Back at the Burj Al Arab Hotel in the evening, Jiang Sheng restrained the urge to go to the Persian Gulf to practice "Swimming Technique", so he boxed and stood in the room.

At half past four in the morning the next day, Jiang Sheng and Jiang Yuanzhou took a hotel car to the competition site in the center of Dubai.

The scene was crowded with people, and there was an endless stream.

It's the coldest time of the day in Dubai, it's just 14 degrees in the morning, and many people are reaching out to drape themselves in thermal blankets.

Jiang Sheng saw a lot of familiar faces in the crowd, all of which he had seen in the Zhonghai International Marathon last time, such as the yellow-skinned Jia Renjia, Yang Shaohui, and Li Bo, and the others were Kenya's Filimon Kiptu, Tanzania's Alphonse Felix, and Ethiopia's runners.

These black people basically look similar, and they may not be recognized by ordinary people, and they don't know what's going on here in Dubai, the city center is pitch black, and there are no square lights, searchlights, etc.

Just relying on the fill lights of some cameras to illuminate the scene is really outrageous.

Thankfully, his eyesight was good enough.

Jiang Sheng had praised Dubai's arrogance before, but after a little in-depth understanding, he found that the infrastructure in many places is really not at the same level as the super first-tier cities in China.

The surface of the donkey dung and eggs is shiny, and the money is all spent on the knife handle.

However, this is also in line with the personality of a big dog in the Middle East.

Six o'clock.

When everyone was in place, there was no starting gun, and the host in the loudspeaker in front, an official from Dubai, shouted with a loudspeaker and started, and then the crowd ran forward in a huge way.

Jiang Sheng followed the Kenyan running group in the first echelon and slowly ran forward.

He is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to exert his strength when he is halfway through the journey.

Anyway, the $500,000 must be his, and absolutely no one will rob it.

On both sides of the road were crowds of cheering, shouting and cheering, in addition to the typical Middle Eastern faces, there were also many East Asian faces, many of them speaking Mandarin, but compared to Zhonghai, it was much more sparse.

Especially out of the city center, run along the riverside boulevard towards the southwest direction of Palm Island.

The sky is getting brighter, and the view of Dubai comes into view.

Jiang Sheng was running and enjoying the scenery along the way, when a young Asian man in his twenties on the side of the road waved at him and shouted in broken Chinese: "Come on, Jiang Sheng......"

Then the young man ran as hard as he could, and handed it to him, "Here!" ”

Jiang Sheng originally smiled back at the other party, but when he saw the energy gel that the other party took out, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this energy gel.

He quietly ran over to take the energy gel, but instead of eating it, he looked at the live broadcast car in front of him and put the energy gel in his pocket.

The live broadcast car not only recorded his every move, but also recorded the appearance of the young man who handed him the energy gel just now.

After the game is over, he will ask for the first time to test the energy gel, no problem is the best, if there is a problem, then this guy will definitely not be able to run away.

He knew very well in his heart that his appearance blocked the financial path of many people, so there must be many people who wanted to kill him.

So he had to be more cautious.

Along the way, he spotted at least four or five more suspicious people.

He handed him water, food, and energy gels, but he didn't take the water or food, only two tubes of energy gels he took and put them in his pocket.

He wondered, who was trying to plot against him?

Minutes and seconds passed.

An hour and a half later, 27.5 kilometers had been run, and the remaining distance was less than 14 kilometers.

Originally, Jiang Sheng had been hanging unhurriedly behind the Kenyan player, but at this time he finally began to exert his strength.

He continued to pick up speed, quickly overtaking the black runners who had been running ahead of him.

The three championship favorites, the champion of the 2023 Dubai International Marathon, Jitum from Kenya, the runner-up of Marseilla from China, also from Kenya, and Alphonse Felix from Tanzania were left behind by Jiang Sen.

And on the first day, the seven or eight black players in the echelon were all stunned after seeing Jiang Sheng's amazing explosiveness.

They are big Africans who only have the talent of sports, and they didn't expect that their strongest ability would be crushed by Asians.

Especially the ease that Jiang Sheng showed, which made them feel a sense of despair in their hearts.

And this sense of desperation has been brought to Asian players before.

Unexpectedly, now they have tasted this feeling in person, and it is extremely uncomfortable.

Filimon Kiptu, who lost to Jiang Sheng's hand for the second time, was unable to calm down in his heart, causing even his breathing to begin to be disordered, and then he fell out of the first echelon.

But no one cared about him anymore.

Everyone's eyes were on Jiang Sheng, who was far ahead.

5 km.

4 km.

3 km.

……

When Jiang Sheng crossed the finish line, the time stopped at 1 hour, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.

Jiang Sheng not only broke the record of 2 hours 03 minutes and 34 seconds set by Ethiopian runners in the 2019 Dubai Marathon, but also broke the world record of 1 minute and 9 seconds set by Kenyan long-distance runner Kipchoge in the 2022 Berlin Marathon.

Witnessing the birth of the world record, and being Asian, made countless staff members who are also Asians at the scene excited and cheered.

People are like this, from a small village to a continent, they can resonate and be proud.

If aliens are discovered in the future, they may be proud of being earthlings.

"It's amazing!"

"You're the best."

"Can I take a picture with you......"

The staff here in Dubai are the same as those on the Zhonghai side, chattering around one after another.

The news of the player's breaking of the world record quickly spread throughout Dubai, including the prince and chief, and the ambassador of China also received the news.

There were also two reporters from Huaguo Sports Network at the scene, and the two reporters were also very surprised to see that Jiang Sheng actually won the championship, and then both of them rushed over excitedly and wanted to interview Jiang Sheng.

As a result, because they reacted too late, they couldn't squeeze in.

Outside the fence, Lei Qingfu, Wu Yi, and Feng Zixin were all desperately calling and shouting.

"Jiang Sheng———— good job!"

"Jiang Sheng————— awesome!"

Although they knew that Jiang Sheng had just won the championship in the Zhonghai International Marathon, and he must have the strength, they still subconsciously thought that it was almost impossible for Jiang Sheng to win the championship.

The talent of Africans in long-distance running is ingrained in them, they have already won the championship once from those African runners, and there will be no second time!

But that's how outrageous it is.

Just when they were mentally prepared that Jiang Sheng would not get any good rankings, Jiang Sheng actually won the championship directly, and also broke the world record, which is really amazing.

They immediately sent the news back to China, posted it in the circle of friends, classmates, and called familiar friends.

It is 4 hours faster than Dubai in China, and it is already 12 noon, and it is time for lunch, and many people happen to be swiping their mobile phones.

"Who is Jiang Sheng, I don't have any impression...... Oh oh oh, I remember, who I heard last year that he worked at China Shipping, how did he go to Dubai to participate in a marathon? ”

"Are you mistaken, is this Jiang Sheng? Who are you fooling, it's not a person at all, okay? ”

"Hahahaha...... Jiang Sheng is the same age as me, he went to run a marathon and won the championship? He doesn't want to win the championship, he now has the ability to run a full marathon, and I, Chen Haibin, chopped off the chicken neck on the spot. ”

"Ouch Leizi, don't talk about Jiang Sheng, you just say that you are traveling in Dubai."

"Hahaha, I saw your circle of friends yesterday, and I actually went to the Burj Al Arab Hotel for a big meal and lived in a luxury suite, I was so envious."

The group of students at the University of Suzhou Province, which had been silent for many days, suddenly became lively.

However, everyone's topic is not Jiang Sheng at all, and they can't even remember who Jiang Sheng is.

Moreover, marathon is originally a sport for a small number of people, and there is very little attention to marathon in China.

Jiang Sheng's college classmates don't care, but some do.

In the domestic track and field circle, especially the national track and field team and the Zhonghai Athletics Center, hundreds of pairs of eyes are watching the live video.

When Jiang Sheng crossed the finish line first and broke the world record, the video studios in Kyoto and Zhonghai immediately cheered.

"Ah...... Win! ”

"It's amazing."

", I actually ran into 2 hours, once again breaking the limit of human beings."

"This is definitely a track and field milestone!"

“……”

Wei Hua, deputy director of the Athletics Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of China, who was standing behind the crowd, applauded gently.

Jiang Sheng's physical fitness really broke his perception of the limits of human beings, running a marathon can run for 2 hours, and a 100-meter dash can also run for more than 8 seconds, which is simply not human.

And he heard that Jiang Sheng's strength is also very terrifying, and it is unbelievable that it is possible to participate in the weightlifting trials.

Yu Zhiyong, deputy director of Zhonghai Athletics Center, called director Tang Jianchao as soon as possible to report the good news.

"Little Ginger is really amazing!"

Tang Jianchao sighed with emotion.

"I heard that he knew qigong, originally I thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that maybe it's true!"

Yu Zhiyong instinctively rejected this kind of "qigong theory" in his heart, and he always thought that Jiang Sheng was just talented.

But then again, how can anyone be mediocre until they are 39 years old, and then suddenly talented?

Even if you suddenly open your mind, it's a skyrocketing IQ, what the hell is a skyrocketing physique?

Tang Jianchao said a few words to himself, and immediately said after coming back to his senses: "I think our care for Xiao Jiang is far from enough, you should immediately hold a meeting to study it, and assign Xiao Jiang a private team as soon as possible to be responsible for his food, clothing, housing and transportation!" ”
