Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 257 - 224: Terrorists (2)

"Alright, stay safe and come back to the hotel early."

Ah Gui didn't think much of it. He shouldered his backpack and, along with his men, returned to the town.

··························

··························

At this moment, about four hundred meters across from Swallow Cave.

Seeing Wang Ye disperse his men and remain alone by Swallow Cave.

Carlos, who originally intended to return to town, suddenly became suspicious.

"What's he trying to do? Is he planning to stay here and continue his training?"

Carlos, who had already stood up, returned to the hidden slope he occupied earlier,

found a slightly cleaner spot on the ground, and lay down.

He restarted the recording function of his camera,

and aimed the camera at Wang Ye in the distance.

"I want to see how you train to achieve such terrifying physique and skills." Carlos narrowed his eyes, tightly focusing on Wang Ye in the distance.

Carlos was actually quite interested in how top athletes like Wang Ye trained.

Because every top athlete has their own training style.

And every training style has its rationale for existence and bears certain research value.

If he could glean any training ideas, it might even elevate his own abilities.

··························

··························

Shortly after Ah Gui and the others left.

Wang Ye stood up and entered the forested area.

He zipped up his jacket and tightened the cuffs.

Stretching his arms, shoulder blades, spine, and other parts.

As the sound of bone twisting crackled.

Then he closed his eyes, shutting out visual distractions.

He began to walk in the direction determined by his sense of smell and hearing.

With his sensory capabilities, he could probably identify the source of the chill.

He did not plan to evade but intended to head directly to where the assassin was.

Disarm them and eliminate the threat.

While forcing them to reveal who was behind the assassination attempt.

As Wang Ye moved closer and closer to the assassins in the forest, he gradually relied on his sense of smell and hearing to discern their distance and number,

"About three hundred meters away, southeast, five people, all men in their thirties. Smelling strongly of gunpowder and steel, likely guns and bullets, the guns smell over 70 centimeters long, the barrels not short, each person likely has a rifle..."

Wang Ye actually had little knowledge about firearms, having merely played some shooting games, with some understanding of the shapes of various guns. He could only judge the type of guns by their shapes.

For instance, sniper rifles usually have longer barrels for greater muzzle pressure and faster bullet speed, while regular rifles and machine guns are smaller and lighter for portability, with shorter barrels. Shotguns are more obvious, with larger calibers and thicker barrels for firing pellets.

The guns held by the terrorists seemingly preparing to assassinate Wang Ye in the distance were mid-long barrels similar to rifles.

"With my current defensive ability, I should be able to withstand several bullets, and given the current distance, the bullet's power should diminish considerably after losing momentum. However, to prevent anything unexpected, it's best to dodge if possible." Wang Ye slowly donned his hood to shield against the rain, keeping his eyes closed, maintaining a steady gait towards the gunmen.

As Wang Ye's distance decreased.

The assassins began to reveal anxious emotions,

with two of them even hastily conversing in Spanish.

Though Wang Ye could hear the sounds, he couldn't understand the language.

Soon, one of them succumbed to pressure, aimed at Wang Ye, and abruptly pulled the trigger.

Whoosh!!

Instantly.

A shrill whistling sound pierced through the air, followed closely by the deafening blast of a gunshot.

A black shadow streaked forth at nearly a thousand meters per second.

Wang Ye suddenly opened his eyes, his body swaying rapidly, effortlessly dodging the bullet.

The bullet grazed five centimeters past his right shoulder, striking a tree trunk behind him.

"Good, barely avoided!" A gleam of joy sparkled in Wang Ye's eyes. Although the bullet was astonishingly fast, his reflexes were sharp enough to instinctively activate Super Sensitivity and evade it.

In the tenth-of-a-second slowed perception of Super Sensitivity, the bullet appeared to move as slowly as a mosquito bloated with blood.

"Since I can dodge the first shot, dodging the second or third shouldn't be a problem." Wang Ye closed his eyes again, continuing to advance towards the terrorists.

··························

··························

At this moment. Carlos, holding his camera prepared to watch, suddenly shivered in fright.

"Damn, where did the gunshots come from?!! Could there be terrorists trying to assassinate Wang Ye?"

The gunshots had sounded so abruptly.

Carlos had paid no attention to what was happening over there.

He quickly raised his camera, intending to see what the earlier recording captured.

The camera footage showed Wang Ye donning his hood and calmly walking in a particular direction.

Suddenly, a thread-like black shadow flashed by, Wang Ye's body abruptly shifted left, narrowly avoiding the shadow. The gunfire followed from the camera, signifying the bullet's speed had exceeded the speed of sound.

However, what shocked Carlos the most—

Wang Ye managed...to dodge the bullet?

Carlos was completely dumbfounded.

Even though the video frame rate wasn't high, he could still discern how fast Wang Ye's movement was.

In mere milliseconds as the bullet passed by, Wang Ye's body reacted.

A body's movement or limb motion usually has a pronounced wind-up.

This phenomenon isn't exclusive to video game actions.

For instance, when a person raises their fist, there's definitely an action of pulling back the hand. Similarly, when a person prepares to jump, there's an action of squatting and contracting core muscles. These are the "wind-ups" of motion; if they omit these "wind-ups," their actions will lack full execution, leading to weaker force and slower speed.

Athletes can run faster and jump higher than ordinary people largely due to more substantial wind-up and greater action amplitude.

Observing elite long jump athletes, one would notice they compress their center of gravity very low and far back before jumping, also swinging their arms backward, adopting a preparatory jump stance.

Such actions stretch muscles to their limit, enabling them to exert greater explosive force, much like drawing a bowstring fully before firing.

Wang Ye's movements just now evidently required the contraction of various large muscle groups like core and thigh muscles. Normally, one needs to rely on legs pushing off the ground, abdomen contraction, combined with arm swing and fist clench for balance.

But Carlos's camera footage didn't show Wang Ye making any wind-up movements.

In an instant, he shifted to the left.

This meant Wang Ye executed his actions purely through instantaneous muscle contraction.

It's akin to jumping without bending the knees. Though managing a jump of barely ten centimeters, it won't be as high as a knee-bent jump, and the speed will be slower.

"Can he make such quick movements without preparation?" Carlos mused, "Is it luck or is it the effect of adrenaline?"

If it was luck, Wang Ye would be doomed by the second shot. If it's adrenaline, it wouldn't sustain much longer.
