Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 160: Trait: Burst, Entering the Mountain Bike Cross-Country Race

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Trait: Burst, Entering the Mountain Bike Cross-Country Race

The reason Wang Ye made this request.

Is because he wanted to use the gym’s cycling trainer to work on his Cycling Skill.

When using the cycling trainer, his Skill Level was improving at such an unreasonable speed. If he could use it continuously for one night, he would definitely upgrade his Cycling Skill to lv5.

Wang Ye did not want to miss this opportunity.

"Sure, I’ll have my buddy give you the gym key later. You can train as long as you want, just lock the door when you leave." Brother Zui readily agreed.

Wang Ye nodded, "Thanks."

"By the way, I remember there’s a mountain biking competition in Wei Sea these days. You seem to enjoy participating in various sports competitions, why not sign up?" Brother Zui suggested, "With the power of your mighty legs, winning the championship should be a sure thing."

"Mountain biking?" Wang Ye raised his eyebrows. He was not unfamiliar with this sport. Actually, he had occasionally followed extreme sports videos online long ago, such as parkour, free climbing, base jumping, mountain descending, and wingsuit flying. He had heard of them all.

Generally speaking, cycling on dirt roads or forest trails with some undulations or rough terrains can be called mountain biking. Some even pursue higher thrills by attempting downhill on extremely steep slopes.

This sport not only requires exceptional physical fitness but also excellent reaction capability, otherwise, you might face catastrophic accidents if you can’t adjust in time at a sudden turn.

"How about it, interested?" Brother Zui explained, "If you register now, you can participate the morning after tomorrow. Before that, you’ll need to get the relevant mountain biking gear yourself."

"Alright, then please sign me up." Wang Ye agreed.

"No problem!"

After agreeing, Brother Zui went aside to handle the registration.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye replenished some energy and water, taking a short rest.

Then, he got back on the cycling trainer, ready to continue grinding his Skill Level.

Maintaining a cruising speed between 5000W and 10000W until exhaustion.

Wang Ye kept repeating cycling and resting.

The Skill Level for his Cycling Skill on the panel was steadily improving.

As night fell, the gym members gradually left.

Around 10 PM, Brother Zui and his friend also left the gym.

Before leaving, they handed the gym door key to Wang Ye.

Time flew by quickly, and soon it was 3 AM.

The bike frame beneath him had been wildly distorted by his immense power, and if he continued using it, it might completely fall apart.

Finally.

The panel in front of Wang Ye suddenly flashed a new text.

[Your Cycling Skill Level is full, upgraded from lv4 to lv5.]

Feeling countless cycling experiences and insights flood into his mind, the somewhat sleepy Wang Ye immediately felt reinvigorated.

"Finally upgraded! I wonder what the trait of Cycling is?"

Wang Ye rubbed his eyes and immediately looked at the Cycling Skill on the panel.

[Cycling lv5 (0.5%)]

[Trait: Burst—Neural Recruitment Ability increased by 10%]

"Neural Recruitment Ability?"

Seeing this strange yet familiar term, Wang Ye was stunned.

He quickly opened his phone and entered the term "Neural Recruitment Ability" into the search engine.

It took Wang Ye ten minutes on the page to finally understand what Neural Recruitment Ability actually means.

"Neural Recruitment Ability" refers to the ability of neurons to recruit muscle fibers for movement. Simply put, it’s the ability to use more force under the same muscle volume.

Typically, ordinary people can only recruit 60% of muscle fibers for movement, while athletes can recruit about 80% of muscle fibers. This figure can only be temporarily increased after long-term training or in life-threatening situations. That’s why most people can unleash far more power than usual when adrenaline is massively secreted.

However.

In terms of Neural Recruitment Ability, innate factors are far more important than acquired ones.

For example, some skinny people on the internet can exert unexpected great power.

Like carrying hundreds of pounds of cement, lifting a 300-pound dumbbell with one hand, or bending a wrench with bare hands.

These are actually due to strong innate Neural Recruitment Ability.

So some people are born with Divine Power, while others struggle to gain strength no matter how they train.

This is because people with excellent Neural Recruitment Ability can use muscles of the same quality and volume to unleash twice the strength of others.

For example, Martial Arts master Bruce Lee is a typical example of someone with excellent Neural Recruitment Ability. Though his muscle volume was not large, he could unleash punching power comparable to heavyweight boxers.

Besides that, there’s also Ge Wuyuan, Old Naughty Thunderbolt Hand, and other martial arts online celebrities, who are typical examples of excellent Neural Recruitment Ability.

However, having strong Neural Recruitment Ability isn’t entirely advantageous—smaller muscle volume means less energy in muscle fibers, so endurance will be poorer. And excellent Neural Recruitment Ability increases muscle consumption. Therefore, strong Neural Recruitment Ability often only brings good short-term bursting power, rather than long-term continuous superpower.

"So the enhancement in Neural Recruitment Ability is equivalent to a direct boost in my burst power?" Wang Ye murmured, rubbing his chin.

His current exercise volume was absolutely substantial, but he could feel that he originally could only mobilize a maximum of 90% of his muscle fibers. After the enhancement, he could barely mobilize close to 100% of muscle fibers for motion.

Without the system’s forced enhancement, he might never have been able to train to 100% in a lifetime.

This indicates that postnatal development of Neural Recruitment Ability is extremely challenging, primarily relying on innate capabilities.

With this in mind, Wang Ye mounted the cycling trainer once again. Ready to test what changes there would be in power output after his Burst power increased by 10%.

Wang Ye performed a perfect sprint comparable to that of a professional athlete, increasing his pedaling frequency.

After a long two minutes of acceleration, a more intense roar than before came from the back of the cycling trainer.

And the screen in front of him showed that his cycling power had reached 18000W.

Just as Wang Ye was about to push his limits further.

Suddenly, the bike frame beneath him exploded, turning into countless broken parts scattered around.
