Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi

Chapter 452 - 322: Can Tai Chi Be Used in Actual Combat?

The wilderness in the middle of the night is almost pitch black.

Even in a major metropolis like Shenzhen, with severe light pollution, the outdoors at night is still jet black.

Though Wang Ye’s eyes have evolved so much they can already achieve views comparable to modern technological devices like microscopes and telescopes in daily life, at night, with no visible light source entering his eyes to refract, he can’t see the surrounding scenery clearly,

and can only rely on his sense of smell and hearing to replace the function of his eyes.

His hearing judges whether there are obstacles ahead by sensing the flow and blockage of the wind,

while his sense of smell discerns more detailed terrain changes through the scents emitted by everything.

These processes appear cumbersome,

but for Wang Ye, who has masterfully honed his five senses to analyze information, it’s actually just a matter of moments.

Following his memory, Wang Ye arrived at the mountain path on the wild mountain,

and now that walking and running have merged, his walking speed has naturally improved.

Although he doesn’t have a speed measuring device on hand,

Wang Ye can tell just from the wind speed sensed by his touch,

that his walking speed should exceed 150 kilometers per hour,

about five times faster than Bolt’s maximum running speed.

To achieve such speed while walking, his stride and pace frequency are of course also very exaggerated. Each step can even span over ten meters, almost reaching the "Shrinking Inches" ability of myths and legends.

If a normal person captured this way of walking on film, it would probably cause quite a sensation.

At this incredibly fast walking speed, within a few minutes, Wang Ye reached the place where he frequently trained before. This place is surrounded by rock walls on three sides, with a small lake about fifty meters in diameter in the middle.

By the lake, there are still blackened marks left by Wang Ye’s past campfires for grilling fish.

Wang Ye cleared the area and set up the camera he brought,

and turned on the high-lumen flashlight to illuminate the area.

The space required for filming the throwing doesn’t have to be too wide, it just needs to illuminate the fan-shaped area in front of him.

After doing all this,

Wang Ye casually pulled off two or three leaves from the nearby trees.

After picking the leaves, he didn’t even bother to inspect them, just clenched them in his hand, preparing to start throwing.

If any martial artist training in throwing saw this scene, they would surely be astounded.

It’s important to know that this is a very common camphor tree in the south, its leaves are not resilient, usually not regular in shape, soft in texture, lacking rigidity. For ordinary people, throwing such leaves with effort, being able to throw them two or three meters would be considered decent arm strength.

Nobody would actually think to use camphor leaves as darts to hurt people. Even if someone thought of using camphor leaves to demonstrate the supposed power of "Flowers and Leaves Can Hurt People," they would select leaves with the right shape and slightly firmer texture in advance. Because if the object being thrown isn’t flat enough, it truly can’t fly very far. Especially these camphor leaves which weigh virtually nothing.

Yet now, not only is Wang Ye choosing these soft-textured camphor leaves,

the leaves in his hand were casually picked, not even selected carefully.

Just how powerful does one have to be to have this level of confidence?

Only to see Wang Ye starting the camera,

then pinching a camphor leaf between his fingers.

He first displayed the leaf to the camera lens, then slowly raised his hand, aiming at the opposite rock wall.

The next moment, he fiercely flung it out.

Whoosh!!!

The moment the leaf left his hand, it instantly turned from a soft, irregular object into a sharp straight blade.

It pierced the air, making a sharp blast sound,

if listened to closely, a very faint sonic boom could also be heard.

Because the leaf’s volume is very small, the sonic boom it produces is also very small. Like the sonic boom from the tip of a whip can echo through the plaza, while the sonic boom of a plane can reverberate through an entire city.

In just a few milliseconds, the camphor leaf had embedded itself into the rock wall.

There wasn’t the slightest damping along the way,

just like a knife slicing through tofu.

Wang Ye picked up the camera and walked in front of the rock wall, aiming it at the gap left by the camphor leaf.

The camphor leaf was fully embedded in the rock wall, only leaving a straight-line cut mark. Looking inside through the cut mark, one could see a pile of black charcoal, because while the leaf was flying at supersonic speed, its temperature briefly rose to several hundred degrees, thus combusted into black charcoal.

With just a soft leaf, he had thrown with such power,

already far surpassing the legendary "Flowers and Leaves Can Hurt People" level.

Not to mention hurting people,

several people stacked together could probably be penetrated.

Yet, only Wang Ye knew that he hadn’t even used his full strength in this throw.

He had only used about forty to fifty percent of his strength to throw it.

If he had used his full power, this rock wall would have been directly blown apart by him,

not to mention the bad influence it would cause, the video footage released would also prompt doubt and fear.

After filming the video, Wang Ye packed up the camera and began training on other skills.

Since he didn’t bring the plasma cutter, now he can only practice the Bone Shrinking Skill. After practicing the Bone Shrinking Skill, he needs to run more than a thousand kilometers at full speed back home to use the plasma cutter and hydraulic press to train Vajra Indestructible.

After training, he would have to run over a thousand kilometers back to Shenzhen. Though this back-and-forth is a bit troublesome, fortunately, during the running process, he’s also improving his "Divine Speed" skill level, so overall, it’s not a waste of time.
