Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 134: Meditating Beneath the Moon

As Wang Ye rapidly moved forward on the forest vines,

he roughly estimated his current speed.

Approximately around 60 km/h.

That’s about the speed limit on urban roads. Cars exceeding this speed in urban areas are speeding and will incur penalties.

You could say that Wang Ye’s physical body now rivals technology.

The key point is that this mode of travel consumes very little of his stamina.

Because the [Void Master] trait also enhanced Wang Ye’s stamina.

Wang Ye swung for half an hour without showing any significant fatigue.

Instead, he moved faster and more smoothly with each swing.

Like the protagonist in the movie Tarzan of the Apes.

The entire mountain range seemed to become His personal training ground. Every time he grasped the vine and swung, the skill levels of [Climbing] and [Light Body Technique] increased accordingly.

Until the vines in the forest became increasingly sparse, unable to support him swinging any further.

Wang Ye had no choice but to switch to Walking.

But fortunately, as the vines became sparse, the mountain path became easier to walk.

Wang Ye rapidly moved through the mountains, checking his compass while maintaining a reserved speed.

Soon.

The sky revealed the evening glow, signaling it was around seven in the evening.

Summer evenings arrive slowly, but in the wild mountains, without the city’s bustling lights, the moment the Sun sets, it turns dark and somber.

Wang Ye took advantage of the last trace of twilight, painstakingly finding the nearest lake.

The ground here was covered with dry leaves, and it was easy to step into deep mud.

He quickly took out a camping lamp and set up a tent by the lakeside.

Once the light came on, Wang Ye noticed the place was teeming with poisonous insects.

The rock walls and tree branches were also covered with chaotic spider webs and colorful large spiders.

The sight made one feel uneasy.

Fortunately, Wang Ye’s skin had undergone evolution, and he had learned the Golden Bell Shield technique.

The resilience of his skin was already comparable to iron bark.

Ordinary poisonous insects and spiders could not even break his skin, let alone inject venom.

Wang Ye walked to the lake shore, squatted down, and inserted his index finger into the lake water, sensing its vibrations.

"Not bad, there are quite a few fish in this lake."

He immediately took off his clothes and, with a box of nails, walked into the lake.

The lake was shallow, only about three meters deep.

Wang Ye spent twenty minutes catching 15 fish, weighing about eighteen pounds in total.

Most of these fish were carp and crucian carp, the most common freshwater fish in Southern China. After catching these fish for so many days, Wang Ye was already sick of their taste, which was earthy and had many small bones, with hardly any meat.

But there was no choice; there were fewer and fewer wild beasts in the mountains, and at most he could occasionally encounter a wild boar with piglets foraging or a venomous snake slithering through the bushes, and the chances were very slim. The best way to supplement protein and energy on this journey was to fish in the natural water bodies along the way.

Wang Ye took out a small iron pot and stove from his bag.

Poured some oil into the pot and started frying the fish.

In the quiet forest, the sizzling sound of the oil pot was particularly piercing.

Occasionally, some carrion-eating flies wanted to land on the fish, but Wang Ye quickly swatted them away.

With Wang Ye’s dynamic vision, he could clearly capture the flight paths of flies and dragonflies, even slowing down their movements infinitely.

Thus, he could always swat or repel them just as they were about to land.

Wang Ye continued tossing and seasoning the pot, eating while frying. Occasionally, he took out a compressed biscuit from his bag to eat as carbohydrates, hastily resolving his dinner in this manner.

After the meal.

Wang Ye washed the cooking utensils by the lake.

And noticed that tonight’s moon seemed exceptionally round.

The cold white moonlight shone on the shimmering lake, reflecting a fragmented moon.

He looked up at the disk-like moon.

Suddenly realizing today was the fifteenth.

The day of the month when the moon is the roundest.

Wang Ye didn’t think much of it, washed the cooking utensils clean, and returned to his tent, organizing his backpack.

During the journey over the past two days, his backpack’s weight had decreased from 80 pounds to 50 pounds, and then from 50 kilograms to 35 kilograms. The food and water in the bag were almost entirely consumed. Wang Ye unzipped it and rummaged through it, only finding 8 pieces of compressed biscuits and 15 packs of Energy Gel, which, combined with the fish from the lake, were enough to support him only for breakfast and lunch the next day.

"Looks like I’ll need to find a county town to replenish food tomorrow," Wang Ye muttered to himself.

With his ability to walk 200 kilometers a day, finding the nearest county town within tomorrow shouldn’t be a problem.

The key issue was his massive energy consumption during exercise, leading to an extremely large food intake.

He had brought dozens of pounds of high-calorie-density food, thinking it would last him at least four or five days, but unexpectedly, it was gone in just two days.

He had caught more than 50 pounds of fish along the way.

This meant he might have consumed nearly 100 pounds of food in the past two days.

"No wonder I always need to relieve myself so much..."

Wang Ye shook his head helplessly.

As he continues to evolve and upgrade,

his food intake is also increasing exponentially.

At this rate, conventional human food will eventually become utterly meaningless to him.

Wang Ye shook his head and sighed, not wanting to think further.

With his current knowledge base, pondering over these things would not yield useful results.

He planned to train in Tai Chi a bit more before retiring to his tent to rest.

Wang Ye arrived beside the moon shimmering on the lake, practicing Tai Chi while gazing at the heavens and earth.

Moonlight fell on his shoulders, illuminating his pupils.

Turning his deep blue pupils as clear as a gemstone.

The dense "Spiritual Qi" in the mountains was summoned by him, surging into his body like a vortex.

This so-called Spiritual Qi was actually a type of high-concentration positive magnetic field. Long-term immersion in such Qi is highly beneficial to the human body. In Tai Chi theory, places "close to the mountains and water" have the best "Qi Sensitivity," making training yield twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, many people who practice Tai Chi over the years often train in the mountains.

At that moment.

A light suddenly appeared in Wang Ye’s heart.

He seemed to have realized something in an instant.

At the same time, the skill level of Tai Chi on his interface suddenly soared a large margin.

[Tai Chi LV5 (98.1%)]
