Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 224 - 208: New Traits_2

Why is it that they struggle to move even a few steps,

while Wang Ye with a couple of casual kicks can leap dozens of meters?

Meanwhile, the comment section in the live stream has surged to a ridiculous level. Almost every blink brings about forty to fifty new comments.

[Awesome!]

[Too cool!]

[Do it again!]

[Single-handed push-ups on a glacier... I feel like he could even run a marathon on Mount Everest.]

[Count me in.]

[True marathon runners can complete 42 kilometers under any harsh conditions.[Thumbs up]]

[Hahaha [grin] wait 'til Qi Refining Brother evolves further, he might do a marathon on the surface of a fixed star.]

[Don't say it, he might really pull off such a stunt.]

[Judging by some calculations, he's probably at the Half-Step Foundation Establishment Realm now. A fixed star marathon would require at least the Nascent Soul Realm, that's gonna take a lifetime of waiting.]

[Hahaha, do you really think cultivators exist?]

[Speaking of, is Qi Refining Brother climbing Mount Everest because there's lots of Spiritual Qi on the snowy mountains?]

[To be honest, doing these antics on Everest, no one has done it before or after him [dog head].]

[The streamer knows how to play online.]

[Being an athlete is really a waste of his talent...]

As the live stream continues.

Wang Ye and his crew come to a straight section that looks like a canyon.

Not far ahead, countless tents can already be seen set up. Although it looks close, it actually takes some effort to get there, only serving as a distant incentive.

The total distance from C1 Camp to C2 Camp is short, only about 3 kilometers (specific value depends on camp setup). Usually, it only takes 2-4 hours to complete.

It involves passing through the famous Valley of Silence (Western Cwm), which is accompanied by numerous large crevasses, and some sections require aluminum ladders. Additionally, due to too much ice and clear skies, it becomes very hot here.

The scorching sun and harsh winds make it difficult to endure this extreme climate. Climbers passing through here can only wear more gear on their faces and head to shield from the sun overhead.

But Wang Ye, live streaming with his hood and mask off, appears incredibly comfortable. He seems utterly unaffected by the sunlight.

This amazes the accompanying team and the live stream audience.

Although most viewers don't know how harsh the sun is on Everest,

seeing the behavior of those around him, most can infer some clues.

However, Wang Ye didn't wear any protective gear, walking through the canyon under the sun.

What they didn't know was that Wang Ye could absorb ultraviolet and radiation energy, so the sun above didn't harm him at all. Instead, it's absorbed by his cells and nerves, turning into his own energy, making his mind and body more energetic.

Because the sunlight on Everest is even more abundant than in Mainland China, Wang Ye's energy consumption mode becomes more efficient than usual. His power and thought speed reach about 120% of their previous levels. That's why he can perform those high difficulty stunts in front of the camera.

As Wang Ye's performance gets better and better.

About half an hour after going live, the number of online viewers surged to around 100W. But due to the camera and phone battery running low, Wang Ye could only end the stream at its peak, notifying the audience of the approximate date and time for the next stream before signing off.

After ending the stream,

Wang Ye and his team quickened their pace towards the C2 Camp on the steep slope.

After 2 hours of effort.

They finally arrived at a spot where tents could be set up—C2 Camp.

Here, they could already see the form of the world's highest peak.

Looking up, they could see the towering peak amidst the clouds.

Despite being the world's highest peak, surprisingly, the summit didn't have a very noticeable ice and snow cover. Instead, it revealed dark rocks and cliffs.

After arriving here, climbers almost qualify to make the final summit push, provided they have enough supplies to head straight to the summit of the world's highest peak.

But, after reaching C2 Camp, climbers usually follow the guides' arrangements to conduct several return training sessions before making a formal summit attempt. Some teams even return to base camp or C1 Camp, resting for a few days at lower altitudes before attempting again. This is not only for transporting food, tents, and oxygen tanks but also for adaptation training at various altitudes to minimize risks during the final summit push.

According to most plans, after reaching C2 Camp, climbers need to climb the side of Luozi Peak twice before making the summit push for real. The first time serves as fitness adaptation training, and the second time is the route to the formal summit push. The side of Luozi Peak is where accidents are common due to the steep cliffs and hard icy surfaces making it difficult for climbers' ice claw boots to grab securely. Hence, climbers always have to secure themselves with ropes on the climbing chains here for safety reasons.

After listening to the guide, Wang Ye left the tent and looked up at the high summit of Mount Everest.

If nothing unexpected happens, in ten days, he'll be prepping for a high-altitude skydiving event from there.

Although he wishes to leave the team now, rush to the top, and achieve this goal directly, the climate on Mount Everest is capricious. Only the Sherpas who have lived here for many years can have some forecast ability. These outsiders, like Wang Ye, if they climb without the Sherpas' assistance, might not even know the reason behind an oncoming avalanche or ice collapse.

Therefore, if Wang Ye departs from the team on his own, he risks encountering an avalanche and dying halfway. Especially between the 6500-meter camp and the 7028-meter road. Here is a huge snow slope, with an average slope of 40%, the steepest part reaching up to 60%, and it's heavily snowed leading to risks of snow slides and avalanches.

During these days of climbing, Wang Ye has encountered avalanches. But mostly at night and not on major routes. When he was nestled in the tent's sleeping bag, he could hear the rumbling sounds of heavy snow and ice layers crashing onto the rocks in the distance.

Ten days ago, at the base camp, Wang Ye expressed his desire to make a solo summit push to the guide.

But the guide didn't understand Wang Ye's idea. In these snow mountains where disasters can happen any time, physical strength isn't the most important quality, experience is.

The previous individual climber known as Stupid Bear was like this. Based on his experience from solo climbs many times, he managed to leave behind Wang Ye who had better physical strength.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye shook his head slightly, planning to return to the tent to rest.

But just as he walked on the snow, he suddenly noticed a panel appearing ahead.

After taking a closer look, he found that his Rapid Step Skill had broken through to lv5 during the climbing period and gained a new trait.

In addition to the original 'reducing stamina consumption by 10%', a new trait layer has been added.

[You've practiced Rapid Step and gained insight, increasing Skill Level by 0.5%]

[Your Rapid Step Skill Level has reached max, upgraded from lv4 to lv5.]

[Rapid Step lv5 (0.1%)]

[Traits: Reduce stamina consumption during movement by 20%; gained accelerated reaction neural speed.]
