Chapter 142 requires a training partner.

"Coach, I've been practicing for quite a while now, and I'm not getting the hang of it anymore. How about I find someone to practice with?"

Lu Wei felt that training alone during this period was very boring. In his opinion, practical experience was essential to improve performance.

Every day, I sweat profusely on the training field, not to prove that I can jump over a 1.5-meter box, nor to show others that I can run freely even when being dragged by a rope.

If training is for this purpose, then life is truly tragic.

After struggling with boxes, barbells, and elastic ropes every day, it becomes extremely difficult to make further progress once you reach a certain level.

Perhaps the bottleneck that needs to be overcome during training can be completely broken through in a single match. However, if it's not resolved over time and bad habits develop during training, then it will truly become a chronic problem.

Even with a flawless performance, there's no absolute chance of winning a championship; the competition is just too fierce now.

Therefore, working in isolation is not effective, and Lu Wei is not optimistic about it either.

Lu Wei's previous life's combat training was like this: from a young age, people in the tribe would have the children fight constantly to lay a foundation.

As they grow older, they will learn the skills to fight wild animals.

When he became a mature individual, he would participate in real battles. It was only then that Lu Wei felt he had made rapid progress.

The ultimate goal of learning fighting techniques and combat skills is to master the skills to destroy an enemy's body. This requires fighting alongside companions and against enemies to develop the most effective and practical techniques.

The same applies to track and field; winning a championship is the result of defeating every opponent, so he firmly believes that his advice is correct.

Wang Qiao thought about it and felt that Lu Wei's words made a lot of sense. He remembered that when he was on the track and field team, he had a teammate who always had very good results in the 800-meter event during training. However, he was the only one on the team with real strength, and the other team members were far inferior to him.

For a long time, he played single-player games. That year, his performance gave him a strong chance of winning the national championship, and the team's coaches had already counted the gold medal in his name.

However, things were a different story in the actual competition. His problems with solo training during the preliminary and semi-final rounds were fully exposed.

In world competitions, the 800-meter race is almost a high-speed battle for position. He gave it his all in the preliminaries and semifinals to make it to the final. When he stood on the starting line of the final, exhausted, he felt that he had no hope.

Lu Wei didn't want to train with only mediocre results and then have his rhythm disrupted by his opponents on the international stage, otherwise he would definitely become a laughing stock.

Even a Grand Prix king like Powell struggles to adjust his mindset on the final track, let alone Lu Wei.

"The main reason is that you usually train the 400 meters a lot, so we haven't trained you and Shen Liang together before. Since you're focusing on this event recently, let's discuss with Coach Zou Zhen and have you train together at the same time every day when you're training the 100-meter sprint!"

Wang Qiao had only reported to Yu Wei about Lu Wei's 100-meter training. When Yu Wei heard that Lu Wei wanted to add 100-meter training, he was worried that Lu Wei would be under a lot of physical pressure. However, after Wang Qiao told him about Qin Heng's evaluation of Lu Wei, Yu Wei almost spat out the water in his mouth.

Yu Wei was also an athlete in his youth, and once held the national records for the 100 meters and 200 meters. He still has a deep affection for sprinting. After considering it for a few minutes, he agreed to let Lu Wei start training for the 100 meters, but his other performances could not decline.

While the other team members were training, the two of them stood on the sidelines and discussed for a while. The more they talked, the more Wang Qiao felt a growing sense of crisis.

The skill level of teammates can sometimes have a significant impact; for example, Lu Wei couldn't find teammates in the 400-meter race.

Suddenly Shen Liang walked over: "Lu Wei, why do you have time to rest today? I've seen you rarely give yourself time to rest even during training before!"

Wang Qiao and Lu Wei exchanged a glance, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Then Lu Wei looked at Shen Liang with ill intent, his gaze like that of a hunter spotting his prey in the jungle.

"What are you doing!" Shen Liang saw Lu Wei's wicked grin and instinctively took a few steps back. Being stared at like that by Lu Wei was definitely not a good thing.

In the track and field team, they were all terrified of him. He would mess with himself if he was unhappy during training, and he would even snatch food from their own food at the buffet. It was really hard to predict what he was thinking.

"Xiao Shen, don't be afraid, Lu Wei won't eat you!"

Wang Qiao repeatedly beckoned to Shen Liang, gesturing for him to come over.

Seeing Coach Wang call him made Shen Liang feel more at ease.

He walked over timidly and asked, "Coach Wang, training is over so early? Is this a time to give Lu Wei a day off? Please don't give him a day off! He's the worst. Last time he had a day off, he went to the boxing ring and beat someone up. Who knows, this time he might go to the gymnastics hall and break someone's leg. He's too dangerous!"

"I'll teach you to slander me!" Lu Wei suddenly stepped forward and reached out to grab Shen Liang's neck.

Fortunately, Shen Liang was prepared before he spoke. He had already started running away when Lu Wei reached out, his hand brushing past Shen Liang's clothes.

"Shen Liang, your startup is pretty good!"

Wang Qiao was overjoyed. When Lu Wei said he wanted to find someone for real combat, this kid was the first person he thought of. Judging from the explosive power he just showed, he could definitely be a good training partner for Lu Wei.

Although he probably couldn't outrun Lu Wei in the 100 meters, he did cause Lu Wei a lot of trouble during the race. If it were the 60 meters, Lu Wei couldn't guarantee he'd beat him.

“Starting tomorrow, Lu Wei will train with you. Try to run one or two matches with Lu Wei every day when you have some free time, just like practice for actual combat, okay?”

Wang Qiao wanted to see Shen Liang's attitude. In fact, he had already planned to discuss this matter with Zou Zhen after training in the afternoon. Now, he wanted to talk to Shen Liang firstly to give him a heads-up and prepare him mentally, and secondly to see what Shen Liang's mindset was about this matter.

"Okay, I have no objection as long as Coach Zou agrees. Right now, the three of us, Zhang Yuanteng and Hu Kai, are all mentally exhausted from training. These are the people we compete with every day."

"Train with Lu Wei! He's so big, he'll never beat me at the start. I saw you guys practicing mid-race techniques the other day, and I thought the 100-meter dash was just a quick cram session. If I'd known you were training for the 100-meter dash, I would have already come and humiliated you. Get ready to get crushed!"

As he spoke, Shen Liang adopted an attitude of not being convinced by anyone.
