Chapter 2361 - 599: If Heaven Had Not Given Me Huang Kaiwen
The match during the trash time slots was actually watched by one out of every two Brits on average!
And other countries and regions, even more so.
The archery competition actually surpassed the domestic viewership rate of the England Team’s European Cup match!
This is simply outrageous.
In the fourth set, Huang Kaiwen finally couldn’t complete the perfect 60-point score.
In the lounge, Lim Dong-hyun pointed at the TV and laughed loudly, saying: "Axi, I knew he was going to fail. How can you do archery without using your eyes?"
"You’re right, bro!"
Kim Yu-jin, with a round face, nodded and bowed with a smile.
But in his heart, he thought Lim Dong-hyun had already scored 236 points by this time, three points less than Huang Kaiwen.
But he dared not say it out loud, as the 8-year-older Lim Dong-hyun could beat him to death.
The seniority and ranking system in South Korea is severe, and older people bullying the younger is quite common, with movies only showing the tip of the iceberg.
The relatively closed environment of a sports team makes it worse.
There is competition among athletes too.
It’s possible someone could deliberately injure you during training.
He had been running errands for Lim Dong-hyun before, being scolded and beaten quite often.
If Lim Dong-hyun truly found an opportunity, a beating was a certainty.
Coaches and team leaders wouldn’t care about such things.
Kim Yu-jin lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly, wishing more than anyone that Huang Kaiwen would teach Lim Dong-hyun a lesson.
Yet at the end of the fifth set,
Huang Kaiwen scored another perfect 60 points.
Lim Dong-hyun’s face turned completely dark.
Five sets 299 points!
With seven sets and a total of 420 points remaining, Huang Kaiwen only needs to score 401 points to break his record.
Judging by today’s performance, seven sets and 401 points shouldn’t be difficult for Huang Kaiwen.
The pressure in the resting area dropped significantly.
Lim Dong-hyun casually glanced around.
Kim Yu-jin quickly forced a smile, looking at him with a fawning expression.
Fearing he’d be caught and beaten up.
"You’re smiling quite happily, aren’t you hoping to see me lose? Axi, I just knew it. Young people always act recklessly, disregarding national honor." Lim Dong-hyun asked with a fake smile.
Kim Yu-jin: ...
Lim Dong-hyun, damn you!
...
"Now is the rest time, after six sets, Huang Kaiwen has scored 357 points, his performance today is truly stable. His dominance in archery should be said to be more terrifying than in football, hehe. After observing each set, he shoots with his eyes closed, this is having no target in sight, but a target in his heart."
"Exactly! More importantly, as long as Huang Kaiwen doesn’t make any serious mistakes in the second round, breaking the world record today is a certainty. Lim Dong-hyun’s world record only lasted for over an hour!"
"Currently, the first round is over, ranking second is the Italian athlete Mauro Nespoli, with 347 points in second place."
This shows how terrifying Lim Dong-hyun truly is.
In the first round, with both physical and mental stamina relatively good, Nespoli dropped 13 points yet could still rank second in the same group, while Lim Dong-hyun dropped only 21 points over two rounds of 72 arrows.
The whole world thought Lim Dong-hyun’s world record would last a long time.
Huang Kaiwen stepped forward with an absolutely dominating stance.
Turning Lim Dong-hyun from today’s protagonist into a supporting character.
Spectators couldn’t wait to see the next match, hoping Huang Kaiwen would refresh the world record to an unreachable height.
"Huang, you’re awesome!"
Dai Xiaoxiang exclaimed excitedly.
"Stop calling me ’bro’, are you trying to form cliques?"
Huang Kaiwen scolded with a laugh.
The two had trained together before and had a good relationship.
"I’m serious, how can you shoot with your eyes closed?" Dai Xiaoxiang asked curiously.
Shooting with eyes open and closed is a completely different level of difficulty.
Other athletes and leaders also looked over, curious about this as well.
Huang Kaiwen: ...
Should I really tell you that it’s a unique gift of mine?
After a brief thought, Huang Kaiwen replied, "Back when I played football, sometimes we were so exhausted in extra time that I couldn’t play anymore, but then came a free kick. With the noise of the field, physical fatigue, and all sorts of unfavorable factors, I’d close my eyes and recall the feeling during training, muscle memory, and unexpectedly, I could score. Back then, I thought, why not apply it to other sports.
Plus, after the Little Stick’s laser pointer incident, I realized how important this was, so I practiced at home whenever I was free, and that’s how I got it."
Dai Xiaoxiang widened his eyes.
Not knowing what to say.
"You better not imitate me, you might mess it up."
Huang Kaiwen quickly advised, "This kind of thing is different for everyone."
"Yes, don’t mimic Kaiwen," the coach interjected.
People have tried this sort of thing before.
Just earlier, he noticed that Huang Kaiwen’s upper body was incredibly steady!
His arms didn’t move an inch after releasing the arrow.
It’s something ordinary athletes simply cannot manage.
In their youth, there were bookstores all over the streets, full of martial arts novels. The coach even suspected Huang Kaiwen might have practiced something.
Dai Xiaoxiang asked again, "Is it true that London is full of dust, but Japanese streets are dust-free?"
"Yeah, they’re cleaned by dogs,"
Huang Kaiwen replied directly.
"What dogs?"
"Collaborative lackeys!"
Huang Kaiwen said.
Hahaha...
Dai Xiaoxiang laughed while slapping his thigh.
The coach and team leader maintained their image, but their shoulders jerking showed how hard they were trying not to laugh.
Loud laughter erupted in the resting area.
Drawing the attention of athletes from nearby countries.
"Axi, this bastard, last time he stole Wu Zhenhe’s championship, now he’s trying to steal Lim Dong-hyun’s record again."
