Supersonic Helicopter, Yo!
Flight instructor Little Li had a subtle feeling at that moment—as if he and the two instructors were in two different worlds? Their minds were thinking on completely different tracks?!
"Shuhang!" Venerable White's eyes sharpened as he answered earnestly, "Whether it's a provocation or not is unimportant! The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties, like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind! Therefore, on the path of cultivation, we must never lag behind others! So, no matter what, we cannot fall behind!"
Senior, what you say makes a lot of sense... but these are just some principles of cultivation, right? What does it have to do with the other party surpassing us in flying swords? Besides, flight instructor Little Li is right there. Is it really okay to discuss cultivators' issues so openly?
Just then, Song Shuhang saw that Instructor Little Li was looking at him and Venerable White with a blank expression, occasionally picking his ear, and then his face turned pale.
"Uh." Song Shuhang immediately realized that Instructor Little Li had been soundproofed by Senior White!
At this moment, Instructor Little Li saw that Venerable White's lips were moving, but he could not hear any sound.
No, he couldn't hear not only the instructor's voice, but also the noise of the helicopter's propellers.
What happened? What's going on?
Instructor Little Li panicked. He dug into his ears forcefully, but still couldn't hear anything.
He slapped his face hard, but the sound was barely audible.
Am I deaf?
Why? I was perfectly fine just a minute ago, why did I suddenly go deaf?
Little Li tried hard to recall what had just happened, but... he couldn't remember anything.
Don't panic, stay calm.
As an excellent flight instructor, Little Li has a big heart. Am I dreaming?
He pinched his thigh hard... Ouch, it hurts! It wasn't a nightmare!
Little Li's face turned pale.
After a long pause, he sighed—thank God, I'll never have to hear that dull noise of airplane propellers again... because I'm fucking deaf!
--If he goes deaf, he can no longer be a flight instructor. He will have to say goodbye to his high-paying job as a flight instructor and find another way.
Perhaps the only thing to be happy about was that he received a generous reward before the flight? But that didn't bring him any joy at all.
Just as Instructor Little Li was lost in thought, Venerable White had already begun to take action.
At this moment, he continued to fly the plane with one hand, while using his finger as a pen with the other to begin drawing on the plane... a very complex formation, much more advanced than the formation his senior had drawn on the car a few days ago.
The more this happened, the more uneasy Song Shuhang felt.
He knew that there was no way to persuade Senior White now.
"Senior White, please be gentle when you're speeding around later. Also, don't forget, there's an ordinary person next to you." Song Shuhang glanced at Instructor Little Li —Instructor, this is all I can do for you.
"Don't worry, even if the plane falls apart, this instructor will be fine! I guarantee he'll be alright; I'm Seventh-Grade Spirit Venerable, after all." Senior White laughed heartily, giving a thumbs up. "Afterwards, I'll erase his memory; he won't remember anything that happened! He won't even be psychologically affected, absolutely no problem!"
Song Shuhang secretly touched his heart—goodness, it was beating fast.
However, this time it wasn't Senior White's charm that made his heart flutter, but rather Senior White's words, "The plane is falling apart," that involuntarily brought to mind various plane crash scenes from movies.
Is this plane really going to fall apart?
"Haha, all done! This is a new formation I recently developed, a formation that combines 'invisibility, soundproofing, energy leakage prevention, and counter-reconnaissance' all in one. With it, this plane won't be seen by ordinary people, nor will it be detected by radar or anything like that. Hahahaha," Senior White said proudly.
How terrifying! When did Senior White secretly develop this new formation?
Next, Senior White inscribed a second formation on the plane.
While he was carving, he explained, "Then here's another formation, the Super Acceleration Array. This is an upgraded version of your 'Azure Wind Acceleration Pendant.' After my improvements, this formation can achieve up to ten times the acceleration. Pretty good, right?"
Ten times faster?
Senior White, what dangerous thing are you researching?
Song Shuhang secretly calculated in his mind that the private helicopters used by the flight school were not fast, with a speed of about 150 to 170 kilometers per hour.
If you add ten times the speed, that's 1500 to 1700 kilometers per hour.
Then, converting the speed of sound, it's approximately 1224 kilometers per hour.
In other words... if Senior White were to push the formation to its limit, to ten times the speed, this ordinary helicopter would break the sound barrier and enter a 'supersonic' state—if the poor aircraft's hull was sturdy enough to withstand it?
It seems that falling apart is the only possible outcome.
Unless Senior White comes up with another formation to sturdy the aircraft fuselage.
However, Senior White didn't seem to have any intention of reinforcing the aircraft at all. After finishing the Improved Azure Wind Acceleration Array, he abruptly ended the array inscription.
"Time to accelerate!" Then, Senior White pushed the helicopter, skillfully pushing it to its maximum speed.
Instructor Little Li was standing nearby, panicked. Although he couldn't hear, he wasn't blind.
Through the aircraft's instruments, he saw the plane's speed increasing rapidly, quickly reaching 170 kilometers per hour.
The airplane propellers were spinning rapidly, and the fuselage seemed to be creaking and groaning under the strain.
"No, White Studies, you can't accelerate this fast during test flights! Stop now! And we can't keep flying forward like this... Turn around immediately. If we fly recklessly and enter the 'no-fly zone' again, we're doomed!" Instructor Little Li shouted.
Who knows what might happen if you enter a no-fly zone? You might get a free anti-aircraft missile shot, and then be sent back to the resurrection point to be reincarnated.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!" Venerable White gave Instructor Little Li a thumbs up! Because with him there, no one could spot the plane.
As he spoke, Venerable White began to channel spiritual energy into the array on the plane.
The Three-in-One Invisibility Array was activated, and the ordinary helicopter instantly transformed into a high-end 'stealth aircraft'.
It is truly invisible; ordinary people cannot see it with the naked eye, nor can they hear it. Neither radar nor more advanced air defense detection equipment can detect its existence.
Then, Senior White poured spiritual power into the 'Enhanced Azure Wind Acceleration Formation'.
"Double speed!"
The helicopter, which had already reached its limit, went even faster. The creaking and groaning sound from inside the aircraft became even more pronounced.
Instructor Little Li couldn't hear anything, but he saw on the plane's instruments that the speedometer had already exceeded the maximum. Moreover, he could still clearly feel that the plane's speed was still increasing.
What happened? What's going on?
He stared at Venerable White beside him with suspicion, but Venerable White remained calm, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Then he turned around and looked at Song Shuhang, who was wearing a 'spacesuit'.
Through the transparent window of his face, one could see Song Shuhang's wry smile, and then he shrugged at Fang Hang.
So something really did happen? Was Song Shuhang wearing his flight suit specifically for this kind of situation?
"White Studies, we're heading back to land!" Instructor Little Li turned around and called out to White Venerable.
Whatever happened, it's not too late to turn back—in any case, let's land back at the flight school's airport first.
Venerable White shook his head and refused the request.
Damn it! Instructor Little Li gritted his teeth, preparing to forcibly take over the pilot's command and control the plane to land himself.
Just then, Venerable White gently pointed at him.
Then, Instructor Little Li slumped back into his chair, completely paralyzed from the neck down, as if he had been acupunctured. He could only stare blankly at the airplane instruments and the scenery outside the window.
Oh, so I can turn around and admire the beauty of the Venerable White?
What's going on? What's going on?
Instructor Little Li's brain had already shut down. Even with the strongest heart, he was helpless against this kind of supernatural technique that only appeared in martial arts movies.
"Too slow, too slow!" Venerable White muttered. At this rate, he wouldn't be able to catch up with that little guy who had been taunting him on his flying sword. It would be too embarrassing if he were left far behind.
"Shuhang, get ready, go straight to ten times speed!" Venerable White said.
Song Shuhang immediately gripped the plane tightly, his whole body tense. At the same time, he carefully observed Instructor Little Li's condition, hoping that he could help at a crucial moment.
At this moment, Venerable White poured a large amount of spiritual power into the formation in one breath, increasing the speed to ten times the normal speed.
In an instant, the speed of this ordinary helicopter was forcibly increased to a supersonic speed of 1,500 kilometers per hour.
Then, a beautiful sonic boom cloud formed around the helicopter.
"What a beautiful sonic boom cloud!" Instructor Little Li exclaimed in his heart.
No, wait! A sonic boom cloud?
Holy crap, am I seeing things?
Instructor Little Li stared blankly at this scene, which he had only ever seen in flight videos.
Breaking the sound barrier and achieving supersonic flight is a dream cherished by many speed-loving pilots.
Little Li is still young, and of course he has fantasized that one day his plane will break the sound barrier and enter supersonic speed.
Today, it seems his wish has come true.
But how is that possible? This is supersonic flight!
A helicopter? How could it possibly achieve supersonic flight? That's not scientific... I must be hallucinating, right?
Moreover, if ordinary helicopters were to actually break the sound barrier, then terrifying problems would arise.
Crash! The helicopter started to fall apart, the first part breaking off being the propeller... However, this was only the beginning of the disaster.
