It took a long time for Wang Chao to digest what Tang Yuanyuan said.

Tang Yuanyuan said that she did not have Monstrous Strength Talent.

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

Tang Yuanyuan said that in fact, the national men's and women's table tennis teams conduct player talent statistics every year, especially when new players join the team. What talents they have often become a hot topic that everyone talks about. Since you Wang Chao have never heard of my name, it obviously proves that I don't have Monstrous Strength Talent.

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 he was holding something back. After a long time, he straightened his face and said seriously, "Well, that's right, that's the case."

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

Recalling the scene where he was knocked away just now, he added with a dark face, "Don't fucking tell me that a triangle is the most stable structure."

Tang Yuanyuan rolled his eyes at him, as if he disliked him, and then said matter-of-factly, "Of course I trained it."

Wang Chao asked, "What to practice?"

Tang Yuanyuan suddenly became proud and raised his head slightly, like a little rooster taking the lead in crowing. "Qigong is passed down from my ancestors in the Tang family."

Wang Chao didn't say anything for a long time.

He was really shocked that he was a little burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

The word qigong is actually very sensitive. In previous lives, qigong masters often became the exclusive rank of liars.

Of course, this is a liar's problem, not a qigong problem.

If you want to ask if there is such a thing as qigong, then obviously it does.

But if you want to ask if it is that mysterious, it is obviously not the case. At least, there are no two worlds of past and future that Wang Chao knows. Even if it once existed, it must have been lost.

In fact, there was a time in the previous life on Blue Star when Qigong was a disaster for the country of China. It was not that Qigong itself was faulty, but that a large number of scammers deceived people under the guise of practicing Qigong. Many people went crazy, were brainwashed, and were defrauded of their money, which led to many tragedies. Later, the government directly banned this trend.

This also leaves no answer to the question "Does China have real qigong?"

Wang Chao can accept that practicing qigong can strengthen the body and prolong life, but he will never accept that practicing qigong can develop a body that is more powerful than a man, because this thing is unscientific.

As we all know, force, volume, and weight should be in a mutually reinforcing relationship, which is consistent with classical physics.

But Tang Yuanyuan was very determined, and she told Wang Chao a long history.

The Tang family is a common surname in Jin Province, and the Tang Yuanyuan family is a well-known family in the local area. Although it has declined now, the family tree has not been broken, and has continued for nearly a hundred generations. It is said that the ancestor was a palace physician, a doctor named Tang who is recorded in historical materials. He has made outstanding contributions to Chinese traditional Chinese medicine. His historical status is probably similar to Hua Tuo or Sun Simiao on Blue Star.

Therefore, the ancestors of the Tang family handed down a set of things to strengthen the body and prolong life, which are somewhat similar to the "Five Animal Opera" or "Ten Duan Brocade" on Blue Star. It is said that if you practice diligently every day, you can strengthen your body, cure diseases and strengthen your body. Doctor Tang lived to be 107 years old in history, which shows that this statement has a certain degree of authenticity.

Of course, like "Five Animals", this set of things has been summarized and summarized in this era of information explosion, and has become a routine gymnastics that anyone can search for articles on the Internet, watch videos, and exercise with the up owner.

However, just like the "24 Simple Tai Chi Forms" on Blue Star, the Tang family's set of things has been circulated in a simplified version. This is not because the Tang family cherishes their brooms, but because everyone is pursuing high-tech health these days, and no one is willing to take the pain of practicing., so even if the Tang family takes out the complete thing, I'm afraid no one will learn it. Instead, it is this simple version. It is said that there are still many people practicing it in Shanxi Province, mostly old men over fifty years old. They use this simple version as broadcast gymnastics.

As for Tang Yuanyuan, he was naturally forced by his family to practice the full version since he was a child. From the age of five to now being eighteen years old, there has been no interruption for a day in these thirteen years.

And her strength increased unconsciously. As for when she completed the leap, she had no idea. She only knew that suddenly, she became Monstrous Strength Girl.

"Are your family members the same as you?" Wang Chao was so amazed that he couldn't help but ask.

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

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

Tang Yuanyuan said, "Of course."

"Isn't this 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 that mysterious."

"No, you don't understand. This is not a problem with the skills, but a problem with the aura of heaven and earth." Tang Yuanyuan frowned slightly and said seriously, "Actually, I think I should be a martial arts wizard, so I can practice the ancestral skills of the Tang family in the end of the Dharma era when the aura does not exist."

Wang Chao thought she was joking, but after carefully examining her eyebrows, eyes and expression, she was sure that she was serious.

Wang Chao suddenly heard a "pop" sound next to him, but it was Liu Wen who was holding it in, accidentally letting out air from his mouth, and his face turned red.

Wang Chao had a vague understanding, and he asked Tang Yuanyuan tentatively, "Do you still remember what my senior brother Luo Jiu said after defeating Dragon Team in the final last year?"

"The memory is profound." Tang Yuanyuan was immediately excited. "He said, if God had not given birth to me, Luo Xiaojiu, the raw rubber would have been like a long night."

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

Tang Yuanyuan's eyes widened. "Do you even need to ask? Of course it's cool, it's so cool!"

In fact, no one thought it was cool, they all thought it was average. This was the consensus of the vast majority of people within Huaping. Cai Guodong also talked to Luo Jiu afterward, asking him not to talk nonsense in future interviews and affect Huaping's international image.

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

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

He totally gets it.

The strange girl in front of me, like Luo Jiu, is also a severe poisoning patient of online novels.

No, she is more serious than Luo Jiu, and it has reached the point where it affects daily cognition.

Does she have Monstrous Strength Talent?

No doubt there is.

But she refused to admit it. She felt that her strange powers were not innate but acquired. As for why other people in the family did not develop them, it was because they had bad bones.

You see, it's pretty self-explanatory. After all, the development of online novels has already formed a complete theoretical closed loop.

Tang Yuanyuan didn't know that she had become a disease in Wang Chao's heart. She said enthusiastically, "How about you, since you are my partner, why don't you get up early from tomorrow to practice kung fu with me? Maybe in just a month, you can become as powerful as me."

Wang Chao couldn't help but laugh, "Am I also a martial arts prodigy?"

Tang Yuanyuan It doesn't matter. "Try it, you won't lose a piece of meat."

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

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

Tang Yuanyuan nodded, shook his head again, feeling a little troubled, and sighed, "Many teammates have practiced with me, but they always give up after a few days, and have no ambition to fight at all. Sure enough, God only made me a martial arts wizard, which makes sense."

Wang Chao said "Oh" again, and he automatically translated Tang Yuanyuan's words into adult language in his mind: The teammates practiced with Tang Yuanyuan for a while, but found that it had no effect and could not increase their strength, so they gave up, that's all.

This is probably the reason why Liu Wen hinted him not to agree.

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

In fact, practicing Qigong is really not an easy thing.

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

Tang Yuanyuan said that this was to absorb the first ray of vitality between heaven and earth in the early morning, and also used a lot of Internet novel terms such as the beginning of the world and the coming of purple energy from the east. But in fact, in Wang Chao's view, it was not that mysterious. They just found an opportunity to truly breathe fresh air in the heavily polluted imperial capital.

However, the actual content of the Tang family's ancestral exercises that Tang Yuanyuan taught him 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 it, he discovered that this thing was really complicated, quite complicated, and there were many movements, more than eighty in total, and they had to be done slowly. It would take Tang Yuanyuan half an hour to complete the whole set.

So in fact, Tang Yuanyuan does the exercise four times every morning.

But now, Wang Chao can only start learning one action at a time.

The first movement at the beginning is very shameful. Wang Chao is required to get down on all fours and assume the majestic posture of a tiger perched on a hill. It requires holding the head high and chest high. There are strict requirements on the position and posture of the hands and feet. There are detailed regulations on which of the five fingers are extended and which are curled. The whole movement must be spirited and must show the aura of the king of beasts.

Wang Chao thought he was a genius, but when he actually started practicing, he discovered that although his body had excellent athletic talent, it 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 on and not move, but this posture was awkward. Wang Chao couldn't stand it within a minute, and the posture began to deform, so he was forcibly corrected by Tang Yuanyuan.

In addition to difficult postures, breathing is also difficult.

While maintaining the correct posture, you must also have the correct breathing frequency, which may be long or short, fast or slow. It is very complicated. According to Tang Yuanyuan, it is impossible to remember it completely by relying on the brain. The only way is to practice. Just like the muscle memory of athletes, practicing this also requires breathing memory.

Just remember the breathing method that matches each movement.

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

Facts have proved that although Monstrous Strength Girl is very obedient on the court, he is really fierce in his 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 kung fu every year when she went 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 prodigy" in the Tang family, she must have been proud and reserved at home. In order to maintain the image of a master in front of the younger generation, it is perfectly reasonable for her to be more old-fashioned.

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

In the final analysis, it is because these strange postures use and exercise the muscles of the body, which are completely different from those practiced during golf, and even go against any conventional human movements.

This is a serious attempt to imitate the tiger, not only in posture, but also in spirit and charm.

In other words, what he was trained to do was actually areas that he couldn't usually train at all.

Wang Chao can feel that this set of things from the Tang family is still meaningful. Although it may not have any substantial effect on playing basketball, it can definitely strengthen the body and prolong life.

So he followed the practice very seriously.

But he finally understood why the members of the women's team couldn't hold on.

Probably not because practicing is too hard, nor because I got up too early, nor 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 Chinese Table Tennis Women's Team. They have practiced in sports schools since childhood and received closed training. They are still very pure and tender-faced. If they are allowed to lie on the ground and learn from tigers, it may be difficult for them to overcome their psychological barriers.

The reason why Tang Yuanyuan's mental quality is so good during the competition is probably because she has followed her grandfather to learn various animals since she was a child, crawling, rolling, and howling. Over time, she has long turned into a shameless and shameless temper. This temperament has become her biggest advantage during the competition.

Wang Chao naturally wanted to be a shameless person, so he was very involved in learning and even enjoyed it.

Four days later, he began practicing bear poses.

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

The practice time flew by so fast. Wang Chao could not feel any benefit from the practice for the time being. Even the effects of the medicine had not yet been reflected. On the contrary, because he practiced two hours earlier every day, he was very tired during training. His performance against Xiao Fei + Liu Wen actually declined compared to the previous week.

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

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 medicinal food.

Do you still remember the special training the master and apprentice had at the Jiangcheng City Team base during the Spring Festival?

He Jingping has been thinking about supplementing Wang Chao. The Spring Festival period was a good opportunity. However, as major competitions kicked off and Table Tennis Super League resumed, he would no longer have the opportunity to stay with Wang Chao stably and for a long time, so this supplement came to an end for the time being.

But now the opportunity has come again.

After winning the mixed doubles spot, Wang Chao's life will become very stable. He will not participate in Table Tennis Super League or international singles competitions. He will focus on practicing mixed doubles and is not allowed to participate in any competitions before defeating Liu Wen and Xiao Fei.

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

Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan You need to practice for at least a month before you start.

So He Jingping's drug supplement plan was once again put on the agenda.

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

"Real strength comes from self-cultivation. If you take medicine to supplement it, the potency of the medicine you take is 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 Chao Li was too lazy to pay attention to her and ate up the porridge in just three mouthfuls.

He remembered clearly that the list of medicinal materials he occasionally found in the trash can at the city team base was later purchased for more than 100,000 yuan.

This bowl of porridge is really not cheap. It was all paid for by Old He himself. He had no wife or children and was alone. He spent all his money on his disciples.

Wang Chao is not polite to He Jingping, because he really needs to strengthen his strength.

He doesn't need to find ways to repay Old He's kindness. The only thing he can do is to train harder and strive to directly win the mixed doubles Men's Singles championship by the end of this year and bring Old He to glory.

Liu Wen and Xiao Fei showed obvious curiosity that Wang Chao could persist in practicing Qigong. They did not even understand what Wang Chao was trying to do.

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

His training volume has not been enough for a long time. During this period of mixed doubles training, he devoted most of his energy to building a technical and tactical system and getting used to it. His training volume was much less than that in singles.

He needs to find an opportunity to practice more.

And practicing with Tang Yuanyuan is the best additional practice.

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

Therefore, since Tang Yuanyuan is my partner, I can coax her.

In the last round of this weekend, Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan naturally lost to Xiao Fei and Liu Wen.

Before leaving the venue, Xiao Fei reminded Wang Chao: "Don't forget, you have to compete with the other two groups next weekend... It's okay to lose to us, but it will be miserable for you if you lose to them."

This was a very polite thing to say, just saying "your training this week was terrible".

Wang Chao could only nod.

Over the next week, Wang Chao finally felt that he was starting to gain strength.

This is the result of the combination of daily heavy exercise, medication, and Tang family's ancestral skills, which allowed him to occasionally hit a very sharp forehand when practicing. This afternoon, after hitting Xiao Fei three times in a row, Xiao Fei could not suppress his surprise and asked him, "Is that girl's skills really effective?"

Even Liu Wen's eyes widened, wondering whether he should start practicing again.

If it can really increase your strength, what is the little shame of learning about animals?

Wang Chao said nothing, because Tang Yuanyuan beside him had his head raised to the sky, and the old-fashioned look on his face was even more extreme.

She probably wanted to show off as a master, but she looked more like a child trying to learn to be an adult.

It wasn't until Tang Yuanyuan went to the bathroom midway that Wang Chao found the 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.

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

To be precise, I turned 19 in October this year.

Theoretically speaking, for an 18-year-old kid, if the primary development is not sufficient, it is completely reasonable for him to undergo secondary development after receiving sufficient nutrition and even drug stimulation.

"So, it really has nothing to do with practicing?" Liu Wen refused to give up, because she has always been the type who overwhelms the entire team with speed but obviously lacks strength. Her desire for power is very strong.

Wang Chao nodded firmly. "It doesn't matter at all."

But when Tang Yuanyuan came back from going to the toilet, everyone's words were different.

"Yuanyuan, you are so lucky to have found a partner who is as talented as you in martial arts." These were the exact words of Liu Wen.

"I really envy Wang Chao. Hey, if I were more talented, I would practice with you." These are the exact words of Xiao Fei.

"Hey, my medicinal diet is Tuyile. If I really want to increase my strength, I have to rely on your ancestral skills." These are the exact words of He Jingping.

No one thought about exposing the truth, because everyone thought it was quite interesting to see Tang Yuanyuan being proud of his farts all day long, so they just treated it like a kid.

This girl is like a child. If you go toe-to-toe with her, she will knock you away, but if you stroke her hair, she will be very obedient and cooperative, and become a good girl.

Time gradually passed, and before I knew it, it was the weekend again.

Three days later will be the drawing ceremony for Qatar Open, and before tomorrow, Chinese Table Tennis Association must submit the entry list for this open competition.

After Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan finished playing another game, Cai Guodong appeared at the door with the entire Huaping coaching staff.

Also appearing are Gao Mingyuan, Lu Feiyang, Wang Yu, and Shen Sha.

The real test comes.

Thanks to "Haiziyuan" for the 1500 coin reward.

Thanks to "Book Friends 20190112164319067" for the 100-coin reward.
