Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi
Chapter 379 - 285: Emergence of Power 2
What’s more, when Wang Ye was controlling the Golden Eagle for training, the Golden Eagle’s consciousness remained fully alert, allowing it to fully experience the training, so there was no situation where the body understood but the mind did not.
About half an hour passed again.
Wang Ye’s consciousness finally felt fatigued, and he quickly retreated from the Golden Eagle’s body and returned to his own, where he sat cross-legged and performed a Breathing Technique for a while, slightly alleviating the mental fatigue.
The Golden Eagle on the ground emitted a sharp "chirp chirp" sound,
indicating that the Golden Eagle’s consciousness had regained control of its body.
It attempted to take off from the ground, but due to the sharp increase of several hundred units of Primordial Qi within its body,
it seemed to struggle with controlling the sudden surge of power,
and several test flights ended in failure.
It either used too much force or crashed into nearby rocks.
It should be noted that Primordial Qi is a highly versatile form of Extraordinary Energy. People with abundant Innate Primordial Qi tend to have better muscle neural recruitment abilities from a young age compared to their peers, enabling them to exert greater strength and speed for the same muscle size. Mastering a technique like Tai Chi, which involves the explosive use of Primordial Qi, can release even greater destructive power. If an ordinary person suddenly gains several hundred units of Primordial Qi, the initial reaction is not a feeling of invigorating refreshment, but rather an inability to adapt to the explosive inner power increase. Although the muscle density and volume do not grow, the increased neural recruitment ability effectively boosts strength by 10%-20%.
However, the Golden Eagle itself is not very intelligent, so adapting to the sudden surge in power takes longer compared to humans; it took about three minutes before it barely managed to control its body.
It flapped its wings a couple of times and perched on Wang Ye’s shoulder.
Wang Ye turned his head aside, carefully observing the subtle movements of the Golden Eagle.
Even though the Golden Eagle looked dazed with its eyes open, its breathing was in a very distinct rhythm. Specific muscle groups trembled imperceptibly, and the surrounding air slightly distorted, indicating phenomena associated with practicing Innate Skill.
"Success!" Wang Ye was overjoyed. As expected, after an hour of enforced training, the Golden Eagle had started to subconsciously practice Innate Skill during rest, indicating it had developed a training muscle memory.
With his plan succeeding, Wang Ye released the Golden Eagle from his shoulder,
planning to check the results after a few days.
Given the training efficiency of this Golden Eagle, it would take less than half a month to cultivate its Primordial Qi to several thousand units.
Additionally, the Golden Eagle’s size is expected to increase dramatically since it lacks systemic evolution abilities to compress muscle density; any change in physique would lead to an uncontrollable surge in size.
Thus, according to Wang Ye’s prediction, it wouldn’t be long before this Golden Eagle transforms into a sky-covering Divine Eagle, capable of matching a fighter jet in combat power.

The following day.
Around seven or eight in the morning, Wang Ye went to the gang’s territory,
and took a morning bath with five tons of concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide.
After the bath, he casually dealt with some of the gang’s accumulated important affairs.
During the process, Wang Ye learned from Terry that
in recent days, the Sloos Gang had annexed three or four smaller gangs,
and now most of the gangs in the nearby counties had been secretly swallowed by the Sloos Gang. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Although their actions were very covert, and Terry had strictly controlled his subordinates to minimize traitors, due to the sheer size, it was somewhat uncontrollable and therefore had been discovered by the local police, who were now investigating them. The police already knew the main activity areas of the Sloos Gang.
A crackdown could occur at any time.
Therefore, the main activity areas of the Sloos Gang might need to change in the next couple of days.
Terry came to Wang Ye this time to seek his opinion.
Wang Ye pondered for a long time and decided that Terry should take a hundred core members of the Sloos Gang to the neighboring county. The original territory would be used as a branch. As long as the police couldn’t find the leader "Rein" and the main core members, they wouldn’t trouble the members of the original territory.
Upon receiving the order, Terry immediately began to gather a hundred core members to prepare for relocating the territory.
Wang Ye didn’t bother with such trivial matters, and after handling the important affairs, he returned to the area near the hotel.
According to the challenge plan originally formulated by Li Weimin, they would officially begin the Emergence of Power challenge in early November, and by mid-November, they needed to return to conduct training for the Chinese Team in track and field.
After this period of training, Carlos’s skills in off-road racing had significantly improved. They had challenged several off-road routes with nearly zero errors. It seemed they were well-prepared.
So Wang Ye and Li Weimin discussed at the hotel for half an hour and decided that tomorrow—
which is November 4th, they would officially begin the Emergence of Power challenge.
As for why not today.
It was because the official challenge required gathering several helicopter pilots and a dozen-member filming team. Li Weimin needed time to assemble them.
After confirming the challenge time.
Wang Ye prepared to take Carlos to the nearby wilderness for one last training session.
They drove to the nearby wilderness and began training.
Unlike when Wang Ye just arrived in Utah and the area was filled with drivers, there were now very few other off-road drivers in this wilderness.
With Wang Ye having taken over the Sloos Gang, there were very few racing gangs in the vicinity. In fact, over 70% of the former drivers in this area were members of the Sloos Gang, so there were rarely professional drivers here for training. Now that Wang Ye had driven away the members of the Sloos Gang, this area had completely become their private training ground.
This was perfect for their training,
and upon entering the wilderness, Wang Ye arrived at their usual training route to start off-roading.
Carlos closely followed him from behind, maintaining an off-road speed of around 100 mph.
After these days of training, the two had developed a certain level of tacit understanding. While off-roading, Wang Ye needed to take the lead, with Carlos closely following behind. This not only allowed Wang Ye to guide Carlos along the correct route and prevent mistakes but also helped Carlos draft, making his speed slightly faster. This would provide better visual impact during the challenge.
Although Carlos easily got dust kicked up by the tires, for safety reasons, this was the best approach.
Carlos also had no complaints during training, as he knew his skills were mediocre,
and following Wang Ye’s training over this period, he had begun to grasp how terrifying Wang Ye truly was.
In the field of riding, off-road vehicles are always able to traverse paths other types cannot—be it bicycles, motorcycles, or cars—due to their highly advanced suspension systems that outperform others in shock absorption.
Thus, in the realm of riding, there’s an unspoken rule everyone understands.
When an off-road vehicle owner says, "I know a shortcut,"
owners of other types should never believe him.
Because the so-called "shortcut" is likely plagued by terrible road conditions.
If someone from another type of vehicle believes him and takes that "shortcut",
the result is often a crash...
But now, both Wang Ye and Carlos ride off-road vehicles,
and Carlos’s off-road vehicle even has superior suspension than Wang Ye’s,
but Carlos still dares not follow Wang Ye on his so-called "shortcuts."
Because Wang Ye’s driving skills completely surpass the limitations of vehicle performance.
No matter how poor the vehicle performance or how bad the road conditions, he could pass perfectly based on his skills.
