Chapter 49: Chapter 49: No Critique—This Is a True Expert

“Unfortunately, I knew you were waiting for me here.”

Ling Yu glanced around cautiously, not spotting any sign of the vulture.

Xu Ying turned Ling Yu around and pushed him towards the starting line: “Don’t bother looking. From now on, the animal appearing behind you every day will refresh randomly!”

Girl, is this even human language?

Being pushed forward by the young lady behind him, Ling Yu had a resigned expression on his face.

Even though he knew Little Xu Station Chief was trying her best to help, this method was really too diabolical! It needed time to be accepted.

Ling Yu arrived at the starting line and proceeded with three timed training sessions as usual.

Each time, it was as if he was worried about strange and scary animals appearing behind him, and he performed quite well.

His three times were 13 seconds 21, 13 seconds 07, and 13 seconds 12, which was a qualitative improvement from his usual results during training at the base.

If he maintained this performance in a competition, making it to the top three was still very possible.

However, Ling Yu and Xu Ying had a tacit understanding that their goals extended beyond that.

After a short break, for the fourth test, Ling Yu was ready at the starting line, and just as the starting whistle was about to blow, his worst fear came.

He suddenly caught a whiff of a sickening stench.

A low growl of a cheetah came from behind him.

Ling Yu turned his head and locked eyes with a golden-striped cheetah.

The distance between his head and the cheetah’s was less than ten centimeters, and Brother Leopard was still panting towards him.

Ling Yu was overwhelmed by visual and olfactory sensations, and then Xu Ying’s clear voice was in his ear: “If Brother Leopard catches up to you, he’ll reward you with a kiss!”

Immediately afterward, the urgent start whistle sounded!

Without time to think, Ling Yu shot out like a lit firecracker, wind under his feet.

He leaped over the hurdles almost instinctively, landing without daring to pause even for a moment,

The second hurdle, the third hurdle… his movements became faster and faster, but the cheetah was even quicker.

Its paws pounded the ground like a death-marching drumbeat, each step making him feel breathless.

Just as Ling Yu was about to cross the last hurdle, a massive force hit him from behind. He was knocked down, dust swirling, his vision instantly blurred.

The sand was soft, so falling didn’t hurt, but Ling Yu was pinned down dominantly by the Cheetah Leader, whose paw pad was pressing on Ling Yu’s chest, making the pose look very much like that of a domineering CEO.

But facing the bloody maw of the cheetah, Ling Yu felt like he was about to be stunk to death.

Afterwards, the Cheetah Leader leaned down to give a gentle kiss on his neck, a moist kiss mark directly sending Ling Yu off.

It wasn’t until the overwhelming presence of the cheetah left Ling Yu and returned to Xu Ying’s side that Ling Yu felt his soul re-enter his body.

This “domineering Leopard President falls in love with me” moment that lasted less than a minute felt as long as a century.

Ling Yu laid on the ground, panting for a while before recovering.

Xu Ying came over, extended her hand to him, her eyes crescent-shaped with amusement: “How was the experience of being kissed by Leopard President?”

Ling Yu gave a helpless bitter smile, his expression even more bitter than a bitter melon.

His hot, strong hand grasped Xu Ying’s hand, pushing off the ground to stand up.

Dusting off the sand from his body, he cupped one fist in the other hand towards Xu Ying: “I give up.”

“You’ve definitely got a lot of tricks up your sleeve.”

The worries that occupied his mind before coming here were all swept away by Xu Ying, this big devil, with her various schemes.

The Cheetah Leader, following Xu Ying, said to Ling Yu: [When you start running, you can use your feet like this for better explosiveness.]

With that, it demonstrated the sensation of exerting force with its paw.

Upon hearing the Cheetah Leader’s words, Xu Ying’s eyes lit up with astonishing brightness!

Originally, she invited the cheetah to be a coach just to psychologically stimulate Ling Yu, causing an adrenaline surge and pushing him to break through his physical limits, to restore his confidence.

But how hadn’t she thought that a cheetah was a natural-born top sprinter, knowing how to exert force more efficiently and aware of which aspects of Ling Yu’s running posture could be optimized.

And since she was proficient in Beast Language, she could act as a translator, allowing the cheetah expert to guide the athlete! This was more practical than just stimulating adrenaline, as she couldn’t bring a cheetah to the competition.

The perspective suddenly widened!

In other words, allowing animal experts to guide Huaxia athletes might bring a new breakthrough in the athletes’ competition performance!

After all, many sports experts are currently studying animal movements to gain inspiration to advise athletes.

The downside is they don’t understand Beast Language and can’t delve deeply into discussions of experience with the animals nor comprehend their guidance.

Now, if athletes from all sports in Huaxia could have professional animal coaches as foreign aid for training…

Xu Ying felt an indescribable excitement within, perhaps Yisha City could really set up a secret training base.

Ling Yu couldn’t understand Beast Language, only hearing this domineering Leopard President “awoo awoo” at him, the sound resembling a cat acting cute, making his skin crawl, so he quickly hid behind Xu Ying.

Ling Yu, a tall guy of 1.8 meters, was shivering at this moment: “What’s it whining about, does it just want to kiss me again?”

“No! It’s teaching you how to exert more efficiently with your feet!”

Xu Ying excitedly pulled Ling Yu down: “Look at it demonstrating!”

As a layperson, she couldn’t quite see the difference in exertion when the foot was raised at different angles, but Ling Yu certainly understood Brother Leopard’s intent.

Ling Yu focused intently on the cheetah’s slightly lifted paw.

The cheetah even ran a few steps forward, allowing him to see the posture during movement clearly.

Ling Yu suddenly grew excited: “I understand, I understand!”

Getting into a preparatory starting position, referencing the cheetah’s paw, he continuously adjusted the angle of his own feet, then dashed out forcefully.

The Cheetah Leader nodded appreciatively, with a fatherly pride in its eyes: [Yes! Yes! Just like that, young man, you’re really catching on well, I’m growing more fond of you by the minute!]

Ling Yu completed a lap and returned: “What’s it ’awoo awooing’ about now?”

“It’s praising you for doing it right, your perceptiveness is high!”

The last sentence Xu Ying didn’t translate, afraid it might scare poor Ling Yu, the once-white flower, who had been kissed by Leopard President, again.

Receiving recognition from the cheetah expert, Ling Yu was eager to try again: “How about we test once more?”

“Wait a moment, I’ll call over the expert review team for you.”

With that, Xu Ying called over the remaining three cheetahs.

“Brothers, could you please assist in identifying any areas needing improvement during his movement?”

[No problem, young man, start your performance!]

Imagining they were guiding a human world champion, the cheetahs flicked their tails in excitement and pride.

Ling Yu once again stood on the starting line.

This time, his focus was different from the previous day.

His eyes held a strong desire, an ambitious fervor, akin to a cheetah eyeing its prey.

The starting whistle sounded!
