Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 498 - 472: Accomplished

"However, this is just the initiation speed."

Chen Shouyi sensed his own telekinesis, estimating it to be around three hundred kilograms.

With his two hundred kilogram weight, even against gravity, rushing into the sky, the acceleration was half a g; the only thing that could limit his speed was wind resistance!

But his ability to control the wind could greatly reduce the wind resistance.

"When really flying... it should be much faster than walking in the air." Chen Shouyi felt a trace of excitement.

He took a shower, ate some divine flesh, replenishing his body’s nutrients, and soon, his previous haggard state was almost completely recovered.

...

On a countryside path outside Hedong.

Surrounding it was remote and deserted.

The heavy snow from ten days ago had yet to melt, and not far away the mountains undulated covered in silver, a vast expanse of white.

Chen Shouyi stopped his bicycle and stored it in space.

He looked around; all he saw were fields, with no pedestrians in sight.

Of course, on this freezing morning, no one would be walking through the fields.

"There shouldn’t be any anti-aircraft guns here!" thought Chen Shouyi. He had purposefully come to the wilderness to avoid anti-aircraft fire, as being mistakenly hit would be an aggrieving disaster.

The Shell Lady’s small head had just peeked out from Chen Shouyi’s T-shirt when a strong force pulled her back down immediately.

"Boom!"

Chen Shouyi jumped fiercely, the frozen ground shattered, and a wave of air surged around him as his body shot upwards like a rocket.

The Earth’s gravity seemed to disappear at that moment.

The speed dropped slightly from the initial burst but rose straight into the sky.

His speed had stabilized at a hundred meters per second, the biting cold wind bypassed him automatically, yet the residual wind made his clothes flap noisily.

He flew higher and higher, straight upwards.

Seconds later, he broke through the lead-grey clouds made of countless ice crystals.

The warm, red sunlight unabashedly poured over him, making his body look as though gilded with gold.

Here was the power of will, mysterious and ethereal, and yet containing miraculous force, after initial silent brewing, now finally radiating dazzling brilliance.

Chen Shouyi felt immensely excited.

This was true flight, akin to his instinct.

Far beyond what walking in the air could compare.

He flew higher and higher.

The sky grew increasingly deep, appearing almost black instead of blue.

The air began to thin.

He continued to fly,

Sustaining near two minutes of extreme flight afterward.

He finally felt the fatigue, his spirit nearing exhaustion.

He willed a thought, slowing himself down until he hovered high in the sky.

Looking at the majestic clouds below, he felt immensely thrilled.

Facing this scene, he felt he should shout something!

"Chen Shouyi, you are the handsomest!"

"I am already invincible in the world!"

After all, no one could hear him.

"Mighty Giant, you are the most awesome!" The Shell Lady poked her head out, clutching Chen Shouyi’s collar, and said seriously.

Chen Shouyi burst into laughter.

What an adorable little trickster.

He didn’t stay in the air long, after feeling the thrill, he promptly soared downward.

...

Desolate world desert.

"Boom!"

Chen Shouyi kicked a rock into pieces.

Irritated, he roared a few times.

The fear generated during cultivation, along with prolonged failure, gave rise to a trace of irritability.

In the distance, the Shell Lady, sitting on the ground reading, fearfully glanced at the Giant before withdrawing her gaze; she had long since grown accustomed to it in these two days.

She flipped a page in the book, eagerly resumed tackling mathematical problems.

These days, she had become obsessed with mathematics.

The more difficult, the greater the sense of achievement upon solving.

"25+69=11111..."

...

Chen Shouyi vented for a while and gradually regained his composure.

"It seems my willpower is insufficient!" he thought.

Without strong willpower, he simply couldn’t withstand the terrifying aura generated during training.

...

Third day after practice.

"Finally reached the thirtieth form." He knelt on the ground, chuckling, unable to control the drool flowing from his mouth, shivering incessantly.

In just three days, his body had thinned considerably, his eye sockets sunken.

Yet his gaze grew sharper and brighter.

Like a sword drawn from its sheath, carrying a fierce edge.

Moreover,

Although he still hadn’t completed it even once.

His stagnant attributes began to grow again.

When the environment suits life’s survival,

muscles relax, the body degenerates and gains fat, accumulating energy.

And in comfort seek pleasures, begin life’s reproduction.

When the environment becomes unsuitable, life’s survival instinct struggles desperately, making itself stronger, adapting anew.

A person physically weak enough to lift an animal, after three months, could easily move bricks on a construction site.

From some perspective, human cultivation techniques also follow this basic law, through intense and heavy training, growing stronger, gradually evolving, yet this time the Book of Knowledge optimized Horizontal Training 36 Forms, more extreme, cruder.

The effects were also more apparent.

...

Fifth day.

Chen Shouyi was completely red, his body trembling, expressionless, teeth clenched, steadily performing each form.

Thirty-third form!

Countless cells within were fiercely struggling for survival under the information of destruction.

Thirty-fourth form!

Various bodily organs started functioning erratically, going berserk, the cerebral cortex’s nerve cells grew extremely active, body’s stamina was consumed at a pace a hundredfold higher than intense combat.

Thirty-fifth form!

His skin began to burst with blood spots, cells unable to withstand the destruction information began self-destructing, decomposing into energy, nutrients, supplying to healthier, more vigorous cells.

Thirty-sixth form, the final form.

Fear peaked, he became a person covered in blood.

As he gritted his teeth and completed the final form, finally evils began to turn auspicious, fear instantly vanished.

Simultaneously, endless original force surged in like tides.

Original force penetrated skin, muscles, organs, bones, nerves, brain, and every nook, coordinated by the ability of Natural Healing, swiftly soothing all negative conditions on him.

All at once he felt ethereal as an immortal, his entire being filled with intense euphoria.

He clenched his fists tightly, producing a creaking sound.

Suppressing his inner excitement, his eyes uncontrollably reddened.

These days, Chen Shouyi didn’t know how he survived, every single day felt like enduring torture.

But thank goodness, after bearing so many hardships and troubles, it was all worthwhile; finally he had accomplished it.

"Sigh, feeling a bit sentimental." Chen Shouyi sniffed and mocked himself.

Then swiftly checked the attribute panel.
