Chapter 39: Let’s Practice

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com

Since the day Dai Li had received the Slimming Exercises, he had not practiced it yet. The main reason was that he could not find a suitable trainee. The working conditions were too harsh, and it only worked on professional athletes. Normally, if an athlete could strictly control themselves, their weight would not change much. In addition, Dai Li was focused on training sprinters. Usually sprinters had low body fat, and it was a luxury to them to gain fat. Therefore, sprinters rarely need to reduce weight. Dai Li didn’t have many chances to find an appropriate trainee.

Today was his lucky day. He had finally found an opportunity to prove the exercises to be effective. Thinking about this, Dai Li asked Feifei, "Alright, stop crying. You wanna lose weight? I have an idea."

Hearing that Dai Li had a way to solve this problem, Feifei Yu immediately stopped sobbing as if she was under his spell. She stared at Dai Li with fixed eyes. freewebno(v)el.com

Dai Li cleared his throat and said, "I have a series of secret slimming exercises—I mean, five-animal boxing, which was passed on from my ancestors. You know five-animal boxing, don’t you? It was created by the miracle-working doctor Hua Tuo, so it is very effective for losing weight. They say you can see the results within one day, be slimmer within three days, and be totally different after ten days!"

Feifei Yu’s face was full of doubtfulness. Dai Li must be exaggerating. Even though Yu was young, she would not believe in his "five-animal boxing."

The blood flushed into her face. He felt that he was overenthusiastic. Even a kid would not believe him. He added awkwardly, "Alright, we both know that it’s not the five-animal boxing. But the exercise is indeed effective, would you like to give it a try?"

Yu shook her head decidedly, then responded with politeness, "Thank you for your kindness, but it’s getting dark outside, I should go back for dinner."

Dai Li had spent so much time searching for this opportunity, how could he miss it? He stretched his arms to stop Yu and said sincerely, "How about you try first? It won’t cost you much time, only about ten minutes. If it is not effective, you won’t have lost anything. But what if it is effective? You could then lose weight and get back to your original status."

If it was someone older than Li she would label him a drug dealer, but he was still too young. She had been spending too much time on training, so she didn’t have much social experience. Hearing Dai Li’s words, she hesitated for several seconds, then nodded in agreement.

Dai Li was overjoyed. Finally he had a chance to prove it!

Let’s first detect the world champion’s ability level. Dai Li added Feifei Yu’s name onto the training list, then detected her abilities.

Object: professional athlete;

Professional field:

200-meter individual medley; Ability: 643; Talent: S-;

400-meter individual medley; Ability: 677; Talent: S-;

50-meter freestyle; Ability: 532; Talent: A;

100-meter freestyle; Ability: 541; Talent: A;

100-meter backstroke; Ability: 502; Talent: A-;

100-meter breaststroke; Ability: 479; Talent: B;

Butterfly stroke; Ability: 582; Talent: A;

Butterfly backstroke; Ability: 565; Talent: A.

That’s a lot! Is this what a world-champion-level athlete is like? Such an all-around swimmer! But now that I think about it, the medley contains freestyle, backstroke, butterfly stroke and breaststroke. She should be a master of all these skills.

Dai Li looked through the results. The whole list not only contained Feifei Yu’s best performance in the individual medley, but freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly stroke as well. Except for the B-level talent in breaststroke, she had A-level talents for all the other events. She even retained an S-level talent for medley.

S-level talent means that one is capable of breaking world records, and Feifei Yu did create a new world record for the 400 meter individual medley. She has a 677 professional ability points. She deserves to be called "world champion." None of my trainees have a 200 ability points. There’s such a wide gap, Dai Li thought to himself.

"600 more in ability points is not good enough to become a world champion, she is not even able to earn gold in national competitions," the System explained to Li. "Normally, ordinary world champions possess more than 700 professional ability points, while in fierce contests, only athletes with over 800 professional ability points have a chance to win."

"Then why does she only have 677 ability points? She is the record holder in 400 meter individual medley," Dai Li said.

"This is due to her performance decline. She was able to break world record, which indicates that she once obtained over 900 ability points when she was at the peak. It seems like she has fallen back rapidly if her current ability is only three-fourths of her previous capacity," the System explained.

After hearing this, Dai Li sympathized with Feifei Yu. She was once standing at the top, but now she was not even capable of winning one more gold in national competitions. Moreover, she was only around 18. How could she bear such dramatic changes?

I really hope that this exercise is effective. I want to help her, Dai Li sighed.

...

"Follow me. One two three four, two two three four, three two three four..."

Dai Li led the exercise while marking time. Feifei Yu stood opposite him, following his movements.

To be honest, Dai Li was teaching Feifei what he had just learned. Since he had never taught others this exercise before, it was his first time doing this. Fortunately, this exercise was simple, and with an experienced trainer like Dai Li, it was easy to follow the pictures step by step. At least he could fool Feifei, who was a beginner.

Why do I feel like I’m doing broadcasting gymnastics just like in primary school? Feifei was following Dai Li’s actions, but she felt that something was wrong. Was Dai Li a liar?

As Feifei was debating whether to stop or not, she felt a warm current emerge inside her and gradually flowed through her body. It reminded her of the sunlight in a chilly winter morning that shined through the window. The golden sun shone on the lazy bum who was still in bed, and gently warmed up the comforter. One could almost smell the the pleasant scent that was brought by the sunshine. The warmth made Feifei so comfortable that she would like to go to sleep like this.

I have never experienced such warmth before during my training. Feifei had been an athlete for more than ten years. Every time during her training, she felt tired, exhausted, or even painful. This kind of warmth was not something that she had ever expected.

Is it working? Yu’s attitude began to shake.
