Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi

After the punch just now.

A heavy rain has already started over the ocean.

The buoy symbolizing Nemo Point beside Wang Ye is swaying erratically in the fierce wind and rain.

Countless raindrops hit his body, but he doesn’t care.

Because he knows this storm will soon stop.

Wang Ye sits cross-legged in mid-air, channeling his breath to the Dantian.

Due to the absence of lungs, now his entire chest cavity acts as lungs.

Generally speaking, in nature, the larger the creature, the lower the frequency of sound and the more deafening the volume. This is closely related to the structure of the vocal cords and the volume of the resonance chamber. Longer and thicker vocal cords often vibrate at lower frequencies, producing more resonant sounds.

Meanwhile, large animals have broad chest cavities and large nasal spaces, allowing low-frequency sound waves to resonate within the body. When tigers roar, their chest cavities noticeably expand, and the lowest frequency can reach eighteen hertz. However, size does not entirely determine the volume of sound. For example, some small amphibians have evolved tympanic air sacs forming temporary resonance chambers within their mouths to significantly amplify their calls.

What Wang Ye is doing now is essentially simulating the temporary resonance chamber of small amphibians, but his body size is ultimately limited, and in his regular form without the Law of Heaven and Earth, no matter how large he expands the temporary resonance chamber, it is difficult to achieve enough resonance. Nevertheless, he relies not on the resonance chamber but on his immense breath, pushing the decibels up. The temporary resonance chamber just adds to the effect.

Gradually,

Wang Ye’s chest cavity becomes increasingly inflated,

and all it takes is a push from the diaphragm muscles to expel all the breath in one go,

through the mutated vocal cords, erupting a sound wave capable of forming a disaster-level shockwave.

If someone were observing nearby now, they’d see his throat and chest cavity flexing as if elastic.

This is very similar to the description of the Toad Skill in martial arts novels.

But the so-called Toad Skill cannot burst the body’s fascia and bones, so there would only be a slight fluctuation at the throat,

while now Wang Ye’s chest cavity appears swollen as if his ribs have been extracted, turning him into a humanoid balloon.

Scientists observing this scene through satellite imagery cannot help but exclaim in wonder.

"His skeletal structure can undergo such dramatic changes; have his ribs evolved into cartilage?"

"This body control ability... he’s practically like a human made of rubber."

"What is he planning to do?"

"Judging by his previous actions, he might be preparing some sort of attack," said Matthew.

"But what kind of attack can an inflated chest cavity produce?"

"That remains unknown. Keep recording; anyway, he isn’t trying to hide from us now. Let’s take this opportunity to thoroughly understand his capabilities."

As soon as the words dropped,

the muscles in Wang Ye’s chest and abdomen suddenly contracted, and the gas stored in the chest cavity erupted from his vocal cords through his throat.

Roar!!!

Instantly, tangible sound waves blasted out from his mouth and nose in a bubble-like form.

Creating a terrifying shockwave that lifted the surrounding layers of seawater, making the entire sea area dance like a crazed dragon thrashing the ocean.

But the depth of impact is not as high as the punch just now because the punch focused force in one direction, whereas the sound inundates all directions, benefiting from its sufficiently broad coverage.

A shockwave tens of times faster than the speed of sound spread across all the visible sea areas within a second, and the raindrops falling in the air stopped instantaneously, forcibly pushed aside.

The frightening shockwave shattered the rain into mist, quickly spreading to the firmament, tearing the already split dark cloud curtain into fluffy cotton, blasting it further away. Without the covering of dark clouds, sunlight instantly poured down, illuminating the entire sea area, turning the sky from the oppressive scene of black clouds into a clear blue.

The previously drenched body dried off under high-frequency vibrations, though it also inflicted some injuries on Wang Ye, such as ruptured fragile blood vessels and fascia within him. Although he isn’t severely injured, he appears terribly battered, covered in blood.

Yet, now, the scientists observing Wang Ye through satellites don’t pay attention to his battered appearance,

this blast capable of destroying a fortress, makes them start to doubt if they are indeed living in the real world.

In their understanding, the sound made by organisms is mostly used for communication or mating signals, with only a minority possibly serving as deterrence or orientation. Almost no organism can directly inflict harm on a target using sound.

Even the sound produced by the super-large sperm whale in nature, approaching 200 decibels, can rupture the eardrums of medium and small animals, possibly causing fatal injuries. However, sperm whales never use sound as an attack method, because with their size, even a casual tail flip can produce destruction far surpassing sound; why bother exerting effort in a sound attack?

The vocal cords, from the beginning of evolution, no creature imagined using them for attack, except humans who have envisioned causing harm through training or manufacturing sonic weaponry. Yet even with the Great Success of the Shaolin Martial Monk’s Lion’s Roar, the produced sound only startles others and affects their state, rather than inflicting direct damage.
