Chapter 58 Record
Zhang Nianzu was still standing on the runway in the end.
Liu Laoliu took out a stopwatch and said, "Remember, keep running forward at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. Don't let up."
Zhang Nianzu nodded. Although he was a little skeptical, he decided to give it a try.
Liu Laoliu asked again: "Have you ever run long distances before?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "I ran 5,000 meters when I was in school."
Liu Laoliu frowned and said, "Then you should run the 5,000 meters as if it were a 100 meters, otherwise it won't work - start!" He pressed the stopwatch.
Zhang Nianzu rushed out like the wind.
When people run at full speed, especially when there is no reference point, they will have the illusion that "they are running really fast", and then they will feel tired immediately. Zhang Nianzu is no exception. When he ran 400 meters at a sprint speed, he felt his thighs swell and swell. It was as if an invisible wall appeared in front of him, blocking Zhang Nianzu's figure. Liu Laoliu shouted coldly from behind him: "Run faster, this is just the end!"
Zhang Nianzu was shocked and forced himself to continue sprinting. When he returned to the starting point after a lap, Liu Laoliu jumped up and shouted, "Keep going! Your muscles have already recorded your upper limit this time. If you stop now, you will suffer again next time."
Zhang Nianzu was already out of breath at this time. He felt as if his legs were filled with lead and could hardly lift them. But after listening to Liu Laoliu's words, he continued to struggle with his legs.
One lap, two laps, when Zhang Nianzu finished one kilometer, Zhuge Daofeng came over and looked at the stopwatch and said, "How is it?"
Liu Laoliu shook his head: "There is still a long way to go. It seems that there is a big gap between sub-strong people and warriors. He can't even surpass the world record set by ordinary people..." At this time, Zhang Nianzu finished another lap. He looked at Liu Laoliu with pleading eyes. Liu Laoliu raised his hand and said, "Don't look at me. If you don't run until you vomit blood, you will regret it!"
Zhang Nianzu roared like an angry beast and ran away again.
Xiahou Pili asked uncertainly, "Sixth Master, what did you just say? World record? This kid is almost catching up with the world record after just one run?"
Liu Laoliu glanced at him and said, "Is it something to be proud of for a rabbit to catch up with a tortoise? It shows that this kid used to live a very leisurely life . No one forced him or harmed him. His situation is like a player who has just entered a new map. As long as he explores, he will leave a record. As a result, he has been wandering around in the initial territory. Fortunately, it is not too late to work hard now."
Zhuge Daofeng sat down on the ground and said, "This is so unfair, it's like cheating."
Liu Laoliu said: "The hook has always been on him, but he just didn't turn it on."
Zhuge Daofeng said angrily: "When can we beat him up?"
…
Four laps, five laps, Liu Laoliu checked his stopwatch and suddenly said calmly, "He has tied the 5,000-meter world record from the last Olympics."
Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili: "..."
Zhang Nianzu didn't know that there were two people outside the field who were full of envy, jealousy and resentment towards him. He just forced himself to run as fast as he could. Although he thought that this might be his best result so far, he was exhausted. When he ran to the seventh lap, he obviously wanted to give up. Liu Laoliu clapped his hands and stamped his feet and shouted in his ear: "Run faster, little brat! What are you afraid of? Your heart won't stop, and your lungs won't explode. Every lap you run now will increase your physical strength limit by 500 meters. You must kill it all in one go!"
Zhang Nianzu was stunned and didn't dare to stay.
Eight laps, nine laps, ten laps!
When Zhang Nianzu had just finished running ten kilometers, Zhuge Daofeng took a look at the data in Liu Laoliu's hand and couldn't help but say, "Break it! He broke the world record for 10,000 meters!"
"How many points did it break?" asked Xiahou Pili.
“That’s three points faster than the record.”
The two looked at each other in shock. Although the world record of long-distance running is not as difficult as the world record of short-distance running, the difference of four or five seconds is enough to open up a gap. What is three minutes? Three minutes means that you can go to another stadium and watch a 1000-meter race for another 2 minutes and a dozen seconds, and then watch a 110-meter hurdles race, and finally have some time left to smoke a cigarette to calm down...
Zhang Nianzu heard them whispering together, and he unconsciously slowed down his pace, and then lay flat on the ground regardless of everything. Liu Laoliu said in great sorrow: "Why did you stop? It's only ten kilometers!"
Zhang Nianzu panted and said, "I...I can't run anymore."
Liu Laoliu walked up to him, grabbed his hand and placed it on his heart.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Nianzu asked.
Liu Laoliu said angrily, "Feel your heartbeat."
Zhang Nianzu asked in surprise, "What do you mean?" He put his hand on his chest and was suddenly surprised to find that his heartbeat was not as fast as he had imagined, but... just a little faster than usual.
Liu Laoliu stamped his feet and said, "You still don't believe what Master Liu said. You could have gone up to the tenth floor, but you gave up just after reaching the third floor. Next time you want to break through, you have to start from the first floor!"
Zhang Nianzu rolled over and got up. Through this action, he found that it was not as tiring as he had imagined...
Liu Laoliu sighed, but still symbolically shook Zhang Nianzu's hand and said, "Let me tell you some good news. From now on, you won't feel tired even if you do strenuous exercise within ten kilometers."
Zhang Nianzu was surprised and asked, "Really?"
"Well." Liu Laoliu said calmly, "Do you know what this means?"
"What?"
Liu Laoliu chuckled and said, "In the future, if the place you want to go is within ten kilometers, you don't have to take the bus."
Zhang Nianzu was speechless, but he could indeed feel his body changing subtly, because the soreness caused by the intense anaerobic exercise was gradually subsiding. Just as Liu Laoliu said, it was like a person who could originally go up to ten floors only went up to the third floor . Although he felt a little tired, he was far from reaching the load limit.
Zhang Nianzu said excitedly: "Let's do it again later!"
Liu Laoliu said: "Today's physical training ends here, let's practice some other items."
Zhang Nianzu asked, "What to practice ?" He was still in high spirits, as if he had discovered the door to a new world, and was as excited as a child. However, he was soon no longer excited - he saw Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili rubbing their hands and walking towards him with strange smiles.
"Uh..." Zhang Nianzu hesitated, "I apologize for offending you two in the past."
"Apologizing verbally is useless, take some practical action!" Zhuge Daofeng threw a wooden sword to Zhang Nianzu, and then he and Xiahou Pili also showed the same weapons.
“I…” Zhang Nianzu wanted to say something else, but the two of them had already struck a cool pose together and shouted, “Ha!”
"What are you practicing?" Zhang Nianzu turned his head and asked Liu Laoliu guiltily.
"Reaction speed--" Liu Laoliu found a good position and looked like he was ignoring the question.
When he looked back again, Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili had already attacked at the same time!
Crackling——
Zhang Nianzu had just raised his sword to block Zhuge's blade attack when Xiahou Pili hit him hard on the femur. Although this wooden sword did not have the killing power of a sword, it was much more painful than a normal wooden stick. Zhang Nianzu touched his thigh hard and said in a hoarse voice, "Is there no sword manual or something?"
"Will your opponent give you the sword manual when he wants to kill you?" Zhuge Daofeng slashed down with the wooden sword, breaking through Zhang Nianzu's defense with a clever move, and stabbed him back ten steps with the sword tip.
Zhang Nianzu said helplessly: "You are seeking revenge for your personal grudge."
Zhuge Daofeng said angrily: "If you knew what we went through in that pit, you would understand that no matter what we do to you today, it is right!" As he spoke, the wooden sword chopped over again.
Zhang Nianzu tried his best to resist and said with a smile: "How about I treat you two to a meal? How about hot pot?"
Xiahou Pili gnashed his teeth and said, "How dare you rub salt into our wounds? Forget about what you said about eating something else, hot pot——"
Zhuge Daofeng said: "Don't waste time talking to him, just beat him to death, he is unkillable anyway!"
Zhang Nianzu still didn't know how Hotpot had offended them, and he didn't realize before that these two people were actually specially trained and experienced in battle. The two wooden swords were accurate and fierce, and it was painful when they hit his body. Not only was Zhang Nianzu at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but he was also inferior in skills. In addition, he really felt guilty towards these two people, and he couldn't even muster the will to fight to the death. After a while, he was beaten to a point where there was not a single good place on his body.
"Liu Laoliu! Are you doing this for reaction training or for getting beaten?" Zhang Nianzu could only hope that the referee would be fair and just.
Liu Laoliu said lazily: "We all have to practice."
As he was speaking, Zhang Nianzu was hit a dozen times more. He could no longer bear the beating and could only use the special skill he had just learned - running away!
Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili looked at each other and said in unison: "Chase!"
Just like that, Zhang Nianzu ran as fast as he could in the front, and the two men chased him like crazy in the back. In the first three or four hundred meters, the three of them could be said to be running neck and neck. The wooden swords of the two men could occasionally sweep Zhang Nianzu's shoulders and lower back. But after four hundred meters, Zhang Nianzu was far ahead, and Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili were left further and further behind by him. Zhuge Daofeng panted, "I'll chase, and you block!"
It must be said that the two of them had a very good understanding of each other. Xiahou Pili deliberately slowed down his pace and took advantage of Zhang Nianzu turning a corner to chase him sideways. He had clearly been waiting for a long time, but when he was only two steps away from stopping Zhang Nianzu, he saw the other party running past him like a machine with a full spring. Xiahou Pili saw the opportunity very quickly and immediately shouted, "It's your turn to stop him!"
Zhuge and Xiahou exchanged roles, Zhuge Daofeng went to the front, so they each ran half the distance less than Zhang Nianzu, but Zhang Nianzu still managed to escape. Neither of them gave up, blocking the other in the east and the other in the west, the three figures ran and chased in the stadium, it was a bit suspenseful at the beginning, but the pursuers became weaker and weaker later, Zhang Nianzu ran around and didn't care at all, about 20 minutes later, Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili were already out of breath and couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
Zhuge Daofeng bent over and pressed his hands hard towards Xiahou Pili: "We are just two idiots. Do you know why?"
Xiahou Pili said with a sad face: "Because the guy we are chasing just broke the 10,000-meter world record by three minutes - we shouldn't have let him practice his physical strength first!"
