Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 124: Preparing to Walk Across the Country

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Preparing to Walk Across the Country

Today, Wang Ye displayed so many incredible skills.

Each one exceeded Xu Chun’s imagination.

This made Xu Chun quite puzzled,

How could an ordinary person possess so many amazing skills at once?

Thinking of this, Xu Chun tentatively asked:

"May I ask, Brother Wang, what place did you achieve in this marathon?"

"First place." Wang Ye continued roasting the fish, his expression unchanged.

"First place? Champion?" Xu Chun’s eyes trembled, "So... that young man who broke the marathon world record is actually you?"

"That’s me, you can search it online." Wang Ye replied.

Although Xu Chun knew Wang Ye probably wouldn’t lie to him, he still took out his phone to search for more information about the marathon event.

A week had passed since the completion of this Shenzhen Marathon, and the results of procedures like doping tests were out, with the standings posted online by the organizing committee. It was easily accessible by entering the Shenzhen Marathon keyword in any search engine.

As soon as the standings appeared before him, his pupils slightly shrank.

"First place... it is indeed Wang Ye."

Xu Chun bit his lip and continued searching for photos of the marathon event.

In large-scale events like this with tens of thousands of participants,

most will have drone-captured event photos published online.

Xu Chun found the high-definition photo of the champion crossing the finish line and repeatedly zoomed in on the face.

Although the face appeared somewhat pale and tired, it was unmistakably Wang Ye in front of him.

He took out other photos again and compared them several times.

But all search results pointed to one conclusion—

The Wang Ye in front of him was indeed the winner of this Shenzhen Marathon.

And also the current marathon world record holder.

For a moment, Xu Chun felt that Wang Ye seemed much more unfamiliar.

"It’s too incredible... I unknowingly spent an entire day playing with a world record holder..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye grinned without speaking.

After finishing grilling and eating the remaining dozen fish,

he and Xu Chun packed up all the picnic tools and put them back in the car trunk.

After tidying up, Xu Chun drove Wang Ye away from the wild mountain.

Around midnight.

Wang Ye bid farewell to Xu Chun and returned to the hotel.

He splashed cold water from the tap on his face in the bathroom, sat on the bed, and rested for a while by watching some videos.

Half an hour later, he picked up a hammer from the drawer and began training his Golden Bell Shield skill on the balcony.

With his persistent nightly training, his Golden Bell Shield skill level was gradually approaching full mastery.

It’s expected to break through to level 4 in these few days.

This kind of horizontal training skill, which requires physical endurance, is the hardest to improve in skill level, needing long-term persistence for significant progress.

Because each time his tendons, bones, and skin became bruised and swollen, he needed to rest for a period before resuming training. Unlike running or walking skills where high-intensity training for several hours at a time is possible with minimal physical detriment, allowing him to resume training with just a few deep breaths.

After forty minutes of training,

Wang Ye, covered with bruises, stepped into a bathtub filled with deep red medicinal liquid.

The intense sensation immediately flooded all over his skin.

Though Wang Ye had long been accustomed to the medicinal baths following each day’s training, the initial sharp pain upon entering the bathtub still made him involuntarily frown.

After about a few minutes of acclimatization,

the pain on Wang Ye’s body gradually subsided.

He leaned against the edge of the bathtub, gazing at the ceiling, recalling the journey of the past few days.

Although Wang Ye’s recent travels seemed leisurely and laid back,

in fact, he never stopped training his skill levels during each trip.

For instance, swimming training at Dameisha, parkour and rock climbing at Wutong Mountain, light body technique training at Dayan Peak, and so on.

Each destination was indeed quite beneficial to him.

After finishing his bath, Wang Ye used a towel placed nearby to wipe off the remaining medicinal liquid on his body.

He donned a bathrobe, leaned against the bedhead, and opened his phone to book a ticket to Lanzhou for the coming days.

But while searching for travel itineraries, a bold idea suddenly crossed his mind.

"Since traveling can train multiple skills, why bother taking transportation for future trips? Why not just trek and walk?"

The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

Like discovering something novel.

"With my current endurance, walking a thousand miles takes less than a day. From Shenzhen to Lanzhou is a total of two thousand kilometers, so it should take at most about five days if nothing goes wrong."

Wang Ye thought it through clearly; he wasn’t short on money or time now. The reason for traveling to different cities was to explore the limits of human evolution while experiencing the scenery everywhere.

And trekking can perfectly satisfy these two requirements.

The crowded running tracks in the city aren’t conducive to late-stage endurance training.

In contrast, the highways in the countryside could provide a freer training environment for him.

Wang Ye excitedly began checking Douyin for cross-province trekking videos to plan his trekking journey.

He didn’t have relevant experience, so he needed to learn from the experiences of predecessors online.

Such as essential supplies needed for trekking and how to find accommodation at night.

Wang Ye searched and noted down information.

After about an hour,

he began feeling sleepy and fell asleep.

The next day

May 20th

5:52

Monday.

Upon waking up, Wang Ye freshened up while checking the back-end data of the vlog he posted the day before yesterday on Douyin.

The likes had risen to 2 million, but the growth rate had started to slow down.

It’s estimated to reach about 2.3 million by the end.

Wang Ye briefly scrolled through the video comments section.

He suddenly noticed the most repeated and liked comment section.

It was a request for Wang Ye to challenge "Happy Forward Rush."

"Happy Forward Rush?"

Seeing these familiar words, a slight raise appeared on Wang Ye’s brow.
