A trump card?

The recorded data is already so formidable, and yet there might still be a trump card?

Just how strong does Wang Ye need to be?

But this speculation isn’t without reason. Wang Ye’s strength wasn’t attained overnight,

yet it was only seven days ago that they first learned of Wang Ye’s extraordinary abilities,

indicating that Wang Ye is indeed very skilled at hiding,

even concealing his abilities from the world for so long.

It’s known that showing off is a fundamental instinct of humans and all living beings. No matter how strong one’s self-control is, it’s impossible to hide one’s strength for long,

yet Wang Ye has endured humiliation and kept his strength tightly concealed for so long.

With this kind of hiding ability, having a few more trump cards isn’t out of the question.

However,

despite this,

most people present still don’t have high hopes for Wang Ye,

after all, Wang Ye is facing ten J20s.

It’s no exaggeration to say that,

with the payload and maneuverability of ten J20s, they could destroy a town within half a minute. Combined with their Mach 2 speed, aside from similar fifth-generation fighters or the sixth- and seventh-generation fighters not yet developed, there is practically no way to stop the missile drops from the J20 in the air.

Wang Ye is strong, but his maximum speed is just over Mach 1, and his cruising time is only three minutes. His main area of activity is still on land—how could he fight against ten J20s?

The only shortcoming of the J20,

might be that most of its configurations are primarily designed for aerial combat.

That is, air-to-air warfare,

using radar and infrared to target enemy planes and engage in strategic combat.

Therefore, arranging for ten J20s to battle a unit like Wang Ye, who can’t be detected by radar,

is somewhat unreasonable.

But even so, with one J20 weighing eleven tons of payload, its sheer firepower can destroy many land units on a large scale—this is the dominant combat power of modern military technology. Even without the aid of radar and infrared targeting systems, just relying on the manual aiming of the pilot can easily eliminate targets over a large area on land.

The ten J20s continued low-altitude drift in the air,

the deafening dragon roar enough to make an ordinary person’s heart ache,

fortunately, the officers watching weren’t close to the battlefield,

otherwise, their eardrums would be painfully rattled by the sound.

At this moment, Wang Ye maintained supersonic running speed as he leaped off the ground.

Continuing his supersonic speed, he raced through the air.

He was like a pitch-black meteor streaking across the vast wilderness at supersonic speeds.

Landing on the ground, he would stomp a giant crater into it,

then continue to run and accelerate,

boosting his speed to 1.2 Mach before jumping again.

Throughout this process, he didn’t use Flying Skill to extend his hang time. He relied purely on the inertia brought by raw strength, moving through the air in a parabolic trajectory.

This is because, at the moment, he didn’t want the military to know about the skill of flying, it was one of his trump cards, as well as the abilities of Creation Skill and Laser Eyes, which he also didn’t want to reveal—these were his deepest trump cards, and he wouldn’t use them unless absolutely necessary.

And this combat simulation clearly wasn’t the time for desperate measures; even if he lost, it wouldn’t have any impact.

But, he wanted to win.

Moreover, he wanted to use the abilities he was currently showcasing

to secure victory in front of everyone.

Wang Ye’s eyes fixed on the ten J20s ten kilometers away.

He continued to stimulate his digestive system, processing more uranium elements.

In an instant, endless energy surged into every corner of his body.

The damage caused by supersonic running, like bone fractures, torn muscle fibers, and friction burns on the skin, healed instantaneously.

And his running speed increased slightly once more.

He slowly raised his gaze, his eyes emitting a brilliant blue glow.

Everyone knew his supersonic running could only last three minutes.

But they didn’t know the reason he could only run for three minutes was due to insufficient energy.

If enough energy was available, three minutes would be nothing—he could go for three hours without a problem.

It’s known that he started his career with marathons.

Furthermore, his maximum speed wasn’t limited to Mach 1. The most formidable point of his metabolic function was that as long as there was enough energy, and the body could withstand lactic acid, he could develop indefinitely.

··························

Wang Ye kept running,

with two or three leaps, the distance between him and the ten J20s,

shrunk from over ten kilometers to within two kilometers.

Meanwhile, a pilot in one of the J20s observed a small, fast-moving dot on the ground through thermal imaging and immediately said:

"The target is approaching, increase distance."

"Understood."

As soon as the words fell, the ten J20s soaring side by side rapidly split apart,

and began flying in all directions.

During a medical check seven days ago, it was discovered that Wang Ye’s body temperature rises significantly during physical activity, and even the temperature of the surrounding area spikes beyond 100 degrees Celsius. Hence, these ten pilots primarily used thermal sensing to locate Wang Ye.

But this sensing method also has a drawback; the range is too short.

When you see the target, the distance between you and the target is reduced to just two kilometers.

Two kilometers, for both supersonic jets and Wang Ye,

can be easily crossed in less than ten seconds.

From this, it’s evident that this battle is also a severe test of the psychological fortitude of the J20 pilots,

they need to constantly be aware of the situations on the ground and in the air, and act immediately upon targeting.

After the J20s increased their distance, they did not immediately aim at Wang Ye to fire missiles.

Instead, they continued to maneuver swiftly in the air, maintaining a safe distance of three kilometers from Wang Ye, which seemed a bit showy.

But in fact, this wasn’t showing off—it was a strategy based on statistical data known to them,

Wang Ye’s mobility is remarkable. Although his maximum speed is not high, he can execute incredibly precise turns during movement, and his Five Senses are very sharp, able to detect subtle movements from ten to thirty kilometers away. If they were to fire missiles at Wang Ye in his current state, he would deftly dodge them, wasting ammunition.

In this kind of battle, every piece of ammo is incredibly important.

Wasting just one piece of ammo results in missing an opportunity.

So they absolutely can’t launch ammo during Wang Ye’s supersonic sprint.

But the good news is, Wang Ye can only sustain supersonic speed for three minutes.

The J20, however, can maintain supersonic cruise for over thirty minutes, far exceeding Wang Ye’s cruising time.

They just need to keep their distance from Wang Ye and wait—once those three minutes are up, and Wang Ye is wholly exhausted, that’s when they’ll strike.

Meanwhile, in the conference room, an air force officer couldn’t help but grin while observing the situation on the screen, saying, "Well done. It seems my subordinates still stand a good chance of winning."

"Sigh, why is Wang Ye being so foolish? He knows his speed and cruising time are no match for the J20, and yet he’s naively engaging in a chase."

"Moreover, his body temperature rises sharply right from the start of his movement, causing the surrounding environment to heat up, thus exposing his location. The correct move should be to stealthily approach the J20 by leveraging his concealment advantage and then taking a decisive shot."

"Indeed, though fighters are powerful, their reconnaissance capabilities are obviously not as keen as Wang Ye’s, whose senses are extraordinarily sharp. He could have a fair chance of victory if he would leverage this advantage."

"I really don’t know what he’s thinking."

"Initially, we thought he was a good combat force, but it turns out he’s just a newbie in combat."

"Actually, he’s not even a newbie; his adaptability is terrible..."

The surrounding officers all shook their heads regretfully, believing this battle would be more exciting. Now it seems Wang Ye is bound to lose.
