Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 196 - 194: Obtaining Certificates and Preparing to Head for Mount Everest

The face shield of Wang Ye was already buzzing with the strain. The wingsuit's inflation bag on his body began to shake violently, clearly struggling to withstand the impact of such high-speed airflow.

But Wang Ye paid no heed to the anomalies of his equipment, simply immersing himself in the experience of "flying" for the first time.

This free flight was entirely different from the feelings of parachute or wingsuit flights on a prescribed route by the coach. Only when flying freely according to one's own will could one truly perceive the transformative sensation of rebirth.

Flying has been one of humanity's dreams since ancient times.

Countless ancients expended their life energies for this goal, even sacrificing themselves during personal experiments.

According to "Han Shu: Wang Mang's Biography," at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang recruited talents from all over to fight the Xiongnu, holding a flying exhibition in Chang'an that attracted a "flying" talent. This person "used large bird feathers as wings, had feathers on his head and body, connected them with hinges, flew hundreds of steps, and then fell."

In the Ming Dynasty, there was also an ancient flying inventor named Wan Hu who used gunpowder technology to create an ancient "spaceship," mainly using a chair as the body, with 47 "flying dragon" rockets tied behind it, using the propelling force of these "flying dragon" rockets to fly into the sky. He prepared two large kites to land smoothly. Unfortunately, on the test flight day, Wan Hu and his "spaceship" crashed on Wanjia Mountain, dying on the spot.

Besides them, countless explorers perished in the high skies they dreamed of.

Some died during flight; others were killed in landing.

Not until modern times did humanity gradually develop airplanes and rockets capable of carrying humans into the sky. However, these seemingly high-tech planes and rockets also have numerous stringent limitations. Any slight mishandling by the pilot can lead to crashes and fatalities.

Yet today.

Relying on his own body, Wang Ye forcefully flew from an altitude of 100 meters to over 1000 meters!

And he could freely control his direction and altitude in the high sky.

Just like a real eagle or hawk.

Those who haven't personally experienced this unspeakable sense of freedom can never imagine it.

About three hours later, Wang Ye gradually descended beside the cliff, tidying up his parachute lines and wingsuit, and stuffed them into his backpack, then returned to the base.

In the following days.

Wang Ye would train in actual high-altitude wingsuit flights with Lü Jinyi almost every day.

Although this planned training was of little use to him.

To obtain the certificate, he had to take the evaluations according to the coach's arrangements.

Finally.

On July 16th, Wang Ye obtained both the parachuting certificate and the lowest level wingsuit flight certificate.

Obtaining these certificates meant he was qualified to fly independently in authorized areas. Just like obtaining a driver's license, one can only legally drive on the road after acquiring it.

In the same way, only with these internationally recognized certificates could Wang Ye attempt a targeted jump at Mount Everest. Although Wang Ye's skills could easily earn him the highest-level certificates, those highest-level evaluations require over 500 jumps of experience, and Wang Ye didn't have the leisure time for that.

After obtaining his certificates, Li Weimin, general manager of Anta, promptly rushed to the base to congratulate Wang Ye.

"Amazing..." Li Weimin, as if touching a treasure, stroked the two brand new certificates in his hand, his eyes showing excitement, "To be honest, I never imagined two weeks ago that you would really obtain these two extreme sports professional certificates, but you have created a miracle for me."

"With the certificates, it's time to challenge the second of Ozaki's Eight at Everest." Wang Ye plopped down on the sofa, rubbing the sides of his nose as he asked Li Weimin, "How is the itinerary arranged next?"

"Don't worry, I have arranged everything. Just follow me when the time comes. I will personally go to Nepal and bring a filming team to shoot videos for you." Li Weimin patted his chest and said, "However, there are still two weeks before the flight to Nepal. During this time, you can make your preparations; you can shoot a few promotional videos at the Anta Headquarters to aid in our publicity efforts. Or, you might choose to go home and see your parents, as you wish, no pressure."

"Thank you." Wang Ye nodded and said, "I still want to go home and accompany my parents."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to buy your plane ticket right away. Is the one this afternoon okay for you?" Li Weimin inquired.

"No problem." Wang Ye nodded.

"Great." Li Weimin quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed his subordinate's number.

Wang Ye stood up and started packing up his things again.

He wasn't worried that the film crew Li Weimin brought would be a burden.

In the end, the difficulty of climbing Mount Everest isn't even ranked among the top ten in the world.

It is said that the world's most challenging peak is Kawagebo Peak, the highest peak in Yunnan Province. Several climbing teams from the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States have attempted to summit the mountain, but all have failed, with 17 Chinese and Japanese climbers losing their lives in an avalanche during ascent. It is a peak that humans have yet to conquer, and it is said that if humans were to summit Kawagebo Peak, the Divine would depart from them. The second is Gongga, with its main peak having four knife-edge ridgelines with cliff faces steeper than 80 degrees, and vertical drops exceeding 1500 meters, resulting in a death rate exceeding 60%.

Compared to these two nearly insanely challenging peaks.

Mount Everest is almost just high in altitude and nothing more.

Moreover, after numerous expeditions, even ordinary people can complete routes to the summit of Mount Everest. With a basic healthy body and some targeted training, one can easily reach the Everest summit.

Besides high altitude making breathing difficult, there are almost no particularly dangerous terrains along the way, so with enough oxygen bottles, the death rate is very low.

Of course, besides the gentle southern route, there is also the more steep northern route with countless vertical cliffs, glaciers, and surfaces that sometimes require climbing hundreds of meters with an ice axe. Even the world's most experienced climbers may meet their end here if caught in a severe snowstorm.

However, Wang Ye chose the southern route, which is the relatively gentle path.

Even with a film crew tagging along, there is no pressure.

Because his main purpose on this trip isn't to climb Mount Everest.

But to make a high-altitude jump from the top of Everest.

Its name is—

[Celestial Descent]

After packing his luggage.

Wang Ye took a 3-hour flight that afternoon to the airport in his hometown.

He then left the airport and took a taxi to his parents' old neighborhood.

Wang Ye paid the taxi fare and thanked the driver.

Then he followed his memory to his parents' apartment building.

Seeing the old buildings covered with ivy in the area.

Wang Ye suddenly felt a sense of returning to a world of long-lost memories.

In the past two months, he spent almost every day pushing the limits and breaking records, experiencing countless brilliant sights on his journeys, thinking he had nearly transcended to become a new, desireless human.

But he hadn't realized that he was still an ordinary person with a family.

He still had roots in this world.

Wang Ye went up the stairs, nervously knocking on the door of his home.

Knock, knock.
