"Coach Lu, do you think he can break through the standard of a second-level athlete this time?" Lu Mei said weakly.

Lu Rong took the record board and looked at Li Ming's freestyle data in the morning.

She pondered and said, "Freestyle swimming is the fastest. Mr. Li used freestyle swimming to break through the second level.

According to common sense, it might be a bit difficult for him to pass the second level with breaststroke. But Mr. Li... do you think it is possible to use common sense to infer it?"

Hearing this, Lu Mei opened her mouth, but found that she really couldn't find any words to refute Coach Lu Rong's words.

Seeing this, Lu Rong smiled and said, "I think he can pass the level of a second-level athlete."

At this time.

Swish!
Li Ming jumped into the swimming pool again.

He moved his arms and kicked the water rhythmically.

Under the nervous gazes of the two women, Li Ming instantly touched the wall and the numbers on the electronic timer froze.

24.6 seconds!
This is far beyond the standard of a second-level athlete and is only 0.1 second away from breaking through the threshold of a first-level athlete.

The speed of breaststroke is even faster than that of freestyle!
This is simply a fantasy.

Lu Rong's eyes widened, and the expression on her face that was originally clenched changed from initial anticipation to incredible shock in an instant.

Less than a minute ago, she had tried her best to overestimate Li Ming and thought that Li Ming could reach the second level.

just now!

Just over twenty seconds later, her words were slapped in the face by Li Ming's actions.

As a professional athlete and coach, she has studied and worked in this industry for more than ten years.

There has never been such a big misjudgment.

But today, in just less than twelve hours, her understanding of Li Ming was refreshed again and again.

Her professional knowledge and experience were denied by Li Ming time and time again.

This feeling is like the collapse of faith, and it is like discovering the true God in the collapsed faith.

Lu Rong looked at the frozen numbers, her lips slightly opened, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

She seemed to have her throat blocked by this suddenness, and could only let out a soft exclamation: "Okay!"

Lu Mei, who was standing by, was so shocked that she almost dropped the stopwatch in her hand.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Her mouth opened wide, and after a long while she stammered, "This... This is simply hell, really hell."

Li Ming crawled to the ground and walked over while wiping the water with a towel.

At this point, the proficiency panel appears again.

[Complete breaststroke for the first time, experience +6000]

[Break personal record again, experience +6000]

【Swimming (Entry/37000)】

Li Ming looked at the panel and fell into deep thought. His overall condition now should be at the middle level of a second-level athlete.

The level of a second-level athlete is just the entry level, and if you want to master it, it is probably equivalent to the level of a first-level athlete.

If you are at the master level, you are an elite athlete.

Isn't the Grandmaster level the same as the international athlete level?

The pinnacle legend is definitely the absolute king among the international athletes, who can leave a legendary existence.

At the peak legendary realm, even with the help of panel proficiency, it would probably take a year or two to gain 10 million experience points.

Li Ming closed the proficiency panel and directly opened the reward settlement panel.

[Level: Level 14 (2541)]

【Reward: Already paid】

【Balance: 4.5771】

The level has been upgraded to level 14?
Li Ming was pleasantly surprised and checked his improvement record.

All the experience gained in panel proficiency is actually taken into account.

In the details, 37000 experience points, when all added together, just promoted to level 14, and there were more experience points.

In other words, he had advanced 3 levels in a row in just one day!
This speed was faster than ever before. The activation of the proficiency panel was like divine help to him.

Li Ming came to Lu Rong and Lu Mei with a smile. He was very happy.

"Mr. Li, what else do you want to...learn?" When Lu Rong talked about learning characters, she lacked confidence. She felt that saying this word to Li Ming would be a great insult.

"Butterfly stroke and backstroke!" Li Ming said without hesitation.

This kind of experience is so easy to gain that his purpose of practicing swimming is no longer just to get in touch with Dr. Chen Ling.

More importantly, you can gain experience and improve your reward settlement level.

Money is the core and the top priority.

……

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Ming finished his training.

He did not practice all night as planned.

I had underestimated the role of the proficiency panel before, so I wanted to study hard all night.

Now, there is absolutely no need for that.

When Lu Rong and Lu Mei heard the news, there was a hint of disappointment in their eyes, but they still proposed to refund their tuition fees.

Li Ming is not a stingy person. Besides, the two women are indeed very professional, serious and responsible.

Especially Lu Rong, who was willing to let him wear her clothes.

So even if they didn't practice all night, they still couldn't get a refund of the 6 yuan tuition fee.

This action made the two girls happy for a long time, and they insisted on dragging him to have barbecue.

Li Ming did not go and rejected the two women.

Kyoto is Chen Feiyu's territory, and his family's network of connections here is definitely deeper than you can imagine.

Even if you are not afraid of him, there is no need to go out and attract attention and cause trouble.

The most important thing is to prepare quietly for two days and then go to Dr. Chen Ling to discuss the brain-computer interface.

The next day.

Li Ming arrived at the swimming pool on time, and Lu Rong and Lu Mei were already waiting there.

In the morning, he did not learn any new swimming styles, but instead practiced freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly stroke and backstroke that he had learned yesterday.

From 2pm to 8pm, a total of six hours.

Li Ming is always practicing!
practise!!
Practice more!!!
Of course, his swimming experience is also increasing rapidly.

At the end of the day, I gained a total of 5 experience points.

【Swimming (Entry/87000)】

Now, Li Ming only needs 13,000 experience points to advance to the professional level, which is the level of a first-class athlete.

night.

Li Ming returned to the hotel and after replying to messages as usual, he saw five or six messages sent by Chen An.

They were all kind reminders, explaining Dr. Chen Ling's personality, catchphrases, favorite dishes, favorite colors...

What he sent was extremely detailed and he was afraid that he might not be able to reach an agreement, so he tried his best to get to know Dr. Chen Ling.

The last sentence was to let him pay the money and fulfill his promise. Li Ming did not stupidly pay the money, but just replied to him, "I haven't verified it yet. I don't know whether Dr. Chen Ling will go to the swimming pool. I will give it to him after verification."

Immediately, Chen An sent over another bunch of documents and information.

All of them are information about Dr. Chen Ling, covering almost all of her academic, research, and private life.

Li Ming did not reply to him.

Li Ming doesn't hate people like Chen An, but he can't like them either.

He is profit-driven, opportunistic, and scheming, even more cunning than Chen Feiyu.

Li Ming's attitude towards this kind of person is to use him when necessary, and he will never get entangled or involved with him in other matters.

After reading the message, Li Ming was too lazy to reply to Chen An.
……

Qinghua, graduate student dormitory.

Chen An sat in front of the computer and waited for a long time. He found that Li Ming had not replied to his message yet, and he frowned.

He whispered, "That idiot Chen Feiyu is right, Li Ming really likes to pretend.

Humph, in that case, I will exaggerate the situation and make it even more intense, so that we can fight to the death."

Say it.

Chen An didn't hesitate and called Chen Feiyu again.

He said anxiously, "Feiyu, Li Ming asked me about my teacher's schedule. He probably wanted to use my teacher's private life as a starting point to talk about brain-computer interface."

……

The next day.

Li Ming did not get up early as usual, he slept until 11 o'clock.

After washing up and having lunch in the hotel restaurant, he slowly went to the swimming pool.

As for how to contact Dr. Chen Ling, Li Ming has already thought about it and it would be most appropriate to let coach Lu Rong act as a middleman.

……

Saturday.

More and more people started to gather in the swimming pool.

After noon, it was peak time and the entertainment area was already crowded.

Chen Ling took her equipment and came to the professional area. She looked around and was slightly stunned when she saw the empty swimming pool and swimming hall.

The swimming pool was abnormally quiet today. There was no one there?!

Usually when she came here at this time on weekends, she would have to wait in line if she wanted to find a swimming lane.

The practice area was already bustling with people, the coaches' voices and the students' voices echoing one after another...

Nowadays!

Not only was there no one in the professional area, there was no one in the practice area either, no coaches, and no students.

Weird anomaly!
Chen Ling was surprised and asked, "Isn't today Saturday?"

She took out her cell phone to confirm that it was indeed Saturday, and it was 1 o'clock in the afternoon, which should be the time when there were the most people.

"No, it's so wrong."

Confused, Chen Ling called her coach, who is also her good friend.

I called twice in a row but no one answered.

She was confused, but had a premonition that something big must have happened.

[Where are you? Why is there no one here today, on the weekend? ]

Chen Ling tried to send a message to.

Ding Dong!

[We are in the lounge, watching a surveillance replay]

us?

Chen Ling was puzzled. Could it be that all the coaches and students went to the lounge to watch the surveillance replay?
What kind of surveillance playback can be watched by everyone!

Her curiosity was instantly aroused, and she quickly walked towards the lounge, picking up her equipment.

five minutes later.

Chen Ling was stunned again because the entire lounge was surrounded by people and no one could get in or out.

The lounge is very spacious, and in the past, dozens of people could rest in it together without it being too crowded.

She stood on tiptoe and found that all the seats inside were occupied by coaches and students, and a considerable number of people were standing.

Outside the door, two or three people were crowded at the door, looking forward to it.

There were no less than two hundred coaches and students inside and outside the hall, and students from other areas also gathered there.

Chen Ling was even more curious and couldn't wait to know what everyone was watching.

"Could it be that a swimming champion secretly came to the venue to swim yesterday and broke the record?"

Dr. Chen Ling walked over quickly, thinking in her heart.

Apart from the world champion, no one else could cause such a sensation in a swimming pool.

"Could it be that my idol is here?" Chen Ling's heart also began to get a little excited.

As a Qinghua doctor, she naturally had the ability and resources to meet her world champion, but she had her own work and so did he, so it was impossible for her to disturb him for no reason.

Chen Ling walked quickly to the door of the lounge.

I saw a video playing on the big screen on the wall. This big screen, placed in the lounge, was playing various swimming techniques and tips.

The screen is very large, taking up almost a quarter of the wall, and is very high definition.

So she didn't have to squeeze in, and could still see it vaguely.

There really is someone freestyle swimming.

Chen Ling stood on tiptoe and took a closer look, and found that the person standing next to the swimming pool was Coach Lu Rong. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they had a good relationship.

Is Lu Mei at the front desk also here?

Looking at the two women in the video, they were both very excited and thrilled, as if they had seen a world champion.

Chen Ling also became slightly excited and looked at the people in the swimming pool.

What caught her eye was a strong, perfectly muscular man swimming freestyle.

Powerful explosive power!

Standard smooth movements!
He was like a water beast, running in the swimming pool!
And unparalleled speed!

Chen Ling also became excited, but after reading halfway, she became a little confused.

"This speed can't reach the speed of a world champion? It's close to the level of a first-class athlete, but not quite there. Also, why does this back figure look a little familiar?" Chen Ling thought to herself.

At this time, the person on the big screen also reached the finish line and climbed out of the swimming pool.

Dr. Chen Ling opened her eyes wide and tried to see his face but was blocked by the person inside.

Just as she frowned, she felt there was someone next to her, and she looked over in confusion.

He has a young and handsome face, a gentle smile, short hair, a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of pink shorts. His clothes are a little tight, like they are one size smaller.

Seeing this slightly familiar young man, Dr. Chen Ling was surprised and asked: "Uh... Li Ming! Why are you here?"
