Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 164 Flight Data
Late at night, when everything is quiet, a hotel is gently wrapped in the night for the Nth time.

Hu Xiaobei activated his shadow ability, deliberately blocking out the sounds around his room, and moved the window carefully, fearing that he would disturb an activist.

He performed the flying technique and floated to the roof of the hotel. The sea breeze, carrying a hint of coolness and the unique salty smell of the sea, hit him in the face again, making him instantly sober.

He looked up at the pitch-black sea in the distance that merged with the night sky, took a deep breath, and uncontrollable excitement surged in his heart.

Tonight, he will experience the thrill of exploring the secrets of flight again.
Hu Xiaobei leaned forward slightly, clenched his fists subconsciously, and looked at the sea in the distance at night, his perceptive "eyes" exploring the surrounding situation.

"We've tested it several times over the past few days, and we'll do one last test today to get the average flight data."

He murmured softly, his eyes full of joy at having the wisdom in his hands.

As the thought flashed through his mind, a thick, inky shadow surged from his back. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a pair of huge shadow wings, which trembled slightly in the night wind and emitted a low humming sound.

Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath, bent his legs slightly, tightened his knees, and leaned forward like a cheetah. Then he exerted force suddenly, pushed the ground hard with his feet, and rushed into the night sky like an arrow.

As soon as he took off, a strong sea breeze blew in his face, but it did not make his clothes rustle or his hair fly wildly like last time.

It was only because he had already improved the shielding ability of the shadow wings, and the slight sea breeze had no effect on him at all due to the isolation of the shadow.

Hu Xiaobei flew towards the distant sea with full concentration, and the images and data from the tests in the past few days kept appearing in his mind.

“Try going straight up first.”

He chanted silently in his mind while concentrating his mind and controlling his shadow ability, slowly increasing his strength while in suspension.

He frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the sky. In the suspended state, as the additional force gradually reached 100 kilograms, his body began to sway slightly.

Hu Xiaobei quickly adjusted his posture, maintained his balance, and felt the speed of the ascent.

"Last time, the straight-line ascent speed was about 40 meters per second. Let's see if there's any change this time."

He was sensing the data from the speed meter in his pocket while muttering to himself.

After a while, he successfully completed the straight-line ascent test, then adjusted his posture, leaned forward, and the shadow wings began to adjust, changing to an irregular streamlined flight.

At this moment, he was like a meteor across the night sky, and his speed was obviously increasing.

"The streamlined flight speed remains at around 65 meters per second, but it feels smoother this time."

A hint of excitement appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

There is nothing much to say about straight-line ascent, but streamlined flight is equivalent to the data of short-distance conventional flight status.

Finally, like a flying bird, he deliberately swung his shadow wings left and right a few times, challenging the boundless night sky with a horizontal flight.

As the force continued to be applied, the frequency of the Shadow's wings' vibrations became higher and higher, and the speed of flight became faster and faster.

Finally, he shouted at the top of his lungs in the boundless sky, "That's awesome! Let me see how fast I can reach with this lateral flight!"

The sound was filled with endless excitement and anticipation, echoing wildly in the silent night sky for a long time.

After nearly two hours of high-intensity testing, Hu Xiaobei's eyes were still extremely fiery.

He slowly floated in the air, his chest heaving violently, overlooking the turbulent sea below, his heart filled with pride and satisfaction.

A little fatigue seems insignificant in the face of this sense of accomplishment.

He turned off the speed measuring device he carried with him and summarized the average flight data of the past few days.

"The speed in straight-line ascent is a steady 40 m/s, in streamline flight it's about 65 m/s, and in lateral flight it's about 80 m/s, which translates to 144–288 km/h, depending on the flight.

A reasonable flight speed for a long period of time is estimated to be around 200-250 km/h, which is close to the speed of a high-speed train. It seems that the test results in the past few days have been quite stable.

Of course, this is not Hu Xiaobei's maximum speed.

After all, he hadn't yet unleashed his power. He had merely applied an additional 100 kilograms, or 981 Newtons, of force, after deducting the minimum force required for his own levitation. Hu Xiaobei put away his speedometer and looked up at the night sky. The stars twinkled, as if cheering for his strength.

He took a deep breath, feeling the gentle caress of the sea breeze, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"From now on, the sky will be my stage."

Hu Xiaobei was suspended in the air above the sea, muttering to himself in a rare childish tone, his eyes firm and confident, with a happy smile on his face.

At this moment, a new idea flashed through his mind.

His eyes lit up instantly, filled with eagerness to try.

"Now that the flight test is complete, I might as well take this opportunity to test my diving abilities again."

If it comes to mind, do it.

He quickly activated his shadow ability in mid-air, and thick, inky shadows spread from around his body, forming a huge envelope while storing enough oxygen.

You should know that 1 cubic meter of sealed air can support an adult's normal breathing for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

As carbon dioxide concentrations gradually reach dangerous levels, they begin to affect health.

If your breath-holding ability is strong enough and you consciously control your breathing, you can hold it for several hours.

Hu Xiaobei's shadow control range is a sphere with a radius of 16-20 meters. The space is large enough and there is no need to worry about oxygen problems.

Of course, he wouldn't use it all to store oxygen. Just a few cubic meters would be enough for him.

He leaned forward slightly, ready to enter the water, and then fell into the sea like a meteor, splashing a small splash of water.

The moment he fell into the sea, it was as if he had cast a water-avoiding technique. The shadows around him instantly became like a layer of soft yet indestructible shield, protecting him gently and tightly.

When the sea water touched this shadow, it was like hitting an invisible soft barrier, flowing, splashing and spreading in all directions in an instant.

The shadows outlined a crystal clear isolated space around him, as if isolating him from the real underwater world, but miraculously allowing him to peek into this mysterious realm.

Hu Xiaobei concentrated on controlling his shadow ability. The pair of shadow wings that had once spread out freely in the night sky now looked like a nimble fish fin and tail in the water, complementing each other.

The "fin" adjusted its direction precisely, sometimes swinging slightly to the left, sometimes swaying slightly to the right, driving his body to turn flexibly.

The "fish tail" paddled vigorously left and right, and each swing released a powerful thrust, stirring up circles of small, fleeting eddies in the dark blue sea, which were traces of his progress.

In order to speed up the dive, Hu Xiaobei applied additional downward force.

With the infusion of this power, he was like a bird falling from the sky, swimming rapidly towards the depths of the sea that seemed to have no end.

Only a string of rapidly rising bubbles remained to prove that he had passed by here.

Hu Xiaobei continued to dive. The sea water a hundred meters deep was like thick lead plates, pressing in from all directions.

Fortunately, thanks to the protection of the shadow, his body did not feel any discomfort, and it was no different from being on land.

I didn't feel any pressure at all.

He calmed himself down and inexplicably recalled the scene of Yang Guo practicing martial arts on the beach.

As the mind moved, part of the shadow began to change and shrink.

A small part of the shadow changed its shape, forming a solid stepping floor under Hu Xiaobei's feet.

The originally huge shadow protection now turned into a thin but extremely tough body barrier that kept the freezing cold sea water out.
