Run, Best Actor!

It took Liu Taile three years to master the "Secret Transmission of Yoga".

However, he then encountered a bottleneck, and no matter how diligently he practiced every day, he still could not make any progress.

Fortunately, the advanced level of the Yoga Tantra is sufficient.

Even back in 08, when the technique was still at the proficiency level, it had already demonstrated immense power.

This is mainly reflected in physical condition.

Or rather, the skill that best reflects an individual's physical condition: running.

To state an objective fact, the physical condition of people of Asian descent is indeed significantly worse than that of people of African descent.

Therefore, in track and field events, those that rely purely on physical strength and don't require much skill are usually dominated by Black athletes.

Players like Liu Xiang and Su Bingtian, who can even defeat Black players on the field, are extremely rare among Asians.

Although he grew up in a well-off family, Liu Taile's innate physical condition was only slightly above average.

Although he has good explosive power, before he got the system, his fastest 100-meter time was more than 13 seconds.

However, after obtaining the system and learning the "Yoga Tantra", his performance underwent a dramatic change.

In the second half of 2006, at their high school sports meet, Liu Taile won the championship with a time of 10.92 seconds in the 100-meter dash.

Without a doubt, he broke their school's men's 100-meter record.

And it even exceeded the national first-class athlete standard of 10.93 seconds!

Although it only exceeded 0.01 seconds, it was still amazing enough.

For an amateur without any professional training to achieve such remarkable results is truly a testament to talent!

Not only was the school shocked, but the provincial sports bureau was also taken aback and sent people to Liu Taile's school to verify the situation.

At first, I thought it was because the school's timer was inaccurate.

After verification, it was found that the timer at their school was indeed inaccurate.

It was 0.02 seconds slower!

The actual time should be 10.90 seconds!

Goodness, they're good enough to be on the national track and field team!

And this kid is only 16 years old. If he trains properly for two years...

They'll most likely be able to try their luck at the Olympics!

The Heilongjiang Provincial Sports Bureau hasn't encountered such outstanding sprinting prospects in a long time.

So they made an exception and recruited him into the provincial team.

From now on, Liu Taile will also be able to pursue a career as a sports specialist.

To be fair, Liu Taile's academic performance was indeed not very good.

Even if you study with all your might, you'll only get into a second-tier university.

In the original timeline, he ended up attending an ordinary second-tier university and studying a major he didn't like.

Of course, given his family background, it doesn't matter what school he attends or what major he studies.

In the end, they all have to go home and inherit the family business anyway.

However, recalling the envy hidden in his eyes when his parents attended a friend's child's graduation banquet after graduating from high school in the original timeline and learned that the child had been admitted to a prestigious university, he remembered the envy in their eyes.

Liu Taile also felt somewhat sorry for his parents.

He still wanted to be his parents' pride and make them proud of him.

Even if you don't achieve any great results as a sports specialist, it would be good to get into a top-tier university.

He underestimated his own "golden touch".

In the two years following the airing of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Yang Mi had four works released online.

First up is the suspense film "The Door," produced by Rong Xinda and directed by Li Shaohong, starring Chen Kun and Yang Mi.

Although she's called the female lead, her actual screen time is mostly limited.

Because that movie was mainly made to promote the male lead, Chen Kun.

After Zhou Xun left Rongxinda, Chen Kun became not only Rongxinda's top star, but also its pillar.

Both Lis need to keep him close and don't want him to leave the company.

In the movie, Yang Mi plays Wen Xin, the female lead, who is even a "ghost" that the male lead killed and imagined.

Unfortunately, the domestic environment simply doesn't provide the conditions for suspense films to thrive.

Director Li Shaohong is also not good at making commercial films, so this movie unsurprisingly flopped.

Not only did it fail to gross 10 million at the box office, but it also only received a 5.1 rating on Douban, making it a complete flop.

That's why I got a white treasure chest, which makes perfect sense.

The key is her last three works.

"Wang Zhaojun" is Yang Mi's second collaboration with director Chen Jialin since her first drama, "Tang Minghuang".

This is also Yang Mi's first leading role in a TV series.

In 2005, the production team held a nationwide open casting call for the female lead, Wang Zhaojun, and Yang Mi, who had just entered the Beijing Film Academy as a freshman at the time, was ultimately chosen.

At only 19 years old, in the prime of her youth, Yang Mi perfectly met the director's requirements of "authentic mountain delicacies rather than greenhouse flowers" and "refined temperament." In the competition for the lead role, Yang Mi beat out many established actors to play a completely new and unconventional ancient Wang Zhaojun.

At that time, Yang Mi still had a youthful appearance, but it did not affect her beauty. She exuded a pure and natural beauty without any embellishment.

It must be said that director Chen Jialin and art director Li Jianqun truly brought out the charm of Wang Zhaojun, one of the "Four Beauties," on screen.

Her eyes were like autumn water, her skin like solidified cream, her figure graceful and slender, her waist so delicate it could be encircled with one hand; her beauty was breathtaking.

Although the series didn't become very popular due to some issues with the plot.

But Yang Mi's portrayal of Wang Zhaojun did leave a deep impression on the audience.

A purple treasure chest proves that she really worked hard.

Cheng Xiaonuo, a minor supporting character in "Live Happily," is a pitiful girl suffering from a serious illness. Her tragic death in the end brought tears to the eyes of many viewers.

It just means it has relatively little screen time, so there's only one blue treasure chest.

"The Imperial Study" is another serious drama produced by CCTV, following "Wang Zhaojun".

However, Yang Mi's character, Fucha Dun'er, is only a supporting female character; the female lead is someone else.

However, the female lead is not important; in the end, it was Yang Mi's character who left the best impression on the audience.

Meanwhile, Yuan Hong, who played the male lead Hongli, also gave a poor performance.

On the contrary, Ai Dong, who played the Fifth Prince Hongzhou, gave a better performance.

In the drama, he is deeply infatuated with Fucha Dun'er, which makes him a pitiful character.

Another interesting thing is that seventeen years later, Yang Mi and Ai Dong collaborated again in the hit drama "All Things Grow".

At that time, the female lead Yang Mi was still young and beautiful, while Ai Dong was already playing roles from the previous generation.

Some male actors have a really short shelf life.

Let's get back to the rewards.

Wenxin's white treasure chest contained a "slightly eerie aura," which is suitable for horror movies but is basically useless.

Wang Zhaojun opened her purple treasure chest and received two prizes.

First, the skill of playing the pipa is already at an advanced level.

Secondly, 10000 experience points for skill running.

The skill of playing the pipa is easy to understand, after all, Wang Zhaojun was not only one of the Four Beauties in history, but also a famous musician.

The running experience points were a bit confusing to Liu Taile.

Thinking back, Wang Zhaojun's journey from the country to the borderlands was indeed quite remarkable.

After more than a year of training, Liu Taile's running skill level had reached the advanced level.

With these 10,000 experience points added, the experience points for the advanced stage have increased significantly.

This feedback affected his physical condition and indirectly influenced the practice of Yoga Tantra.

This allowed him to directly advance from the proficient level of Yoga Tantra to the master level.

Yes, the "Yoga Tantra" can improve physical fitness and, consequently, running skills.

Improving running skills passively enhances physical fitness and also raises the level of the "Yoga Tantra" technique.

Both sides can promote positive progress.

Cheng Xiaonuo's blue treasure chest yielded another "sickly temperament," which merged with the previous "gentle temperament" to form "sickly beauty temperament."

If he plays a patient in the future, no one will be able to tell.

And she'll look beautiful even when she's sick~~

I don't know what use it would be to give it to a guy...

As for Fucha Dun'er's purple treasure chest, it also yielded two prizes.

First, there's a knowledge book called "Qing Dynasty Court Etiquette," which, combined with the previous "Tang Dynasty Court Etiquette," has been upgraded into an enhanced version called "Ancient Chinese Court Etiquette."

This allowed Liu Taile to directly master the court etiquette of all dynasties in ancient China.

After he retires, he can serve as an etiquette consultant for any period drama production team in China.

The other prize is the skill "Judging the Situation".

Yes, "Aunt Fucha" is indeed a master in this field.

With this skill, Liu Taile will have a broad vision and strategic thinking in the future!

Then in the spring of 08, Liu Taile's level in "Yoga Tantra" was upgraded to the proficient level, and his running skills were also upgraded to the master level!

They easily qualified for the Olympics.

Then Liu Taile discovered another function of the system—reputation points are converted into experience points!

The reputation value appears on the system panel after he qualifies for the Olympics.

Through the system's introduction, he learned that the intense emotions 10 people have for the host in reality can be converted into 1 point of reputation in the system.

At that time, he directly had more than 20 reputation points.

Obviously, because he qualified for the Olympics, he was reported on by various media outlets.

Thus, Liu Taile became famous.

Because of Liu Xiang's stunning debut at the Athens Olympics four years ago.

This has suddenly drawn a lot of attention to the surname "Liu".

His surname is Liu, and he's involved in track and field. Who knows if he might become another Liu Xiang?

So suddenly more than 200 million people started paying attention to him.

Whether they support him or strongly disapprove of him, it all reflects intense emotions towards him.

Then Liu Taile learned that reputation points could be converted into experience points for skills and techniques.

However, for intermediate skills and below, and mastery techniques and below, reputation points can be converted into experience points at a 1:1 ratio.

Advanced skills/mastered techniques require 5 reputation points to be converted into 1 experience point.

However, for master-level skills/master-level techniques, it takes 10 reputation points to convert into 1 experience point.

Liu Taile suddenly realized how valuable the experience points from the treasure chest were.

Because that's a universal experience value, which can be added to any skill level.

I didn't know that before, which is really a waste.

To learn other skills later, you should grind them to a higher level yourself, and then use the skill experience points rewarded by treasure chests to improve them.

Master-level skills require a total of 100 million experience points to upgrade to Grandmaster-level, which is indeed a long and arduous journey.

20 reputation points can only be exchanged for 2 master-level experience points, which seems a bit uneconomical.

Then he discovered another use for reputation points – he could repeatedly draw treasure chests!

It involves specifying a particular character of the bound player and spending a certain amount of reputation points to redraw the lottery!

Black treasure chest / 5 reputation points;

White treasure chest / 1 reputation points;

Green treasure chest / 5 reputation points;

Blue treasure chest / 1 reputation points;

Purple Treasure Chest / 5 Reputation Points;

Golden Treasure Chest / 10 Reputation Points...

What else is there to think about?

It must be the designated character "Guo Xiang," so let's open two more golden treasure chests!

Then Liu Taile received 5 running skill experience points and the martial arts technique "Whirlwind Sweeping Leaf Leg" (gold)!

Yes, Guo Xiang was quite a runner, having traveled all over the country in her lifetime, so it's reasonable that she gained running experience points.

Liu Taile was surprised that the "Whirlwind Sweeping Leaf Leg" was actually rated as a martial art by the system.

I only found out after looking into it more closely.

This is not the original version of Huang Yaoshi's newly created skill; that version was purely a martial arts technique and was rated as blue level.

The treasure chest contained a technique even more advanced than the purple-level one that Huang Yaoshi passed on to Lu Chengfeng, which allowed him to heal chronic leg injuries.

It was Huang Yaoshi who obtained the complete "Nine Yin Manual" from Guo Jing and Huang Rong, absorbed the essence of the Nine Yin martial arts, and then reorganized the martial arts of the Eastern Heretic lineage, creating a leg technique that can be used from the outside in.

This leg technique incorporates elements from "Snake's Leap," "Nine Spiral Shadows," and "Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening." Once mastered, it not only enhances leg strength but also strengthens tendons and bones.

Of course, because the martial arts level is very high, the difficulty of cultivation is also top-notch.

Among the descendants of the Eastern Heretic, only Guo Xiang succeeded in cultivating due to her outstanding talent, but she only managed to cultivate to a certain extent and never reached the pinnacle in her lifetime.

Later, Guo Xiang integrated this technique into the martial arts of the Emei School, creating the "Nine Forms of Intercepting Hands".

It has to be said that Liu Taile had a pretty good run of luck this time; this technique suits him very well.

Since both involve leg training, the "Running" skill can provide a certain boost to the training of the "Whirlwind Sweep Leaf Kick".

Moreover, after practicing Yoga Tantra, his tendons, bones, and muscles became much more flexible than ordinary people, which greatly reduced the difficulty of his practice.

It was after he mastered this skill to the proficient level that the feedback to "Running" increased the skill's master level experience value to over 30!

So, in that year's Olympic Games men's 100-meter final, he emerged as a dark horse and won a silver medal.

Now, four years later, thanks to his own efforts and the mutual promotion of several skills and techniques, his master-level "Running" skill experience points have exceeded 80!

During regular training, he can run 9.70 seconds!

Although he didn't manage to break through to 9.69 seconds, it's impossible for Bolt to have such phenomenal results every time.

The actual conditions on the field also have a significant impact on the results.

Ultimately, we'll have to compete on the field to find out the result.

Unfortunately……

Thinking of this, Liu Taile sighed inwardly.

He never expected that he would also encounter a treacherous force, even though he hadn't won an Olympic gold medal yet.

It seems that there are indeed people in the world who don't want to see people of Asian descent triumphing around the world.

Especially in sports where physical fitness is the sole criterion.

Just as he was lying in bed lost in thought, Yang Mi pushed open the door and came back.

His expression, however, became even more sour than before.

"Sister Mimi..."

Seeing this, Liu Taile felt worried and couldn't help but sit up to look at her.

"Shh, Xiao Le, listen to me first!"

Yang Mi walked quickly closer and said to Liu Taile with a serious expression, "We've known each other for so long, I'll be frank with you."

I just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm single again. Would you like to be my boyfriend?

"ah?!"
