“A new upgrade! This time I am going to move up to a top-level coach!” Overflowing with happiness, Dai Li began to hum a tune.

Dai Li would now be upgraded from a second-rate coach to a top-level coach. He would now be in the preliminary phase of the top-level coach.

Dai Li had been waiting a very long time for this upgrade. Nearly two years had passed since his last upgrade to the senior phase of the second-rate coach, which was around the time he had just finished helping Feixiang Lin. During this period, Dai Li had accumulated empirical value quietly through instructing athletes’ training every day. The growth of his empirical value had been very slow, to the point where sometimes he even forgot the the System existed.

The empirical value gained through training young athletes was extremely limited. If Dai Li had not come to the national team when he did, he would have needed more time before he would have been eligible for an upgrade.

Seeing the title of “Top-level Coach” in the System, Dai Li began to reflect on where he had started from. He still remembered the top-level coach experience card that had been given to him by the System when he was still a newbie, when he had just gotten the Coaching System. He had been so impressed by the miraculous power of a top-level coach back then. Now, he himself had finally become a real top-level coach.

“Bonus! Bonus! My bonus! This is the upgrade from the second-rate coach to the top-level coach. I am supposed to get a bonus package with two rewards inside!” Dai Li said to the System expectedly.

An upgrade package was promptly given to him by the System, as expected. Upon opening the package, Dai Li found two items in it. Dai Li had seen them before—one light ring and one chip.

Dai Li had obtained two similar items before. The light ring had a similar shape to the explosive force halo he already had, but was a slightly different color, meaning it was also a halo. The chip, which had also been obtained by Dai Li before, was an upgrade for the detector.

“A halo! I finally got another halo!” Looking at the tiny halo, Dai Li was overjoyed. He had already learned of the mighty power a halo possessed.

When Dai Li had still been in the Beikou Training Center, Feixiang Lin was able to defeat Teng Dong, whose ability value was higher than his, with the help of the explosive force halo. It had even assisted him in breaking the world record for a second time.

Back during his days with the Youth Track and Field Team, the five athletes, including Jiankang Chen, were able to defeat the powerful opponents from the Nantan Middle School with the assistance of the explosive force halo.

The explosive force halo also played a part in Haiquan Fang’s success, when he won the Youth Games by defeating Gang Yang.

The halo also had a consecutive enhancement effect, which was effective on groups of athletes. Instead of applauding or cheering, Dai Li only needed to equip the halos in the System to get the benefits of it, which was more convenient than his other skills, which required hands-on involvement.

“What is this halo?” Dai Li asked.

“The endurance halo. As its name suggest, this halo can enhance an athlete’s endurance,” the System explained.

Dai Li thought of the middle and long distance running events immediately.

It was obvious that an athlete’s endurance was very important in the middle- and long-distance running events. Unlike the quickness of the sprinting events, the winner of the middle- and long-distance running events was often be identified in the last lap, especially in high level contests. The athlete with the more sufficient energy reserve and lower muscle fatigue could have the best chance of being the ultimate winner.

Soccer crossed Dai Li’s mind. A soccer game lasted more than ninety minutes accounting for injury time, and could even last 120 minutes in the case of the extra time. The players had to continue running on the field for an extended period of time. Therefore, the team with better endurance would have an advantage on offense, defense, and tactical cooperation.

Dai Li began thinking of some other sports that required running for long periods of time, and demanded a lot of endurance. As he was thinking, he was interrupted by the voice of the System, who said, “You have had the explosive force halo for a while now, and have seen its effects. So, for the endurance halo, I will only emphasize one point—it can enhance not only an athlete’s muscular endurance, but their cardiovascular endurance as well!”

“It can enhance their cardiovascular endurance too?!” Now Dai Li was really surprised.

Muscular endurance was the ability to work one’s muscles for a long time; in short, it was the ability to fight muscle fatigue. After exercising for a long time, people are bound to get tired, which mainly comes from muscle fatigue. Therefore, people with better muscular endurance are better suited to fight that fatigue, and continue working their muscles for longer periods of time.

Cardiovascular endurance, on the other hand, was the ability to inhale, exhale, and utilize oxygen. The easier someone could perform these processes, the better their cardiovascular endurance was. Cardiovascular endurance could also increase the supply of ATP-CP and glycolysis, which provided energy for physical activities.

Dai Li had assumed the endurance halo could only enhance muscular endurance. Its effects on cardiovascular endurance were something he had not expected. It was common knowledge that muscular and cardiovascular endurance complemented one another. The combination of the two could have an effect far greater than the two would normally have individually.

As I expected, the halo is the best bonus! Dai Li couldn’t help but think to himself. Then, Dai Li looked at the chip.

“Is this an upgrade for the detector?” Dai Li asked.

“Yes, this package can upgrade your detector into the advanced detector,” the System replied.

“When the primary detector was upgraded to the intermediate detector, I could check for an athlete’s specialties. What do I get from the advanced detector?” Dai Li asked immediately.

“With the advanced detector, your detection range will be increased by twenty meters based on your position,” the System answered immediately.

“Oh…” Dai Li replied in a blank look. He was not interested in this additional detection range of twenty meters. He had expected something better.

“In addition, the advanced detector can detect the pros and cons of athletes,” the System continued to say.

“What does that mean?” Dai Li assumed this was a quite miraculous effect enhancement.

“With just my introduction, you might still be puzzled. I suggest you find an athlete to try it out. The national team is never in short of athletes,” the System said.

“That’s right,” Dai Li nodded. He upgraded his detector using the System’s instruction. Then, he went to find an athlete to check the effects of the new detector.

Athletes were abundant in the training base of the national team. Soon, Dai Li found an athlete using the bathroom.

This guy seems like a long-jump athlete. I saw him in the long-jump group. I will choose him. Start the detection! Dai Li detected the athlete.

The next second, the System was filled with a lot of information. The content of the first two rows was the same as it had always been; however, the information in the last two rows made Dai Li excited.

Detection object: Professional Athlete

Event speciaty: pole vault; professional competence: 494; gift: C+

Advantages: good body flexibility, strong run-up rhythm, sufficient take up…

Disadvantages: insufficient grip strength, weak pole utilization, the grip strength of the left hand is significantly greater than that of the right hand….

My gosh! Looking at the detection results, Dai Li realized that the advanced detector was indeed a miraculous secret weapon!
