[Competition] The Road to Champion of the Seventh Prince of the Dragon Palace

Because all the Olympic events that Ao Ling has participated in, whether individual or relay, have reached the Olympic standard, so this year's spring championship is just a practice match for him to maintain his state.

Because this year is the Olympic year, even the name of this event has been changed to "Spring Swimming Championship and Olympic Qualification Competition". The strong Olympic atmosphere can be seen everywhere, making all athletes nervous.

In fact, the number of people in the national team that has obtained individual Olympic qualifications has almost been determined. Those who can participate will definitely be able to participate, and there are not many opportunities for those who cannot participate. What everyone is fighting for is actually a relay qualification, even if it is Substitute eligibility.

With the growth of body and technology, the 18-year-old Ao Ling, the 22-year-old Fan Yuhao and the 23-year-old Fu Xingtu have opened up a certain gap with him.

Especially Fan Yuhao, because since Fu Xingtu gave up butterfly stroke, Ao Ling put his focus on butterfly stroke intentionally or unintentionally.

And his progress in the butterfly stroke is also amazing. In just a few months, the sprint speed in a training session has approached the world record.

On the surface, Shen Xingguo just laughed and boasted a few words, but in fact he was more excited than Ao Ling in his heart. According to Ao Ling's current progress speed, this is no longer heading for the Olympic champion, but heading straight for the Olympic record.

But Fu Xingtu was not happy, he felt that it was because of him that Ao Ling put his focus on the butterfly stroke.

But he couldn't discuss anything with the little guy, because he was the one who insisted Ao Ling make the butterfly stroke the main event.

In all fairness, at that time, why didn't he have a little thought of wanting to come back?

But he didn't want Ao Ling to ignore freestyle practice because of this reason, because he also has the ability to break the Olympic record in short-distance freestyle.

So, Fu Xingtu shared his thoughts with Ao Ling, but what he never expected was a disgusted look from the little thing.

"..."

Fu Xingtu said: "I want to beat you, and I will beat you with my strength on the field. You don't need to let me go."

Ao Ling raised her chin: "Who let you go, don't be too sentimental. I just focus on improving butterfly strokes because I feel more comfortable swimming butterfly strokes now."

Fu Xingtu looked at him with a "Really, I don't believe it" eyes, and Ao Ling immediately added: "Don't worry, even if I haven't practiced much freestyle during this time, you can't swim against me."

Then the next day, he was slapped in the face. Fu Xingtu also has top strength in this event. It is not impossible to beat him a few times when he is in good condition.

So, Ao Ling lost the 100-meter freestyle championship, and looking back, lost the 50-meter freestyle championship.

Fu Xingtu raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Slap me in the face, let's see if you dare to say that you can swim past me without practicing?"

Ao Ling smiled and patted his head, imitating his tone and said: "Actually, you have made great progress."

Fu Xingtu couldn't bear his mischievous little eyes, took his hand and held it in the palm of his hand, and cursed softly but dotingly: "Little bastard."

The little bastard rushed over to hug him, raised his head and smiled at him: "I'm a little bastard, what are you, big bastard?"

"Get out, you are not my egg."

"Can you lay eggs? Let me see if you lay one."

"..."

The list of the national team's foreign training in the United States came out, and there were only a dozen male and female players in total.

There are a total of four people in province C, but they are divided into two groups. The first group is Ao Ling and Fu Xingtu, together with several female players in province R. The second group is Liang Fan and Shen Fei. They will go after Ao Ling and the others come back in May. .

And Shen Xingguo was also assigned to the second group, Fu Xingtu and Ao Ling's group was led by Yang Bin.

Before going to the United States, Liang Fan contacted Qi Yi, because the place where they were going to train happened to be in the same city as Qi Yi, but not in the same venue.

Liang Fan was full of thoughts about going to the United States to meet Qi Yi, and even felt that the second group would take more than a month to go, and he couldn't wait.

Shen Fei reminded him: "When the time comes, you can come back with Qi Yi, wouldn't it be better."

After Liang Fan thought about it, it seemed very reasonable, so he sent a video call to Qi Yi: "Wait another forty days, and I can go to the United States to see you."

"See what, did you come to the United States to fall in love? Train hard, don't waste such a good opportunity." Qi Yi's cold voice came from the phone, and everyone in the dormitory could hear it clearly.

Liang Fan was a little unconvinced: "Is it okay if I use the rest time to see you? Don't delay the training."

"But I don't want to see you, don't disturb my training, goodbye!"

Ao Ling’s imaginary trip to the United States is like this: there are very professional swimming coaches and black technology equipment, which opened his eyes and learned some of the most cutting-edge swimming techniques in the world. Let's take a look at the training methods of American swimmers and learn some experience from them.

However, the reality is not what he imagined. On the first day he came to the United States, he felt in a bad state due to jet lag.

Whether it is the waiters who are stationed in the hotel or the administrator of the swimming pool, their attitudes towards them are very cold, even a little unfriendly.

This made him deeply understand the hesitation of being unfamiliar with life in a foreign country, and it seems that the only person he can rely on is Fu Xingtu.

But Fu Xingtu is not much better than him, and he also has to face the troubles of jet lag and adapting to the environment.

The two could only support each other, and began a forty-day foreign training.

If the incompatibility in life can still be overcome, then the difficulties encountered in training made him almost collapse.

Their coach is a middle-aged man in his 40s named Jones. He looks fierce and speaks very rudely. He is not at all as amiable as Shen Xingguo.

His training also made Ao Ling very unbearable. The training plan was completely different from when he was in China. , because Ao Ling has never touched it before, so I have to spend my brain to remember it.

When in China, whether it is Fu Xingtu or Shen Xingguo, the training plan of the day will be adjusted according to the state of the athletes, especially Shen Xingguo, he is a coach who pays great attention to observing the athletes and making changes. Ao Ling has been training with him From the first day, he quickly adapted to his training methods.

However, this coach Jones, he doesn't care about the physical condition or competitive state of the athletes at all. It's those training plans and training volume every day, and he makes him repeat those strange training plans endlessly.

He will also correct Ao Ling's technical movements, but only say it once, regardless of whether Ao Ling understands it or not, he will let him into the water after speaking.

Little Dragon Cub is really suffering, and feels like he is suffering here every day.

The most important thing is that their training venue is outdoors, and they have to carry out a training plan of tens of thousands of meters under the sun every day.

He couldn't eat well or live well now, because he was exposed to the sun, and he was several degrees dark within two days.

Within a few days, he was overwhelmed and fell ill!

The whole person had a fever of 39°, and taking antipyretics didn't help, and I lost energy after repeated repetitions. I couldn't go to training, so I could only stay in the room to rest.

The time for external training is very tight, and the training of the whole group cannot be stopped because of him alone. Everyone still has tasks, and the Olympic Games is coming, so we must make good use of every minute and every second.

Fu Xingtu originally wanted to stay and take care of him, but Yang Bin disagreed: "He will be taken care of when he is sick. Don't forget what you are here for. The country spends so much money to let you go out for training to train athletes, not babysitters. "

Fu Xingtu gave Yang Bin a cold look, and wanted to say that all the expenses of this foreign training can be borne by himself, so he can shut up.

But Ao Ling squeezed his hand: "You go to training, I have taken antipyretics and slept, you will be back soon."

It is true that opportunities for foreign training are rare, and Ao Ling does not want Fu Xingtu to delay training because of himself.

After everyone left, Ao Ling fell asleep on the bed.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up tormented by the burning pain in his throat.

Dazedly, he stretched out his hand and fumbled on the bedside table. He remembered that Fu Xingtu had poured him a glass of water before he left, but after touching for a long time, he accidentally knocked over the glass, and the whole glass of cold water was spilled on the quilt.

Ao Ling was sober now, and sat up from the bed with difficulty. He was weak now, and because of the antipyretics he had taken, he was sweating profusely, and his T-shirt was soaked.

Now the bed sheet and quilt cover are also wet, and he looks like he has just been fished out of the water. His condition is worse than the training plan after swimming tens of thousands of meters.

He got off the bed, took off his T-shirt and shorts, and lay down on Fu Xingtu's bed next to him. Then he pulled his whole life over his head, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

He wanted to go home, not to Province C, nor to Wu Juan, but to his old Dragon King father and brothers.

But he can't go back, he is no longer the Seventh Prince of the Dragon Palace, he is now just a mortal, who will get sick, feel uncomfortable, and encounter various difficulties.

Today is his 18th birthday, but what greeted him was hiding in bed and crying secretly after a serious illness.

He even began to panic and feel uneasy. If he failed to meet expectations in the foreign training and could not adjust in time after returning home, would it affect the Olympic Games in August?

If he can't even win a championship like the World Championships, will he disappoint Director Shen and Fu Xingtu? I don't know how happy those who scolded him on the Internet will be.

Thinking about the mocking remarks they had made on Weibo when they were having a carnival, the little dragon cub was even more sad, tears were falling down, and he even cried aloud under the quilt.

I don't know how long I cried, but suddenly I heard the door lock of the room, and someone walked in quickly from the outside, perhaps seeing the mess on his bed, he paused, and found out that he was lying on another bed. His.

Ao Ling stuck her eyes on the quilt, rubbed her eyes twice, wiped away the tears from her eyes, then closed her eyes, and started to pretend to be asleep.
