Chapter 2355 - 597: Return of the Dragon King
It seems like going back to the days of practicing sprints at school.
He didn’t start with hurdling.
He practiced both the hundred meters and long jump.
He put considerable effort into these events.
During the National Youth Field Trials, he even received an injection and won second place nationally in the decathlon.
These achievements were Liu Xiang’s pride.
The sweat of countless days and nights.
Provides the fuel at this moment.
The formidable opponent brought out a better Liu Xiang.
Even during the race, he was keenly aware in his mind that today he might set a new personal record.
Liu Xiang nearly turned into a fleeting shadow.
Huang Kaiwen was giving no opportunities at all.
After eighty-five meters, Liu Xiang felt that Huang Kaiwen was already quite close to the finish line, since the gap between them was visibly large.
But he kept striving to run.
He expelled the last breath of air, forcing himself into a state of oxygen deprivation to let his organs unleash more energy.
Swinging arms, thrusting hips, pushing legs, with strides like meteors.
Huang Kaiwen had already sprinted past the finish line ahead of schedule, but it didn’t affect Liu Xiang, who kept running.
Without even realizing he had crossed the finish line.
He ran over ten more meters before starting to slow down, and after high-fiving Huang Kaiwen, Liu Xiang breathlessly asked, "How much?"
Huang Kaiwen looked towards Gagliani.
"Kevin 9.68 seconds, Liu Xiang 10.07 seconds."
Gagliani said with a smile.
Even Liu Xiang’s name, he pronounced in the Chinese way, not how Europeans typically place Chinese names first.
"What, an error of about 0.1 seconds?"
Liu Xiang asked.
"Supposedly, this is your record, if I remember correctly."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
"Right, that’s too ruthless of you!"
Liu Xiang held onto Huang Kaiwen’s hand without letting go, saying, "Truly ran as if there was no tomorrow."
Huang Kaiwen smiled without saying a word.
If he had used an [Immunity Card], his speed wouldn’t be like that.
He was cautious of injuries, so he didn’t go all out.
But the warm-up today felt pretty good.
Huang Kaiwen sat on the ground, Liu Xiang followed suit, and after a brief calm, he said, "Today’s condition felt really good, if I were to compete, I would definitely be first!"
"Isn’t that great?"
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
"I will definitely go online sometime and face those who say I’m not good!"
Liu Xiang also laughed, grinning wide enough to show his gums.
"Don’t pay attention to those people, you need to know you’re doing this for those who support you, not those who are jealous of you." Huang Kaiwen said: "Wearing the National Team jersey is to fight for national honor, just because some people insult you, does that mean you won’t run? Then I’ll go online and curse Bolt tomorrow, and then I’ll win the gold medal!"
"Hahaha..."
Liu Xiang was also amused, knowing Huang Kaiwen was saying his mindset was not good.
He said, "Sometimes I just can’t help but think, you know."
"Don’t think about those irrelevant things."
Huang Kaiwen said: "Your mindset is really not good, I sometimes hang around with those little black trolls, they switch forums, and I follow them, sometimes making threads criticizing myself."
"Really, you also play [MSI]?"
Liu Xiang blurted out.
Immediately feeling a bit awkward.
Huang Kaiwen’s smile became even brighter.
"Come on, let’s do 200 meters."
Huang Kaiwen said, pulling Liu Xiang.
"Let’s not."
Liu Xiang shook his legs, complaining with a miserable face.
Who wouldn’t allow some rest?
Caught up in Huang Kaiwen’s enthusiasm, Liu Xiang had no choice but to join him for 200 meters.
The gap was so large it was unbearable to watch.
Over three seconds gap.
But that wasn’t the end, after lunch, under the guise of accompanying him for training, Huang Kaiwen dragged Liu Xiang into the decathlon.
Had he not laid down and acted lazy, today he was afraid he’d get hurt.
On the way back to the hotel, Liu Xiang felt some anxiety.
He asked, "Kevin bro, are you mad?"
"Why would I be?"
Huang Kaiwen patted Liu Xiang’s shoulder and said: "You participated in the decathlon before, right? I thought joining might unleash more potential from you."
"Let’s not."
Liu Xiang quickly waved his hand.
He was a bit scared.
Huang Kaiwen was truly relentless.
Not only did he not let him rest, Huang Kaiwen himself didn’t take a rest either.
After running 400 meters, he acted as if nothing happened.
"No worries, keep in touch."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
Liu Xiang said with a mournful face, "Okay."
He always felt like Huang Kaiwen seemed angry.
Didn’t even know where he might have offended Huang Kaiwen.
After getting off the car, he still kept pondering this issue, completely clueless.
When Huang Kaiwen came home, Inzaghi jumped at him.
Couldn’t shake off like a sticky plaster.
Huang Kaiwen laughed and scolded, "What’s up, Your Majesty? Not chased by debt collectors, right?"
"No way?"
Inzaghi’s face plastered with smiles, rubbing his hands, he asked: "I heard you went for training today, as your best brother, of course, I care about your situation, how was it, can you easily defeat Bolt? I always feel he doesn’t measure up to you, your running posture looks far better than his."
"About 9.7 seconds."
Huang Kaiwen estimated and said.
Inzaghi was petrified on the spot, unable to close his mouth.
Recently, he reviewed quite a bit of data.
Learning about these competitions.
With 9.7 seconds, there’s no way to beat Bolt.
But quickly Inzaghi felt thrilled, he thought of a matter.
He promptly chased into the kitchen and asked: "You’re always more formidable during competitions than training, so you can still improve, right."
Huang Kaiwen nodded, half crying, half laughing.
Yay, yay, yay, yay...
Inzaghi instantly jumped up, wildly punching the air.
He immediately assumed the role of a sycophant, giving Huang Kaiwen a leg massage.
As long as Huang Kaiwen can win, then after this bet, he could retire!
