Orc Undead Sports Warrior

Because of the tournament format, the opponents in the group stage aren't particularly important. If you want to reach the finals, you have to go all out in this one match, no matter what.

"Hey, not bad this time. Being in the same group as Lu Wei can improve your score a bit. Good luck to you guys, haha!"

Zhang Yuanteng and Lu Wei were in the same group, while the other team members were in different groups. In the past, the teammates who complained that Lu Wei took up a spot in the next round were now eager to be in the same group as him.

Lu Wei and Zhang Yuanteng were assigned to the first group, Wen Ningyi to the second group, Shen Liang to the fourth group, and Hu Huo to the last group.

The two strongest players in the first group didn't feel much pressure at all.

Sure enough, Lu Wei took the lead as soon as the race started, and Zhang Yuanteng found that he didn't have much of an advantage over Lu Wei at the start.

He is 1.85 meters tall. Usually, he only needs to barely keep up with his opponents at the start. His advantage lies in the later stages of the race.

She originally thought that when she was with Lu Wei, she could at least be on par with him in front, since she was at least half a head shorter, which should have been an advantage.

Unexpectedly, after Lu Wei started running, the gap between him and the early stages of the race significantly decreased. From the beginning to the middle and later stages, Zhang Yuanteng gritted his teeth and followed behind Lu Wei, as long as the gap between the two wasn't too large.

With about ten meters to go, Lu Wei had already started to accelerate, completely ignoring Zhang Yuanteng's situation. Even at this pace, with his current ability, he could still run under 10.1 seconds, a time that would be virtually unbeatable in China.

Seeing Lu Wei slow down, Zhang Yuanteng also slowed down after running a few steps. Reaching the finals in the domestic competition was not a problem for him.

The race is over. Lu Wei's time was 10.06 seconds and Zhang Yuanteng's time was 10.21 seconds. Both of them are sure to make it to the final.

"Having someone to guide you makes all the difference. It felt like I didn't exert any effort at all to get to 10.2 seconds. Let's see how these other guys struggle!"

Zhang Yuanteng was panting heavily, still muttering to himself.

Lu Wei, standing next to him, looked completely calm and collected. Running the 100-meter dash was now as easy as child's play for him.

"Lu Wei, when does the shot put competition start? You can't sit still for long before you have to prepare for the competition again, can you?"

On the way back to the audience seats, Zhang Yuanteng turned around and chatted with Lu Wei.

"The program says 10 o'clock. If we arrive 20 minutes early, we'll have about an hour left, so there's no rush."

In Lu Wei's view, there is basically no suspense in the domestic competitions he participates in now; he just needs to complete the competition normally.

"I feel like domestic competitions are no longer a reliable way to assess Lu Wei's performance!"

Jiang Jianjun said with a smile that now, apart from the 100-meter race, the other team members and Lu Wei are still somewhat close, and they are not competitive at all in other races.

In these competitions, as long as Lu Wei exerts his strength, the championship is basically his.

"Competitions before the Olympics generally don't last more than two days, and the Golden League is basically over in an afternoon. It's already impressive to participate in two competitions in such a short time, especially field events, where there are often scheduling conflicts. If we want to see Lu Wei's physical condition, this is probably the only time we can do it."

Wang Qiao was calculating this year's competitions, and he figured this was probably the only time Lu Wei could practice his multi-front tactics, at least in domestic competitions.

"That's true. To have this kind of experience, these competitions are really lacking. Without participating in major events, these previous competitions are just rehearsals."

This should be Lu Wei's second time participating in a domestic shot put competition since last year's National Championships.

"Lu Wei is here! The domestic competition is more relaxed. As long as you play to your training level, no one should be able to threaten you."

After Lu Wei arrived at the shot put venue for registration, a referee spoke to him.

Upon arriving at the warm-up area, everyone wanted to chat with Lu Wei, even if it was just to say hello. They were all very happy to hear his response.

Thinking back to that guy Zhang Jun last year, he was swaggering around on the field before the competition even started, acting like he was already the world record holder.

Zhang Jun gave Lu Wei a bad impression back then, so when Lu Wei came to the competition this time, he would usually respond when someone greeted him.

Sure enough, everyone who talked to Lu Wei looked very happy, even if they only exchanged a greeting.

In competitive sports, to gain self-respect, one must let results speak for themselves, Lu Wei couldn't help but think to himself. To be honest, the world now is not fundamentally different from the world he came from before he transmigrated, it's just much more peaceful.

To achieve results, you definitely need to put in a lot of effort.

For example, many people now say that Lu Wei is a workaholic. Many people find it difficult to make work their whole life, which is precisely the difference between their attitude towards work and Lu Wei's attitude.

Compared to the world today, Lu Wei's life in his previous life was much more monotonous. Every day was filled with physical and combat training, and if he didn't work hard, he was in danger of dying every minute.

After the game started, Lu Wei felt even more relaxed than during training. Based on his training results, as long as one of his first three shots was valid, he could win the game.

In this state, Lu Wei was more relaxed and had a strong desire to perform.

In his first throw, he tried to add some spin to his body. This throwing footwork was close to the spin limit he could reach, and the shot put was indeed thrown very far, nearly 22 meters on his first throw.

Just as everyone was marveling at the moment, the referee raised the red flag.

"His right foot is caught on the top of the barrier!" With a sigh from the audience, the referee pointed out the foul to Lu Wei.

"Look, the referee is talking to Lu Wei. He's definitely telling him why he committed the foul. When we participated in the competition, the referees never explained their calls. If you went up to ask them, they would get impatient. The difference in treatment is huge!"

Wang Qiao couldn't help but sigh at the difference in treatment.

"Don't bring up the past; things are still the same now. If you had Lu Wei's achievements, everyone would be fawning over you! It's just that your abilities aren't up to par!"

Jiang Jianjun joked.

Sure enough, as Lu Wei fouled and walked off the court, his opponents were all comforting him, and even he himself couldn't stand the treatment.

In everyone's eyes, besides getting a good ranking, the main reason for this trip was to see what the world champion looks like.

Last year, no one paid attention to Lu Wei, but this year everyone wants to talk to him and bask in the glory of being champions.

Lu Wei smiled too. This world really changes fast!

"Look, now the big screen has almost become a live broadcast by Lu Wei alone!"

As Shen Liang spoke, he pointed to the big screen on the field. The next contestant was already preparing to throw, but the big screen was still focused on Lu Wei.

"Even if Liu Feiren came here, this is the kind of treatment he'd get!"

The teammates who participated in the 100-meter race were filled with envy and jealousy, especially since Lu Wei's popularity had soared to such an extent in just one year. Even the teammates who had been training with him all along found it unbelievable.
