Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 279 - 235: Blasting the Taisho

Wang Ye’s current speed, to put it bluntly, is a miracle composed of extraordinary body density and skill. Only then can he barely match the speed of a cheetah.

If he wants to continue increasing his top speed,

he can only cause a qualitative change by quantitative change.

That means multiplying his power countless times,

and each step can push out tens of meters.

Only then is there a chance to break through this limitation.

The problem is, such power is enough to explode the surface of any material.

In other words, stepping on any material surface would cause slippage and power leakage.

So "friction" is also a problem that needs to be considered.

The cheetah’s solution is to embed its claws into the soil to increase grip.

Human "spike shoes" are made to mimic this physical structure of the cheetah.

Wearing spike shoes, the spikes on the shoe soles will embed into the synthetic track, providing effective grip. Although this raises the energy cost of lifting the foot, overall the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

But this structure, which only embeds a few centimeters, is clearly insufficient for Wang Ye to exert his full power.

In order to continue breaking through the speed limit, his feet might need to be entirely inserted into the ground.

Only this way can enough "grip" be provided.

But in theory, it’s extremely difficult to achieve such grip in reality.

Wanting to have the entire foot step into the ground over ten centimeters deep at the moment of landing each step,

The power needed might be more terrifying than the arm of an excavator.

In superhero movies, those "speedsters" overcome grip issues by relying on extraordinary energy to increase friction, such as "Divine Speed Power."

Thinking about this, Wang Ye suddenly recalled a kind of extraordinary energy he mastered—Primordial Qi.

However, Wang Ye’s current development degree of Primordial Qi is relatively low. He can only use it crudely, such as remote object control, body floating, and other skills.

Unsure if it’ll help him break through the speed limit in the future.

After finishing running training.

Wang Ye returned to the hotel and exchanged some opinions with Ah Gui and others about the "Awakening Earth" promo. After these days of effort, the production of the "Awakening Earth" promo was finally nearing its end.

But there are still many details to be refined, and Wang Ye’s opinion is needed.

After all, Wang Ye was the challenger and knew the situation best at that time.

After about two hours of exchange, Wang Ye returned to his room,

Continuing to practice Innate Skill to increase the Primordial Qi contained in his body.

No idea how long he’d practiced.

The phone placed beside him suddenly rang with a notification sound.

Wang Ye gradually came out of the training state and opened the phone.

Only to discover it was a message from Wang Lianzheng.

Wang Lianzheng is a marathon National Elite Level athlete.

Also a Douyin celebrity with millions of fans—Taisho Loves Running.

The first professional athlete Wang Ye met.

Wang Lianzheng helped him a lot, signed him up for competitions, helped him apply for athlete certificates.

He also exchanged running skills with him, benefiting him greatly in early stages.

After Wang Ye became famous, he deleted many irrelevant friends, but Wang Lianzheng was never deleted.

But ever since Wang Ye broke the world record,

Wang Lianzheng also hardly ever messaged him again.

Seeing Wang Lianzheng suddenly send a greeting message now,

Wang Ye couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

He heard that many domestic professional marathon athletes will also register for this Chicago Marathon, including Wang Lianzheng.

Actually, in previous years’ Chicago Marathon, many Chinese players also registered to participate. Because the Chicago Marathon date is usually arranged around the National Day holiday. Chinese players can participate in the competition while also bringing family abroad for vacation. So Chinese professional players who can compete usually register and draw lots.

Plus, this time, the world’s number one marathon runner, Wang Ye, will also come to participate, which further attracts those professional athletes.

Any athlete who has heard of Wang Ye’s deeds shouldn’t miss this chance to witness history.

Not only athletes from China, but athletes from other countries also want to see what this person who raised the record over twenty minutes looks like.

So this time, Chicago Marathon’s registration numbers are unprecedentedly high, among which Wang Ye played the main role. But unfortunately, the number of spots available for participation is predetermined, so most people will be screened out, and only a few can win the draw.

Just as Wang Ye was pondering, Wang Lianzheng sent the second and third messages.

[Wang Lianzheng: Brother Ye, I won the draw, competing with you now!]

[Wang Lianzheng: I arrived in Chicago this morning, can you come out to shoot a video now?]

Wang Ye had no reason to refuse this request and replied by tapping the screen:

[No problem, you decide the location, send it to me.]

··························

··························

Shortly after, Wang Lianzheng sent the location of a sports training center to him.

Wang Ye followed the location and walked to the training center.

At this moment, Wang Lianzheng was already warming up in the training center.

Wang Ye stepped forward to greet,

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they began discussing the script for the upcoming video shoot.

In the sports circle, it’s common for bloggers in different fields to guest star. It’s not just for sharing fans, but also for creating better program effects and achieving each other. For example, Li Weigang in bodybuilding, Zhang Yijie in parkour, all interact with bloggers from other fields to become popular.

But this situation where Wang Ye and Wang Lianzheng have a huge disparity in fan foundation is different.

It’s basically similar to Wang Ye unilaterally channeling traffic to Wang Lianzheng.

With Wang Ye’s current nearly hundred million fans, just appearing briefly in Wang Lianzheng’s video, saying a few words, interacting a bit, can bring quite a bit of extra traffic to the other’s account, providing quite a lot of revenue.

Considering Wang Lianzheng helped him quite a lot in the early stages, Wang Ye did not refuse this request.

After about ten minutes of discussion.

Wang Ye roughly understood Wang Lianzheng’s idea.

Wang Lianzheng plans to shoot a relatively routine joint training video.

Essentially, Wang Ye trains according to his usual intensity, and Wang Lianzheng tries to keep up with his rhythm during training.

And arranged for Wang Ye to fiercely "break away" from Wang Lianzheng mid-way to create program effects.

"Breaking away" means to leave someone behind without suspense.

This way, it highlights Wang Ye’s strength and adds fun to the video.

After all, Wang Lianzheng is already considered one of the top athletes domestically.

In his videos, he only makes others "break away," rarely having others do this to him.

The originally unruly Wang Lianzheng suddenly being effortlessly "broken away" by the world’s top marathon runner Wang Ye.

This contrast is what netizens love to see.

"This thing is said to be a script, but can’t be considered a pure script. After all, based on your strength, you can easily break away from me." Wang Lianzheng smiled sheepishly: "When shooting the video later, just perform with your full strength, and I’ll also exert my full effort to catch up with you."

"No problem, just arrange it," Wang Ye nodded.

Soon, Wang Lianzheng started the camera,

Beginning to shoot materials.

After quickly finishing some lines,

Wang Ye started warming up according to his rhythm.

At the beginning of the warm-up, the intensity was not high.

Just some regular squats, dynamic stretches, etc.

But after two minutes of warm-up exercises, Wang Ye began running on the synthetic track.

Since his top speed is around one minute pace, so he almost started at around two-minute pace.

With the elite carbon shoes provided by Anta, he continuously tapped the synthetic track at a high frequency of 240 steps/min, creating a "creaking" sound.

The stride frequency alone is already a height other athletes can’t attain.

Even for marathon runners who use stride frequency to their advantage,

The average stride frequency is only around 220 steps/min.

Although Wang Lianzheng’s usual training pace is three-minute pace,

by gritting his teeth, he can barely keep up with this speed.

It’s just that his complexion quickly turned a liver-colored hue,

His heart rate soared to about 180, the breathing rhythm got messy.
