Wang Ye stood in place, slightly moving his muscles and bones, loosening the ligaments of various joints through warm-up exercises, increasing the body’s flexibility.

Nowadays, after the enhancement of Divine Speed, the demands on body flexibility are extremely high because his stride has exceeded five meters, each step needing to cover more than five meters to reach the limit speed. To achieve such stride length, not only muscle explosiveness is required, but also sufficiently elastic ligaments, enabling him to step out that far in a single stride.

Moreover, while taking such a large stride, his step frequency is several times beyond that of ordinary athletes. Such a step frequency looks like a rapidly spinning electric fan to others, even high-speed cameras may not capture it clearly.

After a brief five-minute warm-up, Wang Ye squatted, assuming a crouching start position.

He slowly lifted his head, then suddenly thrust his rear leg, and instantaneously shot out like a cannonball,

In just half a second, he had shot out nearly fifty meters, equating to half the distance of a hundred-meter sprint track.

The speed was astonishing, it was hard to imagine a carbon-based life form could erupt with such speed instantaneously,

Knowing that even the fastest cheetah in the biological circle once took several seconds to reach its maximum speed,

As Wang Ye shot out, his step frequency gradually increased.

From initially one hundred and eighty per minute, it gradually increased to five hundred per minute.

His legs gradually turned into a blur, like rapidly rolling tires.

It’s important to note that when ordinary people are Running, their legs always leave the ground for a moment.

But Wang Ye was different; his legs always had one in contact with the ground. Like a round tire rolling rapidly on the ground. This is because his step frequency has reached an extreme, a physiological limit for the upright leg structure, and the movement path of his stepping feet has become a perfectly circular shape rather than angular triangles or rectangles, saving all unnecessary energy loss. Hence, when Running, his legs appear like rolling wheels while his upper body maintains sturdy stability, seeming to have no vertical movement whatsoever.

In fact, once sprinters reach a sufficiently high level, the movement path of their feet also tends to become circular, and even the area above the shoulders shows no obvious vertical movement while Running.

Very soon.

Wang Ye’s speed increased to his maximum speed of last month.

0.5 Mach.

At this speed, his entire body, bones, and muscles were under extremely terrifying pressure, even certain fragile joints were making sounds as if they couldn’t bear the load anymore, seemingly ready to break apart like snapped noodles.

Yet Wang Ye could distinctly feel that the pressure his body was enduring today was significantly less than it was at the beginning of last month. This indicates that he still has a bit of distance from his limit and can maintain this momentum to continue increasing speed.

Realizing this, Wang Ye did not waste any more time but continued to grit his teeth, outputting more power, as at this speed, every second delay of wind resistance and high-speed pressure would cause further wear on the body, so he must continue to increase speed to reach his ideal maximum speed while his physical strength remains at its peak during these three seconds!

At this moment, his psychological state had already entered a state known as flow.

Everything around seemed to cease to exist; the entire world only consisted of himself and the task he was currently performing.

His eyes slightly closed, relying only on his remaining Five Senses to perceive the road ahead.

This dark visual state allowed him to focus more on his body, stimulating his physical functions to continue reaching their peak.

He employed all techniques he had mastered nowadays to stimulate physical functions, including Extraordinary Perception Ability, slowing the perception of time flow by more than ten times, allowing him only to increase speed by about 0.01 Mach.

This is because, under the interference of wind resistance, the faster the running speed, the more difficult it is to increase speed.

Take cycling as an example, a normal road bike riding on a flat road, trying to increase speed from forty-five kilometers per hour to fifty kilometers per hour will consume more power than increasing from zero to forty-five kilometers per hour.

That is because the interference of wind resistance becomes stronger as speed increases, making it difficult to continue increasing after reaching a certain point, both for humans and vehicles, even a fighter jet after reaching a certain speed, cannot increase anymore, no matter how much power is added, speed cannot be increased even a bit. Thus at Wang Ye’s speed, each small speed increase might cause him to be exhausted.

Wang Ye was seen gritting his teeth, his skin gradually turned crimson, blood surged swiftly in his veins, roaring like an engine. His legs broke through airflow at supersonic speed, each step created vibrations that could shatter the eardrum.

A faint airwave formed in front of him, and since Wang Ye’s body was not streamlined, the shape of this wave was irregular, like a pond rippled by stones,

Each arm swing, each knee lift from Wang Ye would shatter the airwave, but soon the wave would reassemble, sticking close in front of him, like a membrane hindering further speed increase.

But Wang Ye could clearly feel that if he broke through this membrane, his speed would drastically improve, possibly even breaking the sound barrier! Surpassing supersonic speed!

As his speed continued to increase, his eyeballs seemed subject to intense pressure. Despite a layer of Gang Qi protecting outside the eyeball, Gang Qi is not omnipotent; it can only absorb at most 99% of impact, leaving the remaining 1% to be borne by the eyeball. Naturally, the body’s most fragile eyeball first felt the pressure.

However, this was only the beginning. If Wang Ye continued to increase speed, not only would his eyeballs feel more incredible pressure, but all parts of his body would start to ache, like suffering a beating.

Wang Ye did not hesitate to concentrate the remaining Gang Qi to protect his eyeballs,

This barely reduced the pain in his eyes just a little.

Wang Ye continued to accelerate, his step frequency once elevated to six hundred per minute.

And stride length also increased to a higher level.

In this reckless acceleration mode, his speed gradually surpassed 0.5 Mach.

It increased to 0.6 Mach.

At the same time, the Gang Qi on various parts of his body began to gradually shatter, subtle bruising appeared visibly on his body, and his eyeballs swelled up red.

But Wang Ye did not slow down because, given his current recovery speed, these injuries were merely minor.

He dared to recklessly exchange extreme speed with bodily damage precisely because he possesses the ability to recover from severe injuries in a short period.

As multiple bones in his body appeared fractures, emitting crisp sounds.

His speed continued to increase to 0.7 Mach...

0.71 Mach.

0.72 Mach,

0.75 Mach...

Finally.

Before he was exhausted, his speed surged to 0.8 Mach.

But after breaking this speed, his physical condition quickly deteriorated.

Speed suddenly plummeted to below 0.4 Mach.

Yet Wang Ye’s eyes didn’t show dejection, but only boundless joy.

After reducing speed, the injuries that appeared due to breaking the limit speed on Wang Ye’s body rapidly recovered. Those fractures, breaks, bruises, and even certain tissues crushed due to high wind pressure all began healing visibly quickly,

Upon perceiving the injuries starting to heal, Wang Ye did not stop but continued maintaining this speed,

Running toward the gang’s territory.

As the gang’s base had changed locations, he needed to run an extra ten kilometers to reach the gang’s territory.

Fortunately, his present speed was already sufficiently fast, covering this ten-kilometer distance would only take him several minutes.
