Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 401 - 241 Breaking NBA Records2

Shit!

A plant flashed through Ling Zhenyu’s mind. What the heck was this comparison?

He had just clearly seen that Li Ang’s entire palm had slapped the bell. This ant that just with this jump, his maximum reach was more than five centiters higher than his own.

Thank goodness he hadn’t been too hasty just now and blurted out anything about raising the bell one centiter at a ti; otherwise, it would have been social suicide.

"See, what did I tell you?"

Seeing the height adjusted to 355 centiters and Li Ang still jumping with ease, Liang Nana couldn’t help but say smugly.

Just then, a man in his forties, with a large bald patch typical of male pattern baldness, squeezed through the impenetrable wall of people.

While panting, he looked at a young man near his age and said:

"Where’s the guy you were talking about? Where is he?"

"What’s the rush? Let’s finish watching the reach test first."

The middle-aged man beside him showed none of the urgency he had on the phone but instead focused all his attention on the reach test happening right there.

"Ugh, when can’t we watch a reach test? Isn’t breaking the five-kiloter record more important?"

The balding man who spoke wasn’t an ordinary person; he was a local official in charge of sports.

He had rushed over in such a hurry precisely because he had learned about Li Ang breaking the national record in the five-kiloter event just monts before.

As soon as he finished speaking, soone in the middle of the field said:

"Are you going to try three ters sixty? If not, I’m going to raise the height."

Wait, three ters sixty?

As a forr athlete who had taken up a career in civil service after retiring, yet had always been involved in sports-related work, he was very sensitive to these figures.

A three-ter-sixty reach test was beyond anyone in the city’s basketball players; could soone from any village possess such jumping talent?

Before he could finish his amazent, he heard the person continue to say:

"Not going to try? Okay then, just adjust the bell to three ters eighty for . No, make it three ters ninety."

After Li Ang announced this figure, it wasn’t just Ling Zhenyu who was stunned; even the person responsible for adjusting the height of the bell was taken aback.

You’re not serious, right? A sudden increase of 35 centiters?

He even made a point of walking over and confirming with Li Ang,

"Do you an, from the current 355 centiters, add another 35 centiters, adjusting it to 390 centiters?"

"Yes, that’s right, it saves ti this way."

Li Ang wanted to adjust to this height because he rembered that Jeremy Evans in the NBA had set the highest vertical leap recorded in Arican basketball at 3.89 ters. He might as well break it casually; it wouldn’t seem too ostentatious since the world record for the highest vertical leap was already over four ters, yet it would still draw attention and earn him more Break Limit Points.

Ling Zhenyu, a forr professional basketball player, naturally knew this record, and it was precisely because of this that he found it utterly absurd.

Earlier when Li Ang broke the record, although Ling was surprised, his primary profession wasn’t running, so his understanding was limited. But now, hearing soone casually ntion breaking a record in his own expertise, he truly realized how outrageous that was.

He tried to persuade him:

"Why don’t you start from three ters seventy? You can gradually increase from there; it’ll be easier for your body to adapt."

He didn’t believe Li Ang was soone who talked big without following through; at least so far, everything Li Ang said he would do, he did.

"It’s okay, let’s go straight for it; the quicker we finish the jumps, the earlier everyone can go have lunch."

After Li Ang uttered those words, at least half the people present took out their phones, TikTok, activated!

Even those who had no concept of this thing knew that he must be challenging sothing truly remarkable.

"Is it still a standing jump?"

Ling Zhenyu whispered to himself.

Although he felt that Li Ang might jump higher with a running start, Li Ang’s touch height had already surpassed his, so he naturally wouldn’t go up and presumptuously instruct others.

"Clang!"

Accompanied by a crisp bell sound, Ling Zhenyu deeply realized from Li Ang’s performance what "hang ti" ant.

More terrifying than Li Ang’s three ters and ninety-centiter touch height was the fact that he still couldn’t confirm if this was truly Li Ang’s limit.

"Three ters and ninety, he really touched it."

The official in charge of sports had montarily forgotten that he ca to find that running prodigy.

"It’s a pity, the Olympics don’t have the touch height event, otherwise, this would surely be national team level."

He felt so regret, although he had thought of several sports career paths for Li Ang, none seed to fully utilize his jumping talent.

While the high jump was closely related to jumping ability, from Li Ang’s build, he seed too sturdy and not slender enough. In basketball, his jumping would definitely not be a problem, but that sport is a composite of various skills; it’s not just about having a great jump.

"Right, the running prodigy you ntioned at the beginning, it wouldn’t also be him, would it?"

"As expected of a leader, you guessed it right."

"Well, that’s obvious, I don’t believe a small village like this can produce two world-class athletes at once."

After completing the three ters and ninety centiters touch height, Li Ang declined suggestions to continue challenging further. Showing off his abilities up to a certain point was good enough; going higher would be aningless for the ti being, as he didn’t want his physical prowess to be too exposed.

To this extent, others might at most consider him a once-in-a-century genius, with almost all physical qualities at the pinnacle of humanity, but if Li Ang were to substantially break human limits in every aspect, people might start to wonder if he was still human.

After the touch height competition ended, Li Ang was nearly surrounded by people. Listening to their introductions, each one of them seed to carry no small amount of clout.

There were coaches from the city sports school, governnt officials, and even a coach from the provincial team. All these people were drawn by his initial five-thousand-ter run speed, and even now, more people were still coming over.

Although Li Ang showed a standard in both competitions that could break national records, the touch height event was still too niche and lacked official competitions, so most people were actually more focused on his running level.

"Comrade Xiao Li, could you do us the honor of joining us for lunch?"

Facing the invitation from the highest-ranking official, Li Ang himself was indifferent, but seeing the hopeful eyes of the Nie family mbers around him, he agreed to it, taking it as a way to seek welfare for the villagers.

Only Nie Zhaofeng chuckled in secrecy, thinking that the purposes of these people were dood to be unfulfilled. After all, even if Li Ang himself was willing, he couldn’t possibly join their teams, since they were from Arica.

On the way to the hotel, their group had already watched the video of Li Ang running that the photographer had recorded that morning, believing seeing is believing.

Without needing to asure the track’s accuracy, the professional track and field coaches could tell from Li Ang’s movents and the surrounding reference points that he was definitely a world-class runner.

On a governnt car, several people were excitedly discussing.

"What’s this kid’s na again? Li Ang?"

"Why do I feel like this na sounds familiar?"

"It’s normal to sound familiar. I searched today and found that this year’s Tour de France overall champion is nad Li Ang, but he’s an Arican."

The sports teacher added his two cents.

"Yes, yes, that’s the Li Ang, now I rember."

One of the coaches beca excited and promptly took out his phone, searching for related images.

After a mont, he slapped his thigh with a sowhat strange expression and said,

"Director Wang, we probably won’t be able to recruit this kid."
