Chapter 198: The Result is Certain

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The entire day's work depended on a good start in the morning. For athletes, breakfast was quite important. A nutritious breakfast could offer sufficient energy for a whole morning's exercise. In contrast, dinner was not essential. Many athletes who wanted to control their weight chose not to have dinner when they were dieting. Research studies showed that it was not healthy to not eat breakfast for a long time.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the canteen chefs got various breakfast ready to serve. Considering the athletes were from all around the country with different preferences, the canteen offered a full range of food. The key point was to provide rich nutrition. Within the next half hour, coaches and athletes flooded in, making the canteen busy.

Dai Li was jogging into the canteen. The chef recognized him from a distance.

”Morning Dai Li, do you still want it to go today?” the chef asked.

”Yes, food for two people, I want them all to go. And please, give me two more eggs, and I also want...” Dai Li made his order. Soon, the chef packed everything Dai Li wanted and handed it to him. Dai Li thanked him, then carried the food as he jogged out of the canteen.

The other coaches witnessed this scene. Somebody began to talk about it.

”Did Dai Li have his breakfast to go again. He has been doing this for five or six days, hasn't he?”

”Today is the seventh day,” another person answered. ”Yue Zhao has been training crazily this week. People say that he started training at five in the morning, and didn't come back until ten at night.”

”5AM to 10PM, let me count... oh my, seventeen hours in total! How can this even be possible! That's such a long training time. To do so for one or two days might be understandable, but seven days?! That's incredible! Even Iron Man couldn't bear it!”

”Well, this is partially correct. Don't forget to subtract dining time and breaks. But he still probably trains thirteen or fourteen hours a day. Even in that case, to go on for seven days seems impossible.”

”Four years ago, when I was training Yue Zhao, I didn't realize he had such outstanding endurance!”

”He has been working so hard. I say the last spot for the 200m sprint must belong to him. But I wonder how much longer he can bear such high-intensity training.”

The discussion was heard by Yaozu Wang, which made him uncomfortable.

It's been seven days; how can Yue Zhao continue such training for seven days! This doesn't make sense! Yaozu Wang clenched his chopsticks tightly, seemingly expressing his grievances.

Yue Zhao finished almost every task under my watch, so I know he didn't mess around, and I know he has a really high workload. But the question is, how did he make it? Xiong Chu has been doing the same thing, but he can only bear ten hours at most. Why? Does it have anything to do with training plans?

Yaozu Wang couldn't help but think about Dai Li, and became even more upset.

Recently, Yaozu Wang had been observing Dai Li's coaching, but he had not found anything surprising. Dai Li's methods were the same methods that were commonly adopted by the national team, Yaozu Wang was already quite familiar with them.

Yaozu Wang had once thought that the reason Yue Zhao could go on for such a long time was because of Dai Li's massages. Yaozu Wang had even tried to mimic Dai Li's actions; every time when they would take a break, Yaozu Wang would imitate Dai Li and give Xiong Chu leg massages. But it didn't work.
