Although the results weren’t outstanding, she became an "Internet celebrity" among athletes because of her distinctive personality. Now, she already has a million fans online.
"You!" The Wu-surnamed female athlete’s face immediately flushed red,
she wanted to rebut something but couldn’t find an argument to fight back.
Indeed, Wang Ye never stopped them,
they could leave the group training at any time,
and even their round-trip air tickets could be reimbursed by Wang Ye,
strictly speaking, they hardly lost anything, and even got a free trip to Chengdu.
Moreover, because it was group training, meals and drinks could be reimbursed using public funds,
so venting their frustration at Wang Ye was indeed somewhat unreasonable.
The female athlete seemed to realize she was being unreasonable,
snorted coldly, and directly grabbed her bag and left the base.
But the seven athletes who trained seriously weren’t disturbed in the slightest,
still focused on practicing the moves with Wang Ye,
other athletes were about to follow the female athlete and leave,
but seeing the posture of the seven athletes led by Su Bingtian,
couldn’t help but grow curious, so they stayed at the base planning to continue observing.
Time slipped away bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, the morning passed.
After the morning group training class ended,
an athlete who hadn’t learned Tai Chi couldn’t help but approach Su Bingtian, inquiring:
"Su God, isn’t this ordinary Tai Chi? How come you all practice so seriously?"
"Ordinary Tai Chi?" Su Bingtian couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, "No wonder, you probably haven’t seriously listened to what Wang Ye has taught from yesterday to today, have you?"
"No, why? Is there anything special about what he taught?" The athlete scratched his head.
Su Bingtian: "I can’t explain it for a moment, sit here and rest for a while, I’ll go get the electronic timer."
The athlete, suspicious, said: "Electronic timer? What do you want to do?"
"Just wait and see." Su Bingtian quickly left from here.
About half a minute later, he returned to the track with a brand new electronic timer.
And placed the starting device from the base at the front end of the track,
but he didn’t use a tape measure to measure the position of the starting device as rigorously as before.
Just casually installed the starting device, at a roughly right spot.
At this time, several athletes who hadn’t left yet were attracted by Su Bingtian’s attention.
They came over, curiously asked:
"Su God, are you planning to practice a bit more?"
Su Bingtian just smiled, not answering, and after starting the electronic timer, he stepped on the starting device, making the crouching start posture.
Seeing this, the surrounding athletes became interested too, this was Su God’s training process, which would cost money outside, now they could watch for free, naturally had to observe carefully.
After everyone sat down by the track, Su Bingtian suddenly started.
Phew!!!
A more formidable breaking sound than yesterday suddenly rang out.
Only to see Su Bingtian fly out like lightning,
in the blink of an eye, he crossed the line.
And on the screen of the electronic timer,
there appeared a line of digital numbers.
