Chapter 217 Breaking the Speed of Sound, Extreme Flight
Fang Cheng stood quietly in this peaceful morning exercise area.

The green shadows all around swayed and rustled.

The whole forest seemed to be swaying gently and whispering in the breeze.

The grass on the ground was covered with crystal clear dewdrops, sparkling with tiny glimmers in the morning light.

Fang Cheng held his breath, slightly bent his knees, and like a strong bow ready to be fired, he quietly gathered all his strength.

His eyes were fixed on the front, as if there was an invisible and powerful enemy there.

Call ~
A breeze brushed across my cheek, bringing with it a hint of the fresh scent unique to the mountains and forests.

Suddenly, Fang Cheng's eyes lit up, he pushed the ground with his right foot, and leaped out with his left foot.

The whole body suddenly loosened like a loom that was tightened to the limit, and the strong wind instantly blew away the dewdrops around it.

His right arm swung out with tremendous force, and his fist was like a cannonball, tearing through the air and whizzing forward.

The speed of this punch was so fast that it exceeded the shackles of the speed of sound.

The air is extremely compressed in a very short time, forming a transparent shock wave that is almost visible to the naked eye at the front of the fist.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang"!
It was like a sudden thunderclap that shook all the leaves around.

Countless dewdrops were shaken into smaller droplets by the sudden loud noise and rolled down.

There were tiny flashes of light in the air all of a sudden, as if it was a dreamy crystal rain, which was beautiful yet thrilling.

The aftermath of the sonic boom continued to reverberate, instantly spreading throughout the park and woods, startling the birds perched on the branches.

They flapped their wings and chirped in panic, further breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

Before the loud noise faded, Fang Cheng's right arm retracted, and his left arm followed like a phantom.

It stabbed out at the same astonishing speed, so fast that people didn't have time to blink.

The strong wind created by this jab was like a high-speed rotating blade, shattering the air in its path.

Xiu Xiu Xi—— Xiu Xiu Xi——

Fang Cheng's arms retracted and stretched out like lightning, and he threw several consecutive jabs into the air in front of him.

The sharp whistling fist winds, intertwined with the endless sonic booms, sounded like a violent war song.

Although it was not as loud as the previous charged attack, it still had the same deterrent power that made the spectators feel thrilling.

His fists attacked alternately, like a madly firing machine gun, and each swing left a blurry afterimage in the air.

The surrounding grass was crushed to the ground by the howling wind, as if it was also surrendering and marveling at the speed and explosive power that exceeded human limits.

Snapped!
Fang Cheng stopped and withdrew from the fierce battle in an instant.

The air around was surging, and the aftereffects of the whistling fist wind could still be vaguely felt.

The ground beneath my feet was exposed to yellow-brown soil, and with myself as the center, the scene looked like it had been swept by a storm.

The fallen leaves that originally covered the ground were now all blown up and swirling in the air.

It was like a group of golden butterflies fluttering in the air, slowly falling down after a long time.

It erupted in just a few seconds, creating such an astonishing noise that naturally attracted the attention of those who were doing morning exercises nearby.

After a while, the sounds of footsteps and voices came intermittently from far away.

Fang Cheng quickly put on his clothes and pants, then slowly stretched his arms and did chest expansion exercises.

He pretended to look around with the same curiosity, as if he was also looking for the "culprit" who made the noise and disturbed the morning tranquility.

After those who came following the sound gradually dispersed, Fang Cheng's eyes sank slightly, and he showed excitement again.

He lowered his head and looked at his red fists, which still retained the heat from the intense friction with the air.

Fang Cheng knew very well what this meant.

That is the residual warmth of power, and also the testimony of the physical body breaking through the biological limits and moving towards a higher peak.

From a scientific point of view, the speed of sound propagation in the air is about 340 meters per second. When the speed of an object exceeds this value, it will break through the sound barrier and produce a strong sonic boom.

The moment Fang Cheng threw the punch, he squeezed the air in front of him extremely hard, forming a shock wave visible to the naked eye. The loud noise that followed was like thunderclapping out of the blue, shocking all the surrounding grass and trees.

This is similar to the principle of a bullet flying at supersonic speed.

When a bullet is fired from a gun, it instantly gains an extremely high speed due to the powerful thrust generated by the explosion of gunpowder, breaking through the sound barrier. The sharp whistling sound is a manifestation of a sonic boom.

However, bullets rely on the mechanical force provided by firearms, while he relies on his own well-tempered physique.

Of course, Fang Cheng was also very clear that it was not easy for the human body to withstand this explosive force that exceeded the biological limits.

Because every time the fist strikes at supersonic speed, the pressure on the body is extremely enormous.

As the framework supporting the body, bones must first withstand the powerful impact force of an instantaneous burst. This requires bones to have extraordinary strength and toughness, otherwise they are very likely to fracture.

During the process of high-speed contraction and relaxation, muscle tissue not only has to provide power, but also has to deal with the pulling caused by the reaction of force. It is like a rubber band stretched to its limit and is at risk of breaking at any time.

In addition, internal organs will also be affected. Strong vibrations are transmitted through the body and may cause internal organs to shift or be damaged, leading to serious consequences such as vomiting blood and dizziness.

Just like if a missile or other aircraft wants to break the sound barrier, the material problem must be solved first.

The shock waves generated by the sound barrier will exert tremendous pressure on the surface of the aircraft, and ordinary materials will be deformed and torn instantly.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop special alloys with high strength, high temperature resistance and impact resistance to ensure the structural integrity of the aircraft so that it can safely cross the sound barrier.

Going further up, breaking through the thermal barrier and black barrier, the requirements for materials are extremely stringent. The high temperature generated by the intense friction with the air can soften and melt the metal and swallow everything.

At this moment, Fang Cheng closed his eyes slightly, carefully feeling the real sonic boom effect that had just occurred.

Fortunately, my burst of energy was only for a few seconds, and the distance of my punch was very short, so the burden on my body was relatively small.

Even so.

If your physical fitness does not reach the key indicator of 40 points, and you only rely on strength and agility attributes to force a burst of energy, the consequences will be unpredictable.

I'm afraid that the bones and muscles will be crushed in the instant of punching, and will not be able to withstand the overwhelming impact force.

As a carbon-based organism, the human body has a natural limit to its tolerance. Without strong physical support, every high-intensity exertion is like overdrawing one's own life source.

Take the lightest and most agile jab for example. Fang Cheng's punch was delivered at about the speed of sound, which is about the same as a bullet fired from an ordinary pistol.

After accumulating energy, the punch that bursts out with all his strength should have exceeded the speed of sound by much more.

Like a real cannonball, it makes a shocking sound wherever it goes.

If strength is erupting gunpowder, it provides powerful firepower support to defeat the opponent.

Agility is the expansion of stretching, giving the body a more flexible and quicker response ability.

Then, physical fitness is the basis for ensuring the normal functioning of various organs and tissues, and is the key to building human weapons.

Feeling the super explosive power brought about by his physical body breaking through its limits, Fang Cheng couldn't help but feel fortunate again for how wise his training strategy was that prioritized improving his physical fitness.

The park in the woods returned to its tranquility, with the melodious chirping of birds rising one after another, as if playing a good morning song.

Fang Cheng then stood in horse stance, using breathing techniques to regulate his internal organs and relieve muscle fatigue.

After practicing Qigong for a while, he ended this short morning exercise that lasted about an hour. In the mottled shade of the trees, Fang Cheng's eyes sparkled as he looked at the panel, checking the experience points he had gained and the degree of improvement in various skills.

When I saw the two skills of "handstand push-up" and "leg raise", my eyes couldn't help but flash slightly.

You know, after the agility attribute exceeds 40 points, not only the body's movement speed is greatly improved, but also flexibility, balance and body control are greatly enhanced.

Then the corresponding air-staying ability should also be improved to a certain extent, right?

While pondering this, Fang Cheng glanced at the sports watch on his wrist.

In the sunlight, the dial clearly displays the current time, number of steps, heart rate, exercise distance, average speed and other numbers.

Looking at the constantly jumping sports data, Fang Cheng whispered to himself:
"Do you want to try again?"

Looking up and around, it is now past seven o'clock, and the number of people doing morning exercises is obviously increasing.

The originally quiet forest path was now and then filled with people passing by, some jogging, some walking.

There were also people walking towards the park, obviously they were also fitness enthusiasts who came here specifically to exercise.

Fang Cheng frowned slightly and decided to find a more secluded place.

His eyes quickly swept around, looking deep into the woods, searching for a more suitable place.

I found that the higher I went, the denser the trees became and the steeper the road became.

I guess there would be fewer people jogging in the morning near the top of the mountain.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng immediately walked out of the park.

I passed by a few fitness enthusiasts, then jogged along the stone path towards the top of the mountain.

It took less than ten minutes for Fang Cheng to quickly find an excellent venue that was suitable for testing capabilities.

This is the edge of the woods at the neck of the mountain. A few steps forward is a steep cliff.

Judging from the visual distance, the relatively flat area at the bottom of the slope is about thirty to forty meters high.

Standing on it and looking into the distance, you can almost see half of Yulong Lake.

The wide lake shimmered in the sunlight, like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky and surrounding mountains.

There are some people running by the lake. Their tiny figures are like moving black dots, blending into the vast scenery of lakes and mountains.

Fang Cheng withdrew his gaze, stood on the edge of the cliff, and looked down.

The cliff is more than 30 meters high, which is at least as high as an eleven-story building.

This height has actually already exceeded the limit of his own high-altitude jumping.

However, Fang Cheng can also use his ability to stay in the air, which is far superior to that of ordinary people, to buffer his descent speed, thereby gaining more time to adjust his posture in the air and land safely.

Moreover, the cliff is not completely vertical. If you encounter uncontrollable danger, you can rely on the strength of your limbs, grab the cracks in the rocks, and slow down forcibly.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng once again looked up at Yulong Lake in the distance.

The broad view and the sparkling lake seem to inject endless strength into one's heart.

Then take a deep breath and exhale slowly, letting all distracting thoughts out of your body.

Fang Cheng raised his wrist and set the sports watch to timing mode.

Then he moved his limbs and adjusted his body condition and standing posture.

Feeling the solidity of the ground beneath his feet, he bent his knees slightly and half-crouched like a cheetah ready to pounce.

His eyes were fixed on the landing point below, and his brain was working rapidly to calculate the best jumping angle and strength.

After a moment, Fang Cheng's eyes focused, and with an indomitable momentum, he leaped towards the bottom of the cliff.

The legs are like a pair of powerful springs, instantly launching the body into the air, drawing a parabola.

When it was about to reach the highest point, Fang Cheng immediately reached out and pressed the timer on his sports watch.

A gust of wind blew from behind, as if gently lifting the body up, causing a moment of stagnation.

Fang Cheng twisted his waist and abdomen, tensing all the muscles in his body to fight against gravity, trying to prolong this feeling of weightlessness as long as possible.

At this moment, everything around seemed to be still, only the heartbeat in the body echoed strongly in the ears.

Puff, puff.

At the same moment, Fang Cheng suddenly felt a subtle change in the airflow.

The airflow turned into a pair of invisible hands, gently pushing his body, trying to help him continue moving forward in the air.

The wind direction seems to be perfectly matched with one's own posture and direction of force.

At this moment, Fang Cheng felt that he had become one with the wind and felt an unprecedented sense of harmony.

As an idea flashed through his mind, Fang Cheng immediately decided to follow his own feelings and use the precious time in the air to adjust his body posture again.

His arms were slightly open, like a bird spreading its wings, trying to find the best balance point.

Then just blend into the wind, following the direction of the airflow, fighting against the pull of gravity while trying to move the body forward during the descent.

The sound of the wind whistled continuously into my ears, and the whole world seemed to be tilting downward at a strange angle.

Fang Cheng, however, was like an athlete participating in wing suit flying, gliding forward along the direction of the wind.

My heartbeat accelerated rapidly, my clothes and hair were rustling in the wind, and the air flow was like a surging tide, sweeping me in wave after wave.

As if dancing with the wind, Fang Cheng stretched his body as far as possible, keenly capturing every movement of the airflow. Relying on his super strong ability to stay in the air, he found a glimmer of hope in the violent airflow like a tide.

Every time he skillfully adjusted his posture and continued to glide for a certain distance, Fang Cheng experienced more deeply the freedom of breaking free from constraints and enjoyed the ultimate pleasure of flying.

As the whole person walked along the steep slope below the cliff, a long arc was drawn.

We then passed through the dense forest and got closer and closer to the ground.

The body also becomes heavy again from a light state, and the speed of free fall becomes faster and faster.

Fang Cheng waved his arms slightly like wings, trying to meet the coming impact with the most perfect posture.

boom!
Fortunately, the force of landing was not too great.

Following the momentum, Fang Cheng jogged forward a few steps on the grass to cushion the impact, then stood firmly.

"call--"

The foul air that was trapped in the chest was exhaled slowly.

Fang Cheng clenched his fists and felt the sweat oozing from his palms, which was the product of tension and excitement.

I calmed down and looked at the sports watch that had stopped when I landed.

This jump from a height of more than 8.4 meters lasted for about seconds in the air.

I turned around and looked up at the cliff where I had just jumped off. The distance from the top to where I was standing now was a staggering 116 meters.
