The next moment, Xu Lu had already used the ability he had just unlocked, 'Soaring to the Top'.
He felt as if he had suddenly become lighter, just like the line he had written not long ago: "I wish to ride the wind and return."
The earth's gravitational pull on him vanished completely at that moment.
A thought flashed through Xu Lu's mind, and he strode forward, step by step walking into the void.
When it soared upwards through the air, it didn't require the slightest effort.
In just a few breaths, he floated to a height of several hundred meters.
The wind here was noticeably stronger than on the ground below, but strangely, Xu Lu did not feel himself being blown away or swaying.
In fact, he still maintained control over himself when using the ability to "rise to prominence".
Moreover, it can not only move upwards, but also move forwards, backwards, lefts, and rights.
Of course, the movement speed is not very fast, only slightly faster than the average person running, and naturally cannot compare to the speed when piloting a steel armor.
However, Xu Lu discovered that if he used his lightness technique at the same time while in this state, his speed could be increased by a lot.
"It's amazing! Even though I'm at a high altitude, I'm not affected by the strong winds and low temperatures there."
As is well known, the temperature drops by 0.6 degrees Celsius for every 100 meters increase in altitude.
Even though it's autumn now, and I'm over a thousand meters above the ground, I figured the temperature should be quite low, but I didn't feel cold at all!
Xu Lu muttered to himself.
Although he was now more than a thousand meters in the air, he was not panicked at all.
This is not because of the skill of 'super self-healing ability'.
However, because the Iron Man armor's remote sensing device is always on his body, he can summon the armor for support at any time should anything happen.
"Let's look further up and see if there's a limit to the 'Soaring to the Top' ability!"
With that thought in mind, Xu Lu continued to ascend into the air.
If anyone saw him at that moment, they would surely think he had truly ascended to immortality.
Because Xu Lu was not wearing any equipment at this time, he still stepped into the sky step by step.
Besides the phrase 'ascending to immortality,' it's really hard to think of any other suitable adjective.
Several minutes passed quickly, and Xu Lu successfully ascended to an altitude of at least 10,000 meters.
He didn't actually know the exact height.
However, the cloud cover was very thick, and the air convection was quite intense. Xu Lu, who had nine years of compulsory education experience, knew that this place was a well-known 'troposphere'.
In fact, the temperature here had already reached below zero, but it had no effect on Xu Lu.
After briefly experiencing the troposphere, he continued to ascend into the air.
About half a minute later, he broke free from the cloud cover and saw the true void.
The airflow here has become much more stable, and it is clear that Xu Lu has entered the 'stratosphere' region.
Most passenger planes fly at the bottom of this region to avoid the active air currents in the troposphere, thus ensuring flight safety.
"Wow, such good luck?"
Just as Xu Lu was about to ascend, he saw a large passenger plane with its signal lights flashing fly by not far away.
His excellent eyesight allowed him to see the drowsy passengers inside through the cabin window.
He hadn't paid much attention at first, but then he suddenly noticed a little child staring at him with wide eyes from behind one of the cabin windows.
At any other time, you certainly wouldn't be able to see anything from an airplane at 10,000 meters altitude late at night.
But you should know that today happens to be the fifteenth of August, and the moonlight is too bright.
The child had clearly noticed Xu Lu's presence, staring intently at them.
Xu Lu smiled, waved to the other person, and then stepped into the higher air.
Only after he disappeared from the child's sight did the child come to his senses, quickly shaking the arm of a woman next to him and whispering:
"Mom, I just saw a fairy uncle! He was standing on a cloud and waving at me!"
The woman clearly didn't take these words seriously.
She tapped the child's nose and said with a smile:
"Honey, did you watch some weird TV show with your brother again this afternoon? Sweetie, time for bed!"
"But I really saw the fairy uncle! He was walking up step by step, and then he disappeared!"
The child explained with a serious expression.
The woman didn't refute, but simply smiled and said:
"Okay, Mom knows, go to sleep now, maybe you'll see this fairy uncle in your dreams!"
"Um!"
Upon hearing this, the child obediently nodded and closed his eyes.
...
Xu Lu, who was already soaring freely into the stratosphere, was naturally unaware of the subsequent conversation with the child.
However, he wasn't particularly curious about the tens of thousands of meters of the stratosphere.
He had been here more than once when piloting his Iron Man suit.
In fact, he, wearing his armor, has even broken through Earth's atmosphere.
But they did not continue exploring upwards.
At this moment, relying on his ability to "rise to prominence," Xu Lu simply wanted to experience what it felt like to step out of the atmosphere without wearing armor.
Of course, at his current altitude, the oxygen is already very thin.
Ordinary people simply cannot survive in this place.
However, Xu Lu had already switched his breathing to an internal breathing state, which he could maintain for a long time.
Finally, after a period of tedious soaring, Xu Lu felt the scene before him change, and a dazzling starry sky was displayed directly in front of him.
What were once just twinkling stars on the ground have now become a vast sea of stars, and the moon is so enormous that it seems to be right in front of you.
Although he had seen this scene many times before, Xu Lu was still quite shocked.
In fact, he found that his ability to "rise to prominence" became even stronger after he broke out of the atmosphere.
At least in terms of movement speed, it has increased significantly compared to before.
"In a sense, I have actually broken free from the constraints of the ground."
Standing here all alone is so lonely. I much prefer the human world below!
After waiting for a while, Xu Lu sighed silently.
He then pressed the sensor on his armor.
In just a few minutes, a set of split-type steel armor had covered his entire body.
I came up here just now to experience the effects of the 'Soaring to Success' ability.
Returning to the ground now would definitely be much faster, as it would be much less troublesome.
Soon, Xu Lu controlled the armor to plummet downwards, rapidly passing through the stratosphere and troposphere.
The next moment, he saw the brightly lit city lights on the ground.
Compared to the dazzling starry sky, the fireworks of everyday life offer a completely different kind of beauty.
