When you do everything to the extreme

Chapter 71 71. Zhou He participates in the competition to compete for the championship! Unfriendly applause!

The plane landed in Chengdu.

It's rare to see a clear sky with white clouds and bright sun.

It was perfect weather for holding the competition.

Otherwise, if it is a rainy day, the game may be postponed.

In Chengdu, out of the 365 days in a year, almost 300 are rainy days, and it is common for it to rain for one or two months in a row.

Wang Xiao and Yang Xiaoyu followed Zhang Jun and Sun Hong out of the airport, and were immediately greeted by the people who came to pick them up.

"Director Zhang, Wang Xiao, hello! I finally get to see you. You're truly amazing! It's our honor to have Wang Xiao participate in this Chengdu professional full marathon!"

The leader was He Fulin from the Chengdu Athletics Association. He came up and shook hands with Zhang Jun, Wang Xiao and others with a very enthusiastic attitude.

Now Wang Xiao is a rising star in the domestic sports circle.

Wang Xiao nodded slightly: "Thank you!"

Zhang Jun introduced Wang Xiao, "This is Director He Fulin from the Chengdu Athletics Association. Thank you Director He for coming to pick us up personally. Thank you!"

He Fulin smiled and shook his head. "I'm fine, so I came to pick you up! By the way, let me introduce you. These are the long-distance runners we trained in Rongcheng."

"Zhang Qiang, Li Haisheng, Zhou He! Zhou He just joined our Chengdu Athletics Association a few days ago and is very talented. I heard that you, Wang Xiao, came from a traditional martial arts background, so you and Zhou He should have something in common. Zhou He also came from a martial arts background and is said to be a descendant of Zhou Tai Chi."

Only then did Wang Xiao notice Zhou He standing behind them.

Zhou He smiled, looked at Wang Xiao, and said, "Master Wang, please give me your guidance for this competition."

Wang Xiao: "I don't deserve your advice, let's learn from each other."

Then, Wang Xiao took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hand to Zhou He. When he took a step, he naturally gathered strength from the ground, and then transferred it to the spinal dragon through the tendons, bones and fascia of his legs. The spinal dragon immediately accumulated this strength and condensed it without releasing it.

moment!

Wang Xiao exuded a heavy aura and a dangerous aura, as if something was about to explode.

Zhou He also stared slightly, without retreating, and also took a step forward, stepping on the Tai Chi step, his right foot drew a semicircle in the air, then his waist also slightly tightened, and his right hand stretched forward from behind his back with an obvious swinging motion. A faint whistling sound was heard in the air, like the sound of a whip.

Yang Xiaoyu also immediately stepped forward and came behind Wang Xiao, looking at Zhou He vigilantly.

Zhang Jun, He Fulin, Liu Yong, Ma Zhilin and others also noticed that Wang Xiao and Zhou He seemed to know each other, and the atmosphere between them was a little tense, so they hurriedly looked at them.

I saw that the two of them were holding hands together at this time!
Wang Xiao's Liuhe Paojin power-generating technique exploded instantly, and the power condensed by the dragon in his spine was transmitted through the tendons and fascia of his shoulders and arms and condensed in the palm of his hand, rushing out like a cannonball.

However, he ultimately failed to truly condense his strength, so when the power exploded, there was a distinct sound of a cannon, as if a cannon had dropped to the ground and exploded, which was extremely obvious.

Zhou He unleashed a burst of strength with his whip hand. It was real strength that exploded silently in the palm of his hand, directly dispersing the force condensed by Wang Xiao with the Six-Harmony Cannon Force. Then it rushed into Wang Xiao's palm, causing Wang Xiao's arm to tremble for a moment, and then he quickly retracted it. His entire arm felt numb, as if it had been suddenly hit by an extremely hard object.

This is the strength of Tai Chi, which is extremely strong and is known as the strongest strength.

Zhou He's arm also retracted and trembled slightly.

He had just gathered his strength not long ago, and although this burst of strength dispersed Wang Xiao's strength, Wang Xiao's strength also reached the edge of the condensed Liuhe Cannon Force. There was also a trace of recoil force that hit Zhou He's arm, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Haha, it's rumored that Master Wang has recently become enlightened, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds! It only took him half a month to go from comprehending Ming Jin to condensing An Jin. It seems that Master Wang is not far from truly reaching the An Jin realm. Perhaps, it will be after he wins this championship?"

Zhou He smiled and said to Wang Xiao, with a hint of temptation, wanting to see if Wang Xiao was really relying on winning the championship to refine his spirit.

Naturally, he could find Wang Xiao's detailed information, whether through connections in the martial arts circle or through Li Bowen's relationship, it was very easy.

Therefore, Zhou He guessed that Wang Xiao wanted to use the victory in Rongcheng to accumulate championship momentum again, so as to break through the dark power in one fell swoop.

Wang Xiao adjusted his breathing slightly, moving his Qi and blood to relieve the numbness in his arms, and said softly, "Concentrating Dark Energy is a long process. I don't know when it will be completed. Maybe after I win the championship."

Wang Xiao did not deny the importance of winning the competition to himself.

He also knew Zhou He's information. Zhou He was one of the core successors of the Zhou family of Tai Chi in Beijing. He started to condense his strength three years ago. Recently, he condensed the Tai Chi strength and successfully stepped into the realm of dark strength. He was one of the geniuses of the Zhou family of Tai Chi.

It can be said that Wang Xiao did not even have the qualifications to contact Zhou He before. At the age of 25, Zhou He successfully condensed his energy and stepped into the realm of dark energy.

But more than ten days ago, Wang Xiao couldn't even make a sound of Ming Jin.

Now, Wang Xiao's hard power is only slightly weaker than Zhou He's. Once he succeeds in condensing the Six Harmonies Cannon Force, he will be on par with Zhou He.

Zhou He said to Wang Xiao: "This championship is also very important to me."

Wang Xiao: "Then let's compete on the field."

Zhou He smiled and said, "Okay, we'll see who's better in the competition tomorrow."

After saying that, Wang Xiao nodded to the other two contestants from Chengdu, and then walked towards the nanny car that Zhang Jun had arranged in advance to pick them up at the airport.

Zhang Jun, He Fulin, Sun Hong and others finally came to their senses, said hello to each other and left.

Seeing that Wang Xiao and Zhou He seemed to be getting along a little, they didn't feel comfortable continuing to exchange pleasantries with each other.

He Fulin and Zhou He watched Wang Xiao, Zhang Jun and others leave.

He Fulin asked Zhou He, "Zhou He, is there a conflict between you and Wang Xiao?"

He Fulin had originally wanted to try to recruit Wang Xiao to join the Chengdu Athletics Association. Although the chances were slim, he still had to have a dream. But now that Zhou He and Wang Xiao were at odds, He Fulin couldn't bring himself to speak.

Zhou He shook his head. "There's no conflict between him and me! It's just that we both want the championship, so naturally there's a conflict."

He Fulin was silent for a moment, then said, "Zhou He, I'm not trying to discourage you, but are you sure you can win and be worthy enough to compete with Wang Xiao for the championship? He currently holds the domestic record for full and half marathons! His physical test data also shows exceptional talent, with an Achilles tendon measuring a full thirty centimeters long. Your Achilles tendon, while also quite gifted, is only twenty-seven centimeters."

Zhou He glanced at He Fulin and asked, "If it's all about talent, then what's the point of having competitions? Wouldn't it be enough to just award medals based on talent?"

After hearing this, He Fulin and the others fell silent again, unable to respond.

Indeed, talent is just talent, strength is strength, and everything depends on performance on the field.

but……

Sports competition is actually a field that relies on talent.

Zhou He saw that the others were silent and knew that they had no confidence in themselves. In fact, he himself was not very confident either. After all, he had just arrived in Chengdu and had only trained for two days.

After only two days of training, he realized that full marathon and half marathon were not as easy as he thought.

Wang Xiao’s victory was not due to luck, nor was it entirely due to his internal cultivation!

However, Zhou He saw Wang Xiao's path to martial arts, so he naturally wanted to compete for it.

Moreover, he has gradually figured out some running methods that suit him, and he will try them out in tomorrow's race. In addition, he has a strong talent for running, so he believes that he definitely has a chance to win the championship.

Even if he fails this time, he will definitely be able to do it next time after a period of training.

……

Wang Xiao and Yang Xiaoyu sat in the middle seat of the car, with Liu Yong and Ma Zhilin sitting in front and behind them.

Zhang Jun in front asked curiously, "Master Wang, do you have a conflict with Zhou He?"

Wang Xiao shook his head: "There's no conflict between him and me. It's just that we both want to win the championship, so naturally there are conflicts."

Wang Xiao didn't know that what Zhou He said was almost exactly the same as what he said.

There is indeed no personal grudge between the two, only the competition for the championship.

Zhang Jun laughed and said, "Then you have a conflict with all the other athletes. We all want to win the championship. While the competition pressure in this race isn't as high as the half marathon in Beijing, it's still higher than the professional full marathon in Shanghai! There are quite a few top international athletes participating."

Sun Hong nodded and said solemnly, "Five of the top ten domestic professional marathon runners are here, and four of the top ten international professional marathon runners are here! There are also many other talented runners, bringing the total number of participants to over 200."

It was obvious that neither of them took Zhou He seriously.

After all, Zhou He has not achieved any results yet and is far behind other top players at home and abroad.

Only Wang Xiao and Yang Xiaoyu knew that Zhou He could be a big threat.

Sun Hong continued, "The news of your participation has spread, and many domestic and international sports media outlets are hyping it up. Wardy, who made a bet with you last time in Beijing, has publicly told the media several times that you've been taking drugs! Our media outlets have refuted this, showing us your urine test results, but they've all ignored it."

The tactics of Wodi and foreign media are to focus on the blind and deaf.

You say yours, I say mine.

Wang Xiao didn't care about it and just said, "Next time there's news about Wardy participating in a competition, let me know. I want to run a race with him."

Obviously, Wang Xiao didn't want to let Wardy go so magnanimously.

When Yang Xiaoyu heard this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. If she met Wodi again next time, she would not be so lenient.

The car drove all the way to a hotel near the competition venue.

A large number of athletes participating in the competition, as well as many media from domestic and international sports circles, have gathered at the hotel.

Originally, China's full marathon and half marathon races received very little international attention, because there was no news worth paying attention to, and the results were basically as expected. The top few places were taken by top international athletes, and Chinese athletes could only strive for the top ten, and only some small media would report on these.

Many foreign media have previously referred to China's long-distance running competitions as ATMs for international athletes.

Wang Xiao suddenly emerged and defeated many top domestic and foreign players in two competitions to win the championship, which immediately attracted the attention of many domestic and foreign sports media.

In addition, there are many controversies surrounding Wang Xiao. In the competition in Shanghai, Eddie and Simmons did not recognize Wang Xiao's achievements.

In the Beijing competition, Wang Xiao won the bet with Wardy, but Wardy broke his leg!
All these have made Wang Xiao attract the attention of many media and audiences.

and so.

Wang Xiao's car stopped at the hotel entrance. As soon as Zhang Jun and Wang Xiao got out of the car, many media outlets gathered around.

Liu Yong, Ma Zhilin, Sun Hong, and Sun Li all helped to keep the media out, preventing them from harassing Wang Xiao. They escorted Wang Xiao and Yang Xiaoyu into the hotel.

clap clap clap...

As Wang Xiao and Yang Xiaoyu walked into the hotel, applause suddenly broke out.

A big black man clapped his hands and stared at Wang Xiao, as if welcoming Wang Xiao, but his expressionless face was obviously not a welcoming look.
