Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 306 - 249: Renown Spreads Far and Wide

At this moment, all the viewers on the live streaming platforms couldn’t help but clench their fists,

even their palms were sweaty!

Especially the Chinese viewers and marathon enthusiasts.

They were all staring at the screen, not daring to blink.

Afraid of missing even a tiny bit of Wang Ye crossing the finish line.

At this moment.

Everyone held their breath, focusing intently on Wang Ye running alone on the road.

The previously bustling race course was now so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Pat, pat...

Only the sound of Wang Ye’s footsteps was clearly audible.

Finally,

after a long half a minute.

Wang Ye spread his arms and burst through the ribbon at the finish line!

Boom!!!

Amidst the sound of countless fireworks and champagne sprays, people all over the world watching this broadcast jumped up in excitement. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The on-site host and broadcast commentator were passionately describing the situation on the spot.

"Local time, October 10th, our country’s marathon runner Wang Ye finished the Chicago Marathon in one hour, eleven minutes, and fifty-seven seconds! With no suspense, he has once again set a new world record, rewriting the world record in the marathon event once again!"

"This is the third time he has broken the world record for the marathon, raising his previous record by more than twenty minutes, heralding a new era in track and field! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say this is surely the most brilliant milestone in the history of world sports!"

"Words can no longer convey my excitement, Wang Ye’s astonishing endurance and speed, and his perfect technique have reached heights that humanity will likely never achieve for hundreds or even thousands of years!"

Broadcast commentators from various countries were excitedly reporting on the scene in various languages on live channels in different countries. The drone footage from above and the surrounding cameras were all firmly focused on Wang Ye, not switching shots for a long time.

Countless staff and fans swarmed around, lifting Wang Ye up.

And took him to the podium for the award ceremony.

After Wang Ye finished crossing the line, for nearly a whole hour, no one else reached the finish line.

This scene has probably never occurred in the entire history of world sports competitions.

Until an hour later,

other top athletes finally began crossing the line one after another.

Like Kipchoge and other top marathon runners who usually could win first place in various competitions.

Upon seeing Wang Ye’s performance of leading them by an hour, they were all taken aback.

As top athletes extensively experienced in the marathon for decades,

it’s safe to say no one understands the limits of human endurance better than they do.

That’s why they were the most shocked by this performance among everyone present,

and the subsequent runners crossing the line, such as professional runners from China, were equally surprised, though not as much as the top-tier runners beforehand.

Among them, Wang Lianzheng was the calmest because he had already recognized Wang Ye’s prowess while filming videos together earlier. The achievements Wang Ye attained now were only to be expected for him.

Bright, who met Wang Ye at the velodrome, crossed the line two hours and forty-nine minutes in, a full hour and a half behind Wang Ye.

After crossing the line, he wanted to say hello to Wang Ye, but alas, Wang Ye was already surrounded by countless journalists and media for interviews, so he just waved to Wang Ye from afar and left.

·························

·························

After the race, Wang Ye was interviewed for several hours and then taken for a rigorous anti-doping urine test.

Until around 3 PM, he finally had some free time.

He boarded a special car prepared in advance by Ah Gui, ready to return to his accommodation.

And prepared to pack his luggage and take a flight to Mexico for the next challenge.

Although Wang Ye had just finished a high-intensity marathon and went through an afternoon of interviews, he showed no signs of visible fatigue,

Instead, he appeared even more energetic than Ah Gui, who had been working overtime for more than half a month.

Ah Gui now looked gloomy, with sunken cheeks, as if he was on something.

This made the surrounding subordinates secretly amazed at Wang Ye’s stamina. Ordinary people might return weakly from a high-intensity five-kilometer run, unable to utter a word. Yet Wang Ye ran a full forty kilometers and had such lengthy interviews, still looking full of energy, it was simply unbelievable.

While riding back in the special car, Wang Ye was still discussing the footage taken earlier with Ah Gui.

Throughout the race, Ah Gui and his team followed closely in a car filming Wang Ye. They even filmed the "three-second overtake" scene of Wang Ye, and because their camera was quite advanced, the footage was much clearer than the live broadcast, with more impactful visuals.

Thus, Ah Gui was very excited during the conversation with Wang Ye, boasting that he would edit the footage into a high-quality, movie-level clip within half a month.

Yet, thinking that he had just finished editing the promotional video for Awakening Earth,

Wang Ye couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.

Truly a born working man, who else would exploit themselves like this?
