Orc Undead Sports Warrior

His behavior made Lu Wei laugh. "You think I'm being too polite?"

However, upon reflection, Shen Liang's confidence wasn't unfounded. Among the three 100-meter team members, his characteristics were the most distinctive.

Although he looks very thin, he has excellent leg strength. Combined with his height of just over 1.7 meters, this gives him a significant advantage at the start.

Even Tyson Gay was almost led astray by him during the preliminary rounds of the World Championships.

This is partly due to Guy not wanting to go all out in the preliminaries, but it also shows that if his physical condition is not good, he may still lose to Shen Liang in the future.

At least for now, it seems that Shen Liang's efforts have significantly improved his career prospects.

"How about we clear two straight sections now, and we walk each section 100 meters apart?"

Lu Wei thought he would try to undermine the kid's confidence the first time he saw him, so that he could quickly return to a normal mindset.

"Come on then, I'm not afraid of you. Let's not wait any longer, let's start now!"

The two of them cleared a straight section of the track. At this point, many people had finished training and were doing stretching or basic exercises, so leaving them two lanes was not too difficult.

"You're asking for a beating in the 100 meters. I overtook you so badly a few months ago that you couldn't even see your way around. Now you'd better get ready to eat my dust. It's a shame it's not a cinder track. You're lucky, kid. Be grateful for the help that technological advancements have given you!"

Lu Wei recalled how he had defeated his opponent in the later stages of the last match, and felt that today's challenge was not too great.

"Hey, look at these two brothers, they're fighting again!"

Everyone still remembers the duel between Lu Wei and Shen Liang at the Yuecheng training base, and they are all very interested to see the two of them have another match.

Before long, people training nearby came to watch and join in the fun. There were few interesting things to do during winter training, so everyone was quite happy to see two athletes racing 100 meters.

"Lu Wei, don't be fooled by your victory over me last time, I'm still not afraid of you this time!"

Shen Liang still looked indignant as he spoke; this team member's mental fortitude was indeed quite strong.

The two quickly set up the starting blocks. Wang Qiao walked towards the finish line, while Lu Wei grabbed Zhang Yuanteng and gave the starting signal. A 1-on-1 match was about to begin.

"Who do you think will win this match? They both look so determined to win, it's hard to choose!"

"Don't embarrass yourself, this is your first time participating in training! Lu Wei beat Shen Liang last time, I don't think he'll change much this time!"

"Who cares? Let's watch the show! Why do you all start arguing whenever there's a match? Can't people even watch a duel anymore?!"

As the two were about to start running, everyone started chattering amongst themselves. Now, all they needed to see the movie was a bag of sunflower seeds.

"On your marks... get set!"

"Bang!" After Zhang Yuanteng fired the starting gun, the two of them jumped off the starting blocks almost at the same time.

"Their reaction times are about the same!" After seeing the two start running, Wang Qiao nodded. Lu Wei was probably influenced by Shen Liang. The two were competing with each other, so they were both very focused at the start and their reaction times should be good.

However, then you see Shen Liang's two calves constantly twisting under his body, almost disappearing from view. It feels like he can run several steps in the time it takes Lu Wei to run one.

The characteristics of a small, powerful athlete become apparent at this point. Relying on his extremely fast stride frequency and excellent leg strength, Shen Liang pulled ahead of Lu Wei by more than 1 meter in the first 30 meters.

The two men are so different in build that Shen Liang has a significant advantage at the start of his career.

This scenario was expected by everyone. If Shen Liang couldn't maintain an advantage over the other team members at this distance, then he would basically be completely uncompetitive.

His starting advantage is not only in Asia, but he also often gains the upper hand when facing Black athletes.

This time, Lu Wei was not disturbed by Shen Liang too much. It was impossible to be completely unaffected. He could not help but see the two legs circling around him, because they were right in front of him.

After reaching 50 meters, Lu Wei finally started to accelerate to his peak speed. At this time, Shen Liang had almost reached his top speed, but Lu Wei had already stabilized the situation.

Next came the task of quickly closing the gap. Maintaining such an abnormal stride frequency in the later stages was extremely difficult, so Shen Liang slowed down a bit. At this moment, Lu Wei reached his peak speed.

With almost no effort, Lu Wei overtook Shen Liang by more than 2 meters. In the last 5 meters, Lu Wei started to run like he was strolling, and when he reached the finish line, he gave Shen Liang a mischievous grin.

"What are you so proud of! You only won once? Once I've mastered it, I'll come and beat you every day!"

Shen Liang still looked smug and confident, showing no signs of discouragement despite losing the match.

"Hmm, Xiao Shen ran pretty well too, he's definitely a tough one! Your personalities are likely to spark, which is good for both of you to learn from each other, not bad!"

That's enough training for today! Tomorrow morning after warm-up, we'll have a few more shorter-distance training races. This time, Lu Wei's chances of winning probably won't be as high as in the 100 meters!

Wang Qiao glanced at his watch; it was almost lunchtime, so he sent the two of them to eat first. Training should be done gradually; you can't expect to get fat in one meal.

Lu Wei has a full training schedule for the afternoon; lately, he's been training sprints mainly in the mornings. Besides, he also needs to discuss the training details further with Shen Liang's head coach, Zou Zhen.

When Wang Qiao arrived at the Haigeng training base, he discovered that not many of the original coaches followed their players into the national team after they joined the national team.

For example, when Shen Liang, Zhang Yuanteng, and Hu Kai rejoined the national team, the head coach became Zou Zhen.

……

The next morning, while Shen Liang was still fast asleep in bed, someone banged on his door.

"Who is it?! Are you crazy?! What time is it? Why are you banging on other people's doors? You're such a disgrace!"

Shen Liang was very annoyed. He glanced at his watch; it was only 6:30. Usually, he would be fast asleep by this time. He wondered who was so blind as to bang on his door.

"Get up, you lazybones! If you're any later you could go straight to lunch!"

Lu Wei and Shen Liang started bickering through the door. He usually gets up at this time, and since Shen Liang was going to train with him, he decided to get Shen Liang up too.

"Shen Liang! Get out of here right now! I can finally get some sleep if you leave! Hurry up, don't be so indecisive, he'll keep banging on me and I won't be able to sleep!"

Zhang Yuanteng was also urging Shen Liang inside the room. He felt that there was no chance of reasoning with Lu Wei, so he might as well let Shen Liang go out and have some peace and quiet.

"You go ahead, I'll wash up and be there shortly!"

Under the combined attack from both inside and outside Zhang Yuanteng and Lu Wei, Shen Liang finally gave in.
