Some chasms are insurmountable for humans, such as this crack that is more than 20 meters wide.
This massive rift has ruthlessly severed the path to the main peak.
The world record for the human long jump has never been broken by more than ten meters. Even Chen Yang himself believed he couldn't jump that high.
He hadn't mastered the double jump yet. He'd timed it with his watch, and on flat ground, his long jump after a running start was 12.4 meters, which was already way ahead of the world record. Even with the double jump, it was only 17 meters. The double jump was never as powerful as the first jump.
The crack was over twenty meters long, and in such a harsh environment as a snow-capped mountain with a biting wind, there was virtually no chance of success.
The crevice is over thirty meters deep; a fall would be certain death. Furthermore, the angle is too steep, and the cliff face is smooth, offering absolutely no way to climb.
Chen Yang stood still, his face red from the cold. But he still didn't move.
He was unwilling to accept it! He had climbed here with great difficulty, and was about to reach the top of the world, but suddenly his path was cut off. Who could accept that?
"Woo~"
The ape seemed to sense that Chen Yang was in low spirits and called out to him twice, as if trying to comfort him.
Chen Yang suddenly turned his head and looked at Cang Yuan, his eyes becoming incredibly bright, which left Cang Yuan somewhat bewildered.
Chen Yang forgot that the Azure Ape was still by his side! He could draw upon the Azure Ape's power!
You can step on the ape's hands and have the ape give you a push at the moment of takeoff, so you can jump higher and farther.
This is a perfectly feasible plan. In some military training, lifting is a routine maneuver, often used to help teammates when scaling walls. Furthermore, I'm much better at controlling my agility and can jump farther than during previous tests!
There is hope!
As long as there is hope, it is worth a try. If you are alone, it is a mindless suicide, with no room for even a fight. But with the help of the ape, there is a possibility.
However, once he returned, there was no longer any help from the apes, so Chen Yang could only look for other paths to take.
If there is no path down the mountain, then he will truly become like Li Su'er, a sculpture standing atop the world.
However, Chen Yang felt it was worth a try. If he could overcome the obstacle and reach the other side, then so be it. After three times, he would be a hero again.
Therefore, Chen Yang began to teach the ape this lifting motion.
To his surprise, the ape learned it in less than ten minutes and mastered it very well.
The action is actually very simple, but the timing must be perfect. Xue Kui seems to have an innate advantage in terms of physical function; for the past ten minutes, it has only been trying to understand Chen Yang's meaning. Once it understood, the action was completely effortless.
Chen Yang had the ape stand beside the large crevice, then moved a little further away himself, preparing to take a running start and leap.
If he failed, he would be reduced to mincemeat, so Chen Yang was extremely nervous.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his physical state, and felt the rhythm of the wind, controlling the wind around his body and letting it propel him.
He stepped out with his left foot in his boots, then bent down like a cheetah, engaging all his muscles and even bringing out the full potential of his eagle eyes.
He burst forth, tearing the wind apart; all the wind automatically parted to the sides the instant it approached him, while the wind behind him propelled him forward.
Once a certain speed is reached, the wind becomes the biggest obstacle. Just as a star rider in a top cycling team will have a dedicated windbreaker, Chen Yang's windbreaker is the Light Body Wind. It parts all the wind in front of Chen Yang and propels him forward, allowing him to reach his maximum speed.
The ape was already prepared. The moment Chen Yang stepped on its palm, it roared and suddenly lifted Chen Yang up, throwing him forward.
The ape's strength is not much less than that of a bear, so you can imagine how much power this toss has.
Chen Yang felt as if he were really flying. In that instant, he felt that his speed should have exceeded one hundred miles per hour.
As he soared into the air, the sunlight from the horizon shone down upon him, giving Chen Yang the feeling that he was about to attain immortality.
But this is not the time to indulge in pleasure. One wrong move and you could lose your life. What's the point of indulging in pleasure then?
The ape's lift was very effective; by the time he reached his highest point, he had likely leaped fifteen meters.
Chen Yang's momentum had reached its peak. If he were to fall like this, he would only reach about nineteen meters at most, falling short by six or seven meters. That six or seven-meter difference represents the distance to the ground. At this point, a double jump would be necessary.
Chen Yang stomped his foot again in mid-air.
The wind gathered wildly beneath his feet, almost becoming visible, and every part of his body was supported by the wind.
In real life, Chen Yang can perform a double jump in mid-air. In the micro-world, with his ground-walking boots, his success rate is even higher, and he is also faster.
He was in good shape; he could feel the wind lifting him up. This gave him the confidence to cross that final stretch.
But just then, a strong valley wind suddenly blew in from below the crack.
At this critical moment, any slight impact can be fatal, let alone such a strong wind.
Chen Yang looked serious; the more critical the moment, the more calm he needed to be.
The valley wind was blowing up from below, and although it broke his control over the wind, there was still room for him to stop it.
He gave up on the double jump and simply used the valley wind and the light breeze to descend forward.
He was descending very slowly, almost gliding, so he was getting closer and closer to the other side of the crevice.
However, he was no longer tall enough, making it impossible for him to land on the other side.
Chen Yang reacted quickly and moved swiftly, drawing out the Tenacious Blade in less than a second. Before it hit the cliff face, he plunged the Tenacious Blade into the cliff wall. Only the incredibly sharp and indestructible Tenacious Blade could penetrate this rock that had been frozen for millions of years.
The TV dramas are all lies; the idea that you can slide four or five meters after sticking a sword in there is just a joke.
Chen Yang's arm dislocated immediately, and the impact with the cliff face intensified his pain throughout his body, yet he still clung tightly to the stubborn crevice.
This is a vertical cliff face with no footholds; if you let go, you're dead.
Chen Yang is now in a very awkward situation. His right hand is dislocated, and the other throwing knives on his body cannot pierce the stone.
Finally, Chen Yang used his left hand to grab the Tenacious Blade, struggled to pull himself up, and then stepped on the hilt of the Tenacious Blade with one foot; the blade was completely embedded in the stone.
This was almost like a high-altitude acrobatic performance. It looked incredibly dangerous. Chen Yang felt a lingering fear as he looked down.
To his upper left was a rock wall about three meters away, just big enough to stand on. Chen Yang was confident he could jump up using the Tenacious Blade, but the Tenacious Blade would have to stay there.
It seems we'll have to wait for another opportunity to retrieve the Blade of Tenacity. Such a divine artifact must be recovered; it can't just be left lying around.
Chen Yang stepped onto the stubborn blade and jumped up, landing steadily on the stone wall. Then he climbed up the stone wall, where there were some handholds to help him reach the cliff face.
When Chen Yang reached the top and successfully stood at the foot of the summit, he was overwhelmed with excitement. He didn't rush the last part of the climb but instead took it one step at a time to reach the top.
When he actually placed his footprints on the summit, he was stunned, because a point of light was floating on the summit.
He touched the light spot with his hand.
"Congratulations, Realm Master, on completing the hidden quest 'Peak'. Please accept the reward."
