"Hmm, I think today is the day." Divine nodded.
Having been in xico for so long, he naturally understood that this kind of opportunity was rare.
Moreover, according to the teorologists hired by Li Weimin, this ti might be the most astonishing hurricane in recent years.
Big enough to churn up waves over 20 ters high.
Missing today’s weather, it would be hard to encounter such a chance again.
So, whether he’s ready or not, the challenge must begin today.
"I’ll take care of the logistics for you; you head to the beach to warm up for the challenge," Li Weimin said.
Divine nodded, then returned to the hotel room to change clothes.
He carried his surf suit into the shower room, undressing.
The mirror reflected his muscular and sinewy physique.
Due to his energy absorption thod changing to ultraviolet absorption, his body fat percentage beca extrely low, much lower than most bodybuilders during competition season. But it wasn’t the type of sub-healthy state with deeply sunken cheeks. Even though his body fat was at the extre low, he looked very healthy.
Even if traditional Chinese dicine experts skilled in diagnosis were to examine him, the conclusion would be that he was exceedingly healthy. This is because when the body is strong to a certain degree, its internal circulation and balance gradually correct themselves, coupled with his regular practice of Innate Skill, his Primordial Qi is tens of tis more abundant than ordinary people, naturally making him appear very healthy.
Moreover, recently, Divine has almost nightly used Thunder Forging Body in the wilderness.
Although his Thunder Skill level was relatively low and the efficiency of summoning lightning was particularly slow, on average, every half hour, he could still summon a bolt of lightning to strike him. His body floated mid-air like a lightning rod, easily attracting lightning to strike him.
Many might not realize, lightning has extrely high voltage, about 100 million to 1 billion volts. The power of a dium-strength thunderstorm can reach 10 million watts, equivalent to a small nuclear power plant’s output power. It’s known that exceeding one thousand volts is enough to pose a severe life threat to humans, even 100 volts passing through internal organs can cause severe damage.
And lightning exceeds 100 million volts, millions of tis higher than ordinary outlets. Despite Divine having Gang Qi protection, and skin and muscles as hard as iron, the terrifying heat of tens of thousands of degrees and enough electricity to instantaneously penetrate the whole body would still cause severe damage to him, with each strike evaporating a certain amount of fat, draining residual fat and useless impurities from his body, which made his muscle lines beco fiercer.
Originally sculptural full muscle, dried of fat by lightning of tens of thousands of degrees, the back muscles now looked as fierce as ani demons’ backs, with each muscle edge’s fibers intricately intertwined, deeply ravined into a dark abyss.
Divine pressed down hard, feeling the muscle was more resilient than before.
Because impurities were drained, the body shrank a lot, its density higher now.
Like a bundle of soft cotton pressed tight and solid by a hydraulic press, becoming as hard as steel.
Although its shock absorption capabilities were weakened, its resistance to piercing and cutting improved further.
Knowing that his body’s hardness was already much tougher than 99% of tals, now compressed for density by Thunder Forging Body, its toughness beca self-evident, likely even large-caliber sniper rifles that once posed a threat would find it hard to cause obvious harm now.
This body defense, paired with gill slits for underwater breathing, ans no matter how severe the consequences of this challenge, he could survive. Even if swept into the seabed and crashed onto shallow reefs or hard coral, he wouldn’t suffer any harm.
But Divine’s goal is success, not survival, so he remained very tense.
His chance was likely just one. Failing would an all was for naught.
He’d have to wait another year or even several years for the next opportunity.
Although according to the film "Extre Thief", Ozaki’s Eight doesn’t necessarily need to complete the challenges in certain areas, it mainly pursues a spirit of extremity and longing for Nirvana. Hence, the challenge’s locations and order can be freely chosen based on personal circumstances.
Even the movie’s protagonist, after failing the challenge in France, chose the Cortes Sea in xico for the Life of Water challenge.
But Divine is different; his goal is to recreate the movie’s scenes, so he needs to try to choose the locations where the movie appears for the challenge.
Divine quickly donned the tight surf suit, and wore a windbreaker over it.
Then he carried the surfboard, ready to head out to the beach.
Due to severe road flooding making driving impossible, Divine could only walk to the beach.
As for Li Weimin and Ah Gui and others later, they’d likely also end up walking to the beach in raincoats.
Divine maintained subsonic speed, continually running along the road surface, even encountering waterlogged areas couldn’t impede his steps, for his stepping frequency and pace could easily accomplish short-distance water surface gliding, that is, switching main legs before the water surface tension breaks, achieving treadwater tracelessly.
