Chapter 519 - 355: Showcasing Supersonic Running (Part 2)
As for humans, there’s no need to say more—being able to smell from a distance of ten meters is already considered extremely sensitive.
In other words, Wang Ye’s current sense of smell is at least twenty times that of a dog’s and two thousand times that of a human’s.
After a simple calculation, the doctor, with trembling fingers, wrote on the form:
[Olfaction: Two thousand times the standard level.]
How does each one outdo the last?
From two hundred times to a thousand times, and now an exaggeration of two thousand times.
The doctor suspected that if the tests continued, Wang Ye could create a record of ten thousand times.
But now, too much time has been wasted on testing the five senses; something that could have been resolved in minutes has been forcefully dragged out for several hours.
The sky was even growing dim,
they had to quickly finish the remaining physical examination items.
After seeing the outrageous examination data from previous sections, the officers internally held an emergency meeting to discuss what should be tested next.
But during the meeting, everyone surprisingly agreed on testing Wang Ye’s physical capabilities.
Even these auxiliary examination data are so bizarre, Wang Ye’s physical data surely harbors hidden secrets. With this Superman-like physique, how could he only achieve results twice the world record in running?
Seeing that all the officers present suggested testing physical capabilities, Ning Junyi, who was in charge of this examination, directly said to the doctor: "Skip the remaining internal medical checkups, directly arrange for the physical capability tests."
He knew that with their level of medical proficiency, arranging further internal checkups would yield nothing significant. It would be better to directly arrange for physical capability tests to see Wang Ye’s strength and speed limits.
Moreover, since Wang Ye showed no intention of hiding anything during this examination, it was better to seize this opportunity to understand Wang Ye’s combat capabilities, so they could prepare in advance for any potential future loss of control.
The doctor nodded and said: "Understood."
Then they found a vacant training ground, which had a sand-graveled track, as well as bars and an obstacle course.
However, it seemed abandoned for many years, covered in dust.
They planned to use this field for Wang Ye’s physical capability test.
To prevent Wang Ye from unleashing astonishing destructive power in the test that would devastate the field, causing unnecessary and enormous losses.
The physical capability test starts with a five-kilometer run.
Running is also Wang Ye’s most skilled capability.
Everyone actually knew this because Wang Ye started his career through running.
So naturally, this core test item was placed at the forefront.
Wang Ye, led by the doctor, arrived at the testing location.
He glanced around at the track.
The track was a standard four-hundred-meter loop.
For ordinary people, this track wasn’t short. But for Wang Ye, it seemed too short; if running at supersonic speeds, he could circle it in a second, meaning he would need to turn frequently, causing increased energy consumption.
However, at present, there seemed to be no better option. If he were given a straight track, recording the test would be difficult.
Because the doctor responsible for recording was just a regular person, he couldn’t keep up with supersonic-running Wang Ye the entire time.
Before the test, the doctor specially brought high-speed cameras and professional electronic timers,
so they could precisely measure Wang Ye’s time crossing the finish line.
What they didn’t know, though, was that these devices could no longer time Wang Ye accurately.
If Wang Ye ran at supersonic speeds, these gadgets simply couldn’t capture his figure.
Let alone calculate the time.
Wang Ye thought for a moment and offered a reminder:
"I would advise manual timing, as electronic timing might not pinpoint the accuracy."
"Manual timing is more accurate?" The doctor was somewhat baffled by Wang Ye’s words, as common knowledge suggests electronic timing is more accurate, which is why even professionally trained athletes use it.
However, since Wang Ye said this, the doctor could only comply.
He took out a prepared stopwatch and held it in his hand.
Then said: "Ready, five-kilometer test."
Wang Ye stretched his muscles a bit and came to the starting line of the track,
The doctor in charge of the test shouted, "Three, two, one," then pressed the starter pistol sharply.
Bang!!!
Wang Ye instantly turned into an afterimage charging forward, and the ground where he stood blasted open with countless clouds of dust as if it had explosives buried, leaving only a crater about three meters in diameter.
Immediately, the surrounding doctors and officers stared wide-eyed.
Are you kidding... Is this a start or a rocket launch?
But in the next moment, something even more shocking happened.
Wang Ye, as a blur, completed a lap around the track in an instant, continuously emitting ear-piercing buzzing sounds and thunderous sonic booms, akin to witnessing a high-speed train rushing by at close range.
As time reached the second second, a deafening sonic boom exploded once again, echoing throughout the training ground, endless dust, and air waves billowed, compelling the bystanders to cover their eyes.
This deafening sonic boom shattered all the glass of surrounding buildings, and a large amount of glass shards fell from the houses. The few nearest to Wang Ye even had blood streaming from their ears, clearly having their eardrums ruptured, and those a bit further away experienced temporary deafness, similar to having a stun grenade explode nearby.
Fortunately, under Ning Junyi’s reminder, some had prepared in advance with goggles and earplugs, avoiding interference from the raging dust and airwaves, but these were also the most astonished of the group; they clearly saw the entire process of Wang Ye breaking the sound barrier from the starting point and the ridiculous step frequency, surpassing even the Flash’s cinematic portrayal,
The Flash, at most, came with special effects, with a setup claiming speed faster than light, but the actual filmed step frequency and depicted speed aren’t that fast, not even as exaggerated as Wang Ye’s display. Even those well-portrayed versions of special effects only portray several times the speed of sound, and Marvel’s Quicksilver can still be shot dead by bullets.
Reflecting carefully, can the Flash create a crater at the start? Does running cause sonic booms? Can the Flash running shatter all nearby building glass?
Clearly, no.
But Wang Ye can.
His process of accelerating running is extremely violent,
Each step leaves extremely deep potholes at the starting point,
and each turn ushers in a great deal of mist.
Even the aftershock from his speed is enough to literally shake a person to death.
Now, in front of Wang Ye, ordinary people are probably more fragile than ants.
Beside him, Ning Junyi, who witnessed the whole scene, suddenly started breathing heavily.
So what Wang Ye told him a few days ago was not a lie.
Those sonic booms were indeed generated by Wang Ye’s running.
Supersonic running speed...
Now, if Wang Ye claimed to be Superman, probably not many would dare to disagree.
Simultaneously, Ning Junyi also felt a surge of relief that modern technology is sufficiently advanced.
Otherwise, with Wang Ye’s prowess, in ancient or recent eras, being Homelander would certainly be no problem. Killing whomever he wishes, potentially making all human society his slaughterhouse.
So next, let’s see how long Wang Ye can maintain this speed.
Though supersonic running is impressive, if Wang Ye can only maintain this speed for a few seconds, it wouldn’t be much. After all, now the latest fifth-generation fighters can maintain supersonic cruising for half an hour.
They watched Wang Ye, who was continuously running on the track, nervously, but within these short five seconds, Wang Ye had already circled the field three or four times.
The originally decent visibility of the training ground was now stirred up by massive dust, resembling a sandstorm site.
The officers who were hurt had already been dragged away by doctors for rescue.
A few officers who had, under Ning Junyi’s advice, put on handsets and goggles, stayed behind to watch Wang Ye.
"Five seconds... it’s been five seconds."
"Why hasn’t he reduced his speed?"
"Might he even increase his speed further...?"
