Chapter 3
Even after finishing three laps of warm-up, Su Yu still didn't understand who he should not lose to.
Maybe it was his past self, maybe it was his past self who once regretted, or maybe it was Pei Dingshan who always glanced at him in his imagination.
For Su Yu, who was reborn, he had not felt such a weak state of body for a long time. From the first 100 meters, he felt his body gradually getting heavier. Later, every step he took was like a worn-out old bellows, and the heavy breathing made his chest and trachea feel like they were burning by fire.
For other students participating in the summer camp, three laps of warm-up jogging are not easy but not to this extent. However, for Su Yu at this stage, this level of activity can be considered "intense".
When he finally finished the three laps, his hands were on his knees and he couldn't hear what other people were saying around him.
Jiang Yuan was frightened by his appearance. He supported him with one hand and carefully helped him calm down with the other hand behind his back.
"Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu, are you okay?"
Zhou Yuang was also frightened, but he didn't dare to get close, so he just circled around him.
"Fuck, Yuanzi, is our little ancestor okay?"
Jiang Yuan was filled with anxiety and worry, and couldn't help muttering, "Everyone said that we should have gone back yesterday. How can your body withstand the intensity of this summer camp? Uncle Su and Aunt Lin would be heartbroken to see you like this, and my parents would beat my head off..."
Su Yu supported his knees with his hands. He was so tired that when he just stopped, he could not hear any sound except his own heavy breathing and his heartbeat that was about to jump out of his throat. His whole head was buzzing.
He finally caught his breath and was able to hear some other noises. He heard Jiang Yuan muttering anxiously in his ear.
Su Yu: ...
Su Yu raised his hand and covered Jiang Yuan's mouth with it.
"Stop reading. I have a headache."
Jiang Yuan, whose mouth was blocked by Su Yu, shut up obediently. He was about to help his little ancestor to the side to rest for a while, but before he could walk to the side, he saw the coach who had just been scolding the late students appeared here.
As Pei Dingshan approached, Su Yu, who was originally supported by Jiang Yuan, let go of Jiang Yuan's hand and stood up on his own. Even though it could be seen that he was not in good condition, he was much better than when he was about to faint after running.
Pei Dingshan nodded to the two of them, then turned his attention back to Su Yu, looking him up and down: "Your physical fitness is very poor, did you rarely exercise in the past?"
Jiang Yuan instinctively answered for Su Yu: "Xiao Yu has not been in good health since he was a child..."
Pei Dingshan didn't comment, but just looked at Su Yu: "Can you hold on?"
Under Pei Dingshan's gaze, Su Yu straightened his back unconsciously, like a newborn animal using its instinct to fight against the powerful enemy in his subconscious.
Facing Pei Dingshan's question, Su Yu took two deep breaths, swallowed the rusty and uncomfortable breath at the back of his head, looked straight at him and said, "I can."
The morning light was rising at this time, and the sunlight hit Su Yu's face. His fair skin, which had been raised at home due to illness since childhood, looked white and translucent under the sunlight. The slight moisture on his forehead made his skin look even better. In addition, Su Yu was born with good looks. At this moment, he looked like a stubborn white porcelain doll, obviously very fragile but refusing to bow his head and admit defeat.
Pei Dingshan looked at him more and nodded: "Okay, your resilience is good, but you need to adjust your physical condition slowly. You will do two fewer sets than others in the later training."
Hearing this, Su Yu pursed his lips and wanted to say "I can do it", but Jiang Yuan, who discovered his actions, stopped him.
Jiang Yuan was the first to say thank you: "Thank you for your care, coach!"
Pei Dingshan nodded and went on to "take care of" the late students standing in the number circle.
It was not until Pei Dingshan left that Jiang Yuan began to coax his little ancestor again: "Oh ancestor, this provincial team coach is not easy to talk to. It's not easy for him to be flexible. Don't be stubborn with him!"
"Yes, Xiaoyu, don't be stubborn with him."
Zhou Yuang also came to Su Yu at this time and gave him the information he knew: "You probably don't know this Pei Dingshan. I learned about him specifically when I asked people about the summer camp. Pei Dingshan comes from a sports family. Three people with the surname Pei are head coaches of different national teams. Pei Dingshan originally had excellent sports talent since he was a child and was trained as a sprinter. But then he had an accident. Although it didn't affect his normal life, he couldn't continue his sprinting career. After that, he insisted on switching to the teaching and training of sprinting."
"I majored in sports training for both my undergraduate and graduate studies, with a focus on sprinting. During my graduate studies, I went to Brad College in the United States to learn sprinting from Brad Bromell himself, and received the Brad College's assessment certificate, which is one of the three most prestigious assessment certifications in the industry and is recognized by countries around the world."
"At present, even among the national team's sprint coaching staff, not many have obtained the three major assessment certifications."
"Originally, Pei Dingshan was going to be recruited by the national team directly after he came back, but he wanted to observe and learn from the grassroots teams for two more years, so he was picked up by the S Province team."
"At this stage, the provincial team just wants to develop short jump. Although Pei Dingshan only holds the title of assistant coach, that is because the domestic grading of coaches requires a certain number of years of coaching. Anyway, in terms of short-distance running training, he has the final say in our S Province team. The veteran coaches in the team are still learning the latest international cutting-edge concepts from him."
Zhou Yuang used to have the lively look of a teenager, but he seemed particularly serious when talking about Pei Dingshan and his series of titles.
Jiang Yuan was so focused on Su Yu's physical condition at the moment that he didn't notice it, but Su Yu saw it.
He looked up at Zhou Yuang and asked, "Do you want to become his disciple?"
Zhou Yuang nodded decisively: "Yes! I came to the summer camp to see if I have this opportunity. I like sprinting and want to go professional. Coach Pei is the best coach I have the opportunity to meet."
When Su Yu heard this, he looked at Zhou Yuang steadily, then turned away and whispered "You can".
Zhou Yuang laughed when he heard the three words Su Yu dropped. He threw away his previous seriousness and approached Su Yu and asked with concern: "No more talking. Hey, little ancestor, are you okay? You scared me and Yuanzi to death just now."
Su Yu didn't want to pay attention to him and turned his head away, but Zhou Yuang was very brave. He raised his hand and snored at Su Yu's head.
"Yuanzi is right, Xiaoyu, you are cute in your awkward way."
Su Yu was stunned by his rubbing and raised his hand to slap Zhou Yuang's claws away, but Jiang Yuan slapped Zhou Yuan's claws away first.
Su Yu finally returned to the team alone and depressed.
When Jiang Yuan dragged Zhou Yuang to his front to apologize to him, Su Yu still had a cold face and didn't want to pay attention to them - haha, what's there to apologize for, we are not familiar with each other.
Jiang Yuan had no choice but to take Zhou Yuang and line up behind Su Yu, planning to wait until the training was over in the evening to see how to appease his little ancestor.
Fortunately, after all this commotion, Su Yu's condition seems to be much better. The look of being on the verge of death is gone. After three rounds of warm-up, his skin is now slightly reddish, and he looks much better than before.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Yuan felt for the first time that Uncle Su and Aunt Lin's decision to send Su Yu to summer camp was the right one.
The second phase of morning training began after hundreds of students completed their warm-up runs in batches.
This is not a formal training course yet. Morning training mainly consists of jogging to move the joints, supplemented by several sets of basic training such as unilateral high leg raises, alternating leg raises, and small steps in place.
Most of the middle school students attending the summer camp had never participated in formal training. They were already tired after running three laps around the playground early in the morning, and they were somewhat muddled when doing these movements that seemed to have little technical content.
Pei Dingshan, standing in the front row, looked at the weird and distorted movements of the junior high school students who were training separately, without any change on his face, making it hard to tell whether he was really unaffected or not angry.
In the entire playground, only one in ten students were seriously doing the training exercises facing the rising sun.
Among them is Su Yu.
He was weak, and Pei Dingshan had just told him to do two fewer sets, but he did not use his weak body as an excuse to give up. Everyone could see that these basic trainings were quite a burden for him, but he still meticulously completed his training according to the movement decomposition and rhythm that Pei Dingshan had just explained.
His movements were not fast, and it was not easy to do it in a standard way, so some people had already finished all the sets of the standard group, while Su Yu had only finished half of his sets.
In addition to Su Yu, Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang have the most standard training rhythm among all the students in the summer camp. They both have good physical conditions and good personalities. Jiang Yuan has the character of an old mother who was trained by Su Yu since childhood. He is patient and meticulous. Zhou Yuang has the mentality of "listening to idols", and coupled with his own love for sprinting, he is also very focused and serious during the training process.
Pei Dingshan stood beside the training ground from beginning to end, and hardly spoke except when giving training instructions. Even when a student blatantly paddled close to him, he did not say a word.
Only after everyone had completed their required number of groups did Pei Dingshan begin to call out names one by one.
"Zhang Yuheng, 3 sets of unilateral high-leg lifts, 4 sets of alternating leg lifts, 3 sets of small-step running on the spot; Pi Qiujun, 2 sets of unilateral high-leg lifts, 4 sets of alternating leg lifts, 3 sets of small-step running on the spot..."
Pei Dingshan's voice and tone were very calm, but the content he read out from the training booklet in his hand made the students whose names were called stand there in shock.
These students were not only surprised that they were called out for being lazy, but they were even more surprised that Pei Dingshan not only remembered their names, but also accurately recorded the details of their laziness in different training items? !
Whether the students were called or not, the same question was echoing in their minds - is this something a human can do?
Pei Dingshan ignored the students' emotional changes. After reading the contents of the training book in his hand, he put it down and said calmly: "Except for the above personnel, the rest of you will return to the dormitory to take a shower, eat in the cafeteria at 7:30, and start the formal class at 8:30."
"The above-mentioned personnel will be uniformly trained and dismissed."
As soon as the words fell, all those whose names were not called looked at each other, and then quickly began to look around. Only then did they realize that all those who had slacked off during the training had been pointed out by Pei Dingshan.
"What the hell...it's only the first day of training, and he already knows all of our names and looks?!"
"Hell is empty, the devil is on earth!"
In fact, the amount of morning training is not too hard for these 14 or 15-year-old students with excess energy. Even if it is remedial training, it is no big deal. But compared with the remedial training, the memory demonstrated by Pei Dingshan is a shocking education for these students. This directly laid the foundation for the current situation that no student dares to be lazy during the following summer camp.
"As expected of Pei Shuai, awesome."
On the way back to the dormitory, Zhou Yuang couldn't help but sigh.
After expressing his feelings for Pei Dingshan, Zhou Yuang suddenly turned the topic to Su Yu: "Hey, Xiaoyu, you really haven't participated in track and field related training before, right?"
This question seemed to be Zhou Yuang's own question and answer. After he finished muttering, he suddenly thought of something and scratched his hair and smiled at Su Yu with eight big white teeth: "Hey, I'm stupid. With your physique, Xiaoyu, you definitely won't have the opportunity to train."
Zhou Yuang then said with regret: "What a pity, Xiaoyu, your training movements are very standard, and your body flexibility is very good when doing those movements. If you can participate in sprint training, you may get good results."
Su Yu remained silent when hearing Zhou Yuang's words, but Jiang Yuan beside him was very proud: "Angzi, don't look at Xiao Yu's weak body, but he has been very stubborn since he was a child. As long as the task is given to him, he will complete it perfectly."
"But he is too stubborn. As long as he is given a task, he will do it even if he has to stay up all night. He has been sick many times because of this. He has had a weak health since he was a child. Later, my uncle Su and aunt Lin did not dare to let him work too hard. My parents also warned me every day to keep an eye on Xiaoyu and not let him get tired..."
Zhou Yuan listened to Jiang Yuan's mumbling and suddenly realized: "No wonder you were the one cleaning the dormitory yesterday."
"Yes, Xiaoyu looked unhappy when he got off the bus at the provincial team yesterday. I told him to either report to our school teacher or not participate in the summer camp, but he refused."
"When you first walked in yesterday, he looked very bad."
Zhou Yuang laughed knowingly: "Hey, I thought our little ancestor was annoying me yesterday."
Su Yu listened to the two big guys chattering. The fatigue from getting up early and training early made him irritable. Listening to Zhou Yuang's self-explanation, he said impatiently, "I am irritating you."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Zhou Yuang was not annoyed at all. He nodded and said "Okay, okay".
While responding to Su Yu's words, he was still expressing his regret to Jiang Yuan: "What a pity, I think our little ancestor may have good talent and can learn and master skills very quickly, but his body is too weak."
Su Yu, who was walking between the two of them, remained silent and did not respond to Zhou Yuang's words.
To be honest, he never thought that his talents were that good - maybe compared with ordinary people, he had good talents later on, but when he regretted his choice, there were also people who poured cold water on his head to extinguish his regret.
——Su Yu, right? Your talent is quite good, but it can't be compared with those real geniuses.
——I was also the first place in the provincial competition that year, but later when compared with those beasts in the national team’s junior team, I couldn’t even beat the last one in the junior team.
——Those beasts are really too strong to be human.
It was this kind of evaluation that made him retract his excessive expectations of his own talents.
Good talent?
Among them, Zhou Yuang is probably the only one with the best talent.
***
At the same time, Pei Dingshan, who had already dealt with the lazy players, stood outside the training ground.
Other assistant coaches of the provincial team came up to Pei Dingshan and asked him, "Brother Pei, have you found any good seedlings?"
As he spoke, he saw Pei Dingshan point to two names in the training booklet - Su Yu and Zhou Yuang.
Among them, Su Yu's name was circled heavily by Pei Dingshan.
The author has something to say:

From now on, you can respectfully call him Lao Pei (bushi
