Chapter 223: Chapter 200 My Record_2

"Why?" Danny didn’t understand Charles’s intentions.

Charles shook his head, not explaining, but took a deep breath, went to the timer, and then, under everyone’s gaze, heavily slapped the timer.

Whoosh! His body instantly darted out.

Passing through the first gap, he quickly changed direction, going through a second gap on the right side.

This was everyone’s first time seeing Charles going all out in agility training; it was evident from his demonstrations before that he was just casually doing them.

Left then right, Charles’s speed was so fast it had the onlookers involuntarily gasping in astonishment.

What was he doing? Was this to add psychological pressure to Wu Li before the challenge?

Everyone was puzzled by Charles’s actions, but it didn’t prevent them from appreciating the smooth and fluid movements.

Wu Li was also observing Charles’s movements closely. Charles’s ability to control his center of gravity wasn’t stronger than his own; it was clear he hadn’t reached the "Mercury-like Center of Gravity" realm. In fact, there were only a few in the entire UFC who had, but Charles could still shine in agility training because he was naturally talented.

Wu Li noticed that Charles’s start-up speed and the ability to stop instantly were both very good. He could go from zero to full-force in an instant, then stop quickly only to accelerate again a few steps later.

Such ability was undoubtedly a talent, indicating that during this process, Charles’s calf muscles and the joints of his ankles and knees could all perform far more efficiently than the average person, like a race car’s engine and brake system that had been specially modified for increased start-up and stopping power.

39.10 seconds, Charles had completed the first 50 meters!

This speed made many drop their jaws, as it was too fast for others to harbor thoughts of surpassing it—truly inhuman!

Charles started running backward, and at this time his talent couldn’t provide him with a clear advantage; it still depended mainly on controlling the center of gravity. Although he hadn’t reached the "Mercury-like Center of Gravity" realm, his ability to control his balance still surpassed most UFC fighters.

Whoosh! Charles passed the starting line and pressed the timer almost simultaneously.

Everyone’s eyes immediately sought the electronic screen: 53.10 seconds!

A new record!

Charles’s previously set record was 53.13 seconds, and now, he had personally made it 0.03 seconds faster!

No wonder he said he wanted to try first—turns out, there had been an improvement in his agility training ability, and he wanted to see if he could break his own record. And now, he had succeeded.

"Holy shit, is this guy really beating his own record just like that?"

"He’s doing it on purpose, he wants to put psychological pressure on Wu Li."

"So which record are we going by now?"

...

The streaming room exploded in chatter, and some netizens who still had faith in Wu Li started to waver, as Charles’s displayed strength was truly overwhelming.

"OH my God!!!"

In these few days, Danny had already lost count of how many times he had exclaimed this, but this time it was the loudest, his face full of disbelief.

"Charles, you broke your own record! Three years, three years without anyone breaking this record and now it’s been broken by you!"

Charles was full of pride; he had actually broken the record several times in private practice but hadn’t announced it publicly because he was not a hundred percent sure of breaking records. He wanted to wait until he was more confident before setting a new record.

Previously, when Charles told Danny he wanted to try, he didn’t know whether he could break the record or not, which is why he just said he’d give it a try. If he couldn’t, at least it would put some psychological pressure on Wu Li. But now, having broken the record, that pressure would undoubtedly be even more significant.

Charles walked up to Wu Li and smirked contemptuously, then pointed to the electronic screen on his right, "See that? That’s the fastest record. If you’re going to break one, break this one!"

"That’s not fair!"

Before Wu Li could speak, Chen Gang couldn’t help standing up. He didn’t look at Charles but instead said to Danny, "Mr. Danny, the previous wager was only if Wu Li could break the record of 53.13 seconds, it would be counted as a victory. You can’t go back on your word at the last minute!"

"Err..." Danny hesitated for a moment, "Indeed, even though Charles has set a new record, we will still go by..."

"No need."

Before Danny could finish, Wu Li interrupted him.

"Let’s go with that record, I’m breaking it!"

Madness!

That was the thought in everyone’s minds. If few people were optimistic about Wu Li breaking the original record, what more now with this new one?

Don’t be fooled by the mere increase of 0.03 seconds. A surpassing of the limits, even by just 0.01 second, sometimes seems like a chasm.

"Wu Li..." Chen Gang began with furrowed brows, wanting to persuade him.

But Wu Li patted his shoulder and asked with a smile, "When have I ever lost?"

Having said that, he walked to the starting line, slowly exhaled, slapped the timer, and his body instantly shot out!

Left, right, left, right...

In dodge training, you have to continuously start, stop, and then start again. It’s a very short rhythm, and this rhythm changes periodically because the crossbars between the poles force you to change your rhythm.

Just when you’ve adapted to one rhythm, a sudden duck, bend, or jump can disrupt the established pattern, making you adapt all over again.

It’s because of this that many people, even with strong control over their center of gravity, still can’t perform well in dodge training. They may be fast within a certain distance, but when the rhythm changes, their inability to adapt quickly results in a decrease in speed.

Charles used his exceptional talent to overcome this, which is why he was able to continuously achieve better results, but now Wu Li has overcome it with a higher "Realm."

Mercury-like Center of Gravity, the body’s center of gravity is like mercury in a large iron ball; no matter how the ball rolls and changes, the mercury’s center of gravity always stays at one point without any deviation. Wu Li’s previous dodge training with water, striving to keep not even a drop of water from spilling out of the bucket, was aimed at finding this Mercury-like Center of Gravity feeling. Despite the water’s violent shaking, it wouldn’t spill outside the "circle" Wu Li had drawn.

Now, darting between the poles, he moved like a large rolling iron ball, his center of gravity like mercury, shifting easily yet always maintaining its position to the exact point.

Wu Li’s performance made Charles’s expression turn solemn.

39.15 seconds, Wu Li completed the first 50 meters, 0.05 seconds slower than Charles’s previous time.

Charles let out a slight sigh of relief, but Wu Li’s speed in moving backwards was far beyond his expectations.

Wu Li leaned back almost at a 45-degree angle to the ground; his feet rapidly pushed off, moving backward at an astonishing speed.

Swoosh! Wu Li moved back past the starting line.

Smack! Wu Li hit the timer.

53.07 seconds!

The entire venue fell silent.

Just a minute ago, the record for the dodge training had been updated by Charles, and now, in less than a minute’s time, the record was broken again!

Wu Li turned to look at Charles, who wore a look of disbelief.

Danny’s mouth hung open; he was at a loss for words, and the expressions on the other competitors’ faces were not much different from his.

"What did you just say?" Wu Li walked up to Charles and asked softly, "Is this the fastest record?"

Charles’s expression was fierce, his teeth tightly clenched.

Wu Li pointed to the electronic screen on his right:

"Not anymore."
