Chapter 234 Chinese Kung Fu
For the rest of June 2006, Li Tian spent between the track and field and the swimming pool. Since he decided to participate in the World Swimming Championships held in Shanghai in early August, he had to miss a Golden League. Therefore, Li Tian really hoped to improve his results to a higher level in the Paris competition. Therefore, Li Tian trained very hard during this period and tried hard to adjust himself to an excellent state.
"Xiaotian, we can't accompany you in this Paris competition. We will also rush back to the national team in two days to report. The European Championship is about to begin. We must devote ourselves to the preparations of the national team. After practicing hard with you for so long, it should be our turn to show our skills. This time we must make a breakthrough in the European Championship. But without us cheering for you, you can't lose to those guys from the US team!" On the first morning of July, Watel and the German "four" sent Li Tian to the international train to Paris, France. The competition at the Paris station will officially start on July 4th, and Li Tian also needs to arrive at the competition site a few days in advance to adapt to the environment.
"Well, I will work hard this time. I will not let those guys from the US team continue to be 'arrogant' anymore. But you have to work hard in the national team. Don't even be able to represent Germany in the European Championships at that time, that would be too embarrassing to our "Five Tigers Generals of the Cologne Sports Academy"." Li Tian's words immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction from the "four-man".
"Tsk! That's absolutely impossible. Those guys in the national team are only worthy of being our substitutes. Maybe we can also come back to play with a few European champions this time." Watel said with a confident expression, as if the title of European champion is already in his pocket. In the past year, the four people have been working hard under the "stimulation" and driving of Li Tian, and their efforts have not been in vain. Their own strength has finally been substantially improved. They, who were originally at the leading level in the track and field in Germany, naturally set their goals on the European Championships without hesitation, and they obviously don't take their domestic competitors seriously.
"Yes, this time we have only one goal for the European Championship, that is, to win medals for the German team, and we will no longer be afraid of any opponents." Even Lobek, who has always been modest, showed aggressive confidence in his words at this time. After training with "monsters" like Li Tian for so long, it is difficult for other opponents to feel psychologically oppressed.
"Then let's work together. I hope that when you meet next time, we have achieved our respective goals." It will take at least two months before we can get together again, which always feels a little reluctant for the five people who are used to "climbing" together.
"Come on!" Five powerful arms collided violently, and the loud roar made the passengers who were getting on the bus look at each other, but the five of them didn't care at all.
"Okay, it's time for me to leave!" Li Tian finally waved to the four of them in a casual manner, and boarded the train with his suitcase. This trip to Paris was not just Li Tian. Although he was able to play English and German very skillfully, he knew very little about French. He could only use a few daily words, and language barriers would be a very troublesome problem. Considering this situation, Professor Bad, a leader of the college, specially arranged for him a college teacher who was proficient in French as his temporary translator when he was in Paris.
"Teacher Cook, you have been waiting for a long time!" As a student, Li Tian always respects the teacher very much. When he got in the car, he took the suitcase from Teacher Cook and quickly found his seat.
Europe's railway system is very developed, and dozens of international railway lines connect Europe into a whole. For Europeans, going abroad is a simple thing. There is no need to take a plane or take a steamboat. Trains are the most convenient and affordable way to travel. Even if you want to go from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, the westernmost end of Europe, to Moscow, the capital of Russia, Eastern Europe, you only need to buy a train ticket and then take a train to cross the borders of several countries to your destination, which is far less troublesome than going abroad in China.
The journey from Cologne to Paris is not far. The train only takes four hours to arrive. When Li Tianyi woke up, the train had already stopped next to the platform of the Paris Station. He walked off the train with Teacher Cook. A high-end car was waiting there outside the station. The driver was holding a sign with the Chinese name "Li Tian", but his eyes were scanning every passenger who walked out of the station.
"Hello, I'm Li Tian!" The man who came to pick up the car was a staff member arranged by the Golden League Organizing Committee. When Li Tian walked into his vision, he immediately recognized Li Tian's identity. As an exclusive staff member of the International Athletics Federation, he naturally knew Li Tian, a new star who had already emerged in the International Field World.
"Hello, I am Bridge from the event organizing committee. I'm very happy to see you here. The journey is so hard. Please get in the car and I'll take you to the hotel to rest." Bridge's English is pretty good. Li Tian could understand what he meant and sat in the back seat with Teacher Cook.
"Mr. Li, this is the hotel prepared by the organizing committee for the contestants. You can stay here forever from now until the end of the competition. Of course, if you are not satisfied with this place, you can also choose other places by yourself." Although the organizing committee will provide food, accommodation and accommodation to the athletes in each competition, since almost all the players participating in the Golden League are "big names" in various events, and there will be special people preparing for them for food, accommodation and transportation outside the competition, so they rarely stay at the hotel arranged by the organizing committee, but choose by themselves. On the contrary, Li Tian does not have so much attention in this regard.
"No need, the environment here is very good!" Although Li Tian did not figure out how many stars the San Laza Hotel was, he could guess the level was not low when looking at the elegant and comfortable surroundings. Following the hotel waiter, Li Tian and Teacher Cook moved into the booked room.
It is a rare opportunity to come to Paris, a world-famous art capital. If you just stay in your hotel room like this, it would be an "unforgivable" event. After a period of rest at noon, Li Tian found Teacher Cook, dragged him as his tour guide, and went out to enjoy the beautiful city.
Paris, as the capital of France, is the center of politics, economy and culture of France. It naturally has its infinite charm. The neat streets are lined with green trees and colorful flower beds and fountains everywhere. The whole city seems to be filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame de Paris, Louvre and other world-famous places and historical sites that are familiar to the Chinese are dotted. Li Tian feels like he is swimming in a huge park. Teacher Cook has been to Paris many times and has a deep understanding of the city. With him as a tour guide, Li Tian has visited all the places worth seeing. If he had not considered that he had to pay attention to maintaining physical fitness before the competition, he might have planned to come to "night trip to Paris". After all, "night paris" is the most beautiful time for this city.
The next morning, Li Tian had already put on his sportswear and walked out of the hotel just after dawn. Although he was in a strange environment, Li Tian would not let go of the morning exercise that he had been insisting on for a long time.
Most Parisians who are used to "nightlife" are still immersed in their dreams during this time. Except for a few cleaners and occasionally driving cars, everything seems so quiet. This morning jogging route was chosen by Li Tian yesterday. The fresh air and the beautiful scenery along the way made Li Tian feel particularly energetic when running.
"Robbery..." However, this rare tranquility was quickly broken by a rapid scream. Just as Li Tian passed the intersection of an alley, two young men with fierce looks rushed out of it in a hurry. After them, a slightly embarrassed girl was trying hard to chase it out. Li Tian could not understand the shouting in his mouth, but Li Tian immediately judged what had happened from the scene alone.
"Stop!" Li Tian shouted loudly in English, chasing the two young escapers like wind under his feet. With Li Tian's super speed of less than 10 meters and ten seconds, it was impossible to run away from him. In just a few breaths, the two young escapers were caught up by Li Tian and blocked their way.
"Get out of the Japanese pig, meddle in other people's business, or you will be killed immediately!" One of the young men shouted angrily at Li Tian with a ferocious face, and then took out a dagger with a cold light from his body. Although Li Tian's face seemed to be a little tender, the tall 183 cm still made the two young men feel a little afraid.
"Catch them..., they, they snatched my bag!" At this time, the girl behind also chased after her and pointed at the two young men panting, but Li Tian could only guess what she said.
"If you hand over the snatched things immediately, I can let you go..."
"Ah...!" Before Li Tian could finish his words, accompanied by a terrified scream from the girl, one of the men held a sharp dagger and stabbed Li Tian hard.
"Looking for death!" Faced with the prominent attack, Li Tian seemed extremely calm. He gently tweaked his left hand. The young man's right hand, which was stabbing towards him, was immediately taken out by the power of Li Tian's left hand. It was a very common technique in Chinese martial arts. Using the young man's forward momentum, Li Tian quickly approached the other person's arms, and the elbow of his right hand suddenly hit the other person's face. With a scream, the young man who was still aggressive suddenly turned black and fainted.
Li Tian has learned the "Breaking Sun Fist" for more than ten years. This martial art that has transformed from the battlefield emphasizes killing with one blow, but when he takes action, Li Tian has already shown mercy. With his current strength, if he strikes the opponent's fragile neck with all his strength, he may kill this person on the spot.
"I'm not a Japanese pig, I'm a Chinese!" Li Tian stared at the other robber without caring about the young man who was lying on the ground.
"Zhong...Chinese...Chinese Kung Fu..." Seeing that his companion was knocked down by the other party in the blink of an eye, the remaining robber looked at the Chinese youth in front of him like a demon, his hands holding the dagger kept trembling.
"Yes, it's Chinese Kung Fu!" As soon as Li Tian finished speaking, the robber immediately screamed, threw away the dagger in his hand and ran away, ignoring his companion who fainted on the ground. The girl behind Li Tian was also looking at the Chinese young man with incredible eyes.
