Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 144: Is That an Immortal?

As Wang Ye was preparing to climb the mountain, he suddenly saw an unfinished race track.

The starting point of this track is Shangqing Ancient Town, ascending straight up along the sightseeing car route.

It should be a trail running type of trail.

Similar to the marathon route Wang Ye had participated in before.

According to the staff, Dragon Tiger Mountain recently held a mountain cross-country race.

Just on May 19th.

Which was six days ago.

Missing a mountain cross-country race, Wang Ye couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. However, the race track signs hadn’t been completely removed yet, so he could still simulate a mountain cross-country race along the track.

The tourist center of Dragon Tiger Mountain is relatively far from the scenic area.

Most tourists choose to take the sightseeing car to the scenic area.

Probably only a small number of hiking enthusiasts choose to hike from the tourist center to the scenic area.

Wang Ye naturally declined the staff’s invitation to take the sightseeing car.

He planned to hike along the sightseeing car route to the mountain viewing walkway.

Since there were almost no tourists in the Dragon Tiger Mountain scenic area at this time, he could confidently use Rapid Movement at full speed.

Wang Ye soon arrived at the viewing walkway.

The viewing walkway is a cement-cast walkway, suspended halfway up the mountain, offering a direct view of the lush mountain peaks of the half-side Danxia landscape of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Due to a heavy rain in the early morning, dense mist lingered between the peaks.

Combined with the picturesque scenery, it was like a fairyland.

Wang Ye operated the Innate Skill for a moment and felt a surge of mighty Innate Qi flooding into his body.

"No wonder all the world’s Taoist temples love to open at Dragon Tiger Mountain, this cultivation environment is incredible." Wang Ye couldn’t help praising it. He suspected that if he could practice the Innate Skill here every day, he might achieve enlightenment and ascend within a year.

While simultaneously operating the Innate Skill, Wang Ye continued rapidly climbing the mountain, not wasting any opportunity to cultivate.

He wanted to go to higher peaks and try cultivating on the summit to see if he could absorb more Innate Qi.

Wang Ye maintained the Breathing Technique of the Innate Skill, continuously bouncing and leaping up the walkway’s stone steps.

Since there were no tourists around, he could freely operate the Light Body Technique, continually bouncing, leaping, and gliding.

This unique way of half-jumping, half-running was something Wang Ye came up with after upgrading his Rushing Skill, a highly efficient way of moving.

Because only gliding could break through his current running speed limit.

With Wang Ye’s current Rushing Skill and physical fitness, sprinting 100 meters in five seconds was already his speed limit. If he continued to increase his speed, he would take off due to insufficient friction and grip.

This is one of the reasons why track athletes need to wear spiked shoes during training and competitions. The soles of spiked shoes have many spikes that embed into the track when running, increasing grip and friction, allowing runners to accumulate more reactive force when kicking off, making it easier to run faster or jump further.

Humans often need such external forces to increase foot friction when reaching high running speeds. Otherwise, they slip, or the body drifts.

But Wang Ye didn’t have spiked shoes, and even if he did, they would only be effective on the track, not practical elsewhere.

Therefore, Wang Ye estimated that the human 100-meter sprint limit should be around five seconds.

As for why cheetahs can run 100 meters in three seconds, it’s because cheetahs have four legs, and their center of gravity is very low, maximizing drag reduction and grip. That’s why their speed limit is so much higher than humans.

For humans with an upright structure, even honing skills and physique to the peak can only reach about five seconds.

So if Wang Ye wants to improve his speed limit.

He must take to the air.

Breaking barriers with aerial assistance.

With this highly efficient way of moving, Wang Ye quickly came to a higher mountain peak.

He pushed aside the one-meter-high tangled vegetation, looking at the approximately 50-meter-high low cliff in front of him.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of impulse to practice flying here.

He was now quite proficient in long-distance jumping and short-distance gliding skills.

If he participated in long jump or high jump competitions, winning the world championship would be more than enough.

But perhaps due to the inherent land creature’s resistance to high altitudes.

Wang Ye could only maintain short-distance gliding within a minute.

If the distance was too long, he would lose control of balance.

If he could use the threat of altitude to stimulate the secretion of adrenaline, his gliding techniques would definitely improve quickly.

After all, humans can always explode with incredible strength in desperate situations.

Wang Ye threw his climbing bag to the side.

He planned to jump directly from this low cliff.

After all, this height is only 50 meters, under the blessing of the Light Body Technique, topping at most a bit of skin loss and some bleeding.

If he adjusted his landing posture well, the probability of not getting any major injuries was high.

Besides, after jumping down, he could climb back up later.

There weren’t many tourists on Dragon Tiger Mountain at the moment, so he didn’t have to worry about his climbing bag being stolen.

Wang Ye took a deep breath.

Then suddenly leaped off the low cliff.

Whoosh!!!

The strong sound of breaking through the air swept past his ears.

The free-fall sensation of weightlessness instantly swept through his entire body, stimulating his central nervous system.

Wang Ye restrained the strong feeling of weightlessness, striving to adjust his posture, posing in a wingsuit flying position. This tingling sensation, instead, gave rise to an indescribable thrill in his heart.

Wang Ye continued gliding in circles, even spinning like a bullet in mid-air.

He looked quite carefree and enjoying himself.

The feeling of gliding in the air was somewhat similar to Swimming. But the difference was that the density of water was 500 times that of air, with buoyancy and resistance being incomparable.

Therefore, Wang Ye could only use a small part of Swimming skills to increase his buoyancy and speed, such as butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke techniques.

Wang Ye planned to find time to specialize in learning wingsuit flying and parachuting extreme sports. Perhaps it would help his flying techniques to some extent.

···························

···························

Just as Wang Ye was gliding in mid-air.

A photographer 1000 meters away, holding a camera on the walkway shooting Elephant Trunk Hill, suddenly froze.

He raised the camera to his eyes again, then put it down, staring intently in one direction.

As if confirming something.

Then, he patted the shoulder of the man beside him, saying:

"Bro, bro, stop filming, take a look over there."

"What?"

"Is that... is that an Immortal?"

The photographer pointed to the figure circling in the air not far away.
