Orc Undead Sports Warrior

Chapter 150 Trials

Lu Wei arrived at the training ground at 7:30 the next day.

Although there is a selection competition today, his training plan remains the same. In his opinion, high-intensity training will not make him feel that his physical strength is not enough to support it. On the contrary, it will warm up his body in advance.

After running for a while, he noticed that others had also started running laps to warm up. When the two ran closer, he recognized Wen Ningyi: "So early today!"

Lu Wei saw that he had arrived quite early and greeted him.

"Hmm, let's warm up a bit. Lu Wei, you're up so early again!"

Hearing Wen Ningyi say this, it's clear that he also has the habit of getting up early to train. Most people don't know Lu Wei's daily training time. When they arrive, they find that Lu Wei has already finished warming up and is training. However, only a few diligent people know exactly when he arrives.

It seems Wen Ningyi is quite keen on this competition spot today, as he's here so early to prepare. Zhang Yuanteng and Hu Huo usually arrive right on time, and although they are very dedicated during training, they haven't spent any extra time improving their performance.

Their attitude towards training is a bit like that of office workers who clock in and out: they arrive at the company steadily before work, giving themselves about 10 minutes to adjust. When the end-of-get off work music plays, they immediately clock in and leave the company.

There's usually nothing wrong with such players' attitudes, but they don't necessarily gain much in return.

So, Lu Wei is a workaholic, and Wen Ningyi is someone who often works overtime. When the two met, they ended up running laps together.

Lu Wei was worried that Wen Ningyi and he wouldn't be able to keep up with the warm-up, so he deliberately slowed down his pace today. This pace wasn't considered slow during the warm-up.

After the two finished warming up, Shen Liang arrived. He was already quite early to arrive at the track and field stadium at this time. He valued the spot in the indoor championships very much. At 18 years old, the opportunities to participate in competitions were actually very limited, and for him, every competition was a good opportunity.

Afterwards, Zhang Yuanteng and Shen Liang arrived at the track and field stadium. By this time, other people had already started arriving to begin their warm-up exercises.

At 8 o'clock, Wang Qiao arrived first to watch Lu Wei train, and a while later Zou Zhen also came over.

By the time Coach Jiang arrived at the venue, it was already around 9 o'clock.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's get ready and start. After we finish running, we'll continue with the other training subjects for today. We'll meet at the starting line after 10."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zou Zhen prepared to invite them to participate in the selection competition.

"Didn't we agree yesterday that it wouldn't start until 10 o'clock? It's only 9 o'clock now, there's still an hour left!"

Zhang Yuanteng said he wanted to run a little more. Although his body was already warmed up, he didn't feel the urgency of an upcoming race.

"Do you think the selection trials are like the Olympic finals? You think it's ten o'clock every day? Do you expect me to get back to my dorm and sleep during that time? What are you thinking about all day? Always worrying about these kinds of things."

The selection race was easy to conduct. Wang Qiao served as the starting coach, and Jiang Jianjun served as the finish line referee. He and Zou Zhen started timing at the finish line simultaneously, and that was how the refereeing team was set up.

Then Zou Zhen took out a deck of cards, leaving the numbers one through five of hearts, for several people to draw lots for.

As soon as the playing cards were taken out, Shen Liang wanted to grab the middle card. Just as his hand was about to grasp the card, it was suddenly snatched away by a large hand.

Without even looking, it was clear that Lu Wei had taken the cards. They were all sprinters, with impressive explosive power; in the brief moment his cards were snatched away, the others took the cards they wanted, leaving him with only one.

Shen Liang rolled his eyes at Lu Wei while holding the cards, thinking to himself that this guy was too unlucky. He originally wanted to draw a card first when drawing cards, regardless of which round it was, the key was to have a good start.

Because of Lu Wei's actions, he ended up getting the last card.

"Lu Wei, what lane are you in?" Wang Qiao asked. He was the starting line referee, responsible for the team members' lane assignments and starting arrangements.

"Fourth place..." I thought it would be a good ranking, but it's just so-so. This ranking is only the third most desirable position.

Upon hearing Lu Wei's words, Shen Liang was about to mock him when he saw his Dao level, which turned his face almost green – it was 5 Dao.

The others were Hu Huo in the first position, Wen Ningyi in the second position, and Zhang Yuanteng in the third position.

"Let's get started quickly, otherwise it will affect the training of others!"

As Zou Zhen spoke, he walked towards the finish line. Wang Qiao and Jiang Jianjun each held a small red flag for communication.

When Wang Qiao saw Jiang Jianjun reach the finish line, he waved his flag to indicate that he was ready.

Jiang Jianjun did not respond. After a while, he waved a red flag to indicate that they were ready.

In just a few minutes, many athletes training at the track and field stadium came to both sides of the track, wanting to see the five sprinters run the 60 meters.

"Everyone is in your place!"

As soon as the command was given, the five people walked to the starting blocks. The 60-meter race usually takes more than 6 seconds, and if you are careless, you will definitely not get a good ranking. Everyone is very focused.

"preparation!"

As the starting gun fired, the five team members immediately pushed off the running blocks and sprinted forward. Because they had been competing in the 60-meter dash every day recently, Shen Liang and Lu Wei had the fastest reaction times; after 10 races a day, the two had developed a conditioned reflex.

This was expected, but what was surprising was that Wen Ningyi was also very fast, and in the first few steps he was almost on the same level as Lu Wei.

Shen Liang was undoubtedly in the lead for the first thirty meters, with Lu Wei just one step behind. Lu Wei's starting ability was much better than before.

Shen Liang relied on his stride frequency at the start, while Lu Wei relied on his leg strength. By this time, the two had already left the people behind them by nearly 1 meter.

In the next 30 meters, Lu Wei slowly approached Shen Liang and overtook him.

The two of them ran almost touching each other without actually touching, and they gradually developed this ability through their sparring over the past few days.

As they neared the finish line, the two were still close together, while the three people behind them were getting further and further apart.

The instant they crossed the finish line, both of them stretched their heads out to touch the finish line.

In the end, Lu Wei reached the finish line first, while Shen Liang was the second to cross the finish line.

What was somewhat surprising was that Wen Ningyi led Zhang Yuanteng and Hu Huo throughout the race and maintained this slight advantage until the finish line.

Wen Ningyi is 19 years old this year, which is not old. His performance is not much different from the others, less than 0.2 seconds. Although this might be a 2-meter difference in an individual competition, in a relay team, this difference can be made up with an excellent baton exchange.
