Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 95: Comprehending the Bone-Piercing Needle!
If he can use small pebbles to hit agile fish underwater.
Then once he’s back in the air, his throwing might might really rival bullets.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye took off his clothes and changed into that still damp swimsuit.
Then with a "plop," he leaped into the lake.
Because Wang Ye’s immune system and skin resilience now far surpass those of ordinary people, common parasites and leeches can hardly harm him, and the bacteria in the water find it difficult to invade his body.
Exaggerating a bit, as long as Wang Ye doesn’t mind the filth, even if he dives into a cesspool, he wouldn’t get infected by any virus or parasite.
Wang Ye swam a few meters down and reached the lake’s bottom.
The surrounding fish were startled by him, swimming away in all directions.
Wang Ye curled up and flipped over, barely standing on the soft soil.
The rippling lake water made it hard for him to maintain balance. This was because his body was too light, preventing his feet from rooting in the soil at the bottom.
Wang Ye’s body swayed back and forth continuously using his core muscles to barely maintain stability.
Then, he took out a steel nail from his swimsuit pocket.
Preparing to attempt his first underwater throw.
Wang Ye raised his right hand behind his ear and with a "whoosh," flung the steel nail out. Numerous milky bubbles scattered along the arc of his swing, showing how terrifying the power of his swing was.
But the steel nail flew only a little over a meter before it completely lost momentum, sinking downwards.
And Wang Ye also lost balance due to his extensive arm movements, falling backward directly.
"Sure enough, it’s a bit difficult."
Wang Ye exerted some effort to return to a standing position.
He took out the steel nail again, starting to explore the technique of underwater throwing.
But the result remained the same — the effective range of each throw hovered around one meter, and after each throw, he would lose balance for a time.
But Wang Ye, with countless marathon training experiences, had a will forged as resilient as steel; this little difficulty wouldn’t affect his mindset at all.
Wang Ye picked up the steel nail again and again, training underwater throwing.
When he was out of breath, he would swim ashore, breathe for half a minute, then return to the underwater for continued training.
As time passed, his range was slowly and gradually extending.
After countless explorations.
Wang Ye gradually realized – to explosively exert quick, accurate, and fierce power underwater, he must follow the flow of the water, meticulously avoiding excess resistance.
Wherever the water flows, that’s where he must throw.
Moreover, his hand movements should be minimized, while maintaining the optimal line of force in posture to avoid wasting additional strength.
Only, he couldn’t completely understand these techniques in a short amount of time, he merely knew the theory.
To exert the power within theory, he could only gradually explore the tips through repeated underwater throws.
As Wang Ye focused on training, the progress of his throwing skill proficiency seemed to have doubled in speed, skyrocketing like a rocket.
If he originally increased proficiency by 0.1% with one throw ashore. Now underwater, each throw increased proficiency by 0.6%. Although the time and energy cost per training increased, the efficiency improved by more than double!

About five hours passed.
The evening glow appeared on the horizon.
Wang Ye’s underwater visibility began to reduce.
Initially, he could use the slightest sunlight filtering through to see things.
Now with the night deepening, the lake’s bottom plunged into complete darkness.
Yet Wang Ye continued to focus on training his throwing.
By now, his effective throwing range had increased from one meter to over two meters.
The power was visibly much stronger.
If there were a professional present, they would be amazed to discover that Wang Ye’s seemingly simple underwater throws actually contained many exquisite obstruction-avoidance techniques and short-range explosive methods. Even every stroke of his was guiding the water flow to form a spiral water current, reducing resistance to the target.
Suddenly.
Wang Ye’s movements paused.
He looked towards the attribute panel emitting a faint glow in front of him.
"The skill leveled up."
[Throwing lv5 (0.1%)]
[Traits: Bone-Piercing Needle — Penetration Power increased by 10%]
At the instant of skill improvement, countless insights about throwing flooded into Wang Ye’s brain.
Wang Ye shook his arm slightly underwater.
Finding that his movement resistance suddenly decreased significantly.
His swimming speed also increased by about ten percent.
Realizing this, Wang Ye’s eyes widened immediately, exposing a look of astonishment, "Is this... a trait that directly affects the outcome? In other words, having gained this trait, I can enhance penetration power by ten percent in whatever I do and reduce the resistance of movements."
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Wang Ye picked up a steel nail and gently threw it out.
To his surprise, the steel nail erupted with powerful kinetic energy, flying over three meters away.
Bear in mind, half a minute ago at full effort, he could only throw over two meters.
This leap in growth was simply astonishing!
"As expected!"
After testing the extent of his improvement, Wang Ye picked up the steel nails scattered at the bottom and swam to the surface.
He was just about to change into casual clothes when he saw a few carp swimming in the bottom and suddenly felt interested.
"I’m kind of hungry, how about I catch a few and roast them?"
After doing some preparation, Wang Ye plunged back into the lake, clutching two steel nails in his hand.
After awakening the Bone-Piercing Needle skill, his underwater effective range increased to three, even four meters. Within three meters, he could easily use steel nails to pierce through a river fish. The short-range throw speed was exceptionally fast, akin to an underwater spear gun. Except without a trigger barb, he was now practically a human spear gun.
Wang Ye quietly approached five or six carp, and upon close inspection, one could find the end of the steel nail linked by a over-two-meter-long plastic cord to his wrist. This configuration allowed him to retrieve it back using the cord after hitting the carp.
His left hand lightly skimmed the water to maintain his body balance, while his right hand slowly and rhythmically stirred the water, trying to form a low-resistance space in front. Once the water momentum formed, he suddenly instigated the Bone-Piercing Needle force, instantly launching out the steel nail.
Splash!
In an instant, the water flow danced wildly, faintly presenting a pale vortex underwater. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Those five or six carp were startled, scattering away to escape.
