Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 172: The Foreign Coach’s Doubts

The nearly one hundred pounds of watermelon just eaten.

Made the energy reserves within Wang Ye fully abundant.

He could sense a great amount of sugar continuously flowing into his limbs and every part of his body. Like a car filled with gasoline, possessing boundless power.

Soon.

Wang Ye arrived at a relatively spacious grassy site in the woods, parked his mountain bike beside a tree trunk, then skillfully pitched his tent on the grass, placed the moisture-proof mat and sleeping bag.

Just as he was about to crawl into the tent to rest, suddenly, he discovered some edible wild vegetables growing around the grassland, and it seemed that due to the surrounding unmarked graves, the gloomy atmosphere was heavier, with even some dirty black mushrooms growing under some trees.

With his lv4 Cooking Skill, he could accurately discern between toxic and non-toxic wild vegetables or mushrooms, as well as precisely identify the types of vitamins contained within the wild vegetables.

Earlier during his travels on foot outdoors, Wang Ye often used this Skill to identify which wild vegetables were edible, supplementing various vitamins and other trace elements.

As his current energy needs have become exceptionally high, his demand for vitamins and dietary fiber is naturally gradually increasing. So these mountain wild vegetables are one of the essential foods for him.

Only with good nutrition can he ensure a healthy physique even after evolving.

After confirming that these wild vegetables were non-toxic, Wang Ye began picking them.

He picked along the path where the wild vegetables were growing.

After spending about fifteen minutes, he picked nearly twenty pounds of wild vegetables.

Just as he was planning to bring these wild vegetables back to the tent.

Wang Ye suddenly heard a rustling sound and the sound of human breathing and heartbeat.

He closed his eyes, discerning the person’s scent and the sounds they made.

Soon. The person’s figure and movements gradually appeared in his mind, like a 3D aerial view composed of ethereal clouds and mist.

Wang Ye could clearly "see" a man carrying a snakeskin bag, walking towards his tent with sneaky movements, likely harboring ill intentions.

"Could it be a scavenger from nearby?" Wang Ye frowned.

Such scavengers usually pick up usable items or food in the mountains to sell for money. Some of the less ethical scavengers even steal others’ belongings when they are not around.

The man in front of him, who seemed to be a scavenger, was likely intending to take Wang Ye’s belongings while he was away.

"Didn’t expect to encounter a thief here."

Wang Ye didn’t hesitate, quickly quickening his pace toward where his luggage was placed.

"Damn." The scavenger seemed to have noticed Wang Ye’s footsteps; his movements suddenly accelerated, frantically taking a bag of compressed biscuits from the backpack and stuffing it into the snakeskin bag behind him, then quickly rode Wang Ye’s mountain bike down the hill.

Click, click, click.

The subtle sound of the chain gears turning echoed.

The scavenger rode the mountain bike downhill at nearly 50 mph. In such an emergency, his adrenaline surged, making his reaction speed much better than an average person. Even when faced with consecutive obstacles on the mountain path, he could deftly dodge them, though not as good as professional athletes but definitely much stronger than someone without professional cycling training.

Just when the scavenger thought he was about to escape.

Suddenly, the mountain bike under him halted abruptly.

Screech——

He couldn’t maintain his balance and fell directly to the ground, turning his head in alarm,

only to see Wang Ye, who was originally 200 meters away, now instantly beside him, grabbing the mountain bike’s frame.

The scavenger, appearing in his forties or fifties with a beard covering his face, turned pale, his body involuntarily trembling. The snakeskin bag initially slung across his back rolled down and fell into the bushes.

In conditions separated by 200 meters, catching up to a bicycle traveling at a high speed of 50 mph within ten seconds, and forcibly pulling it to a standstill with arm strength... is this really something a human can do?

"Are you... are you human or ghost...?" the scavenger stammered.

"Have you ever seen a ghost pitch a tent?" Wang Ye said helplessly, "Give me back my stuff, then leave on your own, I won’t pursue the matter."

"Okay... okay!" The scavenger, knowing he was in the wrong, quickly handed over the bag of compressed biscuits from the snakeskin bag to Wang Ye, then dashed away down the mountain.

Wang Ye took the bag of compressed biscuits and pushed the mountain bike back beside the tent.

Then he tidied up his belongings, lay inside the tent watching videos.

While watching videos, he suddenly noticed many people @ him on the Douyin (Tik Tok) backend.

Curiously, he clicked into the video that @’ed him.

After watching for just a few seconds, his expression gradually became solemn.

The video showed a triathlon athlete from the United States, who is currently a coach, evaluating Wang Ye’s world record-breaking competition,

His online name is Coach Xiu, often uploading videos on YouTube and Tik Tok.

The main video content is judging athletes from around the world from a god’s perspective.

His evaluation angle is based on physical quality, skill level, age, height, weight and other data to assess whether a certain athlete has used stimulants or other drugs to boost performance.

Currently, famous local athletes —— Sun Yang, Su Bingtian, Lin Dan, Lü Xiaojun, etc., have been specially evaluated in multiple video episodes.

This bearded man known as Coach Xiu presented Wang Ye’s current physical data and was talking extensively in front of the screen.

"With my twelve years of coaching experience, I can responsibly say no natural human could possess such physical attributes unless they used steroid-like hormonal drugs to promote muscle, skeletal, and internal organ development."

Upon saying this, Coach Xiu sneered, continuing:

"Such obvious drug effects at least need to stop usage for three months to be undetectable through normal urine tests. My point is, if he really participates in the Lanzhou Marathon, the truth will eventually come out."

Since this video was transferred from overseas websites, most of the video’s comments were actually refuting Coach Xiu’s statements, defending Wang Ye. Seeing these supportive comments, Wang Ye felt warm inside.

However, Coach Xiu continued to boast in the video, "I won’t repeat the old clichés, such as his height, weight, muscle mass, which are evidently unsuitable for long-distance running. Moreover, as far as I know, Wang Ye has not yet joined the Chinese Team until today, to which I want to question Wang Ye, if you truly possess world-record-breaking strength, why not join the Chinese Team for further development?"
