When you do everything to the extreme

Chapter 78 77. Breaking my own record again! The promotion of the championship baptism!
"Wang Xiao...come on..."

"Wang Xiao...come on..."

"champion……"

"Wang Xiao, champion..."

“We are the champions…”

……

Cheers rushed directly into Wang Xiao's mind. The moment he crossed the finish line, his mind went blank for a moment. He felt a little light and as if he was about to fly. He felt very refreshed from the inside out, but it only lasted for a moment.

next second!
Zhang Jun, Sun Hong, Sun Li, Liu Yong, Ma Zhilin and others rushed up, surrounded Wang Xiao, and cheered together.

The host roared, "He won! Wang Xiao won! He created a miracle. He participated in two full marathons, a professional half marathon, and an amateur full marathon in just two weeks, and won them all... His physical strength is at the BUG level..."

"Wang Xiao defeated top international players like Phyllis and Asir, and even dodged Lacadi's attacks. After many twists and turns, he finally won the championship."

"In the face of absolute strength, other tricks are meaningless..."

"Let's see if he can break the record..."

……

Many media outlets around were also frantically capturing this scene.

Many media wanted to rush forward to interview Wang Xiao, but were stopped by security personnel.

Wang Xiao was supported by Zhang Jun and Sun Hong and walked towards the rest area. He quickly came to his senses and felt as if his whole spirit had undergone a baptism. His mind became a little sharper and his confidence became stronger.

Looking back at Phyllis and Zhou He who had not yet crossed the finish line, Wang Xiao felt that they were a little insignificant. He believed that he could defeat them more easily next time.

call……

Taking a deep breath and exhaling the foul air, Wang Xiao showed a smile on his face. He followed Zhang Jun and Sun Hong to the rest area and gave Yang Xiaoyu a hug when she came over.

This was the first time he hugged Yang Xiaoyu publicly, which made Yang Xiaoyu stunned for a moment. Then her pretty face turned slightly red, and she also put her arms around Wang Xiao's waist.

She also responded bravely, not caring about the looks around her.

The cheers around paused for a moment, and everyone looked at the scene curiously.

At this moment, the host roared again: "Wang Xiao has once again broken the professional full marathon record for Chinese athletes! This time he ran an astonishing two hours and two minutes, a full two minutes faster than the two hours and four minutes he set last time in Shanghai. He is now less than a minute away from the fastest world men's marathon record. This is absolutely amazing progress!"

"You know, every top professional marathon runner needs extensive training to improve their performance. Even a few dozen seconds of improvement is considered a significant improvement. And Wang Xiao improved a full two minutes this time, and that was only a dozen days apart..."

"This shows that Wang Xiao has greatly improved his strength through hard training during this period!"

"But this is definitely not Wang Xiao's limit... I believe he still has potential to tap. He will definitely run faster next time..."

The host spoke excitedly about Wang Xiao's achievements.

He also knew Wang Xiao's detailed information. He knew that Wang Xiao was an amateur athlete half a month ago. He had never participated in professional competitions and had not received any professional training. However, he won the championship in the Magic City Professional Full Marathon and became a sensation.

Then Wang Xiao will definitely be able to improve his performance after professional training!
This time, the result was improved by a full two minutes compared to the Magic City, which is proof of that.

but……

Wang Xiao has only gone through a dozen days of professional training and he has improved so much...

So if I continue to train hard in the future, will there still be a lot of room for improvement?
Is it possible to break the world record in the future?
After all, it was less than a minute away from the world record!
With Wang Xiao's terrifying rate of improvement, it might not be long before he has the opportunity to break the world record.

Many professionals in the sports circle nodded secretly after hearing this, and media reporters also quickly grasped this point and prepared to report and explore it in detail.

He Fulin and Du Xinghua also came to Wang Xiao's side.

"Wang Xiao, congratulations, you won the championship and broke your record!"

He Fulin congratulated Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao took a sip of water and smiled at He Fulin, "Thank you, Director He. Your Zhou He is also quite powerful. I feel threatened."

He Fulin smiled and said, "That's right. We also believe that he can continue to improve and have the opportunity to achieve better results and rankings."

At this time.

Phyllis, who was not far away, also crossed the finish line and took second place, only thirty seconds slower than Wang Xiao. This was not his best performance.

Many international media reporters gathered around to interview Phyllis, hoping to get news on controversial topics.

The reporter asked: "Phyllis, Wang Xiao has won another championship. Do you think he won it based on his own strength?"

Facing this provocative question, Phyllis knew the other party's purpose and replied modestly: "The authorities will give us an answer. I think he is very strong!"

Another reporter asked, "Phyllis, do you think it's normal for Wang Xiao to win three professional long-distance races and one amateur race in just over ten days? Is this the kind of physical reserve a normal person should have?"

Phyllis shook her head: "I don't know, I believe the authorities will give us the answer!"

Phyllis actually had some doubts in her heart.

However, his personality is different from Ed, Wardy, Lacadi and others. He is usually low-key and pragmatic. He just wants to participate in the competition and get the prize money to improve the lives of himself and his family.

Although he didn't win the championship this time, the second place also received a prize of 15,000 US dollars. It wasn't a wasted trip, and he got some extra benefits. He was already satisfied.

He didn't want to be used as a tool by the media to attack Wang Xiao and create news, as that would offend Wang Xiao and other Chinese audiences, as well as sports organizations.

He wants to come to China to participate in competitions and win prize money in the future, so naturally he doesn't want to offend these people.

So, Phyllis answered two questions and left quickly.

This disappointed many media outlets, who all hoped for another athlete like Ed, Simmons, Wordy, and Lacadi who could create news and conflicts!

Some media rushed to the hospital and wanted to interview Lakadi!

Liang Bing, through Zhang Jun's connections, came to Wang Xiao and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Master Wang, on winning another professional full marathon championship! You are now the pride of our Chinese long-distance running community. Winning three professional races in such a short period of time is something no other long-distance runner in the world can achieve."

Liang Bing also showed respect for Wang Xiao at this time, and followed Zhang Jun and Sun Hong's way of addressing Wang Xiao, calling him Master Wang.

Wang Xiao nodded and smiled gently, then said two words softly: "Thank you."

Liang Bing knew that Wang Xiao didn't like nonsense, so she got straight to the point: "Then I'll do a small interview with Master Wang now, okay?"

Wang Xiao nodded: "Okay!"

Liang Bing immediately asked, "Master Wang, many people question your ability to participate in three such high-intensity professional long-distance running competitions in a short period of time. This is not the physical fitness a normal human should have. What are your questions about this?"

Wang Xiao held Yang Xiaoyu's hand tightly and replied, "Actually, I usually don't want to respond to these so-called doubts. Because I have a clear conscience! This is my true strength. However, since so many people have questions, I will answer them once, and only once."

"Reporter Liang, you should also know that I am a martial artist."

Liang Bing nodded: "Yes, I know that you, Master Wang, run a martial arts school."

Wang Xiao's information is no longer a secret in the circle or even on the Internet.

Everyone knows that he used to run a martial arts school, and he still runs one now. He didn't change his career after winning the championship and making money.

Wang Xiao: "I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, nearly twenty years ago, and I've mastered internal martial arts to a very high level. Therefore, I have plenty of physical strength. Furthermore, when I run, I can control my breath and leg power through internal breathing, which allows me to maximize my energy control and conserve it! After the race, I actually still have some energy left. If I run at full speed, I should be able to improve my time by more than a minute."

"After the competition, I can also quickly recover my physical strength through boxing training. It will take about three to five days to fully recover my physical strength and continue to participate in the next competition in peak condition..."

After winning the championship three times, Wang Xiao feels that his spirit has been refined and improved, and he is more confident. Faced with such doubts, he does not mind explaining himself to let more people know about his family martial arts and the charm of traditional martial arts.

Moreover, this is also an opportunity to promote one's own martial arts and traditional martial arts.

He didn't know why many other martial arts successors in modern society were so low-key. In the face of many doubts about traditional martial arts, they did not publicly prove anything and continued to make a lot of money quietly.

However, Wang Xiao will not do that. If he has the opportunity to prove himself and traditional martial arts, he will do it.

Zhang Jun, Sun Hong and Sun Li standing nearby were no longer surprised by this. They had witnessed Wang Xiao winning the championship three times, so they all recognized that a master of traditional martial arts like Wang Xiao might really be able to excel in sports events. It was just that most martial arts masters did not come to participate.

Zhang Jun has been thinking about contacting more traditional martial arts successors after returning to Shanghai, inviting them to participate in sports competitions, and testing whether they all have strong skills.

Liang Bing, hearing this for the first time, asked in amazement, "Master Wang, is what you said true? Do traditional martial arts really have such magical powers?"

Liang Bing has seen many videos exposing fake traditional martial arts in recent years. Some so-called martial arts masters with great reputations can be beaten to a pulp by any professional Sanda athlete. His fantasy about traditional martial arts has long been shattered. He thinks it is just a fitness sport with no real use.

Listening to Wang Xiao's words, Liang Bing still had some doubts and disbelief in her heart. Wang Xiao nodded affirmatively: "Yes, what I said is true, I can take responsibility for it!"

Liang Bing asked expectantly, "How do you prove it?"

Wang Xiao said arrogantly, "I don't need to prove anything! My results are the best proof. After today's match, I will participate in several more competitions, and I have already secured the championship in these competitions. Anyone who is not convinced can come and beat me in the competition."

Liang Bing was silent for a moment, then asked curiously, "Oh? What other competitions did Master Wang participate in next?"

Wang Xiao looked at Sun Hong, and Sun Hong replied, "Master Wang has signed up for the Xihai Lake Men's Professional Half Marathon in ten days, the Xiamen Men's Professional Full Marathon in a dozen days, and the West Lake Men's Professional Half Marathon in twenty days."

When Liang Bing heard Sun Hong's answer, she looked at Wang Xiao in astonishment.

Plus the three games that Wang Xiao has already won, and the three games to come.

Wang Xiao participated in six high-intensity professional long-distance running competitions in a row over a period of about a month and a half...

If you include the amateur full marathon that I first participated in Shanghai, that would be seven races!
On average, I participate in a full marathon or half marathon about once a week.

Liang Bing couldn't help but wonder...

Is that human being?
Did Wang Xiao take medicine?

Otherwise, how could he have such physical strength?
She didn't dare to report this kind of news material for a while.

They were afraid that it would bring Wang Xiao overwhelming doubts and pressure from public opinion.

At this time, Wang Xiao looked at Zhou He who was running across the finish line not far away.

As expected, Zhou He took third place, only about one minute slower than Wang Xiao, and even better than Wang Xiao's result in the Shanghai Professional Marathon.

If Zhou He had participated in the Shanghai Professional Men's Full Marathon and achieved such a result, Wang Xiao might not have been able to win the championship.

pity……

Wang Xiao's strength has improved again, and this time his running result was two minutes faster than in the Shanghai competition.

This is a number that many professional marathon runners find difficult to improve in their lifetime.

Zhou He ran across the finish line, breathing slightly, and looked at Wang Xiao. Their eyes met in the air.

Zhou He didn't care about the comfort and happiness of He Fulin and Du Xinghua beside him. He just looked at Wang Xiao. He could vaguely feel that Wang Xiao's condition was a little different from before.

The momentum is more confident and the spirit is more sufficient!
Zhou He's pupils narrowed slightly, and he immediately walked towards Wang Xiao.

He Fulin said excitedly, "Third place is already a very good result. This time is one minute faster than Wang Xiao's time in Shanghai. It is the second best result among all Chinese marathon runners, second only to Wang Xiao. Zhou He, if you train hard in the future, you will definitely have a chance to surpass Wang Xiao and win the championship. You may even have a chance to win the world championship in the future..."

Zhou He didn't speak to He Fulin and the others, but walked straight up to Wang Xiao.

Yang Xiaoyu immediately stood in front of Wang Xiao and looked at Zhou He vigilantly.

Zhang Jun, Sun Hong, and Sun Li also came to Wang Xiao nervously and looked at Zhou He vigilantly.

He Fulin and Du Xinghua also became nervous, not knowing what Zhou He was going to do.

If Zhou He and Wang Xiao had a conflict in such a situation, it would be a big deal and difficult to deal with afterwards.

He Fulin hurriedly whispered, "Zhou He, calm down! We can talk about it later."

Zhou He patted He Fulin's shoulder, indicating that he was fine, and then said to Wang Xiao, "I can see that you are different again. It seems that winning the championship is really useful! Wang Xiao, I won't let you win the championship next time."

Zhou He witnessed the slight change in Wang Xiao after he won the championship, and he became even more eager for the championship.

He also wanted to obtain such benefits, to improve his talent and understanding, so that he could embark on a higher path of martial arts in the future.

Wang Xiao smiled faintly and said, "You failed to stop me this time, and you won't be able to stop me in the future!"

Zhou He thought that after Wang Xiao won the championship, he only experienced a baptism of spirit and energy, and his understanding was enhanced, but this could not improve his strength in a short period of time. His strength was still stronger than Wang Xiao, but his long-distance running experience was weaker than Wang Xiao. Next time, he still had a great chance of defeating Wang Xiao and winning the championship.

What Zhou He didn't know was that Wang Xiao would gain a lot of experience points after winning the championship, which would help him improve his strength in a short period of time. The next time he participated in the competition, he would be stronger and would be able to achieve better results.

Zhou He will only face a stronger Wang Xiao.

Having failed to stop Wang Xiao this time, it will be even more impossible to snatch the championship from Wang Xiao in the future.

Zhou He looked at the confidence that Wang Xiao exuded from his bones, and felt a little worried.

But he is also a genius and has absolute confidence. He believes that if he continues to practice, improve his internal skills, and improve his techniques of exerting force and controlling physical strength when running, he will definitely have a chance to defeat Wang Xiao and win the championship next time.

After all, in this competition, he saw that the gap between the two was not very big, only about one minute.

Zhang Jun reminded both parties: "It's time to take a urine test!"

He knew that both of them were martial artists, and was afraid that they would not be able to control themselves and would fight if they confronted each other here, so he reminded them to take urine tests and separated them first.

Wang Xiao and Zhou He nodded at the same time, then turned and walked towards the temporary bathroom to get urine test samples.

Liang Bing also finished the interview with Wang Xiao, and then quickly caught up with Zhou He: "Zhou He, can I do an exclusive interview with you?"

He Fulin stopped Liang Bing and said, "Sorry, Zhou He will not accept the interview for the time being!"

After saying that, He Fulin took Zhou He to do a urine test.

He Fulin knew that Liang Bing was a reporter for Shanghai Sports News and had the best relationship with Shanghai sports circles. Naturally, he would not let Zhou He accept an interview with Liang Bing. Who knew how Liang Bing would report it afterwards?
In order to protect Zhou He, He Fulin only arranged interviews for Zhou He with media familiar to him in Chengdu.

This is the unspoken rule that is tacitly accepted in every circle.

They only work with people they are familiar with.

Especially in the media circle, it all depends on personal connections.

Liang Bing was not surprised that she did not interview Zhou He. She began to concentrate on organizing the materials from the interview with Wang Xiao, and was still hesitating whether to report it.

After a little hesitation, she sent it to the editorial department and asked them to report it as soon as possible.

Anyway, it was all said by Wang Xiao himself, and her truthful reporting without embellishment was enough to help Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao walked into the bathroom to take a urine sample, and Zhou He followed him in. The two stood side by side, looked at each other, and without saying a word, silently took urine samples together.

but……

The men's curiosity and competitive spirit made them look down at each other again.

Then, Wang Xiao still showed a confident smile.

Zhou He widened his eyes in astonishment, full of disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible!"

Wang Xiao had already turned around and walked out without paying any attention to Zhou He. He was then pulled to the podium by Zhang Jun.

In the two previous competitions, Wang Xiao did not go to the podium to receive the medals, but went straight away to rest. This made many people dissatisfied, thinking that Wang Xiao was being arrogant and looking down on others. Many media outlets hyped this up, which brought some negative impact to Wang Xiao.

this time……

Zhang Jun forcibly dragged Wang Xiao to the podium and whispered to him, "You still have to participate in the award ceremony. This is to show respect to other athletes and prevent them from finding an excuse to attack you!"

Wang Xiao nodded slightly without saying anything, and followed Zhang Jun to the podium, standing in the middle position for the champion. Next to him was Phyllis, who was in second place. Zhou He also walked over slowly from behind, still looking at Wang Xiao with some shock and disbelief on his face, as if he had seen the most incredible thing, which seemed to be a bigger blow than not winning the championship.

"champion……"

"Wang Xiao champion..."

"Zhou He is also very impressive. He came in third in his first competition!"

"Chinese athletes have risen to prominence in this Chengdu competition, taking up two of the top three spots. Awesome!"

……

The audience and media around were also talking excitedly, and if they took pictures of this scene, it would be reported everywhere soon.

The organizers awarded medals to the three people.

After Wang Xiao received the medal, he took a photo with the media and turned to say goodbye. He had no interest in dealing with these media.

He also wanted to go back quickly to sort out his gains and look at the long list of densely packed information prompts, wondering how much improvement it could bring to him.
