Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 74: Accidentally Broke the Marathon World Record

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Accidentally Broke the Marathon World Record

Although this meal was quite expensive, the taste was undeniably good, and the stir-fried dishes on the rice were full of color, aroma, and flavor, with plenty of wok hei. This brought Wang Ye a bit of solace for spending 175 yuan on dinner.

Wang Ye took roughly another half an hour to finish these seven portions of rice bowls. He let out a burp.

After eating, he lifted his wristwatch and glanced at the time.

18:45

It was already evening.

After waiting for the food in his stomach to digest a bit, Wang Ye began practicing Tai Chi on the balcony of his room and took out a thermos filled with Tai Chi Tonic from his travel bag.

Due to the evening rush hour when workers are getting off work, the roads were crowded with people and cars, mixed with many reckless delivery riders.

This time of day made it nearly impossible to train for Running.

Wang Ye planned to wait until nearly midnight when there were fewer people on the roads to train for Running.

With the race approaching, every second count that can be improved matters.

In recent days, Wang Ye often reached out to Wang Lianzheng on WeChat to ask for tips in Running and short video sectors. Occasionally, they would chat about the Shenzhen Marathon.

It is said that this Shenzhen Marathon has attracted top athletes from across the country and even the world. Even the current national marathon champion and record holder, He Jie, will be present, while the "Bounty Hunter" Big Black will be there in greater numbers. Rumors suggest that the number of participants like Big Black in this Shenzhen Marathon is several times more than in the last half marathon in Longjiang District.

Therefore, besides Zone A, the Shenzhen Marathon has also set up an exclusive Zone S for specially invited runners.

Although Wang Ye already won the half marathon last time and passed all doping and various indicator tests, the post-tax prize of 80,000 RMB has also been credited to Wang Ye’s bank account.

However, since Wang Ye has only limited marathon experiences with just a small competition win, he will most likely start in Zone C.

Wang Ye is not worried about this.

Nonetheless, starting in Zone C would surely drag down his performance seriously, especially in this crowded Shenzhen Marathon. It would be nearly impossible to break out of Zone C immediately.

It might even prevent him from breaking the record.

The only thing Wang Ye can do is strive to enhance his speed.

And aim to improve his performance in the latter part.

With this in mind,

Wang Ye continued his Tai Chi training.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window, he could see the diverse lives on the street outside.

The feeling of practicing Tai Chi in a bustling city brought about a unique sense of tranquility.

Wang Ye maintained focus, constantly refining his martial skills and Qi Sensitivity.

The Qi Sensitivity he cultivated could help enhance his Neural Recruitment Ability, noticeably improving his athletic performance, something that has been proven numerous times in practice.

While practicing Tai Chi, Wang Ye summoned his attributes panel,

[Body: 4.5]

[Divine: 3.6]

[Evolution Level: 33.0]

[Continuously evolving, increasing by one Evolution Level each day.]

Calculating based on his attributes,

Wang Ye’s overall physical fitness should be four times that of a normal person now.

It’s important to note that the peak of one extreme ability in elite athletes is only about three times the normal level.

Yet strictly speaking, Wang Ye’s physique does not yet truly break the human limits.

Currently, he is only striving for a breakthrough within the limits.

Wang Ye has a premonition.

Once he thoroughly breaks through this limit, his body should undergo some strange changes, gaining special abilities beyond human imagination.

Similar to the concept of "Genetic Lock."

When this barrier is shattered, extraordinary abilities can be attained.

But as of now,

Wang Ye can only wait for the day when he breaks through the limit.

About three hours later.

Wang Ye had already alternately trained in both Tai Chi and Golden Bell Shield.

He also downed the specially brought Tai Chi Tonic.

It was nearing nine in the evening.

Outside, only a few haggard-looking young men were left wandering with briefcases, seemingly white-collar workers who had worked overtime until just now.

"The timing is about right, I can head out for Running now."

Wang Ye glanced at the time on his wristwatch.

He changed into Running-suitable sportswear and carbon-plated shoes and stepped out of the hotel.

It was already May, and the climate in Shenzhen during this season was quite hot. Even the evening breeze carried a trace of heat.

Wang Ye took a deep breath.

With evolution, his heat tolerance had also risen to a higher level. This was due to a substantial enhancement in the cooling functions of his pores and breathing. So, neither the 30-degree temperature nor the blazing sun would affect his state of exercise.

Following navigation, he arrived at a park.

After a minor warm-up, he began to run along the track.

His Running speed was approximately maintaining a pace of 255 splits.

Which translates to a speed of 2 minutes and 55 seconds per kilometer.

Although it was quite late now,

the park still had several other runners besides Wang Ye, jogging on the track.

Most people, upon witnessing Wang Ye’s Running speed, displayed an astonished expression.

Anyone with even a basic understanding could directly discern how terrifying Wang Ye’s level was.

Even the current world marathon champion—Kipchoge—required an array of 41 runners forming a draft array to achieve such speed.

Yet Wang Ye, relying solely on physical power, reached this speed. How could it not leave people in awe?

Yet Wang Ye paid no attention to the gazes around him.

Instead, he focused on maintaining his pace.

Running around the park, lap after lap.

·······································

About two hours later.

It was already eleven at night.

By now, there were hardly any other people visible in the park.

Wang Ye finally completed the 42 kilometers.

Which is equivalent to a full marathon distance.

He sat on a marble bench in the park, looking at the data on his sports watch.

[42.25 kilometers]

[Time: 01:58.24]

[Average pace: 2.47]

"I actually got under two hours!"

A hint of joy appeared on Wang Ye’s pale face.

Initially, he just wanted to test his limits at full capacity.

But unexpectedly, with this test, he inadvertently broke the world record!
