Su Bai taking over the men's 400 meters project has not only sparked discussions within the S province athletics team, but also gained some attention on the Athletics Kingdom forum. However, the level of discussion and attention surrounding this matter isn't particularly high. After all, prior to Qiu Wen, the 400 meters project of the S province athletics team had been dominated by only two athletes, Zhang Wei and Hu Li, for quite some time. Their performances were not able to attract much attention from athletics enthusiasts.

Starting from the beginning of the outdoor athletics season in April and May, every ten days or so, various domestic and international athletics events manage to capture the attention of these athletics fans. If it weren't for incidents like Qiu Wen switching projects and achieving outstanding results in the first battle, this level of discussion wouldn't have been generated.

Since April, the domestic athletics enthusiasts have primarily focused on Fang Yu in the 100 meters event and Wu Yi in the 200 meters event. During the winter training period from 2017 to 2018, the national team arranged a three-month training period in Germany specifically for Fang Yu and Wu Yi. The short-distance head coach of the national team personally took them to Germany, where, under the guidance of German sprinting experts, they underwent solid training for a full three months.

At the Asian Indoor Athletics Championships in February, Fang Yu and Wu Yi, who had returned from their special training, displayed impressive competitive form in the 60 meters sprint. Since the start of the outdoor season in April, Fang Yu achieved a commendable time of 10.06 seconds in the 100 meters at the first stop of the National Athletics Elite Tournament. Similarly, Wu Yi also achieved an impressive time of 20.62 seconds.

The outstanding performance and state of the two sprinting stars in the 100 meters and 200 meters events have captured the majority of attention from domestic athletics enthusiasts, temporarily causing the 400 meters sprint event to be forgotten.

Regardless of the level of attention online, the training of Zhang Wei and Hu Li within the S province athletics team hasn't shown a moment of relaxation.

The training objectives set by Su Bai for Zhang Wei and Hu Li hang over their heads during these days. They eagerly anticipate and feel a mix of excitement and nervousness about the ambitious goals Su Bai has set for them. They don't want insufficient training to be the factor that prevents them from achieving Su Bai's envisioned training objectives.

On the training field, Su Bai stands by the track, closely observing the training of Zhang Wei and Hu Li. He records real-time data on their training status while comparing it with their dynamic physical analysis stored in the system. This helps him understand their real-time bodily dynamics.

When Zhang Wei and Hu Li occasionally meet Su Bai's gaze, they always feel an extra level of tension. It's already the second week of training under Su Bai's guidance. In these two weeks, they have come to understand what Qiu Wen meant by "devil coach" – the term Qiu Wen used to describe Su Bai.

In reality, the training volume Su Bai has arranged for them seems lighter compared to their previous training requirements. After all, Su Bai had been very straightforward in saying: as long as you complete my training requirements with quality and quantity every day, once the training content is completed, you don't need to linger on the training field. You can go back early and rest.

Back when Qiu Wen received such preferential treatment in training, Zhang Wei and Hu Li had envied Qiu Wen's training conditions. However, now that they find themselves in the same situation, they understand why Qiu Wen used to call Su Bai a devil while enjoying this treatment.
