Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 245 - 218: Arrival in Mexico (Part 2)
But if there were other skydivers beside him,
they would find that,
Wang Ye's body movements hardly changed, always maintaining the basic "waist-flying" posture,
yet he could precisely soar along the predetermined complex route.
This is because recently Wang Ye has consciously been training to reduce the amplitude of his movements, trying to rely solely on the Qi Control function of the Light Body Technique to change directions.
Although the root of the Light Body Technique is to increase the body's lift, making the body more lightweight,
over long-term exploration, Wang Ye gradually realized that Qi Control is not a single upward direction but can freely move in all directions.
This means he can not only reduce weight but also increase weight.
He can even attach Innate Qi to his fist to increase its weight.
Therefore, he can also control the gliding direction through Qi Control.
As long as the Qi Control moves to the left, his body will move to the left.
Similarly, when the Qi Control moves to the right, his body will also move to the right.
This is a very convenient feature.
Because, ultimately, the posture and movements of Wind Manipulation rely on external forces, which are often unstable, so risks can easily arise. But Qi Control borrows power inwardly and is relatively more stable than Wind Manipulation, and as one becomes gradually more powerful, the effects of Qi Control will become increasingly significant.
In the air, Wang Ye squinted his eyes and quietly directed Qi towards the left.
Immediately, his body strangely tilted to the left and began to noticeably change direction.
Throughout, his body movements did not change, maintaining the basic posture,
and the surrounding wind direction and wind speed did not change significantly.
If any skydiver in the world witnessed this scene, they would probably be shocked and question the existence of physics.
After half a minute of free fall,
Wang Ye finally reached over a thousand meters in altitude.
At this time, light rain began to fall from above.
Due to Wang Ye's rapid soaring speed, the raindrops slammed on his face like bullets. For an ordinary person, the skin on their face would be painfully stinging by now, and their visibility would be greatly reduced, making it impossible to precisely judge their falling direction.
Yet Wang Ye's vision seemed completely unaffected by the rain curtain, maintaining hawk-like vision, his senses enhanced tenfold, allowing him to have sharp perception under any circumstances, and even with his eyes covered, he could determine his position using his hearing and sense of smell.
Wang Ye quickly pulled out the main parachute.
Bang!
The parachute opened with a sudden stretch.
And Wang Ye took advantage of it to gradually land on the ground.
Although the rainwater made his parachute heavier, the impact was minimal.
At most, it just made the force of his landing slightly heavier.
This force was not enough to harm his leg bones. Besides the Gang Qi (Biological Force Field) dissipating the impact, his thigh muscles could effortlessly withstand a momentary heavy impact of several thousand pounds.
Just as Wang Ye was about to pack up the parachute,
he suddenly discovered that in front of him, the skill level of Light Body Technique had become full.
Immediately after,
the panel blurred suddenly.
[Your Light Body Technique skill level is full and has been promoted to "Flying."]
[Flying lv1 (0.0%)]

At the same time,
in Mexico,
San Luis Potosi State,
Achismeng Town.
Six men wearing jackets with the Red Bull logo, each carrying professional cave exploration equipment, marched in a line through the dense forest,
their heavy rain boots occasionally splashing through puddles, making a "splash" sound.
The drizzling raindrops fell on their jackets but didn't penetrate, instead gathered into droplets sliding off the edges onto the ground.
The team leader led them to a vertical cave about sixty meters in diameter, then turned around and solemnly said to the team members behind him, "This is just to get you familiar with the surroundings of Swallow Cave, be careful, don't fall in."
The other team members stepped forward, and upon seeing the huge vertical cave, they all showed astonished expressions. It couldn't be helped; the sight before them was too magnificent. A gigantic cave, enough to encompass the Empire State Building, the visual impact it brought was unimaginable.
A French team member tentatively approached the cliff edge and looked down, immediately exclaiming, "Wow—this cave really is deep!"
Swallow Cave's rock walls are home to many birds, primarily white-collared swifts and green parrots.
Since the white-collared swifts are the most numerous, it is named "Swallow Cave."
Because the temperature at the cave bottom is very low, the temperature difference between the entrance and the bottom is very large, so the entrance has dense vegetation, which becomes sparser further down until it's completely barren.
Directly looking down, a deep, black abyss-like scene can be seen.
Another team member with goggles murmured, "If we go down, we'll need to tie our bodies with ropes, but we aren't here to explore the cave; we're here for the so-called 'Awakening Earth.'
The French team member scratched his head and said, "I know that too, but once we succeed in the challenge, we'll end up in the cave's depths, right? Then how do we get back up?"
"Rock climbing." The leader squatted down, touched the slippery moss on the edge, and sighed, "Swallow Cave's terrain is complex, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, not suitable for flying planes, so we'll need to rely on the ropes we carry to climb up barehanded."
"Barehanded climbing? My God, that's really tough." The French team member couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Damn it, it just rained, this place is almost like a damn waterfall now, how are we supposed to climb? Carlos, how much longer will it keep raining here?" A team member wearing a fisherman's hat impatiently asked the team leader at the front.
The team leader, named Carlos, is a native Mexican and an excellent guide, responsible for familiarizing them with the terrain around Swallow Cave.
As the leader, Carlos slowly raised his head, looking at the overcast sky, thought for a moment, and said, "Judging from the weather of previous years, it could rain here continuously for a month."
"Continuously for a month?" The team member wearing the fisherman's hat showed an extremely incredulous expression, "This is definitely not a challenge meant for humans, I should have refused Red Bull's invitation!"
"It's too late now, canceling the challenge means we have to pay a hefty breach fee to Red Bull, enough to bankrupt us," the man with goggles shook his head and said.
"It's just two months until the end of the rainy season, why do we have to challenge Awakening Earth now?" said a slender, tall American woman, seemingly in her twenties, the only female in the group.
Carlos helplessly said, "Blame Wang Ye, this reckless guy has really screwed us over."

About five days later.
September 1st.
Morning.
Seven o'clock.
Wang Ye packed his luggage, carried his suitcase, and left Anta Headquarters.
At this time, Ah Gui and others had been waiting at the door for a long time.
They took Wang Ye's luggage over.
Then Wang Ye got into Ah Gui's car and went to the local airport.
After a series of security checks and ticketing procedures, he boarded the plane.
After taking a flight for more than thirty hours, he finally arrived in Mexico.
