Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 276 - 234: A Hasty Response and Netizens’ Doubts

Just like skateboarding, many people can start with basic gliding as soon as they get the hang of it.

But there’s also a large group of people who, no matter how hard they try, can’t stand properly on a skateboard. After a short glide, they feel a splitting headache and even weak legs, causing them to fall.

These people often need to train for a long time to gradually get used to sports like skateboarding or surfing. Practicing fancy techniques is even more challenging; they need to put in several times the effort as others to barely accomplish the same moves.

This is because the amygdala in their brains can handle less stimulation. These people also have poorer balance and can easily fall off when standing on a narrow bridge. They need to undergo a period of desensitization training, reducing the sensitivity of the amygdala to adapt to such an unstable environment.

Wang Ye prides himself on having climbed countless peaks and challenged countless extreme sports by now.

Plus, the system has evolved his brain, compensating for his shortcomings.

When it comes to balance, his talent shouldn’t be lacking, no matter what.

Hiss!

As Jeff started the simulated surfing machine with a remote control, a large amount of water was sprayed out. Because of the high flow speed, it mixed with many white bubbles, looking like waterfall creek water.

In fact, aside from this way of creating "waves," another method is to use the jet pump blades at the tail of a speedboat to rotate and shoot out a jet stream, simulating white waves sufficient to let the surfboard fly. This type of surfing is also known as wake surfing, a recent popular surfing activity that can be enjoyed even on calm rivers and lakes. However, it’s very pricey, costing over a thousand yuan per hour, almost comparable to the price of a wind tunnel.

In comparison, indoor surfing is much cheaper, and the size of the waves is similar. The only difference is that indoor surfing can’t capture the speed and relative wind blowing against you that you experience outdoors, making the realism slightly inferior.

Of course, to get the best realism, you still have to go to a real bay to surf real big waves.

These simulated surfing activities, with their lower excitement and danger, are ultimately considered subpar play styles, primarily targeting people who have never been exposed to surfing but want to experience it once.

Jeff grabbed the board and first demonstrated the standard movements to Wang Ye.

He placed the board in the turbulent water, and his feet immediately stood on it. His stance wasn’t straight; both his knees and hips were slightly bent, with his feet shoulder-width apart, and his arms slightly raised to quickly adjust his balance.

As he stood up, the surfboard dynamics were still a bit unstable, like stepping on a floor slathered with lubricant, extremely slippery. However, after shifting his center of gravity back and forth a few times, the surfboard gradually stabilized.

He stabilized his balance while narrating the key points amidst some jargon that Wang Ye didn’t understand.

After all, Wang Ye’s English level was only about level four. He could barely communicate with foreigners, which was already impressive, but once professional topics came up, he easily got confused. So, anytime Wang Ye heard some jargon he didn’t understand, he would immediately wave his hand to stop and carefully inquire about the term’s meaning.

Unfortunately, the language skill doesn’t seem to be recognized by the system.

Otherwise, Wang Ye could quickly master multiple languages.

"The basic center-of-gravity shifting techniques are pretty much these, try it yourself," Jeff returned to the shore and tossed the surfboard over to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye nodded, grasped the surfboard with both hands, and laid it flat in the rushing water.

Then, following the movements he remembered, he jumped onto it.

Hiss—

The rapidly flowing water made the surfboard shake continuously.

Like standing on a constantly swaying suspension bridge. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

According to Jeff’s instruction, the fundamental reason for the surfboard’s shake lies in incorrect posture; if the body isn’t perpendicular to the surfboard, it will cause shaking. Solving this issue is simple, just quickly press your center of gravity in the opposite direction of the board’s shake, which heavily tests the surfer’s reaction speed.

Initially, Wang Ye was a bit unaccustomed, almost falling several times.

But because his reaction speed was simply too fast, every time he was about to fall, he would immediately activate Super Sensing, using his strong core muscles to pull his body back in tenfold slow motion.

So to others, each time he was about to fall, he would inexplicably stabilize his balance in the next moment, like an untippable doll.

Such a quick correction of balance, even seasoned surfers probably couldn’t achieve this.

Jeff watched in amazement, smoking and muttering to himself, "I’ve never seen a student like you."

Gradually, Wang Ye began to grasp the knack of stabilizing his balance,

His ten times more efficient brain possessed excellent adaptability in any harsh environment.

His subconscious quickly adapted to the unstable surfboard environment,

and Wang Ye’s movements visibly became more coordinated.

Just over ten seconds ago, he was still the novice who wobbled just standing on the board.

Over ten seconds later, he could move effortlessly and freely on the surfboard.

A slight forward lean and the board would move forward.

And a slight backward lean made the board move back.
