Chapter 507 - 349: What the Hell Is That Noise? (2)

Boom!!!!

A torrent of air rushed towards him like a flood in the direction he was running.

A long trench was left behind him, as if harshly plowed through.

And a vacuum area created by the brute force of Wang Ye’s fleshly body.

But this vacuum area lasted only half a second before being backfilled by a massive stream of air.

Due to the speed at which his toenails scraped the ground, countless sparks and tiny flames remained in place. These sparks quickly vanished after appearing, but Wang Ye’s feet continued to scrape against the surface, producing a constant stream of sparks, looking quite intimidating.

Meanwhile.

Wang Ye continued to sprint forward at 200 meters per second. His legs moved at a speed exceeding ten times per second, with increasing wind resistance in front as countless grit struck his cheeks at the same speed, causing his skin to tingle slightly.

Thankfully, the Gang Qi served as a shield, absorbing the impact of the grit, preventing harm.

His running speed actually reached the peak from a month ago, which is subsonic speed, with his muscle strength exerted to the fullest. Yet, his speed seemed unable to further increase,

"No...something’s still not right..."

Wang Ye’s gaze was puzzled; he clearly felt his muscle strength had markedly improved from last month, so why couldn’t he break the sound barrier?

Is it really that difficult to go from subsonic to sonic speed?

Wang Ye’s spirits gradually sank, the rapid depletion of stamina indicating the imminent end of the test. His current stamina could barely sustain his body at maximum speed for about three minutes, beyond which he’d be forced to stop and rest.

Must wait for Divine Speed to further upgrade to achieve supersonic?

Wang Ye was discontent, "No! It’s still the muscles aren’t strong enough..."

"If the muscles are strong enough, they can generate sufficient thrust, breaking the sound barrier easily..."

"Since the current muscles aren’t adequate, then continue to grow!"

At this thought,

Wang Ye made up his mind and suddenly activated fermentation metabolism.

In an instant, a large chunk of stored energy and glucose within were consumed.

This fermentation capability, a special ability evolved at the end of last month, allows his muscles to rapidly expand in a short time, not that the muscle fibers truly strengthen, but rather due to carbon dioxide flooding the cells, providing a short-term boost.

Simultaneously, his muscle tissue began high-frequency movement, producing a large influx of carbon dioxide within muscle cells, causing the muscle volume to endlessly expand.

Additionally, a significant amount of byproduct lactic acid was secreted, causing noticeable side effects—his muscles felt sore and swollen as if enduring high-intensity activity for several days, and his mind grew incredibly drowsy.

Wang Ye activated Primordial Qi to flood his brain, instantly clearing the drowsiness, clenching his teeth and persisting with fermentation metabolism for further muscle growth.

His body expanded within the wind wildly, the thin frame instantly swelling into muscles like entangled tree roots, with noticeably increased wind resistance before him, and the displaced air streams grew louder, massive airflow surged to either side, kicking up grit and dust like a spontaneous tornado.

Yet his speed showed no signs of slowing and instead grew faster.

The pace kept rising, each step fracturing the ground, leaving a horrifying deep pit.

Rumble!!!!

The sound of his sprint gradually shifted from sharp sonic screech to a thunderous rumble.

0.8 Mach.

0.85 Mach...

0.9 Mach...

0.95 Mach...

Wang Ye’s speed increased,

Finally, he touched the critical point of sonic speed.

Which is the "sound barrier."

An unprecedented resistance seemed to block him, hindering further speed elevation.

Wang Ye attempted to break through this sound barrier but was met with compression, threatening to crush his skeleton.

Prior to mastering the technology to break sound with aircraft, countless aircraft met their demise at this stage,

When aircraft speed reaches 0.9 Mach, about 950 km/hour, the local air currents around the plane could reach sonic speed, increasing aerodynamic resistance, impacting flight posture, or potentially leading to fatal crashes.

When aircraft nears 1 Mach, approaching air won’t disperse as usual, but accumulates around the craft, creating immense pressure, sparking unseen air whirlwinds, known as "death whirlwinds," which, without reinforcement, can tear the craft to shreds.

The pressure Wang Ye was enduring was this "death whirlwinds" flow.

Breaking through is simple, requiring further thrust increase and sufficient acceleration to surpass this unstable sonic barrier, moving ahead of sound.

This would induce intense explosion behind the craft, known as sonic boom.

But post-boom, stability returns to the aircraft.

Wang Ye understood this theory,

He persisted against the pressure, showing no slack,

Continuing to enhance muscle volume and strength through fermentation.

Further thrust elevation.

The consequence naturally was extensive energy consumption.

Moonlight’s energy couldn’t meet this consumption.

Even Wang Ye’s consciousness began to blur.

Finally.

At the brink of mind collapse,

He broke the sonic barrier.

Boom!!!

A deafening sound akin to countless tons of TNT exploding concurrently,

spreading omnidirectionally, sweeping everywhere.

Pure white sonic boom clouds expanded rapidly in a circular manner.

..............

At this moment, in the military camp.

Ning Junyi abruptly sat up in bed.

"What’s happening?"

He hurriedly got out of bed, put on his shoes, ran to the window, and drew the curtains.

Trying to see what caused such an intense explosion noise.

But glancing around from the window, he saw no explosions nearby.

Simply soldiers in surrounding dorms awoke, who likewise came to the window to investigate.

Those on guard raised their flashlights, nervously scanning the vicinity, fearing a possible raid.

Ning Junyi furrowed his brows, the sound seemed to come from far away, not a nearby explosion, but a sharp, continuous sonic screech, resembling the roaring of supersonic jets.

And it sounds like it’s coming from kilometers away.

"Could it be...Wang Ye?"

Ning Junyi immediately thought of Wang Ye, who he brought back last night.

This bizarre occurrence would usually never happen,

So Wang Ye is likely the cause.

No wonder he specifically mentioned possibly causing quite a ruckus before leaving the dorm.

This commotion...

Sure is substantial.

Ning Junyi felt speechless,

It’s impressive to hear such a loud noise kilometers away,

What exactly is Wang Ye up to?

Ning Junyi ceased pondering further, the situation couldn’t afford delay, he immediately dressed and hurried downstairs, soothing the standing guards, and informed everyone to ignore the sound.
