After stepping outside.

There were a few people walking by who had come for a hike outside the door.

These young people saw Wang Ye walking out of the villa, with a hint of envy in their eyes.

People living in such villas are either big bosses or heirs of wealthy families.

In short, they are definitely from extremely wealthy backgrounds.

But with a closer look, they noticed that Wang Ye’s right arm seemed much longer than the left, and oddly flexible, their eyes gradually turned to pity,

They didn’t think Wang Ye’s arm bones had undergone a bone mutation into a Soft Whip Arm. Instead, they thought Wang Ye’s right arm was like this due to muscle atrophy.

Because most people with local muscle atrophy look like this, for example, someone has a right arm muscle disease or a nervous system disorder, causing the muscle to atrophy, making the right arm thinner than the left. Without muscle support, the right arm droops, appearing longer than the left.

Wang Ye’s current condition, in common sense, is explained as muscle atrophy.

Because no normal person’s arms would differ so much.

But when they saw the robust muscles on other parts of Wang Ye’s body,

The pity in their eyes turned to admiration.

Dragging around a muscle-atrophied arm but still able to build such a robust physique, truly a display of determination! Moreover, Wang Ye lives in such a luxurious villa, clearly successful, and thinking of how they couldn’t even compare to a disabled person, they felt somewhat ashamed of themselves.

Wang Ye, seeing their changing expressions throughout, couldn’t help but feel speechless.

He subtly turned his body, hiding his right arm behind him, and then walked to the backyard of the villa.

The backyard faces a mountain cliff waterfall, so no one would see him from there.

The front door faces the road, so there’s still a risk of being seen by passersby. Although this villa is on the city outskirts, by the mountains, not many people pass by, occasionally, a few hiking youths might pass through.

While walking, Wang Ye adjusted his posture,

Since his right arm had transformed into one hundred and fifty joint segments.

Wang Ye was now even struggling to walk comfortably.

Due to the numerous joints, the arm became too floppy, and it swayed uncontrollably as he walked, needing muscle work to stabilize it.

Additionally, since the local muscles were redistributed evenly across the joints, his whole arm became much thinner and longer. While each joint didn’t possess strong power individually, the combined strength of the whole arm was astonishing, like an octopus leg that could instantly strangle a creature’s neck.

In this state of bone mutation, with Wang Ye letting his right arm hang naturally,

His fingers could even reach beyond the knees, touching the calves.

For an ordinary person, their muscle mass would likely struggle to sustain such a long-armed joint count; even a slight bend of the arm would lead to muscle exhaustion along with a spike in heart rate.

Because his Soft Whip Arm wasn’t like the boneless mode of an octopus, nor like a snake’s vertebral mode, but rather a rather complicated all-joint mode, requiring each of the one hundred and fifty joints to be micromanaged by an independent muscle group to provide enough flexibility and strength, with the downside of being exceptionally energy-draining.

Fortunately, his muscles were robust enough to control such an unstable structure.

Of course, in the moment of swinging his arm for throwing, he had to return to utmost relaxation.

Only this way could he produce the highest speed and force.

According to the principle of muscle co-activation, relaxing the muscles during exertion often packs more power than using force, hence in boxing, baseball, even badminton, basketball, etc., a critical technique is relaxation.

Only by relaxing during the moment of exertion could one deliver the most explosive move.

Of course, the drawback of this method is the instability, prone to erratic swings or muscle strains, because it loses the stabilizing role of muscles.

Now that Wang Ye’s hand had become a Soft Whip Arm, this "instability" was even more exaggerated.

This is because the force exerted point and the target contact point of the Soft Whip Arm are long-distance and separate.

The force exerted by stable muscles can be compared to a firearm’s striker mechanism; pulling the trigger speeds up the linking rod, striking the primer of the bullet, setting off an internal explosive to propel the bullet, which gets accelerated in the gun barrel’s enclosed environment.

In this process, the force interaction is coupled tightly, each stage precisely controlled.

But the force of the whip is entirely different, it’s driven from the source and the force amplifies progressively through the medium,

Wang Ye could feel the process of force transmission, but he couldn’t precisely control it.

Once the Whip Force was released, he couldn’t backtrack or restrain it, otherwise, it would lead to muscle strain or immediate exhaustion, as he’d have to combat the terrifying force escalating progressively after the release.

This consequence somewhat mirrors the "backlash" in fantasy stories where characters forcibly retract or change direction after unleashing a move.

Wang Ye approached the waterfall, placing a piece of Bone Blade Fragment on the Soft Whip Arm.

He swung it slightly a few times, getting used to the current force exertion pattern. Despite his rich experience in throwing, transitioning to an unfamiliar arm made it hard for him to deliver a powerfully effective throw.
