On the mountainside of the winding road, Yu Nian lay down in the middle of the road with his arms spread out. His chest heaved violently, and sweat condensed on the tips of his hair, dripping to the ground.
The coach walked up to him and sat down: "You didn't finish the skate."
Yu Nian's fingers touched the long board on one side and he gasped: "Yes, I didn't finish the entire slide."
Previously, Yu Nian had been conducting segmented training on this majestic mountain simulated by the system.
Three days ago, as the course progressed, he began to try out the entire course, but was unable to complete it once.
Several trial slides were either interrupted due to mistakes or fell out of the apex during continuous cornering.
The same is true this time.
The coach asked: "Do you know why your progress is stuck here?"
A month ago, Yu Nian's course progress had reached two-thirds.
A month has passed, and the last third of the course is like a hurdle, making it difficult to advance.
Yu Nian moved his fingers, took off his gloves that were soaked with sweat, and replied: "I don't have enough physical fitness."
Whether it is Wenxi Mountain or Fangshoushan Mountain, the total length of the winding mountain road does not exceed five kilometers. The curves are challenging but not continuous sharp bends. Yunian can get time to buffer and adjust between curves.
These two mountains can be rappelled within ten minutes, which is more than enough time.
However, in this high mountain within the system, the length of the winding mountain road has suddenly increased to ten kilometers, and the frequency of curves has also increased significantly.
Having been training in sections before, Yu Nian was able to complete each section of downhill beautifully with his improved technique.
However, when he tried to rappel the whole way, the ten-kilometer winding mountain road completely exposed his lack of physical fitness.
In fact, Wu Qian also discovered this during training with the Downhill Association and added some physical training to him.
However, physical training does not yield results overnight. Within a month, his physical fitness growth was limited.
The coach volleyed a little higher, and Yu Nian's training results quantification form appeared in mid-air.
There are detailed data analysis and conclusion suggestions above.
He dragged over a picture, which showed a clear peak curve.
"At the beginning of the downhill descent, your condition shows a rapid upward trend, reaching the peak at the ninth minute, and then due to physical exhaustion, the condition declines." The coach pointed to the fifteenth minute on the abscissa, where the line reached the lowest point, and then appeared.
A relatively stable low value.
"Fifteen minutes is the limit of your physical strength. Even if you brace yourself mentally at this time, it will be difficult to control your thinking and not be distracted. In addition, your physical strength cannot keep up, and you will make frequent mistakes."
Fifteen minutes. Yu Nian recited this time number silently in his mind.
Tianmen Mountain Tongtian Avenue, with a total length of 10.77 kilometers, is one minute longer than the winding road of this mountain in the system.
But the difficulty of Tongtian Avenue is not far from these ten kilometers, but the curves one after another.
Continuous sharp turns consume more physical energy.
The coach continued: "It is for this reason that the progress of the course is getting slower and slower now. The prerequisite for subsequent courses is that your physical fitness can keep up."
Yu Nian's breathing gradually calmed down and he nodded.
The existence of the training space of the system is ultimately simulated.
It can perfectly project Yu Nian's physical data in reality into this space, allowing Yu Nian to obtain a training experience that is consistent with reality.
Yes, experience.
Theoretically, when the body data is completely consistent, the techniques that Yu Nian can learn in the system space can also be learned in reality.
So when Yu Nian finished studying the courses and techniques here, his experience was imprinted on his brain. When he returned to reality, he could form a body memory through training and master it completely.
However, physical fitness data, which relies entirely on real-life exercise, can only be fed back to the system space from reality.
If he wants to go further in this field, Yu Nian must first improve his physical fitness in reality.
He slowly opened his eyes and exited the system space.
Next to him, Deng Jingwei saw that he was awake and handed him a bottle of mineral water.
Yu Nian took it and saw Wu Qian and other members of the association sitting aside, looking at the electronic screen in the hall with some anxiety on their faces.
They are waiting for the flight now.
The Tianmen Mountain Longboard Downhill Open will be held in three days. As the schedule approaches, the entire Tianmen Mountain Tongtian Avenue has been closed. The competition committee is in the process of laying out and inspecting the track.
The day before the competition, the track will be temporarily opened to allow contestants to come and familiarize themselves with the track conditions, and then closed until the competition for places in the first qualifying round officially begins.
Everyone originally planned to take a flight today and arrive in Hunan Province in the evening. There would be more than enough rest time tonight and tomorrow, and then the day after tomorrow, we could go there and familiarize ourselves with the track as arranged by the competition committee.
But who would have thought that a sudden heavy rain would cause the flight to be delayed for two hours.
Yu Nian just took advantage of this period of time to enter the system space for training.
Wu Qian was pacing back and forth with a bad expression: "Why did it suddenly start raining? Wasn't the weather forecast always sunny?"
Others scratched their heads: "It's summer, and the rain comes very quickly. If we wait a little longer, it should stop soon."
However, until the afternoon, the heavy rain still continued, and the airlines were not sure when flights would resume.
According to the plan, they should have arrived in Hunan Province by this time.
Wu Qian was anxious and glanced at Yu Nian. This time, their association had a total of three participation places. Except for Yu Nian, the other two had participated in the Tianmen Mountain downhill competition several times. Besides, the association itself also held activities from time to time, leading
Bring members to Tianmen Mountain for training.
It can be said that in the entire association, except for Yu Nian, everyone else has set foot on this track at least ten times.
Only Yu Nian has never set foot in Tianmen Mountain.
With the rain, you won't be able to get to know the track in time, right?
Wu Qian took a deep breath: "No wait, let's take a look at the high-speed train."
Wu Zheng saw his brother's unhappy expression and quickly took out his mobile phone to check. After entering the destination, his eyes widened: "Brother, it says that several sections of track are closed due to landslides. They are being cleaned up. Direct trains are all closed."
Stopped."
"Where's the transfer?"
"No, ticket sales have been suspended for several flights."
Wu Qian's eyelids twitched and he frowned: "Try taking a taxi, just take the expressway across the province."
Wu Zheng hurriedly opened the taxi app: "It still doesn't work..."
"how so?"
"This rain is really strange."
Everyone in the association started discussing in low voices.
"If you keep waiting like this, you won't really be able to get familiar with the track, right?"
Deng Jingwei did not understand the seriousness of the matter. He thought it was just an ordinary competition, with a group of longboard enthusiasts chasing each other.
It wasn't until someone told him how many downhill climbers had fallen to death on this road that Deng Jingwei's eyes widened and he was speechless for a long time.
He couldn't figure out why Yu Nian wanted to participate in such a highly dangerous competition.
Yu Nian looked up and saw that the electronic screen in the lobby showed that the flight was delayed, but no estimated departure time was given.
When land transportation is also cut off, they can only wait here.
After another two hours, the airport ground staff came over to explain the situation and offered a packed lunch to express their apology.
But no one present had any intention of eating, and they all looked at Yu Nian with worried faces.
Yu Nian took out his chopsticks, opened the lid of the lunch box, and ate it slowly: "Eat it, it tastes pretty good."
Seeing him like this, other people began to eat without knowing the taste.
Wu Qian also picked up the chopsticks and forced a smile to himself: "Eat, eat well, drink well and rest well, so that you can compete physically."
Maybe it's not that bad...maybe it's still too late...
Wu Qian took a chopstick of rice and put it into his mouth. He couldn't swallow it for a long time.
He clenched his chopsticks and looked at Yu Nian, with self-blame in his eyes: "It's my fault, I should have stopped training earlier and left for Tianmen Mountain earlier."
Yu Nian shook his head.
He knew in his heart that even if he arrived at Tianmen Mountain early, various accidents would surely occur.
Just like this rainstorm that no one expected, the nakedness exudes undisguised malice.
A whole night passed, and a whole day passed.
The hearts of everyone in the association slowly sank.
By the time traffic resumed, planes resumed, and a group of people arrived in Hunan Province, it was already the opening day of the track.
They quickly drove to Tianmen Mountain.
is there time?
They tried to catch up with the opening time of the track and buy Yu Nian enough time to get familiar with the track.
The sun was setting in the west, indicating that the day had begun to come to an end. On the way to Tongtian Avenue, a group of longboarders from various countries and races were chatting and laughing, and were walking back to the route.
When they saw this group of people from the S City Downhill Association, they looked a little curious. At this point, there are still people coming here?
Going against the flow of people, a group of people hurriedly carried longboards.
Can you make it--
When they arrived at the place, everyone saw that the staff had just closed the track and moved the "no entry" sign to the center of the road.
The footsteps of a group of people came to an abrupt halt.
It was as if something was smugly mocking their overestimation.
For the first time, Wu Qian and others felt at a loss as they were being teased.
"How... could this happen?" someone asked.
The competition staff over there looked at them strangely: "You're here to familiarize yourself with the track? Why are you here now? It's almost dark. It's closed. You can go back."
Wu Qian requested: "It's raining heavily and the flight has been delayed. Brother, can you let us go in and give it a try? Just one trip."
The staff shook their heads: "No, you can't open it again after it's closed. I told you to be more careful. Who asked you to come so late?"
Yu Nian listened to their conversation and looked at the winding road in the distance.
The mountains are lush and lush, and everything you see is green, vague green, thick green, all green.
Only the gray-white road is like a giant dragon cutting through thorns, swinging its body among the layers of green waves, soaring upward.
The gray-white road winds in front of the mountains, guiding people's eyes to the extremely high and far blue sky.
The sky and the earth are far away, vast and majestic.
This is the way to heaven, the ground to heaven.
Wu Qian's voice sounded next to him, recalling Yu Nian's somewhat distant thoughts.
"Yu Nian, give up this competition. Let's come back next year." After failing to communicate with the staff, he said this decisively to Yu Nian.
It's impossible, no one has ever tried to start a race like this without being familiar with the track.
Yu Nian's skills are indeed very good, but if no one can do it, neither can he.
Wu Qian valued Yu Nian and this game, but what he valued even more was Yu Nian's unlimited future.
Wu Qian would never allow anything like getting injured because he stepped onto the track rashly due to lack of preparation.
If you give up this time, there will be a next time, and the next time, this young man will always shine on this avenue to the sky.
At that time, Yu Nian will be a Yu Nian who is familiar with the track and is in the best physical and technical condition.
Wu Qian said: "By that time, your skills will be more mature and your physical fitness will also improve. I believe you will definitely get a good ranking."
The people nearby agreed.
"Yes, just give up this time. Tianmen Mountain is different from Wenxi Mountain and Fangshoushan Mountain. This road is too difficult."
"Yun Nian, we all believe that you are capable. It will be the same if you come next year. You don't have to feel sorry."
As downhill riders, each of them naturally longs for this track, and they also know that Yu Nian will not be willing to give up like this.
But it's too dangerous. I've never set foot on the ladder, and I'm not familiar with the track. On the ninety-nine turns in Tianmen Mountain, no matter how good the protective measures are, there are still many dangers.
Deng Jingwei stood nearby and continued to persuade.
Give up?
Yu Nian didn't speak for a long time.
He remembered the "Symphony of Destiny" played in Liu Chuan's office on the first day he came here.
The strings and the clarinet played in unison, and the dark and indifferent movement showed the glimpse of fate. The melody called fate spread its teeth, shouted, roared, and tried to get out of every corner and space.
It whispered and hinted maliciously, trying to get him to accept the arrangement and the established track.
Until the sonorous and grand horn sounded, grabbing the throat of fate, everything came to an abrupt end.
For a long time, Yu Nian murmured: "If it's just this level..."
If the world's malice towards him was only to this extent, it would not be enough.
