Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 175: God of Sprinting

"Is this going for millions of likes..."

Seeing the incredible video numbers, Wang Ye steadied his mind.

Then he covered himself with the blanket, planning to take a nap first.

Nowadays, his sleep time has been reduced to 2-3 hours.

He planned to check the video’s data after waking up.

By that time, he should be able to fully assess the video’s potential.

··························

It was around evening.

Wang Ye finally woke up.

The room was unusually dim, with only some dark red sunset light slanting in from outside, giving him an inexplicable sense of loneliness.

This emotion wasn’t due to him being too sentimental, but because of the deep-rooted fear of night in human genes. Humans are social animals, and in primitive times, facing the evening alone meant impending danger.

Wang Ye rubbed his temples slightly, dispelling the negative emotions in his mind.

He then went to the bathroom to relieve himself.

Sitting on the toilet, he casually opened TikTok to check the video’s data.

By this time, the video had received five hundred thousand likes.

The views had already exceeded ten million.

Seeing the terrifying data increase, Wang Ye couldn’t help but click his tongue.

"As expected, it’s been pushed to the top."

Ding.

Just as Wang Ye was about to continue reading the comments, a message from Li Weimin popped up on WeChat.

[Wang Ye, your promotional video is getting a good reaction!]

Wang Ye glanced at the message, typed a line, and sent it off, [Yeah, I saw it too, the content quality is quite good. To be honest, it’s still the filming team that did great, they captured the key points well.]

[Li Weimin: Yes. Would it be convenient to collaborate with us on a few more promotional videos after the competition? There’s another thing I want to mention, after discussions with our company’s top management, we plan to increase your bonus share. So this promotional video could potentially earn you a bonus in the millions, keep it up!]

Wang Ye was slightly pleased and immediately expressed his gratitude, [No problem, thank you, Manager Li.]

[No need to thank me, it’s just mutual benefit.]

After closing WeChat,

Wang Ye continued to glance at the comments and bullet screens on the promotional video.

He found that most of the comments were astonished by the sprinting prowess Wang Ye displayed in the video.

Upon seeing this, Wang Ye suddenly realized that he had never posted his sprinting data and videos on a public platform. After all, his sprinting data was stunning, with a 100-meter time of 4.92 seconds, a burst of speed comparable to a cheetah.

The reason Wang Ye showcased his sprinting skills in the promotional video was due to a suggestion from the filming team’s director during the shooting process. To achieve better visual impact in the promotional video, they suggested replacing the "long-distance running" content with "sprinting."

In other words, replacing the previous setting of [running continuously on a desolate asphalt road] with [sprinting at full speed on a stadium’s track]. Although such shooting content didn’t align with his persona, the visual effects of the filmed scenes would be elevated several levels.

Sprint events, with their excellent short-term explosive power and intense competition, provide viewers with an unparalleled visual impact. Although middle and long-distance events are also extremely challenging, from a visual perspective, they lack explosive power and speed, and might even feel somewhat dull to viewers, making them unsuitable for promotional videos where the visual effect is paramount.

Wang Ye had no objections to this suggestion. After all, with his Rushing Skill at level 5, his proficiency in running transcended all categories. Whether it was middle-distance running, sprinting, or hurdle racing, his mastery of techniques far exceeded human limits. Thus, even if the shoot switched to sprinting, he could exhibit the same outstanding level of skill.

With the filming team’s top-notch level and the formidable presence that Wang Ye’s physique exhibited,

it culminated in the astonishing power of the sprint scenes in this promotional video.

At this moment.

As the video’s popularity soared, it quickly climbed the trending charts on TikTok, Weibo, and other platforms,

being reposted by netizens on other domestic and international platforms.

The number of comments was rising at an astonishing rate.

[Qing Zhi Ru Chu: Damn, Qi Refining Brother’s sprinting is amazing too?]

[Silvery Smile: That’s over the top...]

[Your Chicken Bro: Any professional runners? Can someone evaluate Qi Refining Brother’s sprinting level?]

[Long Xiang: I’m a national first-rank athlete for the 100 meters, and I feel Qi Refining Brother might be faster than Su Bingtian... Although it feels a bit inappropriate to say this, his sprinting techniques are really impressive.]

[Introverted Social-phobic Shy Boy: Isn’t Su God the fastest among the Yellow race? Don’t talk nonsense!]

[Tears’ Mark: This video probably hasn’t been sped up, I boldly guess Qi Refining Brother’s 100-meter time is under 8 seconds, don’t say I’m braggin’, if you don’t believe me, go measure and calculate yourselves.]

[Mountain Breeze: Under 8 seconds... Forget Su God, even Bolt would have to bow before him!]

[Bit by Bit: If Qi Refining Brother can really run within 8 seconds, I’d call him the God of Sprinting.]

Seeing these comments,

Wang Ye couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

"It seems that sprinting indeed shows proficiency levels more easily compared to long-distance running. When I was on hiking trips, shooting vlog videos of my long-distance running every day, I never saw this bunch of netizens as surprised as they are now."

Unlike the subtly strategic stamina allocation techniques in long-distance events, sprinting techniques are much more blatantly straightforward. For instance, the movements of arm pumping, pressing down, knee-lifting, pushing off, and stride frequency, which manifest on the surface, can help discern a sprinter’s level for anyone who’s trained in sprinting for a while.

Thus, the gap between high-level and low-level athletes in sprinting is very visible and can even be easily judged by the naked eye.

Yet, in long-distance running, it’s challenging to visually assess an athlete’s technical skill level; only when competitors achieve results can one distinguish between their advantages and disadvantages based on those times.

For example, the running style of former Chinese marathon record holder He Jie was criticized by countless netizens because his running posture was truly awful: leaning forward, small steps, resembling an outsider who’d never trained in running professionally. But He Jie managed, with this awkward running style, to break China’s marathon record.
