Chapter 616 - 404: Life of Wind
"The speed enhancement... it’s actually this astonishing?!"
Wang Ye exhaled hot mist from his mouth, feeling as though his body was burning up, with energy burning so intensely inside that it rose to hundreds or thousands of degrees.
Evidently, this was due to the excessive burst of energy, causing an accumulation of heat in his body that couldn’t be dissipated quickly, leaving him feeling like if he were an oven, he could bake a pizza shell inside him instantly.
The heat generated from his high-speed friction with the air even caused his skin and some muscular fibers to become tattered, with some areas even igniting. Fortunately, his body cells quickly repaired and healed these damages.
Yet at this moment, Wang Ye wasn’t concerned about the damage to his body.
He was instead staring blankly at the remaining golden light behind him.
"So this is... the explosive force of Vertical Earth Golden Radiance..."
Wang Ye estimated the peak speed just now,
it might have already exceeded Mach 10.
This surpassed the speed limit of his Celestial Palace Leap project.
In an instant, he could even cross a distance of ten kilometers!
Moreover, he still felt that his strength wasn’t fully utilized.
If he didn’t worry about the over-accumulation of heat,
he felt he could dash again.
Such low energy consumption and extremely high peak speed truly made it a Divine Skill.
The only flaw is that executing Vertical Earth Golden Radiance can only last for about two seconds at most.
Meaning, he could only move at ultra-high speed for a distance of ten kilometers at one go.
Additionally, there is about a one-second charge-up time before releasing the Vertical Earth Golden Radiance.
After execution, a certain amount of energy is needed to recover from the injuries.
But setting aside these flaws,
this definitely counts as a great survival skill.
Just consider the worst-case scenario. Suppose a nuclear missile is dropped above Wang Ye’s head, and due to other interference, he fails to use his Future Predictive Ability to foresee its fall,
he could still, within the three seconds of the missile’s fall and explosion, use the short-distance high-speed burst of the Vertical Earth Golden Radiance,
to instantly move as a golden flash to ten kilometers away, thus avoiding the damage from the temperature at the missile’s center area.
Of course, such a scenario could never happen,
because Wang Ye’s current Future Predictive Ability is already extremely sharp,
it is impossible for him not to perceive such a massive missile head being launched towards him without any awareness.
This is merely a contingency plan for the worst-case scenario.
Realizing that his current survival abilities are almost invincible,
Wang Ye couldn’t help but feel immense joy in his heart.
After slowing down a bit and clearing the heat from his body,
he continued heading towards Carlos’ camp.
A few minutes later, he found Carlos,
and discussed with him for a moment.
Then they packed their challenge equipment and left the camp.
To facilitate the upcoming challenge, Carlos even removed several layers of warm clothing.
As soon as he stepped out of the camp, his body couldn’t help but start shivering.
Seeing this, Wang Ye subtly infused him with a trace of Primordial Qi.
While allowing the heat emitted from his own body to increase slightly.
Sure enough, after the infusion of Primordial Qi, Carlos’ shivering slightly improved.
··························
··························
About half an hour later.
Wang Ye brought Carlos directly to the location of the challenge for Life of Wind and Life of Ice.
Right next to the Blood Falls of Taylor Glacier.
Carlos, upon seeing the spectacular yet terrifying sight of the Blood Falls, couldn’t help but pause for a moment.
Although he had heard of the tales of Antarctica’s Taylor Glacier Blood Falls, rumors were rumors, after all,
neither photos, videos, nor words could convey even a fraction of the original scene’s shock.
Yet after the awe, Carlos fell into concern over the challenge,
though there was a sufficiently high snowy mountain here serving as a high ground for the jump.
But the wind speed here made him inevitably worry about this challenge.
Based on his sensory estimate, the wind speed here was at least about forty meters per second,
even faster than a level twelve hurricane.
And according to their extreme sports athletes’ strict tests, during a wingsuit flight, the maximum safe wind speed must absolutely not exceed twelve meters per second. The ideal operating wind speed is between six and eight meters per second, falling within the range of a gentle breeze.
If it exceeds fifteen meters per second,
it becomes an absolutely prohibited flying wind speed.
At this wind speed, there’s already absolute instability,
the gliding speed during wingsuit flying is inherently high,
making it easy for the posture to lose control and crash into mountains or other obstacles.
Coupled with this wind speed, enough to blow people away,
controlling posture would be impossible.
And now,
the environment they’re in,
has a wind speed more than twice, nearly three times the prohibited flying speed!
At this wind speed, challenging Life of Wind is nothing short of hellish.
Although he considered this situation before arriving,
facing the battlefield, he still couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.
"Can... we, can I really survive?" Carlos murmured.
Wang Ye beside him suddenly said, "Whether we’ll succeed, I don’t know, but with me here, you definitely won’t die."
