Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi

Chapter 489 340: Apologizing in Person (2)

Ever since Wang Ye appeared in that promotional video showcasing sprinting and released it, many athletes with some understanding of the sprinting event realized that Wang Ye's sprinting techniques seemed extraordinarily strong; almost unbelievably so. When they tried to analyze the video frame by frame using various apps, the results were even more astonishing. Many calculated that Wang Ye's current hundred-meter time had actually surpassed eight seconds.

Moreover, the video showed no signs of acceleration or editing,

as any accelerated or edited video can be detected by a special kind of software,

Some experienced individuals can even tell at a glance if a video or image has been tampered with, given most market framerates and resolutions are fixed. Having seen enough images and videos, they imprint these fixed framerates and resolution formats into their subconscious. When they see a video or picture, their subconscious immediately informs them whether the work has been altered.

If the promotional video had been accelerated or edited, it would have definitely been discovered,

but despairingly, the video was not accelerated at all—in fact, it was slightly slowed down.

Because certain segments and key frames needed to slow down slightly to match the BGM.

Although many people did not precisely guess Wang Ye's results from the promotional video, one thing is certain—Wang Ye's hundred-meter time is much faster than Bolt, Su God, or others, perhaps entering an eight-second or even seven-second realm unperceived by humanity.

And now Su God easily broke through to 9.23 under Wang Ye's guidance,

further confirming everyone's suspicions.

Just one night has passed, countless people are desperate to come to Chengdu to watch this training camp,

while those who withdrew from the camp prematurely are grinding their molars in frustration,

regretting their earlier decisions.

If they hadn't been so impatient to leave the camp early, they'd have learned from Wang Ye for three more days.

Though three days don't seem much, considering Su God improved his time in just three days under Wang Ye, despite more such periods to come, many feel it's a huge loss.

Meanwhile,

outside the track and field training base in Chengdu.

Wang Ye, having completed a whole night of training, was descending from the nearby mountains, preparing to return to the track and field training base.

At the moment,

Wu Yanni, in the hotel nearby adjusting clothes,

happens to see Wang Ye descending from the mountains.

She suddenly gets curious, why is Wang Ye coming down from the mountain so early?

But upon seeing the sports bag and the athletic t-shirt Wang Ye was carrying, she immediately realizes Wang Ye must have been training on the mountain.

Although this outfit may not exclusively be worn during training, she once saw Wang Ye wearing the same gear in a video of him training on a mountain in Shenzhen.

At that time, Wang Ye would occasionally post videos of throwing and brick-breaking, seemingly fitting the martial arts blogger category, specifically the kind practicing Muay Thai and Iron Sand Palm. So no matter how well Wang Ye performed abroad later, Wu Yanni remained somewhat skeptical because these juggling-like martial arts videos seemed vulgar to her.

But now, having witnessed Su God's substantial improvement, she lets go of her disbelief.

Still, why did Wang Ye go to the mountains to train so early? Knowing that mountain paths are arduous at dawn, and there's no lighting on mountain tops at night. Most travelers aiming to watch sunsets would start climbing the afternoon before, camping on the summit overnight for sunrise.

The likeliest scenario is Wang Ye spent a night on the mountain.

Wu Yanni's eyes narrow as she suddenly grasps an astounding possibility.

Could Wang Ye be leading them through training camps during the day and training himself up on the mountain at night?

Indeed, someone as hardworking as Wang Ye wouldn't cease training over these fifteen days of camp. Over all these days, they've hardly once seen Wang Ye train physically, the sole possibility being him secretly training up the mountain at night.

Having spent all day yesterday practicing Tai Chi with Wang Ye, he naturally knows just how draining Tai Chi is, although it appears slow-motion like exercises lasting less than elementary broadcast gymnastics, working it out reveals the intense muscle and bone challenge posed by Primordial Qi movements.

During these practices, his muscles need constant contraction, activating Meridian Qi, syncing with muscle contractions to unleash thunderous explosive powers,

while steadily, Primordial Qi consumption subtly drains energy. Given beginners have limited internal Qi, after a full day of practice feels like an all-nighter.

Wang Ye's actions being so precise likely drain him just as much.

Yet after a full day of Tai Chi instruction, Wang Ye still trains on the mountain at night?

Not even mentioning what he practices on the mountain.

Just climbing up and down the mountain is a severe endurance test,

not even an athlete like Wu Yanni claims she can ascend and descend Qionglai Mountain Range in one go.

"This guy…doesn't need rest, does he…"

Wu Yanni's eyes filled with astonishment, but before she could look longer, Wang Ye suddenly glanced in her direction,

that gaze astoundingly sharp, akin to an eagle's eyes seeming to peer directly into one's soul.

With just one stare, her heartbeat pauses momentarily.

Frightened, she quickly averts her gaze, drawing her curtains.

Simultaneously, she feels puzzled as the hotel she's staying at is more than five hundred meters away from where Wang Ye is, such a distance doesn't usually show facial details clearly, how did Wang Ye notice someone watching him from the hotel?

"Though it's also possible he didn't actually notice, perhaps only glanced casually this way?" Wu Yanni thought for a bit, shook her head, only considering herself overthinking.

Before long,

the time reached eight forty.

Just when the training camp starts.

Wang Ye had already arrived at the training field,

The number of athletes present in the training field far outstrip those from yesterday several fold.

The thirty-some athletes who prematurely quit a few days ago,

today have all hurried back to Chengdu overnight, returning here,

given Wang Ye's imposing aura, many don't dare approach, so they first find assistant coach Jiang Yuan, to apply rejoining the training camp.

But Jiang Yuan, facing these athletes' requests, only shook his head helplessly, as he wasn't the main coach but just an assistant, often a handyman for Wang Ye's assistant coach role, didn't actually fill the coaching duty, granting and most the participants here had offended Wang Ye to some extent, Jiang Yuan dared not decided to let them back into the camp on his own.

Such matters are Wang Ye's to decide.

After being rejected by Jiang Yuan, these individuals exchanged glances,

then sighed.

Evidently, they must apologize to Wang Ye.

Hesitant for long, they come before Wang Ye.

First apologizing, admitting it was their fault leaving the training camp, and exposing him teaching Tai Chi online also was their mistake.

Standing stoic as he heard their apology, Wang Ye spoke not a word,

finally, a brave athlete posed a question:

"We wish to rejoin the training camp and continue learning from you, is that possible?"
