Chapter 486 - 339: Gaining Initial Fame
Wu Yanni continued to question, "You didn’t lie to me?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Su Bingtian retorted.
Given his relationship with Wu Yanni, they weren’t even close enough to joke around. Besides, supporting Wang Ye had no benefits for him. If what Wang Ye taught was truly useless, why would he stay here and waste time?
He couldn’t understand Wu Yanni’s thoughts.
"But, Tai Chi..." Wu Yanni wanted to say something but was interrupted by Su Bingtian.
"What’s wrong with Tai Chi? Do you really think today’s level of technology can fully explain the contents of traditional Chinese culture?" Su Bingtian shook his head and said.
"Of course not..." Wu Yanni’s eyes slightly dodged. Although today’s technology is advanced, it is far from being able to fully explain traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts knowledge. Many things cannot be detected even by the latest instruments.
One must know that as of now, humans are still continuously discovering new elements in the cosmos.
Who can guarantee that there are no undiscovered elements within the human body?
The reason why Chinese medicine can discover so many things that humans cannot detect.
Is because Chinese medicine is knowledge that China has been passing down for thousands of years,
and also knowledge completely summarized from instinct and experience.
Most of the time, instinct can easily crush rationality.
Just take the simplest example.
Everyone knows that a light push with the hand can move a car. If someone with slightly better abstract thinking can even instantly judge the speed of the car after being pushed.
But if you were asked to calculate the force on paper and the maximum speed of the car in motion? Most people would immediately be clueless.
Because, to put it simply, science is analysis—analyzing some known things and extending more things from these analyzed things.
While intuition can skip this step of analysis and extend more things based on cognition.
Although this will eventually hit a bottleneck, with limited potential, the progress speed in the early stages is certainly much faster than the current scientific research methods. For instance, in several aspects, today’s Chinese medicine can completely crush Western medicine, and it may take decades or even a century for Western medicine to surpass Chinese medicine. Only then might Chinese medicine truly decline.
As an International Elite Level athlete, Wu Yanni naturally understood this point. She even uses cupping therapy and scraping techniques to relieve muscle inflammation and reduce soreness after her regular training.
It’s undeniable that some things in traditional culture are indeed more useful than modern technology.
However...
She really couldn’t believe that Tai Chi could make Su God achieve such amazing progress?
Wu Yanni wanted to continue questioning, but Su Bingtian had already turned around and left.
He didn’t give her a chance to ask more questions.
Wu Yanni bit her lip. After struggling internally for a while, she decided to stay and learn with Wang Ye for a day to see if this so-called Tai Chi was really as powerful as Su God said.
After all, it’s just one day. Even if she really doesn’t learn anything, she wouldn’t have wasted much time.
Meanwhile,
The athletes present all crowded around Su Bingtian, congratulating him on breaking the record.
After all, sprinting is a national-level sport. Just breaking the Asia record is remarkable, and Su God broke the world record with an improvement of about 0.3 seconds. If this is known to the public, it would surely be a globally shocking event.
Not to mention Su Bingtian, the entire track and field team might receive substantial support from the country.
Sports achievements symbolize a nation’s strength, and Su Bingtian breaking the world record doesn’t only signify his personal prowess; it also represents the strength of all 1.4 billion people in China.
Of course, compared to Wang Ye, Su Bingtian’s achievement seems a bit insubstantial.
After all, the world records Wang Ye broke were more than just one, especially in the marathon event. After breaking the record, he set a new one at a level unattainable for hundreds of years in the future.
However, this action poses some risks, and it’s very likely that no one will train for this event after Wang Ye set this record. Many would feel hopeless about breaking this record and stop cultivating new athletes in this event.
But from the current facts, this trend hasn’t appeared. Instead, the number of enthusiasts for this sport is increasing, and many ordinary people who had never heard of the marathon started loving it after learning about it from Wang Ye.
In recent months, every marathon held domestically is nearly full.
The organizing committee tries its best to build wider tracks, increasing the number of spots by tens of thousands.
Yet, tens of thousands of people still can’t get a ticket or participate.
It shows how popular marathon sports have recently become.
This also indirectly promoted the development of many sports shoe manufacturers, marathon sponsors, sports water bottles, energy gels, and other sports goods manufacturers. Cities hosting marathon events have also developed, and the national average health level has significantly improved. Therefore, the saying that a country’s sports level symbolizes its national strength is not without reason.
An ordinarily unremarkable sport suddenly winning a world championship medal can lead certain regions to achieve substantial development and even directly boost the economic level of a county or province.
