Chapter 284 - 238: Who Gave You the Courage to Challenge Me?
Besides those well-known bloggers voicing their doubts.
There are also many athletes from various fields with a strong aggressive stance towards Wang Ye.
Most of them do not trust the rumors, believing all of Wang Ye’s achievements are fabricated.
Through various channels, they found Wang Ye’s social media account and sent him private messages challenging him.
Some even used illegal means to find Wang Ye’s current location, intending to confront him face-to-face.
Wang Ye opened his social media account and quickly glanced at the messages.
He discovered that besides athletes from the running field wanting to challenge him,
there were also athletes from other domains eager to challenge him.
For example, climbers, fighters, weightlifters, and so on...
It was quite a variety.
All of them were making harsh remarks, vowing to tear off Wang Ye’s false mask and defeat him fiercely.
Although there might be a few who are all talk,
the majority seemed to be serious.
The current situation ultimately arose because Wang Ye’s all-around performance was too exceptional,
not only excelling in marathon running but also challenging the limits of other disciplines.
He seemingly intruded on too many fields and offended too many people.
Wang Ye looked at these messages, thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Some people want to challenge me. What do you think?"
"Challenge?" Ah Gui and the others took the phone and scrolled through the messages.
After a while, Ah Gui took out his phone and dialed Li Weimin’s number.
After communicating with Li Weimin for a while, Ah Gui handed the phone to Wang Ye.
"Manager Li wants to have a word with you."
"Okay." Wang Ye took the phone, placed it by his ear, and said, "Manager Li, I’m here."
"Wang Ye, listen to me," Li Weimin’s voice on the phone was serious: "You need to focus entirely on your training during this period. Don’t let these voices affect you, and do not accept their challenges. Even if you triumph in verbal confrontations, it won’t benefit you, and we don’t know what tricks they might pull in a challenge. They are local bullies, and it’s wise to avoid confrontation."
"Don’t worry, I understand. I won’t take on their challenges." Wang Ye shook his head.
Currently, he is a world-class athlete with significant influence.
Those issuing challenges are at most only at the National Elite Level and not well-known figures.
If Wang Ye were to step out and compete with them just because of verbal challenges, it would diminish his stature.
However, if they disrupt his training, Wang Ye naturally wouldn’t tolerate it. He has already honed multiple skills to the pinnacle of human potential, his physique is ten times that of a normal person, and with Super Sensing activated, even dodging bullets wouldn’t be a problem. To defeat a few low-level athletes would be a breeze for him.
Furthermore, his personality isn’t one of detachment and indifference.
His success today stems from his unyielding spirit.
So, encountering provocations in person would likely result in him accepting the challenge.
Moreover, Li Weimin has reasons to ask him to keep a low profile. As the General Manager of the Anta Branch, Li Weimin must consider Anta’s interests. Anta, as a profit-driven enterprise, must look at the big picture. Currently, Wang Ye is at the core of Anta’s strategy, and his every move can directly affect the sales of Anta’s products. If it weren’t for Wang Ye’s firm refusal, Anta would have sent more bodyguards to protect him closely.
Unable to ensure Wang Ye’s safety, they can only advise him to act low-profile and avoid danger. Especially now, during Wang Ye’s pre-race training period, which is crucial, letting him surf every day is already lenient; now, they can’t allow him to accept challenges from mysterious people.
After hanging up, Wang Ye returned the phone to Ah Gui.
Before leaving, Ah Gui and the others reminded him again, then left the room.
Wang Ye got up, freshened up a bit, and planned to go out for running training.
Suddenly,
he seemed to recall something and opened a box beside the table,
taking out a pitch-black full-body suit from inside.
This suit seemed to be filled with hard steel but didn’t hinder joint movement.
Wang Ye lifted it with one arm, struggling a bit, as if lifting a barbell, indicating how heavy the suit was.
This pitch-black suit was the new weighted suit Ah Gui brought, rumored to weigh over a thousand pounds.
Since realizing that a several hundred-pound weighted suit barely provided any training effect yesterday,
he specifically asked Ah Gui to purchase and custom-make a heavier one,
with the material made from a highly dense wreck, three times denser than iron, so the suit doesn’t appear bulky, but it weighs as much as ten grown men.
Moreover, its hardness is high enough to stop bullets, and this specially made weighted suit is covered with heavy wreck from the neck to the knees, making it virtually bulletproof if one can bear wearing it.
Wang Ye had some difficulty putting on this weighted suit,
fastened several layers of buttons, and moved around a bit.
This thousand-pound weighted suit noticeably slowed down his movements.
But it only made him slightly sluggish.
His actions still appeared much more agile than ordinary people.
However, jumping and landing caused quite a noise.
Wang Ye even felt that if he jumped a few more times, he might break the floor beneath him.
