When you do everything to the extreme

Amidst the shouts and shocked gazes of everyone, Yang Xiaoyu sprinted towards the finish line and saw Wang Xiao waiting for her there.

She no longer saw anyone else; her eyes were only on Wang Xiao. With a smile on her face, she unleashed all the energy and strength she had deliberately accumulated, crossed the finish line, and rushed into Wang Xiao's arms, which were outstretched. She excitedly hugged Wang Xiao's waist tightly.

Wang Xiao also took the opportunity to hug Yang Xiaoyu.

Cheers erupted from all around!

Many supporters from China were the most excited.

"Master's wife... Master..."

"Go, Master's wife! Go, Master!"

"Master's wife... Master..."

"Master's wife..."

"Master's wife is invincible..."

The repeated calls of "Master's wife" made Yang Xiaoyu's face even rosier. She was slightly out of breath, but she quickly controlled her breathing with her powerful internal energy and recovered her strength.

Especially now that she's being held by Wang Xiao, her heartbeat is almost perfectly synchronized with his, making her entire body's energy circulate extremely efficiently, almost identical to Wang Xiao's blood and energy circulation efficiency.

Dong Yuexi excitedly chimed in from the side, "Congratulations... Xiaoyu, you've won again..."

Envy flashed in Dong Yuexi's eyes.

She knew that after winning the championship this time, Yang Xiaoyu's strength would increase even more rapidly, further widening the gap between her and Yang Xiaoyu.

However, Yang Xiaoyu's martial arts talent is not as good as Dong Yuexi's. Dong Yuexi has stepped into the threshold of top genius, while Yang Xiaoyu can only be considered an average martial arts genius.

When they first met in the competition, Yang Xiaoyu was not as good as Dong Yuexi, but with Wang Xiao's help, she won the championship. From then on, she was unstoppable and her strength began to break through like a rocket, almost on par with Wang Xiao.

Dong Yuexi made a decision in her heart that after returning to Shanghai this time, she would diligently practice and perfect her Tiger Form Fist, and then she would start participating in competitions again to strive for the championship.

Nowadays, if you don't have a perfectly mastered martial art, you'd be embarrassed to even think about competing for the championship.

Tiger-style boxing is a form-based boxing style that focuses on cultivating qi, blood, muscles, and bones. Therefore, a fully realized Tiger-style boxing style may not be as good as other internal martial arts styles in actual combat, but in terms of pure qi, blood, and physical strength, it surpasses other general internal martial arts styles by a level.

Therefore, if one masters the Tiger Form Fist, they will almost always have a chance to win the championship in women's competitions.

As long as you don't encounter a prodigy like Yang Xiaoyu, there won't be any problems.

Zhang Jun, Sun Hong, and the others gathered around to congratulate Yang Xiaoyu.

The host at the scene exclaimed with delight, "Congratulations to Yang Xiaoyu from Shanghai, China, for crossing the finish line and winning the women's marathon! Her final time was one hour and ten minutes! Yes, you read that right, her full marathon time was one hour and ten minutes. Just like her fiancé Wang Xiao, she ran a half marathon in a full marathon, which is truly amazing."

"It significantly improved the world record by one level..."

"You know, the official women's world record for the full marathon is still around two hours and ten minutes! If we use this current world record, Yang Xiaoyu's latest time is a full hour better than the official world record... Such a world record, apart from Yang Xiaoyu herself, is unlikely to be broken by anyone else..."

"so amazing!"

The host's words shocked and excited many people in the sports world and media present.

Many people looked at Wang Xiao and Yang Xiaoyu with obvious hostility.

It feels like the two of them have ruined the ecosystem of marathon racing, and are even gradually ruining the ecosystem of all sports in the world.

The sports industry, which has developed for over a century, is about to be reshuffled. Many people will lose their jobs as a result, but it will also bring new opportunities to many others.

Zhao Han was the second to cross the finish line. The announcer was excitedly announcing her result: "Congratulations to the second runner, Zhao Han, a Chinese runner from Southeast Asia, whose final time is one hour, ten minutes, and forty seconds, less than a minute behind Yang Xiaoyu..."

"The third competitor is Zhu Yun from North America. She is not of Chinese descent, but she is clearly a martial artist. Her final time is one hour and eleven minutes. The fourth competitor is also from North America, Lily Collins, whose final time is one hour, eleven minutes, and five seconds..."

"There are still a dozen or so other players who are not far behind, and they should all finish their matches within ten minutes..."

"But... those familiar runners from the past are still more than ten kilometers behind..."

"The difference is too big, I don't even know how to put it..."

……

The hosts' tones were complex, having witnessed the end of an era and the rise of a new one.

Zhao Han, Zhu Yun, and Lily Collins looked at each other at the finish line. Their hostility towards each other wasn't very strong, since they were all losers. Their eyes were all on Wang Xiao, Yang Xiaoyu, Dong Yuexi, and the others who were about to leave.

"Wang Xiao..."

Zhao Han quickly walked up and called out to Wang Xiao's retreating figure.

Wang Xiao turned to look at Zhao Han, but didn't say anything; her eyes were questioning.

Zhao Han said directly, "My brother will participate in your next competition in Europe and the Middle East!"

Wang Xiao said calmly, "Whether he participates or not is his business, it has nothing to do with me!"

After saying that, Wang Xiao left directly, showing no interest in having any further contact with Zhao Han or the Zhao family.

He knew that the Zhao family had a history of hundreds or even thousands of years and a profound foundation. They were once part of the royal family and must have a large collection of martial arts techniques. However, he didn't have time to digest the martial arts techniques he had collected at home, so he didn't think about those anymore.

Once he has mastered all the martial arts he knows to perfection or even beyond, and needs to find new martial arts to accumulate foundation for a breakthrough in martial arts, he can then think of other ways, such as going to Taoist holy sites like Longhu Mountain, Wudang Mountain, and Heming Mountain.

Zhao Han didn't say anything more, turned around and nodded to Zhao Jun, and the two prepared to leave.

Zhu Yun and Lily Collins breathed a slight sigh of relief, their eyes filled with disapproval, and turned to leave. However, when they saw a van not far away, their expressions changed slightly, and they walked over together.

The van door opened, revealing Allen, Ye Han, Selena, and a tall white man inside.

Allen looked at Zhu Yun and the other person who were walking over and said calmly, "I didn't make a move! Ye Han and Selena made a move together, but they couldn't stop Wang Xiao."

Zhu Yun asked curiously, "Why didn't you make a move?"

Allen truthfully stated, "Wang Xiao plans to publicly reveal some of the martial arts techniques he has collected, including some I want, so he cannot die for the time being."

Zhu Yun and Collins were silent for a moment, then got into the car.

The white man said seriously, "If we don't work together to kill him this time, we might not be able to kill him even if we work together in the future."

The white man was Zhu Yun's older brother. Although he was white, he spoke fluent Mandarin and had a Chinese name, Zhu Xiong.

Allen stared ahead, watching Wang Xiao, Yang Xiaoyu, Dong Yuexi, and the others board the car, and said calmly, "If we can't kill him ourselves, we'll use other forces. As long as he leaves the country, I'll have a way to take him down. Especially since he'll be going to the Middle East and Africa later, killing him will be too easy!"

The Middle East and Africa are CIA territory; they can deploy missiles to bombard the region at any time!

If he, Ye Han, Selena, and Zhu Xiong cannot kill Wang Xiao with their own martial arts skills, then he will summon the Heavenly Fire!
Although……

His passion for martial arts is extremely strong.

However, he also knew that times had changed.

Even the most skilled martial arts master would be reduced to ashes under the destructive power of artillery and missiles. This is also why he works for the CIA—to avoid being killed by the CIA using modern weapons, while simultaneously gaining control of powerful modern weaponry himself!
This is the core reason why he was able to suppress numerous overseas martial arts forces on his own.

Although he is very strong, there are many martial arts masters overseas who are equal to him or even stronger than him.

but……

Everyone was wary of the CIA behind him, fearing that killing Allen would provoke a reaction from the CIA and North American authorities, and that everyone would be in trouble.

Therefore, many overseas martial arts forces made concessions to Allen, and Allen rose to power based on these achievements, gaining even greater strength and becoming the underground emperor of overseas in the eyes of many. A tacit balance was formed between the two sides.

Zhu Yun said with some disbelief, "Would he really reveal those precious martial arts techniques? There are so many martial arts traditions in China and overseas, and everyone guards their martial arts heritage very closely."

Zhu Xiong was also somewhat skeptical.

Allen said calmly, "I believe him. He's not a liar!"

Although, Allen himself was somewhat skeptical.

However, he could only trust Wang Xiao.

because……

He longed for Wang Xiao to bring him more hope in martial arts.

He couldn't possibly collect profound Buddhist and Taoist martial arts techniques on his own.

Although he was incredibly powerful, having mastered the three major martial arts to perfection and several internal energy techniques to perfection, he would definitely have been a contender for the title of the world's number one in the Republic of China era. Even if Sun Lutang were alive, he might not have been his match.

but……

He knew that the true masters of China were hidden in the Buddhist and Taoist sects, and they never showed themselves.

He wanted to go and collect Buddhist and Taoist martial arts techniques, but that would be a certain death sentence!

Watching him leave, Allen said calmly, "Let's go, we're going back to North America too. I need to meet a few people, and then we'll head to Europe!"

Zhu Xiong nodded and drove away.

……

Wang Xiao, Yang Xiaoyu, Dong Yuexi, and the others left by car for the hotel.

Yang Xiaoyu lay on the chair with her eyes closed, resting without moving. Her aura circulated rapidly, making her appear somewhat mysterious.

Wang Xiao and Dong Yuexi gently massaged Yang Xiaoyu to loosen her muscles and tendons; the previous masseuse had lost her job.

Zhang Jun had already booked their plane tickets. They went back to the hotel to pack their things and headed straight to the airport to return to Shanghai. They wouldn't stay in South Korea any longer.

This is a tiny place, there's nothing to linger in.

After packing their things, they rushed to the airport. The plane was about to take off, and the group quickly boarded.

Yang Xiaoyu relaxed slightly, looked at Wang Xiao, and said happily, "I feel like I've gained something!"

Wang Xiao congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations! Your talent ceiling may have increased again!"

Yang Xiaoyu nodded, very happy.

Dong Yuexi showed a hint of envy and said, "Congratulations, Xiaoyu!"

Yang Xiaoyu grabbed Dong Yuexi's hand and laughed, "You can win the championship next time you participate in the competition."

Dong Yuexi nodded: "I will!"

Wang Xiao smiled faintly, feeling quite happy inside; the trip hadn't been in vain.

The plane landed safely in Shanghai.

Wang Xiao and Zhang Jun said goodbye and parted ways here.

Back to the martial arts school!

Wang Xiao, Yang Xiaoyu, and Dong Yuexi didn't waste any time and immediately began cultivating.

All three of them are now true martial arts fanatics!

With less than a month until his next trip to Europe for the competition, Wang Xiao needs to cultivate the Golden Bell Cover, Vajra Indestructible, and Tendon-Changing and Marrow-Washing techniques to perfection within this month!
Once he has mastered these four martial arts techniques, Wang Xiao believes that he will be able to escape unscathed if he encounters another attack from Allen, Ye Han, Selena, and the others.

If he could raise the Six Harmony Cannon Force to a higher level and reach the perfect state, then it wouldn't be impossible for him to kill all of the opponents.

but!

Early the next morning.

Wang Xiao, Yang Xiaoyu, Dong Yuexi and the others had just gotten up to cultivate when they heard a commotion outside.

"Master Wang, someone has knelt down to become my apprentice, and she's a stunning beauty."

"Master Wang...a stunningly beautiful South Korean woman has come to become my apprentice..."

"Master Wang..."

“Master Wang…they’ve been kneeling since yesterday…”

……

Wang Xiao's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, and his senses were naturally extremely sharp. Hearing the sounds outside, he frowned slightly and asked Dong Yuexi to open the door and take a look.

Dong Yuexi quickly ran over, opened the door, and saw Li Minzhu kneeling at the entrance. She rushed back to Wang Xiao and said, "Master, it's that Li Minzhu from South Korea! She's kneeling outside, wanting to become your disciple..."

Wang Xiao said coldly, "Make her leave! If I could accept anyone as a disciple just by kneeling outside, my martial arts school wouldn't be able to hold them all!"

Wang Xiao naturally wouldn't accept Li Minzhu so easily.

Otherwise, if everyone else follows suit, will he accept it all?
If you don't accept it, then why have Li Minzhu as your subordinate?

and so!
Wang Xiao ignored Li Minzhu and let Yang Xiaoyu and Dong Yuexi continue practicing their boxing.

Li Minzhu and the many onlookers outside were slightly disappointed to see Dong Yuexi glance at them and then leave, closing the door tightly and not coming out again.

Many people hope that Wang Xiao can accept Li Minzhu as his girlfriend, not out of pity or sympathy for Li Minzhu, but because they feel that if Wang Xiao can accept Li Minzhu, then he can also accept other people.

Then they really will follow suit and kneel at the door together.

But Wang Xiao didn't pay much attention to it at all, and many people who wanted to become his disciples and learn martial arts looked regretful.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Li Minzhu's eyes, but she didn't get up. Instead, she remained kneeling at the doorway, ignoring the other onlookers. (End of Chapter)
