Chapter 732: Breaking the Record

Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Breaking the Record

"Arrange for the team doctor to take him to our contracted top-tier hospital immediately for the most comprehensive urine, blood, and ultrasound tests," the captain decided promptly. "We must confirm there are no residues of banned substances and no traces of foreign implants."

Soon, accompanied by the team doctor, Peng Yunfei underwent a series of extremely rigorous examinations. A day later, the lengthy medical report came out. Just as Peng Yunfei had said, all his vitals were perfectly normal. There were no performance-enhancing drugs, no excessive hormones, and absolutely no ultrasound images showing foreign implants like silicone or hyaluronic acid. It was entirely a part of his own body—purely natural, living muscle and spongy tissue.

Holding the report and staring at the "no abnormalities detected" conclusion, the captain was left completely speechless. He realized there was truly no way to penalize him for a rule violation. While WADA rules strictly prohibited injecting foreign substances and taking stimulants, they never stated that athletes couldn’t take traditional Chinese medicine to nourish their kidneys. And they certainly never stipulated that a man’s organs weren’t allowed to grow "naturally"! It was just like an athlete being born with hands a size larger than others, giving them a larger paddling area when swimming—you couldn’t possibly say having big hands was cheating, right? That was a natural gift.

At the same time, the captain’s heart stirred as an extremely bold idea popped into his head. He wondered if this traditional Chinese medicine conditioning method was truly effective, completely compliant, and undetectable... didn’t that mean it could be used as a secret weapon for the national team?

"Xiao Peng..." The captain’s gaze grew fervent. "That Chinese medicine of yours... do you have any more? Can you let the other male members of the team use it for conditioning too?"

If all the male athletes on the team achieved a "breakthrough" in this aspect, the overall flight distance of the China ski jumping team at the upcoming Winter Olympics would definitely be elevated to a whole new level.

Seeing the captain’s excitement, Peng Yunfei shook his head and pointed to the countdown board on the wall. "Captain, I’m afraid that won’t work.

"Not only are the medicinal ingredients in the prescription precious, but most importantly, the Promoting Birth Formula isn’t on the market yet. It’s still in the testing phase, and Doctor Li won’t specially prepare any more. Furthermore, this medicine needs to be taken orally and soaked in continuously for over seven days to take effect.

"We’re flying to Europe next week for the World Championships. Even if we could get the medicine now, there’s no time left for the others to undergo regrowth. Besides, the pre-competition equipment has already been finalized. It’s impossible for the organizing committee to allow a large-scale re-scanning and remaking of ski suits at this critical juncture."

Hearing this, the captain sighed regretfully, though hope soon rekindled in his eyes. "Sigh, what a pity. If I had known there was such a Divine Medicine, the whole team should have gone to Feng City for field training before the intensive camp.

"But it doesn’t matter. We’ll let you test the waters first this time. If this ’specially made’ ski suit can truly bring a substantial lift advantage in the competition, and WADA can’t find any faults with it...

"After the World Championships, when we prepare for the Winter Olympics next year, we’ll roll it out on a large scale, heh heh..."

A few days later.

The customized one-piece ski suit, based on the national ski jumping team athlete’s latest scan data, was airlifted to the training base. In the locker room, Peng Yunfei excitedly put on the ski suit, which was made of the latest aerodynamic materials and featured a "special cut" in a crucial area. It was exceptionally form-fitting, but when his legs spread apart, the crotch area naturally formed a subtle "parachute-like" curvature. He put on his helmet, picked up his long skis, and walked out of the locker room.

Outside, the sunlight was blinding. The snow track resembled a giant silver dragon plunging down from the mountain peak. The captain and several foreign technical coaches were already standing in the observation area below the jump, holding speed guns and binoculars, gazing upward.

The coach’s instruction crackled through the walkie-talkie. "All units, attention. Wind direction is northeast, wind speed two meters per second. Cleared for takeoff."

Sitting on the takeoff ramp over a hundred meters high, Peng Yunfei took a deep breath of the freezing air as his adrenaline began to pump furiously.

The current world record was set on April 24, 2024, by the genius Japan ski jumping athlete, Kobayashi Ryoyu, on a specially built jump in Iceland—a flight distance of 291 meters. At that time, Xiao Lin’s takeoff speed reached a terrifying 107 kilometers per hour, and he soared through the air for a full eight seconds, like a true bird in flight. It was a miracle considered to be the limit of human potential, almost impossible to surpass.

But today, Peng Yunfei was going to challenge that limit.

"Go."

Peng Yunfei pushed off fiercely with his legs, his body plummeting down the steep in-run like a cannonball. The sound of the wind past his ears turned into a sharp howl! The numbers on the speedometer skyrocketed frantically. Ninety... one hundred... one hundred and five kilometers per hour.

The instant he reached the edge of the takeoff ramp...

"Jump—!"

Peng Yunfei’s legs exploded with powerful force, and his body launched into the air like an arrow released from a bowstring. Mid-air, he quickly adjusted his posture. Leaning forward, his body formed a perfect angle with the skis. His legs spread slightly into a "V" shape.

A miracle happened at this moment.

The instant he spread his legs, the enlarged crotch area of the "specially customized" ski suit instantly caught a powerful updraft. It was as if a miniature paraglider had suddenly deployed at the very core of his body. Although this extra lift was extremely subtle, it created an unbelievable butterfly effect in this high-speed extreme sport.

Through his binoculars, the captain clearly saw that at the apex of the parabola where Peng Yunfei should have started to descend, he miraculously entered a brief period of "level flight." He even showed a slight tendency to ascend.

"This hang time... is off," the foreign coach exclaimed. "He’s flying way too high."

One second... two seconds... five seconds...

Eight seconds passed! He was still flying!

Peng Yunfei felt as if he had truly become an eagle, riding the air currents amidst the fierce wind. That lift caught in his crotch not only counteracted gravity but also allowed him to maintain perfect flight balance.

Nine seconds.

BANG!

Accompanied by a loud crash, Peng Yunfei slammed heavily onto the snow track with an extremely steady Telemark landing. Carried by his massive momentum, he continued to glide forward for several dozen meters before coming to a stable halt.

Dead silence fell over the entire venue. Everyone stared fixedly at the wildly jumping red numbers on the electronic scoreboard.

The moment the numbers finally froze.

ROAR!!!

The entire training base erupted in earth-shattering cheers and screams. Overcome with excitement, the captain smashed his walkie-talkie onto the ground. "Two hundred and ninety-nine meters!!! Two hundred and ninety-nine meters!!!

"A new record! A fucking new record!"

Nine seconds of hang time! A flight distance of 299 meters!

This not only shattered the 291-meter world record set by Japan athlete Kobayashi Ryoyu but also forcibly pushed the limits of human ski jumping forward by nearly ten meters. In the world of skiing, this was an unprecedented and unrepeatable myth.
