Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi
Chapter 380 - 286: Wild Ride in the Rocky Mountains
So even though Carlos kept following right behind Wang Ye, he was still on edge.
Afraid that Wang Ye would lead him into some shortcut.
Therefore, during this period of training,
Carlos was under immense pressure all the time.
After all, the difference in strength between him and Wang Ye was too great.
If he didn’t give it his all, he would be left behind by Wang Ye in an instant.
However, under such high-pressure stimulation, his skill improvement was also very apparent.
Moreover, Wang Ye would occasionally teach him some skills above the human peak level.
Although he couldn’t fully grasp the content of these skills,
just digesting a little could bring about a dramatic improvement in his abilities.
After the training was finished, it was already close to dusk,
Carlos dragged his somewhat exhausted body back to the hotel. Seeing a few helicopters parked on the helipad behind the hotel, he couldn’t help but start doubting himself inside, can he really complete the challenge?
Actually, he had been asking himself this question during this time. The longer he stayed with Wang Ye, the more he realized his own insignificance. With his own strength, he should have perished in the Swallow Cave during the first challenge of the Awakening Earth, but he gave up midway and opened his parachute in mid-air, saving his life. However, after failing the challenge, he still thick-skinnedly continued to challenge the subsequent projects. Without Wang Ye’s help, he wouldn’t have made it this far.
The repeated setbacks made Carlos question whether his choice to challenge Ozaki’s Eight was a mistake.
He should have given up sooner; that would have been the wise choice.
Such extreme challenges could only be completed by non-human extreme athletes like Wang Ye...
Just as he was dazed, Wang Ye patted him on the shoulder from behind, "Don’t worry, I’ve got your back tomorrow, just go for the challenge."
Carlos: "Thanks."
Wang Ye: "Get some rest early, we might have to get up early for the challenge tomorrow."
Carlos nodded and went upstairs back to his room.

The next day.
Around eight in the morning.
Wang Ye and Carlos finished washing up and gathered in the hotel lobby.
At this time, Li Weimin also waited with Ah Gui and other support staff, already seated in the helicopter in advance.
They had prepped the two challengers’ vehicles with lubrication and maintenance and carefully checked the tightness of each component to prevent any malfunctions during the challenge later.
Wang Ye and Carlos put on the standard off-road cycling suits handed over by Li Weimin,
boarded the same helicopter, and sat in the back row.
Soon, under the pilot’s manipulation, the helicopter started, and the camera team headed by Ah Gui began a live broadcast on all platforms. As Wang Ye’s popularity grew, more platforms wanted to sign with him, so their live broadcast gradually expanded from a single Douyin platform to an all-platform broadcast, including various external platforms. Therefore, the online audience count limit suddenly multiplied several times. Before, the maximum online audience on the Douyin live stream was hundreds of thousands, but after the all-platform broadcast, within just a few minutes after starting, the online audience exceeded tens of millions, which meant that at this moment, tens of millions around the world were watching their every move.
Wang Ye just waved at the camera.
Instantly, countless comments flooded the screen.
[Whoa, it’s the real Wang Ye!]
[First time catching the live stream, so excited!]
[Say something!]
[Can someone explain what’s going on now? Where’s the host?]
[Why is there only the thumping sound of the helicopter?]
[Who’s that foreign guy next to Wang Ye? Looks unfamiliar.]
[Fool, that’s Carlos, he used to be with the Red Bull Challenge Team, and now he’s been recruited by Anta.]
[This guy looks pretty weak; can he keep up with our Qi Refining Brother?]
[Is that even a question? It’s a no-brainer!]
[With Qi Refining Brother’s skill level, who can keep up with him now?]
[By the way, what project are they challenging this time?]
[I heard they’re in Utah now, so it should be the first item of Ozaki’s Eight, Emergence of Power.]
[Challenging the first item at this stage? Didn’t they complete the second and third items already?]
[You’re mistaken. The Ozaki’s Eight can be challenged in any order. You can choose which project to challenge first or last, and even modify the challenge content. That’s what extreme sports are about, focusing on freedom.]
[This is true freedom, bro.]
[But... not very friendly for those with OCD...]
[Indeed, it’s more comfortable to challenge them one by one in order, even though doing it in another order is convenient, it’s really uncomfortable to watch for us.]
Seeing the comments in the live stream, Wang Ye couldn’t help but laugh and said:
"Yes, today is the first item challenge of Ozaki’s Eight, Emergence of Power."
"Perhaps some friends don’t know, but the reason I’ve postponed this challenge until today is that I needed to design a bicycle that suits my physical condition,"
"Everyone knows, given my current strength, any bicycle would be crushed by me in an instant, so I specifically built a bicycle, named [Polar 1.0], commissioned by Anta."
Instantly, the live stream boiled again.
[Whoa, any bicycle can be crushed? What kind of power is this?]
[Bro, have you practiced Dragon Form Wisdom Skill or what?]
[This is so Versailles...]
