Chapter 722: 712 King (2) Second Update

Ye Shaohua glanced sideways at Coach Xu and let out a light laugh, "Coach Xu, do you know, when I play games, I’m known as the ’Great Demon King of the Wild Zone’."

Moving over to the swimming realm, it was exactly the same.

"Coach Xu, after all these years, haven’t you ever thought about our Flower Country monopolizing the gold, silver, and bronze medals in swimming?"

It was meant to be a casual joke, but Coach Xu didn’t expect Ye Shaohua to take it so seriously.

He admitted, upon hearing Ye Shaohua’s words, the blood in his bones surged with fervor.

"This ..." Coach Xu felt the sense of honor and pride buried deep within his veins emerge, and every cell in his body trembled.

"Who are the other three in the freestyle relay race this time? Give me the list; this time, I will train them myself." Ye Shaohua straightened her bath towel.

"Liu Ke, Shang Yihan," Coach Xu glanced at Ye Shaohua, "and one spot is still undecided. But Shaohua, do you really... want to train them?"

Such a thing had never occurred in the swimming team before.

"Yes, although I didn’t get the spot for the 400 meters freestyle, I am still the team leader of the swimming team. Since that’s the case, I’m responsible for these people, until we get a medal." Ye Shaohua adjusted the large bath towel around her, her posture extraordinarily cool.

Her face was turned slightly away, appearing languid, but her pitch-black eyes were tinged with a hint of crimson.

"Alright, I promise you, I’ll go confirm the last nominee with the head coach." Coach Xu’s blood boiled with her words, and he immediately went to the National Swimming Team’s head coach.

Coach Xu wasn’t young anymore; he was a member of the National Team ten years ago, and after retiring, he was hired as a coach by the National Team.

Ten years have passed, and he had coached many female swimmers, but like everyone else, he had never won a gold medal.

There was also a new coach on the swimming team, Coach He, who had under him Su Xiao, a rising star. In the Wild Zone swimming team, Coach He, as a newcomer, received better treatment than Coach Xu.

Even without Su Xiao, Coach Xu wouldn’t have many years left; he might be dismissed from the National Team. Before that, he wanted to see the Flower Country’s women’s swimming team win a medal.

He had never been this desperate before.

Knocking on the head coach’s door, it seemed the rash arrogance of youth had influenced him.

Even if they didn’t win a medal this time.

But what about it?

Each one of them had tried their best.

When Coach Xu entered, Coach He and Su Xiao were talking with the head coach.

The head coach was very fond of Su Xiao, and when he saw Coach Xu, he asked, "What’s up?"

"There’s one final spot in the relay race undecided, and I was thinking if Su Xiao could..." Coach Xu thought it over; to win a medal, every participant in the relay race couldn’t be too weak.

So he wanted to have Su Xiao join the freestyle relay race.

However, upon hearing Coach Xu’s suggestion, before Coach He could even speak, the head coach waved it off, "No, the day after the relay race is the individual freestyle competition. Su Xiao cannot waste her strength on the relay race when she has a good chance at a bronze medal."

Su Xiao was a seed player of the National Swimming Team, and Ye Shaohua only managed to place seventh in the national competition last time.

They couldn’t possibly advance in this relay race.

The head coach would not let Su Xiao waste her energy on this.

Su Xiao glanced at Coach Xu with a smile and eyes curving into crescents, "Sorry, Coach Xu."

With a trace of irony in his eyes, Coach He looked at Coach Xu, "Coach Xu, don’t you have Mei Jiamin on your team? Why not let her compete? Then all four participants would be your members."

Coach Xu’s enthusiasm was extinguished.

He looked at the three people in the office.

The head coach now seemed a bit impatient with him.

Coach He’s eyebrows carried a mocking edge.

Su Xiao was smiling at him.

At that moment, Coach Xu realized something; his status was no longer what it once was. Compared to Su Xiao, who could win medals, the athletes under him now were all old soldiers and worn-out warriors.

It seemed as if the National Team had given up on them.

Realizing this, Coach Xu excused himself to the three people inside the office before slowly retreating from the office.

When he returned to the training room, Shang Yihan and Liu Ke were already there, and Ye Shaohua hadn’t gone to rest; instead, she was speaking with the two.

Coach Xu took a deep breath.

He couldn’t lose faith now, so he called Mei Jiamin over.

"Jiamin, the last spot in the freestyle relay race goes to you. Don’t disappoint me." He looked earnestly at Mei Jiamin.

Mei Jiamin nodded, "Okay."

Although there seemed to be no hope of winning a medal, each competitor trained very seriously.

"The technique I’m going to teach you allows for controlled leg force during swimming, but it takes more than two months to master. The World Championships are just a few days away, and you might not improve much, but I hope that you can train well from now on, aiming for the Olympic Games. The four of us will still be together, still the same team." Ye Shaohua gathered the three team members.

She explained the training methods she had purchased from the system.

And they began urgent training.

With only four days until the World Championships, no one could expect significant improvement, and everyone knew it.

So the three, including Mei Jiamin, actually used their own old methods of training and didn’t employ the new techniques Ye Shaohua had described.

"If she had any secret techniques, how could she lose to Su Xiao and only get seventh place?" Mei Jiamin scoffed disdainfully.
