After enhancing his own abilities,

his top speed in Black Dragon Form has also exceeded twice the speed of sound.

Moreover, the stamina consumption is not overly intense,

allowing him to maintain this supersonic speed

for more than ten minutes before he needs a brief rest.

Wang Ye’s form is drawn into a long, pitch-black streak by his speed, with friction from the clouds erupting into thunder, creating a sight of him shrouded in thunder like a true dragon.

As his Divine Speed Skill is trained and enhanced,

Wang Ye’s mind becomes increasingly filled with techniques regarding speed, so much so that each move spanning hundreds of kilometers seems to correspondingly increase his speed.

However, the techniques he now obtains to enhance Divine Speed Skill no longer adhere to conventional exertion or movement techniques. Instead, they utilize various physical laws and rules of other worlds to further elevate his speed. For instance, Wang Ye employs his Law of Heaven and Earth skill to shrink his size before kinetic explosion, achieving a triple-speed burst within half a second,

or creates local vacuum bubbles through high-frequency vibrations, obtaining a brief acceleration via the pressure difference between vacuum and atmospheric regions. Yet even utilizing all these, acceleration can only last for half a second or to the extent of around 0.1 Mach.

Perhaps abundant techniques may eventually lead to qualitative change, but currently, these minor techniques yield little visible improvement for Wang Ye,

thus his Divine Speed Skill remains stagnantly stuck at level two, unmoved, with Wang Ye speculating that the inability to induce qualitative change is likely one of the primary reasons for his bottleneck.

To further enhance his speed, he fears it will take a very long time, awaiting his complete deciphering of deep principles of certain world rules to have hope...

On the next day, at dawn.

Wang Ye dispelled his Black Dragon Form, standing suspended over the Alps,

The ridge below appeared exceptionally attractive under the division of the twilight line, with the endless white mountains resembling a silver-armored giant snake coiled on the ground, and streams frozen over the limestone faults winding through.

Traces of human presence appear remarkably insignificant against such natural scenery, requiring Wang Ye to activate Microscopic Focus to clearly see some human buildings below, seemingly dotted with traditional wooden lodges inhabited by local herders. These lodges feature fish-scale styled spruce shingles, richly bearing Western traditional characteristics.

According to Carlos, he should reside in one of these lodges, yet no city-like door numbers or grid buildings are present here, making it extraordinarily hard to locate.

Wang Ye, using his microscopic focus eyesight, scanned around and eventually found the dark brown lodge Carlos had photographed for him in a corner.

Immediately, he descended with his backpack before Carlos’s wooden house and knocked on the door.

A moment later,

Carlos opened the door to see Wang Ye standing outside, and appeared deeply astonished.

Seems he didn’t expect Wang Ye to arrive at his doorstep so quickly.

Although he resides near the Alps,

it’s not without internet.

Thus,

Carlos knows Wang Ye was just in Fujian yesterday challenging the Celestial Palace Leap.

He even watched the live stream.

Considering the nearly ten thousand kilometers distance between Fujian and here,

even a straight flight would take at least ten hours.

And even upon reaching here, Wang Ye might not be able to find his residence, given the incredibly complex building arrangement. Carlos’s original plan was to fetch Wang Ye from the nearby airport upon his arrival.

Unexpectedly, after a mere sleep, Wang Ye was at his door,

To his surprise...

Was this the work of the Dragon-Seeking Ruler?

Yet Carlos didn’t inquire much, knowing full well Wang Ye’s capabilities, arguably being among the first aware of Wang Ye’s capability to perform Subsonic Sprint. So his curiosity about Wang Ye quickly finding his residence was mild, without excessive shock.

Carlos invited Wang Ye into the house, serving him a bowl of hot soup.

Inside the house, a coal heap-powered stove provided ample warmth to the small space, rendering it almost like another world compared to outside.

The outside temperature was tens of degrees below zero, whereas inside, it was around ten-plus degrees.

Hence the inside was very warm.

Both quietly sat by the stove, sipping soup and chatting.

Wang Ye inquired Carlos about information on this territory, and Carlos openly shared everything he knew with Wang Ye.

According to Carlos’s description, the current Alps seem to have frequent avalanche signs due to temperature changes.

When Wang Ye heard this, he nodded. Upon reaching the Alps, he indeed noticed the nearby snow seemed unstable, mere movement could trigger an avalanche.

Their dual challenges would inevitably affect nearby snow layers, possibly triggering avalanches during their challenge.

This matter troubled Carlos the most.

Wang Ye pondered for a moment, then left the house, under Carlos’s surprised gaze,

walking in the air, arriving at a nearby snow mountain,

He squatted to touch the snow layers, now fragile hollow layers seemed to appear due to recent temperature fluctuations—likely one of the main reasons for the increased avalanche occurrence.

Additionally, global warming elevating foehn winds occurrence, causing dry airflow to disrupt the snow layer’s water content gradient, also heightens snow slab fracture propagation speed. Though these gradual changes aren’t sudden major events, Wang Ye indeed lacks an effective solution.

Wang Ye stood once more, overlooking surrounding snow mountains thoughtfully. He has some countermeasures, for besides the Alps, other locations for the challenge remain feasible. Of Ozaki’s Eight itself, the challenge isn’t location-bound, as long as the challenge contents are met, location doesn’t matter. However, finding a spot to fulfill both Life of Wind and Life of Ice is truly challenging.

Deep in thought,

Wang Ye descended beside Carlos’s house once more.

By now, after witnessing Wang Ye’s descent and ascent, Carlos was astounded.

"When did you learn to fly?" Carlos stammered.

"I’ve known for a while." Wang Ye didn’t elaborate further, drawing him inside to continue:

"On serious matters, what do you think about challenging in the Antarctic?"

"Antarctic? Are you joking?" Carlos retorted immediately.

Due to their extreme climate and geography, the poles have long been considered human forbidden zones.

The Antarctic climate is intensely frigid,

with annual average temperatures ranging between minus forty to minus fifty degrees Celsius,

while the average in East Antarctic can reach minus fifty-three degrees Celsius,

with the historical lowest recorded temperature being minus eighty-nine point two Celsius in 1983.

Furthermore, Antarctic wind forces are immense,

with average wind speeds reaching 19.4 meters per second.

With maximum wind speeds even surpassing 100 meters per second.

This wind force imposes severe bodily invasions,

making the Life of Wind challenge nearly impossible.

The so-called Life of Wind involves wingsuit flying challenges atop snowy peaks.

With ample wingsuit flying expertise, Carlos naturally realizes,

For wingsuit flying, strong winds are treacherously fatal.

Even challenging in the Alps is already perilous enough.

Antarctic...

Nearly no one besides Wang Ye dares utter the notion of extreme sports challenges in the Antarctic.

Carlos shook his head and asked: "Even if we can reach the Antarctic, how could its harsh climate possibly let us succeed in the challenge?"
