Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

Wei Xiao immediately signaled to the follower next to him, who immediately took out his cell phone. Soon his expression changed and his voice trembled.

"This... is actually true?!"

He found the video that Kusakabe Kagami uploaded to the Internet. Although the clarity was not high, judging from the angle of the pond surface, it was completely consistent with the boy in front of him.

There are websites on the Internet that specialize in collecting information about the Swordsmen. As long as you visit these websites, you can probably find the information you want.

At this moment, everyone present was frightened by him.

Stella looked around.

Everyone present's attention was drawn to Jiang Li, and no one paid attention to the group of hostages.

Xijing Ningyin seemed to give a thumbs-up implicitly, expressing that his junior brother was awesome.

Stella also retreated silently without disturbing anyone, leaving the situation to Jiang Li to handle, but she was also on standby at all times, ready to respond to him.

"Ha...So what if I defeated the former world number three? I have the ability to reflex—"

"I'm educated. You obviously can't fool me with your elementary school level."

When the smiling face gradually became stiff, Jiang Li spoke again.

"Reflection isn't a technique that can be activated constantly. It won't be activated passively when facing an enemy. It's an active ability that must be activated proactively to be effective—"

Most of the abilities related to sword-cutting are active abilities.

The ability of reflection cannot be used like Accelerator's superpower, where he places a reflective layer on his body and subconsciously reflects back any attack. There is no such method of use. You must think about actively activating it in order to activate it successfully.

When Jiang Li was lying in bed, he spent his time reading books. He knew the characteristics of the sword-cutting ability like the back of his hand, and a smile obviously couldn't fool him.

"Besides, how do you know that my speed won't be faster than the speed at which you activate your ability?"

Jiang Li's last words made Wei Xiao gradually lose her composure.

Faster than the speed of launching ability?

is it possible?

If the ability is really that powerful, wouldn't it be invincible?

Ninety percent of the swordsmen in this world must actively activate their abilities before they can launch an attack. If the enemy's attacks are always faster than the speed at which they activate their abilities, then wouldn't all attacks be stillborn?

If he could really do it...if he could make the bullet shoot out at an absolute speed before his ability was activated——then he would be dead!

In fact, Jiang Li's statement is certainly true——

But that's not entirely true.

The speed of launching ability - this speed does exist, but the speed of this speed depends on the speed of human nerve reaction.

The speed of nerve reaction varies according to each person's condition.

For an average person, it's around 0.3 seconds, and a trained sprinter can get it down to 0.15 seconds. However, humans have their limits, and no matter how much they train, they can't get it down to 0.1 seconds.

In other words, as long as Jiang Li can make an unavoidable attack within 0.1 seconds, he can most likely kill anyone with one blow - in fact, the lightning and flint move was created based on this principle.

But the concept of speed does not exist in isolation. It has always been linked to distance. Any discussion of speed without considering distance is considered hooliganism.

For example, if the distance between the enemy and Jiang Li is more than one thousand meters, even if Jiang Li increases his speed to the speed of sound, it will take at least two or three seconds to hit the enemy. In that time, the enemy would have reacted long ago.

Normally, Jiang Li would use his intuition to judge at what distance the lightning bolt would be best used. For example, in the battle with Shinguji Kurono, he launched the lightning bolt at a distance of less than five meters, surpassing her nerve reaction speed in one fell swoop.

So, there will definitely be people who will say, can’t the speed be further increased to five times or ten times the speed of sound, or even directly to the speed of light?

In that case, no matter what kind of enemy it is, it will be impossible to escape from his sword. Wouldn't he be truly invincible?

In this regard, Jiang Li could only say—

Doable, but not entirely feasible.

His absolute speed is definitely faster than the "opponent". This "opponent" itself is a concept and must be something that actually exists around him. Therefore, he cannot set something far away at the ends of the earth as the object of transcendence.

Fortunately, the set objects are not limited to people, but can also be sounds, lights, etc.

Driven by curiosity, Jiang Li once tried to set "light" as an object of transcendence.

But that time, his intuition gave him an unprecedentedly intense death warning, which made him subconsciously cancel the setting, and he never tried it again.

Facts have proved that Jiang Li's absolute speed can indeed be activated by targeting light.

But if you want to achieve corresponding speed, you must bear the corresponding consequences.

If nothing unexpected happens, once his speed becomes faster than light, he will be evaporated into plasma on the spot, without even a drop of blood or a cell left.

Chapter 44: Absolute Speed ​​Detailed Explanation

2023-06-01

Of course, with Jiang Li's current total amount of magic power, he is actually unable to achieve the speed of that level.

Some people may misunderstand that the ability of "Absolute Speed" is equivalent to "Absolute First Arrival", but this is not actually the case.

The essence of absolute speed is to make your own speed absolutely faster than the opponent.

But a little faster is fast, several times faster is also fast, and isn’t faster than the speed of light still fast?

Let's say the opponent's speed is 10.

If Jiang Li set his speed to 10.1, he would already be faster than the opponent, but there was no way that his attack would hit the opponent first.

But if Jiang Li set his speed to 100, he would still be faster than the opponent. Not to mention hitting the opponent first, he might have completely exceeded the opponent's reaction limit, and before the opponent could react, he would have been hit by his knife.

Therefore, absolute speed is by no means equivalent to absolute first arrival.

The degree to which the ability of absolute speed can increase the speed of oneself or an object depends on the amount of magic power Jiang Li himself has.

——In other words, the more magic power he has, the faster he can get and the longer he can maintain his super speed.

With his current F-level magic power, even if he poured all his magic power into one sword, the highest speed he could achieve in an instant would only be faster than the speed of sound.

Even if it is only increased to around the speed of sound, it will put a huge burden on his body and will cause him to enter a near-death state in an instant.

To increase one's speed to faster than light, one not only needs a body or protection that can remain safe and sound even at the speed of light, but also requires a vast amount of magic power - but such magic power simply does not exist in this world of the Fallen Knight.

Therefore, the conclusion is that Absolute Speed can greatly increase his lower speed limit, but the upper limit of speed depends on the amount of his magic power.

After years of thinking and exploration, Jiang Li has already come up with many different ways to use his absolute speed ability, some of which even have very strange side effects that make him extremely free.

But generally speaking, due to the limited magic power and fragile body, most of the moves have little chance of being realized.

The setting of the speed of light is undoubtedly a forbidden zone that he must never touch in his life.

…………

In the open-air square.

Under Jiang Li's threats, which were both real and fake, beads of sweat began to flow down his smiling face. He looked at the dark muzzle of the gun and felt that his life was no longer under his control.

The terrorists around also looked at each other, their faces under the masks becoming confused, not knowing how to react.

"Heh...heh, do you think...I will believe your nonsense?"

Wei Xiao's throat became extremely dry, as if there was a fire burning in his throat. He didn't dare to move and could only speak tentatively, his eyes fixed on the beautiful boy opposite him.

"You can give it a try."

"..."

Does he dare to try?

How can it be!

The other party's tone was so firm, his face was so cold, his eyes were so confident, and he also had a record of defeating the former third in the world. All of this made him dare not try it casually.

What if he dies while trying? Who will compensate him for his life?

Fortunately, he still has a way.

The reason why the other party did not take action now is probably because they are concerned about the hostages in their hands, so they dare not act rashly. As long as they use those hostages, they can still leave safely.

There is no hope of getting a ransom, but we can take advantage of the opportunity to steal some valuable treasures in the mall and sell them to earn money for the activity.

Kidnapping hostages for ransom is Rebellion's usual method of making money.

"...Actually, there's absolutely no reason for us to fight to the death. After all, even if you could kill me, it would be hard for all the hostages to survive, right?"

He barely controlled the muscles on his face, forcing a stiff smile.

"I understand. Let's each take a step back. We will evacuate from here, and the hostages will be--"

Take a few hostages away and release them when they have almost retreated.

That's what he was going to say.

"——Shōba Mizuren!"

But suddenly, a crisp sound of water waves shaking suddenly rang out.

At the same time, a stream of clear water rolled up from the ground and turned into a countercurrent waterfall, enveloping the group of about fifty hostages without leaving a single flaw, like a water lotus.

"Are there any other sword cutters?!"

The smile suddenly turned into tears.

"shot!!"

He gave the order to his men to shoot almost without hesitation.

The only things he could rely on were the hostages. As long as he held the lives of the hostages in his hands, he could still survive.

But now that the hostages are protected, the other party has no more concerns.

“Da da da da da—!”

In an instant, the sound of gunfire continued.

The muzzle of the gun, which was emitting flames, continuously fired bullets one after another, some of which were shot at the hostages wrapped in the water waves, and some were shot at Jiang Li——

When the soldiers thought this, they realized that Jiang Li had disappeared.

No, it didn't disappear.

Before Kurogane Jushizuku's voice rang out, he seemed to have anticipated the moment when the situation would change. He took a deep breath, supplying his heart and lungs with a huge amount of oxygen, greatly increasing their function.

This is an application of the ancient breathing method.

All swordsmen have extremely strong control over their bodies, which allows them to actively control the beat of their hearts.

Lowering your heart rate can slow down physical exertion, and strengthening your cardiopulmonary function can increase your physical explosive power.

This is a little trick Jiang Li learned from Dou Shen. It is not very useful for a swordsman at Dou Shen's level, but for someone like him with ordinary physical fitness, it is an extremely sharp skill.

Before Heitian Zhushizuku could warn him, Jiang Li intuitively sensed the best time to attack, and using this technique, he crouched like a cheetah and rushed out swiftly.

The soldiers hadn't reacted yet, and none of the bullets fell on him.

But it was only a matter of time for him to react to the more than ten assault rifles with an astonishing rate of fire. With his speed, even if he used the breathing method that exploded his physical energy, he would not be able to survive the siege of more than ten assault rifles.

It is true that if he used Lightning Flint, he could not only escape from more than ten assault rifles, but also defeat Smile in an instant, but in the absence of a regeneration chamber around, Jiang Li absolutely could not let himself fall into a near-death situation.

——However, there is another way to use Absolute Speed!

Jiang Li threw the assault rifle in his hand backwards.

At the same time, he exhausted all the magic power in his body and gave the thrown assault rifle the maximum initial velocity.

"Boom——!"

An extremely violent roar was heard, and layers of smoke rings appeared.

The thrown assault rifle instantly gained a speed far exceeding the speed of sound, making a deafening sonic boom and forming a violent storm in the entire open-air square!

The air exploded, turning into endless gusts of air that rolled endlessly, sweeping across the entire open-air square in the form of a storm.

"Whoa!"
