Chapter 277: Chapter 234: Hasty Response, Netizens’ Doubts (2)

It’s the same whether to the left or right.

This sensation is somewhat similar to a balance scooter, but it’s much more slippery and sensitive.

Actually, the principle of controlling a surfboard isn’t hard; the difficult part is how surfers should grasp the right force and timing when shifting their weight, and gradually turn it into a habitual instinct to perform higher, faster, and more complex tricks.

However, "developing habits" isn’t easy for ordinary people.

Typically, when a behavior is repeated enough times, the brain gradually adapts, making the reaction automatic, and thus forming a habit.

Scientific estimates suggest that developing a habit takes 21 days to 8 months or even longer, but different behaviors require different levels of effort. For instance, forming the habit of drinking a glass of water for breakfast is often easier to accomplish than developing the habit of doing 50 sit-ups daily. But to form a habit that’s almost a natural instinct takes at least more than twenty days, no matter how simple the behavior is.

The principle lies in forming a stable neural pathway in the brain, relying on basal ganglia to save energy in performing the behavior.

And Wang Ye’s organ movement speed is almost dozens of times that of ordinary people, so the time cost to form a stable neural pathway is naturally less.

Seeing Wang Ye has already mastered the shifting of his weight skillfully.

Jeff, who was watching from the side, showed a look of shock.

He hadn’t even finished a cigarette, and Wang Ye had already mastered this skill.

Even those with good balance and coordination talents would usually spend at least ten minutes dawdling at the basics of standing posture when they first encounter the sport of surfing.

But Wang Ye mastered the basic standing posture of surfing in less than a minute.

Is this guy an AI robot?

This made Jeff doubt himself.

Had he misjudged beginners after teaching five to six-year-old kids too much?

But he quickly dismissed this doubt,

it wasn’t his judgement that was off,

but the talent of the guy in front of him was just too extraordinary.

So extraordinary it made him question his understanding.

After a brief daze, Jeff came back to his senses, coughed a few times, put out his cigarette,

and continued to teach Wang Ye more complex moves.

Wang Ye attempted the moves in the pool as Jeff demonstrated.

With a background in skills like climbing and throwing, Wang Ye learned the moves efficiently, and his limb coordination was excellent. What took others a few hours to learn, he basically learned after trying two or three times.

This is because the techniques of most skills are fundamentally similar; once one is proficient in a skill, learning the next skill becomes much easier. For example, athletes who’ve learned sprinting find it easy to learn the power of throwing when trying shot put because the power principles of sports essentially integrate various muscle groups to exert maximum force. Learning to integrate the power of core and thigh muscles makes it easy to integrate arm and shoulder muscles.

Jeff, being a former national team athlete, naturally understands this as well.

But Wang Ye’s learning efficiency is just too fast,

it’s hard to imagine how many skills he must be proficient in to achieve this level of learning efficiency.

Finally, after about half an hour of training.

A new line of text appeared on Wang Ye’s system panel.

[Surfing lv1 (1.3%)]

At the same time, his mind seemed to be infused with new surfing-related knowledge.

His control of the surfboard became noticeably smoother.

Though he had never caught a wave on a real ocean before.

He felt as if he’d already mastered some practical skills for surfing in a real ocean.

If he were to surf in a real ocean now, he might seem like a seasoned surf enthusiast who had been training for several months.

This discovery delighted Wang Ye immensely.

"The system truly provides me with experiences beyond the training ground."

During his marathon training before, he inexplicably mastered sprinting techniques, even running around nine seconds in his first 100-meter sprint test, making Wang Ye realize that the system wasn’t merely improving the skills he was currently training in.

Also, when training in climbing, he mainly trained on climbing walls. Yet, when he first reached the ice walls of Mount Everest, he intuitively mastered ice climbing, further affirming Wang Ye’s suspicion.

At this moment.

Jeff also noticed that Wang Ye’s movements appeared much more skillful all of a sudden.

But after being amazed for half an hour, Jeff had become used to it.

A genius like Wang Ye occasionally having an "epiphany" was not uncommon at all.

After acquiring the surfing skill, Wang Ye continued training with Jeff for several more hours.

By around two in the morning, Jeff was gradually becoming mentally exhausted, repeatedly yawning, seemingly tired, and began to constantly urge Wang Ye to leave.

Seeing this, Wang Ye didn’t want to continue staying. After all, Jeff had to work at nine in the morning, teaching five and six-year-old kids to surf. Teaching him until two in the morning was already quite considerate.

Moreover, Jeff charged not by lesson but by days.

This was convenient, no need for punctual classes or counting lesson hours.

Wang Ye signed up for thirty days of lessons and only paid five thousand dollars.

So for the next twenty-plus days, he had plenty of time to train without worrying about a lack of time.

After verbally saying goodbye to Jeff, Wang Ye took off his surf suit, changed into his regular clothes, left the surfing facility, and continued his marathon training.

The following day.

At six in the morning.

Wang Ye woke up after sleeping for forty minutes.

As he was ready to get up, watch some videos, and head out for training,

he suddenly came across a familiar video online.

The video showed his surfing training at the facility last night.

In the video, he was still learning the technique of shifting left and right.

His moves were a bit clumsy, looking like an amateur.

Jeff, his coach, stood beside him, smoking a cigarette and correcting his movements with his hands.

It looked just like teaching a kid.

Indeed, Jeff happened to be a children’s surfing coach for five to six-year-olds.

Due to years of teaching kids to surf, he had developed a habit of using his hands to correct his students’ movements.

What was most ridiculous, the video already had over a hundred thousand likes.

The views even exceeded a million.

There were countless comments below mocking Wang Ye’s actions.

[No way, is this Wang Ye? Is Wang Ye actually training at a children’s surfing facility?]

[How can you tell it’s a children’s surfing facility?]

[Didn’t you see all the children’s equipment around? Even the surfboards are small, clearly a place for kids under ten to learn surfing.]

[Indeed, the waves are smaller than those in other indoor surfing facilities.]

[Damn, he’s someone who’s about to challenge Life of Water, and he’s training in a place like this? He must be out of his mind!]

[The waves at Cortes Sea can be dozens of meters high! Is he having a playdate here?]

[Although I admire his completion of two world-class extreme sports challenges, his current actions seem really foolish. Does he think he can train enough in a place like this to complete Life of Water?] 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

[But honestly, Qi Refining Brother should be preparing for the Chicago Marathon now. There’s no bay in Chicago, so he can only practice his feel in such an indoor surfing facility.]
