There haven’t been any marathon events held domestically recently.
Wang Ye can fully take advantage of this gap by participating in various events such as parkour, hiking, cycling, and even cooking competitions.
Although Wang Ye doesn’t have much desire for spending anymore,
he still needs to support his parents and, if possible, try to earn some more prize money.
Once he has participated in enough events, won significant awards, and gained enough fame, he can start accepting endorsements from international sports brands and earn high endorsement fees. Of course, the premise is that he must appear on national audiences’ screens for a long time, meaning he needs to participate in events in various areas to gain enough fame, allowing him to have commercial value for brand endorsements.
Wang Ye opened his phone and searched for recent parkour events in Shenzhen.
[Wutong Mountain Speed Parkour Competition]
Wang Ye submitted the registration materials, the medical report, and the registration fee via a mini program, and signed a waiver clause before considering the registration successful.
After registering, Wang Ye searched for the parkour track on Wutong Mountain on Douyin.
This parkour track is extremely long and steep, requiring a rapid descent along a staircase with a gradient of about 50 degrees to reach the track’s end, making one’s knees feel weak just looking at it. It should be comparable to the parkour track at Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie.
After considering for a moment, Wang Ye planned to visit Wutong Mountain tomorrow and give the track a try.
It’s said that Wutong Mountain is called Shenzhen’s number one mountain, one of the highest peaks in all of Shenzhen and one of the famous mountains in the South Yue region, with more than thirty different climbing routes. It’s a must-visit nature spot when coming to Shenzhen.
Wang Ye had long planned to arrange a time to travel to Wutong Mountain.
After confirming tomorrow’s schedule, Wang Ye returned to the hotel.
As usual, he stood in front of the balcony and practiced Tai Chi and the Golden Bell Shield over ten times.
Then he went to the bathroom to brew up a medicinal bath, soaking for half an hour.
As Wang Ye enjoyed the 40-degree dark red medicinal liquid’s stimulation to his skin, fascia, and bones,
suddenly,
the panel in front of him slightly flickered.
[You took a medicinal bath, the damaged area was stimulated, and Golden Bell Shield skill level increased by 3.0%.]
[Your Golden Bell Shield skill level is now full, upgraded from lv2 to lv3.]
[Golden Bell Shield lv3 (0.5%)]
Wang Ye hadn’t quite reacted yet,
his bones suddenly emitted a crackling and twisting sound.
The tremors of his bones slightly agitated the dark red medicinal liquid in the bathtub, spreading out ripples.
In an instant, his body seemed to roar with muffled thunder, resembling the wrath of heaven or the roaring of tigers and lions.
"Resonance of muscles and bones?"
Wang Ye opened his eyes, his pupils had already contracted into vertical slits. He had heard while learning the Golden Bell Shield that when the muscles and bones can independently emit such twisting noises akin to thunder, it indicates his Qi Force has been refined to a very high realm. He can even easily control the movement, contraction, and expansion of bones and muscles to withstand attacks at any moment.
Wang Ye raised his hand, gently stroking the rough wall with his fingertips.
He discovered that his skin had undergone astounding transformations.
If his skin’s strength used to barely withstand relatively blunt objects, now it feels like wearing safety gloves; even rubbing forcefully against thorn-covered branches hardly causes bleeding.
Before Wang Ye could think much, he suddenly felt a strong hunger from his abdomen.
"It seems the enhancement consumed too much nutrition."
This kind of physical enhancement generally consumes a lot of energy.
It’s entirely comparable to the daily morning evolution consumption.
Wang Ye stood up from the bathtub, took down the neatly folded towel from the rack, dried his body, and changed into casual clothes. Then he immediately went downstairs to a restaurant for a three-hundred-yuan late-night snack.
Loitering around until midnight,
Wang Ye finally returned to the hotel and went to sleep.

The next day.
May 15th
5:25
After getting up, Wang Ye went to the bathroom to wash the dandruff off his head with clean water.
Then he sat at the desk and tested his Telekinesis.
Yesterday, even with full effort, he could only lift a pencil, move its position and direction. Today, he could already control the pencil to perform rather intricate operations, such as writing a line of crooked text on paper.
This change delighted Wang Ye immensely.
After testing the change in Telekinesis,
Wang Ye went out for breakfast and a 50km wellness run in the park.
When the time was nearly eight o’clock, Wang Ye was about to head to Wutong Mountain.
Suddenly, his phone notified him of a new WeChat message.
Wang Ye opened his phone and found the message was from Wang Lianzheng.
[Wang Lianzheng: Brother Ye, I’ve already contacted the person to help you apply for the National Elite Athlete Certificate, please fill in the personal information in this form.]
Ever since Wang Ye broke the world record.
Wang Lianzheng’s tone became much more polite. Clearly, it was Wang Ye who asked him for a favor, yet Wang Lianzheng’s tone was so obsequious.
This couldn’t help but make Wang Ye feel emotional. Once one’s strength is significant, there’s no need to deliberately make friends; people will come to fawn over them themselves.
Wang Ye filled out the form with his personal information and sent it to Wang Lianzheng.
After a few pleasantries, they ended this short conversation.
Wang Ye put his phone back into his pocket.
Until now, although he had broken the world record,
he can only apply for a national elite certificate.
To apply for the next level, the international elite certificate, he must participate in IAAF-certified Gold Label and Silver Label events.
Only through the strict verification of these events and achieving results above the international elite standard can he qualify to apply for the international elite athlete certificate in the marathon project.
This is the process and the iron rule.
Even though Wang Ye broke the world record, he must abide by this iron rule.
Wang Ye searched over the past few days, and the upcoming IAAF-certified Gold and Silver Label event in the country is the Lanzhou Marathon in June.
Just as Wang Ye’s trip to Shenzhen was coming to an end, he could participate in the Lanzhou Marathon and take the opportunity to enjoy the northwestern scenery in Lanzhou.
Wang Ye set aside his thoughts and bought some high-energy snacks and mineral water from a supermarket on the street, stuffing them into his carried satchel.
In no time, the satchel became bulging, weighing about five or six pounds when lifted.
