Ping Pong Life

Chapter 333 Strength Training
It took a long time for Wang Chao to digest what Tang Yuanyuan said.

Tang Yuanyuan said that she has no talent for strange powers.

Tang Yuanyuan said that strange strength is a talent exclusive to men. Even the most powerful offensive players in the history of women's table tennis, their objective strength indicators are far inferior to ordinary male players.

Tang Yuanyuan said that in fact, the men's and women's table tennis teams of the national team have to conduct talent statistics every year, especially when newcomers join the team, what kind of talent they have often become a hot topic that everyone talks about. Since you haven't heard of it, Wang Chao If my name is mentioned, it obviously proves that I have no talent for strange powers.

She said it very seriously, and it seemed logically reasonable, but Wang Chao didn't believe it.

Wang Chao asked Liu Wen, "Is that so?"

Liu Wen's expression was very strange, as if she was holding back something, it took a long time before she straightened her face, and said solemnly: "Well, that's right, that's how it is."

Wang Chao still didn't believe it, so he asked Tang Yuanyuan, "Then where did you get all your strength?"

Thinking of the scene of being knocked into the air just now, he added with a dark face: "Don't fmd tell me that a triangle is the most stable structure."

Tang Yuanyuan gave him a blank look, as if he disliked him, and then said as a matter of course: "Of course I got it through training."

Wang Chao asked, "Practice what?"

Tang Yuanyuan suddenly became proud, raised her head slightly, like a little rooster crowing: "My Tang family has passed down qigong."

Wang Chao remained silent for a long time.

He was really a little anxious from the thunder.

It's really that the word qigong is very sensitive. In previous lives, qigong masters were often used as a special title for liars.

Of course, this is a problem of liars, not a problem of qigong.

Qigong, if you want to ask if it exists, obviously it does.

But if you want to ask if it is so mysterious, it is obviously not. At least, in the two worlds of the past life and the future life that Wang Chao knows, there is no such thing. Even if there was one, it must have been lost.

In fact, there was a period of time in the previous life of Blue Star that Huaguo was a disaster for qigong. It was not that qigong itself was wrong, but that a large number of scammers deceived people under the guise of practicing qigong, and many people became mad, brainwashed, and deceived. Wealth caused many tragedies, so later, the officials directly banned this trend.

This also left the question of "Does Huaguo have real Qigong?" remains unanswered.

Wang Chao can accept that practicing qigong can strengthen his body and prolong his life, but he never accepts that practicing qigong can make him stronger than a man, because it is unscientific.

As we all know, strength, volume, weight, these factors should be in a complementary relationship, which is in line with classical physics.

But Tang Yuanyuan was very firm. She told Wang Chao about a long history.

The Tang family is a common surname in Jin Province, and the Tang Yuanyuan family is even more famous in the local area. Although it has declined now, the family tree has not been broken, and it has continued for nearly a hundred generations. Tang, a doctor surnamed Tang, has made outstanding contributions to Chinese medicine in Huaguo, and his historical status is probably similar to that of Hua Tuo or Sun Simiao on Blue Star.

Therefore, Tang Jiazu passed down a set of things for strengthening the body and prolonging life, which are somewhat similar to "Five Animals" or "Ten Duan Jin" on Blue Star. To strengthen the body due to illness, Dr. Tang lived to be 107 years old in history, which shows that this statement is still true to a certain extent.

Of course, this set of things is the same as "Five Animal Shows". In this era of information explosion, it has been summarized and turned into a routine gymnastics that anyone can search for articles and watch videos on the Internet, and can exercise with the up master.

However, just like the "Simple Tai Chi 24 Forms" on Blue Star, the Tang family's set of things is also a simple version. People are willing to suffer the pain of practicing, so even if the Tang family took out the complete thing, I am afraid no one will learn it. On the contrary, it is this simple version. It is said that there are still many people practicing in Jin Province, most of them are 50 years old. The old men above, they use this simple version as radio gymnastics.

As for Tangyuanyuan, they were forced to practice the full version by their family members since they were young. From the age of five to the present, there has been no interruption in the past 13 years.

And her strength also increased unconsciously. As for when she completed the leap, she was confused and had no idea, only knowing that suddenly, she became a girl with strange power.

"Are all your family members the same as you?" Wang Chao was amazed and couldn't help asking.

"That's not true." Tang Yuanyuan shook her head.

"Do they also practice?" Wang Chao asked again.

Tang Yuanyuan said: "Of course."

"This is the end." Wang Chao spread his hands: "Facts have proved that even if your family's qigong has been passed down for nearly a hundred generations, it is not so mysterious."

"No, you don't understand. It's not about the skills, it's about the aura of heaven and earth." Tang Yuanyuan frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "Actually, I think I should be a martial arts prodigy, that's why I can survive in the last dharma where there is no aura. The era has practiced my Tang family's ancestral skills."

Wang Chao thought she was joking, but after carefully discerning her eyebrows and expressions, he was sure that she was serious.

Wang Chao suddenly heard a "poof" next to him, but it was Liu Wen who was holding back, and accidentally leaked air from her mouth, her face was flushed red.

Wang Chao had a faint understanding. He tentatively asked Tang Yuanyuan: "Do you still remember what my senior brother Luo Jiu said after defeating the Dragon Team in the final last year?"

"The memory is deep." Tang Yuanyuan was very excited immediately: "He said, Luo Xiaojiu was not born in the sky, raw rubber is like a long night forever."

Wang Chao nodded: "Then what do you think of what he said?"

Tang Yuanyuan's eyes widened: "What's the point? Of course it's cool, it's so cool!"

In fact, no one thinks it’s cool, and everyone thinks it’s a second grade. This is the consensus of most people in Huaping. Cai Guodong also talked to Luo Jiu afterwards, and asked him not to talk nonsense in future interviews to affect Huaping’s international reputation. image.

Even if you want to express yourself, please say something that foreigners can understand.

At this moment, Wang Chao clapped his hands "snap": "I understand."

He totally got it.

The strange girl in front of her, like Luo Jiu, is also a serious poisoner of online novels.

No, she was more serious than Luo Jiu, to the point where it affected her daily cognition.

Does she have a talent for magic?
No doubt there is.

But she didn't admit it, she felt that her strange power was not born with it, but acquired through practice. As for why the rest of the family didn't practice it, it was because their bones were not good.

You see, it can be justified, after all, the development of online novels has formed a very complete theoretical closed loop.

But Tang Yuanyuan didn't know that she had become a sick person in Wang Chao's heart. She said enthusiastically: "How about it, since you are my partner, how about getting up early tomorrow to practice with me? Maybe as long as In one month, you too can become infinitely powerful like me."

Wang Chao couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that I'm also a martial arts prodigy?"

Tangyuanyuan doesn't matter: "Try it, and you won't lose a piece of meat."

Wang Chao turned his head and found that Xiao Fei was shaking his head slightly at him, while Liu Wen blinked desperately, signaling him not to agree.

Wang Chao thought for a while, then asked again: "Has anyone else practiced with you?"

Tang Yuanyuan nodded, shook her head again, was a little distressed, and sighed: "Many teammates have practiced with me, but they always give up after a few days of persistence, and they have no heart for martial arts at all. It makes sense for me to become a martial arts prodigy."

Wang Chao said "Oh" again, and he automatically translated Tang Yuanyuan's words into human words in his head: The teammates practiced with Tang Yuanyuan for a while, but found that there was no effect, and they couldn't increase their strength, so they gave up, that's all.

This is probably the reason why Liu Wen hinted that he should not agree.

But after Wang Chao thought for a long time, he finally accepted Tangyuanyuan's invitation: "Okay, I will practice with you tomorrow."

……

In fact, practicing qigong is really not an easy task.

He needs to get up two hours earlier than usual, first climb up the hill not far behind the base, and then start practicing at the highest point of the mountain facing the morning light.

Tang Yuanyuan said that this was to absorb the first ray of vitality between the heaven and the earth in the early morning, and also said a lot of online novel terms such as the heaven and the earth first opened, and the purple air coming from the east, but in fact, in Wang Chao's view, it was not so mysterious. They just found a chance to really breathe fresh air in the heavily polluted imperial capital.

However, the actual content of the ancestral exercises of the Tang family taught by Tang Yuanyuan still exceeded Wang Chao's psychological expectations.

He thought he was just learning a set of radio gymnastics.

But when he really started to learn, he discovered that this thing is really complicated, quite complicated, and there are a lot of movements, more than 80, and it is required to do it slowly. It takes half an hour.

So in fact, Tangyuanyuan is routinely done four times every morning.

But now, Wang Chao can only learn one movement at a time.

The first action at the beginning was very shameful. Wang Chao was required to get on all fours, to assume the majestic posture of a tiger perched on a hill, to hold his head high and his chest high, and to have strict requirements on the position and posture of his hands and feet. There are detailed regulations on which fingers should be stretched out and which ones should be curled up, and it is required that the whole movement must be energetic and show the aura of the king of beasts.

Wang Chao thought he was a genius, but when he started practicing, he realized that although his body had excellent athletic talent, he was really not good at imitating a tiger.

So Tang Yuanyuan began to constantly correct his various small postures, knocking here, hitting there, and then asked him to hold still, but this posture was so awkward that Wang Chao couldn't stand it in less than a minute, and the posture began. deformed, and was forcibly corrected by Tang Yuanyuan.

In addition to difficult postures, there is also breathing.

While maintaining the correct posture, you must also have the correct breathing rate. There are long and short, fast and slow. It is very complicated. According to Tang Yuanyuan, it is impossible to remember it completely by the brain. , Just like an athlete's muscle memory, practicing this thing also requires breathing memory.

Just remember the breathing method that matches each movement.

In this way, for a full half an hour, Wang Chao learned a total of one movement, and Wang Chao was scolded miserably by Tang Yuanyuan.

Facts have proved that although the strange girl is very obedient on the court, she is really fierce in her professional field and is an out-and-out strict teacher.

She told Wang Chao that she would teach the juniors of the Tang family to practice exercises every year when she returned home during the Chinese New Year.

So Wang Chao understood that her old-fashioned appearance was probably caused by being a teacher at home too much.

As the only "martial arts wizard" of the Tang family, she must have been proud and reserved when she was at home. In order to maintain the image of a master in front of the juniors, she should be a bit old-fashioned, which is completely reasonable.

On the first day, for two full hours, Wang Chao learned a total of four movements, all in the tiger form. He was so tormented that his back was sore, his neck was sore, his arms were sore, and his thighs were sore. Just a little muscle strain.

In the final analysis, it is because of these strange postures that the use and exercise of body muscles is completely different from the part practiced when playing ball, and even goes against any conventional human actions.

This is Zhenger Bajing imitating the tiger, not only the posture, but also the spirit and charm.

In other words, what he was trained was actually a place that he couldn't get trained at all.

Wang Chao felt that Tang's set of things was still meaningful. Although it might not have any substantial effect on playing basketball, it definitely could really strengthen the body and prolong life.

So he practiced very seriously.

But he also finally knew why the women's team members couldn't hold on anymore.

Probably not because the practice is too hard, or because I got up too early, and it's not because I can't increase my strength, but because... well, the process of practicing is very shameful.

It is said that the first step for an actor to learn acting is to liberate his nature, and the first step to liberate his nature is to learn about animals, but after all, not everyone can be an actor, especially the girls of the Huaping Women's Team, who have been in sports schools since childhood. Practicing, receiving closed training, they are still very pure and tender, let them lie on the ground and learn from tigers, it may be difficult for them to overcome their psychological barriers.

And the reason why Tangyuanyuan has a very good psychological quality during the competition is probably because she has learned all kinds of animals from her grandfather since she was a child, crawling, rolling, screaming and screaming. After a long time, she has already become shameless and skinless. This temperament actually became her biggest advantage during the competition.

Naturally, Wang Chao also wanted to be a shameless person, so he devoted himself to learning and even enjoyed it.

Four days later, he began to practice bear pose.

Three days later, the postures of the tiger and the bear were learned, followed by deer, birds, and apes, and so on.

The practice time passed quickly. For the time being, Wang Chao didn't feel any benefit from the practice, and even the tonic effect of the medicine hadn't shown yet. On the contrary, it was because he practiced two hours earlier every day, which made him extremely tired during the training. On the contrary, Liu Wen's performance in the battle has declined compared to the previous week.

The days passed like this, and before I knew it, it was already a week.

Every day, when Wang Chao went down the mountain after practicing, He Jingping would wait for him at the foot of the mountain, handing him a towel to wipe his sweat, and handing him a bowl of dark porridge for him to eat while it was hot.

This porridge is not real porridge, but a medicinal diet.

Do you still remember the special training of the master and apprentice at the Jiangcheng team base during the Spring Festival?

He Jingping has been thinking about supplementing Wang Chao. During the Spring Festival, it was a good opportunity, but as the major competitions kicked off and the Ping Pong Super League reopened, he would no longer have the opportunity to stay with Wang Chao stably and for a long time. Let's stop for a while.

But now the opportunity has come again.

After winning the mixed doubles quota, Wang Chao's life will become very stable in the future. He will not participate in the table tennis championship or international singles competitions. He will focus on practicing mixed doubles and will not be allowed to participate in any competitions before defeating Liu Wen and Xiao Fei.

But Liu Wen and Xiao Fei are so easy to beat?

Wang Chao and Tangyuanyuan have to practice for at least a month first.

So He Jingping's big plan of medicine supplement was put on the agenda again.

The two of them did not hide this matter from Tang Yuanyuan, but Tang Yuanyuan sneered at it.

"True strength comes from self-cultivation. If you take medicine tonic, the potency of the medicine you take will be mixed and impure, which will affect your ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If you believe me, don't take it."

Wang Chaoli didn't even bother to talk to her, so he ate up the porridge in two bites.

He remembered very clearly that the list of medicinal materials that he occasionally dug out from the trash can at the city team base back then cost more than [-] yuan.

This bowl of porridge is really not cheap, it is all paid by Lao He privately, he has no wife and no children, he is alone, and all the money is spent on his disciples.

Wang Chao was not polite to He Jingping, because he really needed to boost his strength.

He doesn't need to think of ways to repay Lao He's kindness. The only thing he can do is to train harder, and strive to win the mixed doubles and men's singles doubles championship directly by the end of this year, and bring Lao He a glory.

Liu Wen and Xiao Fei were obviously curious about Wang Chao's persistence in practicing kung fu, and they didn't even understand what Wang Chao was trying to do.

Only Wang Chao knew that what he was actually after was "exercising the body" itself.

He has not practiced enough for a long time. During this period of practicing mixed doubles, he has devoted most of his energy to building a technical and tactical system and adapting his habits. His training volume is much less than that of singles.

He needs to find an opportunity to practice more.

Practicing with glutinous rice balls is the best additional practice.

He doesn't care what to practice, he just cares about moving, that's all.

So, for the sake of Tang Yuanyuan being my partner, coax her.

In the last game of this weekend, Wang Chao and Tang Yuan Yuan lost to Xiao Fei and Liu Wen again as a matter of course.

Before leaving the arena, Xiao Fei reminded Wang Chao a little: "Don't forget, next weekend you will fight against the other two groups... It's okay to lose to us, but you will suffer if you lose to them."

That's a polite way to say it, and it's just saying "you've had a terrible week of training".

Wang Chao only nodded.

In the next week, Wang Chao gradually felt that he was starting to gain strength.

This is the effect of the combination of continuous daily exercise, medicine supplements and Tang family's ancestral skills, which allows him to occasionally hit a very sharp forehand during practice. This afternoon, in the continuous After piercing Xiao Fei three times, Xiao Fei couldn't restrain the surprise in his heart, and asked him: "Could it be that girl's exercises are really effective?"

Even Liu Wen's eyes widened, wondering if she should start practicing again.

If you can really boost your strength, what is the little shame of learning from animals?

Wang Chao didn't say a word, because the Tang Yuanyuan beside him had already raised his head to the sky, and the old-fashioned look on his face was displayed to the extreme.

She probably wants to show the demeanor of a master, but she looks more like a child who is trying to learn to be an adult.

It wasn't until Tang Yuanyuan went to the toilet halfway that Wang Chao found an opportunity to tell the truth to Xiao Fei and Liu Wen: "Isn't it normal for me to gain strength? I'm still growing."

Xiao Fei and Liu Wen looked at each other, speechless.

The two of them finally remembered that the guy in front of him who was always fighting with the coaching staff was actually only 18 years old.

To be precise, he turned 10 in October this year.

For an 18-year-old, in theory, if the first development is not sufficient, it is completely reasonable to undergo a second development after receiving sufficient nutrition and even drug stimulation.

"So, it really has nothing to do with practicing?" Liu Wen didn't give up, because she has always been the type of speed that crushes the whole team but obviously lacks strength. Her desire for strength is very strong.

Wang Chao nodded with certainty: "It doesn't matter at all."

But when the glutinous rice balls came back from the toilet, everyone's rhetoric was different.

"Yuanyuan, you are so lucky to find a partner who is a martial arts genius like you." These are Liu Wen's original words.

"I really envy Wang Chao. Hey, if I had better talent, I would go to practice with you." These are Xiao Fei's original words.

"Hey, my medicinal diet is Tu Yi Le. If you really want to gain strength, you still have to rely on your ancestral skills." These are He Jingping's original words.

No one thought of exposing the truth, because everyone felt that watching Tangyuanyuan's smug fart all day long is actually quite interesting, and it's like coaxing children.

This girl is like a child, if you talk to her, she can knock you into the air, but if you stroke her hair, she will be very obedient and cooperative, and become a good girl.

Time passed by, and before you knew it, it was the weekend again.

The draw ceremony for the Qatar Open will be held in three days, and before tomorrow, the Chinese National Table Tennis Association must submit the list of participants for this Open.

After Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan played another round, Cai Guodong showed up at the door with the entire Huaping coaching staff.

Gao Mingyuan, Lu Feiyang, Wang Yu, and Shen Sha also appeared at the same time.

The real test came.

　Thanks to "Hai Ziyuan" for the reward of 1500 coins.

　　Thanks to "Book Friends 20190112164319067" for the reward of 100 coins.
