Chapter 443 - 317: Hydraulic Press Delivered (Part 2)
Another five seconds passed, and Wang Ye’s speed finally broke through 300 kilometers per hour.
This speed was already equivalent to his maximum cycling speed,
but it still couldn’t compare to his running speed.
After all, running was now Wang Ye’s strongest skill.
It was also the skill he trained the hardest in.
If flying were so easily to surpass the speed of running, Wang Ye would not have been too pleased.
After reaching this speed, his spirit also experienced intense fatigue. This was because a large amount of Primordial Qi was consumed during the burst of speed. This is akin to how those with addictions experience mental weakness due to overindulgence. But Wang Ye’s mental weakness was not from overindulgence, but from excessive use of telekinesis. Thus, his exhaustion was more thorough, leaving him more fatigued than those mentally weakened by overindulgence.
Just as Wang Ye planned to retract his wings and slowly land in a deserted area.
He suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped retracting his wings.
He then slowly activated his skeletal growth ability,
developing two pairs of complex joints at the base and midsection of his wings.
If an MRI scan of his bones were conducted at this moment, it would reveal that his wings had evolved from fixed bones to movable, normal wings, capable of flapping or retracting for gliding at any moment.
Developing joints in the wings meant he needed to set up many additional muscles around the joints, which would significantly increase his energy consumption.
Maintaining this state, even flying for half a minute would be a testament to his impressive endurance.
He wouldn’t normally do such a foolish thing.
But now, he was testing his speed limits.
So using this method to squeeze some potential out of himself was harmless.
Once joints appeared on his wings, they suddenly became flexible.
Wang Ye gritted his teeth, controlling his wings to contract tightly.
BOOM!!!!!!
His wings heavily flapped downward, stirring up terrifying tornadoes. These two tornadoes reached heights of about five or six meters, swirling in the wilderness for a whole ten seconds before gradually dissipating, showcasing the astounding power his wings had unleashed, a force even a modified excavator with fans might not be able to whip up.
Wang Ye’s body also accelerated rapidly because of this flap.
His speed suddenly broke through three hundred, increasing to around five hundred kilometers per hour.
However, this speed was maintained for only a few seconds before gradually slowing down.
Wang Ye wanted to continue flapping, but the muscles in his wings had already suffered severe strain from the earlier burst, with many parts even sunken in, clearly unable to unleash another burst.
That his muscles could sustain such injuries was largely because of the wings’ immense area rather than weight. Due to the lever principle, his wings needed to provide at least tens of tons of force just to flap once completely. Wang Ye managing to flap once completely was already a testament to his impressive explosive power.
With both spirit and body utterly exhausted, Wang Ye slowly retracted his wings.
He landed on the field of wilderness.
As soon as he hit the ground, he lay directly down and nodded off.

At this time,
two youths who were having a picnic halfway up the mountain captured Wang Ye’s entire flight and acceleration with a camcorder.
However, their camcorder lacked infrared night vision capabilities, so the footage was very blurry, showing only two hazy red mists passing by,
and while Wang Ye accelerated, a strong wind also rose in the mountains, shaking the surrounding branches and leaves violently, causing countless leaves to fall. Their campfire also suddenly extinguished with a "pop," rendering the atmosphere exceptionally terrifying.
After shooting the video, the two young men examined it carefully with their eyes,
confirming that the "Demon" had indeed vanished completely.
Only then did they dare to sit back down and upload the video to a forum.
With the accompanying text:
[Something terrible happened, there’s a demon on the wild mountain in Changxi, I’m not kidding!]
[Demon?]
[What is this? Are you saying the video captures a demon?]
[What a marketing ploy.]
[No, but the video’s just too blurry, just two vague red blobs, where’s the demon?]
[It’s too dark, the phone camera can’t capture clearly, but with the naked eye, you can barely see a human figure between the two red wings!]
[Is it true?]
[It is, just a moment ago! If you don’t believe it, you can come and see now!]
[This isn’t some demon, it’s the local Mountain God. Also, I advise the poster to bow three times towards the Mountain God’s location, you might get some good luck.]
[Amazing, you even know this.]
[I’ve seen an Immortal back at my hometown, it was just like this.]
[Come on, I might believe a demon, but a Mountain God, really? Where do immortals come from nowadays?]
[Then where do western demons come from in China, might I ask?]
[You all make sense, but why mix Italian spaghetti with 42 concrete?]
Seeing the comments by a claimed "expert" in the post.
The two youths’ eyes immediately brightened.
"Bro, he seems to make a bit of sense."
"How about we bow three times? There’s nothing to lose."
"Let’s do it."
The two young men exchanged a glance, then put down their phones and bowed three times towards the direction where the "Demon" appeared.
At this moment, Wang Ye, who was napping five or six kilometers away in the wilderness,
was unaware that the two young men on the mountainside were now bowing to him.
After dozing for ten minutes, he slowly awoke, his physical exhaustion and mental weakness completely restored in his sleep.
Wang Ye glanced around, ensuring there was no one nearby within a few kilometers before standing up for his trek back home.

The next day.
After infusing his parents with a certain amount of Primordial Qi as usual in the morning, Wang Ye headed to the villa.
As soon as he opened the villa door, he received some good news.
The hydraulic press he ordered had arrived!
This device works on the principle of liquid pressure transmission,
its core principle based on Pascal’s law. It mainly stipulates that in incompressible static fluids, any external force applied to increase pressure at a point will instantly be transmitted to all points of the fluid.
Pascal’s law is widely applied, primarily in hydraulic systems and related mechanical design.
For instance, hydraulic presses and water presses are made using Pascal’s law, displaying large thruster outputs by transmitting pressure through a liquid.
Furthermore, Pascal’s law is applied in brake systems, hydraulic braking devices, etc. These devices utilize the characteristic of liquid pressure transmission to achieve highly efficient braking effects. Nowadays, many bicycles employ hydraulic shock brakes, requiring frequent liquid refills. Presently, the most accessible and powerful device for purchase in the civilian market should be the hydraulic press, with many bloggers frequently uploading videos of hydraulic presses crushing various items, embodying a sense of relief.
Though a hydraulic press isn’t strictly a scientific instrument,
it can help Wang Ye better understand his body.
He’s longed to test his physical resilience and ultimate strength using a hydraulic press.
Since the heaviest dumbbells and barbells in the world couldn’t provide Wang Ye with a hint of exertion,
he’s long considered spending heavily on a hydraulic press for strength testing.
The model Wang Ye bought was the top-tier, thousand-ton four-column press.
Priced at around fifty thousand.
Capable of exerting a thousand tons of pressure.
Mainly utilized for die casting in composite material works.
Even the toughest metals can be crushed into pancakes under the weight of a thousand-ton hydraulic press.
