Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 34: Rapid Step

Aside from this, there are many other techniques that have been honed to perfection with the system’s assistance.

The realms beyond are unimaginable even to Wang Ye himself.

Wang Ye activated the walking monitor function on his watch and, using the optimal walking posture, walked for two hours at maximum speed along the riverside track.

A long time passed.

Wang Ye raised his wrist to check his watch; damn, he had already walked thirty kilometers.

"No way, walking can actually be this fast?"

Wang Ye was stunned.

This is too outrageous.

To run a half marathon of 21 kilometers takes him about one hour and ten minutes.

This means his walking speed is gradually approaching his running speed.

Wang Ye immediately opened the calculator function on his phone for a quick calculation; his average walking speed had reached a pace of four minutes per kilometer, faster than many high-level running enthusiasts.

This is somewhat against the norm of human limits.

It’s hard to imagine the sheer distance he covers in a single stride.

Moreover, Wang Ye walked at such a high speed for two hours without any sign of fatigue, maintaining a relatively relaxed state.

A shiver ran down Wang Ye’s spine, and he quickly scanned the surroundings to see if anyone was around.

Luckily, there weren’t many people in Longjiang Park at noon; otherwise, if someone had secretly recorded his walking speed and posted it online, it could cause a big problem.

After this incident.

Wang Ye dared not continue walking at that speed and instead opted for a relatively more normal speed, continuing to level up his walking skill along the track.

Finally.

During the fifth hour of walking.

Wang Ye noticed a slight change on the panel before him.

[You practiced walking, gained insight, skill level increased by 0.21%.]

[Your Walking Skill level is full, upgraded to "Rapid Step."]

[Rapid Step lv1 (0.0%)]

At the same time, a massive stream of information surged into Wang Ye’s mind.

Crack! It was as if an invisible barrier was instantly shattered.

Wang Ye’s eyes grew brighter and his mind seemed to clear, revealing much advanced knowledge he had never known before. Without exception, this knowledge all could make his walking faster.

"Rapid Step?"

Wang Ye scanned around to see only himself on the track.

He began to try using this [Rapid Step] skill.

His muscles suddenly exploded with amazing coordination, as if driving hundreds of small muscle groups throughout his body to walk.

Pushing off the ground, stepping forward, landing.

All in one go.

Every step matched the previous in full amplitude, precision was controlled within the millimeter range.

There was no sound when his foot landed, and movements from heel rolling to the front foot had no obstructions.

Like a perfect round tire.

Silently moving in an almost perfect manner.

Wang Ye walked a kilometer, turning back suddenly.

Only three minutes had passed.

This means his walking speed was now on par with running.

And walking consumed less energy, moved quieter, even at the fastest Rapid Movement there was no sound at all. Just like an assassin practicing Lightweight Skill in martial arts novels.

Wang Ye continued to move rapidly, under everyone’s radar, back home. Despite his outrageous speed, due to the lightness of his footsteps, no one noticed him along the way.

He seemed like a shadowy phantom weaving through the city.

With the Rapid Step skill, he successfully avoided everyone’s sight on the road.

Moreover, he took only narrow alleyways, deliberately avoiding crowded areas and places with cameras, almost reaching invisibility level along the way, with no electronic devices or human eyes able to capture his figure.

Back home.

Wang Ye took a good while before coming down from the joy of his upgrade.

He sat on the sofa, rested for a while, and then opened the Douyin app to check the data from the video he posted yesterday.

The data remained ordinary, at a level of thousands of likes.

But the first Throwing Toothpicks video had tens of thousands of likes.

After scanning through the video data, as Wang Ye was about to exit, he suddenly noticed a collaboration invitation from a brand merchant in the background.

The invitation content was essentially about the merchant sending him a sample, and Wang Ye would shoot a promotional video for the product, put it in the storefront, and receive part of the commission for each sale, with the commission for each order being about ten yuan.

Wang Ye added their contact information and gathered some details.

The brand merchant sold a kind of training jacket, the kind often worn by old men practicing Tai Chi in the park.

Priced at 69 yuan.

After roughly ten minutes of simple communication, Wang Ye understood the collaboration content and agreed to the partnership. The merchant would send him a sample to try within the next few days.

After turning off the phone,

Wang Ye took a deep breath.

A strong sense of joy welled up in his heart.

He had finally made his first money in the short video industry!

Though the money wasn’t in hand yet, he at least received a collaboration invitation.

It seemed likely that more collaboration invitations would come in the future.

As his popularity continues to accumulate, the money he earns would increase exponentially too.

Taking advantage of his unrelenting joy, Wang Ye grabbed his camera and Hidden Weapons Pouch, and went straight to the unfinished building to start filming videos.

After arriving at the unfinished building, Wang Ye laid out his props on the platform and began pondering the content of this video.

He contemplated for about ten minutes before a vague outline formed in his mind.

Wang Ye took out the balloons and a pack of sunflower seeds he had bought in advance.

His original plan was to use the sunflower seeds to pop the balloons suspended in the air.

But this method was too easy and didn’t seem challenging.

To create a higher difficulty visual effect and increase the video playback data, Wang Ye racked his brains and came up with another approach.

That was dynamic shooting.

Wang Ye took out five or six uninflated balloons.

Then, with a few puffs, he spent half a minute inflating them to the size of basketballs.

His lung capacity now rivaled that of a blower, inflating these balloons was effortless.

Wang Ye set up the camera and pressed the start recording button. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Then he tossed the balloons up one by one.

Suddenly, five balloons were thrown into the air by him and began to slowly descend.

Due to the lightweight of the balloons, they descended very slowly, but slow as they were, within five seconds, they would all fall to the ground.

Wang Ye intended to pop all these balloons within those five seconds.

His eyes narrowed, instantly pulling out five sunflower seeds from his pocket.

Then his arm became a blur, throwing them at an incredibly fast speed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of five piercing strikes echoed.

The five sunflower seeds turned into streaks of shadow, rushing toward the balloons in the air.

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!!!

Five thunderous popping sounds erupted, and the five balloons floating in the air burst instantly, scattering into countless fragments to the ground.
