Chapter 510 - 351: Physical Examination
A massive trail of misty turbulence stretched out behind Wang Ye like an enduring afterglow.
Every swing of his arm detonated a series of sonic booms in the air.
Each subtle tremor of his form caused the air around him to violently ripple.
Unlike a jet fighter, which flies in an extraordinarily stable posture, Wang Ye’s form constantly shifted during his run. He needed to swing his arms, rotate his waist and spine to maintain balance, which resulted in destructive force and turbulence far more exaggerated than those caused by a jet breaking the sound barrier.
A jet’s thrust primarily comes from the high-temperature, high-pressure flames expelled from its rear nozzle. Other than minor adjustments by the tail and wing tips, the entire jet remains in a fixed aerodynamic shape during flight, with each airflow and disturbance meticulously calculated to avoid chaos.
But Wang Ye was different. Even though his running skill had advanced to Third Stage Extraordinary Skills - Divine Speed, he was still a being running with his body, so the commotion he caused was inevitably massive.
However, Wang Ye wasn’t particularly bothered by it,
as he didn’t have a high need for stealth at that moment.
The commotion even provided a certain degree of deterrence to other beings.
It might even work as an effective tool for intimidation and threat at times.
As Wang Ye ran, he gradually realized that maintaining this supersonic run felt as normal as an ordinary sprint, not an exhausting energy burst. Moreover, he felt he could easily change direction or even make an abrupt stop,
whereas during an extreme burst, he would only be able to grit his teeth and run straight ahead.
It’s the same for regular people; a sudden change in direction while sprinting at maximum speed would impose severe stress on the joints and muscles. But running at normal speeds allows for easy maneuverability and agility.
Wang Ye attempted a sudden left turn while running at 1.2 Mach speed.
Whoosh!!!!
A stream of air shattered against his body, exploding like mist.
He effortlessly threaded through the mist, continuing his mad dash leftwards.
"Indeed, it’s quite easy."
Wang Ye couldn’t help but marvel at his upgraded agility and nimbleness.
To make such a directional shift at this speed rivaled the difficulty of breaking the sound barrier.
Even a slight irregular movement of the arm could trigger violent sonic booms and turbulent airflows. The difficulty of having such a large body change direction dramatically was imaginable.
But Wang Ye exploited the weak points within the sonic booms, smoothly turning his body with minimal energy expenditure.
As he ran, a bold idea emerged in Wang Ye’s mind.
He tilted his step, continuing to rotate leftward.
At the same time, a visible air barrier appeared on his left side, attempting to thwart his turn.
Yet Wang Ye’s body easily pushed against the barrier, moving steadily leftward.
The extent of his turn grew larger, from an initial 10 degrees gradually increasing to 20 degrees, then to 45 degrees. Eventually, after about ten seconds, his turn extended to 90 degrees.
His running trajectory changed from a straight line to a nearly circular arc.
All of this was within his calculations.
During the turn, he reached the edge of a basin. With a slight slope, gravity naturally guided him into an arcing path, allowing him to run at supersonic speed in the center of the wilderness in a basin with a diameter of over two hundred meters.
The basin was somewhat irregularly circular, with a circumference of roughly 650 meters.
At Wang Ye’s supersonic speed, a lap took only two seconds.
As he circled again and again, a whirlwind gradually formed within the basin.
The whirlwind began as a mere shadow, unable to lift even dead leaves from the wilderness.
But as Wang Ye’s laps increased, the whirlwind’s scale and intensity rose, its rotation speed escalating, causing debris to swirl into the storm, rendering the gale a hazy yellow-grey.
Boom!!!
It was like a land dragon roaring amidst the storm, endless thunderclaps emanating from the tornado’s center,
If someone were there at that moment, they might discern a black dot at the tornado’s outer layer spinning at dizzying speeds, accelerating the cyclone’s pace. But due to the night, what the black dot was remained unclear.
As the tornado spun faster, the basin turned chaotic, its once somewhat even ground now a pitted, uneven mess. But this didn’t hinder Wang Ye’s run in the slightest; his stride quickened to the point where terrain no longer slowed him—he could run smoothly on swamps, water, or gravel.
While crafting the tornado, Wang Ye occasionally used the Creation Skill to conjure endless flames and lightning, mingling with the wild wind, like a tornado in a thunderstorm, appearing extremely dangerous. Countless electric glows crackled around Wang Ye, making him look like The Flash from movies, except the lightning didn’t actually enhance his speed; it merely made him appear cooler, perhaps even providing some attack advantage in battle, like deep internal lightning attacks to destroy mechanical entities like tanks or aircraft.
