Chapter 506 - 349: What the Hell is Going On?
Wang Ye traveled rapidly all the way, rushing continuously for five minutes in the gray night.
He had already arrived at a flat land some tens of kilometers away.
He stamped his foot, sensing the smoothness of the land.
Then he took off his shoes, and barefoot, felt the softness of the sand and stones.
If it is too soft, it will easily affect his grip.
Because his current grip partly relies on the sharp claws embedded in the land.
If the land is too soft, a slight backward push of his claws would scatter the soil.
Thus, not much grip can be formed.
But fortunately, his grip now doesn’t entirely rely on "grasping."
Since learning Lightweight Skill back then, Wang Ye had mastered the technique of using Primordial Qi to create grip and friction, which is akin to the process in Naruto where Chakra is gathered at the soles of the feet to walk on water.
But his gathering of Primordial Qi at the soles of the feet was not for repulsion, but for attraction.
In the real world, the higher the density of something, the stronger the attraction.
Therefore, celestial bodies with higher mass usually have greater gravitational pull,
If a human were to stand on such a high-mass planet, they would be crushed into pulp without doing anything,
For instance, the Sun, whose gravity is 330,000 times that of Earth,
If the nuclear fusion reactions on the Sun’s surface were removed, and a human stood upon it,
In no time, they would be crushed to the point where their bones are shattered, leaving no corpse.
Wang Ye employed this principle to make his feet form gravity.
Though the gravitational force formed by his feet was not as strong as the Sun’s surface.
But it could elevate his grip to a higher level.
Roughly estimated, it should be about ten times the Earth’s gravity.
If Wang Ye concentrated all his Primordial Qi at the soles of his feet with full force,
Then even a helicopter wouldn’t be able to lift him up.
But this traction force could barely ensure that Wang Ye had enough grip when running at supersonic speed. If an ordinary person had such terrifying gravitational force at their feet, they would probably not even be able to lift their legs.
After testing the situation of the ground.
Wang Ye summoned a panel.
He checked the level and skill level of the Divine Speed Skill.
[Divine Speed lv1 (90.32%)]
"Just a bit more to upgrade, hopefully today’s training will level up the skill."
Wang Ye murmured softly. It had been about two months since he acquired the Divine Speed Skill.
But the level of the Divine Speed Skill still remained at lv1.
Because he couldn’t run at full speed usually, the skill level advanced very slowly.
He could only rely on walking from day to day to slowly improve his skill level.
The efficiency of improvement was about one percent a day.
Occasionally, when traveling across provinces, it could increase by about ten percent.
If he could run at full speed, the improvement efficiency could be about five percent per hour.
However, full-speed running consumed too much of his physique, so Wang Ye had to rest for one minute after running for three minutes,
But even following this training efficiency, he was sure to break through to lv2 tonight.
Because he had ample time to train.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
Divine Speed lv1 could already give him subsonic or even sonic running capabilities; what if it was upgraded to lv2?
He took off his outer jacket, because running at supersonic speed quickly generates heat, which can easily melt clothes or cause them to burn, but his innermost T-shirt was specially made with high-temperature-resistant materials from Anta, immune to friction and high-temperature burning.
After a brief half-minute preparation,
Wang Ye found himself wearing only a T-shirt and a pair of sports pants.
His shoes and socks were also taken off and placed aside.
He activated the Bone Shrinking Skill, transforming his legs into a state extremely suited for running.
The tibia of his lower legs gradually lengthened and thinned, the Achilles tendon doubled in length, his thigh muscles became more developed, and sharp claws extended from the original toenail positions, gradually lengthening, sharpening, and clawing downwards to embed into the ground.
Crack...
In an instant, Wang Ye’s entire body seemed to slim down significantly. Yet, his weight had not reduced in the slightest; the reason he appeared thinner was due to his subtle adjustments to his skeletal and muscle structure, allowing him to minimize wind resistance while running.
Wang Ye crouched down, placing his palms on the ground. It seemed somewhat like a crouching start, but the details were entirely different.
It was labeled as a start, but it appeared more like the stance of a tiger or other large carnivores confronting an enemy. Keen eyes locked in the direction ahead, body held very low, the muscles of his forelegs and legs were taut to their limits.
This was because, after adjustments from the Bone Shrinking Skill, his body structure differed significantly from that of a normal human, so the crouching start most suitable for humans was not necessarily suitable for him now, hence he developed a brand new starting stance based on his current form.
Wang Ye maintained this stance, seemingly motionless. But internally, his tendons and muscle fibers were gradually stretching forwards and backwards. It was like a bowstring being pulled taut.
Simultaneously, the Primordial Qi within formed a rope-like structure in front of his body, one end linked several kilometers ahead, the other to his body, pulling his body forward,
The next moment.
Wang Ye moved.
He shot forth like a cannonball fired from a muzzle,
Instantly transforming into a blur, and no sooner had his form moved several hundred meters, than the overwhelming blast of air and a thunderous sound followed behind, belatedly emerging.
